My sister has a 2007 Dodge Grand Caravan, boring... I know
She bought it brand new.
It has 20,000 miles, and she doesnt drive hard, she drives like an old lady and it's pretty annoying to ride with her, or follow her driving.
Her van has been in about 5 times in the last year, for warranty issues.
Once one of her fuel injectors crapped out, they replaced it.
3 times she had o2 sensors fail
and one other time, a spark plug wire somehow melted itself, and was causing bad arching under the hood, these were all covered under warranty.
I came home from work yesterday, and there was a huge puddle of oil in my driveway, and I figured it was from her, because she swings by my house during the day to take my dog for a walk while im at work.
I went to check it out, and let her know it was leaking oil and tried crawling underneath enough to look, but its too low, and didnt feel like screwing with it.
called the dealership, had it towed and they called her back today to tell her there is massive engine damage and she's getting a whole new engine installed, brand new from factory.
Now, I checked the oil level, and it still had some on the dipstick, so it's not like she was running completely dry, so apparantly it grenaded itself... Freaking 20,000 miles, It's good its covered under warranty but seriously, their engines arent lasting long these days, and I gave you a preview of how she drives to prove it's not from abuse.
