Consumer Description

WHEN I PUT THE VAN IN DRIVE IN THE A.M., IT HESITATED LIKE I HAD IT IN BETWEEN GEARS. AS I PULLED OUT INTO THE HIGHWAY, WE HEARD A LOUD CRUNCH LIKE WE BOTTOMED OUT. AS WE ARE SITTING IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY ROAD WITH ON COMING TRAFFIC, THE VAN ONLY WENT IN REVERSE!! MUCH TO THE SURPRISE OF ON COMING TRAFFIC. THIS MINI VAN HAS ONLY 47,000 MILES AND HAS BEEN BABIED FOR A LONG TIME. *JB
