Complaint history

When NHTSA received these reports. Changes in reporting alone do not establish a change in failure rates.

Problems owners report

Listed groups have at least 3 complaints. The page includes the 20 largest groups plus any additional flagged groups; some complaints are not assigned to a group.

AI groups complaints by meaning; the groups are approximate. Share ratio compares the problem’s share of this vehicle’s complaints with its share on other vehicles over the last 24 months (shown from 3 recent complaints). A 2× ratio means twice the complaint share, not twice the failure risk. Flags mark unusual shares or recent surges after an AI review of the complaint content. “First signal” does not mean the pattern has persisted continuously.How recall estimates are calculated.

Recalls

• NHTSA recall #00V305000October 12, 2000679,000 vehicles affected

  steering: steering wheel/handle bar

  Vehicle description: mini vans equipped with 2-SPOKE luxury wheels manufactured july 1992 through june 1993; or equipped with 4-SPOKE sport wheels manufactured from july 1992 through september 1993. The steering wheel armature stamping Can crack And separate from the center hub attachment to the steering column.

  If the steering wheel separates from the center hub attachment to the steering column, loss of control Can occur increasing the risk of an accident.

  Remedy

  Dealers will inspect the steering wheel for cracks And any wheels with cracks will be replaced. All other vehicles will have a reinforcement plate installed to prevent steering wheel separation in the event cracking occurs.

• NHTSA recall #99V213000September 2, 19991,318,189 vehicles affected

  structure: body: hatchback/liftgate: hinge and attachments

  Vehicle description: mini vans. The bolts used to attach the strut to the body And the rear liftgate Can accumulate fatigue damage if three factors combine. If the bolt is loose, the gas strut is over-pressurized, And the frequency of opening And closing cycles is higher than for the average customer, the bolt Can fail.

  Personal injury could occur if the bolts break allowing the liftgate to fall suddenly.

  Remedy

  Dealers will inspect for loose fasteners, if the fasteners are loose, the strut (And integral bolts) will be replaced. If the bolt shows evidence of torque, the bolt will be removed, larger washers will replace the existing washer And the bolt will be reinstalled And hand tightened to the target torqued.

• NHTSA recall #99V113000May 6, 1999736,824 vehicles affected

  air bags

  Vehicle description: mini vans. The wiring that initiates the driver And/or passenger air bag could electrically short circuit to ground. A short circuit to ground that exists immediately after turning the ignition key to the "on" or "start" position Can cause the air bag(s) to inadvertently deploy.

  Inadvertent air bag deployment Can injure a front seat occupant.

  Remedy

  Dealers will perform an electronic diagnostic check. Any short circuits identified in either the driver's or passenger side air bag initiator wire circuit will be repaired.

• NHTSA recall #93V215000December 14, 199390 vehicles affected

  wheels: lugs/nuts/bolts/studs

  Wheels with misformed lug nut seats were installed on these vehicles. This causes reduced nut to wheel contact area And limits the wheel self-centering capability during installation. This results in loss of wheel lug nut torque retention.

  Loss of lug nut torque retention may lead to wheel lugfailure which may cause wheel separation And an accident.

  Remedy

  Inspect the wheel assembly plant code; replace wheels known to have the problem And install new lug nuts.
