Example complaints
Transmission and drivetrain: “We have replaced 3 different rear axles/gears. Before replacing we didnt have any problem with backlash. We have had the van looked at & the dealership states they didnt need to look at the van that they had a bulletin stating this was normal backlash & usually found in trucks. We have had one fire with the rear axle burning but now we can tell if the rear axle is blowing. We have spoke to several other owners of these vans & they seem to be having a howling in the engine/ paint burning off the housing unit & they were told this was normal. …”
