| Last year, when i had made 23 payments on my van, it had been in the shop for 23 times. i drive nearly 100 miles to put it in the shop, so 23 x's 200 miles is a lot of mileage that was put on my van just for repairs. the first week we had the van, we called to complain that we couldn't even take it to carwash, because the windows leaked so badly....then the heater quit working, and on and on and i have had it in the shop numerous times for engine and transmission problems. i just feel like noone cares that i am so disappointed in dodge and my van. | |||
