I wish it was, I had to bite the bullet on this one. I originally had the van at an auto repair shop that a neighbor works at and they could not trace the problem. I had no choice really but to go to the dealer. The van has 120,000 miles on it and is 5 years old. This is the only expensive repair we have incured in that time so I am not to broke up over it. The dealer had the van for two weeks and only charged us $87.00 for a rental car for the duration. It now runs great, it still looks great and a new car or van (This one is paid for) would cost thousands more.
