THIS VAN IS A DIESEL VAN WITH AND AUTOMATIC MANUAL TRANSMISSION AND HAS NO PARK FOR THE TRANSMISSION SO THE ONLY PARKING SYSTEM IS THE HAND BRAKE. YOU CANNOT SHUT OF THE VAN AND PUT IT IN GEAR TO STOP IT AS IT WILL STILL ROLL, THIS IS IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND THAT THE ONLY WAY TO KEEP THIS VEHICLE FROM ROLLING IS THE HAND BRAKE. WHEN THE TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE FIRST DROPPED BELOW 30 DEGREES THE PARKING BRAKE WHEN SET WILL NOT RELEASE. THIS IS NOT ALL BECAUSE NOW THE PARKING BRAKE WILL LOCK UP WHEN YOU TRY TO BACK UP EVEN WHEN NOT ENGAGED AND WILL NOT KEEP THE VAN FROM ROLLING EVEN ON A MINOR SLOPE. NOW THE BRAKE DOES NOT WORK AT ALL EVEN WHEN THE WEATHER IS WARM AND IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP 3 TIMES AND THEY CANT FIX IT. THIS IN ITSELF IS DANGEROUS BUT I BELIEVE THAT IT IS A MAJOR ISSUE THAT THIS VEHICLE HAS NO WAY TO STOP IT FROM ROLLING WHEN THE PARKING BRAKE FAILS UNLIKE A TYPICAL MANUAL TRANSMISSION WHERE YOU CAN AT LEAST SHUT OFF THE ENGINE AND PUT THE TRANSMISSION IN GEAR TO KEEP IT FROM ROLLING. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW THIS CAN GET BY GOVERNMENT SAFETY STANDARDS!!!!! *JS
