| 2010 | WHEELS | FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIRE RAPIDLY DEFLATED CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO PULL RIGHT INTO ON COMING TRAFFIC. THE NEAR MISS COULD HAVE BEEN FATAL. UPON INVESTIGATION IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE CAUSE WAS CORROSION OF THE TPMS VALVE. I DID A QUICK INTERNET INVESTIGATION AND LEARNED THAT THE CORROSION AND RESULTING TIRE FAILURE ARE COMMON INCIDENTS. WHY HAVEN'T THESE FAULTY TPMS VALVES BEEN RECALLED? THIS ISSUE WILL SURELY RESULT IN DEATHS WHICH I BELIEVE IS THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT THESE TPMS SENSORS ARE FOR. *TR |
| 2011 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM | HAD THE VAN LESS THAN 3 MONTHS AND TOOK IT IN FOR SERVICE - BRAKES SQUEAKING AND STEERING PULLING TO RIGHT W/ONLY 4K MILES. FOUND OUT STEERING BOOT WAS "DISINTEGRATED" AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, ALONG WITH STEERING PUMP AND RELATED PARTS. DEALERSHIP HAD NO EXPLANATION AS TO WHY THE DAMAGE OCCURRED OR WHAT COULD HAVE CAUSED IT. MY VAN WAS IN THE SHOP FOR 28 DAYS WAITING FOR AVAILABLE PARTS AND COMPLETING REPAIRS. I HAVE ONLY HAD MY VAN BACK A WEEK AND IT'S PULLING TO THE RIGHT AGAIN. ALSO, A/C DOESN'T COOL CONSISTENTLY - FADES IN AND OUT. *TR |
