NHTSA Complaint #10838160 — 2000 DODGE CARAVAN

EVERY TIME THIS VEHICLE IS TO BE SERVED FOR SMOG CHECK RENEWAL, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BECOMES AN ISSUE. FOR 2014 I SPENT MONEY IN REPAIRS DEALING WITH A NEW EGR VALVE. THE PROBLEM STOPPED AND PASSED SMOG CHECK. THIS YEAR 2016 I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. ALL AREAS OF SMOG HAVE PASSED IN THE SMOG TEST EXCEPT THAT RESULTS SHOW A "NOT READY " OBD II SYSTEM. DO THIS MEANS THAT EVERY YEAR THIS VAN IS DUE FOR SMOG CHECK I HAVE TO KEEP BUYING A NEW EGR VALVE OR SPEND MONEY IN THE EMISSION SYSTEM REPAIRS BECAUSE THE EMISSION SYSTEM IS FAULTY BY MAKING? AREAS SHOWING AS NOT READY ARE CATALYST, OXYGEN SENSOR, EGR AND OR VVTVSYSTEM. PLEASE ADVISE. MY NAME IS [XXX]. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
