While driving to the market my wife experienced a sudden shudder in the steering/brakes pulling the vehicle out of the driving lane towards the shoulder. She brought the vehicle to a stop of the shoulder. She noticed the esp/bas warning lightand the slippery road/traction control warning light had both activated on the dash/instrument panel. We brought the vehicle to the dealer who informed us the steering angle/clockspring sensor which activates the drivers airbag had failed and needs replacement. According to the dealer the item is not covered under warranty and repair would cost a total of $508.dodge recalled caravans 1996-2000 for a similar issue. We have already had to replace all the brakes, for what was termed premature whereout, at approx 22,000 miles. We had to replace the electronic keys which both crumbled after the 3rd year. What's next???? any help in this situation would be much appreciated.

This vehicle has an outstanding recall issue l25 wireless ignition code.we purchased the vehicle in april 2014 at which time we have experience a handful of complete shut down of the vehicle while traveling up to 35 mph.daily the ignition must be turned 4-5 times before starting or will start and immediately shut down.we have removed all extra keys and key chains as stated by chrysler.calling chrysler has been unsuccessful as they have a recording claiming the recall parts are not available at this time and wait times for over 15 mins will not still allow you to talk to someone in person.therefore the local dealership is unable to repair.is gm offering a free loaneruntil this vehicle is declared safe?i have a payment and do no longer wish to drive this vehicle.i have also tried to sell it for over a month with no luck.we are honest people and would inform buyer of outstanding recall unlike the dealer in which we purchased from.we have contacted our auto lender do start paper work on a voluntary repossession, however this will impact our credit greatly and we will also be responsible for the defaulted difference between the auction price and our loan.

Received "safety recall l01"to replace the occupant restraint controller module (orc). The l01 recall was performed at dodge dealership in daytona auto mall, daytona beach florida where the vehicle was originally purchased. According to the procedure to replace the orc, the electronic stability dynamic sensor (esp) had to be removed and re-installed as part of the replacement for the orc. Vehicle was picked up and driven home that day. The next day the vehicle was started and the esp, bake assist sensor (bas), and traction control sensor lights appeared on the dash. Returned vehicle to dodge dealer to verify that this was not caused by the recall procedure. Dodge dealer checked abs codes and said the steering angle control /clock spring sensor was defective, and would cost $500 plus to fix. All these components are connected to the abs system. I just cannot believe that one day after the l01 recall was done, that another component of the abs system failed.

My wife was driving my 3 children (ages 5, 3, and 18 months) home in our 2008 dodge grand caravan.as she was pulling up to a stop sign, the airbags deployed inadvertently.although, no one was injured, it was quite traumatic for my kids.they would not re-enter the van and had to receive a ride home from a local police officer.i contacted chrysler the next day.it took them over two weeks to send someone to inspect the vehicle.during that time, after having left repeated messages with chrysler, someone finally called me back and said that would not provide a replacement vehicle during the investigation, and they basically blamed me for the incident.they said there were recalls on the van that were not addressed.i informed him that i had not seen any recall regarding airbag safety.the man on the phone had 2 addresses on file, of which neither was currently accurate.he said that i should have contacted them when we moved.finally after almost 4weeks, they wrote me a letter saying that they were not taking responsibility.they told me that i should report the incident to my insurance company to have them cover it.since then, i have found that there was a recall to the hvac drain tube and grommet that could leak and cause malfunction to the airbags.

We had problems with the car not wanting to start after being turned off and turning itself off while driving the van.the dash area where the stereo, clock, dvd player and etc. Turns its self off.

Electric door locks and air bag system have stopped functioning normally.when you first start driving, the electric door locks are supposed to lock at 15 mph. Sometimes they will not lock until you are going 30 mph or 45 mph.note that all three speeds are multiples of 15.after the doors eventually lock themselves, all of the door locks in the vehicle will unlock without warning as you are driving. This can happen at any speed - 20 mph, 70 mph, whatever.once they unlock, the vehicle will continue "unlocking" the doors repeatedly every 5- 10 seconds continuously. The front doors can be manually locked by pushing down the door lock button located at the top rear section of the door. As soon as you manually lock the doors, they will unlock again and continue to unlock the doors every 5 - 10 seconds as you are driving the car.in addition, the air bag warning light in the dash lights up when you start the car and stays continuously lit as you are driving it. I consider these dangerous defects. It is unsafe to drive, and my dodge dealership told me there no "open recalls" for my vehicle.this vehicle has only 86,000 miles on it.

My 18yr son was driving the van at highway speeds (65 mph) when he described a sudden inability to control the vehicle. The steering became hard to control and the brakes here hard to push. He thought the brakes had failed. Due to the inability to control the van he drifted into the passing lane where a car to the rear of him struck his rear quarter panel, causing his van to spin out of control. The vehicle spun and came to rest in the meridian. The police report stated" no evidence of brakes locking up" as there was no skid marks in the road way until the vehicle was leaving the road sideways. The air bags did not deploy. The damage to the vehicle includes substantial front, side and rear panel damage the front and rear tires are out of alignment, exhaust pushed up into rear quarter panel and the force caused the battery to slide out of place. The engine warning lights were all on to include the air bag light. We called chrysler because we saw the recall on line. Meanwhile 5 days after the accident we received the recall notice in the mail stating it was fine to drive the can until the recall was performed.they sent an investigation team to examine the van and determined the brakes were at fault. However the brakes were new including rotors 2 weeks prior and upon having my own inspection done the brakes were found in working order, no warped rotors or burnt pads that would suggest a brake lock up at 65mph,tires(snow tires as my son was heading to college in northern maine ) are in good condition with no evidence of flat areas (as one might expect with brakes locking up) we had engine diagnostics checked and found an yaw warning at the time of the accident with no other engine codes noted. All engine lights were lit up at the time of the accident much like what happens when you shut the ignition off while the vehicle is in motion only to reset upon normal restart.

I recently purchased a 2008 dodge caravan. I needed an inspection sticker and come to find out the horn wouldn't blow. Had a mechanic look at it and he said the coil in the steering was bad which also operates the vehicles driver airbag. It will not deploy if i were to be in a crash. I would think this should be a recall being that the mechanic said it is common. This is pricy to fix. After the part and labor it will cost me $650.00!..updated 07-08-15 updated 9/15/2015

According to the dealership (withnell dodge, in salem, or) there are no open recalls for my vehicle. Except the airbag light comes on and off all the time, and based on my research, there used to be a recall for the airbag module: recall number: 16v047000 / recall date: 01/29/2016 / component: air bags:frontal. I have owned this vehicle since 2009, and as far as i know, the airbag control unit has never been replaced as it states in the recall. I asked the dealership to check and confirm the airbag control has been replaced, but they refused unless i was willing to pay for them to diagnose the problem. The problem is still there, and i don't believe this recall has been performed even though the vehicle record shows there is no open recalls. I believe my vehicle has the problem listed in the recall, and i would like for dodge to repair (free of charge) as stated in the recall.

Took my van into jeff wyler eastgate auto mall, in batavia, oh 45103, to have the two recalls fixed on my van and when i call to check up on the progress i get told that the tipm needs replaced and they are wanting to charge me $1,337.60 to fix it before they will even be able to fix my recalls. Both recalls are the ignition and the air bags, both of which are caused by the faulty tipm. So what are they repairing and replacing on my recalls knowing that the tipm is the main reason my van has recalls to begin with.the recall for my air bags is as follows: the airbags will either deploy at will or not deploy at all. The letter i got informing me of my recalls stated that it could be in the wiring harness or other places connecting my van to the airbags.the recall for my ignition is as follows: the airbags will either deploy at will or not deploy at all.

Redlight for front air bag

On the 24th of august, the car was taken in for repairs related to several recalls including the ignition and air bags. After the work was done, the air bag light came on. After speaking to a mechanic over the phone, an appointment was made for septermber 9th. However when the car was brought in to be looked at, the employee i spoke to would not accept the problem as part of the recall work and wanted to charge a diagnostic fee. I have since had the car checked by a different mechanic whose opinion is that the previous work done on the car is what is causing the current air bag problem, and therefore i would like the work to be done without cost to me as per the warranty on the recall work.

The vehicle entered "limp home" mode on a busy highway.after a little research, i found out that this could be caused by a short in wiring.there was already a recall on this vehicle related to the wiring harnesses in the rear sliding doors.at the time, we were experiencing no issues, but took it anyway where we were told that everything was ok and as far as i know, no work was done to correct the potential defect.subsequently that assembly has fallen apart on both sides and now we're left with a vehicle that repeatedly enters limp home mode often at very inconvenient times, triggering the wipers, as well as all the lights on the dashboard.we'd really like to know that this known issue can be fixed and that chrysler/dodge didn't actually put an expiration date on safety.

As previously occurred, chrysler concealed a known safety defect from its customers and then refused to help with repairs. The defective component is called the totally integrated power module (or tipm). The tipm consists of a computer, fuses, and internal relays, and is responsible for controlling and distributing electrical power to the entire vehicle'everything from steering and brakes, to the alarm, headlights, and the fuel pump. Since the tipm controls power to a wide variety of essential vehicle systems, including safety and security systems, the defect often leaves the vehicles incapable of providing reliable or safe transportation. Many class vehicles fail to start (or take dozens of attempts before the engine will turn over) because of the defect, and vehicles start up at other times only to stall, sometimes while traveling at high speeds. Vehicles also continue running without the key in ignition. The tipm defect has caused headlights and taillights to suddenly shut off. It has also caused horns to honk, car alarms to sound, and windshield wipers to activate all on their own. The tipm has also caused airbags to not deploy in some scenarios.

While pulling into a parking space in a strip mall, my drivers side steering wheel air bag deployed. There was no contact of any kind with another vehicle or object on the pavement. My right arm was injured with lacerations and contusions, although not serious enough to see a doctor. The next day, i took it into the dodge dealer for what i thought would be a warranty repair. The service manager said it looked to him like it had a front impact. I couldn't see any damage or indication of an impact , but he was quite sure and suggested i call my insurance company. The insurance adjuster said there had been a front impact.i have not had an impact of any kind since i purchased the vehicle approx. 6 months ago. I, of course, can not say it was never hit while parked in a parking lot. I can say the vehicle was not left unattended in a parking lot for 48 hours before the air bag deployed. I am concernedthat an air bag can deploy, without warning, several hours, days, or weeks after the impact. If i had been traveling on the interstate highway when the bag deployed there could easily have been fatalities. By the way, the dodge dealer checked the computer controller and says there is absolutely nothing on it. I have ordered a new air bag and controller.

I purchased a 2008 dodge grand caravan with seating for 7 thinking that i would be able to put 5 car seats in safely. There are only 3 top teether anchors, meaning that i cannot put 4 front facing car seats into my vehicle as needed. It seems that most minivans are made this way, and in talking to other parents, it has lead alot of people to install car seats without using to top teether.

