The air conditioning system worked fine until I drove the van home after the plaza Dodge of holiday replaced the serp belt. Approximately one week after the van was serviced which also included a transmission flush, the transmission had a total failure. The engine runs but the van will not move.
Fan belt broke in half, caused engine to overheat. Manufacture is blaming it on oil change. Their own mechanic advised due to fan belt. Neither dealer nor manufacturer want responsibility and advised it is no longer under warranty. Still fighting with manufacturer to replace engine, have not had my van for 5 months, still at the dealership.
