THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM WAS NOT DELINEATED BUT ALL OF THE PROBLEMS WITH THE VAN HAVE BEEN ELECTRICAL IN NATURE. THE AIR CONDITIONING HAS INTERMITTENTLY NOT WORKED AND THE BATTERY SAVING FEATURE OF THE VAN WAS USED CONTINUOUSLY FOR THE FIRST 6 MONTHS OF THE CARS USE. THE VAN HAS BEEN SERVICED 13 TIMES IN THE FIRST YEAR. MOST OF THE WORK HAS BEEN UNDER WARANTEE BUT THE PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN CONSTANT.

Reading this record
No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
