We received a "recall" notice for air bag module possible malfunction. We took the vehicle to a dealer who informed us that the repair part was not available and on back-order. One month later our vehicle was involved in an accident and the airbags did not deploy. I contacted chrysler, who sent an inspector service to examine the vehicle. All damage was done to the front passenger side fender. I received a "form letter" stating that upon inspection, the vehicle was already disassembled and no manufacturing flaw was found. We received notice a few days later that the part was now in and available for repair. The letter apologized for any injuries and hoped that the driver was well on the way to recovery. No injuries occurred. The letter was from the office of "general counsel" my goal was simply to make them aware of how incredibly stupid it is to send out a recall notice and not have the part available for the next 45 days. They seemed unconcerned that this could have been a very serious flaw in the air bag deployment system.

Wiring harness leading to driver side door became pinched/ chaffed resulting in deactivation of side airbags.wiring harness replaced.

Head lights flickered several times and then stayed off. This has continued intermittently since november. Sometimes the headlights stay on, sometimes they don't. 8/1/2014-headlights don't work at all. I have taken to a dodge dealer in december who told me it would cost $700 but couldn't guarantee it wouldn,t continue to happen. I have taken it to 2 private garages who have told me the same thing. It's not the bulbs. They believe it is a problem in the electrical system.

Vehicle purchased in puerto rico with 40,000+ miles; replaced a rotor & all pads about 65,000 miles. Could hear noises coming from brake mechanism (noises went away upon replacement of brakes with oem parts).around 70,000 miles the vehicle started locking itself without warning, at least twice with keys inside. Imagine a hot day and a child in a restraint seat and the car locked. I did notice that about the same time, the power lock switch on the drivers side became inoperable.now at 78,892 the whole electrical instrument panel went on the blink (blank), except for the digital mileage indicator & 'gate ajar' . I stopped for groceries & when i wentto crank the starter solenoid, nothing happens. Had to tow home & am told that local dealers are charging $1,000 to reprogram the computer.... No wonder less & less people are buying american brand cars.any suggestions?i do appreciate the nhtsa efforts.thankyou!

2008 dodge caravan.consumer writes in regards to wireless ignition mode recall.the consumer stated she received a recall letter three months ago, and the part is still on back order.

We pulled out at night and started driving when suddenly and without warning the exterior headlights and fog lights started flashing, the interior warning lights started flashing, the wind shield wipers started going on and off, the windshield washer fluid started spraying, the lights on the gauges were flashing, and the ignition started "dinging" like when you turn it on. Granted this was at night so we lost headlights for several seconds at a time until we could get stopped. I had my 4 year old daughter in the car and my wife. Luckily we weren't going very fast and were able to get pulled over without being involved in a wreck. After turning the car on and off a couple of times and checking under the hood the problem ceased.fast forward a few months. Similar incident occurred during the daytime. Basically the exact same issue as above. Luckily this was during the day and the headlights aren't as important. Once again after turning the vehicle on and off a couple of times and getting out of the vehicle to check under the hood it ceased.fast forward a few weeks. Issue occurred once again during the day. At this point we refused to drive the vehicle at night as we deemed it unsafe at night with the potential that we could lose lights while driving 60 mph and have zero visibility. We were never able to get the lights to stop going on and off and the issue with the van is still occurring. I've read similar stories from other dodge owners and most have never been able to solve the issue even after spending thousands of dollars. This is going to seriously hurt or kill someone and a search regarding the lights flashing online for dodge caravans around this year makes it clear that there is a serious issue regarding the van. I also checked and dodge claims the other recalls have already been done on this van.

Car was not running and keys were not in the ignition, they were laying on the dash. No one was in the vehicle. When the passenger's front door was opened the horn started honking and windshield washer started spraying (wipers were not activated).it lasted only a couple seconds and stopped. It also activated the driver's side mirror's auto dim feature. Once i was on the road discovered it also prevented the car from shifting out of first gear. I tried manually shifting and slipping it from drive to neutral but that had no effect. The indicator light showed no response to the manual shifting it just remained on the "d". The van did go into neutral and the indicator light showed "n". I didn't try the van again until 24hrs later and everything was working fine. After researching online i see there is an obvious problem with the tipm and will be replacing it. If this would have occured in heavy traffic there would have been a definite safety hazard issue. I was lucky it happened at home and it only lasted a few seconds.others have not been that lucky!! this is a serious issue that if it hasn't already it very easily could have deadly consequences.make the recall!!

