| Description of the problem | Took my 2012 dodge grand caravan to the tempe dealership to have the recalls fixed. Soon after they did the recalls my car would not drive off the lot they told me that the fuel pump was bad and it would cost $806 to fix it. So i told them lets do it. I get a call an the said its the tipm ! $1400 dollars later my car is still running pretty rough and not getting power and completely shut down while driving. So i call the dealer and they tow it in to tell me it is my fuel pump. So $800 they said its fixed and i should have nothing going wrong. 3 days later my check engine light comes on and a code p0456 evac leak! So i call the dealer and let them know . I then purchased a gas cap just to make sure that was not the problem. Light stayed on. So i get the van to the dealer and they had my van allday to say its my gas cap . Let me remind you i just purchased one. So they get the check engine light to go off and now everytime i fill the tank up gas fumes are soo strong in the vehicle and is running very poorly. Honestly im scared to have them look at it . I just want my van safe i have kids . Its my only vehicle. |
