Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: This van has been a problem ever since i bought it. this is the 3rd time the brakes have been replaced, the cd player doesn't work any more. the alternator with out at 40,000 miles. the fuses inside keep blowing. the air controller in the back in falling out of the ceiling. i had to leave it with the dealership for over a week so that they could find the hesitation problem it was having when pulling out into traffic. it turned out to be the distributor cable, this was at about 17,000 miles and that was also the miles at the 2nd brakes job. it now makes a noise in the back of the van that sounds like a motorcycle is coming up behind you. i just hope whatever it is it doesn't blow like it sounds like it could. i bought this van because i have a 1 year old and a 4 year old so i really don't want to crash with such precious cargo. thanks, rose ann. *nm
