I BOUGHT THIS VAN AROUND 2010,THE MILEAGE WAS AROUND 60,000. THE FIRST THING I NOTICED WAS THE LIGHT. I WAS PULLED OUT BY THE POLICE ABOUT MY LIGHT. I WENT STRAIGHT TO AUTO ZONE AND CHANGED IT. I HAVE CHANGED MY BULBS MORE THAN TWENTY TIMES. I GOT WARNINGS. SECONDLY, MY REMOTE CONTROL HAVE BEEN ACTING OUT. I CHANGED THE BATTERY SEVERAL TIMES. IT WILL WORK FOR ONLY FEW HOURS AND STOP. I STARTED LOCKING MY DOORS MANUALLY,ONLY THE PASSENGER DOOR IS LEFT TO CONTROL THE BUTTON. THE WORST EXPERIENCE THAT LED ME TO FILE THIS REPORT IS THE FUEL TANK AND THE STEERING WHEEL. MY VAN HAD STOPPED MORE THAN TWENTY TIMES WITHOUT WARNING,EACH TIME I BOUGHT GAS AND IT WILL START WORKING. THE LAST EXPERIENCE IS STILL FRIGHTENING TO ME. I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AT 55M/HR MY GAUGE WAS SHOWING JUST BELOW HALF TANK,ALL OF A SUDDEN MY VAN ACCELERATED AND SOUND WENT OFF,I IMMEDIATELY MADE A LEFT TURN ON A GREEN LIGHT TO A STREET THAT WENT DOWN THE HILL. I COULD NOT CONTROL MY VAN NO MORE,I TURNED OFF THE KEY AND IT WENT TO A STOPPED WITH A BANG NOISE. FIRE FIGHTERS WERE AROUND THAT AREA,THEY IMMEDIATELY RUSHED TO HELP AND SUGGESTED I BUY GAS WHICH I DID AND MY VAN STARTED WORKING AGAIN.I APPROACHED SOMEBODY USING THE SAME TYPE OF VAN,SHE SAID SHE EXPERIENCED SAME ISSUES SEVERAL TIMES. MY DAUGHTER HAD AN ACCIDENT WITH THIS VAN ONCE,I BEGIN TO WONDER WHAT MIGHT HAVE CAUSED IT ALTHOUGH SHE SAID ANOTHER DRIVER CAUSED IT AND FLED,NOW EVEN IF MY GAS IS SHOWING FULL TANK I WILL MAKE SURE I STILL BUY MORE.I AM SCARED TO GIVE MY VAN TO MY CHILDREN TO DRIVE.I ESCAPED ACCIDENT MORE THAN FOUR TIMES BECAUSE OF THE SAME ISSUE.I DON'T DRINK,NEVER SMOKE, I USE MY VAN MAINLY TO WORK.RECENTLY THE ROD THAT HOLDS THE TIRE DON'T KNOW THE NAME JUST BROKE INTO TWO WITHOUT ANY REASON.I WAS JUST TRYING TO REVERSE AND I NOTICED MY VAN WILL NOT MOVE. CAME DOWN AND I SAW THAT. I JUST REPLACED MY TAIL LIGHT FEW DAYS AGO. *TR

SINCE PURCHASE I HAVE HAD WHAT SEEMS TO BE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH FLICKERING LIGHTS WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT. NOT SURE IF IT IS A VOLTAGE ISSUE OR WHAT. SEVERAL PEOPLE FELT I WAS FLASHING MY LIGHTS THEY FLICKER SO MUCH. BEEN TO DEALER WITH NO CORRECTIVE RESULT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS ONCE A TRUCK I WAS PASSING THOUGHT I WAS LETTING HIM OVER WHEN IN FACT I WAS NOT BUT IT WAS MY LIGHTS JUST FLICKERING DUE TO ACCELERATION. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE VAN PURCHASE IN 2006. HAVE BEEN LIVING WITH THIS PROBLEM SINCE PURCHASE BUT IT MAY BE GETTING WORSE. *TR
