General Comments:
This vehicle is really making me mad. I wrote in back on 24th Apr 2007, 18:33 when my van wouldn't start. Turned out it was really simple problem-the nut fell off the bolt and it wouldn't start. Problem fixed with my husband's ingenuity=$0.00 in repairs!
Now, I'm having even worse electrical problems. My horn starts honking (took fuse out so I didn't have to listen to it) and the lights flash. Currently for the past week, I need a jump start to go any where.
Been on three different diagnostics just to find out that I need a crank shaft sensor for one and they need to charge $65/hour to do investigation as to my other electrical problems...arrgh!
There's hesitation in the engine, rough idle, flickering lights, some lights don't work at all, some lights work whenever, sliding door has worse PMS than I do.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No

The two outboard seats in the middle row should have a lever on the bottom outward side that allows the seat to flip forward for access to the third row. That way people won't have to jump over seats to get to the third row.
