TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. ALSO, WHILE REVERSING, THE VEHICLE WOULD SEIZE AND THE ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT HAD TO TURN OFF AND RESTART THE VEHICLE FOR IT TO OPERATE PROPERLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BYFORD CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM DUNCAN (8703 US-81, DUNCAN, OK 73533, (580) 255-2067), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURES RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS ASSOCIATED WITH THE VIN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 157,000.

I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER 3 TIMES ALREADY. I WENT THIS MONTH TO GET A SAFETY INSPECTION AND WAS TOLD IT IS THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER AGAIN. DO YOU HAVE A RECALL ON CATALYTIC CONVERTER FOR THIS VEHICLE?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A LOSS OF ENGINE POWER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ALL THE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ANCIRA VOLKSWAGEN OF LAREDO (2701 BOB BULLOCK LOOP, LAREDO, TX), BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 97,000.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2010 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN VAN IN THE CITY LIMITS, WHEN I HIT THE BRAKE TO SLOW DOWN OR TO ANTICIPATE TO STOP, THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF WHILE THE CAR IS STILL IN MOTION. THE RADIO, LIGHTS AND AIR CONDITIONER DO NOT SHUT DOWN *(THEY STAY ON). WHEN THIS HAPPENS, I TAKE OUT THE KEY, REINSTALL IT BACK TO THE IGNITION SWITCH AND CRANK IT TO TURN THE ENGINE ON AND IT DOES TURN ON. THIS IS HAPPENING EVERYDAY, AT LEAST TWICE PER DAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS PLACED IN NEUTRAL AND STARTED TO REVERSE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED BEFORE THE FAILURE. AN UNKNOWN DEALER LOCATION WAS CONTACTED AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO THE MANUFACTURER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE HAD NO RECALLS; THEREFORE, HE WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 152,000.

MY DODGE GRAND CARAVAN, 2010, HAS STARTED CUTTING OFF ON ME WHILE DRIVING. MY STABILIZER LIGHT COMES ON, RPMS DROP TO 0, AND I LOSE MY POWER STEERING ALONG WITH LOW BREAK REACTION. I FEEL THIS IS VERY UNSAFE. I HAVE CHANGED SEVERAL SENSORS TO NO AVAIL. I STARTED DOING RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THEY HAVE SAFETY RECALL L25. CALLED MY LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP TO SET UP THE REPAIR, ONLY TO FIND OUT MY VAN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL, EVEN THOUGH IT IS IN THE ALOTTED YEARS (2008-2010). WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO. THIS COULD EASILY CAUSE A WRECK

VEHICLE SHUT DOWN WHILE GIVING GAS AT A SPEED OF 30 MPH OR LESS LOOSE STEERING AND BRAKES AND SLIP SLIDE WARNING SYMBOL APPEARS. REFERENCE NUMBERS THAT APPLY ARE 14V373000, 11V139000 AND RC-R03-15. AFTER I SHUT DOWN THE CAR IT I CAN RESTART TE CAR IMMEDIATELY. WHEN I TURN THE RADIO BACK ON THE RADIO COMES RIGHT ON WITHOUT THE SAFETY WARNING THAT NORMALLY APPEARS WHEN I TURN THE RADIO ON.

BEGINNING SEPTEMBER 2017 TO DECEMBER 2017 (PRESENT): MULTIPLE ISSUES RELATED TO ELECTRICAL: (1) ENGINE STALLED WHILE DRIVING AT 30 MPH (CITY STREET, DRIVING STRAIGHT), AND LOST POWER STEERING AND BRAKES; (2) ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT HAS BEEN COMING ON FROM SEPTEMBER 2017 TO DECEMBER 2017 (PRESENT). LIGHT OFTEN COMES ON WHEN POWER WINDOW BUTTONS ARE PRESSED; BATTERY HAS BEEN CHECKED; ALTERNATOR HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE (!) IN DECEMBER 2017 AND WARNING LIGHT STILL COMES ON; (3) WINDOWS ROLL THEMSELVES DOWN WHEN VEHICLE IS NOT RUNNING; THIS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES IN WINTER AND COLD WEATHER, THERE IS NO CHANCE THE WINDOW WAS LEFT DOWN BY THE DRIVER; (4) HEAD AND TAIL LIGHTS BLINK WHEN VEHICLE IS NOT RUNNING; (5) REAR SEAT POWER OUTLET NOT WORKING; (6) REAR DEFROSTER NOT WORKING; (7) SIDE MIRROR DEFROSTERS NOT WORKING. RESEARCH INTO OTHERS WITH SIMILAR PROBLEMS SUGGEST DEFECTIVE TIPM.

