I purchased this van in february, it was not driven until august. It went to brain to modified for wheelchair conversions. I noticed in early november that the hood has 4 separate rust spots and the the panel with the electrical components on the drivers seat has snapped off from getting in and out of the vehicle. Given that this van IS a 2016 and has limited miles, I find this unacceptable and I'm not allowed to do another conversion for 5 years. This vehicle needs to last that duration.
I am concerned with corrosion on this conversion van that has caused perforation and separation of the frame. this rust issue IS very apparent where the modifications were done on the undercarriage/frame of the vehicle. the original dodge componets have little to no rust. my understanding IS this conversion was a rampvan conversion done per braun using the ims conversion alloy steel and was manufactured in winamac in. they did stop production on this shortly after my purchase of this modified vehicle related to this very issue. The van IS no longer safe to drive and has separated from the frame of the vehicle. this vehicle was routinely serviced and cared for out of the elements. despite this meticulous care, this substandard use of materials that failed has left the vehicle a road hazard. I have communicated with the dealer that I purchased it from and braun prior warranty going off with no real resolution to the issue. this IS completely due to use of substandard design and materials. this manufacturer needs to be held liable for selling and marketing a known poorly designed vehicle.
