“When I come to a stop(or sometimes not even fully) then accelerate to pull off, the rear end or something hesitates & then rams/jerks to the point I thought I was rear ended. This happens several times per week. Also, sometimes there’s no power when I do try proceed through light/stops. It’s like there’s little to no power for about 10 seconds. The breaks are quite loud but dealer says they are good.”

“When you come to a stop at a stop light and hold the brake it stiffens up and you start to roll forward. It has been a near death experience every time. So now at stop light i have to put the van in park, which afraid after doing for so long that will wear out.”

Should you keep driving it?

This page can't tell you that. 5 of 58 reports involved a crash. Owners who file are the ones who had a bad experience, and nobody checks their reports. If the problem affects steering, braking, power or a fire risk, treat it as a safety fault and have it inspected before a long or high-speed drive.

File your own report with NHTSA. Complaint counts are how a problem gets an investigation.
