| Description of the problem | 2009 dodge caravan will not hold a charge. Battery has been replaced twice since december 2014. Have had the van in the shop for extensive work on the electrical system, with no luck. I have to jump start my van "every day" to use it. Started in sept 2014. Dec 30, 2014 my husband had a massive stroke, and has had extensive hospitalization and care. He is much better, but paralyzed on one side. This makes it very inconvenient to leave for appointments, shopping, etc. |