Tipm in van is bad, car acting completely crazy.

Vehicle has been shutting off while driving. Electrical system has been powering down then repowering. Brakes have been replaced four times rotors twice. Power door locks work half the time. Air conditioning has problems. Power sliding doors only open by hand.

In addition, the vehicle's alarm would automatically sound with no intrusion. The vehicle was taken to ginn chrysler dodge jeep (5190 us-278, covington, ga 30014) for diagnostic testing and repairs. The diagnosis information was unavailable. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 100,000.

My 2008 caravan originally had a recall an replacement of the electrical sliding door that were faulty an could catch fire. Now that was replaced, it's already failed and caused a hole new safety issue. If the door is not completely closed the door ajar light doesn't come on and the door flys open while in motion. Both doors have completely failed and no longer function as intended. This concerns me since i have small children an their hands or limbs could be smashed by the door while in motion.

Brake system issues and possible front-end issues in general, electrical issues. Had to replace front tires at 18729 miles. Brakes pads and rotors needed replaced at 24130 miles. Dealer only agreed to cover rotors after much disagreement. Stated everything else was normal wear and tear. Check engine light been coming on since late 2009, keep taking it in- stated problems with o2 sensors. Problem still not fixed. Dealer states we must need new computer, and that will be covered by warranty. Brakes have been making screeching/rattling noises again, and mileage is now at 29000 miles. Dealer states nothing wrong with brakes, that it must be brake dust. Dealer just does not want to take ownership or pay to cover- there is absolutely an issue that they will not admit. Instrument panel has failed 4 times while driving, including loss of power steering. There is something very wrong with this van.

Received l25 recall notice for my 2008 dodge caravan (wireless ignition node ~ unintentional movement) in early june.placed 3 calls to local dodge dealership and they displayed no sense of urgency whatsoever to address this issue.it is clear that, while they boast an excellent sales force, they are not interested in addressing low-yielding recall issues.my last two calls were met with, "oh, your part isn't in yet.we'll give you a call when it arrives."this goes against the spirit of what is outlined on the recall notice, where the defect is to be remedied in a timely fashion.my pontiac grand am had a similar recall (14350) and it was addressed same day at a local dealership (alan webb chevrolet of vancouver).information for dealership to which this complaint is assigned:dick hannah dodge3517 ne auto mall dr, vancouver, wa 98662(360) 944-3276

Many issues, appear to be related to the tipm.headlights intermittently stop working, as do the windshield wipers(various times,when driving/when starting the car). Car horn beeps when driver door is opened.air conditioner/heater intermittently stops working (when driving), will usually come back on after pulling over and restarting the car.very dangerous in the winter.

Vehicle started with doors suddenly and repeatedly locking and unlocking then drivers lock switch stopped working then week later passengers at the same time radios cd player started trying to eject cd repeatedly with out even being on or having one in it also at same time fuel gauge stopped working. Now this morning wife coming home from work braking system started to malfunction almost causing a crash. Upon simple web search this seems to be common occurrence with 2008 grand caravans electrical system repeatedly hearing or seeing as the case may be a faulty tipm (totally integrated power module) as told by dealership mechanics. It seems it is causing so many different problems such as those just described to headlights shutting off,wipers coming on horn blowing ect,ect,ect. How many people need to die before you take action. A copy of this will be sent to senators,congressman,and news media maybe if it makes the news someone wont have to die due to failure to act by your agency or dodge and chrysler.

The van will be sitting in driveway and the horn starts blowing, the wipers will come on and washer motor will come on too and the headlights come on also sometimes the engine will turn off going down the road. We can't drive it very far my wife drives it to work a few blocks away but that's about it we are afraid to drive it anywhere.

September 11, 2014 received recall l25/nhtsa 14v-373. Did not hear anything for three months, called chrysler said no parts available, waiting on manufacture. Today i was wondering if they had made the parts yet? called five different times, each time on hold for a minimum 25 minutes. I would soon like to take grandchildren on vacation, but am concerned about this safety factor. Does anyone know how many years it takes to manufacture these safety parts?

