Consumer Description

My cars engine light came on. First I thought it’s was after a fill up of gas. Then it went off. Days later I went to go home from work and the car just wouldn’t start. I had to have it towed- the mechanic stated it’s always a problem em with dodge caravans it’s the engine. I towed it to my normal mechanic which replaced the battery and lo and behold engine light is on. Took it to the dodge dealership and it’s a cylinder head that needs to be replaced. This car is 4 years old, just at 75,000. In the ordinal owner and maintenances as suggested by manufacturer. This is unsafe and I cannot drive my children around in this vehicle. This is a known issue with these. My mechanic had another one in his shop with the same issue, but only 45,000 miles. I cannot drive this car, as it will continue to crack and cash a fatality with my children in the car.
