Complaint Summary

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Owner Narrative

MY VAN HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP 3 TIMES AND THEY TELL ME I NEED TO CLEAN THE INJECTORS. WELL IT HAS BEEN STARTING SLUGGISH FROM DAY ONE. TODAY IT WILL NOT START. SAME SYMPTOMS AS EVERYBODY ELSE. WEAK BATTERY AND SMOKE STILL WILL NOT START. I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE IT AGAIN. I THINK IT'S GOING TO CATCH ON FIRE. *JB