Ignitionswitche was replaced on a recall. But now this ignitin switches is not working right. Some times the van will not start. I had it check out and its the ignition switche that was replaced on my car because of the recall. What do i do now to get this replaced again. The van may shut off when driving.

2008 dodge caravan, while driving at 65 mph, engine quit, all dash electronics went dead. Coasted to stop, put in park, restarted fine, continued to destination.problem has occurred 2 previous times, once while turning a corner at or below 5mph, same result, and once at approx 20mph, again same result.checked, and switched keys, tested ignition switch, wiring to battery / fuse box, all ok, with no excessive corrosion, or loose connections.attempted to recreate problem by wiggling wiring, switch, keys, with no electrical failure.

It was sometime in 2012, i don't remember the exact date. We were leaving walmart, when we tried to start the van, horns blasted, lights flashed, window washer spit water, wiper blades started. This went on some time before we could get it to stop. Once, it stopped at a red light and would not start back, it died in the middle of the highway twice. And several times it would start the horn blowing, etc., when it was put into reverse. We called a wrecker once, had it towed to a dodge dealership. They put it on an analyzer and said they could find nothing.several months later, after it quit in the highway again, we took it back. They put it on analyzer, charged us $d180.00. Said the problem was the ignition key. Told us they had no idea when the part to fix it would be available. I called dodge headquarters, customer complaint, was given the run-a-round, told us they would put us at the top of the list. I said, so you're saying if we are in the middle of a highway, or interstate, dodge doesn't care if we wreck and are all killed, possibly even others. He said no, he wasn't saying that, so i said, so what are you going to do? he said nothing. So now we are stuck with an unsafe vehicle (we only have one) which we are scared to death to use. Can we do anything else?

Our 2008 dodge caravan was parked in a parking lot for 10 minutes when out of nowhere the lights start flashing, horn blaring, wipers running, and could not get it to stop. This has happened intermittently five or six times with varying degrees of length (2 seconds to 30 minutes).last time it happened i drove it to the chrysler dealer with the wipers and wiper washers squirting (i had since removed the horn fuses).they charged $136.00 to look at the codes and tell us they can't replicate the problem, so screw you.we're afraid to drive it as when the problem occurs it will only drive in first gear.it's interesting to see that there are others with the exact same symptoms and the fingers are pointing to the tipm. I'd like to sell it but can't really do so with a clear conscience.this sucks.

Vehicle began having intermittent, involuntary activation of wipers, squirters, horn, lights and locks. These outbursts were unpredictable and would happen whether vehicle was running or not, sometimes when the key was not even in the vehicle. There was no way to predict the behavior, or to stop it once it began.

Was driving home at night when randomly my lights started flashing, horn started blaring,windshield wipers started going off,washer fluid was spraying everywhere.locks were locking and unlocking. I ended up driving into someone's lawn as i could not see properly with poor lighting and all the distractions. Once i got home the vehicle continued to be possessed even without the key in the ignition.i was finally able to get everything to stop after unplugging the battery.upon internet research it didn't take long to realize it was tipm fuse box issue, i have found several other customers with the same box having the same issues.i have gone to the junkyard 3 times and grabbed a used tipm fuse box replacement.the first replacement the car would not start.second replacement there was a lot of trouble lights on the dash and the odometer did not work.with my most recent replacement the headlights don't work.so including my original tipm , that's 4 faulty tipms. Do you notice a problem or pattern here?

On several occasions, while driving at various speeds and in various road conditions, this dodge caravan did lose complete engine power.the most frightening was at 70mph on the freeway at night! a very smooth stretch of freeway and the headlights went out and the engine stopped running. Recall r03/nhtsa14v-373 was preformed on this dodge but engine power loss persist. It would appear that a power module could be the problem and dodge knows it. This is a potentially dangerous and lethal situation. During this engine shutdown,critical elements of vehicle safety are lost including effective braking, steering andairbag deployment mechanicals.

Vehicle wipers and washers start on their own, horn will blow, lights flicker, door locks open and close, vehicle will not shut off or sometimes will not start. This has happened both while driving and stationary.

I have been on the list to get this recall repaired and dealer says they only get parts to repair 3-4 vehicles per month and there are over 200 vehicles on their list.if this is the case then it will be years before my car can be repaired.i think this is unacceptable.what else can i do?

