HAD PROBLEMS WITH MY 86 VAN, MORE WITH THE 93 VAN AND EXPECTING MORE WITH MY 98 VAN I MUST BE NUTS TO HAVE PURCHASED THE 98 VAN. THE ABS BRAKES IN 1993 VAN FAILED AND I WAS ABLE TO STOP BEFORE I RAN THE LIGHT, A FEW DAYS LATER THEY CAME BACK ON OUT OF NOWHERE. I DO NOT FEEL I SHOULD BE DRIVING A CAR THAT I CAN NOT TRUST THE BRAKES.*AK

EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:AIR CONDITIONER
AIR CONDITIONER WON'T WORK, HAVE TALKED TO MANY PEOPLE WITH CARAVANS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. ALSO, HAVE SEEN A LARGE NUMBER OF VEHICLES WITH THE PAINT CHIPPING. THE PREVIOUS OWNER TOLD US AT THE TIME THAT WE PURCHASED THAT THERE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE SOME TYPE OF RECOURSE ON THE PAINT ON THE CARAVAN. I HAVE ONLY SEEN THIS PROBLEM ON THE 1993'S AND EARLIER MODELS. WE OWN A 1994, SAME COLOR, DRIFTWOOD, AND HAVE HAD NO PROBLEMS WHATSOEVER WITH AIR OR PAINT.
