I know the differences between the first year 12-13 models, just wondering for those of you that have 13-15 models if there are any differences. For those that have Touring and GT models, do you like the bluetooth speaker set up? Also wondering if the Sport models have a USB and aux jack, as I...

Just wanted everyone to know that I have over 44k now on some Yokohama YK580's, which is further than I've ever gone on a set of tires on my van. Tire wear is one of the few downsides to the 5 and since I drive a lot it is very important to my bottom line. Stock size and rotated every 4-5k.

I just changed out the shocks/struts on my 08 with 136k for the first time. The fronts were starting to leak a little and I figured with the mileage that the rears were due to. It has a slightly better/firmer ride now and less noise, particularly in the morning. Anyone here with more miles on...

Has anyone hit the 200k mile mark yet? I'm wondering what I'm in for if I decide to take it there. I'm at 124k.

My sliding doors were getting a bit noisy and had lost their glide abilities so I lubricated them with PB50 All Purpose Lubricant. It worked really well and now they glide like new. Just wanted to post for those of you with doors that don't open like they did when new.

As everyone probably knows, the coolant gauge isn't really a gauge in our cars. Its an idiot light that only moves up to normal after a cold start and then remains there unless there is a large change in engine temperature. This is why the gauge doesn't move when going up hill on a 110 degree...

Anyone done a coolant flush/change yet? I know the manual says something like 150k or so, but I wondered if anyone has done it before or at that period. My scangauge says my coolant temps are around 204F when driving and I don't know it that is high or low. The "gauge" just stays in the middle...

This weekend I lined the floor/folded seats with a tarp and hauled tree branches/bushes to our local green waste recycling center. Instead of having to rent a truck/wait for many weeks for the city to pick up the brush, I was able to haul it all myself. This vehicle keep surprising me with its...

I have a different door lock problem that I've seen on the forum on my 08. My passenger side door lock will lock or unlock as its suppose to when I push the button. However, if I decide to push it again, it doesn't work for a while. I can see it try to lock/unlock, but it doesn't work till it...

I usually have one of the third row seats up and recently put the other one down to haul some stuff. I noticed that one side is now slightly higher than the other(the floor is uneven). When I put them both up, one seat is reclined slightly more than the other one. I can't find any...

The tire forum has quite a bit of up sizing in it to the 215/225 tires. I'm interested in keeping the 205's and I'm going to have to replace my Yokohama 520's in the next month or so. The Costco Michelin Exalto tires look promising, but they run about 20-30 dollars more per tire than virtually...

Okay, lets try this again.

I'm wondering who has gone the most miles on a set of tires. I've got 30k on my Yokohama 520's and they are probably 3/4 the way done. I'd like to see more than 40k on a set of tires, but it doesn't seem like anyone is doing better than that. The OE Toyo's went 31k. I've got an 08 5AT.

I wondered how far forum members have driven with the fuel light on. Last night on the way home from a long trip I had my light on for 37 miles and the fuel gauge was reading below the E, so I decided not to test it and I filled up. I only put in 13.8 gallons after driving 394 miles (28.5 mpg)...

I've got over 50k now on my 08 AT and its started to make noise when I'm stopped at a light(my foot on the brake, car in drive). The noise goes away if I put it in neutral and its not as loud if I put it in Park or Reverse. Once I take my foot off the brake the noise goes away. I have noticed...

Has anyone figured out how to turn off the automatic locking door locks? When I unlock the car with the key fob, the doors will automatically lock again if I don't open the door within a 30 sec or so. I'd like to turn off this "feature." The dealership said its not possible, but I'm not willing...

I found out today that the front and rear accessory ports do not share the same fuse. My front one stopped working, but the rear one continued to work. I traced the failure to a blown fuse in the fuse box on the passengers side in the van. Does anyone know, just for curiousity sake, which fuse...

I have an 08 5AT that I just put tires on and had an alignment done shortly afterwords. I had the alignment done because I noticed a slight pull to the right at speeds above 60mph. The alignment showed my van was mostly in spec and the only thing they adjusted was the toe, which was the only...

Does anyone know if the 08 and later models use a different cabin filter. When I called the stealer, they asked me if I had "rear ventilation." I told him that I did(all 08's and later have rear fans). I called another dealer and they asked me the same question. When I called Napa, Kragen, went...

I've got an 08 5AT and when I brake above 65 or so, I get a vibration coming through the steering wheel. It only vibrates at high speed and only during braking. The van still brakes fine and does not pull in either direction. Once I've slowed below 65 or so, the vibration goes away. I thought it...
