 Description of the problemI'm a single mom of 4 children and one on the way. I am considered a high risk pregnancy. I bought a minivan from the malloy dealership in manassas a little over a month ago. A couple days after i bought it i took it back up to the dealership because of a problem with hesitation in the van and one of the doors as well as the window. I had also told them about the crack in the windshield and a strap on the backseat that was broken. The comment i received from one of their sales managers was if i wanted a new vehicle i should have bought a new one. I took the van back up there again for hesitation and the man said that he found nothing wrong with the van, they checked the spark plugs. Today i took the van back up there because of the hesitation, miss in the transmission or wherever the problem is coming from. I had went shopping for a trip me and my kids were to be taking in 2 weeks to west virginia, the van kept hesitating, shook and then locked up on me. The steering wheel locked up to where i barely got it off the highway. My kids were screaming and myself and my mother were scared to pieces. I gave these people cash for my vehicle, so i paid it off when i purchased it. I should not have to worry about me and my families safety in my vehicle, but am afraid to take it even 3 miles down the street. They are saying they found nothing wrong with it, but the van kept acting up today all the way home from the dealership. I don't know what else to do about this situation, i even had to replace the windshield that was cracked when i bought the van. I used my money i had received from a settlement from being permanently injured on my job almost 2 years ago. Please is there something you can do to help? I wanted to take my kids on their first vacation ever but am so afraid to drive the van that i just paid over $8000 for that is a piece of junk. I am out my money and the vehicle is unsafe to drive myself and my children around in. The dealership has been no help.
