| Description of the problem | The crosswind assist is not working. Because of the high profile on this van, it becomes very dangerous in windy conditions. We almost got blown out of the freeway because of this feature not working on our 2017 van. I took it to the dealer and they can not duplicate the issue. Of course not, we live in fresno where only gets windy once a year. |
