If the service vehicle light is coming on, there are stored codes that can be read. If you are planning on doing this yourself, you will need an obd2 code reader to access those codes, and post the code #s here. Otherwise, I would recommend taking it to a reputable shop (other than where you got it) and have it diagnosed. You might have to pay a little bit to get it properly diagnosed, but cheaper than driving with known problems and ruining major components.

Well, that sounds like the ultimate blow off. If you were paying for the repair, they wouldn't have sent you home.

I agree they are blowing you off. You need to go back and be hard on them. Tell them you are not going to lease that vehicle with a problem until it is determined and fixed. They admitted there is a problem.





Since we volunteer our time and knowledge, we ask for you to please follow up when a problem is resolved.

Sounds like a bad sales and service department to me. I am not 100% sure on it but for quite some time ( and I believe your van falls into it) Chrysler and Dodge had very bad transmissions in the minivans. I dont recall the exact issue or fix but just know they were really bad and never issued a recall because according to the NHTSA the issue didnt cause enough alarm for human safety to mandate a recall. And am I correct in understanding you are currently leasing a 2003 minivan that is 11 almost 12 years old? I've never heard of that. U could have a bad vacuum module or sensor on your van too which would throw a code and prompt the service engine light to go on. And with the low tire pressure light either there is actually a tire that needs air and is leaking or the sensor needs adjustment.
