This car has gone to the dealer so many times and not been fixed. After my warrantee expired I took the van to a trusted mechanic and at a great cost to me is the van being repaired. The dealer never once acknowledge or fixed any problems that the independant car mechanic was able to find easily.
Brake completely failed when exiting the freeway causing the pedal to go to the floor, consumer was able to stop car by reapplying the brake harshly. Nlm
