Dash board lights intermittently flicker. The vehicle will be taken to the local dealership tomorrow for a recall and will be inspected for the first time for the lights flickering. Additionally, the rear passenger door has made a strange noise when the chain engages to open ever since the van was purchased. It was inspected once with the dealer not finding anything wrong. A year later, the door only opens 1/2 way when remote or button is used and will not close with the use of either. This will be inspected tomorrow as well.
