#738568January 1, 2001
POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION - WHEN VEHICLE WAS IN "D" IT WOULD SLIP OPERATING IN A NETURAL POSITION WHEN DRIVING ESP WHEN STOPPED. SOMETIMES SHIFTING BACK IN TO "D" POSITION CAUSING VECHILCE TO SUDDEN MOVE FORWARD WITH LITTLE WARNING. OR IF VEHICLE WAS STOP ON AN INCLINE (HILL) THE VECHILCE WOULD ROLL BACK WHICH SOMETIMES CAME CLOSE TO HITTING THE VECHICLE BEHIND. FEELING IS THAT THE TRANMISSION IS FAULTY. COST OF REPAIR WAS $1708.25 TO REPAIR.*AK

VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD, VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER/HVAC SYSTEM
WINDSHIELD HAS A GLARE FROM THE DASH SHOWING DIRECTLY IN YOUR LINE OF SIGHT WHICH MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO SEE OBJECT WHICH ARE BEHIND THE GLARE. THIS IS A REAL PROBLEM THE BRIGHTER THE SUN SHINES THE DARKER THE GLARE. IT ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE YOU ARE LOOKING INTO A MIRROR AND SEE THE REFLECTION OF THE DASH BACK INTO THE WINDSHIELD. THIS VERY WELL COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT . THE SECOND PROBLEM WAS DEFROSTER WOULD NOT KEEP ICE FROM FORMING ON THE INSIDE OF ALL WINDOWS OF THE VAN . WINDOWS APPEARED AS IF NEED TO HAVE ICE SCRAPED OFF BUT ICE WAS ON INSIDE NOT OUTSIDE. THIS DEFINITELY IS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE YOU CAN NOT SEE OUT OF ANY WINDOWS. *AK
