| I purchased this van dec 2010. i was coming home from work at 9pm driving on the interstate and the brake pedal went all the way to the floor - no brakes. next day i took to shop and was told all the lines were rusted and needed replaced. i had all new brake lines installed front to back by a repair shop in march 2011. once again, i had the same exact problem today, just over a year- except the lines were not rusted. 08/21/2012 - driving on a state road going about 40 mph coming to a stop light slowing down, suddlenly the brake pedal went all the way to the floor. no brakes. fluid was gushing out by the rear tire. i pulled to gas station and the fluid was leaking/dripping out. the more the brake pedal was pushed the more fluid was forced out. i could have been in an accident even killed. lucky for me it was 1 pm in the afternoon. i moved from indiana 6/1/2011 to florida. the van now has 180,000 miles | |||

| Engine spontaneously started on fire and fire destroyed the entire vehicle. owner just purchased the vehicle 1 week prior to this occuring from a dealership. all of a sudden, there was smoke everywhere while driving on the interstate, and within 3-4 minutes of pulling to the side of the road due to smoke occuring, the entire vehicle was engulfed in flames. the owner is 9 months pregnant, and there were 3 young children also in the vehicle when this occured. fire fighters told the owners that if they had continued to drive the vehicle another 100 feet, the vehicle would have blown up with all occupants still inside. the vehicle/all engine parts are completely destroyed. the pregnant owner suffered severe smoke inhalation and barely escaped fetal death due to severe smoke inhalation. | |||
