Warning Bell, but no Lights - Grand Caravan 2007 STX

[churcj2]

I noticed another user posted a similar problem in this thread:
thread ID=168597 (couldn't post URL).

About 2 or 3 months ago the first warning bing happened (no warning light). Now it's happening almost once a day (but never twice in the same day).

2 times the van felt like it was going to stall, but recovered. Once there was a loud bang from the rear. The other 20 times or so there's been no other symptoms then the warning bell.

General Observations
In almost all cases (I think all) this bing has occurred while accelerating (light to medium) away from a stop light or corner. Warning bing usually happens before hitting 30kmh (18.64mph). No warning light is present. Vehicle has less than 8000km (4971miles) and has one oil change.

Took it into the dodge services guys today, but after they checked the computer no codes found. As far as they can see no issues (Note warning bing went off on the way over).

Going take it back in this evening and they are gonna keep it for a few days and put a scanner on it and drive it to see if they can generate the warning bell.


Any thoughts on the issue?

I think the sound from the back was probably a backfire. That would indicate a timing problem. I'm guessing a bad coilpack right now. It could be a dozen other things tho.

2007 Van??? Don't accept anything but a complete resolution of the problem. No stalling, no "we don't know", and document the heck out of whats happening and require any diagnosis by the dealer be put in writing. I think you have a computer problem, but have no way to prove my observation to offer you. The LEMON LAW is certainly at play here, so go forward with that in mind. These vans are not bad products but stuff happens and you have to protect your investment. Keep us up to date on how things are going.