I received a wireless ignition node module defect safety recall from chrysler in july 2014.your data base suggests may 2015 as the date, but it's wrong.this is much older.the original recall was l25 nhtsa 14v-373.the fiat chrysler hotline for recalls has the number as r03.they have failed to correct this defect within a reasonable time, because this is 14 months.a reasonable time might be a few weeks, i think. I call dealers here in the st louis area, they promise to call me when parts are in.i called the recall hotline for fiat chrysler, i complain to my state's attorney general for consumers, and get nowhere.all i hear is "we can't get the parts."well, i know many, many model cars are in this recall; not only gm, but jeep, dodge, etc.but i can't help it -- i am the one who is in trouble for the faulty ignition and fobik, and this package has fiat chrysler's name on it.it's time to twist their arms really hard.this is safety. The safety recall hotline at chrysler says this is their part, and they're not doing it, and i quote, "i don't know what to tell you."well, tell them....... I think i should be given a car to drive that is safe until they can do this required recall.or they can refund my car price and the price of my lift equipment installed for a scooter lift in the rear of the car.i've had it.waiting and hoping are not getting us drivers anywhere.they've got to do something and now before someone else dies.

This is the third time this has happened and it is unbelievable that there has not been a recall on all of these systems.i own a 2008 dodge grand caravan and originally reported an issue over a year ago with the car losing control of all functions i.e. Windshield wiper running and spraying, horn blaring, locks locking and unlocking, lights flashing etc.it has since happened again twice in the past month.does it take someone having to die to have this recall happen. It has been documented time and time again on thousands of vehicles.

Having intermittent issues with the van stalling, horn blowing unexpectedly, wipers coming on, and the lights coming on unexpectedly.if the battery is disconnected it obviously stops, but then will operate fine for a few days 2-3 and then it happens all over again.

2008 dodge grand caravan sxt driver side sliding door is stuck i locked position.it will not respond to any of the dedicated buttons like the fob, the master door unlock, the overhead door opener or even manually.

I was driving on a busy main city road at night, traveling around 35 mph when my van shut off and the wipers and horn went crazy.i lost all power steering and brakes.headlights also cut out.i struggled to get to the side of the road and into a parking lot.the front wipers stopped when i turned the key off, but the back wiper and horn continued for about 10 min.i did not have tools to disconnect the battery.suddenly there was a flash of all the lights in the car and everything seemed to be back to normal with the exception of the check engine light appearing on the dash.i was able to restart the vehicle and drive another half mile to my home.this is the first time this has happened while driving, that i have lost all engine power and steering, it is not the first time the van has acted out. Wipers will suddenly start moving when i am driving or the horn with suddenly sound and radio will cut out. I have also had it go crazy with windshield wipers moving, horn honking, locks malfunctioning and fluid sprayed all over the car when i unlocked it.my wife once had my kids trapped inside of the care for 10 mins until i could i drive over and disconnected the battery.i have been told it is the tipm acting up.it has happened more than 10 times.i do not trust the vehicle.i have read about many more instances online. This could cause an accident if it was in rush hour or on a busier road.

While driving the van shuts off and looses all power to include power brakes and steering. Also the traction control light comes on. The following has been completed to fix the problem without the problem being resolved: replacement of battery and check of battery cables, recall complete of win module, replacement of o2 sensors and egr valve, and check of all fuses and wiring. After all of the aforementioned repairs the van still shuts off while driving. When the van shuts off the check engine light does not come on and there are no codes present for the mechanic to diagnose problem. This issue is an extreme safety issue and it appears there are numerous reports i have been able to locate on the internet. My wife will not drive the van not because of the problem. When the van shuts off you can place it in park and restart the van and continue to drive. The van has shut off on me while i have been driving it and there does not appear to be any indicator that it is going to shut down, ie stuttering or irregular operation. The speed that the issue has occurred ranges from 20 mph to 55 mph.

The van was idling in my driveway then all of the gauges, instrument panels lights, indicator lights and windshield wipers were turning on and off independent of the cab controls. I turned off the key and it all stopped, but the headlights did remain on. When i turned the key back on the erratic behavior resumed.

Went back 3/16/15. Part was installed.this caused the complete electrical system to fail.returned to dealer and they removed part & electrical system returned to normal. They gave the part to us. I am not sure how to resolve this problem.the dealer said they had problems with what the factory had sent to fix the problem.

The ignition in my van turned itself off while i was driving on the freeway. No injuries.in 2014 there was a recall and i was under the impression that this serious condition would be remedied quickly. I have had 4 incidents of the ignition shutting off since the first time last year. The dodge dealers in my area keep telling me the replacement parts are not yet in stock.last week mckevitt dodge in berkeley accepted my vehicle for repair stating they would have to charge me for the repair and that i would get reimbursed by chrysler. After waiting just over a week, they told me that the parts weren't available until the end of june 2015.isn't this a similar problem that gm had with their cars, that caused at least 13 deaths? how long can chrysler play russian roulette with its customers lives?

I have complained many times of my van not starting. It has only been documented 3 times, and each and every time i bring it in the mechanic tells me there is no faulty code. The first time it is doc. Was oct. 12 2009, second was july 23 2010. The last one that was documented was june 1 2011. They wanted to tow it in, in the meantime my husband googled the problem and told me to turn the car on, apply brake and shift to n, then turn off and restart. This did help and i was able to start the van. It was 'dead mans switch'. They still did tow it in and surprisingly were not able to find a problem. They told me next time to not start it like that again and just get it towed in again. When i went to pick my van up they told me there was a 'pending' recall. So with three kids, a husband who travels for work and i have to wait to have a solid recall. This has been a huge waist of my time and is very frustrating and worrisome. Each and every time i have brought my van in they have told me there is nothing wrong with it. I have complained about this matter at least 6-7 times. My doors have also locked on their own and the remote start will fail often, they have replaced my keys, but that did not fix the problem.

Radio came on and off on its own. Car acted like it was possessed. I had to unhook the battery to make everything stop. Please note, the car was parked in my driveway when all of this occurred.

My complained is that we got the recall (l25) from chrysler in june of 2014 but not the second form to get it fixed at a dealer. The van will shut off while traveling luckily my wife was not going to fast. Is chrysler going to wait till someone is injured or killed before they fix it.

For a few days my van has been having issues starting.(not battery) every light on the dash bored has been popping on. Then all the dash lights go out and so do the head lights. We were driving at night. Parked the car for a minute and let it run.

This is a very dangerous situation. Today it rain a bit but prior to today it was not raining. When in parked, lights and wipers were in the off position but they continued to stay on. At a very fast rate it would idle up and down quickly. We refuse to even turn on the van for i am scared of what may happen.

I received a safety recall notice in the mail regarding recall l25, i took it to dealer they ordered parts for it supposedly. Service center at dodge advised me that the main problem i am having is not related to the recall therefore labor/parts/car rental will not be covered. (i spoke w a rep at chrysler group recall assistance center who told me there are still no parts for it) rep at recall said to just pay for whatever is not covered and it would still be reimbursed. Who am i supposed to believe i am not trying to get scammed out of a cpl grand. I am having problems w the fobik getting stuck in the acc position, i was waiting up to 5 minutes for it to click, to get my key back. Now it is not coming out at all.

Going high speed, engine suddenly stops, all lights on dash light up, power steering does not function. This happened (3) times last year. I was fortunate enough to be able to pull over on the pa turnpike but was in danger of being hit as i was traveling in the left lane.car would not restart.waited 20 minutes and car did initially restart. However, when it restarted, once driven, it would not shift gears--it was stuck in 1st. (automatic transmission) pulled over again. Waited 10 minutes, started driving, and car functioned but "check engine light" was on.car was taken to dealer immediately.they initially blamed the fob, which i replaced. When this incident happened again a few months later, it was again taken to dealer and since they could not replicate the problem, they said they could not fix it.in july of this year, started this behavior again but now would not restart after the engine cut off.(again traveling high speed)then the engine cut off a day later while only going 40 miles an hour.took car to the dealer again and they changed the win module. (but tell me that all three electrical system are registering errors) i paid to replace win module, had car for 1 week, went to start it and there was no response. Had car towed to dealership. Replaced starter relay. Picked car up on a wednesday and on thursday, engine shut down on me while doing 20 mph. Again, would not restart. Car currently at dealership but they claim they have no idea what's wrong. This is a hazard!! i feel i am going to die in this car because someone is going to run into me at high speed when i don't have a engine to get out of the way. My young kids are constantly in this car. Dealership throws up their hands and says "i don't know or care if you die in this vehicle we simply can't fix the problem" i am still paying this car off and can't afford another car!

The van has shut off while driving approximately 7 times in the last year. The engine shuts off and there is no power to the brakes or steering. There are no error lights that display on the dash. Once the car is stopped and placed in park the engine is able to be restarted. There is a big safety concern when this happens. It appears that there is a recall on a similiar issue on the 2010 caravan with the vehicle shutting off while driving. I have also researched the problem and found that there have been alot of the same complaints from consumers owning a 2008 dodge grand caravan. Is there going to be a recall on my van for this problem? thank you

Upon entering vehicle pressing keyfob to unlock any door or hatch the horn would start to sound, the windshield wipers (front and rear) would start to go on its on including windshield wiper fluid as well, lights would start to flash as well. I would have to open up the hood and hit the fuse box located next to the battery on the drivers side firewall just to get it to stop. I have taken the vehicle to the dealership on several ocassions to no avail because they cannot duplicate the problem and now i am out a diagnostic fee of $94.00 x2 and the cost of a rental car both times for my wife and three children because my 100% full warranty does not cover the cost of the rental because the problem could not be duplicated. After searching and reading about this problem that my wife and i are having with this cara van i think something should be done before someone is seriously hurt or killed by the caravan doing something that it was not asked to do!!!!

Purchased the vehicle sept. 3, 2013. On countless occasions the key will not come out. You have to cranked the vehicle again, move it up a bit, turn it back off and try again to remove the key. Sometimes the key will not go into the ignition. It's been six months and i can't get any help. Forget the local dealership. No help. It seems to me that someone would want to help. Someone at dodge headquarters. This is really ridiculous. Rest assured that i would never recommend a dodge, especially a van, to anyone. Can i get it fixed at the dealership? oh sure i can. For $700. I'm at a loss here. Can you help me?

On multiple occasions beginning in june '14 my 08 dodge grand caravan sxt would have random electrical malfunctions including synced, intermittent activation of horns, front wipers, rear wipers, front washer fluid spray, rear washer fluid spray, and door locks. These issues would generally come together in "episodes" that could last from about a minute to about 10 minutes. These episodes could occur in rapid succession, separated by only a few seconds, or they might have 5-10 minutes or sometimes days between happenings. This would cause sudden loss of visibility while driving, as the sprayers would cover the windshield with drops but the wipers would not complete a pass to remove the fluid. It was particularly dangerous at night, since the drops would refract light and make visibility almost zero. This also resulted in being locked out of the vehicle on multiple occasions, once with children trapped inside!! while the problems were happening, the remote "clicker" could not be used to unlock or open doors or lift-gate. The only way to enter the vehicle was to use the physical key and force the lock to turn against the pressure of the powered door lock motor repeatedly re-locking the doorsother intermittent problems: transmission would not advance beyond 2nd gear, the check engine light would come on, the dashboard lights would flash and flicker, the back-up camera would flicker (the image is displayed on the radio's screen when the vehicle is in reverse), the dashboard displays would all be turned off or to zero (including tachometer even though the engine was running), and the engine would not shut off with the key switched to "off" and completely removed. Now, the wipers have stopped working completely, which is a perpetual safety issue, until the problems can be solved. Koons dodge of tysons corner said the problem was the tpim (totally integrated power module).

