The only saving grace as fuel drops is our fuel discount. With discount we are hovering around the two dollar mark. Handful of places are actually under that.

I'd actually like to see fuel drop even lower yet and see the FSC just disappear altogether...like in the good old days.....be interesting to see if you could run a straight for $1.05 a mile....

Anyone that was following my debacle of issues w/ my promaster be forewarned and consider other options for purchase. Chrysler deemed mine a lemon back in August. They ordered a 2015 and we're going to swap my 2014 for new. It's called their buyback program. Chrysler told the dealership that we can't use the 2014 for any vacations. Dealer laughed and said they expedite they will put thousands more miles on it in the 3-4 months it takes to order. Chrysler said that's ok. Well I put another 50K on it and now chrysler said that's never happened before and now want $13K for the extra 50K miles. Had we known that we would of just taken a 2014. Chrysler is back tracking now. I'm dealing w/ corporate people who report right to the ceo. I was told the ceo won't talk to me. I have his email so wife is proofreading my email and he'll receive soon. I put it like this to him. I'm seeking compassion from him you know kinda like the compassion they received in a bailout worth billions. What is $13K to a billion dollar company. They're trying to screw us. We will go to arbitration if necessary. They suggested trade it in on a new one. Haha I was getting buy back for $700 which is all taxes and title bs. Chrysler won't stand behind this product when the rode gets tough. We were told any upfit we do they will reimburse since most can't be taken out such as the roof air vent I installed. Now they say since I did it it's considered malicious destruction. Much more I'd like to say in not such nice words but I'm withholding. Bottom line is, I think there's better options and I'd consider them if I were you. We may end up keeping this promaster but will try like hell to dump it back on chrysler.

Electrical such as wiring harness shorting out at 57K. Driver side headlight goes out every 2 months. Other lights burning out first month. Fuseable link near battery blew out. That's the electrical side. The rest was the usual promaster like squeaky brakes as most have. Rear bushings bad from day 1 like most. It's more less the electrical that it became a lemon in their words. 50K since no issues. Hopefully continues but I'd still like a new one as they offered. They probably see 50K and no issues and now are reconsidering lol.
