    2003 Chrysler T & C
    I have a 2003 Chrsyler T & C which when I drive it for about a mile and a half the van gets hot then the oil light comes on and starts to ding! I checked the oil levels and they are fine. What could be the issue? Is this a thermostat issue?:(

    However, I would have the vehicle towed to Chrysler for servicing. Your description does not sound good--overheating and the oil light coming on are serious danger signs. If you drive the vehicle any more, you increase the odds of warping the aluminum head, damaging the valves, and more. It's possible you are already at that point.

    When you say the van gets hot, is it overheating or is it warming up?

    The oil light could be a bad oil sending unit or oil pump; check the oil pressure to rule out the pump.