The enginedied and would not turn back on while driving. Suspect this is due to faulty ignition win control moduleor ignition system . Nearly caused a crash. Was able to slow down (lost brakes, and power steering) and pull to side of the road avoiding being hit by other cars.tried starting the vehicle several times it then started again.( took to dealership and they changed out our fob/key thing. And seemed to fix the issue. Most recently 3/12/14 parked, attempted to restart vehicle 10 min later and the key will not turn over the engine.(plastic fob type key)no starter noise. ( lights work, key in ignition warning ding occurs.lights turn onbut no radio, or engine start. Will not restart now.

Intermittent problems that are becoming much more frequent almost daily with car not starting when the key fob is turned.key fob seems loose and turns easily but nothing happens.i have to turn back to off, pull fob out, place back in, try to restart, usually multiple time and usually by about the 10th time the planets align and it starts as if nothing is wrong.i took it to the dealer, thankfully it would not start for them and then it finally did.they said that the wireless electric ignition node had to be replaced and that this problem was not related to the recall issue with the key fob and putting to much stuff on the key chain.

Serious safety issue.my van starts on its own.the horn blares and won't stop.wipers come on and the engine won't stop.does this without a key in the ignition.when driving you lose complete control of the transmission and the engine will not turn off.dodge needs to do a recall and something needs to be done.i'm afraid to park in the garage because it starts on its own.i'm worried the carbon monoxide will asphyxiate my family.i've called the dodge main headquarters and they play dumb like they never heard of this happening.i found thousands of complaints online.it's in the dodge dealer right now.hoping to fix the issue.they don't know what the problem is.the actual problem is called a bad tipm(totally integrated power module).

All power in the driver door went dead.i don't have mirrors, windows, anything.my mechanic said the part i need is on national backorder, with a new part number from chrysler.this means that all of the parts i currently have/need are obsolete due to a known issue.to have a new part number would mean that the part would need to be redesigned from the ground up due to a known issue.this issue may have the chance to grow into a bigger electrical problem if i didn't know better; which would lean to fires, crashes, etc as all of the cars built rely on electrical signals for power steering, brakes, dash message area, air bags, etc.i'm surprised this hasn't been recalled yet to the known issues and issues it could potentially cause.

I was informed in approximately 2013 or 2014 of a safety recall regarding the wireless ignition module and key fob. I received additional notification that parts were ready in early 2015 regarding this recall. I have tried to schedule service for this recall with three separate dealers numerous times. I have been told it is unknown when parts will be ready. I have had the vehicle turn off due to this issue. The dodge paperwork states they are concerned with my safety. And the recall should be complete in a reasonable amount of time. It has now been years since notification, and nearly a year since parts have been "ready" and the recall still isn't complete. According to dodge statistics, as of oct 26, 2015, only 192,616 of 724,503 vehicles have been completed. This is not in a reasonable time and i feel as if dodge is slow rolling this recall to save themselves money. This recall is similar to a 2010 recall.

Several times since approximately august of 2013 the vehicle power has cut off while driving causing loss of power steering. I had the ignition replaced once at my own cost but it did not fix the issue. It has happened several times since then with the latest being in october of 2014. I am aware of the recall but what is the point if there is no fix? the fact that we are still waiting on a fix is unacceptable. This is a safety issue not an inconvenience issue. I have three young children and it is unacceptable that i have to drive them around in an unsafe vehicle because dodge doesn't yet have a fix.

My 5 children and i got into the van to head to my disabled child's doctors appointment. We had just pulled out and began accelerating when the car shut off. The wheel locked, as did the brakes. It seemed as though all electrical to the van was lost. Nothing worked. We were stuck in the middle of the road. When i tried to restart the vehicle nothing happened. The dash indicators did not come on, the power locks and windows would not work. It was dead. After the children and i were almost rear-ended by a ups truck, i removed my children from the vehicle and brought them to the side of the road and told them to walk home (fortunately we weren't far). At that point i returned to attempt to get it to restart. After about 15 minutes of blocking traffic and 2 near collisions, the van came back to life. I brought it back to my home and parked it. This issue began when, about 3 weeks ago, my vehicle wouldn't start. I then discovered if i took the key out then put it back in it would eventually start. I had called the local dodge dealership and was told it was my win module. I called dodge and was informed that there was no eta on a replacement part but i can pay out of pocket to have it fixed and would be reimbursed. After calling the dealership again i was informed that they didn't have the means to fix it. This is absolutely ridiculous! the vehicle i purchased to keep my children safe put their lives in danger. It's the only vehicle i have that will fit all 5 of my children. Now my daughter, who is disabled, cannot see her doctor today, and only lord know when we'll have access to a vehicle for the already scheduled future appointment. I refuse to put my children back into a vehicle that could kill them!

In january 2014 as i was driving my vehicle the gauges on the dash suddenly quit working, all of the indicator lights on the dash came on, the wipers turned on and the radio and entertainment system no longer functioned.i took it to a dodge dealership where they eventually diagnosed it with a faulty tipm.the faulty tipm also caused the power door module to fail.neither repair was covered by my extended warranty we bought with the vehicle and we spent $1200 for the repairs.the same thing happened approximately 2 months later, this repair was covered by the dodge service department warranty of 6 months 6,000 miles. On january 11th the same thing happened again and my 2008 dodge grand caravan again has a total failure of the tipm.3 times in less than 13 months.i contacted dodge customer care and they said that there is nothing they can do to assist with the repair and we again will have go cover e repaid out of pocket.

I received the recall in the mail and went to the dodge dealer over a year ago and never heard a thing from them again. Recall r03 / nhtsa 14v-373. Sometimes i have to put the van in netural to start the van. It stopped on me while i was out (parked) and firestone advised me to start the van this way because nothing was wrong otherwise. Sometimes my rear window will close itself.

Week after week i wait to have the recall work done on my vehicle, and the local dealership repeatedly explains that the replacement parts are unavailable from the maker. Chrysler corporate offices confirmed that the parts are unavailable and that there is a long list of people waiting for their parts. With this extremely unsafe condition of the ignition switch cutting off and the steering wheel locking and lack of power breaks, it is hard to believe that chrysler has spent nearly a year since the initial complaint and still cannot correct the issue. The recall is out, but it is impossible to get the problem fixed because they are not supplying parts to their dealerships.

2008 grand caravan having dangerous electrical / powertrain problems.van suddenly loses electrical control.horn blows, windshield wipers run, washer fluid sprays, doors latch (or fail to unlatch) transmission goes limp.several other reports of exactly the same issue are listed on this site.according to some posts on the web, there is an update for similar issues on the 2010s. Also, i am finding these same reports on dodge weblogs for other dodge vehicles, not just the grand caravan.

This incident has happened 3 other times in the past. The first incident at about 5,000 miles and the second incident at 22,000 and a third incident at about 45,000.this last incident occurred on the highway traveling at about 67 mph. The headlamps turn off and the horn blares constant. The windshield wipers go at full speed (front and back) and the fluid is spraying everywhere.the doorlocks begin to flicker in the open and lock position.the brake lights are also shut off but the reverse lights are lit up.the tachometer and speedometer go to zero. You can maneuver the vehicle to the side of the road and try to shut off the vehicle, but to your surprise the vehicle doesn't shut off.it keeps running!so as you are sitting there wondering what to do and unlock your door manually and then you have to unhook the battery and somehow that works.if you are lucky when you connect the battery back in the system goes back to normal.if your unlucky the horn and windshield wipers are still going strong along with all the other issues.either way this system malfunction is being reported all over the internet and dodge hasn't responded.they are reporting a tipm (total ignition power module) apparently the part is in such demand that you cannot order because they are backordered up to 800 units.

The van completely shut down while i was in the middle of making a u turn. The engine, the electrical just stopped working and the steering wheel got really tight but i was able to glide to the side of the road. I turned the key to the off position put the van in park and then i was able to restart it. I took it to dodge and they repaired the power steering saying that was the problem. Not so, this has happened 3 times since the first and nothing has been done to repair the problem. Today is 8/29/2014 and i am stranded because it won't turn on at all. Waiting for aaa.

The windshield wipers on my 2008 dodge grand caravan will not turn off and my blinkers, spray,rear windshield wipers, and brights will not turn on. I have tried resetting the battery and this accomplished nothing. It has been diagnosed as the tipm, which i understand is hard to get your hands on, and the price of replacement is extremely high. It appears to be a very common problem with this make and model of caravan.i have had several electronic issues including windows that do not roll down, doors that do not unlock, key that gets stuck in the ignition, and sliding doors that stop working.

I bought a 2008 dodge grand caravan sxt in 3/2008. From the start, i felt the van would not start properly. The engine would continue to turn over even after i had let go of the key and it takes an unusual amount of time to complete start cycle. I was advised by the dealer that this wa common in newer vehicles. Another problem was that the inside window,door lock,auto door openers only worked intermittently. Last month, while driving, the dash lights all lit up and the van died immediately. This has happened three separate times since then. Each time, the vehicle ran fine once restarted but it has been sheer luck it hasn't resulted in n accident. A couple of weeks ago, a new problem arose. I noticed that when i started the van, although it was running, none of the systems up front were working. The air conditioning, radio, or power windows among other things would not work at all. The van needed to be turned off and restarted to get it to work properly. This has also happened repeatedly since.

The ignition fobik gets stuck in the socket forcing the car to stay in acc and exhausting the battery.the car can be restarted when this happens and after repeated attempts usually releases the fobik.this often involves forcibly shoving the transmission lever from d to p.i believe this is related to the l25 and r03 recalls as sometimes you can hear an electronic noise when the fobik is locked or released.my primary complaint is that i've called the dealer 4 times or so over the last year since l25 came out asking to fix the problem by fulfilling the recall.each time the dealer, rainier dodge, says they will order parts and get back to me, but never does.i will be calling again this week after problems over the weekend.i'm very dissatisfied with chrysler's response to this potentially serious problem.

Defective tipm, lost electric power in 2013 at 26,000 miles. Part replaced, paid $1200.defective tipm, lost electric power in 2017, at 36,000 miles. Only 9000 miles later, part needs to be replaced again, cost estimated around $1300.the same part in other year models were recalled, 2008 model was not included in the recall. Contacted dodge, they refuse to take responsibility for this reoccurring and life threatening problem, caused by defective tipm. Luckily, both times it happened, the vehicle was not in traffic.

The failure mileage was 88,000.

