Tipm issue, vehicle won't start or has trouble starting multiple times a day and was told that vehicle could lose power while driving down road. Dealership says recall is in process but parts are unavailable...yet say that they will fix it? How can you fix something without having any parts to fix it? Also won't give a rental. *js
