If you are unhappy with your dealer, I would recommend getting a second opinion from a different dealer. If you would like to e-mail me your VIN I can look into recall information for your vehicle. Please keep my updated on your progress.

If you haven't spoke with your dealer I would recommend doing so, even if it is just to have the vehicle diagnosed. Please keep me updated on your progress. Feel free to email me directly. Have a great weekend!

It is making to many noises, first they said it was spay bars- fixed, then shocks-fixed. Now its steering shaft,stabilizer link,lower control arm bushings split. Are you serious!!!! If this car has a history of these problems they she be fixed under the powertrain warrantly. I'm putting more into this car than what it's worth.
Not to mention getting it loaded. Loaded woth a piece of crap. Phat Noise system that can not be serviced because they went out of business.
Right door keeps opening and is offline.
Corrosion/rust on each door. Told this is not covered because its normal wear and tear. WHAT! I am so disappointed.

Can you check for recalls / issues with this vehicle?
Thanks.
Since you purchased your vehicle used and you're having many electrical problems, you may have a flood vehicle. Have you checked the vehicle's background?
One other point, when doing any diagnostics, the tech must forget what has already been done. New or newer does not always equal trouble-free.
I have a 2008 Uplander bought new. Normal wear and tear over the years and eventually developed terrible clunks and rattles specially over bumps. Did my own investigation and found a disconnected stab link! Ball came out of its socket. Apparently these things have to be greased, it had a grease fitting, lesson learned. Replaced both stabilizer links myself, no big deal, and I also bought me a grease gun. Some improvement in the noise issue but not much, observed and investigated further as well as researched any online info. I determined the front struts needed replacement. Ordered Monroe quick struts, these are complete assemblies and proceeded to replace both front left and right. Make sure you have a small sledge hammer when you do this to disconnect the old strut from the knuckle. The top three nuts holding the strut assembly are also a pain to remove due to limited access but can be done. Huge improvement in the noise over bumps issue. There was just a little clunk still. Read, researched and observed some more. On a weekend I replaced the rear shock absorbers, left and right, I just thought it was time anyway. After the struggle with the front struts this operation was too easy. Just make sure you have a breaker bar for loosening the top bolt and some liquid wrench helps . What do you know, the van rides like new. Hardly a dip when I stop at a red light and no clunks over bumps either. Hope this helps somebody.
My question, since I am new to auto repair, how tight should I torque the top and bottom bolts of the shocks?