Repeating problem with car just shutting off.happens most often when making a turn. Did not happen during the cold winter months but started happening again this year once spring started.

Driving 55 mph the first time horn started blowing, lights flashing wipers front and rear running, washer fluid shooting out front and rear engine would not shut off for about 3 min. Second time it happened the car was not running and the lights started flashing and horn blowingwith wipers running. Next time i was parked with motor running horn started, wipers front and back i unhooked the battery and it kept blowing mashed the remote crank and it killed the engine but would not crank back for about 1 hour. Today 01/30/15 we were merging into traffic on the interstate and the van died the wipers front and back went crazy the fluid sprayed the horn blew, i pulled to the side of interstate unhooked the battery and the horn stopped i took out the horn fuse waited about 30 min.

I stopped and parked the vehicle at a store. I turned the switch off but could not remove the key. I tried several times by restarting the vehicle and shutting it down but was unable to remove the key from the ignition switch.

I drove across the street to the post office and the same situation occurred with the same results. There have been no further incidences since. I went to the dodge dealer and they said (essentially) "sorry charlie, it's your problem. We haven't received parts to service your recall".

Chrysler recall l25 / nhtsa 14v-373contacted chryslers hot line first week of february of 2015.they reported the same thing given in original notice. In june or july of 2014 "....when parts are available,will notify...".is this being handled in a "reasonable time"?

Tipm has failed stuck in limp mode. Caused engine light fuel issues and stalling

We turned the car on and the windshield wipers, car horn, and lights all started going off.we could not put the car in drive or reverse.even when we turned the keys to the ignition off position the wipers, horn, and lights continued to move and flash and sound.only once we took the keys out of the ignition did it stop.when tried to start the car again but the problem persisted.we could not get our car to drive.

First is a recall---r03 wireless ignition-the dealership(byford, duncan, ok) in june, 2015 on my first visit the part was not available; after a second visit and two phone calls-"the part is not available"; the last phone call i was told to make an appointment so that "they can see the vehicle and then try to order the part". Contacted the chrysler group recall assistance center(on hold 30 minutes) and gave them info; they took name and number so they could contact the dealership about their "recall parts inventory"2nd complaint brakes-bought vehicle new; have to replace front brake pads every 30000 miles and rear brake pads every 50000 miles; chrysler recall replaced the pads the first time at their expense--per them faulty brake pads not caliper; local mechanic doing the 6 brake jobs thought maybe a new caliper redesign was the problem; chrysler has no follow up to the initial problem

All gages are flashing with a binging sound all gages are jumping and turning signals only work when they want while parked and driving. Also driver side window buttons and locks are not working.

When clicking off my high beams, my wipers came on.i was unable to shut them off.at the same time my high beams, turn signals and rear wiper stopped working.while my front wipers were going non-stop despite being shut off, the washer fluid did not work (front and back). When i took it to my garage i was told the tipm had to be replaced but it was currently on national back order and they didn't know when they could get their hands on one. For the time being i have had to make due with disconnecting the battery for 7-10 minutes and then all systems work again, i am not sure how long this will work for but currently the only option.

Windshield wipers come on all by themselves and can not be turned off.all gauges on front dash short in and out, including blinkers.difficult to concentrate on driving when the wipers are going, there's a alert "ding" sound going off, and gauges are going crazy on the front dash.dealership states that it is tipm module and want $900 to replace it.

The switch housing in the drivers door that controls the windows on my 2008 dodge caravan caught fire when my daughter rolled down her window on the passenger side. I was driving down the road at the time and was only a couple of blocks from the house. Dodge has recalled the 2010-2014 models with the 3rd row electric vent windows which my vehicle also has. I reported the incident to fca,the parent company of dodge, and was told i would receive a call from their investigative unit in 48hrs. That was more than a week ago.multiple calls later and they still have not bothered to call me back.

