| Description of the problem | With no warning, i went out to start my 2012 dodge grand caravan, and it turned over for about a second, then it was like someone turned off the power to the starter ... It just quit! I tried and tried to start it, but all i get is one small click when i turn the key. I got online and did a search, only to find that this problem has been rampant for years now; and chrysler apparently won't do anything about it. I am currently unemployed and need my van to look for work, and to get to work if i find a job. We are living on my wife's income right now, so i can't afford to put it in the shop, and the warranty has run out. It's only 2 years old ... There's no way i should be having major problems this soon! I don't know what i'm going to do at this point, but i am furious after reading the horror stories people have posted, where some have spent $2000 - $3000 to get this fixed, and then the problem comes back!!! |
