The two lift support cylinders for the rear hatch failed... likely from age and successive extreme freeze / thaw cycles that we have been having here in Western Canada. New ones were ridiculously expensive, so I got a pair at Pick-n-Pull on a low mileage vehicle for $8 each. Tricky to replace because even with the hatch propped fully open with a 2x4, there is still some tension when near fully extended. For safety, I hooked on a tie down strap over the top to the cartop carrier... easy to adjust as well to match up the holes for threading in the bolts.

Front end alignment, requiring replacement of both inner tie rods, outer tie rod ends, camber belt, shim and all 4 tires. Two more parts need to be replaced on both sides for the alignment to be 'as correct as it can be made'. Rather lousy alignment discovery since vehicle was marketed as not needing any alignments when first sold in 2006! Clear coat has totally deteriated over entire vehicle. Only cure in to completely remove the remaining material and totally repaint the vehicle. Resale value now is about $600.

Vehicle has only 24k miles but is 3 mos. past the three year warranty limit. A plastic "plug" popped out of the bottom of the driver's side outside mirror, losing parts in the process and rendering the mirror loose (flops back and forth).

The repair addressed the sway bar ends' contribution to the noise, but there were still other worn parts making noise. After replacing the sway bar end links and sway bar bushings, the car still made popping noises driving over bumps. Further diagnosis was that the struts were starting to separate from their upper mounts, as well as worn lower ball joints (necessitating replacement of the complete control arms, lower engine mount, and rear shocks, spring bushings and shackle mounts. Van had had a possessed volume knob in the factory stereo for some time.

Apparently linkage from auto transmission selector was not quite engaged and after 20 km it went into neutral during acceleration and the computer showed error which was the transmission shift module or something similar. It faulted as the power to the module is cut when car is in neutral so there might be a sticking cable from the drivers control stick to the auto transmission. I was able to drive the van normally after making certain the transmission is engaged correctly without any trouble. It os possible that a long winter in which vehicle was driven little allowed the linkage to stiffen and not engage as it ought to. We shall see as a replacement of this module is more than the vehicle is worth.