June 2012, while driving the vehicle from a restaurant from dinner, the vehicle suffered a power failure which immediately caused the vehicle to power down while driving on the highway. I was forced to make a best attempt to pull over to the side of the road, which was made difficult by the fact that the brakes were powered by the electrical systems as was the steering. I subsequently called a mechanic who came and checked out the minivan but, no work was performed because when the mechanic arrived, the car started and drove perfectly and all of the voltages for the electrical systems tested okay.a month later, after arriving home and parking my car, i noticed that the cooling fan was still operating although the vehicle has been shut off. I then immediately started the car and did every check possible to make sure that i had not left anything on. After checking under the hood and closing the hood itself, the fan shut off on its on.within a matter of weeks, this same problem began repeating itself and would only stop once the battery ran down. I eventually had the fan relay/starter replaced after a mechanic suggested that this was the issue. I have subsequently found that the fan no longer stays on. However, the vehicle continues to either shut down while driving with no apparent cause and i am still experiencing problems with the vehicle's battery draining, although nothing appears to have been left on.the electrical problems have continued to get worse and increasingly dangerous and i have called several dodge dealerships to speak with mechanics. To generalize, a majority of the mechanics have dealt with other consumers who have experience some or all of the same issues and suggest that the tipm is faulty and thatthis is a common issue on chrysler and dodge minivans of the same year and being that this is the case that they expect to see a recall issued.

The front and back wipers came on.the back wiper fluid was squirting.the horn came on and stayed on.the interior and exterior lights turned on.all of this occurred while the vehicle was parked in the driveway.the engine had been off for 10 minutes.the battery had to be jumped because it was drained too much.

I have had my car in many times for horn blowing, wipers and washers going, all lights going off at night ( i could have been killed) blower not working, car not starting, doors not closing.it has cost me several thousand dollars in repairs and the last time i was told the tipm computer would fix everything.the car computer was already replaced.the car was on the highway at 60mph and also at stop lights.this all happened over several years.

The contact owns a 2008 dodge grand caravan. The contact stated that the transaxle was rough when switching gears and when the brake pedal was depressed. In addition, the vehicle jerked when shifting gears. The contact also stated that the sliding doors failed to close. The contact had to manually open and close the doors as the failure progressed.

My wife was outside of our house without the van keys and the horn started blaring and the wiper pump started spraying fluid. The wipers were shuttering. Several days prior the headlights stopped working. I disassembled the tipm and reassembled it to restore the headlights. I had hoped that i wouldn't see the headlight flashing/horn/wipers/wiper fluid spraying behavior again but it followed my investigation of the tipm. I have one on order - this is a safety issue, i've read that this can happen while driving and the van can shutoff while driving. I called dodge who referred me to their service department who wants payment to diagnose this known problem with the tipm. I've heard that there is a class action lawsuit for this problem as well.

The first incident occurred while care was sitting in the driveway, no key in it. Horn started going wipers and wiper fluid started going full speed, and lights started flashing, door locks engaged and could not be stopped by key fob. This continued for about 10 minutes. I had to pull the fuses and disconnect the battery to get it to stop. Took the car to dealership twice who stated there is nothing wrong with the van. The van continues to do this intermittently. Most recent incident driving down the highway 60 mph with children in the car when all the previous symptoms started to occur and gauges would drop to zero and then back up over and over again. All lights went out at this time and transmission began malfunctioning. I was barely able to pull the car off to the side of the road where it continued to do this for 15 minutes. The third time i took it in they reported it was my tipm and want over $1100 to replace it. I called dodge customer service and explained the issue hoping they would fix it without cost to me or offer some solution. Their rep was very rude and told me to try what the dealership suggested. I expressed how it is a design/manufacturing flaw and got the reply, "well ma'am, there is no recall on this so there is nothing we can do". I informed him i would never buy another dodge/chrysler vehicle and received the reply "ok, have a good day". He then hung up on me. This is a serious safety issue and after reading many forums have realized i am not the only one experiencing this issue...dodge needs to be held accountable!

Car dies without warning.acceleration, steering and braking compromised and dangerous.happens randomly, when stopping, when accelerating when cruising at highway speeds.engine hot and cold.new ignition installed as part of recall program and the problem has gotten worse since the "fix".

Bought this van in aug. 2009 loved it at first..then things started happening. Would hesitate while driving, never die on me but still feels like it will sometimes..steering wheel has locked on me several times.different panel lights come on and go off since day one.have changed brakes way more than should of been necessary..other repair to brake system.had power steering line changed.about 6 months ago, panel lights started coming on more often, then the gauges wouldn't work,wipers come on and won't stop. Headlight flash on and off or don't work at all; turn signals work on and off, power locks come on and off, can't roll windows down or up from drivers side or lock or unlock doors.everyday it gets worse.took it to dodge dealer 11/2016 cost about $100.00 to tell me , its not a call back and not related to the ignition problem, and in my passed complains they had didn't have any of these problems listed, even tho i had told them about them before.so because control lights had went off at that time they couldn't do anything. It was probably anelectrical problem and the last time they did one it too about 10 hr.to find the problem. ($128.00 an hr) i can't afford that and i think chrysler should stand behind their cars.now for the last 2 weeks all of these thingsstay on and continue to do it all.low mileage 81000 always taken care of, now i'm 70 yrs old and have a van that i'm afraid to drive...this happens while driving and sitting still.

While my vehicle was parked at a campground, i click my key fob to unlock the door and the rear windshield wiper started going off. Tried to start the vehicle and it would not start, no lights nothing completely dead. The wiper eventually stopped. A few hours later, still parked with no keys in it, the windshield wiper fluid and wipers started after i clicked the unlock button on the key fob again. The fluid kept shooting until it ran out of fluid. Then a few hours later with again no keys in it or key fob use the horn began blaring. Then the lights and wipers went off as well. Finally i was able to get the battery disconnected and it stopped. I reconnected the battery two hours later only to roll up my windows and the horn immediately started going off. I had it towed to the dealership down the street and i am now waiting on the results. I'm glad my family was not with and/ or i was driving.

(i do have the 2nd incident recorded on my daughters cell phone. However, turning off of sr795 onto main street coming home from work - my wipers began to work on their own, as well as the message light center - all started blinking rapidly, and my seat belt sound was continuously beeping.then last week as we were going on the expressway (280-75-475) my speedometer would jump from 60 down to 0 back up - continuously, while my wipers were going, all the message indicator lights were blinking, as well as my window would not(still don't) work nor can i lock/unlock my van from the drivers side.the incident on the expressway, incident #2 - is the one i have recorded.i phoned grogantown chrysler - and was informed they were never sent the l25 part that is recalled.my complaint is this:if my van is a 2008, the original recall was in 2011, how can a dealer put the van back on the lot for sale if the recall has not been addressed or fixed.insane - and an inconvenience - i was told i could drive it til rouen (which is closer to me) can do a diagnostic test on may 26th.what happens if it is indeed the l25 recall and myself or my kids are injured in an accident cuz chrysler corporation has not made this part available.

Initial symptoms of vehicle involved the horn chirping whenever the car was shifted into park as well as the front windshield wipers going off randomly along with washer fluid spraying.when rear wiper was turned on the front wipers would also come on as well but moved very slow.symptoms became worse, the passenger sliding door randomly would open on its own and the horn would chirp constantly when car in reverse.the parking lights and tail lights also would stay on and flicker after key removed and light switch off on dash.while taking van to dodge dealership in beloit, wi the check engine light came on, dash lights began to flash randomly and transmission went into limp mode only allowing me to travel at speeds less than 20 mph. I was advised that i had a faulty tipm (total integrated power module).i was also told that part is on back order and both bryden dealership/dodge corporation are unable to provide a date when the part would be available.i have contacted dodge directly and was able to get a rental car at dodge's expense even though vehicle is not under warranty anymore.they obviously are aware that this is a problem since i was advised by a third party parts supplier that over 600 of these are on back order with no eta on part availability.the worst part of this is not knowing when the part will be available and that so many people are being affectedi don't understand how this part can be so scarce when this is one of the most popular vans on the road today.

Since i can't remember the dates of the other incidents i will start with yesterday june 25, 2014.i drove all morning running here and there and everything was fine.i stopped at the post office to mail a package and could not restart the vehicle.the van engine did not even turn over.the dash is blank except for the mileage.i called aaa for a tow and they found that the van was stuck in park and would not budge out of park.so it is still at the post office until we can figure out how to get it out of park.other issues.a few months ago, in the winter of 2013, the van was in my garage and it would not start.i thought it was the battery and so i turned off the radio and heat and tried it againand it started.this happened every morning with me taking my child to school for about a week.it never did it for my husband.i think i told the dealer about it on my next oil change visit, but they said they can only check it when it is happening.another time last summer (2013), the horn, and wipers and wiper fluid just started going off by themselves as i tried to start the van.i took the key out and pressed the door open and lock buttons to see if it would stop and it did.i tried to start the van again and it did it again. Repeated the same open and lock procedure and it stopped.i waited a few minutes to start the van and it did not do it again.the following day as i was driving on a busy road, highway 278, it did it again.i had to pull over and i turned off the van did the open and lock button on the key and it stopped.of course it never repeated for my husband or ever again.

Vehicle started to accelerate on its own. It made it a foot or so before stopping. Soon after, the vehicle at random turned on the wipers and horn. Ignition became non-responsive and i had to pull battery cable to silence everything. Had to take it to the dealership for repair and received lecture about not pulling battery cable and was charged $90 so a tech could fix this. The tipm module had failed and needed to be replaced.

2008 dodge grand caravan.consumer writes in regards to vehicle electrical problems.the consumer stated on a recent trip, the vehicle failed to start. The consumer went to the nearest dealership, where he was informed it would cost $70.00 per recall to fix the vehicle. However, the part for the ignition was not available.

The instrument panel on our 2008 dodge grand caravan will blink off and on, the windshield wipers will go off and on when they are in the off position.the speedometer and tach will "jump" back and forth and the chime will go off each time this happens.i have lost the ability to unlock the doors and roll down the windows from the drivers door also.this does not happen all the time but it has become more frequent the last couple days.no error codes come up when a scan was completed on it which it makes more difficult to pinpoint a cause with the dealer.

Vehicle wipers, wiper fluid, and horn operate separately and independently from human operator input with no response to operators attempts to disengage their operations. Incidents happen intermittently at rest or in motion, situations are not able to be anticipated.

Driving on the thruway with my family the van stalled twice without warning, although it would restart immediately and luckily there wasn't so much traffic. Have been having issues with dashboard lights(emergency brake, esp/bas, abs & traction) coming on every time i turn on the van and start driving. The sliding doors either open by themselves or don't want to close, i have to repeatedly push the buttons to get it to close and also at times the door stops halfway and starts clicking. I had previously taken the van to a dodge dealer where they "fixed" the door problem, but after some time it again began with the same problem.my transmission constantly keeps shifting to 6th gear so i either have to turn off the van or shift down the gear to d in order to open or close the doors. The ignition key has been getting stuck on acc and doesn't want to come out. This is a very serious situation that needs to be addressed asap, before someone looses their life!the manufacturer needs to take action and make the necessary measures and precautions to protect the lives of consumers , not just the ones that are driving these unsafe vehicles but as well as those that are around us!!! (for many of us, this is our only transportation to get to and from work or like myself drive the kids to school and activities).

