Has had vavle body replaced in Sept. 2008 and again in June 2009. Problem seems to only occur after 30 min or so of driving. When car is turned off and restarted it doesn't do it. Hence, the dealership cannot identify the problem because they cannot replicate it. HELP! It is under factory warranty still
The dealership told me they cannot really do anything if they cannot identify the problem. The check engine light comes on and goes off all the time. Most recently went on 8 hours after the last valve body was replaced. Went off a couple of days later and now two weeks later the shift problem is here again. When I restart the car in the morning it will be fine, so if I take it back to the dealership, they're gonna tell me...they can't see the problem, so they can't fix it. In my research I have found that this "valve body" should have lasted the entire lifetime of the car and now we are on #3. We bought this car 4 mos. ago from CARMAX, as a used vehicle, so we are not covered under any lemon law in our state, as the previous owners was a rental car co.
This car came off the assembly line in March of 2008 and is under manufacuter warranty until March 2011 assuming I stay under 36K. It is only driven to and from work, at a distance of 30 miles total a day.
It can only be touched by Chrylser hands...since their bankruptcy I am limited to this one dealership
Logistic wise
