Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Condenser problems.. in hot june - the first day that temperatures were almost 100 degrees we experience our first set of many problem with this van. we had owned vehicle for 2 months and only put 2700 miles on it. we had experience a condenser explosion. we were sitting @ stop light and i heard a pop and steam rolled all around vehicle. had vehicle towed to shop to find out that condenser had a bad spot in it and would be covered by warranty. before it was declared that it was covered under warranty - we keep being threaten by service writer if it's not warranty related that i would owe checkout fees, what it would take to fix it and the complete rental bill. appears that front bumper and condenser design was not thought out. i agree with the other complaints that a grille or a mesh area should cover the large opening. fyi, we were told, by dealership, that most of the vehicles have not been covered under warranty - but ours appeared to have a weak spot in the condenser. *nm
