Check Engine light on again! Turns out it is a thermostat issue. I go to the dealer thinking it was under warranty and they tell me that time has expired, it is too late that time has passed. So Gulfgate Dodge tells me it will cost almost $600.00 to repair. I almost passed out. Good thing we know a good mechanic. First of all the part is very difficult to locate. Well, in order for that part to be replaced it requires a special type of tool to get it off or the mechanic will have to take out a good portion of the engine. The part only cost $40.00 but the labor is very expensive. It took 4 days to repair the thermostat.
Dodge should be ashamed of themselves. DON'T BUY A DODGE, CHRYSLER, JEEP VEHICLES THEY ARE A PAIN IN THE A$$!
The car has 39 thousand miles on it and the part is $40 bucks but going to cost me $500 to fix. The car is barely over a year old, driven carefully and well taken care of. Called Dodge and there is a known problem for this but not a recall yet... Why????
