"A money pit!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

On the third day of ownership, the motor began to tick.

It began to stall when I tried to slow down or stop.

Sometimes when I try to start it, there is no power or anything.

The timing went out.

The reverse / low band in the transmission went out.

It blows blue and gray smoke at all times.

The exhaust gas recirculation valve (EGR valve) went out.

The oxygen sensor went out.

It needs new tie rods, ball joints, shocks and struts.

The rear wiper motor went out.

The air intake plenum cracked.

The seatbelts were recalled.

The rear door lifters were recalled.

The rear door latch was recalled.

Something in the steering column was recalled.

The motor needs to be re-built.

General comments?

This vehicle has been in the shop dozens of times.

I wish I would have never purchased it.

The manufacturer should recall the whole thing, and purchase each one back.

Well it sounds like you bought a van that some one else did not want any more because it was all wore out when they got rid of it looks can be deceiving and you got a money pit.

Your van may be blowing out smoke due too bad valve seals - a problem that is common among the 3 liter Mitsubishi V6 engine in your van.
