What owners wrote
Thick white smoke was coming out of the back of the van - it had a burning smell. People on the highway were moving away from us because of it. We brought it to our mechanic and he said that the tubes that feed antifreeze to the back of the van (to heat the back) were all rotted, and leaked antifreeze all over the exhaust. He said it was a result of "poor manufacturing." the car is a 2002 chrysler town & country and only has 30,000 miles on it. The warranty just ran out 2 months ago.