CAR STALLS OUT OF NOWHERE AND I LOSE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON AFTER IT'S STALLED. I HAVE NEARLY GOTTEN INTO AN ACCIDENT TWICE BUT IT HAS STALLED MORE THAN THAT. IT WAS IN MOTION FROM SPEEDS OF 25-40 MPH ON CITY STREETS. TWICE ON A TURN AND 6 TIMES GOING STRAIGHT.

THE VEHICLE HAS SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 15 TIMES OVER THE LAST 2 YEARS. WHILE DRIVING, USUALLY AT SLOWER SPEEDS BUT ONCE ON THE FREEWAY AND A FEW TIMES AT ABOUT 45 MPH, THE ABS LIGHT COMES ON AND THEN EVERYTHING SHUTS OFF -- ENGINE, POWER STEERING, BRAKES -- EVERYTHING. IT IS A MIRACLE IT HASN'T KILLED US YET. WE HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY CAN NOT REPLICATE IT OR FIND ANY CODE THAT IS THE PROBLEM. IT IS NOT THE IGNITION RECALL AS WE HAVE HAD THAT FIXED. DURING MY RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE.

WE HAVE A 2010 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN SXT WITH 133,000 MILES AND SINCE THE DAY WE GOT IT BACK IN JULY ALL IT HAS DONE WHILE DRIVING IS SHUT DOWN/SHUT ITSELF OFF. LIGHTS ON DASHBOARD WILL COME ON, FLASH AND VAN WILL JUST SHUT DOWN. KEY REFUSES TO COME OUT AT TIMES, HAVE NO HAZARD LIGHTS WHEN THIS HAPPENS, AND IT CAN TAKE ANYWHERE FROM 5-30 MINUTES FOR THE VAN TO EVEN START AGAIN. THIS HAPPENS ON THE INTERSTATE AND IN THE CITY, DOESNT MATTER REALLY WHERE WE ARE, EVEN AT STOP LIGHTS/STOP SIGNS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS AND MAKING A LEFT TURN, THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD BE DIFFICULT TO DIAGNOSE BECAUSE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 134,431.

2010 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN 108000 MILES. AT TIME OF THIS COMPLAINT, WE HAVE OWNED VEHICLE FOR ONLY TWO MONTHS. FOR NO APPARENT REASON AND NO WARNING; ENGINE WILL STALL. THIS HAS HAPPENED BOTH AT A STOP SIGN AND ROUNDING A CURVE AT 30 MPH. NO ENGINE - NO POWER STEERING. HOPING THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN ON THE HIGHWAY. ENGINE ALSO HAS A 'SURGE' TO IT AT AROUND 40 MPH; NOT SURE IF THE TWO ARE RELATED.

MY 2010 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN BEGAN HAVING ISSUES ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO. THE ABS LIGHT WOULD LIGHT UP AND BEEP ON AND OFF AND WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATED THEY COULD NOT DETERMINE THE PROBLEM WITHOUT IT OCCURING AT THAT TIME. AS MONTHS WENT ON THE PROBLEM BECAME WORSE. ALL THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS BEGAN TURNING ON AND OFF HEADLIGHTS WOULD DIMMER, CLOCK AND RADIO WOULD SHUT OFF. TOOK TO A FEW MECHANICS AND NONE COULD DETERMINE THE PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM GOT WORSE BATTERY LIGHT BEGAN STAYING LIT. WE THEN REPLACED THE BATTERY AND THE BATTERY CABLES. THE PROBLEMS PERSISTED, WE TOOK TO ANOTHER MECHANIC WHO STATED THE ALTERNATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. WE REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR AND THE VEHICLE WAS FINE FOR THREE WEEKS, THEN THE PROBLEM STARTED AGAIN ALL THE LIGHTS LIT UP, THE AIR WENT IN AND OUT, THE RADIO SHUT OFF AND OUT OF...

