I TOOK MY CAR TO GET IT SMOG TESTED AND THE GUY TOLD ME IT WASN'T GOING TO PASS BECAUSE HE SHOWED ME WHERE THE FUEL RAIL WAS LEAKING GAS AND TOLD ME TO GET IT FIXED AND BRING IT BACK. I KNOW THERE WAS A RECALL FROM 1996 AND UP BUT WHAT ABOUT MY VAN. I DROVE MY VAN AND IT STARTED SMOKING SO I HAD TO CALL A TOW TRUCK AND HAVE IT TOWED HOME SO IT DIDN'T CATCH FIRE.

I HAVE HAD TWO PROBLEMS WITH THE DOOR LATCHES. THE FIRST PROBLEM WAS WITH THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR. THE PLASTIC COATING WORE OFF THE LATCH AND CAUSED IT TO STICK IN THE OPEN POSITION, THEREFORE NOT ALLOWING THE DOOR TO CLOSE. OCCASIONALLY THE DOOR WOULD CLOSE AND THEN GET STUCK IN THE CLOSED POSITION. I FINALLY HAD TO HAVE THE LATCH REPLACED AND I HAVE HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH THAT LATCH SINCE. NOW, 8 MONTHS LATER, THE SIDE SLIDING DOOR HAS THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. THE DOOR WILL APPEAR TO BE FULLY CLOSED AND THEN FLY OPEN WHILE DRIVING. OTHER TIMES IT WILL NOT OPEN. I WILL BE REPLACING THIS LATCH SOON AND I AM JUST WAITING FOR THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE LATCH TO FAIL. I HAVE SPOKE TO NUMEROUS PEOPLE AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A PATTERN WITH THIS VEHICLE. *TR
TRANSMISSION STARTED SHIFTING REALLY ROUGH AROUND 116,000. PREVIOUS OWNER REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION. WHEN THEY SOLD IT TO US AT AROUND 150,000, THE TRANSMISSION STARTED SHIFTING HARD AGAIN. NOW AT 169,000 IT SHIFTS BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN 2ND AND 3RD GEARS AND IS VERY ROUGH. WHEN SHIFTING INTO REVERSE, IT CLUNKS. THIS IS AFTER WE EVEN TOOK IT IN AND HAD TRANSMISSION FIXED. NO GOOD. *TR

SMELLED FUEL, OPENED HOOD TO FIND FUEL DRIPPING FROM THE FUEL INJECTOR RAIL.
