My Carvan just turned 6 years old was purchased brand new. Now has 61,300 miles. Took it to dealer because when easing off the brakes at traffic light the vehicle would shake. Also, when accelerating the vehicle jumps. Spark plugs were replaced and something else they did that cost $1700.
Now the dealer found that Cylinder 4 has brunt exhaust valves in it and the Left Cylinder, Left Head Gasket, Inkae Seal Kit, Left & Right Valve Cover Gasket, Three-Bond Sealer, 10yr Cooland, Exhaust Mainford Gasket and and oil change will be needed. All for $4,000! How does this happen to a vehicle with not a lot of miles and is garage kept? I was expecting to have this vehicle for at least 8 to 10 years. Definitely wasn't expecting to have to put out this much money in just 6 years. Can't afford to get this fixed and is my primary traveling vehicle. Now will have to pay to rent a minivan to travel long distances. Will never buy a Dodge again! I have a Honda that's 18 years old and never had this problem.
