Recall complete- New problems reported?!

I got the call from the dealership today that my van was ready to pick up but it won't pass inspection for there is a misfire engine code now and they want to fix it. They put the axle brace kit on in the first week of March and then failed the front sub frame. They also want me to turn in the rental car tomorrow. I have read that this is common for the vehicles have basically sat for months on end (three months now). This time has had very cold snowy conditions to temps in the nineties with high humidity. I know for a fact (complete recent tuneup) that the van had NO engine codes related to misfires prior to being let sit for months with 3/4 tank of gas that contains 10% ethanol. I also am sure that there is a really good chance that I will have brake issues for the same reason (months of sitting). Has anyone had to fight with the dealers over these issues? I hate to take the rental back if my van is not fit to drive.
