“I had problems from day 1. Battery went dead the very next morning after I brought the van home. I kept recharging it untill it failed completly on a trip to frorida. I figuired out the built in vacuum cleaner had a short. I took it out. The front tires showed excessive wear on outer edges. I kept rotating them. I went to a front end shop for a wheel alignment, they told me the wheel bearings were bad and ball joints were worn, they suggested I go to a chrysler dealer since it was still unde warranty. …”