Safety recall r03 / nhtsa 14v-373i have contacted the local dodge dealer (adamson motors) in my area (rochester, mn) when i first got the recall notice in the spring of 2015. I called them again in the summer of 2015 and the had no record of my first call. I feel that they have had a reasonable amount of time to fix my vehicle and they have not done so.

Dangerous to drivedangerous to park in garage.day 1: wipers, horn went on at 55 mph. After 5 miles it stopped. Next day everything was dead.battery replaced. Next day, horn/wipers go on when engine is started. Eventually stopped.mechanic pulled horn fuse. Day 3 : early am opened door, windshield wipers go on and stay on. I start car (big mistake), now i can not put car in gear, can not turn off engine or wipers. I just let it run, very dangerous in an attached garage,i was afraid to open hood or attempt to disconnect battery in a running car,eventually engine shut itself off, later wipers went off. I fear gassing my family or burning us down if it starts in the night. What more will happen if i drive it ?a few years ago, on highway, warning lights came on and engine stopped and vehicle was totally inoperable towed to dodge, they replaced a computer module (warranty). Now i read it may be a very costly computer module again and that i am in danger.

I am the operations manager for a livery service on cape cod that uses dodge and chrysler minivans for public transportation service. I've been trying to get the parts for the ignition switch recall since june 2015, and my local dealer keeps telling me the parts are not available. Fca keeps sending me notices, and i find it disgusting that anyone should wait over nine months for the parts for this vital recall. Fca should be ashamed of themselves for not making these parts available in a timely manner.

Driving the vehicle on a residential street. Engine quit suddenly and unexpectedly. Steering and brakes failed. Vehicle went off the road, over the curb and came to a stop. No property damage or bodily harm. If we had been traveling at highway speeds, fear of death would have been a real concern. The engine would not start for approximately a minute after the incident. Engine finally started and the vehicle was taken to a dodge dealership. Diagnosed as a 'bad win module' (wireless ignition node). The technician actually guessed the problem was the win module before diagnosing the problem.he said it was a 'fairly common problem'. An online investigation revealed this part has a recall associated with it in the 2010 dodge grand caravan (our dodge grand caravan is a 2008). The reason i am writing the nhtsa is the newly replaced win module is clearly a redesigned part. It looks and functions differently than the old, faulty win module. If dodge redesigned the part, they must have assumed the earlier design was defective in some way. To justify the need for a redesign, there had to be some driving factor like improved safety. It is my belief that this defect had the real potential of causing death and i am requesting the nhtsa investigate this matter. Am i the first to have lodged a complaint regarding this part? thank you for your time and attention.i look forward to your response.

My van was one year old (2009) when it first activated the horn (off and on making a weird warbling half honk sound) and wipers/spray while driving down the highway on a highway switch ramp at 65 mph. It lasted about a minute and then stopped. We were on a trip so we asked when we got back to the arkansas dealership. They told us it was likely corrosion (on a brand new car that was driven in normal circumstances). They said it wasn't covered under warranty and we didn't have proof. It repeated about once every 6 months or more. Now (about once a month)the battery dies randomly and the horn/wipers/etc go off randomly while it's just sitting there and driving down the road. I've had to jump it 5 times without any warning. I've double verified that the alternator/battery are in great shape. Really dodge ! a brand new car and you couldn't help us!

As i was driving home from the store this morning, i was taking a turn onto my street when the engine shut off and i lost power steering and brakes.i was barely able to muscle the steering wheel to complete the rest of the turn and avoid hitting another car that was turning to go the way that i was coming from.the lady in the other car was looking at me in fear with her arms raised like "what are you doing!?"i tried to turn the engine on several times with no luck as i coasted down my street forcefully pumping the brakes to slow down and stop in front of my house.once i took the key out of the ignition and tried to restart the engine, it started.i did some research on the internet and this seems to be a problem with other models as well.there is even a recall on dodge grand caravans that were manufactured from 3 august 2009 to 17 june 2010 for this exact problem.i have read on this website and many others that this issue exists outside these dates though and that the dodge company is not doing anything.i have not consulted with my dealership yet but i am hopeful because they seem to be great people.whatever the case, i do not feel safe having mywife drive my children around.i do not feel as if she would be able to muscle the steering wheel without power steering during a turn in the event that the car turned off in the middle of a turn as it did to me.this is a huge safety issue and there should be a recall issued to encompass all the years that are affected and not just the ones where people have been killed.

We went out to car to get in it, and all doors were locked and would not unlock.horn started blaring.windshield wipers went crazy with windshield wiper fluid spraying.headlights were blinking on and off.finally able to get in car, things finally calmed down after about 10 - 15 minutes.next day, we took it to dealership.they tested it, and they said they did not find anything wrong with it.similar episodes happened after that one which included taking the key out of the ignition, and the car was still running.we took it to a different dealership to have it checked, and they said they could not find anything wrong with it.

As others have documented, whether at a stand still or driving at varying speeds, horn starts beeping on its own along with wipers going and washer fluid spraying. After the event, front a/c control knob starts controlling the back vents or does nothing at all.no center buttons (defrost, a/c, etc..) work - it's like they're all dead.just purchased vehicle. Will probably return as a lemon.

This has been an ongoing issue. My doors unlock and lock while i'm driving. My wind shield wipers go on by themselves and my door ding goes off while i'm driving and all doors are securely closed. This is an issue that keeps being brought up and ignored for several drivers, not just my family.when i stop they will do it also but more often than not its when i or others are driving.

Making a left turn out of the parking lot of my child's parking lot, the vehicle engine stalled with no power. I had to stop where i was since it was hard to steer. Put it in park and started the vehicle. It drove normally after with no error codes but was a dangerous situation in full morning traffic. Took it to the dealer but they were not able to reproduce it.

Please see the link of people with the same type of issues. Battery loses voltage. New tipm, battery 4 times, alternator, clock spring, rear hatch micro-switch.

On friday, 10/28/2016, i was traveling on flat rock rd. In starr sc coming home from work. I crossed over railroad tracks and the rear passenger door started trying to open on its own. The door made a loud noise and the door light on the dash lit up. I pulled over. The door continued trying to open until i opened the hood and disconnected the battery cable. When i checked the door, it would not open and was smoking. I noticed smoke coming from the bottom back corner of the door on the outside. I saw a flame inside. I had nothing to extinguish the fire with so i flagged down a passing motorist who thankfully had a jug of water. By this time, the door and trim under it were actually burning. I extinguished the fire and found the fuse for the door and pulled it. Later i found out that the vehicle had a recall for this and that the recall work was supposedly performed. I contacted chrysler and they sent an inspector. Recieved a letter today denying responsibility. I have a partally burned vehicle whose doors won't open (presenting a safety hazard because i have children and they could not get out if this happened again). I am terribly afraid to drive the vehicle anywhere now because of this.

We had taken the vehicle to the chrysler dealership in bloomfield hills, mi 3 days prior to our trip. We had it all checked out, they charged us around 400 for flushes and such, the rest was great and ready according to the dealer.2 days into our trip, we got a check engine light. We went to the dealership in atlanta, left it for 2 days, and rented a vehicle. They said no issues found.we started for florida only to find the check engine light would always be on after then.when driving back, in kentucky going about 70 miles an hour in the mountains, the gauges all went to 0 and the entire dash went black.this was very scary and i assume unsafe. I maintained my lane and speed, as i was assuming there was no power steering or power brakes for the ten seconds it took for the power to somehow come back. We have lost power on this vehicle multiple times, and chrysler/dodge dealerships have attributed it to the key fob.we have had several replacements. This is unacceptable to loose power on a vehicle when driving and multiple dealerships to misdiagnose the problem.please help.!! :(

I was sent a notice of "important safety recall" by fiat chrysler automobiles regarding my vehicle's wireless ignition node module; ref: r03/nhtsa 14v-373. This was issued in october, 2014; i received the notice some months later. Despite several calls to my local dodge chrysler dealer, i have been unable to have this safety hazard repaired. Every call to rairdon's chrysler jeep dodge of bellingham, wa has resulted in the same answer: "we don't have the parts and have no idea when we will get them."as directed by the recall notice in the case that my dealer "fails or is unable to remedy this defect...within a reasonable time," i am contacting you for assistance. Fiat chrysler automobiles notified me in a timely manner about this hazard, but the local dealer appears not to be concerned about it.i thank you in advance for any assistance that you may be able to provide. Please note that my vehicle has so far not appeared to suffer the unintended engine shut off described in the recall.

My van was sitting in my driveway. I used the key fob to attempt to unlock the doors and instead the horn started honking, wipers going, washer fluid spraying and lights flashing. It did not stop and the doors would not unlock. I had to use the hidden key in the key fob to manually unlock the door to open the hood and disconnect the battery. I reconnected it and attempted to drive it to my mechanic. It stalled after about 50 feet. I ended up being able to drive it to the mechanic four days later. My mechanic said it had 6 recalls on it (which i was not notified of) and needed the tipm replaced, which was not a part of a recall. He said chrysler would not allow him to buy the part and i would have to take it directly to the dealer. He said the part is $780 and does not include labor! i cannot afford this and i need this vehicle! i have three kids! i did some research online and saw that this part on my van was a part of a lawsuit. When they settled the lawsuit, they did not include the 2008 grand caravan. This is the same exact faulty part that is in the other vehicles that are covered by the lawsuit/recall! there is absolutely no reason i should have to pay for any of this.

I received the recall notice r03/nhtsa 14v-373 over a year ago. I immediately contacted the dealership in ithaca, ny, as my vehicle had had this problem (engine shut off while driving) many times. I was told that they would order the parts and get back to me and that is might be a "few months". Over a year later not a word. My husband contacted a different dealership in auburn, ny several months ago and was told the same thing. Still have not heard a word. I have 3 children that regularly ride in this vehicle and having the vehicle shut off when you are driving 55 mph on the highway and you lose your power steering is a little unnerving to say the least. Seems like the recall is a farce and no one is actually getting the repair.

Our 2008 dodge grand caravan had an issue on the evening of april 21st, 2014 where the key just fell out of the ignition. It did not have an impact on being able to drive the car, but it just fell out. The next morning the vehicle would not start and the key would not turn or come back out once it was placed into the ignition. We had to have the vehicle towed to carmax where they completed the repair and we were fine with their service. We originally purchased the vehicle in november 2011.we were later notified by dodge about a safety recall that involved a win module and they described the possible issues exactly as what happened to us. Since we had already gotten the work done and the vehicle has been driving great since carmax did the repair, we felt dodge should reimburse us since that is what their recall notification stated. Now dodge is saying it was a different part and they will not honor their own recall. Carmax was awesome and we are very happy with the vehicle, but not happy with dodge since they acknowledge a manufacturer defect and refuse to honor it.

Tipm failure causing vehicle to randomly while driving or parked to turn horn and front blower motor on and off by it's self.dealer is replacing today.

