Known issues on the 2008 SportVan. The 2008 SportVan pairs a modest gasoline four-cylinder with a people-carrying body, so the systems that see the most attention are the ones that move and stop that weight. Engine, cooling and ignition work on the overhead-cam engine is backed by specifications and torque values; brakes, suspension and steering get procedures and diagnostics; and the electrical system is mapped in wiring diagrams for both the Comfortline and Trendline trims.
