| Description of the problem | I would occasionally smell smoke while driving the first few times it happened i pulled over but noticed no obvious smoke coming from anywhere, this was never a consistent ongoing problem meaning i don't smell it daily. Sometimes while driving at maybe 40 mph if i give it a little more gas to speed up a little it would speed up more than i thought it should. When unplugging the usb cord into the board for music i can hear a loud noise that typically is associated with electrical problems. Most recently my a/c has began coming on automatically, this began last week and has happened at least 5 times so far. Since the a/c issue i got online to goggle ad search for possible recalls. I placed a call with a local dodge dealer to explain the issues i'm having and ask about a recall, i was told someone would return my call but has not. This van has a ramp installed in it and is used to transport my daughter who has special needs. I need this resolved asap. |
