What this page shows
Everything below is an owner-reported complaint submitted to NHTSA about the 2005 Accubuilt Van, grouped by the component NHTSA recorded on the report. These are not confirmed defects, and they are not recalls. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a category with more reports in it is not evidence that a part is defective.
Complaints are reports submitted by owners and drivers to NHTSA. They are not verified and do not establish that a defect exists.

From owner reports, verbatim
DT: IN JUNE 2005 THE OWNER NOTICED THAT VEHICLE WAS LEANING TO THE LEFT SIDE. LAST WEEK THAT THE WHEELS WERE RUBBING AGAINST THE WHEEL WELLS ON BOTH SIDES. ALL TIRES WERE RUBBING. THE OWNER DID NOT WISH TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE TIRES, JUST ABOUT THE VEHICLE. THE OWNER TRIED TO SPEAK WITH THE PLACE HE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, BUT THEY WON'T SEE HIM ANYMORE BECAUSE THEY CLAIMED THESE PROBLEMS WERE IN HIS HEAD. THE VEHICLE CAME WITH A 2000 POUND JACK, AND THEN THE DEALERSHIP CHANGED IT TO A DIFFERENT JACK WITH A LIMIT OF 1000 POUNDS. THIS DEALERSHIP REPAIRED THE TONGUE JACK IN APRIL. THE OWNER ARGUED WITH THE DEALERSHIP, WHO SAID THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT UNBALANCED.. THE OWNER CALLED THE MANUFACTURER, AND WAS WAITING TO HEAR FROM THEM. ANOTHER MANUFACTURER HAD TO BE CHOSEN BECAUSE THERE WERE NO LISTINGS FOR SUNRAY. *AK

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
