I don't know if Nissan or other models have had replacement part issues but it might be worth looking into.
Mrs. GeneJockey doesn't want to get rid of her beloved 21 year old Sienna. Last time I suggested it, she said, "Do you know how much new Siennas cost?"
I tried to suggest that maybe she should buy something other than a minivan, since she never carries enough people or stuff to warrant a minivan, but she looked at me like I was nuts or something.
