Besides the brakes/rotors now going on their 4th set and the car is less than 2 years old, the front bumper looks like it was about to fall off, many small other problems, this morning my son had his finger caught in the sliding door and the door did not open, it just kept trying to shut on him. this van is horrible! the door has acted up before, but never like this. the decals on the drivers door were coming off at one point and had to be replaced. the tail light already had to be replaced. water in the front light. just too many things for a new car. *tr
