What owners wrote
A few complaints as filed, shortened and with personal details removed. The first ones are among the most serious reports for this model year; the rest are typical.
Driver's side rear tire failed, blow out occurred, van rolled 4 times. (tiresize: p205/70ri5)( DOT number: tire size: p205/70ri5 )
While driving down road looked ahead at traffic, had stopped, applied brakes but vehicle began to slow down, but did not stop. It never came to a complete stop. Brakes and steering locked and consumer hit auto in front of her, causing 3 persons and herself to be injured and taken to hospital.
I was making a slow 90 degree turn to the right onto a driveway which was approximately 12" lower than the road I was on. As my right wheel dropped off onto the driveway, we heard a sharp cracking noise. Shortly thereafter, I noticed that the steering was stiff when turning to the right. It was the next day , sunday when as I turned to the right, we lost all our power steering fluid with a gush as the power steering pump blew its front main seal due to over pressuring from the broken rack and pinion.
Experienced hard brake pedal (lose of braking) and brake / ABS lights illuminated on the dash board. This was the second failure in the last two years after approximately 14,000 miles of operation since the last repair and for at least the fourth time since we have owned this vehicle (bought new). Previous repair involved replacement of brake accumulator, dual pressure switch, brake actuator piston assembly, and the pump motor assembly, the last two of which are subject to a lifetime recall.
