NHTSA Complaint #11142476 — 2009 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN

WHEN I PUT MY VAN IN REVERSE 3 DIFFERENT TIMES THIS PAST WEEKEND, AND IN THE PROCESS OF BACKING UP SLOWLY IT SHUT OFF. TWICE I WAS BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY, & IT SHUT OFF IN THE TOWN ROAD. I HAD TO RESTART IT AND CONTINUE BACKING UP. ANOTHER TIME I WAS TURNING OUT OF A PLAZA, WHERE I HAD TO TURN, AND WHEN I BACKED UP IT SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF A TOWN ROAD. TRAFFIC STOPPED, FOR ME TO RESTART IT AND BACK UP. ON TUESDAY 10/23/18, I TRIED BACKING IT OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY TO BRING IT FOR SERVICE. THE RPM'S WENT HIGH, IT WASN'T MOVING, AND WAS SHAKING. I SHUT IF IT OFF AND HAD IT TOWED TO THE GARAGE. THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM IS UNKNOWN. IT IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE, AND I DIDN'T SEE ANY RECALLS FOR IT ONLINE, AND THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR THE UNSAFE CONDITION! I SAW HUNDREDS OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS FOR DODGE CARAVANS SHUTTING OFF.
