What owners report
Short excerpts of NHTSA complaints in the original wording. These are owner statements not verified by NHTSA; personal data removed.
Vehicle involved in collision and air bags did not deploy. The vehicle was involved in an accident in which the air bags failed to deploy. As a result the driver received head, neck, chest and back injuries. The vehicle also experienced recurring electrical and transmission problems.
While backing out of parking space consumer heard a sound from back end of car. When putting it in drive vehicle accelerated and ran into a wall.
We have informed dealer of problem with van dieng. Have had it worked on or looked at at least 5 times. When mechanics have had it they say that its ok then we get it down the road it dies in traffic . Have made reapirs of at least $500 on it never fixing the problem.
The next thing I knew I was being hit in the face and the steering wheel was jerked out of my hands and then I felt a impact with unknown object and another explosion and the feeling that my right hand was being pushed into the steering wheel.
While driving 25 mph the vehicle had direct frontal impact and both the driver's and passenger's side air bags did not deploy, resulting in two injuries. Cause unknown.
The seat back recliner bolt broke. While driving in a snow storm the driver's seat back collapsed. The consumer was able to maintain control of the vehicle and pulled it onto the side of the road. The vehicel was taken to the deaer who informed the consumer that the repairs were not covered under warranty.
The stalls usually occur upon letting up on the accelerator pedal. It will normally restart immediately, but to continue running the accelerator needs held down to hold the engine a little above idle speed - you have to drive with two feet. No error codes are recorded, so assumed mechanical failure was occuring.
Total transmission failure. Differential pin broke and cracked the bell housing. Failure occurred without warning and less than 5000 miles after regular 90k transmission service. Requires complete transmission replacement at est cost of $3,500. Vehicle has been meticulously maintained with very light duty use.