8/24 - the van was parked in a parking lot with my husband & son sitting in it.another driver came to claim their nearby dodge caravan & beeped open his van, at that point our wipers started going full speed & the fluid shot up.it stopped for a minute then started going full strength again with the horn going non-stop, the lights all started flashing, & the doors all locked.the key fob was in the ignition but in the off position.my husband tried unlocking the doors with the key fob (pulled out of the ignition), tried using the indoor unlock button but all was unsuccessful.we were able to manually open the doors from the inside.all of this kept going for about 5 mins until i climbed in the back to open the side doors to air out the car & get my 2 year old out.when i manually unlocked the driver side back door everything stopped. We were able to drive home without further incident that day.8/25 - we were driving back to chicago when the wipers did the same thing but nothing else.8/26 - i was driving to work when all the doors unlocked & all the warnings on the control panel lit up.i was able to pull over to the side of the road and when i started driving again the rpm started going crazy like it couldn't shift gear.i pulled over again, turned the van off & let it sit for a few minutes.i was able to continue my drive to work & got home ok.

I had just got up to 50 mph and the engine shut down. I was able to pull the van off the road without incident. I just seen on the news chrysler is having a computer problem. A light was on that was not on when i started the van. It is called the transmission range indicator.when i put the van in neutral it restarted and this light went out. Chrysler went to far out of its way to put an option in the computer for changing this component electrically. It is not necessary and could leave you stranded with a van full of kids in yellowstone.

Originally had taken car in for recall. The recall was for both doors. The dealer had delivered the car and told me i would be contacted for repair on the passenger door once the parts were in stock. After months of waiting i finally contacted them and was told that the parts were in stock. I made the appointment and when i was set to drop off the van i was told that i was going to be charged because it has been put in as complete in the dealers records but showed parts not installed. I was told to contact dodge and left the van there overnight. The next day i spent a lot of time on the phone to get the runaround with dodge. I picked up the car and didn't have the repair done. My family has used the van ever since. I have always put off repairing it because it was a recall that broke down as described in the recall verbatimand is a hazard for multiple reasons and i would blame dodge directly if anything were to happen. I have contacted them several times through out the last few years trying to rectify this egregious situation. I was told that the records indicate only one side was repaired however the recall still to this day shows complete. I take pride in buying and maintaining an 'american made' product and would have fixed this several times over had it not been for principle. Dodge does not seem to be concerned for a customer who is a family man. I protect my family with my own life. It is difficult to only use one door when parking on a busy street with 2-5 children who are forced to get out onto a busy street if that is the only option. It can be very risky. Even picking them up from school they are made to walk to the drivers side of the car even thou the pick up side is on the passenger. Secondly my main issue is a short while driving. Protruding wires could be pinched if the door is used which could lead to a fire or fault in the door functionality

The dash lights, head lights, and windshield wipers randomly go on and off. When this happens, i have no control over the headlights, wipers, turn signals, power windows, or door locks. I have not been able to find a mechanic who can definitively tell me what this is. It happens sporadically, sometimes with weeks in between incidents.

My headlights are flickering i see many car complaints about the tipm relay and want it fixed under the recalli could have had a car accident this issue should have been fixed

On a highway ramp entering the highway the horn on my van started to blow on & off, at the same time the windshield wipers were wiping & the spray was spewing at me at high speed. The lights blinked on and off & the door locks were going up & down. The radio was blasting as well. I came to a stop before entering the highway to try & figure things out but nothing worked. For 5-8 minutes i sat there in fear it would catch on fire. I put inpark, turned it off & took the keys out.it continued to do all the activity with the keys in my hand! when it stopped & i tried to starting it. It started & ran ok till it happened not more than 15 minutes latter on my way to the dealer. This time it lurched forward at a faster speed with everything wiping, blowing, spewing & blinking which caused me to drop it into neutral & brake to a stop in the median. This time when it became quite it wouldn't start again & was towed to the dealer. They saw the codes it left but couldn't determine the cause. They said they could keep it thru the weekend & try again on monday or i could take it & bring it back when it did it again. This is the car i drive my family in all the time. Myself & 4 young girls plus friends. Although i am thankful to have only had to pay for towing i am very upset that they couldn't find the cause. I am essentially driving a ticking time bomb. This could happen again at any time, anywhere & with a car full of kids! i have said from day 1 that the van had electrical problems & no one took me serious. The only thing the dealer found that raised a red flag was that the windshield wipers come on when you use the turn signal - this has been a chief complaint all along. My family has had dodges for a long time, have been loyal customers & employees. We expect better from a company we've grown to depend on & refer others to for their next vehicle.

All of a sudden, "bad key" message appeared on dash when using key and car would not start.dealer saying replacement of win module and key is necessary.other vin #'s for other 2008 dodge caravans have recall on the remote keyless entry transmitters, dec 2008, but not my vin number for some reason.

