Consumer Description

I AM ALSO ONE THAT HAD TO SPEND $1933.07 BEAUSE OF HEAD GASKET PROBLEM. I HAVE ALSO REPLACED MY BRAKE PAD 5 TIMES. I HAVE ALSO BOUGHT NEW FRONT TIRES 3 TIMES IN 3 YEARS. THE TIRE WEAR IS UNREAL. I ALSO HAVE THE PROBLEM OF THE ODOMETER NOT WORKING. THE PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES AND ENGINE RUNNING SLUGGISH HAVE BEEN SINCE I PURCHASED THE VAN. THE ODD THING IS YOU DON'T GET WARNING SIGNS. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD COME ON - GO OFF. IN ORDER FOR THE DEALER TO KNOW WHAT IS WRONG THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT MUST BE ON. NEVER HAD ANY SIGN OF THE ENGINE OVERHEATING. GREAT DRIVING VAN BUT MANY, MANY, MANY, MANY, MANY PROBLEMS.
