2003 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN SPORT
POWER EVERYTHING
RUNS AND DRIVES GREAT
HERE IS WHAT YOU MIGHT CONSIDER BAD NEWS:
         THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD THE CATALYTIC  CONVERTER REMOVED AND STRAIGHT PIPE RUN TO AVOID BURNING THE ENGINE IN CASE OF A CONVERTER BLOCKAGE. BECAUSE OF THIS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON SINCE 2010 WHEN THE CONVERTER WAS DIAGNOSED AS BAD. THE O2 SENSORS CANNOT READ ACCURATELY WITHOUT IT, SO THE LIGHT IS STILL INDICATIVE OF A BAD CONVERTER/SENSOR TROUBLE CODE. IF YOU HAVE TO PASS EMISSIONS INSPECTIONS IT WILL NOT PASS.
         THIS VEHICLE HAS RUPTURED/CRACKED PRESSURE PLATES AND ALTHOUGH IT DRIVES/CONTROLS/STEERS FINE, IT DOES EMIT SLIGHTLY MORE ROAD NOISE THAN IT WOULD REPAIRED, BUT I DID NOT SEE A WAY TO JUSTIFY $1400.00 FOR THE REPAIR. ($700.00 PER SIDE)
         THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW IS NOT GOING DOWN, BUT HAS NOT BEEN DOWN, SO THERE IS NO WATER DAMAGE WHATSOEVER. IT IS PROBABLY A CONNECTION IN A WIRE OR SWITCH.
         THERE IS BODY DAMAGE THROUGHOUT. THIS IS STRICTLY COSMETIC AND HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE VEHICLE'S ALIGNMENT, STRUCTURE, OR OPERATION.
         THERE ARE THREE "SPOTS" ON THE WINDSHIELD WHERE ROCKS STRUCK IT IN TRAVEL. CLEAR FINGER NAIL POLISH WAS APPLIED IMMEDIATELY TO STOP ANY SPREADING. 
         HEADLINER IS COMING LOOSE ESPECIALLY IN FRONT.

THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN VERY DEPENDABLE AND HAS TAKEN OUR FAMILY ON VACATIONS ANNUALLY FROM ST. LOUIS TO NASHVILLE TO FLORIDA. WE HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH IT.
HERE IS A WHAT I DISTINCTLY REMEMBER DOING AS MAINTENANCE:    
              2009: TUNE UP, PCV VALVE, FUEL FILTER, RADIATOR FLUSH AND FILL, BRAKES ALL AROUND UPON PURCHASE.
              2010: REAR ENDED SO REAR BUMPER AND COVER WERE REPLACED. FRONT ROTOR WAS REPLACED FROM ACCIDENT.
              2011: OIL DRAIN PAN & GASKET REPLACED. ALTERNATOR REPLACED. FRONT PADS REPLACED.
              2012: NOTHING STANDS OUT, JUST REGULAR MAINTENANCE.
              2013: FRONT PADS WERE DEFECTIVE AND COMING APART SO THEY WERE REPLACED AGAIN. VALVE COVER GASKET WAS REPLACED.
              2014: TRANS SERVICE INCLUDING GASKET , FILTER, AND FLUID REPLACEMENT.
  ****REGULAR OIL & FILTER CHANGES WERE ALWAYS PERFORMED AT 3000 MILES-GIVE OR TAKE 500 MILES. THE AIR FILTER HAS ALSO BEEN REGULARLY REPLACED.

THE VAN WILL BE DUE FOR A TUNE UP IN APP 30,000 MILES. A RADIATOR FLUSH AND FILL WILL ALSO BE A GOOD IDEA.   

FEEDBACK WILL GLADLY AND QUICKLY BE RETURNED AFTER IT IS RECEIVED, THANKS.

A $200.00 DEPOSIT IS REQUIRED THROUGH PAYPAL WITHIN 24 HOURS TO SHOW YOUR SERIOUS GOOD FAITH. FULL PAYMENT AND PICKUP IS REQUIRED IN PERSON WITHIN THREE DAYS FOR SCHEDULING--NOT NECESSARILY PERFORMED---JUST SCHEDULED!! I CAN WORK WITH YOU ON THAT.

