| Description of the problem | I currently am buying a 2009 dodge grand caravan is part of the recall for faulty ignition module. This has cause the vehicle to sporadically not start, even after a complete day of driving. This issue started shortly after i purchased the van almost 2 yeas ago. I was told my key needed reprogrammed, paid to have it done and this has obviously not fixed the issue , as it continues to progressively worsen. The vehicle is now shutting off while driving and will not restart. I have spoke with the dealership and called chrysler and they both say that i have to pay to have it even diagnosed because they do not think that the recall is the issue. I was also told that even if it is the recalled part there is no fix available for the 2009 as of yet. I fear the vehicle will not be functional much longer as the problem seems to occur on now a daily basis. The dealer insists it is something else any other time i have had the problem and just tries to just sell me another part that will not fix it. So what are other options other than paying for a car that is non functional or giving the car back loosing anything i have paid on it and being without a vehicle? |