SUDDEN LOSS OF ENGINE, POWER STEERING AND BRAKES WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. HAPPENS AT LOW AND HIGH SPEEDS, DRIVING STRAIGHT AND WHEN TURNING. ALL ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS REMAIN OPERATIONAL. DEALER UNABLE TO DUPLICATE.

WHILE OPERATING VEHICLE THE ENGINE QUITS RUNNING AND THE VEHICLE BECOMES HARD TO HANDLE AS POWER STEERING AND BRAKES BECOME STIFF. THE ONLY CODE THAT COMES UP IS AN ABS FAILURE. STARTED ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO WITH AN OCCASIONAL HAPPENING NOW IT HAS HAPPENED UP TO 3 TIMES PER DAY. SEEMS TO HAPPEN AT SLOWER SPEEDS WHEN VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. CITY DRIVING SO FAR BUT CONCERNED ABOUT SAFETY OF THIS CONTINUING. DEALER SEEMS TO HAVE NO CLUE AT THIS POINT OR ARE JUST PLAYING DUMB BECAUSE THERE ARE A LOT OF FORUMS WITH PEOPLE DISCUSSING THIS ISSUE.

DRIVING AT 10-20 MPH, WARNING LIGHTS ESP ABR AND TRACING ICON FLASH ON AND OFF BEFORE ENGINE STALLS, HAPPENS WHETHER TURNING, OR DRIVING STRAIGHT. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILS INCLUDING POWER STEERING, RADIO FLASHES OFF, CLOCK GOES TO 12:00. OFTEN AT SPEEDS 35 -65 MPH, SAME LIGHTS FLASH ON AND OFF 10 TO 15 TIMES IN VARIOUS DISTANCES OF 3 MILES - 25 MILES BEFORE STALLING, DRIVING DOWN A WINDING, MOUNTAIN ROAD IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AT NIGHT AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 60-70MPH, SAME LIGHTS FLASHED ON AND OFF, THE SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE INSTANTLY DROPPED DOWN TO ZERO THEN QUICKLY FLIPPED UP TO CURRENT SPEED EACH TIME LIGHTS FLASHED, THEN THEY STAYED ON WHILE I PULLED OFF THE ROAD, IT STALLED IN PARK POSITION.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR, THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF UNEXPECTEDLY AND WE LOSE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. WE HAVE TO COAST TO A STOP, PUT IT BACK IN PARK AND RESTART ENGINE AND PROCEED. THIS HAPPENS WITH NO PREDICTABILITY WHICH MAKES THIS DANGEROUS. THE TIMES THAT IT HAS HAPPENED, THE ROADS HAVE BEEN WET OR SNOW COVERED. IT HAS ALSO HAPPENED ON DRY ROADS. TRAVELING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED MAKES THIS A DANGEROUS CIRCUMSTANCE. SINCE IT IS UNPREDICTABLE, WE ARE VERY NERVOUS TO TAKE THIS CAR ON A HIGHWAY. WE HAVE HAD THE CAR IN TO SHAPIRO LEON MOTOR SALES SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY CANNOT FIND ANYTHING THAT COMES UP ON THEIR DIAGNOSTICS.THEY DID REPLACE THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE. THIS DID NOT MAKE A DIFFERENCE. IT CONTINUED TO SHUT DOWN. THERE IS NO RHYME OR REASON. THEY HAVE DRIVEN IT BUT IT DID NOT SHUT DOWN FOR THEM. I...

WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS (35MPH OR SLOWER) THE VEHICLE ENGINE HAS STALLED 5 TIMES SINCE JULY OF 2016. THE STALLING ISSUE HAPPENS DURING THE FIRST DRIVE OF THE DAY. HAPPENS WITHIN THE FIRST 3-4 MILES OF THE DRIVE BEEN TO THE FCA DEALERSHIP TWICE UNABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THE POWER BRAKES AND STEERING GO OUT DUE TO THE ENGINE STALL. IT HAS HAPPENED ON STRAIGHT ROADS AND DURING CURVED ROADS. I'M ABLE TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL AND RE-START THE VEHICLE. THERE IS NO WARNING OR INDICATOR OF THE STALL, ONLY THE INCREASED EFFORT TO TURN OR STOP THE VEHICLE. DATES OF OCCURRENCE: 7/16, 8/7, 8/20, 9/3 & 9/17.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 105,000.

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR IT JUST SHUTS OFF ON ME AT RANDOM TIMES. I NEVER KNOW WHEN IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN. IT HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES IN 2 WEEK. I FOUND A RECALL ONLINE FOR THIS SAME THING BUT MY DEALER IS TELLING ME THEY ARE VIN NUMBER SPECIFIC AND MY VIN SAYS THERE IS NO RECALL SO THEY WON'T FIX IT. THIS IS DUE TO ONLY CHRYSLER ONLY COVERED UP TILL JUNE OF 2010 MODEL YEAR AND OUR VAN/VIN WAS MADE IN JULY OF 2010. PLEASE HELP ME GET THIS FIXED BEFORE I HAVE AN ACCIDENT AND INJURE MYSELF OR MY FAMILY THAT IS IN THE VAN MOST OF THE TIME OR SOMEONE ELSE. THEY NEED TO EXTEND THE RECALL FOR ALL OF 2010 MODEL YEAR, NOT JUST PART OF THE YEAR.

VAN STARTED AND KEY STUCK, THEN WHEN THE KEY GET FINALLY REMOVED THE ENGINE STAY ON AND WON'T SHUT OFF UNLESS REMOVE CABLES FROM BATTERY. WHEN THE BATTERY CABLES ARE CONNECTED AGAIN THE ENGINE START BY ITSELF WITHOUT A KEY OR THE IGNITION IS ON WITHOUT THE KEY AND THE ONLY WAY TO SHUT OFF THE VAN OR TO TURN OFF THE IGNITION IS TO DISCONNECT THE CABLES FROM THE BATTERY OR IT STAYS ON OR WON'T SHUT OFF. RUNNING THE BATTERY OUT AND YOUR GAS TANK EMPTY.

ON APRIL 17, DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE CRUISE CONTROL FAILED TO CANCEL TWO SEPARATE TIMES. APPLYING BRAKES ALSO DID NOT CANCEL THE CRUISE CONTROL. THEN, ENGINE STALLED AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS ON SAME TRIP TWO TIMES. SEVERAL DAYS LATER, ENGINE FAILED TO START. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS THE ENGINE STARTED. SUSPECT TIPM FAILURE.

ENGINE STALLS WHILE DRIVING IN MOTION-SO FAR HAS ONLY OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS BUT IS BECOMING MORE FREQUENT.ORIGINALLY SEEMED TO OCCUR ONLY WHEN NOT FULLY WARMED UP BUT NOW IS HAPPENING AT REGULAR OPERATING TEMPERATURES ALSO.IT HAS HAPPENED BOTH WHILE MAKING TURNS AND WHILE TRAVELING IN A STRAIGHT LINE. I OFTEN DON'T NOTICE IT HAS OCCURRED UNTIL I TRY TO ACCELERATE OR TURN AND DISCOVER THE LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND THAT THE TACHOMETER IS ON "O" RPMS. IT HAS BECOME A REGULARLY RE-OCCURRING ANNOYANCE AND HAS OBVIOUS DANGER POTENTIAL. I TOOK THE CAR TO A DEALERSHIP FOR THE RECALL ON THE WIN MODULE AND WAS TOLD THAT THE BRAND OF MODULE THAT THIS VEHICLE CONTAINED WAS NOT THE ONE THEY WERE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH AND WOULD THEREFORE NOT REPLACE IT. THEY ALSO CLAIMED THAT THE PROBLEM WE WERE HAVING WAS NOT RELATED TO THAT PART. CHECKING ONLINE...

