The first thing they did was update the PCM. The oil pump has been replaced. The oil was supposedly changed at the dealership before we purchased it. They mentioned the left cylinder head before, but never replaced it. Maybe that is it?

 

The misfire would be the head. The P06DD would be something else.

 

Thanks! They said the coil pack was causing the misfire. It as cylooplinder 4 I think, they switched it to 2 and it kicked out a misfire code, so they said the diagnostic tree said it was the coil pack.

I have to take it back to them when I get back in town, and they will check it out on Monday. Just hope it won't hurt anything to drive 400 miles back home. It runs a little rough at idle, but other than that no trouble.

 

just read through this post, wow! what a headache, and you've only had this van for a month?? when you bring the van back in next time, you need to tell them you want them to take there lemon back in exchange for a different vehicle, I don't think id be nice about it either..

 

I don't want or like to be ugly ...I just want it fixed.

 

I think it's more of a brain lazy service dept than a lemon issue. These are all common problems with these engines that usually only happen once in their lifespan and are easily addressed by a good service dept.


If you have other close options, I would use another dealer in the future.

 

Nothing close enough I don't think. They did tell me.they had been in the phone with Dodge support the last time it was there.

My husband noticed that the last two times the light kicked on was after about a tank and a half of gas had been used. I did text the code to the service rep, and this was part of his response:

"You are correct. That code is the same code as before. It is a oil pump stuck open code. We know it is a new oil pump though."

So, oddly enough, after filling up with gas to head home this morning the light went off. 300+ miles later, and it hasn't come back on. Still planning on taking it tomorrow.

Would your guess be the switch or the cylinder head?

 

How did everything go when you brought your vehicle back in? Any further updates at this point?

 

Light went off on the way home. Talked with adviser and we opted to drive it over the weekend. Intended to call yesterday and advise it was still running a little rough, but light had not been back on.

BUT ... it came on while driving to work yesterday. Drove straight to dealership and dropped it off. Got notified the light was off when they pulled it in, but it had stored the same code.

They've supposedly ordered a head for it and hope it will arrive today. Still not sure that what is causing the code, but I am at their mercy.

 

Strange how inconsistent it seems. Be sure to keep us posted!
