Since 1997 we have replaced 4 heater cores, 2 radiators, head gaskets twice, we are facing repairs again only a few weeks after replacing the 3rd heater core. Damage unknown at this time. We wish to sell this minivan, but feel it would be unfair to burden an unsuspecting consumer with this poorly designed vehicle.
Passenger side sideview mirror cracked down the middle. Subsequently, the outside half separated from the housing and fell to the ground. The vehicle was parked in the owner's driveway.
A local ford dealer has informed me that this vehicle needs a head gasket replacement. I find it unacceptable that a head gasket failure should be expected at any time, especially in a vehicle that has not seen severe driving conditions. In the two years that I have owned this vehicle, various dealers have been unable to correct some issues that were merely annoying (speedometer wavering and jumping; whistling sound coming from engine compartment; rear wiper arm boot failure; buildup of snow/ice on front wipers during snow). With this recent failure (head gaskets), I am convinced that I have purchased a lemon.
Windshield wipers do not squirt out water when trying to clean the windshield. Electronic control could be defective. Rear wipers works properly. Dealer notified and tried to remedy the problem at owners expense. Problem still exists.
Driving down the highway at 72mph when the motor suddenly, without any warning stopped running. Traffic had to steer around me to avoid a collision, had it towed to repair shop and they said I lost the lower end of the motor will need a new motor to replace it. The heater stopped working due to a defective head gasket.
The rearview mirror fell off the windshield twice. The first time the mirror was glued back on by the owner. The second time windshield had to be replaced because when the mirror fell off the windshield was cracked. The windshield was replaced by the owner. The problem was reported to the manufacturer.
Tailgate would not open.

Windshield wipers stalk control arm works only intermittently. Both wipers and washer fail to operate without turning control on and off a number of times.
Brakes vibrate vehicle when braking hard.
Mirrors perform poorly due to design flaw.
When driving at 40 MPH and without prior warning the vehicle overheated, lost power, and shut down,causing the consumer to pull over to the side of the road and wait to start the vehicle back up. When starting the vehicle I back up, the vehicle overheated again and cut back off. Consumer is also having problems with the windshield wipers, the transmission was replaced at 40,000 miles,the new transmission began to slip because of a blown head gasket and the dealer can not determined the problem's. *ak
On nov. 7, 1998 I was driving south on I-4, just north of orlando fla. I was in the left (fast) lane, doing between 60 and 65 MPH. When the right (door) rear view mirror broke loose of its backing and sailed back into traffic. As it sailed away, it struck the right front door of my mini-van in three places, gouging the paint down to bare metal. I did not see where this mirror (lens) came to rest. I last saw it sailing about 3 or 4 feet above the ground into the path of the vehicles following me. I know that if it hit another vehicle, there would have been substantial damage to the paint, glass, and/or sheet metal of the vehicle it hit.
Transmission/ABS brakes/electric windows, and rear windshield wiper failed. Also, sliding door comes off.
Rearview mirror keeps coming off. Has happened three times. Dealer cannot duplicate the problem, no warranty.
Rear driver side window shattered for no reason while vehicle was parked. The back rear window shattered in a similar fashion approx a year ago.
Transmission blew out, causing the vehicle to stall, almost resulting in an accident. Dealer did a transaxle repair, problem is reoccurring. Dealer cannot determine problem. Also problems with the heater blower motor/ head gaskets/ intake manifold/ ABS system, and rear wiper switch motor.
Power window motor failed.
While driving at 70 MPH on the interstate, the mirror on the passenger's side fell off. On 6/8/98, the mirror on the driver's side fell off while pulling into the driveway. The mirrors are being replaced by dealer at owner's expense.
Possible electrical failure causing ABS, air bag, check engine, and brake light indicators to remain on. Mjs
Sliding door paneling came loose. Also power window/lock and speakers work occasionally on passenger's side.
Head gasket/radiator/thermostat and heater core failed.
Power steering pump failed, fluid is always low and pump whines. In addition, windshield wiper motor and passenger's side defroster malfunctioned.
Consumer noticed vehicle idling a bit rough and jerking on highway. The heater was not working correctly, then consumer noticed the temperature gauge was at the highest temperature possible. Consumer took vehicle to a mechanic who took the engine apart, and saw that the head gasket was faulty, then replaced it. There were other problems due to faulty head gasket which all were repaired.
Fell asleep with right arm resting on heat vent between seats. Got second degree burns on arm
Noise started coming from the left front side of the vehicle. Dealer inspected vehicle and found a stress crack in the rim.