IT HAS 39,711 MILES ON IT AND THREE TIMES THIS WEEK, 02/03&04/2016, THE ENGINE SHUT OFF INADVERTENTLY WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING IT AT SPEEDS UP TO 40 MPH. THE POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES DID NOT WORK AND SHE LET IT COAST TOP A STOP, WHILE BREAKING, PULLING OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THIS WAS ON A STATE ROUTE SHE PUT IT IN PARK AND THE CAR STARTED ALL THREE TIMES. TWO OF THESE INCIDENTS HAPPENED WHILE OUR 2 MIDDLE SCHOOL CHILDREN WERE IN THE CAR. I CALLED THE CHRYSLER COMPLAINT BUREAU AND THEY CHECKED MY VIN NUMBER AND TOLD ME MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THEIR RECENT RECALL INVOLVING THEIR WIN IGNITION KEY FOB PROBLEMS EVEN THOUGH OUR VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME ENGINE SHUT DOWN AS IN THEIR RECALL.

I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THE LONGEST TIME, FOR THE DODGE DEALERSHIP TO REPLACE THE PART, OR PARTS THAT THE RECALL PEOPLE, WAS RECALLING THE VEHICLE FOR. BUT INSTEAD, THEY KEEP TELLING ME THAT THE PART, OR PARTS HASN'T COME IN YET. I'VE BEEN HAVING ON GOING PROBLEMS SINCE FOREVER, WITH THIS VEHICLE DYING OUT ON ME, AND MY FAMILY;__TOO MANY TIMES.

SENT ON: THURSDAY_01/21/2016.

THE VANS ENGINE SHUTS OFF WHENEVER IT WANTS. DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD IT JUST SHUTS DOWN, ALL ACCESSORIES CONTINUE TO WORK SUCH AS FANS RADIO ETC. THE STEERING LOCKS UP BECAUSE THE ENGINE SHUTS DOWN. AS SOON AS I CAN STOP I PUT IT IN PARK AND TURN THE KEY. THE CAR IMMEDIATELY STARTS AND I CONTINUE TO DRIVE. THERE ARE NO WARNING LIGHTS ON AND NOTHING FLASHES ON THE DASH WHEN IT STALLS. IT JUST TURNS OFF AS IF I HAVEN'T TURNED THE KEY ALL THE WAY TO RUN.

I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH ON A CITY STREET WHEN MY ENGINE SHUT OFF. I LOST ALL ENGINE POWER; TANK WENT TO EMPTY AND IT WAS INCREDIBLY HARD TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL AS WELL AS BRAKE. THE BEST I COULD, I PULLED OVER, PUT THE VAN IN PARK AND RESTARTED IT. I DROVE HOME. I CALLED THE DODGE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THAT SINCE NO DASH LIGHTS CAME ON, NO CODES WOULD BE STORED, AND TO KEEP DRIVING THE VEHICLE UNTIL IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT SCHEDULED WITH THEM FOR 11/19/15 (THE SOONEST POSSIBLE APPOINTMENT.) I AM UNCERTAIN IF THIS IS RELATED; HOWEVER, SOMETIMES MY "KEY" DOESN'T LOCK OR UNLOCK THE VAN. IN AUGUST, TWO TIMES THE VAN WOULDN'T START RIGHT AWAY (2-3 TRIES) AND ON SEPTEMBER 6, IT DIDN'T START AFTER MULTIPLE TRIES. ABOUT AN HOUR LATER, IT STARTED WITH A GRINDING SOUND, WHICH SOUNDED...

MY 2010 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN STALLS WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING. THE STALLING HAS OCCURRED FOUR TIMES AND EACH TIME I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED. THE LAST TIME IT STALLED WAS OCTOBER 6, 2015 AND THE FIRST TIME SPRING 2011. THE STALLING HAS OCCURRED TWO TIMES ON A CITY STREET, ONCE ON THE HIGHWAY AND ONCE ON A HIGHWAY OFF RAMP. IT OCCURS AT ANY SPEED. WHEN THE ENGINE STALLS, THE VAN LOSES THE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. ONCE I CAN STOP THE VAN AND PUT IT IN PARK OR NEUTRAL, IT HAS RESTARTED. WHEN I TOOK THE VAN TO THE DEALER NO CODES COULD BE READ. THE ENGINE STALLING HAS OCCURRED PRIOR TO AND AFTER THE REPLACEMENT IGNITION PARTS WERE INSTALLED FROM THE MARCH 1, 2011 (NHTSA REFERENCE #11V139000) RECALL AND THE JUNE 26, 2014 (#14V373000) RECALL. THE ENGINE STALLING IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION BECAUSE IT OCCURS WITHOUT WARNING....

