Replying to: 455ho (Oct 02, 2009 12:39 am) Best vehicle I have ever owned including my Prius. It is phenomenal how good the mileage is on this vehicle and the 4.0/6speeds performance. My daughter has one just like it and I would not hesitate to get another. If you have a family and need more than 4 seats this is it folks//period!

Replying to: etp (Apr 01, 2009 2:28 pm) How good is it to put (40-42 psi) into the tires for the 2009 GC. Kinda scares me for that higher mpg. Thanks Replies to this message: xwesx (Oct 05, 2009 8:33 am) etp (Oct 05, 2009 2:41 pm)

Replying to: peanut7 (Oct 04, 2009 9:06 pm) As long as it is at or under the max PSI rating of the tire, it will not hurt the tires any. Higher pressure will result in better fuel economy, but also will transmit more of the "road" through to the inside of the vehicle. It is really a matter of finding a balance that works best for you. I tend to run my van at 40 psi. Replies to this message: etp (Oct 05, 2009 2:41 pm)

Replying to: xwesx (Oct 05, 2009 8:33 am) Ditto // good advice // run your tires at the max cold sidewall PSI rated if you want the best MPG. Then as you get more data points adjust to suite your driving needs. On bumpy roads you would be better off at 38 PSI. If you do HWY driving on a smooth road then do what you need to do to get your best MPG. I can only speak for myself and no one else. I always run at the max PSI except my Prius which is 51PSI on the side wall. I am running 44-46 PSI on smooth roads only. This is strictly a personal preference and I can not tell you what you need to do. If you are overly concerned then run them at the door jam pressures.
#214 of 217 sliding door issue by etp Oct 05, 2009 (2:54 pm)
I have developed a minor sliding door issue on the drivers side. Sometimes it refuses to auto close and I have to manually close it. Intermittent at best. It seemed worse when I was parked on an incline at staples on saturday. Still not bad enough to take it to the dealer until my next oil change.   Still a very nice van in all respects.

Replying to: etp (Oct 05, 2009 2:54 pm) Etp,   we have that sliding door issue too, actually, ours is, when parked on an incline, when we auto open it, the door will open to the max point, and the motor will start to click for a few seconds and stop. it's as if the motor is still trying to open the door. This happened since day 1. We haven't taken it back to the dealer yet, but will do that before the 36K warranty is up.   Also, we're at 6K miles and the oil light is up again requiring the change. If that thing shows up at 9K, I'll be pissed, since the manual states change every 6K, not 3K. Old Replies to this message: etp (Oct 21, 2009 11:13 am) etp (Nov 08, 2009 11:27 am)

Replying to: old (Oct 19, 2009 11:45 am) Mine is working for the moment. However my daughters TC 4.0 6 speed is in the shop for a final output shaft bearing. It was shifting fine and just had a beaing noise. Replies to this message: etp (Nov 08, 2009 11:27 am)

Replying to: etp (Oct 21, 2009 11:13 am) Just got back from Disney and we managed 25.5 MPG going down and 27.4 coming back. Still getting 23.2 in mixed driving. My daughters transmission was fixed and they have their van back. I am down to my last free oil change and will try 0W40 probably in January. A small plastic flange on the botton of the plastic surround on the drivers seat broke and is on back order. I forget to get the sliding doors checked as I was in a hurry.   I hope the transmission problem on my daughters van was a fluke as mine is running very well at this time.
