#7 of 4469 Moonroof Drip by bill124 Mar 13, 2000 (3:28 pm)
This weekend I noticed a very slow drip coming from my moonroof during a heavy rain. Not enough to qualify as a leak but instead just a slow drip coming from the passenger's side toward the rear of the moonroof. I wouldn't have even noticed it but we were driving around in a very heavy rainstorm and had the visor open. I was able to recreate the drip with a hose and a lot of water. I would encourage those of you with a moonroof to check it with a hose. If you are like me, you probably drive during a rain with the visor closed, which would mean you wouldn't have noticed it. I also never noticed it when I washed the car but since I was looking for it, I found it. Van made 8/99, picked up 2/00.
#8 of 4469 Fuel Economy by jbeck2 Mar 13, 2000 (7:45 pm)
Does anyone else get poor fuel economy? I get 14/15 miles to the gallon in town. I've had it to the dealer twice but he says there is nothing wrong. I don't race it, don't tow , no hills , and usually carry just two people. I have 3800 miles on it. Replies to this message: knewman (Jun 12, 2005 2:10 pm)

Our gas mileage on our last tank of gas (3rd tankful) was about 14.5. We drove about 95% city during that tankfull.

This exact topic is being discussed right now over in Tailgate Tales. Scroll back a bit so you can catch the beginning.
#11 of 4469 Wow! by blondemom1 Mar 16, 2000 (4:30 am)
I'm really worried about all the serious problems we seem to be having.....
#12 of 4469 No real problem, some comments... by julyar Mar 17, 2000 (12:23 am)
1. I miss the power door lock on the passenger side that can lock all doors. 2. Power door locks don't lock open sliding doors, so you have to wait until both sliding doors are closed before you can lock up, or lock the sliding door manually. This works the same regardless of using the remote, or the driver's side lock button. 3. About the only thing that the drawer under the passenger side is good for is a couple of maps. (Although I found a use for it this morning when I removed the ashtray and put it in the drawer!!) 4. I still haven't gotten used to the wiper setup (neither has my wife who drives it all the time). I have to think about whether I am using the front or the back or twist or move up and down. I think they tried to do a little too much with one lever. My wife keeping squirting the back window trying to turn on the rear wipers. 5. It seems like (I need to observe a little more) that when the sunroof is partially open, you can not move the interior cover to coverup the closed part of the glass. I probably did not describe it well, but if you want the sun roof to be half-open and the sun is shining on you through the glass on the closed half, you can not move the cover over to get out of the sun. As for other problems reported. There is no pulling to one side. No unnecessary downshifting, except maybe when you are on a hilly road going at relatively low speeds 40-50 in overdrive and push it a little (then again this is not unnecessary). Tranny is very smooth. Passing speed is great. OOOPs. Wait a minute, this is supposed to be a problems forum. Enough for now.

#14 of 4469 Shaking... by meera Mar 18, 2000 (6:23 am)
I posted this on the tailgate tales too, didn't realize this forum was here. First let me say, I LOVE MY VAN. I also consistantly get 20+ MPG. This is mostly just <10 mile stop and go trips around town with maybe one drive on the freeway. Which brings me to... Is anyone elses steering wheel shaking a lot in the 65-75 mph range? I already took it in and they blamed it on the tires being out of balance. They balanced them and I thought it helped, but now it seems to be doing it again a week later. I'd love to here if anyone else had this remedied.
#15 of 4469 Operating the radio by stevecanuck Mar 18, 2000 (7:00 pm)
I have the 6 CD player, and the button layout doesn't match the book. I have FM1, FM2, but no Scan button. Does anyone know how to get the radio scan function on the six disc CD player?
#16 of 4469 One Week by blondemom1 Mar 26, 2000 (3:49 am)
It's been 1 week and no posts! I don't have any problems, just thought I'd let you know!
