| Description of the problem | Lemon vehicle but dealer states that it is not: 2010 dodge grand caravan sxt 4. 0l , intermittent stalling of the engine without warning or service lights, will restart. Stalling began in june 2010, was purchased in 3/10. Dealer has not been able to replicate the stalling failure due to the intermittent nature. Repairs attempted: reprogramming, moving a wiring harness, replacement of wireless control module. Seems to stall more on left turns, or when outside temperatures are 90+ degrees for long periods. Also had to have rear brakes and rotors replaced due to premature warping and brake failure: repair replaced components, only to still have driver side working harder than left and front brakes, finally oil leak appeared and diagnosis was a failed oil cooler, repair: replace oil cooler: to be done on 10/4/10. Overall vehicle is unsafe due to the unannounced stalling issue. |
