The hood was really hard to open. I just figured that was the way it was, and lived with it like that for a year or so. Then my son looked at it and easily fixed it. The main thing I don't like is that the van shimmies when I am braking, but I am told that is because the rotors were not turned when the brakes were done (before I bought it) and that while annoying, it is not dangerous, and will go away next time brakes are replaced.

My least favorite thing is that it does not like wet snowy or icy roads. It really wants to slide though these and I have had several close calls because of this. The other thing that I don't really care for is that the AC for the driver is not as cold as the rest of the vents.

Within one month of having the vehicle, the air conditioning went out. The Freon was fully charged at the time the air conditioning went out. I required a full system flush. Within six months of having the vehicle, the front passenger heat seat stopped working. Within one year, the mechanism that allows you to lower and raise the front windows went out. The motors for the window were good- it was the device that connects to the button that you push to lower and raise the windows were bad, and cost $90 per window to fix (a big annoyance, considering the motor itself would have only cost $40). At this time, I was also unable to open or close the back side windows anymore. Also within about a year, the power locks began acting up. Whether controlling them from the key fob or from the button inside the doors, most of the time only the front driver's side door would unlock. All other doors would stay locked. The message center display constantly displayed messages about the traction being off, the tires being low (not true), and the car needing an oil change (also not true). There was a feature that told you how many miles were left to be able to drive with the gas that was remaining in the tank. This was typically mismatched with what the manual gas gauge read. For example, the gas gauge would be on 1/4 tank, and the digital display would read 8 miles to empty.
