The van was making a loud noise when you start it up . Was taken to the dealer, state the lifter was bad, fix it and we drove it home. two month later the problem occurred again. they stated they couldnt find nothing wrong. we got ready to remove the vehicle and it was louder that it was before they fix the lifter again. two month later it happen again fixed again. not it in the shop again and it been their since Dec 2015 waiting to be fixed for the same problem again.
