Consumer Description

PURCHASED USED 2009 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN SXT IN 2/2013. VEHICLE HAS LOST POWER MULTIPLE TIMES AT VARIOUS SPEEDS (5 MPH TO 35 MPH). EACH TIME IT HAS BEEN TRIGGERED BY A "BUMP" IN THE ROAD (IE. SMALL POTHOLE, RAILROAD TRACKS, ETC. SOMETIMES WHILE TURNING A CORNER, OTHER TIMES NOT). EACH INCIDENT HAS REQUIRED CAREFULLY GETTING TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND PUTTING THE CAR IN "PARK" AND RESTARTING. HAVE ALREADY BEEN TO ONE MECHANIC WHO COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT. WILL TRY A DODGE DEALER NEXT. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT DODGE HAS NOT LOOKED FURTHER INTO THIS ISSUE CONSIDERING THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE ALONG WITH THE FACT THAT IT HAS RECALLED THE 2010 MODEL FOR THIS VERY REASON. ALSO, VERY SORRY THAT I TRADED IN A 2001 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN FOR THIS VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURE DATE FOR MY VEHICLE IS 12/08. I HOPE SOMEONE WILL INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE FURTHER. HAVING THE ENGINE LOSE POWER WITH NO WARNING WITH TWO YOUNG CHILDREN IN THE BACKSEAT IS ABSOLUTELY TERRIFYING. CLEARLY, THE 2010 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN RECALL FOR ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS HAS NOT INCLUDED ALL DODGE GRAND CARAVANS WITH THIS PROBLEM SINCE THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS LISTED ON THIS PAGE. *TR