I was sitting in a parking lot with the van idling.all of a sudden the horn started blaring, hazards started flashing, wipers (front & back) were going at full speed.this went on for roughly 3 minutes (felt like a half hour).i tried everything to stop it, but nothing worked.i took the key out of the ignition, but the engine kept running.this happened twice (same scenario) in a span of 10 minutes.this is absurd, and i have read many complaints on this issue.

I have noticed that the rear a/c blows hot air while it is set on the a/c position.at that time my kids; 2 years old, 5 years old where apparently sweating and did not know it was not normal while the 12 years old kept repeatedly saying it is warm here at the back.i inspected why it is warm and noticed that the rear ac blows warm air on a/c position while the front a/c is blowing cold air.first, i thought it is the rear a/c blend door but it is the "expansion valve" it has visible corrosion and it is located under the rear right wheel fender where it is subjected to dirt, salt and road debris...i think dodge/chrysler needs to fix these design issue since this could be a fatal issue if i did not know it and the older kid never complaint about it.since then, i have only used the front ac and chrysler charge a fortune to correct the issue. This is very dangerous situation if you are traveling on a long drive.it is the equivalent of leaving your child in a hot car on a warm days of summer specially in july.i hope we can consider this to be a recall.

Sept 2015-my engine shut off while driving at 25mph and the horn and wipers went crazy. I was able to pull car to side of road safely. Feb 2016- took van in for recall for new key fab. The following week the car went crazy when i pushed unlock button to get into the vehicle using the new key fab. Horn went off, wipers squirting fluid and doors locked on me except for the rear hatch. Took into dealer they changed the clock spring.march 2016- vehicle went crazy again (horn, wipers, doors) i got into vehicle through rear hatch, unlocked hood, turned key to start to see if i could unlock, car started. I tried to turn off and engine kept going without key in ignition. I got out disconnected battery cable and the vehicle. Was still going crazy and the engine was still running for about 10 minutes.i took vehicle into dealer they first stated it needed new battery cables.. I told them that will not fix the issue.. It is more than that. Keep the vehicle until you find the real solution. Now the dealership is telling me it is the integrated power module ($950) on top on the clock spring that they replaced for ($550). I feel like the dealership is just reaching for solutions and ion the meantime i have to keep paying for their testing.

This is an on going problem with our mini van.the vehicle shuts itself off for no apparent reason while in gear.we have the win module replaced as has been recalled in new models, but this did not fix the problem.as a family we are concerned for our safety while driving this vehicle.internet research has turned up clues that chrysler knows there is a problem and is refusing to act on a solution.

All the electronics in my car started going crazy. My windshield wipers (both fwd and aft) started, while the washer fluid was being dispensed, the car horn was blaring, and the electronic door locks were very rapidly being cycled. While driving on the highway the car stalled. Luckily, i was able to pull over to the side of the road without being hit or causing an accident.the dodge dealership diagnosed it as a bad totally intergrated power module (tipm) and replaced it. Apparently, it distributes electrical power to all the systems in the vehicle. So, when the car stalled it was due to power being cut off to the fuel pump. I could have easily been killed, due to the sudden loss of engine power or another electrical component such as the air bag, brake, or traction system could have been affected.

2008 dodge grand caravan the car dies while driving,occasionally won't shift after dying and restarting. All warning lights go on and sometimes stay on or flash on and off. Have returned to dealership several times and they can't find anything wrong with it. Also had sliding doors open on their own had that fixed then they wouldn't close with back access button, apparently caused by a loose wire had that repaired, then rear bumper warped so back door wouldn't open, had to take it in to have that fixed, basically my car is in for repair most of the time and i have a small rental of which this time i had to pay for a cracked windshield and it costs me 50.00 every time i have to rent one. I have 4 special needs children who have appointments up to 300 miles away from home. I am a single mom and traveling alone with my children and no longer feel safe driving with them for these distances. The las time the car died i also had two foster children with me, six kids and the car died while driving it and they can't find anything wrong with it so i bring it home sometimes with 200 miles added on it and an empty gas tank. I think it's time chrysler corp. Take the vehicle off my hands so i can purchase a reliable vehicle.

After accelerating from a stop light to a speed of approximately to 40 mph, the electronic stability control light illuminated on the dash board.the vehicle lost acceleration power and would not go over 20 mph.after loss of power, driver noticed power steering and brakes were inoperable.driver was able to turn off busy road without incident and glided to a stop.driver turned off vehicle and restarted.after restarting vehicle, it appeared to operate normal.vehicle was driven to dealer immediately for diagnosis and repair.

On saturday, july 21, 2018, a fire started in the engine, which resulted in an explosion and the van was determined to be a total loss.fire dept. And police arrived at the scene. The vehicle was in motion on a city street. A puff of smoke started, pulled vehicle to side of road.exited vehicle as the fire had started.

Just after parking van the electrical system went crazy.the front wipers started wiping, the wiper fluid deployed, the horn sounded. I turned off car and removed the key.everything continued to run.at a loss i got back in, turned it on and drove it out of the garage where the noise wouldn't be so loud.again i removed the key.i popped the hood, thinking if all else fails, i could pull the battery.i saw the fuse box by the battery (i have since looked up that it is the tipm) and i smacked it hard with my palm.the car shut up.several months later it did a similar behavior, again while not moving.still several months after that it did it again, this time while i was driving.wipers, horn, washer fluid whole deal.i managed to pull over and safely stop the car.before i could get out the car stopped its behavior. Since then i have also had other electrical problems, horn attempting to sound on its own, but no wipers, transmission in "limp mode" where it won't get out of second gear, and front blower motor intermittently running/not running.often stopping car and opening door, and restarting car fixes it, but more recently not so much.i reported first incident to dealer, but they found nothing.i have reported further incidents and now that i am out of warranty they are advising me it is the tipm (fuse box) and replacement cost is $800 and it may not fix my problem.because it is intermittent they claim not to be able to diagnose themselves.i would hate to have the wiper horn fluid combo happen on the highway.can be dangerous.

Our van was parked outside our house (after being driven 6 miles & sitting for 10 minutes) & i started hearing the horn trying to make a honking sound, went outside & noticed the lights flickering, the wipers going at top speed w/washer fluid spraying, & the horn was trying to honk.i tried pushing the unlock button on my key fob & nothing happened.i was able to unlock the door with the key but entering & opening all the doors did nothing.i tried starting the van & it wouldn't stay on.the horn eventually went on at full force & a solid sound.we had to disconnect the battery for it to stop.

Same occurrence happened 4 times in 6 months, dealer was not able to diagnose problem.while driving on the fwy in the fast lane at night, the wipers go off washer fluid spraying, all lights flashing, horn blaring, transmission disengaged from gas pedal, after managing to pull over took key out of ignition and car was still running.mananged to get car to the dealer next day and they said they cannot duplicate the problem, i took my car home and again same incident.i was upset and drove the car with these symptoms happening to the dealer and they witnessed the issue, the technician pulled out all the fuses from the fuse box just to shut the car up.still could not find the problem.finally after the 4th time the issue was isolated to a tipm module which chrysler factory said the part was on back order for 4 to 6 weeks and other dealers do not want to sell this particular part to other dealers ( got me thinking why ).chrysler sells good cars but does not stand behind the safety of them.if anyone else has a tipm problem their lives are at risk just as mine and my families was.the dealer finally got the part after 4 weeks, and so far i pray that my car is safe.

Upon starting my vehicle, the fobik sometimes does not fully seat in the "on" position. Sometimes i cannot start my vehicle because the fobik will stick before allowing me to fully turn the key. Sometime it will stick where i cannot shut the engine office or the fobik will seat itself into the ignition whereby i cannot remove it. I received a recall notice two years ago. The recall notice stated that dealers did not have the part available. I have yet to be contacted that this part is now available. I have also experienced problems with the cooling system. This has included leaks inside my vehicle, loss of fluid, and fan noise. I've had system repaired numerous times to no avail. Is there a recall on the cooling system as well? thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide to address these issues.

My husband has been driving it as i refuse to!!very surprised and concerned that there has not been recall as this seems to be a very frequent issue with these vans-wish i had never bought mine!

I was driving at 45 mph when suddenly van revved up from 1500 rpm to 3500 rpm, and speed went down to 30 mph. Somehow i got my car to my work place and parked it. I suspected my transmission had gone bad. I decided to take my car to a transmission shop. I drove the van at 30 mph at 3500 rpm to the transmission shop. Their technician drove the van around, did some other inspection and reported that there was no problem with my transmission. However he mentioned there was a electrical power loss which made my van go into limp mode. Remarkably my van started driving normally after the inspection. I took my van to authorized dodge dealer. They pulled some codes from the computer which indicated power loss to several equipment. They suspected the tipm module, but did not have hard evidence from the codes. They advised me to leave van overnight at the service area, and have them check it out. I declined because arranging alternate transportation was difficult. Today morning, while driving the van, wiper blade suddenly started running. It stopped on its own after few cycles. Now i am unable to start the van. Reading through forums where drivers have experienced similar issues, i am confident it is the tipm on my van. It is a safety issue, since i drive on the freeway a lot, and if van goes into limp mode, it will be a hazard. Looks like dodge is aware of this issue. Why don't they accept the situation and deal with it by issuing a safety recall and fixing the tipm. Please force dodge to issue recall, else i will need to spend $1000 atleast to fix tipm.

Received recall notice r03/nhtsa 14v-373. Have tried to get fixed at pueblo dodge in pueblo, co since 6.2.2015 with no luck scheduling appointment. Called 6.2.26 and spoke with a jennifer.

The vehicle refused to start. There was no electrics and the engine would not turn over. No lights on the dash.

They are basically absolving all responsibility from producing a part which is not fit for purpose.

While driving or parked & turned off with no one near the van, the engine starts, the horn starts blaring, the wipers turn on full blast, the wiper fluid shoots out, and lights wont work!at first, we could disconnect battery or relay & it would stop.the last time, we had to disconnect alternator.this is a major safety issue!

Horns blaring , wipers going, washer fluid squirting rear wiper moving and washer fluid spraying. Car just came back after four weeks at dealer that could not find problem, with chryslers star assistance the customer assistance replaced the ignition module and two key fobs. Did not fix original problem.i have logged over forty hours of phone conversation talking to chryslers customer case managers and supervisors as wellas dealer service advisor ,service manager and mechanics. There has been a completedisconnectbetween normal human caring and the robot like customer service.i am not sure how people can sleep at night after telling families to keep driving these unsafe vehicles that stall while driving. Lawyers after punitive damages only don't take cases for vehicles that were produced before chrysler s bankruptcy. I don't blame them. Tipm modules seem to be recalled for vehicles after bankruptcy.

My vehicles windshield wipers will automatically come on and the instrument panel will flash or go to zero while operating the van.my van has also stalled while driving at low speeds.this happens anywhere from a few times a week to severals times a day.i've had the dealer look at my vehicle and a non -dealer mechanic and neither can find a problem.i have researched on the internet and found thousands of people with the same complaint.i am afraid sometimes that my vehicle will stall while crossing a busy intersection and cause an accident.

