NHTSA Complaint #10553581 — 2008 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN

THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS ABOUT NOVEMBER 2 AND THEN AGAIN ON NOVEMBER 23. ONE THE FIRST OCCURRENCE I WENT TO OPEN MY DOOR AND THE HORN AND WIPERS AND WIPER FLUID STARTED GOING OFF. I JUMP IN MY RIDE WITH THE KEYS IN MY HAND AND THE VAN LOCKED ME IN I WAS UNABLE TO GET OUT AND FLUID WAS GOING ALL OVER MY GARAGE. FINALLY THE VAN LET ME OUT AND WE HAD TO PULL THE BATTERY TO GET IT TO STOP. IT HAD TO SIT ALL DAY BEFORE IT WOULD NOT DO THOSE THINGS. THEN YESTERDAY I WENT TO WALMART AND HEARD AN ANNOUNCEMENT THAT A VEHICLE WAS GOING CRAZY IN THE PARKING LOT. OF COURSE IT WAS MINE, I ONCE AGAIN HAD TO PULL THE BATTERY TO GET IT TO STOP. AFTER A FEW HOURS WE JUST PULLED ALL THE FUSES SO THAT WE COULD GET IT HOME. ALSO FOR MANY YEARS NOW THE TRACTION CONTROL AND BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON IN THE WINTER AND IT STARTS VERY FUNNY IN THE WINTER. I HAVE READ ONLINE THAT THIS IS HAPPENING TO MANY MANY PEOPLE AND IT IS HAPPENING AS IT IS GOING DOWN THE ROAD. I AM AT THIS POINT AFRAID TO DRIVE MY VAN SO I AM NOT SURE WHAT TO DO I OWE MONEY ON THIS THING. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER MANY TIMES AND THERE ARE NO CODES COMING UP SO THEY SAID IT WOULD PROBABLY BE LIKE $1000 JUST FOR THEM TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG. THERE IS PAGES UPON PAGES OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS, WHY HAS DODGE NOT DONE A RECALL ARE THEY WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO GET HURT? *TR
