STRUCTURE:BODY
HAVE HANDICAPPED VAN, A VMI NORTHSTAR CONVERSION .IMMEDIATELY VAN WOULD SHUT OFF WHILE STILL MOVING. BATTERY WAS DEAD IN AM 16HRS AFTER FULLY CHARGED BATTERY.3 BATTERY ALL DIE-BATTERY DISCONNECT USED STOP ABNORMALLY HIGH DRAINAGE . MANY BIZARRE ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTIONS, BATTERY DRAIN NEVER FOUND AFTER TRUELY ADMIRABLE EFFORT. RUST RUST RUST -SAND BLAST ANTIRUST-MORE RUST RUST RUST TO FRAME-TOLD BATTERY AND MALFUNCTIONS DUE TO A SHORT SOMEWHERE. ANYWAY RUST RUST SOME MORE.VMI ADMITS RUST VERY UNUSUAL SO MUCH SO QUICKLY.BUT SAYS NO LONGER RESPONSIBLE DUE TO SETTLEMENT BEFORE FOR RUST RUST AND MALFUNCTIONS.THOUGHT REPLACMENT VEHICLE WAS OUTCOME ,NOT 11K FOR ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTIONS AND RUST-TOLD NO MORE ABNORMAL RUST ANYMORE BUT MORE RUST ANYWAY. GOOGLED "CONSTANT ELECTRICAL DISCHARGE" AND "RUST" AND GALVANIC CORRUSION MAIN RESULTS. NO LOCAL COLISION PLACE WILL "FIX IT" DUE TO LIABILITY WHEN BRAND NEW STEEL IS NO MORE RUST PROOF THAN MANUFACTUERS. ONLY VEHICLE USE POWERCHAIR SAYS RUSTED FRAME MAY DROP ME. DISTRICT MANAGER SAID RUSTS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN BUT I SIGNED RELEASE AFTER RUST TREATMENT-SORRY HE REALLY WAS BUT NO MORE LIABILITY FOR ABNORMAL RUST ADVISED NOT TO USE VEHICLE .SO THIS IS FOR OTHERS-THE VMI CONVERSION NICE IF FUNCTIONAL, MAYBE RUST FROM VMI CONVERSION PROCESS AS VEHICLE ENTIRE FRAME IS REPLACED BY VMI. HOPEFULLY JUST A LEMON BUT ITS VERY SERIOUS LIFETHREATENING AND VERY REAL, THE RUST MAKES SOLID STEEL SEAPARATE LIKE CHEESE SLICES. ELECTRICAL DRAIN CAUSE AND RUST CAUSE UNKNOWN DESPITE OVER 100 HRS OF WORK BY VMI ENGINEERS AND LOCAL VMI DEALER. WOULD BUY A HONDA OR TOYODA AND VERY BASIC MANUAL CONVERSION. IF ABLE GET SEAT COMES OUT AND JUST STRUGGLE TO GET IN. THE FANCY CONVERSION NOT WORTTH IT BETWEEN SO MANY UNKNOWNS. I COULDN'T CARE LESS ABOUT PRIVACY .ITS SAFETY FOR OTHERS .