The driver side sliding door does not operate properly . It does not open automatically with the remote if the door is manually locked. If the sliding door is left unlocked it will open with the remote.a safety concern of mine is that when the van is in motion lets say 60mph on the highway, someone can pull on the open door latch and the door will open, because the safety system in place does not lock the door when in motion.i did notice that wires on the sliding track harness on this side of the sliding door are broken.just got off the phone talking to chrysler and mentioned the wire harness issue with them, told them of the safety concern this could have on my and manyother families out there that own these vans.imagine going 60mph or 70 mph on the highway and the door opens, well chrysler does not seem to care about my family or others,they told me it's out of the warranty period, guess i'm going to have t fix it myself.

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?

Purchased this vehicle 6/30/2012 1st incident 8/2012 driving down highway at 65 mph at night in wooded area so it was pitch black and headlights shut off, wipers running and spraying fluid, horn started blaring, outside lights went crazy, gauges went nuts, and power steering went out. Pulled over when we were able (two lane road w/no shoulders) and after a few minutes went back to normal and ran just fine. The second time it happened was in 10/2012 basically same thing was returning from son's football game on a friday night at midnight and headlights went out, wipers going crazy, and horn blaring, lights going off.didn't do it again for awhile then since 3/2013 about every 2 to 3 weeks we have this same issue, van can be sitting in drive and still does it. I have had my children in the car on numerous occasions when this has happened and it scares us all to death. We have almost been hit from behind on more than one of these occasions when power steering went out while making a turn, (it slowed the vehicle down to manually turn it) which i could barely do, and almost received a ticket for faulty equipment due to the brake and reverse lights going off on their own (cop gave me a warning this time) after looking up the issue and talking to a mechanic it is a faulty tipm (totally integrated power module), which by the way has been on "backorder" for more than 18 months cause i've been calling on it since 10/2012. I have researched and apparently this is an ongoing issue with this vehicle, there are over 200 of the 420 complaints on this site about this very issue and thousands more online, yet there has not even been an investigation? i guess the nhtsa is not as concerned about safety as they claim to be! there needs to be a recall done for this model and the years affected for the faulty part that's going to end up with someone seriously injured or dead!

You will be driving this vehicle and all of the sudden the wipers will start going off, all the dash lights go on and off , all of the gages will move and it will start dinging at you that something is wrong.sometimes it happens once and stops and other times it will happen for 5-10 minutes without stopping and then all of the sudden it just stops.we have had it looked at so many times and have repaired different wires and such but nothing seems to work.now i have found out that the tipm is bad and you have to wait weeks to get it and then it could happen again.

One day after initial incident..... Start car in parking lot, start backing up. The car stops, everyone is jerked forward, and the horn starts blaring/wipers go crazy, fluid spewing everywhere. At first we thought i had hit someone... But nope. Put the car into drive- no power steering- and pulled back into parking space. Tried to turn car off. It continued to run with key out of ignition. After 15 minutes of it going crazy some people came over and helped us disconnect the battery. After about a minute it finally died. I met a couple in the parking lot that asked if it was a 2008. It was, and they told me about their horror story with their van. And how they had a lawyer that filed lemon law on it. I was thrilled. After about 10 minutes we connected the battery and the van continued to go crazy. Finally we decided to just drive home. It was 9:30 at night. Drove home with horn blaring, wipers going crazy, no transmission shifting and fluid spewing. Just waiting for the power steering to go out and have very little control of vehicle. Got home and van continued going crazy until hubby disconnected battery again. Looked online and find out this is an ongoing problem with 2008 dodge/chrysler vans. The tipm goes bad and the car goes crazy. This is going to cause someone to get into a serious wreck and kill someone. Very unsafe!! there needs to be a recall, but dodge is having problems getting the part.... Ridiculous! the dealership i took it to told me they had 2 2008 vans in the "back" waiting for this part. They have been sitting there for over 2 weeks and noone knows when they will get the part. So what happens? the people trade them in. Convenient. Maybe that's why these are the most "popular" van on the road? making sure they get repeat business. Well i'll never buy another dodge/chrysler again and im definitely not going to get bullied into being a repeat buyer!!

Driving, parked, starting, and on its own sitting in garage. The electrical system goes crazy intermitently.horn, wipers (front and rear), door locks, and wiper fluid engage.while driving the power steering and brakes fail. Very dangerous problem and needs attention with the amount of complaints i am seeing on the internet on forums for this model of van.

The tipm goes out quite frequently in these. My van electrical system goes nuts on me, my headlights flash while i'm driving down the road, and it will just off while driving. When it shuts off i have no way to warn other vehicles because none of the lights work. I'm afraid i'm going to get into an accident because of this and it's a very costly fix.

While in motion, the van will completely lose power for no apparent reason.there are no warnings, strange sounds or any indicator that it is about to shut off.the car just shuts off--the power steering is gone, i can't accelerate or keep moving at constant speed.the car is completely off and control is barely possible.it can happen anywhere, including at stop signs, driving along the road, the middle of an intersection, which makes it a severe safety issue.once it is in park, it can be restarted, usually aided by pumping the gas, and then it goes on as if nothing happened.however, shifting into park isn't always an option when you are driving in the middle of the road.the check engine light does not come on, so no error code is produced.it has been taken to a dealership service center twice, but the problem is intermittent and cannot be duplicated easily, so they don't know what to fix, tell us nothing is wrong and send us on our way.it is alarming that they don't give more urgency to finding a source, considering that the car turns off while driving.our ignition switch/key have been replaced after the recall, which we were hoping was the cause of the problem, but it was not.it is still occurring.i have done an internet search and it seems that this problem is not unique to me.other drivers are experiencing the same issue.minivans often carry children in them.if this problem were to occur in a busy intersection, the results could be devastating.i urge you to seek a solution/source to this problem quickly!i wish we could simply go buy a new car to keep our family safe, but unfortunately, that isn't our reality, as we are still working to pay off this one, so we are hoping the problem will be researched and resolved promptly.you are welcome to use our van to do so!

Vehicle started accelerating unintentionally with engine going to high rpm.driver was driving at 45 mph as vehicle randomly took off.vehicle reached close to 85 mph with the brake pedal pressed to the floor.driver avoided a near collision with another vehicle.driver turned the ignition off in order to stop the vehicle.vehicle had two people inside during the incident and two witnesses following the vehicle behind, in another car. Witnesses described seeing the dodge caravan take off suddenly beyond the legal speed limit, with smoke pouring out from the brakes and the brake lights on.driver described that he felt the throttle pedal physically stuck and the vehicle's rpm increasing, even while pressing and pumping on the brake pedal.after this incident and doing some research, we have found numerous complains online with similar situations. The dodge caravan, in this incident, does not have any aftermarket floor mats as dodge claims to be the cause of unintentional acceleration in similar occurrences that have been reported to dodge. The driver, passenger, and the witness are willing to make a statement, if necessary.

When my wife was driving on the highway at 70 mph, with my child. The car died. Wife rolled to side of the road and attempted to start it again. The car started and promptly died again but wipers were going at full speed along with the windshield washer fluid pumping out,and the horns and lights turning on and off, she removed the key and it continued. She had already called me and by the time i got there (approx 15 min) it had shut itself off. I tried to restart it with the same problems as mentioned before. I opened the hood and there was a lot of noise coming from the relay box ( tipm ), i unhooked the battery, and the problem "self resolved" fired up car and drove it the 15 miles home. After looking up problem on line, have found that this is a ongoing issue and that the repair part is back ordered nationally, tells me that this is an ongoing issue, chrysler does know about but has not done anything about it.this is a major safety issue.

2008 dodge grand caravan. Consumer states there have been five recalls for her vehicle and had problems before the recalls were announced. She would like to terminate her lease early.in june 2009, the vehicle needed new front brake pads and rotors at only 15,000 and again in august 2010. In the spring, the vehicle had no air condition. The dealer informed the consumer the part was manufactured too short and froze during the winter, which caused fluid to leak out. The problem was resolved after 3 weeks. In june 2010, the same hose ruptured and again the consumer was left with no a/c.the radiator cap had to be repaired which was why the consumer had to keep adding coolant. The washer fluid sensor was not working and needed to be replaced.in august 2010, the power sliding door stopped functioning for days. When the consumer took the vehicle to the dealer, they were unable to find a problem. However, two months later a recall was issued. The consumer stated she also experienced power failures with the vehicle. Each time the problem occurred the engine would run, but nothing else in the vehicle worked, such as the windows, locks, windshield wipers and interior lights etc. The problem was sporadic and each time the consumer went to the dealer, they were unable to find any problems.

The first incident happened on 5/29/13 while my van was parked in my driveway. My vans lights flashed, the horn went crazy, the windshield wipers were going on their own. The car was not started and no key in the ignition. It was sitting there. This lasted about 8 minutes. I went to advanced auto after it stopped and had them check it with the machine. They told me it could be a battery problem but the code machine said the problem was caused by a power surge from a relay. He could not be sure which issue was causing the problem or what relay would do this.i bought a new battery in hopes that would resolve the problem. On 5/30/13 i got home from work and pulled in my driveway. My son asked to borrow my car to go to a friends house. He made it to the end of the road and the horn started beeping, windshield wipers started going, lights started flashing and the van began to accelerate. My son said he turned the key to the off position and removed the key from the ignition. The car continued to run without the key. This lasted for 10 minutes. The van is now parked because i researched the symptoms and came across hundreds if not thousands of the same complains lots of them recent. They all said it was the total ignition power module. I am very confused as to why dodge knows of this problem and has not recalled the vehicles before someone's life is lost. There are so many complaints and the severity of safety at hand over a defective part. I will never buy another dodge again. How can i do business with a company that cares so little for human life. What if i was driving with my 5 children and this caused an accident. What if this hurt or even killed one of them.

I opened the driver side manual sliding door and then the horn started to blow constantly, the front and rear windshield wipers turned on, the hazard lights flashed, the reverse lights were on, the instrument panel had many warning lights on including a red dot on the bottom. I tried to hit my car alarm button to see if it would make it stop and it didn't. I closed the door as my son ran into the house and then all the doors locked. I had to use the valet key to open the door. I then pulled the hood release and opened the hood. The radiator fan was also on. I disconnected the battery so the horn would stop blowing. I waited about 20 minutes and went back outside and reconnected the battery and it did the same thing again. This time i tried starting the car and it started however it would not allow me to put it into gear. I tried to turn the engine off but it would not let me. I got out and then i removed the fuses to the horn so the noise would not disturb me or the neighbors. A few minutes later i got back into the car and it let me put it in reverse so i pulled the van out of our garage and into the driveway but the power steering did not work. I tried again to turn the engine off but it would not stop. I even moved the key to the off position and removed the key from the ignition and the engine continued to run. I disconnected the battery again but the engine continued to run as did the wipers and hazard lights. After about 10 minutes the engine finally shut off. This same type of incident happened before to us in 2012.

2008 grand caravan consumer is seeking reimbursement from chrysler for out of pocket expenses for replacement of win module. The consumer stated the vehicle would not start at times.the consumer received a recall letter the nextday. However, chrysler denied the consumers request for reimbursement stating the part that was replaced was more than what the recall entailed.

