| Description of the problem | Bought a new 2008 sedona. 2 years later noticed radio, right front turn signal and ac power outlet were not working. Took it into the dealership and they replaced a blown fuse. 18 months later right front turn signal is out again and took it to the dealership. They fixed it by bending a metal piece in the plug to make more contact with the bulb. 2 1/2 weeks later, i have my 3 kids in the car and my accelerator loses all power and the esc light comes on as well as the check engine light. I was able to coast it over to the shoulder, turned the car off and waited a few minutes. Turned the car back on and pressed the accelerator and was able to drive it home. The check engine light is still on and i can't get an appointment with the dealership for 2 weeks!!! |