Neither high or low beam lights come on. When i turn them on, they will blink three times, and nothing else. Had two mechanics work on it, but couldn't figure it out.

When i tried to unlock it the horn honked but it did unlock and when i turned the key it started but the horn honked again. I couldn't get the heater or radio to work. I put it into reverse it honked and kepted honking. I turned it off and thought that would clear everything. Then i couldn't get it started. We went back into the store and when we came back out i couldn't get the frount doors to unlock. When i pushed the unlock button it honked and the windshield wipers and washer started working. I managed to get back in by getting into the back doors. I was talking to the tow person when i tried to start it again and it started but the lights didn't work. The fog lights worked so i thought i might try to limp it home. I went a back way but it wouldn't shift out of 2nd gear. I finally stopped and called for the tow. The next morning i took it to a mechanic. Everything was working fine. They looked at it and couldn't make do any of the things i discribed. The computer guy checked it out and said the part that needed replacing was not available because there have been so many problems with it there is a 2 year backlog making them. Dodge knows about the problem so if they can't get those parts out i think they should replace the car. Why should the buyer be put in the position of traiding in the car when we bought it in good faith and intended to keep it.

I was driving the van on the highway and it went crazy horn blaring windshield wipers going real slow and fluid going everywhere i could not see because the fluid was coming out faster then wipers were going!!! i had to pull over until all the windshield fluid was gone. When i got home my husband had to unhook the battery because the horn was still blaring and it was 10.30 at night and i have neighbors with children sleeping.

We have a 2008 caravan when the weather is cod outside the dash lights come on and off and the wipers come on by themselves while the seat belt chime keeps going off.can't find any answers on what the problem is and why it only does this when cold.

Vehicle horn, wipers, fluids and locks simultaneously operating without driver initiating. This is the 9th occurrence without dealership accepting our story-requesting us to recreate it for them. Runs down battery when car not running-if it happens overnight, etc... On third battery now. Obviously unsafe and humiliating experience. Last week had to drop elementary aged daughter off at drop-off and caused great confusion. Yesterday woke neighbor baby and family sleeping.

When starting my car in the am the horn beep wipers went off with washer fluid as i started to drive i noticed the car wasn't shifting out of 1st gear. Got to work about half a mile away and when i put the car in reverse it did it all again this time non stop and the doors locked and wouldn't let me unlock them. Took it to dealer and the said it was my anti theft so they just reset it. Everything was fine till the last week of august when it did it again this time while i was driving on the highway. Went back to the dealer and they replaced the tip module. And so far so good. Fingers crossed hope it doesn't happen again!!

Just resolved an ignition recall problem on the vehicle because of problems with independent wipers going off, horn going off,vehicle stalling while driving and doors locking and unlocking..dodge replaced ignition and win module but problem began when i tried using ac or heater..i just brought the car 2 months ago and it has stalled on hgihway 3 times and on the road numerous times. Im afraid to drive the car.the check engine light turns on but goes out intermitently.sounds like the itpm problem everyone is having ..cant afford another 2000 dollars to fix

My wife was driving out the complex apartments to drop off the kids at school, when she hit a speed bump and the van suddenly shuts off by itself, she said the power steering was hard to move so she set the van in parking and after the third try it started on. Before that i had trouble starting it and took the battery for a check up and it was good, then i went to the dealership and said it need it an computer update, so they did it. After a few weeks i had the same problem. A month ago i took it to another dealership because i heard on the tv about the safety recall on this models and told me they order the part and that it will take three days to get it...its bean over a month and had no answer from them.

If vehicle is turned left or right while under acceleration then esp activates the abs system and causes front brake calipers to activate in the corresponding turn and abruptly stops the vehicle.this is a safety concern as this occurs when crossing another lanes of oncoming traffic.i feel this issue caused caused by the failure of the steering angle sensor within the sccm of the vehicle.

The engine in our 2008 dodge mini van will intermittently surge when at a stop with your foot on the brake or when in park.this has continued to plague us for 3 years now with the latest incident occurring sept. 7th, 2014.

