What owners wrote
On july 22nd I was driving with my 4 young children when very suddenly I almost blacked out. I was able to call 911 and pulled over safely. I was taken to the hospital where blood tests showed nothing obviously contributed to the extreme lightheadedness and disorientation I experienced. On my 3rd trip I had a similar experience and concluded it was my minivan.it was towed to the dealership and a test drive left 3 mechanics with similar effects.they were not able to determine the cause and co2 and freon readings…
I drove my van from work to my house which is around 18 miles. When I got home I could see smoke coming from under the hood. I quickly got out and pulled my baby out of her car seat. Within a few mins the smoke increased by a lot and I called 911. By the time they arrived the van was completely engulfed in flames, it was completely gutted by the time they put out the fire.
