“Check engine light went on. The truck is still under warranty so we took it in to go arapahoe Dodge. They were unable to fix the problem. We are not sure if something is wrong w/ the engine because Dodge can not get the check engine light to turn off. The warranty we currently possess is only applicable until we reach 100,000 miles. We think Dodge should be able to fix the problem under the warranty.”
