| Description of the problem | Owned dodge grand caravan rt 2016 one year sliding door on driver side stopped working from one day to next. Then driving down hill from freeway, brakes made a loud screeching sound and the whole van was shaking i thought i was gonna loose control i replace new brakes and drum its better but still shaky going down hill. After month of owning the car i could fill a lil misfire when i give a lil gas but just thought its an rt has power. Well recently my van been in the shop twice for the same problem check engine light came on shows its miss firing (ignition coils) and sparkplugs needed to be replaced. Well we replace all spark plugs and 1 ignition coil because the other coils were still good. Things were good and drove around for 3 weeks then check engine light comes again. Code still shows ignition coil need to be replace. This time replace all 6 ignition coil, guess what i just picked up my van today and 10 min of driving back home check engine light comes on again. Took it back to the mechanic it still miss firing ignition coils. I about ready to throw this van away. This van is only 3 years old how could it possibly have this much problems. In addition when i turn on my signal light on to go right or left my wipers will go off too. |
