While making a turn the vehicle stalls unexpectedly which may cause a crash. Dealer cannot determine the cause of the problem. Also, there is a vibration which may cause more wear and tear on the tire.

When turning corners or going into a driveway, the front end of the van crunches and it feels like it is going to fall out. The ball joints were replaced about a year and a half ago. The problem was reported to the dealership. The dealer claimed there was nothing wrong with the van.
