Consumer Description
AT JUST OVER 36000 MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, I WAS TOLD THAT THE CAR NEEDED TO HAVE CYLINDER HEADS AND ANOTHER ENGINE PART REPLACED. WHEN I WENT TO PICK THE VAN UP THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON- I WAS TOLD THE PCM (POWER CONTROL MODULE) WAS BAD. AFTER APPROX. 10000 MORE MILES, WHILE DRIVING ON A LOCAL ROAD, ALL OF MY LIGHTS APPEARED ON MY DASH BOARD- THE VEHICLE WENT INTO SOME MODE AND I COULDN'T DRIVE OVER 25 MPH. I STOPPED AT A LOCAL AUTO PARTS STORE AND WAS TOLD THAT MY BATTERY NOW HAD A BAD CELL, THE ALTERNATOR WAS BAD- I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND I WAS AGAIN TOLD THE PCM WAS BAD. WHY IS THE PCM FAILING? AN ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY BEING BAD AT GOING AT 46000 MILES, JUST OVER 2 YEARS OLD. I SEE MANY OF THE CHRYSLER PRODUCTS HAD RECALLED ALTERNATORS- WHAT ABOUT THIS PCM? WHY IS CONTINUING TO FAIL?
