Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I have had three issues with my minivan. i have had a rotten egg smell for the longest time and was told to change the type of gas i used. after further persistence with the dealer, i was told that they are having problems with the catalytic converters and they are now finally replacing them after 5 trips to the dealer complaining. second, there was a computer sensor failure which caused the van to overheat...i had to be towed to the dealer and get a new sensor and temperature gauge. third, i have been complaining about hesitation in the transmission on turns and when slowing down and then accelerating. this is still unresolved. i would also like to state that the stearing column gear shift is extremely annoying and i have on more than one occasion hit the vehicle out of gear.*ak
