1) the third row pier folding seats have twice been inadvertently activated by a child touching the button, and narrowly escaping being crushed by the folding seat. Also, the seat jammed in the half folded position and the dealership wanted $2600+ to fix it. The power folding seats are a death trap if someone cannot get out of the way when the button has been activated. 2) twice now, the electrical system has been flashing random codes- the tire pressure gauge when the tire pressure is fine, the ABS and traction light, and also weird mini rough idles at very low speeds in heavy traffic. It is a repeat problem that the shop seems to only temporarily fix.

Van has been intermittently stalling as I'm slowing at a light or when idling. It has also done this as I'm backing out of my driveway. No engine light comes on and there is no sound from the engine. Power steering and ABS stop working when this happens which makes this so dangerous.
