Consumer Description

MECHANICAL-BOUGHT '93 EXT. MODEL IN '96. REPLACED TWO STARTERS, TWO BATTERIES GOING TOWARDS MY THIRD ONE, HAD TO GET THE ENTIRE ENGINE REPAIRED BECAUSE OF A BLOWN HEAD GASKET, THE TRANNY STARTS SLIPPING FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR, WON'T BOTHER TRYING THE A/C NO MORE BECAUSE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, IT STARTS TO IDLE VERY ROUGH THEN IT STALLS. GAS MILEAGE NOT GOOD; I FILLED UP THE TANK, AND WHEN I BRAKE AT A STOP LIGHT...THE GASOLINE GAUGE ALMOST DROPS TO 1/2 A TANK AND IT WON'T COME BACK UP. TRAVELING FROM LOS ANGELES TO VALENCIA OR LOS ANGELES TO SAN DIEGO IT OVERHEATS TERRIBLY, DROVE A '90 TOYOTA TERCEL TO VALENCIA FROM L.A. WITH A BUSTED RADIATOR AND THAT CAR DID NOT OVERHEAT!.NICE VAN BUT I THOUGHT IT WAS A CHEVY NOT A FORD AEROSTAR. *LA
