My car makes a sound like it’s an electric car when I push on gas stops when I push on [brake](/topics-brake-dodge/) Mechanic's Assistant: Have you noticed an increase in fuel consumption? And how does the vehicle start—same as usual? Dont know if I noticed Mechanic's Assistant: What is the make/model/year of your car? 2014 dodge caravan actually I’d say yes because I just filled up and I’m already almost at quarter tank down and only drive to work 2 days since filling up Mechanic's Assistant: Are you fixing your vehicle yourself? What have you tried so far? The only thing I did myself was put in A.C. pro since A.C. was not running cold Mechanic's Assistant: Anything else you want the Mechanic to know before I connect you?

Hi! My name is \*\*\*\*\* \*\*\*\*\* I will be able to assist you. I’m sorry that you’re having trouble with your vehicle. Don’t worry though, we’ll be able to figure this out. Please understand that I do not know your knowledge or capabilities so I **may** need to ask questions to find out basic information to help solve your specific problem. Sometimes it may take a moment for me to respond because I may have to look up information about your concern. I appreciate your patience and will provide responses as soon as possible. Typically this is caused by a faulty torque converter or a loose air intake hose so I would check both of those first. Also check to make sure your transmission fluid is full and clean. Open the hood and check the air intake hose to the throttle body to make sure it's completely connected and tight. This could also be caused by a dirty air filter. My goal is to earn a 5 star rating experience. I hope that I have given you the information you needed. If you have any further questions about this concern, please feel free to reply back to me. If I’m not online at the time, I will respond ASAP when I get back. Thanks for being awesome and thank you for using JustAnswer!
