"Hi, Service Department, it's me again!!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Replaced a head gasket.

Replaced a wiper motor.

Previous customer stated the brakes were replaced 3 times, I replaced them again.

Replaced an intake manifold.

Replaced a doughnut gasket, and manifold.

Replaced an alternator.

General comments?

I baby this vehicle and she still seems to get me in trouble!!! Every time I turn around I'm looking at a serious repair bill. A wiper motor and a doughnut gasket cost me $700.00 and don't even think of tackling this job yourself unless you are about 3 feet tall and are double jointed with $5,000 dollars of specialty tools. It's a shame too, I change oil every 2500 to 3,000 miles, have changed the transmission fluid already, flushed the cooling system and even run high test gas in this puppy and she still bites me!!!

This could have been an excellent vehicle if it was not so prone to repairs.

I know someone who has a van similar to yours but a 1994 model. It is also very prone to repairs. It's usually in the garage almost once a month. The van is in excellent shape, but still costs an arm and a leg to repair.
