What is better for your car starting in cold weather, a block heater, a trickle charger, or a battery blanket?


I bought the truck 4 weeks ago, it ran fine until the dealer filled the tank with obviously cheap gas. They even admitted a few other cars were having the same issues. But they refused to address the issue of the bad gas. I asked them to drain and flush the tank, replace the filter, etc...a general fuel system repair.

1997 Dodge Intrepid wont stay running.?


They told me they'll "put it on the computer and see what the issue is". Then came back and told me it needed a general tune up...plugs, boots (they claimed number 8 was misfiring) and an injector service. Totalling just under $600. On the way home, it started up again. Nothing was fixed at all.

you generally have 30day warranty on anything that they did.if you brought it in for a specific problem and it has not been repaired ,take it back.they should warranty it for you.if not ,inform them that you will call the better business bureau.but first try to speak to the manager.if this is a manufacturing dealer,tell the service dept. that you want to speak to the owner.

Yes you have recourse. file a formal (written complaint) with their service dept and if no action, 2-3 days then contact your better business bureau as well as the vehicle manufacturer. Be sure to save copies of all correspondence and invoices. also your state may have a lemon law that may allow you to return the truck for a full refund. Check your state bureau of automotive repair, probably have web site or at least be in the yellow pages. I would think you should not be charged in the first place as a new vehicle is warranty, if new.

whats the purpose off a mechanical seal?


If I were you, I would call the dealer, speak to the manager and inform them that the problem is still not fixed. I don't think the dealer wants any complaints. If they turn around and tell you the problem is from some electronic module, then I'd be mad, because it was already diagnosed by a computer.

transmission problem it will not go in to third gear?

I had a problem with my car recently and had the same trouble you are having. Four trips to the dealer, and all they could say was "The technician couldn't find anything wrong on diagnostics."
I figured out that the dealership was clueless because the care was bearly driveable. If you bought the truck just four weeks ago, they should fix it just to keep you happy. For me, $86.00 per diagnostic, and no remedy really ticked me off. Not to mention the inconveniece!
