Bad Oil pressure Sensor. Replaced sensor and manifold gaskets. 
A week after the new transmission was installed, the transmission "range sensor" had to be replaced and this was also covered by warranty. 
92000 mi

US $60
Some times the car will not start when you turn the ignition key. If you turn the key a couple of times it will eventually start. Dealer could not duplicate the problem. The $60 charge was for evaluation and diagnosis. I've since determined the problem is probably in the ignition switch. If key is turned "gently" the car starts with no problem. I have not replaced the ignition switch since I can always start the car.

US $385
Developed misfire, tests showed new plugs needed. Didn't cure problem, going back in tomorrow.

8000 mi burning or loosing 1-2 quarts of oil every 1000 miles. Consumption test started. dealer stated that it is within acceptable limits! oil change recommended every 10,000 miles. It it burns 2 quarts every 1000. then I will be negative oil. 
620 mi Makes a noise while idling. Sounds like a diesel. Dealer said intake manifold needed to be replaced. On order. 
9920 mi High pitched whine during very cold (-18C and below) for a few seconds. Origin on noise appeared to be the fan. Dealer was aware of problem but no active TSB. They replaced an Idler Pully and requested I monitor the situation.

C $625
Multiple cylinder misfire code. Dealer couldn't figure it out. Not covered by the extended warranty that is on engines made prior to this one. Compression test showed 0% leak so they replaced every sparkplug. A week later van is showing O2 sensor failures.
