Worst purchase of my life!!!!

I purchased this car used with 73,000 miles on it. For the first year it was the best purchase I ever made! That changed once I got past that 20,000 mile mark I had to replace the alternator, the rubber trim fell off around both back sliding doors. I had to remove some of the fuses because the interior lights would randomly come on ( when car was turned off and nobody operating it) so the battery would go dead of course! I replaced the transmission, water pump, fuel injectors, rail and harness and the abs light stays on even though several mechanics say there’s nothing wrong with the brake system! The van seems possessed if you ask me and I would not be able to recommend this vehicle to any family with a clear conscience! I have taken very good care of the vehicle with oil changes, tune ups etc… It’s also had problems with the neck of the muffler detaching from the body of the van. Had that replaced, back wiper doesn’t work, back door won’t open plus more minor problems too many to list. Power locks sometimes don’t respond sometimes they do. Please DO NOT purchase!! Worst car I have ever owned!!
