TH REAR A/C QUIT BLOWING HARD AND MY KIDS GET VERY HOT. THE VAN IS ONLY 2.5 YEARS OLD AND HAS A POOR DESIGN IN DUCT WORK OR SOMETHING THAT CAUSES THIS ISSUE IN THE REAR AIR.
MY CAR WOULD REV UP REALLY LOUD AFTER I STARTED IT AND WOULD LAST FOR 1 MINUTE OR 1 MINUTE AND HALF UNTIL I DEPRESS THE ACCELIRATOR . RECENTLY MY CAR WILL KEEP ON REVVING UP IN LOW SPEED AND WHILE IN INTERSTATE, I COULD FEEL THE ENGINE REALLY LOUD WHILE DRIVING AT HIGH SPEED AND I WON'T SPEED UP IN LOW SPEED EXCEPT GIVING LOUD SOUND. I FEEL ITS DANGEROUS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE WHEN IT DO THAT.

THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW FROM THE DEALERSHIP. WHILE DRIVING, THE AIR CONDITIONING AIR FLOW TO THE BACK THREE ROWS OF SEATS IS INSUFFICIENT. DUE TO INSUFFICIENT AIRFLOW, TEMPERATURES WITHIN THE VEHICLE REMAIN AT OR NEAR THE OUTSIDE (AMBIENT) TEMPERATURE FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME. THIS IS A DANGEROUS CONDITION WHEN THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE IS ABOVE 100 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT. WHEN MEASURED FROM THE REAR SEAT, IT TAKES OVER 30 MINUTES FOR THE INTERNAL TEMPERATURE TO GET BELOW 90 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT, WHICH CAN CAUSE DEHYDRATION OR HEAT STROKE IN CHILDREN. IT TAKES ABOUT 40 MINUTES FOR INTERNAL TEMPERATURES TO DROP BELOW 80 DEGREES IN THE REAR SEAT. UPON INSPECTION BY A FACTORY AUTHORIZED TECHNICIAN, IT WAS STATED THAT 'THE VEHICLE IS WORKING AS DESIGNED,' AND NO SOLUTION WAS OFFERED.
TWO TIMES WITHIN 12 MONTHS OUR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME OF AND THE ENGINE STARTED MAKING NOISE LIKE TWO METAL DISCS ARE RUBBING AGAINST EACH OTHER. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHEN WE JUST RECENTLY FILL UP THE TANK AND THEN HAVE A LARGE TEMPERATURE SWING FROM HOT TO COLD. THE FIRST TIME THE GUY SAID IT IS BAD GAS...I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE WE GOT BAD GAS FROM TWO DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS WITHIN 12 MONTHS.
