NHTSA Complaint #10397455 — 2010 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN

WHILE TURNING A CORNER ON MY WAY TO WORK AT 5:30 AM, MY 2010 GRAND CARAVAN WITH 13,835 MILES TOTALLY WENT DEAD, I HAD THE LIGHTS, BLOWER ON, THE RADIO ON AND THE REAR DEFROSTER ON, AND EVERYTHING WENT DEAD. NO STEERING AND THE BRAKES WERE OUT. SINCE I WAS TURNING LEFT, I HAD TO CROSS 4 LANES OF TRAFFIC WITH NO POWER. I WAS ABLE TO PULL INTO A PARKING LOT, PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND IT RESTARTED. I DID HAVE TO TURN THE KEY TO THE OFF POSITION AND PUT IT IN PARK, AS PUTTING IT IN NEUTRAL AND TURNING THE KEY DID NOTHING. I CHECKED THE DODGE WEBSITE FOR THE RECALL INFORMATION AND IT SAYS THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT IN THE LISTING OF RECALLED VEHICLES. I HAVE SENT AN EMAIL TO DODGE. THIS DID HAPPEN 2 TO 3 PREVIOUS TIMES WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, BUT THE CAR JUST SEEMED LIKE IT WAS LOSING POWER, BUT THEN IT CAME BACK TO LIFE-IT DID NOT HAVE A TOTAL LOSS OF POWER AND IT DID NOT REQUIRE ME TO RESTART THE ENGINE. *TR
