This problem rless than 30 days after purchasing the van, it was supposed to have been fixed at the original dealership 12K ago, but this problem has reocurred. In addition, have had a power window motor go out, blower fan burn up, transmission fluid leaks after being serviced by dealership and lastly a fuel gauge that refuses to work.