Sunday Drive: Spying an automotive future of performance

Sun, May 13 2018

I spy, with my little eye ... the future of the automotive world here in the United States. That pretty much sums up this week's Sunday Drive, in which we pull out the most popular stories on Autoblog of the previous week and try to draw some sort of conclusion as to what binds them all together. This week, it's spy shots, starting with one of the biggest and baddest muscle cars the world has ever seen: the Dodge Challenger Hellcat. The Hellish coupe gets a new hood for 2019 with dual scoops, but that's about the only meaningful change for the new model year. No matter. As long as it's packing 700-plus horsepower under those two hood scoops, all will be right with the world. Moving on, we take keep the performance angle but move it from the street to the dirt with a new version of the Chevy Colorado ZR2 that we think is probably called the Bison. We think it'll keep the high-tech suspension bits of the regular ZR2, but add expedition gear that may include a snorkel and a winch. Which, if true, is pretty dang cool. Keeping the truck theme is the 2019 GMC Sierra. There's nothing particularly noteworthy about the trim level in which the truck was spied, and that's what makes this specific example interesting. Base-model trucks almost never get much attention, but they sell in droves to workers who need an honest-to-goodness truck for work or play and don't care about bells, whistles, or massive chrome badges. And finally we have the 2018 Jeep Wrangler, which is on fire on the sales floor right now. But those are all V6-powered Wranglers flying off the showroom floor. Soon, a turbocharged four-cylinder engine option will become available, and now we know that it will return up to 23 miles per gallon in the city and 25 on the highway. That makes it the most fuel efficient Wrangler that Jeep has ever sold. As always, stay tuned to Autoblog this week for all the automotive news that's fit to publish. 2019 Dodge Challenger Hellcat with twin-scoop hood spied with no camouflage Chevy Colorado ZR2 Bison caught testing 2019 GMC Sierra 1500 spied in base trim level 2018 Jeep Wrangler four-cylinder fuel economy revealed Spy Photos Chevrolet Dodge GMC Jeep Truck Coupe SUV Off-Road Vehicles Performance dodge challenger srt hellcat sunday drive

Fiat Chrysler faces $79 million U.S. penalty for fuel economy shortfall

Wed, Oct 16 2019

WASHINGTON — Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV on Wednesday said it faces a $79 million U.S. civil penalty for failing to meet 2017 fuel economy requirements, as regulators reported more automakers were falling short of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions standards. The Italian-American automaker said the payment is not expected to have a material impact on its business. Of 18 major carmakers in the United States, 13 including Fiat Chrysler failed to comply with fuel economy and greenhouse gas emissions standards for the 2017 model year without using credits, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). The agency said its review of model year 2017 vehicles showed "automakers falling further behind current standards." The 2017 model fleet fell 1 1/2 miles per gallon short of the 33.8 mpg standard based on yearly performance without including credits, NHTSA reported. The shortfall was a half-mile per gallon for the 2016 model year. NHTSA said more automakers were failing to comply with standards for the 2018 and 2019 model years, "and the potential penalties on automakers, which are passed along to consumers, are expected to continue to increase." The Trump administration has used the widening gap between the emissions of automakers' U.S. fleets, which are skewing toward larger vehicles, and national vehicle CO2 emissions standards to bolster its case for freezing vehicle emissions and mileage standards at current levels through 2026. Environmental groups and regulators in California and other states are fighting against any rollback in standards, saying tough rules are needed to address climate change and reduce consumer outlays for fuel. NHTSA and the Environmental Protection Agency are working to finalize as early as next month a rewrite of the Obama administrationÂ’s fuel efficiency requirements, which call for sharp reductions in fleet-wide emissions by 2026. Fiat Chrysler is paying fines for the shortfall in its domestic passenger car fleet, which includes several front-wheel-drive Jeep and rear-drive Dodge SUVs and some sedans and muscle cars. The automaker killed its slow-selling domestic small and midsize sedans. After paying $77.3 million last year for a 2016 model year fuel-economy shortfall, a Fiat Chrysler spokesman confirmed Wednesday the company had received a letter on the 2017 penalty and has 60 days to pay the fine.

Dodge Journey and Fiat Freemont engine-cover recall affects 350k CUVs

Wed, Jul 22 2015

FCA is recalling 349,731 examples of the 2011-2015 Dodge Journey and Fiat Freemont worldwide to better secure their engine covers. Of these affected vehicles, there are 144,416 in the US, 43,679 in Canada, 46,231 in Mexico, and 115,405 elsewhere. About 10 percent of them are also still at dealers, according to the automaker. Only models with the 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine are affected by this campaign. According to the company, the engine covers on these vehicles can be dislodged, and this can pose a fire risk if the loose part comes in contact with hot exhaust components. Warning signs of this happening include a noise under the hood, burning smell or a light on the instrument panel. The problem was discovered after three incidents on rough roads in Chile, and there was one minor injury there. According to FCA US spokesperson Eric Mayne to Autoblog, there have been eight occurrences of this issue reported in the US, but these were all related to "heat damage." There have been no reported injuries here. To fix the problem, dealers will install new engine-cover retainers on the affected models. These repairs will begin in August. As always for recall repairs, owners won't be charged. Statement: Engine Cover July 22, 2015 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - FCA US LLC is voluntarily recalling an estimated 144,416 crossover utility vehicles (CUVs) in the U.S. to better secure their engine covers. Engine covers in certain vehicles may become dislodged. If they come in contact with exhaust components, it may pose a fire risk. This condition was discovered during an FCA US investigation of three incidents in Chile. In each case, the vehicle had been driven extensively on unpaved or uneven surfaces. The Company is aware of a single related injury, described as minor. Affected are 2011-2015 Dodge Journey and Fiat Freemont CUVs equipped with 2.4-liter, four-cylinder engines. FCA US will install upgraded engine-cover retainers in these vehicles. The remedy will be available when customer notification begins next month; service will be performed free of charge. Vehicles equipped with six-cylinder engines are not affected. Additional Journey and Freemont populations also are subject to this campaign. They comprise an estimated 43,679 vehicles in Canada; 46,231 in Mexico; and 115,405 outside the NAFTA region. Of the 349,731 total vehicles subject to this campaign, approximately 10 percent remain in dealer hands.
