In may, 2014, the car died a couple times after stopping at a stop sign and again as we drove down the highway - had to turn off the ignition and restart - took it to the dealer and paid for a repair. In September 2014, received recall 14V-373 - dealer installed key detent and I purchased a new key fob. In March, 2015, car died again as we drove about 20 mph down a city street - took it to dealer and they removed the key detent - said recall did not apply to our vehicle, and had not determined how to fix it. After driving it this week, it has worked okay - but we fear what might happen if we're in a lot of traffic and the car 'dies'.

Pushed the unlock button on the key fob one day and the horn started blaring, windshield washer spraying, front and rear wipers running, doors locking/unlocking. I had to get the hard key out of the fob to unlock the doors and pop the hood to disconnect the battery. The problem cleared randomly. This has happened about 7 times. I finally decided to pull the fuses for the horn as not to annoy the neighbors. The next time it went off, I heard clicking noises from the fuse box under the hood. I tapped the fuse box the problem stopped. I don't notice anything suspicious that might be causing this. This has also happened while driving creating a dangerous situation. The problem has also been triggered while trying to open the door while locked. Based on the other complaints, I think this really needs to be a recall. The vehicle is great otherwise. It is a shame when you think you have a good vehicle and then something like this happens. I do not feel safe driving my family in the van.
