| Description of the problem | Just purchased the van used, have a loan on it and now apparently there is a $1,000-$1300 repair that needs to be done because dodge fails to admit any wrong-doing. This is of serious safety concern. When i was finally able to get my van started, i went to put it in reverse and it wouldn't move. Turns out it had died on me. As with many other people, the tipm is to blame. The van can die at any point because of the loss of power to the fuel pump, if there is no fuel getting to the engine, then there is no power steering, and no power brakes. How is it that there are other models with the same issue that got recalled, but not the grand caravan?! |
