WENT OUT STARTED CAR & WAS GOING TO GO TOWN WHEN TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON WITH ENGINE LIGHT. THEN WERE ITS TELLS U HOW MANY MILES ARE ON VEHICLE IT SAID REDUCE ENGINE. *TR POWER SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM. ALSO VEHICLE HAS CUT OFF 3 TIMES & WAS GOING INTO DISABLED MODE. HAVE HAD CODES CHECK THERE IS 5 VOLT REFERENCE PROBLEM. PLUS SEVERAL OTHER CODES. OIL PRESSURE WHEN PUT ON CODE TESTER IS 143. WHICH IS HIGH. NOT SURE WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE.

AS I TOOK OFF FROM A STOP LIGHT, THE VAN JERKED SO HARD , IT FELT AS IF IT WAS HIT FROM BEHIND. THE NEXT LIGHT WITHIN 5 MILES, THE SAME THING FROM A STOP. A FEW DAYS LATER IT WAS MUCH WORSE AND THE SERVICE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM CODE CAME UP. AFTER HAVING IT CHECKED( IMMEDIALELY), THERE WAS NO CODE FOUND IN THE VANS COMPUTER. IT DIDN'T SHOW THAT IT EVER CAME UP. THIS COULD BE FATAL, ESPECIALLY AT HIGH SPEEDS. WHEN THE CODE COMES UP AND A MECHANIC CAN'T GET A READING TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM. DOESN'T THAT INDICATE A PROBLEM ?

SLIDING SIDE DOORS WILL NOT CLOSE AND LOCK, WILL OPEN WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, AT RED LIGHT , NIGHT TIMES LIGHTS DIM AND ALARM GOES OFF ,NOTHING LIGHTS UP ON DASH , DRAINS BATT- IN SHOP 4 OR 5 X"S WHEN TALKED TO CORP. OFFICE ABOUT THE DANGER OF GRANDKIDS IN BACK, STATED DUE TO LIVING IN FLORIDA, BEING WET, THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DUE. SO UNTIL SOMEONE GETS HURT OR DIES, IT IS MORE OR LESS OH WELL... BY THE WAY STILL UNDER WARR. DEALER STATED THE SAME THING... YES I HAVE ALL PAPERWORK TO THIS, PUT IN SHOP NOT EVEN ONE WEEK AFTER BOUGHT WITH SMOKING UNDER HOOD. *TR
