Yeah, I noticed that the auto climate controls appeared to be exactly the same from 2014 to the present, and I agree that that bodes well for the reliability.
But I thought I'd just check with the forum because, as I mentioned above, the Grand Caravans used the same system for 12 years and that didn't imply at all that it was a reliable system-- it sucked all 12 years!
But many here are saying that the Mirage system is not problematic, so I'm far less worried about this issue now.
Thanks!
