Consumer Description

THE ABS LIGHT HAS COME ON OVER 3 OCCASIONS. THE FIRST TWO TIMES OCCURRED WITHIN 2 YEARS AFTER THE PURCHASE OF THE VAN THEREFORE THE REPAIR WAS UNDER WARRANTY. THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT WAS 06/2000 DUE TO A WIRE SHORT AND THE REPAIR COSTED $219. ALSO, WE JUST NOTICED THAT A PIECE OF BAR WAS BROKEN OFF NEAR THE FRONT ALIGNMENT. TOOK THE VAN TO THE SHOP AND FOUND OUT THE SWAY BAR WAS BROKEN OFF. THE REPAIR SHOP INDICATED THAT THIS PART USUALLY LASTS THE LIFE OF THE VAN UNLESS WE HIT SOMETHING HARD. THIS WAS NOT THE CASE AND THE REPAIR WILL COST $430. *AK
