Consumer Description

WE BOUGHT THIS VAN AS A CONVERSION VAN. WE HAVE BEEN VERY UNHAPPY WITH THE PEROFRMANCE OF THE VAN. WE HAVE HAD THE AIRCONDITING REPAIRED TWICE. THE BATTERY FAILED MANY TIMES. ONE TIME THE ALTERNATOR WAS REPLACED. THERE HAS ALWAYS BEEN A CLONKING NOISE WHEN BRAKING THAT THE DEALER CAN IDENTIFY. THE TIRES WORE OUT JUST AFTER THEY WERE A YEAR OLD. THE VAN HAS ALSO BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR NUMEROUS OTHER REPAIRS.( DOT NUMBER: )
