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.

  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 #99V189000July 16, 1999828,559 vehicles affected

  visibility: windshield wiper/washer: linkages

  Vehicle description: minivans. The left hand windshield wiper pivot drive arm was not mechanically staked to the pivot shaft.

  This could allow the drive arm to disengage from the shaft leading to a loss of wiper function. The driver's visibility would be impaired, increasing the risk of a crash.

  Remedy

  Dealers will replace the left hand side windshield wiper pivot assembly.

• 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 #97V148000September 9, 19971,100,000 vehicles affected

  seat belts: front: buckle assembly

  Vehicle description: passenger mini-vans. Covers on the solid stalk mounted seat belt buckles Can become dislodged causing the release button to stick inside the cover. The buckle would then be only partially latched.

  In the event of a vehicle crash, the occupant may not be properly restrained increasing the risk of personal injury.

  Remedy

  Dealers will install a cover retaining clip to the stalk mounted buckle cover to prevent dislocation of the buckle cover.

• NHTSA recall #97V149000September 9, 19971,100,000 vehicles affected

• NHTSA recall #96V099000June 13, 1996321,000 vehicles affected

  service brakes, hydraulic: antilock/traction control/electronic limited slip

  The ABS hydraulic control unit Can experience excessive brake actuator piston seal wear causing pump-motor deterioration.

  If this condition occurs, the ABS function could be lost and reduced power assist would be experienced during vehicle braking increasing the potential for a vehicle accident.

  Remedy

  Dealers will test the vehicle's anti-lock brake system and repair the vehicles if necessary. Also the warranty on all ABS components will be extended to 10 years or 100,000 miles (except for the brake actuator piston assembly and the pump-motor assembly which will have a lifetime coverage). Owners will also be reimbursed for previous ABS component repair costs.
