While driving, the vehicle temperature jumped into the red. We pulled over immediately and found oil and coolant sprayed on the engine compartment. Further inspection showed oil in the radiator mixed with the coolant. The oil cooler failed and oil was being pushed into the coolant system, which caused the overheating. We were just getting up to speed when the incident occurred. We had the vehicle towed to a dealership to be repaired. The oil cooler part inquiry showed 40,000 on back order because the failure occurrence is so high.
Sliding right side door opening by itself (mostly happening overnight), rear lift gate has opened by itself twice (so far), driver's side sliding door has opened by itself once (overnight). I shut the power switch to it off, but it's still happening. So far, that has not happened while the vehicle was on or in motion. I worry about if I'm away and it happens that someone could steal articles from my van. The engine temperature has been running high lately, with a smell of antifreeze. I had the radiator flushed and thermostat replaced, but it's still running hot. It does this mostly when it's idling, even in cold weather.
Vehicle overheats to the point where I have to pull over, open the hood, open the radiator cap, let it drain and add more water/antifreeze. I have t do this every day once or twice a day. I drive 7 miles to work. The thermostat has been replaced and the car only has 90k miles. Also, cannot put gas on the tank. It does not take more than 1/5th of a gallon and it stops. . . Have to restart the gas adding situation every couple of minutes. It takes about 20 to 30 minutes to fill up the tank.
