THE VAN OVER HEATED AND LEFT ME STRANDED ON THE FREEWAY BECAUSE THE PLASTIC INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET MELTED. *JB
1998
EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS
I WAS MAKING A TURN AND WAS GOING NO MORE THAN 10MPH, WHEN I HEARD A NOISE. I STOPPED WHEN I GOT TO MY DESTINATION AND REALIZED THAT BOTH OF MY HEADLIGHT COVERS HAD FALLEN OFF THE VAN! I WENT BACK TO THE PLACE WHERE IT HAPPENED AND RETRIEVED THE, ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT THE GLUE HAD SEPARATED THE 2 PARTS. MANUFACTURER. SAID IT IS NOT A 2 PC/ PART, BUT NOW MINE IS. I HAVE HEARD FROM A REPAIR SHOP THAT MINE IS THE 19TH IN MY AREA ALONE TO HAVE THIS HAPPEN TO IN THE PAST 6 WEEKS. I FEEL THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLE, B/C IF THE BULB WERE TO GET WET, WOULDN'T IT SHORT OUT? THUS CAUSING THE DRIVER TO NOT HAVE HEADLIGHTS?? I FEEL THAT THE MFR. SHOULD ISSUE A VOULENTARY RECALL OF THE MINI VANS AND FIX IT AT NO COST TO THE CONSUMER.
