Description of the problem | This van has been to the dealership at lest 8 times since new. The throttle response is really bad. From stop lights and in slow moving areas driving less then 10mph it will lose almost all throttle control. It will either be full throttle or none. When passing sometimes nothing will happen when you press on the gas. I've had times in town that it will just stick on full throttle as well. Also have a problem with it rolling backwards out of control when in drive we have to all ways have our foot on the breaks. The van once rolled backwards down a hill with my wife and kids in it. My insurance paid for the damage. My wife had it in drive and press the gas to go up the hill and the van would not accelerate it just rolled backwards and damaged the van. She had the gas pedal to the floor and it did nothing. I got the van brand new from the dealership. They tell me it's normal and not to worry about it. It still a problem and i'm stuck with it. |
