Vehicle has some fading paint spots on the hood and on the sides of the van. The aluminum step bar on the passenger front side is missing two screws and sags a little, also the aluminum step bar on the back driver side has a dent in it. Both are from me trying to jack the van up to change a flat tire. The body is in great shape with no dents only faded paint. Interior is a little worn on the arm rests and back of seats, but overall interior is in very good condition. carpets are a little stain, but also for the most part are in good condition. This vehicle runs great. I use it everyday to go to work and school and pick up friends, family and kids.
Condition: This vehicle is in great condition. I would recommend an oil change, breaks, tune-up, and other regular maintenance tasks to keep this vehicle running good.
Features: My favorite thing about this van is the interior, it has a fold out bed in the back, when not in use it folds up into a back seat couch style. It also has a custom made ice chest in the back for camping and keeping food or drinks cold. Captain style chairs that swival 360 degrees and recline all the way back with a table in the middle of the van for drinks, playing cards, eating or whatever.
History: I bought the van from a mechanic who kept it running pretty good. I have it for over three years and have driven it almost everyday and haven't had to do any maintenance to it at all.
Shipping and payment: Of course payment in full is required. I will negotiate with serious buyers that have cash to offer. There is some room for price negotiations. Of course money talks...No refunds, or returns, sold as is. Come and test drive the car for yourself and get a feel for how it drives, rides and looks in person.

NHTSA closes Ford F-150 EcoBoost acceleration probe
Mon, 14 Apr 2014Typically when we report on the findings of an investigation from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, it's because the government body has discovered a safety issue and prescribed a recall. In this case, however, NHTSA has closed an investigation into a reported performance deficit without ever getting to the recall stage.
The issue revolves around the Ford F-150 - specifically those equipped with the 3.5-liter EcoBoost engine - of which some 360,000 were built in the 2011, 2012 and 2013 model years. After receiving an initial 95 complaints, NHTSA opened an investigation last May - almost a year ago - into the reported issue of reduced engine power under hard acceleration. The agency has since received a total of 525 such complaints, and Ford itself reported receiving over 4,000.
Together, NHTSA and Ford determined that the problem resulted from cylinders misfiring, an issue itself stemming from water getting into the charge air cooler (CAC) mated to the turbochargers. In particularly humid or rainy conditions, water was found to get into the CAC, causing some of the cylinders to misfire, which in turn triggered the ECU to disable those cylinders in order to protect the catalytic converter from damage.
Ford adding stop-start to all major model lines
Sun, 24 Nov 2013Ford has gone all-in on its efforts to offer most of its new vehicles with a fuel-efficient EcoBoost engine, but the automaker is reportedly preparing to take another big step toward improving vehicle efficiency. Automotive News is reporting that Ford will soon expand the availability of start-stop technology, which was first offered - presumably the first non-hybrid vehicle, that is - on the 2013 Fusion (equipped with the 1.6-liter EcoBoost engine) as a $295 option.
The benefit of start-stop is reduced fuel consumption as it shuts the engine off at long stops, and AN quotes Ford as saying that drivers can save more than $1,000 on fuel costs over five years. Despite this, the option hasn't been popular on the Fusion thus far, but it could be more beneficial on bigger vehicles like the F-150. Ford also said that the next-gen Edge, which was previewed in concept form at the LA Auto Show, will be equipped with auto start-stop to help make the EcoBoost engines even more efficient.
Total auto recalls already on record pace in 2014
Tue, 08 Apr 2014If you've noticed that there have been more recalls than usual this year, you may be on to something. According to a report from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the US market is on pace to break a record for recalls. In 2013, 22 million cars were recalled. We're only a third of the way through 2014, though, and we've already halved that figure, with 11 million units recalled. That's wild.
Considering the past few months, it shouldn't be a surprise that General Motors is leading the charge, with six million of the 11 million units recalled coming from one of the General's four brands. Between truck recalls, CUV recalls and the ignition switch recall, 2014 hasn't been a great year for GM.
Other recall leaders include Nissan (one million Sentra and Altima sedans), Honda (900,000 Odyssey minivans), Toyota (over one million units in a few recalls), Volkswagen (150,000 Passat sedans), Chrysler (644,000 Dodge Durango and Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs) and most recently, Ford (434,000 units, the bulk of which were early Ford Escape CUVs). So while it's been a bad year for GM so far, its competitors aren't doing too well, either.