This has been a continuing problem since i bought car,car just dies while you are driving and you have nothing but until you get car stopped. Then it will restart and drive fine.it happens at all speeds but mostly on the interstates. The dealer did replace the ignition switch while under warranty but not until i went thru 3rd tier myself.it has started again and the dealer can not duplicate it so they return it with nothing done.i even let them keep it 3 days while they put it through their email 3rd tier system.only answer back was there are no notices about it and the last report i got back was nothing done. It happens at all speeds from 65 down to 5 when making a turn at a red light. This is dangerous and i keep fighting them and documenting it every time i take them in.there doesn't seem to be a way for me to complain to chrysler myself so i am hoping that this will start. I also googled dodge caravans stalling and there are lots listed.

2008 dodge caravan. Consumer writes in regards toproblem with vehicle airbag *tgwthe consumer stated a recall was issued and it was performed by an authorized dealer.the fix was supposed to prevent the air bags from deploying.

Wiring harness leading to driver side door became pinched/ chaffed resulting in deactivation of side airbags.wiring harness replaced.

This issue has happen several times as my family is driving along,the engine just dies for no apparent reason. This has happened several time and when the engine dies you loose all power, steering,abs assist with the brakes and it is very hard to turn. This issue ended the other day when my wife was going to school and the engine died on a off ramp on interstate 10 in mississippi. When she got it stopped it restarted but would not move in drive. When she put the van in drive it would die, she put the van in reverse and it backed up fine. Got it off the off-ramp along the side of the road called a tow service and had it towed to a local garage. The transmission had veiled related to the stalling problem that has been reported several times and was written in a news paper. This is a major problem that dodge has with these van and is related to the failure of the transmission. This issue needs to be fixed by dodge not the consumer. The power train warranty which was issued by dodge as long as you are the original owner should cover this issue but dodge says it does not. Please assist with this issue as the recall should be issued on these transmissions.

The incident happened on a 2008 dodge caravan (3.3l / 4spd) with 115,562 miles (spent its entire life in michigan). During a right-hand turn from a stop there was a loud clunking noise that occurred just after the throttle was pressed and the vehicle was immediately disabled (no more power/torque to the wheels with throttle) followed by a large plume of smoke (from under the hood and came in through the vents). The roads were dry but the weather was cold (~25f). Upon further inspection, it was a right halfshaft barshaft that had fractured/failed and it did so without warning. There was significant corrosion that occurred under the damper that weakened the shaft and that's where the fracture took place under load. The smoke was a result of barshaft fracture - the boot tore/inboard joint came apart (with vehicle movement / throttle) and grease sprayed all over the hot engine. This occurred on a very busy city street (4 lanes) and because the halfshaft broke the vehicle no longer had park (which was only discovered after getting out of the vehicle when the vehicle started to roll backwards ' had to jump in vehicle and set the parking brake). The vehicle had to be towed to the shop.

When coming down an incline with the cruise control set, the motor begins to rev accessively within rpm redline and the speed of the vehicle starts to drop. This problem can only be corrected by pulling off the road and turning the vehicle off. The vehicle has been to two different dealerships, and the problem was reported to the better business bureau. People who work at the dealership have commented that they have the same problem with their 2008 dodge caravan as well, but dodge has said it is acceptable.

At 1,200 miles i was going 70mph (cruise control "on") up a hill on rt 40 in tennessee and the transmission went into limp mode 2nd gear. Engine light came on. I drove the shoulder at 30mph and took an exit. Roadside assist towed it to helms dodge. They pulled a "p0750" dtc code (solenoid a fault i think) but the transmission had reset and they couldn't make it go bad in 13 miles of driving. I asked them to check fluid level -- they said they would. They said if it happens again to turn it off for a few minutes and it may reset again. But, i made it home to ohio again without incident. Today, at 2,900 miles, it happened again! my wife had just driven it home from work and parked for 30 minutes (engine off). We went to go out to eat and 1000 feet from home (at 20 mph) it went into limp. But no engine light this time. I drove back into the driveway and let it sit (off) about 10 minutes. Then i tried it again and it shifted okay. I called the kings' chrysler/dodge dealer service rep (rob) and he said i should have it towed in by roadside assistance. Which i just did... Bill's towing picked it up at 9:15 (11-7-07) to be continued....

The brakes drag very badly on this car, presumably due to some failure of the anti lock braking system. This brakes are badly overheated all the time, which is a safety defect, and, even with disc brakes can cause failure. The master brain for the brake system is located where it's guaranteed to be splashed by water and where any leakage from the transmission or engine is gong to foul the connections.

