Would not start. Battery OK, turn key and dash lights would come on, and audible click from fuse panel - no other sound from starter etc. Vehicle towed to dealer, immobilzer antennae ordered and replaced two days later. 2 days after immobilizer antennae replaced, vehicle again would not start. Battery OK, all dash lights would come on but nothing else. Was towed to dealer, whole immobilzer unit ordered and replaced this time. 4 weeks after immobilzer change non-start again. After locking/unlocking many times with both key and key fob (reset something?) van started. Took to dealer, all OK, now think problem is with one of keys, waiting for it to happen again, change key to see  On vacation, no tools, headlight bulb went. Have to take cover off front of engine (~15 screws) before you can get to headlight unit so you can take that out and then replace bulb - so took to shop. 
19220 mi 2 weeks later, no-start again. Took few days, but dealer traced problem to BCM (body control module)in junction box under dash. BCM replaced, OK now. Same day I found TSB about this that dealer should have found months ago and fixed first time. 
40920 mi Air bag light on. Took to dealer, left for day, told it was seat sensor, part ordered. Once part arrived, another day at dealer.

So had to wait for that and go back for a third visit... Airbag control module (something like that) replaced.

53200 mi Day after previous repair trip (timing chain tensioners) one key fob did not work. I changed battery, no good. Dealer said new key fob required - ordered part, then programmed - did not work. Dealer then decided it was the control module. Finally determined control module key-fobs link to not working. Ordered new, 3rd trip to dealer for install. Success, but couldn't program old key-fob to it (one old, one new). Ordered 2nd new key-fob, back to dealer 4th time to program it.
