Consumer Description

AUTOMATIC LIGHT SWITCH IS DEFECTIVE, LIGHTS COME ON AT NIGHT AND RUN BATTERY DOWN. THIS IS A 2005 CARAVAN AND ONLY 41000 MILES ON IT. THE FUEL PUMP WENT OUT TODAY. WE WERE DRIVING DOWN THE STREET AND IT JUST DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD, ALMOST GOT US RUN OVER. AT OVER $25000 YOU EXPECT A CAR TO LAST LONGER THAN 10 MONTHS. I WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER ONE! THE DEALER SAID AFTER 36000 MILES ITS NOT COVERED. THAT'S BULL!. NOW ITS GONNA COST US $500 OR MORE TO FIX JUST THE FUEL PUMP, NOT THE DEFECTIVE LIGHTS. THIS VAN IS A LEMON!!!!!!!!! *NM
