| Description of the problem | Van tries to start but just can't turn over. It stalled while trying to pull out in traffic. Took it to the dealer where they first told me it was the alternator. When i tried to leave the van wouldn't start. They tried to jump start it and it wouldn't work. They asked me to leave it over night. The next day i receive a call from the dealer. They tell me not only in my alternator bad but so is my fuel pump. I tell them we will come get it to move it out side. 4 hours later i get in the van turn the key and it starts. I drive the van home and it starts the next morning but not at lunch. This van has left me and my family stranded so many times i could cry. I am just hoping for a repair i can afford or a recall. |