CAR STALLS WHILE I AM DRIVING IT. TOOK IT TO CAR DEALER AND IT DOESN'T POP UP WITH CODES, SO THEY SAY THEY CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG. HEAD OVER MECHANICS DROVE IT AND HE WAS DRIVING IT AT 30 MILES AN HOUR AND IT TURNED OFF AND HE SAID HE ALMOST WRECKED MY CAR. MECHANIC ALSO DUPLICATED IT, BUT NO CODES, SO THEY ARE SAYING THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO FIX. IT IS THE ONLY TRANSPORTATION I HAVE, BUT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AS WHEN IT STALLS I HAVE NO POWER STEERING OR BRAKES. I AM AT MY WITS END, BECAUSE I HAVE TRIED TO REACH CHRYSLER ITSELF AND ALL I GET IS CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY HAVE A CASE OPEN, BUT GETTING NO RESULTS. I ALSO HAVE CLUNKING IN MY TRANSMISSION, BUT AGAIN NO CODES. I AM AT MY WITS END AND DON'T KNOW WHERE TO...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. AFTER REMOVING THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION SWITCH AND EXITING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT DISCOVERED THAT THE ENGINE AND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS REMAINED ON.

TRANSMISSION FEELS LIKE IT IS GOING TO COME OUT OF THE FRONT END OF MY CAR. IT MAKES THE CAR MOVE FORWARD WHEN IT DOES IT. NOTIFIED DEALER AND THEY TRIED IT, IT DID NOT DO IT FOR THEM, SO THEY SAY THEY CAN NOT FIX IT. TRIED IT ONCE. UNDER WARRANTY, BUT NO CODES AGAIN.

THE HEATER HOSE Y PIPE IS DEFECTIVE. IT'S MADE OF PLASTIC, AND IT LASTED LESS THAN 5 YEARS BEFORE IT BURST AT THE SEAMS AND SPRAYED COOLANT ALL OVER THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT WHEN MY WIFE AND FOUR CHILDREN WERE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, LEAVING THEM STRANDED. THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO WARNING BEFORE IT BURST, AND THERE IS NO MAINTENANCE THAT WILL PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING. THE PART IS DEFECTIVE, AND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE DODGE MODELS. AN INTERNET SEARCH SHOWS THAT THIS PROBLEM IS HAPPENING EVERYWHERE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED AND WAS ABLE TO RESTART.

ON OR ABOUT DECEMBER 5TH 2014, MY WIFE ATTEMPTED TO START THE ABOVE MENTIONED VEHICLE WITH NO SUCCESS. WE HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED FROM COLONIAL BEACH, VA TO SAFFORD AUTOMOTIVE IN FREDERICKSBURG, VA TO BE REPAIRED. AFTER DIAGNOSING, THE WIN MODULE WAS FOUND TO BE BAD ALSO BOTH DOOR MODULES FLASHED BAD. WIN MODULE WAS REPLACED AND TWO NEW KEY FOBS HAD TO BE ISSUED AND PROGRAMMED. OUR COST WAS $906.65. THIS ITEM WAS ON THE RECALL LIST BUT WE WERE MADE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET. WE HAVE SPOKEN TO THE DEALER AND THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU BUT HAVE NOT BEEN SUCCESSFUL. WE FEEL IT IS UNFAIR THAT WE WERE MADE TO PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT WAS RECALLED. THIS EXPENSE CAUSED A SIGNIFICANT HARDSHIP TO OUR FAMILY. WE HOPE YOU ARE ABLE TO HELP US GET OUR MONEY BACK. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR HELP. WE ARE...

