NHTSA complaint #703673, filed 1999-02“I went to firestone in st. Joe, mo and had my air conditioning recharged after 9 years of driving my van. They told me that I needed to replace a hose on the front of the vechical and that they needed to then add freon to the system. That was in july 19, 2001.

It cost me $304.07. …”

Transmission began slipping during acceleration. After a couple days it quit moving the vehicle completely, as if it were in neutral. …”
