| Description of the problem | This vehicle is a death trap waiting to happen. The van was going 65 mph down the freeway when all of a sudden all of the electric went off, including the power steering and power brakes. If this is not considered a safety hazard, please let me know what is. I have a family of 5 including my husband and this is our main port of transportation since he was unemployed over two years ago. We are now getting back on our feet but cannot afford to trade this vehicle in. By the looks of the complaints, there are 800 or so more in regards to the electric issue. When is this going to get taken care of? When someone gets killed? We are operating ticking time bombs and it is just a matter of time before someone is seriously injured. I have had several people look at this van and they can't seem to find the problem, however, one person did say it needed an additional ground wire added, and it has helped, but still did not fix the problem as the electric is going in and out. Please have this vehicle recalled before someone is hurt. |
