| Description of the problem | My electrical system has a demand. It started with power sliding door not opening then the locks would not unlock if i did not slam the side door shut the flashers would come on and i could not shut them off the rear window wiper started moving i could not shut if off all the dash lights started flashing and indicated i had no gas. This is a handicapped modified van and i use a wheelchair to ambulate. I have taken off work for full days and partial days to get this problem diagnosed and fixed. After a $2,488 dollar bill to excise the demand the door still will not open and the wheelchair ramp will not deploy. I have to work and i am almost out of leave. Dodge should come to the rescue and assume responsibility for the computer problem that they are aware of and recall these vehicles to have the computer program patch to all owners. My problems started at 38,000 miles. |
