We had a VMI conversion done in 2003. After the warranty expired there has been endless maintenance problems. Door won't close properly, ramp fails, van kneels but won't raise up, circuit board and motor need replacing... All of those problems have been fixed and reoccurring and fixed numerous times at huge cost. Our setup is now 7 years old. Does anyone know if the newer systems are more reliable or had any improvements done to them?

We recently purchased a new 2010 Honda Odyssey with a Northstar Conversion. We have had it less than 5 months, and it has been an absolute nightmare. The dealer we purchased it from has been of no help, and we have had to go to another dealer to get things fixed. The problems just keep coming, from the ramp to the fuel system, front bumper to rear...
