Frontal collision and the vans airbag did not deploy at 55 mph. Tt
Problem checked 2 times by dealer he says its ok van has no heat shields.
The seat belt came apart and I found that it had been pieced together with staples. The conversion company refuses to accept responsibility. After they found out I only had 14,000 miles on the van, that agreed to supply the part, but they will not pay for the labor.
Vehicle continues to stall while driving vehicle due to fuel injection pump failure. Vehicle been in/out dealer shop on numerous times and condition still occurs. Dealer notified and cannot resolve problem.
Consumer has applied the brakes and the abs brakes make a grinding noise. The brakes have been replaced at 14,000 miles, the second time 18,000 miles. Then they grounded the rims at 24,000 miles, changing rotors and pads. Again at 32,000 miles changed rotors and pads.
Ring and pinion gears replaced due to noise from rear of vehicle.
Right side rearview mirror makes objects look further away than they really are, causes difficulty judging when it is safe to change lanes.
