Alternator went out, replaced.
Seats hard to get used to - dealing with it.
Passenger window motor out - dealing with that, too.
So far, in 3 weeks of ownership, I've had to replace the alternator. It was no big deal, except that I suspect I might have over-paid for the shop side of things, but now that works great!
There is a loose connection in some wiring somewhere that is causing the Charge, Oil Level, Radiator and Brakes indicators to light on the dash, but I'm not going to spend a ton to go through the wiring if it keeps running.
I was warned that the passenger's side front electric window motor was bad, and since it was stuck in the DOWN position, I was going to have to spend to have that fixed. Well, my wife got cold riding with the wind blowing on her so she absent-mindedly hit the electric switch to roll the window up, and miraculously, UP it went! So, I can put that expense to rest for a while.
The powered moon roof above the rear passenger compartment is GREAT!!! I love that feature... it helps to keep the van cool while all the windows are closed while I'm on a delivery or something and have to keep everything locked up.
The front seats are a bit odd and getting to the engine compartment (under my seat!!!) but I'm getting used to them. It took a bit to get the driver's seat into a position that was actually comfortable - the downside to driving a minivan with LONG LEGS!
The rear cargo area (with seats removed) is not as wide as I'm used to with my other van, but it's plenty long enough when I need to haul stuff. I'm SO glad that I finally have a minivan with gas springs that actually WORK!!!
I think in addition to all the features I have on this van, the only thing I could really add to it is better anti-sway for the handling and better shocks - but it's possible that the shocks are bad and need replaced so time will tell.
Hey dude check ur alternator belt, I had same problem when I got mine and it was from the belt slipping and not moving the alternator like it should.
