Consumer Description

I KEPT BURNING OUT BRAKES EVERY 6 MONTHS UNTIL THE WHOLE BRAKE LINE BLEW UP CAUSED FROM HEAT. MECHANIC SAID BRAKE LINE MELTED DUE TO PLACEMENT NEXT TO HEAT FROM CATALYTIC CONVERTER. A VERY SERIOUS MANUFACTURERS DEFAULT. POTENTIAL FIRE AND FATALITY SAFETY ISSUE! LINE NEEDS HEAT RESISTER SHIELD NEXT TO CONVERTER. HEAD GASKET BLEW BUT DEALER CLAIMS RECALL ONLY GOES TO 100K MILES AND WON'T COVER BLOWN ENGINE. JUST PAID VAN OFF NOW THE ENGINE IS GONE! EXPECTED MORE THAN 5 YEARS OUT OF IT. THE VAN SHOULD BE RECALLED! *AK
