I have a 2002 and have changed all the popular items: Intake gasket, Ignition switch windshield,brakes, and now after my wife shuts the door the window fell down, how many people have to experience the same problems before there is a recall?

My wife has a FWD 2003 RDV (2nd edition). So far, its front rotors needed to be replaced. And both front wheel bearings needed to be replaced as well. Compared to our other vehicle (which is a mini-van), I find the "front end" of the RDV is very heavy. Great for traction (when its needed) but this extra weight in the front end is hard on brake rotors and hard on front bearings. It's 3.4L engine seems to have ticking (especially at cold start up) but my trusted mechanic says this is normal - due to its engine design. Was told a 1/2 can of Lucus engine oil during next oil change will help reduce engine ticking sounds. (hope it works...).
 
Other then these above items, so far - so good. Our FWD '03 RDV vehicle starts, rides great, all its controls work and its "fun to drive" (but heavy on its front end). I find the FWD RDV a great vehicle for 2 kids, taller drivers (due to hits extra roof height) and it has huge rear cargo space. IMO - Great "in town" run-about vehicle for the average family. So far, glad we got this vehicle (which was used to us).
 
So far, no recall request for us...
