Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“At any stop where the road is on a slight incline, the van will begin to roll backwards when the brake is released. Accordingly, you have to have your foot on the brake and gas at the same time to avoid a rollback at a stop light. Accordingly, an accident can occur if the car rolls back or too much gas is given while the break is being depressed. Gm dealer said this is normal for this model. My ford winstar does not do this on the same hills.”
NHTSA complaint #743590, filed 2001-04“The 2 outer tie rods, reported of a lot of noise in the front end from 5k to 23k+ miles. Consumer/mechanic thought that this noise could be from a loose bumper, therefore clips were added, but the rattle noise is still there.”
NHTSA complaint #567458, filed 2002-09“Have had various problems with passenger automatic sliding door. Has been in shop 4 or more times for door alone. Problems have included door not wanting to close all of the way, closing and reopening constantly for minutes at a time, and door closing on people. If anything obstructs power sliding door while it is closing it is suppose to automatically reverse to open position. On many occasions it will continue to close on a grown adult. Transmission has many problems with it. Our transmission has been replaced yet problems still occuring. The various problems are not consistent. …”
