NEXT NIGHT VEHICLE WAS BURNING, FLAMES AND SMOKE FROM UNDER THE HOOD. FIRE DEPARTMENT HAD TO CUT OPEN HOOD TO GET TO ENGINE, LEFT SIDE OF ENGINE WAS MELTED. VEHICLE AT DEALERS SINCE THEN. *AK

RECALL 99V216000. AFTER VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED UNDER RECALL 00V268, VEHICLE STARTED TO LEAK FUEL WHEN FILLED. DEALER HAS REPAIRED VEHICLE THREE TIMES, AND PROBLEM STILL EXISTS.*AK THE DEALER REPLACED THE ENTIRE GAS TANK, CONSUMER STATES THAT THE PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE FIXED NOW. *SLC

POWER STEERING WENT OUT WHEN DRIVING THROUGH MUDD PUDDLES AT 40 MPH OR IN CAR WASH. TAKEN TO DEALER, BELT HAD COME OFF. REPAIRED IT, BUT HAD NO ANSWER WHY IT HAPPENED. THIS HAS HAPPENED LOTS OF TIMES. ALSO, WINDSHIELD WIPERS CAME ON WHILE DRIVING, SWITCH HAS BEEN REPLACED 5 TIMES. *AK THE MAIN BELT FAILED. THE WATER PUMP FAILED. THE TRANSMISSION WAS LEAKING. THE A/C COMPRESSOR WENT OUT BURNING ON FREEWAY. *YH

CONSUMER NOTICES AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON WHEN THE VEHICLE IS LEFT PARKED IN THE SUN, CONSUMER IS DEMANDING THAT AN ENGINEER EVALUATE WHAT IS CAUSING THE LIGHT TO COME ON. *SLC

WINDSHIELD WIPERS TURN ON BY THEMSELVES ESPECIALLY AFTER TURNS; WIPERS SOMETIMES DON'T TURN ON; DEALER REPLACED WIPER/TURN SIGNAL BUT PROBLEM STILL EXISTS.*AK

THE SERVICE MAN (MAC) AT THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE VAN WAS REPAIRED TOLD US THE REASON FOR THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMING ON FOR NO REASON WAS BECAUSE OF A BAD CLOCK SPRING. HE SAID THAT THIS COULD CAUSE THE AIRBAG TO POSSIBLY NOT DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT AND/OR EVEN DEPLOY WHEN YOU'RE JUST DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. OUR THOUGHTS IMMEDIATELY WERE SAFETY RELATED AND CONTACTED DAIMLERCHRYSLER WHO SENT ME AN EMAIL TELLING ME THE RECALL PROCESS. THEY ALSO AGREED TO PAY FOR THE PART ONLY, WE PAID FOR LABOR. WE WERE WONDERING HOW A PART COULD GO BAD THAT WAS NEVER USED?*AK

EVEN THOUGH VAN HAS BEEN SERVICED UNDER RECALL # 99V216000 TWICE ON 2/21/00 & 2/25/00, THERE IS STILL A STRONG ODOR OF GAS FUMES INSIDE VAN WHEN FUEL IS PUT INTO TANK. ODOR LASTS FOR ABOUT 1/2 HOUR.*AK DEALER STATED THAT DURING FUELING, GAS FUMES GET UNDER THE VEHICLE WHICH IS NORMAL. THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS COME ON WHEN TURN SIGNALS ARE TURNED ON AND SOMETIMES WHILE DRIVING OVER BUMPS, THE WINDSHIELD IS SCRATCHED BECAUSE OF THIS, THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER 4 TIMES. *SLC
