| Description of the problem | Bought this van in aug. 2009 loved it at first.. Then things started happening. Would hesitate while driving, never die on me but still feels like it will sometimes.. Steering wheel has locked on me several times. Different panel lights come on and go off since day one. Have changed brakes way more than should of been necessary.. Other repair to brake system. Had power steering line changed. About 6 months ago, panel lights started coming on more often, then the gauges wouldn't work, wipers come on and won't stop. Headlight flash on and off or don't work at all; turn signals work on and off, power locks come on and off, can't roll windows down or up from drivers side or lock or unlock doors. Everyday it gets worse. Took it to dodge dealer 11/2016 cost about $100. 00 to tell me , its not a call back and not related to the ignition problem, and in my passed complains they had didn't have any of these problems listed, even tho i had told them about them before. So because control lights had went off at that time they couldn't do anything. It was probably an electrical problem and the last time they did one it too about 10 hr. To find the problem. ($128. 00 an hr) i can't afford that and i think chrysler should stand behind their cars. Now for the last 2 weeks all of these things stay on and continue to do it all. Low mileage 81000 always taken care of, now i'm 70 yrs old and have a van that i'm afraid to drive... This happens while driving and sitting still. |
