I am sorry that I do not have all of the information necessary. I never knew how to fill out a complaint like this before. A few years ago, my car would not start and when it did it stalled out. It had around 80,000 miles on it at the time. I took it in to be serviced frequently. Then it began to smoke when it was driven. Finally, I spoke to a dealer concerning these problems and he said that I needed to bring it in for an overhaul. I explained that I was just calling for a price, appt for a tuneup and he said that if I had the plymouth voyager and I was lucky enough to have gotten that far and it was still working then it needed a major overhaul. They all did he said. That's when I started noticing the other minivans on the road. The slightly older ones. All of them have whitish gray smoke coming from the tail pipe. All of them except for the ones that have already had to replace their engines and/or had major overhauls involving the replacement of the valves. Now my car is leaking oil and the mechanic won't work on it anymore even a minor tuneup because he says that the engine is going to blow up. I can't afford to replace it. I can't afford to repair it. I've been driving it the way it is because I have no choice. I have made it a point to speak to other van owners that I have seen on the road. They all have the same problem. No matter how well or how badly you maintain the vehicle you have the same result. I recently heard that mitsubishi has been investigated for selling defective automobiles. The plymouth voyager has a mitsubishi engine in it. I believe the dodge caravan has the same engine and the same problem. I don't know how this system works or how long it takes. But I do know that these engines are putting out incredible amounts of exhaust which must violate some sort of regulation. Thank you for reading this. If I can answer any further questions, please let me know. I'd appreciate any help you can give me.
