Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: A/c heat - air conditioning / heat unit in rear of van failed in 2001. have not attempted to have it repaired to date. a/c and heat is ok front. body - passenger automatic sliding door. rattled almost from the day we bought the car. it also at times would not closed (in park). it would close automatically until it touched the car body then would re-open. they replaced the power sliding door unlatch actuator under a recall. engine - starting at 48,000 miles the check engine light would start to blink when driving, immediately the van would start to run very roughly and have poor acceleration. light would then stop blinking and stay "on". then over a period of about an hour running time would turn off. this would happen every other month or so for a day. eventually -we were told it was the fuel injectors (at 56,000 miles). we replaced those 2000 miles ago and the same problem just appeared again today (july 31, 2003) august update: had coolant loss - it was the gasket which had to be replaced at about $750.. most of it labor to get to the darned thing.
