| Description of the problem | 2011 dodge caravan purchased 3/2017. Motor had a slight knocking sound took it back to dealer they sent me to their mechanic. I was assured that it was fine. Then brakes went really low and did not stop right. Told it was a master cylinder. Installed that then it happened again so was told that it was a bad master cylinder. Installed another one. Did not fix the problem after a few days.????? Then i was told we needed a brake booster. Installed that and it did seem like that was it fixed, then the brake light came on and brake pedal went low. Now it has a very horrible sound and the trany at times does not want to shift and the rpm's go up and i have to pull over and shut off the vehicle and turn it back on and it will shift.???? Electronical.??? I have read complaints on nhtsa and i feel like dodge should repair the brakes and the trany problem. From what i can read it is a defective part of the programming. The horrible nosie when you pull off, i dont know what it is but sounds bad.. I called dodge dealership right after i bought the van and they were very rude and said there were not any recalls for this 2011 van and i see that there is and some says complete. Well if they are complete seems to me like it needs to be repaired again because it is doing what i see that people are complaining about. I owe nearly 14,000 on this van. . Doge/chrysler should make it good. The complete on the recalls like i said is not complete. Please help me if you can. I dont have much faith after the person at the dodge dealership was so rude to me, but maybe you all there can help me get it repaired. This is a safety issue. The windows sometimes dont want to come down and yall have something about it might catch on fire. The keybob will not open the side doors. |
