Fuel/Propulsion System · at 83,000 miles · reported Mar 14, 2017

After filling fuel tank, engine would stall while in motion, stopped or at any speed on a road soon after leaving the fuel station. The engine stalling only occurred after a fill up and was not affected by weather conditions, fuel vendor or fuel amount pumped. No engine lights or codes showed up after the incidents. This is a safety hazard especially while driving.

Fuel/Propulsion System · at 96,000 miles · reported Jul 27, 2015

Filled up our van with gas. Left the gas station to cut across oncoming traffic. The lane was clear so I went. As I accelerated the van shuddered and cut off in the middle of traffic!. Lost all power, steering wheel locked up, and the engine cut off. Luckily we were not in a head on collision or were t-boned in the side. My wife and 1 year old were in the car and could have easily been killed. Immediately I went and started doing some research on what happened. Come to find it a lot of people are having this problem with these vans. The problem is a design flaw in the gas system of these vans.…

Exterior Lighting · at 96,000 miles · reported Mar 15, 2015

The map light bulbs made incomplete electrical contact. This caused arching between the contacts on both passenger and driver side map lights. The plastic then melted and resulted in a fire inside the map light assembly (Oem wagoner part no. J5-pc579).

Wheels · at 115,750 miles · reported Oct 2, 2014

Stopped to inflate tires. As I started to remove the left rear tire cap it the stem blew out in my hand. I changed the tire but the additional weight blew out the second stem this time on the left front tire. I shot into the curb. By the time I got it up on the jack the right front tire stem blew and the right rear started to lose air. I had to replace 2 sensors. The right rear had been replaced already.

Engine · at 65,000 miles · reported May 24, 2014

The catalytic converter was replaced so nys inspection could be passed. In may of 2014 I was told that it is bad again & needs a replacement but the shop can't get it because the regulations have changed to use ca standards and the unit us not available. This us resulting in unreasonable expense.
