What owners wrote
I think there must be some electrical malfunction in my van's wiring. I would like to know if other's have reported such trouble. This first started with my turn signals. They would come on by themselves while I was driving. Either the right or left or sometimes both would just start blinking, or nothing would show on the dash column but you could hear the clicking. That was 02/02.
While driving, the front end of the vehicle vibrated. The vehicle would hesitated when accelerated after a complete stop or when slowing. The dealer was unable to remedy the problem. The consumer requested a refund for the vehicle. Other problems are as followed: the vehicle felt as if it was going to stall when idled due to dirty injector(s), there was noise on driver side of the engine, the horn would go off by itself/dealer unable to duplicate, the cover in the rear hatch on the left side did not stay in place…
