| Description of the problem | Several things has been happening. Van would speed up for no apparent reason, it has stalled while driving, two front windows went down by themselves, i've had to try several times to start the van, its gotten a lot worse! Took it to cr dodge dealer in adrian mi had to pay $60. 00 to diagnose it. They came up with thermostat and crankshaft position sensor labor $297. 05 parts $76. 20 took it home a couple days same crap. Put 02 oxygen sensor because it was also running really bad at times. A couple days later same crap. Took it back again said it needs a new fuel pump module. Had to take it to a different mechanic because it would take them at least 2 weeks to get one in. So around $500. 00 for the pump. A few days later again hard to start, it seems like if there were a lot of moisture in the air or rain it was worse. So yesterday went out and was completely dead! Got a jump it finally started. Turned it off tried to start it with the aftermarket remote starter wouldn't start again at all after that just cranks and i don't hear the fuel pump coming on. I told the "dodge" service man that i read about the tipm and i thought it was that. He said no, he said it depends when and where the van was made???? Dodge does not care about their customers!!!! I am sooooooo aggravated!!!! |
