NHTSA Complaint #11395661 — 2017 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN

IN DEC, THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE CAR WOULD DO LIKE GOING OVER SPEED TACKS, SHAKE, WHEN IT WAS BETWEEN 45 TO 60 MPH. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP FOR READING, THEY COULDN'T GET A GOOD READING, IT STOPPED. THEN I PAID EXTRA FOR THEM TO TAKE TRANSMISSION PAN OFF. TOLD I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION. THIS VEHICLE IS A 2017. THIS WAS DEC 2020. HAD TRANSMISSION DONE. ABOUT 3 WEEKS LATER, ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. WHEN I CAME BACK , 180 MILES TO VISIT FAMILY, I HAD IT LOOKED AT AGAIN. SHOWING 6 COIL, MISFIRE. THE CAR HAD 85000 MILES. HAD THE 6 COIL REPLACED, ALL PLUGS AND WIRES. LEFT, DROVE 180 MILES , NEXT DAY LIGHT CAME ON. I WASN'T DRIVING THE CAR MUCH AND WAS COMING BACK , ENGINE LIGHT ON, CAR RAN FIND. NEXT DAY, WAS AT A RED LIGHT, GAVE GAS AND THE CAR SPUTTER LIKE IT WASN'T GETTING GAS AND WANTED TO DIED. I PUSH ON THE GAS PADDLE AND HURRIED TO GET TO MY DAD'S. HAD A READING SAYING IT WAS CATALYTIC CONVERTED. AFTER THE WEEKEND I TOOK IT TO MUFFLER SHOP. SAID IT WASN'T GIVING THEM THAT READING, BUT MISFIRE AND 6 COIL. TOOK TO A MECHANIC, HE REPLACE 6 COIL AND SAID PLUGS WHERE GOOD, THAT THEY WERE NEW. BUT, I DID NEED AN AIR FILTER. GOT CAR. FEW HOURS LATER, ENGINE LIGHT WAS BACK ON. READING SHOWED COIL AND MISFIRE. GOING BACK TO MECHANIC, AGAIN. AFTER A RED LIGHT STOP, IT FELT LIKE IT WAS GOING TO DIED AS IF IT WASN'T GETTING GAS. I GAVE IT MORE GAS. THEY CHANGE EVERYTHING AGAIN, EVEN CROSS PARTS TO MAKE SURE. IT IDLES HARD IN PARK OR SITTING IN DRIVE. MORE GAS IT SEEMS TO DO OK. ALSO, ABOUT 6 MONTHS AFTER BUYING IT, HAD TO REPLACE BATTERY. 2013 WAS IN IT. SO, MUCH FOR WANTING TO RETIRE, THIS CAR HAS PUT ME INTO DEBT. I WISH I HAD STAYED WITH A TOYOTA. OWN 6 AND NEVER , COST ME MORE THAN REGULAR SERVICE. AND AGAIN, MISFIRE READING, COIL 6. WITHIN A MONTH ,TWICE ITS BEEN REPLACED AND PLUGS AND STILL BACK LIKE IT WAS. SINCE END OF DEC, BEEN IN SHOP 4 XS, SAME READING,SAME CRAP.
