    The problem that i am reporting is that two of my keys recently spontaneously deprogrammed themselves. Fortunately neither key was running my ignition at the time of failure. I took my keys to my local service department and had them reprogrammed. To be clear: this was not the result of a battery failure, as the problem persisted even after battery replacements. I asked my dealership's service department for an…

    I was driving on i-15 in rural southern utah (which has a high speed limit), on cruise control, and suddenly lost all power. The van continued to coast (no lock up of gears or anything) and i immediately went to the side of the road where i turned off the ignition (which was still on) and then turned it back on. The van started up without problems and i haven't had a problem since. *tr

    Air condition in the vehicle comes by itself and goes off after certain time even though the switch is off. We get cold in the vehicle and doesn't have anyway to switch it off. Driver need to switch off fan when it's too cold and switch on the fan when the cabin becomes hot. Having drivers mind in making this manual operator job, he/she looses the concentration on the road. Having kids in the back the car and…
