yes i joined the same day, as i was on internet looking for help, found site and joined. Don't know but, i would think that this is normal. not trashing chrysler, not trashing indianapolis dealer at all. more the local. if you read it, indy dealer set me up here locally to get pulling problem resolved. but other problems arose during this period of time before i got to scheduled appointment. so i went to my local dealer, they rotated the tires for my pulling to the right problem..... guess what now it pulls to the left just as bad as to the right. still waiting to hear back when the control or whatever its called is in for the defroster issue. now at a week, and i still have that horrible clunking, which sounds like it comes from front left of vehicle. last post i said i had this on my 02 van spent couple thousand and still no fix.. any help would be great.  so no credibility problem, just blogging my issues. am i in the wrong forum!!

Replying to: hansienna (Jan 19, 2009 7:33 pm) Look, how many times do I have to tell you that the sludge in your engine was not due to a design flaw but to owner negligence? Replies to this message: hansienna (Mar 06, 2009 4:12 pm)
#54 of 90 2008 T&C with Strange Smell by eriefishing Jan 21, 2009 (12:31 pm)
Our 2008 T&C Touring with 4,800 miles has developed a stragne smell that is noticed inside and outside the vehicle, but I have yet to discover the exact location. The smell is noticed after the vehicle has been driven, sist for a short time, then re-enterred and driven again. My wife descibes the smell as an elephants pen or dead animal, to me its smells like something is buring. Since I have smelled it from the outside it makes me wonder if something is rubbing somewhere. Any suggestions is appreciated. Replies to this message: wp746911 (Feb 13, 2009 10:50 am)

Replying to: eriefishing (Jan 21, 2009 12:31 pm) eriefishing- my first guess would be you had a plastic bag you ran over which stuck to the muffler/some hot part of the bottom and started to melt- sometimes you can find it and pull it off- otherwise it should go away with time

Replying to: xwesx (Jan 20, 2009 8:56 am) I have not had any sludge problems with my Sienna engine but I think the driver's side front door welds are about the break.
#57 of 90 DID YOU KNOW? by jamestownguy Mar 17, 2009 (10:43 am)
did anyone you know that the new 2009 Volks Wagon Rutan mini van is a spin off of the new 2008 and 2009 Dodge Grand Caravan and Chrysler Town&Country? same engine and transmission. all is the same except for the tail lights and grille with the VW name stamp! how sad and i test drove the van and it WILL mark my words be just as troublesome as chrysler vans!

Replying to: jamestownguy (Mar 17, 2009 10:43 am) Yes, I knew this the first time I saw a Routan on the road. It has the same sideglass, beltline, shifter knob, etc...

Replying to: hansienna (Dec 30, 2008 7:49 pm) Don't get caught up in the Toyota HYPE, I did. I have an 04 Siennas, 62,000 miles. Two sets of tires already, On vacation in Arizona and just found out its going to cost me over $2000 for A/C, Brakes are spongy (scary) 3 shops state they are OK (both front and rear have been replaced), Not NEAR as stable as my prior D/C in windy conditions or around Semis etc., Window switch don't work properly (been replaced) . Sliding doors squeak, rattles etc. Aluminum wheels had much more corrosion in less than 1 year (8000 miles) than all my other vehicles had with 3 or 4 years old. And yes the door stops are oil canning, major problem and cost.   For those who may think the Toyota Vans are much better, I though I may have gotten a Lemon until I checked out some of their Forums, they have major issues. My D/C had over 110,000 miles and far less total cost in repairs than this Siennna with half the miles.   After reading the issues with T/C. I'm not sure which maker to go with. Definitively getting rid of my Toyota as soon as I return to my Permanent Residence. Replies to this message: hansienna (Apr 06, 2009 7:22 pm) artgpo (Apr 08, 2009 4:07 pm)

Replying to: backwoods5 (Apr 04, 2009 12:01 pm) First choice is a Chrysler T&C or Grand Caravan...but if not, buy the HONDA Odyssey.   Toyota Siennas are overpriced and the options are exorbitantly overpriced. Tires, windshield wiper blades, and other wear items on my 2006 Sienna LE had to be replaced with half the miles and age compared to the more reliable 2002 Chrysler T&C LX minivan I owned.
