Complained lound hissing noise when turning the steering wheel- dealer said it is nomal eventhough, they admited that there is a technical service bulletin for that problem but they did not offer us to repair to correct the problem. Second problem: When shift gear from park to drive or reverse it make a buzzzzzz..tic sound. I browse the web and quite a few owners also complain about this problem. I took my mini van to an independent repair shop and they told me that my transmission is defective I don't have anymore warranty on my mini van.
