| Description of the problem | I purchased this van from a one owner elderly couple-at the time of purchase had 47,000 miles on it. Worked great for first 8 months then the problems started. Had to replace spark plugs then coil assembly, then fuel injectors, value exhaust gas, recall of the torque convertor(dealership had my van 3 days shy of 1 month) abs sensor replaced, replaced callopsed pcv hose, water in the computer modele this had to be cleaned out. Van was in and out of the shop 8 of 12 months in the year 2012. I had the van back for not even 2 months and it started running rough and idling high again the engine light blinking. I really need some help with this-because the dealership i have been taken it too cannot seem to get it fixed!!! I have spent way to much money on a vechile that does not work!!! |
