VEHICLE WAS TAKEN IN FOR INSPECTION AND FAILED DUE TO THE TRANSMISSION CROSS MEMBER RUSTING OUT. IT IS 7 YEARS OLD BUT HAS LOW MILEAGE. I DO NOT FEEL THAT FAILURE OF THE FRAME SHOULD HAPPEN I WAS TOLD THAT THIS FAILURE DUE TO RUST IS COMMON ON THESE VANS AND THEY MAKE A REPLACEMENT CROSS MEMBER THAT BOLTS RIGHT IN BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE ALREADY HAD TO REPLACE ABS SENSORS DUE TO CORROSION AND NOW THIS, BOTH ARE SAFETY PARTS AND FAILED BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT DESIGNED FOR THE NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR IN NORTHERN STATES. *JB
LAST YEAR PASSENGER SIDE DOUBLE DOOR LEFT SIDE HINGES GOT SO TIGHT THAT THEY SNAPPED THE HINGE. NO LUBE WOULD LOOSEN PRIOR TO BREAKING. THIS WEEK THE RIGHT DOOR EXACT SAME THING. HINGE SNAPPED. REPLACED THIS ONE COSTING ME $800. LAST YEAR WAS PROBABLY THE SAME COST FOR THE LEFT. THE ORIGINAL HINGES ARE DEFECTIVE AND ARE UNABLE TO BE LUBED. THEY KNOW THEY HAVE A PROBLEM BECAUSE THE NEW ONES ARE MADE WITH GREASE FITTINGS. I JUST LOOKED ON LINE AT A FORUM AND THERE ARE SEVERAL LISTINGS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM FOR YEARS. *TR
