Consumer Description

WE BOUGHT THIS VAN IN JANUARARY 1, 2000 WE HAVE HAD THIS VAN FOR A YEAR NOW AND HAVE HAD THE BRAKES DONE ON IT 8 TIMES. THE BRAKES GET SO HOT THAT IT MELTS THE VALVE STEMS. ALSO WHEN WE BOUGHT THIS VAN THE YELLOW LIGHTS ON THE FRONT DASH FOR THE REAR WINDOW WIPER AND THE OTHER LIGHTS SURROUNDING THAT LIGHT KEEP BLINKING AND WONT STOP BLINKING UNTIL DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY FOR ABOUT 10 TO 15 MINUTES. THE DEALERSHIP DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO MAKE THE LIGHTS STOP BLINKING. *AK
