This van has been nothing but a failure since I bought it. I have kept up the oil changes and maintenance as needed. The paint is coming of off the grill and the paint on the rest of the van is not holding up. I have replaced: Timing belt 3 times power steering pump once the thermostat twice the relay switch three times and it still does not work the relay on the motor once the air conditioning is failing in the front the rear door lock on the passenger side doesn't work my transmission is going out very soon I am a single parent in a large metroplex. I need my car to get to work. I cannot afford to buy another car now.
The electrical gauges and digital readout have repeatedly failed (7 times) resulting in no way to know speed/mph the vehicle is traveling, whether engine is overheating, gear that the transmission is in, car alarm does not function, all gauges are either giving faulty readings or no readings at all. This is only the most often repeated problem. Additionally, there have been numerous and different problems resulting in overheating, 3 battery replacements, premature replacement of brakes and wheel cylinder, numerous other problems. Vehicle currently not functioning due to 7th. Failure of electrical gauge panel, lights staying on causing battery drain and failure. Useless to recharge the battery because continuous burning of dash panel lights will continue to drain battery. No car alarm because of computer failure.ehicle