I AM DRIVING AND ALL OF A SUDDEN CAR SHUTS OFF, THEN I HAVE NO POWER STEERING OR BRAKES. CAN PUT IN NEUTRAL AND TURN IT BACK ON. HAS A HABIT OF DOING IT SEVERAL TIMES IN A DAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START AFTER NUMEROUS TIMES. THE FAILURE RECURRED CONTINUOUSLY.

I RECEIVED A LETTER CONCERNING RECALL R03/NHTSA 14V-373 IN JUNE OF 2015. ON FRIDAY, JULY 31, WE FOUND THAT THE VAN WOULD NOT START, BUT WHEN THE KEY WAS TURNED A FEW TIMES, IT WOULD. THINKING THAT THIS COULD POSSIBLY BE RELATED IN SOME WAY TO THE RECALL, I CAREFULLY READ THE DOCUMENT THAT STATED THIS COULD CAUSE UNINTENDED ENGINE SHUT OFF AND INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH. THE DOCUMENT SAID NOTHING ABOUT PROBLEMS INITIALLY STARTING THE VAN. ON TUESDAY, AUGUST 4, AS THE VAN WOULD ONLY INTERMITTENTLY START, I BROUGHT THE VAN TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP. THE LOCAL REPAIR SHOP DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A DEFECTIVE STARTER. AFTER THEY INSTALLED THE STARTER, THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY HAD THEN DONE SOME RESEARCH AND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL OUT FOR THIS PROBLEM. THEY STILL CHARGED ME $390.00. I DROPPED OFF THE VAN THIS MORNING WITH THREE CHRYSLER...

MY WIFE STARTED OUR VAN AND IT DIDN'T START. SHE GOT IT STARTED AND WENT A FEW MILES DOWN THE ROAD. AFTER STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN SHE TOOK OFF AND WAS GOING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE ABRUPTLY STALLED. SHE LOST POWER STEERING AND WAS ABLE TO GET IT STOPPED BEFORE GOING INTO THE DITCH. HAD SHE BEEN TRAVELING FASTER SHE PROBABLY WOULD HAVE WRECKED. SHE HAD MY TWO YEAR OLD WITH HER AND IS CURRENTLY 13 WEEKS PREGNANT. ....UPDATED 11/02/15*BF UPDATED 1/4/2016*JS UPDATED 11/22/2017*CN

KEY WENT FROM ON POSITION TO ACCESSORY WHILE CAR WAS STOPPED AT RED LIGHT. WE WERE ABLE TO RESTART AND CONTINUE ON OUR WAY. THIS COULD HAVE EASILY CAUSED A CRASH IF THE CAR WERE STILL MOVING IN TRAFFIC.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2010 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN, ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS, I HAVE LOST ALL POWER LEADING TO THE INABILITY TO STEER. LAST EVENT, I WAS IN A ROUND ABOUT AND, SWITCHING INTO NEUTRAL, WAS BARELY ABLE TO PREVENT A CRASH. I HAVE NOTHING ATTACHED TO MY KEY FOB. THIS IS THE KNOWN IGNITION PROBLEM AND I FIND IT UNACCEPTABLE THAT CHRYSLER THINKS IT IS OK TO WAIT UNTIL AUGUST TO FIX THIS. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. I DO NOT HAVE THE MEANS TO GET A NEW VEHICLE AND WITH 2 YOUNG CHILDREN, THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. PLEASE FORCE THEM TO MOVE FASTER TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM!!

THE VEHICLE JUST QUITE--IT DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD... THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE FROM CHRYSLER BUT THEY STOPPED 2 MONTHS BEFORE THIS ONE.. CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY SAID SORRY... IT HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES... THE RECALL WAS ON THE IGNITION MODULE WHICH WAS WHAT THEY CHANGED ON MY VAN..$850.00 DOLLARS WORTH. *TR

KEY FOB ON RECALL FOR OVER SIX MONTHS. ENGINE WILL OCCASIONALLY SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING. KEY SOMETIMES NOT RECOGNIZED AND MUST BE REINSERTED TO START. CAN NOT GET DODGE ON THE PHONE. DEALERS HAVE NO SUGGESTIONS. *TR
