What owners say
Consumer disappointed in some of the problems he had with the chassis and other auxiliary systems. (nar) *ph transmission, engine, AC/ heater, gas gauge, windshield wiper motor, electric window.
While driving the vehicle at night on a back road I was crossing over a railroad track and the vehicle cut out. I was able to drift over the tracks to the side of the road with my 2 children in the vehicle. The gas gauge read that the vehicle had a quarter of a tank of gas, when in fact the tank was empty. The gas gauge has not worked ever since.
While traveling and without any indication vehicle ran out of gas, but gas gauge was reading gas in tank as full. Dealer was contacted. Please provide further information.
This problem rless than 30 days after purchasing the van, it was supposed to have been fixed at the original dealership 12k ago, but this problem has reocurred. In addition, have had a power window motor go out, blower fan burn up, transmission fluid leaks after being serviced by dealership and lastly a fuel gauge that refuses to work.
Gas gauge fails to register the correct amoun tof fuel in fuel tank while driving. Vehicle stops when fuel gauge still registers fuel.
All the gauges do not work due to electrical problems. Dealer cannot determine the cause of the problem. Previously, dealer replaced gas gauge. Also, transmissin malfunctioned.
