Sold the Adventure Van aka Vanna White aka the PWRVAN

Exactly 8 week ago today I took one last trip out west and left the van with its new owner. I owned it for a hair under two years and put 17,000 miles on it. It was paid off and I was able to recoup my initial purchase cost as well as the cost of all the accessories that went with it (the $7500 rebate subsidized that) just about down to the dollar. The design, materials, and fit and finish were nice; but the rest of it was more than a cared to deal with. I didn't suffer any catastrophic... Sold the Adventure Van aka Vanna White aka the PWRVAN

C0594

The check engine light came on today and when I used my code reader, that's the code that came up. I poked around the internet and most of the hits pointed to a suspension issue. Anyone know if this is a valid code for the Pacifica? I cleared it so we'll see if it comes back.

Jeans color transfer on Pacifica Pinnacle Hybrid

Hi, I see that there is color transfer from my jeans to the caramel color leather seats on my 2022 Pinnacle Hybrid. Does anyone else have this problem? What is the best solution?

Longer range after recall updates?

I got my car back today after the recall repair plus a software re flash on the radio. After getting home and charging fully it listed range at 38 miles. I have seen it above the standard 33 before but never that high. I took a round trip around 5 and a half miles and it went down to 84 percent. It was around 30 degrees, I didn't turn the heat on and ran the warmers. 84 percent of 33 is 27 so it seems like less capacity was used than expected. Granted this is a sample size of 1 but...

Thoughts & questions on buying a 2018 Hybrid with 190k?

I'm looking for a car that can be driven on fairly long trips (6-8 hours), then driven around town while hauling 4 people and gear for a few weeks at a time, then driven on another long trip home. In my search, I stumbled on what appears to be a pretty good deal on a high mileage 2018 Pacifica Hybrid Limited. Here's what I know about it: It was originally bought in mid-2018, owned by 1 person, who drove it an average of 42,000 miles a year. It is not beat up on the interior like...
