Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Since purchasing nearly 2 yrs ago from a local dealership, it has had numerous minor issues and some dangerous problems as well. My main concern is that the drivers side automatic sliding door doesn't function properly. We had the van looked at by a mechanic from the dealership and he was unable to remedy the problems with the door. The slider door opens randomly, won't shut, or just keeps opening and shutting for no particular reason. We've tried turning the switch off on the console, which for the most part keeps the door shut~ but then that door is unusable. …”
NHTSA complaint #10373776, filed 2011-01, 64,000 miles“Trim strips on both sides of van were rusting even though they were plastic. Was told that this was a known problem, there should be service bulletin on it, and that the paint surface was not cleaned properly before painting it, therefore iron/rust was bleeding through. This happened only on the trim strips on the front doors, no where else on van. Strips were replaced since still under warranty and no problems yet after 2 months.”
NHTSA complaint #10167058, filed 2006-08, 25,000 miles“Power sliding doors require a lot of force to stop and reverse the direction. I am very concerned for my children exiting the van. Dealership states that this is normal for this van because as the vehicle ages it requires more force to close.”
NHTSA complaint #10122352, filed 2005-05“Window sticker indicated that my vehicle contained stabilitrak electronic stability control. Received letter 3 months after purchase indicating that they did not install the system. Dealer has verified system is not installed.”
NHTSA complaint #10149240, filed 2006-02“Whistling noise from the front end of the van. The problem has occurred since we purchased the van. The windshield seal, door seal, and passenger side mirror have been replaced but the problem still persists.”