TIRES, TIRES:TREAD/BELT
IN REGARDS TO COOPER TIRES THE MANUFACTURER INFO AND DOT NUMBER TO FOLLOW. I HAVE HAD TWO TIRES WITH FAILURE TO THE RADIAL BELT SHIFT. ONE TIRE BLEW OUT ON A TRIP TO TEXAS, I DO NOT HAVE IT, BUT THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER SAID IT HAD A "BULGE" AND FAILED. UNDER STRESSFUL CONDITIONS ON A HIGHWAY I DID NOT TAKE A PICTURE. THE SECOND TIRE FAILED LOCALLY AND I HAVE KEPT THE TIRE AND CAN SEND A PIC AND ALSO HAVE A STATEMENT ON THE RECEIPT FROM WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE THAT HAD PUT THE TIRES ON SAYING IT WAS A "BELT SHIFT" THERE IS A PROMINENT "BULGE" IN THE TIRE. I HAD ORIGINALLY CONTACTED COOPER TIRES JULIE CALL REF # 23-167554 ON 9/23/20 11:02 AM, REGARDING THE DEFECTIVE TIRES AND THEY DENIED KNOWLEDGE OR RESPONSIBILITY AND TOLD ME TO TAKE THE VEHICLE BACK TO WHERE I BOUGHT IT WHICH WAS NISSAN AUTO NATION BECAUSE THEY WERE UNDER WARRANTY. AUTO NATION PAMELA CARTER SAID ON 9/24/20 THEY THAT THEY WILL NOT HONOR THE WARRANTY DUE TO THE FACT THEY PURCHASED THE TIRES AND I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AFTER THE TIRES WERE INSTALLED SO I WAS NOT THE PURCHASER. THEY DO ADMIT THE TIRE WAS DEFECTIVE, WHICH I HAVE IN WRITING ON INVOICE 1236567. I LOOKED ONLINE FOR THE DOT NUMBER FOR RECALL AND IT IS LISTED ONLINE BUT THE MANUFACTURER AS BRIDGESTONE, WHICH IS POSSIBLY A TYPOGRAPHICAL ERROR. HERE IS THE INFO: DOT U94C 1CW 0715 COOPER M+S 235/60R16 GRAND TOURING

TIRES, TIRES:TREAD/BELT
IN REGARDS TO COOPER TIRES THE MANUFACTURER INFO AND DOT NUMBER TO FOLLOW. I HAVE HAD TWO TIRES WITH FAILURE TO THE RADIAL BELT. ON 8/4/19 I WAS ON MY WAY TO FT. WORTH TEXAS WHEN I THE FRONT LEFT TIRE ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE STARTED THUMPING. I WAS ON HWY 10 IN EAST TEXAS NEAR CANTON AND IN A CONSTRUCTION ZONE THERE WAS NO WHERE TO PULL OVER SO I CONTINUED DRIVING SLOWLY WHICH WAS VERY STRESSFUL. THE TIRE DID BLOW BUT I WAS ABLE TO GET OFF AT A REST AREA (THANK YOU JESUS). I CALLED AAA AND THEY SENT A FAMILY OWNED TOW TRUCK SERVICE OUT. THE MAN SAID I HAD A BULGE IN THE WHAT REMAINED AND TOWED MY VAN TO A WALMART 13 MILES AWAY IN CANTON, I OWED HIM AT THAT POINT $27 OUT OF POCKET FOR THE TOW. HE THEN DROVE ME TO A PET FRIENDLY BEST WESTERN BECAUSE I HAD MY DOG WITH ME. I SPENT APPOX. $120 FOR THE ROOM, PLUS MEAL OF APPROX. $21. THE NEXT DAY I GOT A RIDE FROM AN EMPLOYEE AT THE HOTEL TO WALMART, PAID $128.66 FOR A NEW TIRE, THEN LATER THAT WEEK BALANCING OF $40 AT DISCOUNT TIRE IN DALLAS, TX. BECAUSE WALMART COULD NOT BALANCE THE NEW TIRE DUE TO EQUIPMENT BEING BROKEN. I HAD ANOTHER TIRE GO BAD, WITH TREAD SHIFT A YEAR LATER IN ANOTHER CLAIM FILED WITH YOU. THE REMAINING TWO TIRES I LEFT AT WALMART, AFTER PURCHASING FOUR NEW MATCHING GOODYEAR I SPENT $312.66 ON 9/26/20. AFTER THE SECOND TIRE WENT BAD I CONTACTED JULIE AT COOPER CALL REF# 23-167554 AND WAS TOLD THE TIRES WERE UNDER WARRANTY AND TO RETURN THEM TO WHERE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE WITH THE NEW COOPER'S ON IT WHICH WAS IN 2018. I DID AND WAS TOLD BY PAMELA CARTER THAT THEY WOULD NOT HONOR THE WARRANTY BECAUSE AUTO NATION ORIGINALLY BOUGHT THE TIRES, BUT DID ADMIT THAT THE TIRE WAS DEFECTIVE. ALL FILED ON A SEPARATE INCIDENT REPORT WITH NHTSA #11362968. IN CONCLUSION, TTWO BAD COOPER TIRES, THE REMAINING TWO I GAVE TO WALMART AS I AM CONCERNED THAT THEY WILL ALSO BLOW OUT. IT IS MY HOPE THAT YOU WILL RECALL THESE TIRES BEFORE SOMEONE IS INJURED OR DIES: DOT U94C 1CW 0715 COOPER M+S 235/60R16 GRAND TOURING

