What owners say
Brakes squeal - very loudly. I have replaced the front rotors and pads. The rear shoes are brand new. The van has been in the shop on several occasions but they can't figure out what is wrong. The fact that the squeal cannot be made to go away leads me to believe that there is a design flaw. Please advise if you have heard of a fix or a recall.
I have gone to the dealership 3 times and thay tell me it will be about 350.00 to look at this and that still may not fix it. The doors just lock by themselves at any random time leaving you locked in or out. Sometimes I must use 2 hand to get out one pushing the lock button open while pulling the door handle while the locking mechamism grinds away.
Electrical:numerous problems with door locks activation/windshield sprayer front and rear inoperative/interior lighting controls for ventilation inop., radio&cd player operation intermittent at all times and replaced radio but still had problems getting power to the unit on a regular basis; hydraulic brakes: front brake calipers not functioning fully/rear brakes make grinding noises. Exhaust system: check engine light at different intervals due to broken hose between egr valve assembly and intake manifold/o2 sensor replaced due to trouble codes.
While driving at any speed applied brakes, and heard grinding noise coming from brakes, and vehicle won't stop. Also, pedal will go all the way to floor, and brakes will pulsate.
Brakes make unnecessary grinding & squeaking noise whenever brakes are applied. Vehicle been in/out of dealer shop and was told that manufacturer was aware of this problem, but condition was not resolved.
