The van was taken on serveral occasions to be repaired and still has not been repaired. The dealer was contacted and would not help us get the matter resolved. We would like to know if the van was wrecked before our purchase.
"service engine soon" loght came on/failed. Yh.
Engine check light comes and the truck will stop in the middle of the road and will only be going 50-55mph. A couple of days later, the dealer said that is okay, and they cannot fix the problem. The enginecheck l ight stopped again, a day later after the owner had 339. 00 of service done.
At present we are without a car for 8 days this time. The car has been into the shop 9 times for the same problem. This time because we are in arbitration the dealership says that Chrysler wants them to try a few more things. They are not telling us what is wrong with the car but say that the are trying what the technicians are telling them to do. Last week we were told that a technician was going to come down and look at the van. On Friday we went to the dealership and were told that they were going to do this over the phone and that we could absolutely not have the car. They have our car and we are paying $50 a day.
Engine check light stays on dashboard for a long period of time. Dealership is aware of problem.
