Van has had a few times where it will not start, you can turn the key all the way to the on position, all the lights/radio and air will come on but the engine fails to start, does not make a noise. After a few tries it will start. Recently the key got stuck in the on position to start and the engine tried starting 4 times while stuck in that position before it finally started and almost quit. Did not dare to turn vehicle off due to the possibility it would not start. Research states the tipm is the cause of this along with multiple electrical issues. This should be recalled.
Engine noise. Compared to our old van, the sounds from the new van engine are louder. I noticed when we bought the 2011 van in January, that it does not have a sound insulated hood. Today when driving a 2010 loaner t&c - from the lcoal dealer when our transmission was being serviced - the 2010 has a piece of insulation on the underside of the hood. The 2011 model does not have this insulation and is noisier. Is this a cost cutting effort? nothing like trying to please customers to help future sales.