I purchased a brand new 2008 dodge grand caravan in oct. 2008.at 22,226 miles the dealership replaced front brake pads and machined front rotors.at 29,595 they machined the front brake rotors again.there was still shimming in the brakes so at 29,847 i took the car back to dealership.they replaced front brake rotors, machines rear brake rotors and replaced rear brake pads.at 31,854 my brakes were constantly squeaking.dealership inspection brakes and said "normal characteristic of this model/brake.under certain conditions due to material type and glazing brake life is approximately 90% life remaining front and rear."then at 35,665 i brought back to dealership for another inspection.i reported "excessive brake noise."their response was "brakes ok.approximately 65% life remaining.noise detected was characteristic.

Do not know what the problem is yet. This is the first year of a redesigned body style. Maybe this is just the beginning of trouble for this vehicle.

Both front and rear brakes of the vehicle have worn out prior to 30,000 miles. The fronts were gone at 18k, the rears gone right at 30k. The front brakes were replaced under an "extended warranty", but, the rears had to be fixed personally, dealer wanted to charge almost 300 dollars to fix a problem they knew they had.

I believe that by issuing the extended warranty on the front brakeschrysler is well aware of a problem with the braking system on the 2008 dodge caravan.

Over the next couple of years we conti to notice a steady pull to right, the alignment was neve out of align we had check twiced.june of 2011 we are having to replace right front tire and after rotation of tire atleast 3 tires for wear on the outside. All these tires have been place on the right front at some time or another due to tire rotation.i believe the cam bolt componment was defective from the manufacture date of the of the vehicle. The tires on the vehicle are rate for 60,000 miles, miles on vehicle at this time31278.we are now back at the different dodge dealer to have determine if this is the same problem or not.

Tire pressure monitoring sensor/valve stem 2008 dodge grand caravan...valve broke off trying to unscrew cap. It is corroded and only has 40000 miles.

I went to put air into the tire and the air stem broke off.

1.while driving (at 30mph) in our 2008 dodge caravan, the right front tpms valve stem broke off and the tire immediately deflated.2.valve stem broke off below the valve core deflating the tire, moved vehicle to side of road.3.vehicle towed to tire shop where tpms was replaced for $70.00.still have old tpms.

The contact owns a 2008 dodge caravan. While driving approximately 30-40 mph a half moon indicator illuminated on the dashboard. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer who stated that the air sensor for the left rear tire needed to be replaced. The dealer replaced the sensor with a rubber valve stem.

Tire sensor light went on in our 2008 dodge caravan.went to put air in tires and found 2 of the 4 valves stems broken off towards the end of the stem.the pieces were still there being held in place by the cap.we purchased this vehicle used in june 2009.these are the tpms stems.i went online and found that this is avery common problem.why hasn't there been a recall on these type of stems?

I have a 2008 dodge caravan and just touched the tire valve stem.the top of the cap came off and the tire deflated in less than 8 seconds. I called the dealer and they said it's not covered.i asked the repair shop and they said the tire pressure monitoring sensor stems on the chrysler/dodge commonly break off and they have had many. It's a common problem.on the dodge/chrysler forums this happens many time. It ended up costing me 82 and i had to take the tire off.just by brushing the stem it cracked off is a major safety concern. With snow, or something else brushing across the stem this could lead to an instant tire deflation and los of control a lethaldesign!!

I was about to add air to the front tire and was removing the cap when the valve blew apart about halfway down the stem. The tire went flat immediately. We had the dealer replace the tpm valve stem but they had to order it and it took a week to get the part. I asked them to change the other 3, but they said they will only replace one valve at a time as they fail. My wife was 9 months pregnant at the time and this is our only car, so i wasconcerned that it would happen again, possibly while driving since it had broken so easily. Sure enough,two weeks later a second valve stem failed and the tire went flat very fast. Luckily i was just on my way back to the hospital to bring her a few things and driving slowly on a residential street. Again, i'm told they will just order one valve and replace them as they fail. This is obviously a problem they know about but don't want to deal with. Hopefully no one is injured or killed in an accident from one of these failing.

The tpms stems have broken off the wheels on my car while driving tire went flat and i happened to be parking at the time so thank god i was not on the highway at the time.