I WENT TO UNLOCK MY VEHICLE TO GET SOMETHING FROM INSIDE. I NOTICED THAT THE LIGHTS WERE VERY DIM AND AFTER PLACING THE KEY FOB INTO THE IGNITION, THE FOB WAS LOCKED IN PLACE. AFTER ABOUT 15 MINUTES, I WAS ABLE TO RELEASE IT FROM THE IGNITION. I HAVE TRIED RESETTING THE BATTERY AMONG OTHER THINGS AND NOTHING HAS HELPED.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE VEHICLE EITHER WILL TAKE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO START OR WILL COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN DURING OPERATION WITHOUT WARNING. THE ENGINE WILL ABRUPTLY STALL AND POWER BRAKES AND STEERING FAIL. IMMEDIATELY AFTERWARD THE VEHICLE BEHAVES AS IF THE KEY WAS JUST TURNED TO THE ON POSITION, MEANING THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS UP, AND IT CAN BE PUT IN NEUTRAL AND RESTARTED. NO SPECIFIC ACTIVITY TRIGGERS THE SHUTDOWN. IT CAN HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED IN ANY CONDITIONS OR WHILE IDLING.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I GOT AN OIL CHANGE AND AN INSPECTION THE INSPECTION REPORT WAS GOOD, NO MAJOR MECHANICAL ISSUES. ONLY RECOMMENDATION WAS A POWER STEERING FLUSH NEXT TIME I CAME IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE. I DROVE THE VAN HOME 1/2 MILE AWAY. I PARKED THE VAN. I SAW LIGHT SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. IT SMELLED LIKE BURNT RUBBER. I PROCEEDED TO DRIVE BACK TO SHOP 1/4 MILE AWAY. THE VAN LOST ALL POWER AT A STOP SIGN. I SAW MORE DARKER SMOKE COMING OUT. I GOT OUT OF THE VAN IMMEDIATELY. WITHIN 2 MINUTES THE VANS FRONT END WAS IN FLAMES.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I WAS DRIVING FINE WITH THE KIDS AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN I FEEL LIKE MY VAN WANTS TO SHUT DOWN ON ME WHILE DRIVING. WENT TO THE PARK ONE DAY AND WHEN CAME BACK WITH THE KIDS THE CAR WOULD NOT START... I FINALLY( AFTER SEVERAL TRIES) GET IT TO START AND GOT HOME SAFE, THANKFULLY. THE NEXT DAY I GO GROCERY SHOPPING AND CAME BACK, THE VAN WOULD NOT START! NOW, I'M FRUSTRATED WITH THE KIDS AND GROCERIES OUT IN THE HOT WEATHER. FINALLY GET IT TO START AND DROVE HOME HOPING TO GET THERE SAFE. FRUSTRATED THINKING CANNOT AFFORD A MECHANIC AT THIS TIME AS I RECENTLY REPLACED THE WATER PUMP AND THAT WASN'T CHEAP. GOT HOME! AND THE NEXT DAY IT WOULD NOT START CALLED ASSISTANCE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT'S WRONG AND EXPLAINED THAT IT WASN'T THE BATTERY NOR THE ALTERNATOR, THERE'S NO CODE AND THAT IT WAS POSSIBLY THE TIPM AND THAT WAS GOING TO BE ABOUT A $1,200 IF NOT MORE TO REPLACE. EXPLAINED THAT GRAND CHEROKEE AND OTHER DODGE CAR HAD RECALLED IT BUT NOT THE DODGE GRAN CARAVAN

