From day 1 of ownership passenger power doors at different times would not open, took to dealership but was told they could not find a problem, can not open doors from inside van, now passenger door driverside will not open even if u try from outside, I was told it needed a motor, which is $800.00 without labor, so we believe it is safety issue, if in accident passengers can't get out of van, at times running down interstate at 70 MPH the buzzer comes on telling us the door is open

I was driving the speed limit when all of sudden my hood flew up, smashed my windshield, thank god I was able to pull over and no one was hurt but, my hood was crunched and my windshield shattered, set up an appt.

On my way home stopped for gas, pulled in behind a man with his young child in a car seat when the van just started to accelerate, I couldn't stop, even holding both feet on the brake peddle, my husband reached over and turned the van off.

However, before she could remove her seat belt, the van lunged forward with such speed, we were both screaming in shock. It smashed thru the garage door lunged with such force tearing down the closet in the back of the garage, running over lawn mower and power tools, and smashing everything in its path. My daughter, who is a professional driver, slammed it into park, and I turned off the key, still in shock. My foot felt like it went thru the floor I was on it with such force. My husband heard the crash (he is nearly deaf)so he rushed to pull me out as I was stunned, my daughter got out, called 911 as she smelled gas. …