TOOK MY 2012 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN TO THE TEMPE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE RECALLS FIXED. SOON AFTER THEY DID THE RECALLS MY CAR WOULD NOT DRIVE OFF THE LOT THEY TOLD ME THAT THE FUEL PUMP WAS BAD AND IT WOULD COST $806 TO FIX IT. SO I TOLD THEM LETS DO IT. I GET A CALL AN THE SAID ITS THE TIPM ! $1400 DOLLARS LATER MY CAR IS STILL RUNNING PRETTY ROUGH AND NOT GETTING POWER AND COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING. SO I CALL THE DEALER AND THEY TOW IT IN TO TELL ME IT IS MY FUEL PUMP. SO $800 THEY SAID ITS FIXED AND I SHOULD HAVE NOTHING GOING WRONG. 3 DAYS LATER MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND A CODE P0456 EVAC LEAK! SO I CALL THE DEALER AND LET THEM KNOW . I THEN PURCHASED A GAS CAP JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT WAS NOT THE PROBLEM. LIGHT STAYED ON. SO I GET THE VAN TO THE DEALER AND THEY HAD MY VAN ALLDAY TO SAY ITS MY GAS CAP . LET ME REMIND YOU I JUST PURCHASED ONE. SO THEY GET THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO GO OFF AND NOW EVERYTIME I FILL THE TANK UP GAS FUMES ARE SOO STRONG IN THE VEHICLE AND IS RUNNING VERY POORLY. HONESTLY IM SCARED TO HAVE THEM LOOK AT IT . I JUST WANT MY VAN SAFE I HAVE KIDS . ITS MY ONLY VEHICLE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I HAVE A 2012 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN THE SLIDING DOOR HAS BEEN MAKING A BUZZING SOUND EVERY TIME YOU UNLOCK AND LOCK THE DOORS. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE 2016 AND THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME IT WOULD BE $500 TO FIX IT. I AM NOW HAVING ISSUES WITH TRUNK OPENING AND CLOSING ON IT'S OWN; EVEN WHEN IT IS LOCKED. NOT SAFE AT ALL AND ALREADY GOT STORMED INSIDE OF MY VAN; CAUSE I DIDN'T REALIZE IT WAS OPENED. THEY TOLD ME I WOULD HAVE TO PAY THE FEE TO GET IT LOOKED AT AND THEN PAY FOR THE REPAIRS. I HAD A NEW TRANSMISSION PUT IN AT 74,330 MILES AFTER THEY TOLD ME WHEN I LEFT THE FIRST TIME; THAT IT WAS A COMPUTER RESET THAT NEEDED DONE. THEN, THEY HAD MY VAN FOR 2 WEEKS TRYING TO GET THE TRANSMISSION BUILT. AND MY TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING AGAIN. AT 139,466 MILES I HAD ALL OF MY TRANSMISSIONS LINES LEAKING AND HAD REPLACE ALL OF THEM FOR ANOTHER $500; CAUSE THERE WAS NO WARRANTY FROM THEM DOING MY SECOND TRANSMISSION. MY CD PLAYER EATS MY CD'S NOW AND MY AC QUIT WORKING. ALL IN ALL I DO LOVE MY VAN, BUT I AM GETTING VERY ANGRY AT ALL THE ISSUES; THAT SHOULD COVERED UNDER A RECALL AND THEY ARE NOT COVERED. IF ANYONE COULD PLEASE GIVE ME SOME IN SITE ON THESE ISSUES; I WOULD APPRECIATE IT. I AM NOT IN THE POSITION TO PURCHASE ANOTHER CAR AT THIS TIME WITH JOBS NOT VERY SECURE. I AM NOT EVEN ABLE TO TAKE MY VAN MANY PLACES; CAUSE I NEVER KNOW WHEN THE TRUCK WILL OPEN ON ITS OWN AND THEN SOMEONE CAN JUST STEAL MY VAN. I LISTED THE LAST DAY OF ALL OF MY ISSUES BELOW, BUT THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR YEARS AND STILL NOT RESOLVED.