This problem has been intermittent and getting worse. Sometimes it happens when we' driving and sometimes when it's parked with the engine off. The engine dies, horns blow, wipers go crazy and lights go on. All you can do is coast to a safe spot, wait for a while ,then restart the van.today as my husband drove to work, the power brakes went out. He was able to stop but it was very hard and dangerous. I don't know if it's related but we have had a problem with the blower for the air conditioner/ heater going out since about 2010. Updated 07/03/14 maupdated 07/11/2014

Vehicle intermittently does not start.turn the ignition key and hear the starter click, but does not engage starter and engine does not turn over.sometimes, on next try (turn ignition switch to off position and then back to start position) will start.sometimes after many tries it will start.sometimes turn the key to on, place shifter in drive, then hard back into park and will start then. Have replaced battery, starter, relays, and made no difference. Codes do not come up and dealer has no idea of how to correct.

While driving on the highway the van stalled the horn started blaring, the windshield wipers started workingand squirting water.i managed to get the vehicle off the road, but the doors begin to lock andunlock and the key was useless.you could not shut the horn off or unlock the door with the key. The only way thus stopped was by disconnecting the battery. This was the first instance.the second occasion was when we'resitting in the house and the horn just started blaring. Each time this lasts for more than 5 minutes, you can't stop it because it locks the doors, the key doesn't work, and you can't get to the battery. It's disturbing, dangerous, and embarrassing.not to mention we are retired and this is our only vehicle and we didn't expect to have such an unsafe vehicle with a minivan.these instances have occurred on and off for the last month. We shouldn't have to disconnect our car battery to escape the faulty malfunctions. As owners we shouldn't be afraid to go into church because of the car horn and i shouldn't have to disconnect the battery just to enjoy the service.

Drove vehicle to local diner. Upon leaving vehicle did not start acted like the fuel pump and starter were not getting any power. Came back the next day to start vehicle and it started right up. Got vehicle home and shut vehicle off. Went out to start an hour later same problem. Thought is was the starter so had local mechanic change starter still same problem. Local mechanic tested computer for trouble codes and no trouble codes showed. Local mechanic asked dealership mechanic about issues with these vehicles. Dealership mechanic states that the tipm computer usually breaks down.

My ignition has a recall on it since june and i've never gotten a recall letter from dodge and when my ignition started giving me problems 2 months ago they told me there was no recall.two weeks ago i was strained at the gas pump because my ignition is out.i had to get my van towed.now i'm fighting with dodge in detroit and the dealer here in lafayette.la. To fix it.they are claiming they don't have any parts to fix it but they told us if we pay to fix it they can fix it.i'm on foot.i have cancer and i have appts. With cancer doctors and i can't got.i have a chevy aveo with a recall for my running lights and i'm having the same problem.they claim they don't have parts.they can't even tell us when they will fix them.my dodge has been recalled in july and my car in june..no parts yet so when.

My lights, wipers, horn and dash lights come on by themselves and stay on for several minutes. I turn off the key and the engine keeps running. I had to pull a relay out of the totally integrated power module to shut everything off. I tried getting a fault code but nothing comes up. I have read several articles about this and every one is the same. Apparently the problem resides in the totally integrated power module and chrysler will not do anything about it. This is a big safety issue trying to drive at night. I have to pull over, stop the van and reset everything as i described before.

The car would shut off while driving on multiple occasions. The dashboard lights would come on and the car would shut off simultaneously. This has happened while driving on the streets and on the freeway.this is very dangerous because there are no warnings it just shuts off.

The contact owns a 2008 dodge grand caravan. While driving on several occasions, the horn sounded independently, the headlights flickered on and off, the windshield wipers operated independently, and the radio increased in volume independently. In addition, the vehicle stalled and was towed to seaview dodge (located at 810 nj-35, ocean township, nj 07712, (888) 382-6788) to be diagnosed. The mechanic was not able to duplicate the issue or retrieve a fault code. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and provided case number: 32145138. The approximate failure mileage was 85,000.

Driving down the freeway, cruise control shut off and every light on the dashboard lit up.after turning off the car for a while, things went back to normal.on a later date, i pulled into a parking lot turned off the ignition and removed the key--but the car was still running.the car finally turned off after four or five attempts to reinsert the key, turn back to run, back to off, etc., shifting from park to drive and back.researching online, it appears that these issues are symptoms of a faulty tipm.

We were driving down the i5 in california when the all the warning lights on the instrument cluster lit up or started flashing.the indicators, wipers and windshield wiper fluid started and would not shut off.i could not turn any of these items off.this lasted for about 1-2 minutes before the van all of a sudden went back to its normal operation.it has happened one other time since then.

There was a recall for win module on my vehicle.nhtsa number 14v-373.i was told by the dealer that the parts were not available and i would be notified when they were.i took the vehicle to the dealer for an oil change and when it was finished i noticed on the invoice that they had done the recall.the problem is they could not have performed the recall because they did not have both fobiks.i asked the service manager about this and agreed they had to replace the fobiks then he started to double talk and said i was better off because the new fobiks did not have all the buttons that mine had.i do not believe the recall was completed!i believe this is very dangerous for a dealer to tell a customer that a recall has been completed when in fact it has not.

Twice during 2013, i had an issue with my 2008 dodge grand caravan. With no warning and no apparent triggering mechanism, the van?s horn would begin a constant blaring and the front and rear windshield wipers would go back and forth. When this happened, the transmission would not downshift. The incidents lasted only a couple of minutes each time. Both times, i took the van to the local chrysler service center and was told that they could not address the problem because they could not replicate the issue. On january 27, 2014, after remotely opening the sliding door but before starting the car (i was still in the house), the minivan?s horn began a constant blaring, and the front and back windshield wipers came on. After a few minutes when it became apparent it would not stop on its own this time, i disconnected the battery terminals, but nothing changed. After 30 minutes, i drove the van to the local chrysler service center. During the 15 minute drive, the car would not downshift at all. When i arrived at the service center, the mechanic disconnected the fuse (or possibly the tipm) to stop the car?s horn and wipers. After a mechanic inspected the minivan, the service manager informed me that the tipm was bad and would have to be replaced. I paid the entire cost of $818.00 ($610.00 for the tipm and $208.00 for labor).

The vehicle's engine suddenly stop functioning, causing the vehicle stops and turned off itself. Also the electrics malfunction made dash lights and signs turned on.this vehicle being inspected by authorized in la ca and advised me that this recall can not be completed due to the chrysler unable to supply the relevant parts.this vehicle being used for terminal ill patients and requires urgent repairs of this vehicle.please advise urgently your decision.kind regards

I was driving about 5 mph leaving my place of work and the vehicle stalled as i was driving it and i lost power steering and power brakes-very scary-fortunately i was just leaving work and not driving too fast. I was able restart it and drove home without another issue. Then a couple weeks later, the vehicle did the same thing. I was going about 10 mph when the vehicle stalled again-no power steering or brakes-very scary!- the vehicle has also failed to turn over for no apparent reason-this has happened at least 3-4 times, i will go to start it -it seems dead-but then i wait a minute and then restart-and it turns over no problem-no rhyme or reason as to why these things occur.

Washed van, parked it in driveway. Suddenly horn is beeping, lights flashing, wipers going and wiper fluid spewing out. Could not turn off with panic button. Could not open doors with fob. Put key in lock and button came up but car kept pushing it into lock position. Finally was able to hold door handle and when lock came up opened door. Could not turn van off.disconnected battery cables and let vehicle reset itself. Seemed fine. Took out later in the day and wipers and fluid came on again and lights began to flash. Power steering and brakes engaged and could barely get safely off road.after engine turned off by itself could not restart it. Had it towed. Dealer now trying to figure out what is wrong. No computer codes so will probably get vehicle back stating no errors are found.i do not feel safe in this vehicle any more. Dodge should be made to diagnose and fix this problem before someone gets killed.if you view edmunds.com and carcomplaints.com/dodge/grand... You will find that many people are complaining about this same problem.consumers should probably file legal actions before many people get killed because their vehicles seem to have a mind of their own and stop whenever and wherever they so desire. Who can we get to help us resolve this very serious problem with dodge grand caravans????

On 4 occasions our 2008 dodge grand caravan has gone into a mode where the lights flash, the horn honks, the windshield wipers come on, washer fluid squirts out, and the doors lock.when moving, it also appears to downshift to lower gear.once it starts, it appears the only way to stop it is to let it run its course which can take up to 10 minutes (disconnecting the battery did not make it stop).during the time it is happening the key fob does not work.of the 4 times it has happened, it has happened twice while driving and twice while sitting still (once with key in ignition and once without).i have it at the dealer and so far in 2 days they have not found anything wrong.there are literally hundreds of other people with 2008 dodge grand caravans who have this exact same or similar issue.this is a potentially dangerous issue if you happen to be moving when it happens.

While driving down the road at slow speed in the neighborhood, the car randomly shuts off.the power steering, the power brakes and the engine stop working.it is happening now more frequently - twice today and my wife and kids nearly had a head on accident.luckily the other car was able to swerve to miss our van otherwise there would have been a head-on.i took the car to my dealership several times over the last few months based on a recall notice that was issued for the van.i was told that they do not have the parts to fix it and that they have no idea when the parts will be available.how many people need to be hurt by this issue before they start delivering the parts to fix it?

We were pulling out of the parking lot and after a couple hundred of yards the vehicle just turned off without warning and all control was lost. Although there was no accident we were alarmed because what if there was a car immediately behind us.after that incident this problem has occurred several times which i think is a safety issue. I hope this will be addressed by the manufacturer.

We started smelling an odd smell coming from the a/c vents on 7/4/15. After a few days the smell went away and we thought nothing of it. 7/8/15 multiple lights show up after starting the van..abs, brakes, traction control, etc. Two days later these lights went away. 7/18/15 we got into the van and a/c in the back was blowing, but the front wasn't blowing at all. Turned it on while driving and it worked again. The next day when i went to work the blower was not blowing anymore, but worked on the way home.after that second day it has consistently worked.this morning when i hit the unlock button on the keyfob the horn started honking, windshield wipers went on, and wiper fluid was squirting out. I got into the van and started it and everything stopped. I drove the 20 minute drive home from work without any problems. Later that day i got back into the van to driveand everything was still normal except i had a check engine light so i planned on getting that checked while i was out.i was parked at a residence with the van still on when the same horn/wiper/wiper fluid problem started up again. I turned off the van and it kept going. I pulled fuses out for the horn/wipers/fluid and could still hear things in the box clicking. This time the door locks were locking by themselves and the lights (both inside and out) were turning off and on. I drove to the closes auto parts store and was told there were 2 codes coming up.it gave me p0685 (asd relay circuit failure) and p0883 (tcm power input high). After doing some online research it seems i have to have my tipm replaced and this seems to be a common problem.i'm frustrated at the amount of money i keep having to put into this van.right now my van is sitting in front of my house with the battery disconnected until i can take it in to have it looked at.i'm really lucky this didn't happen on my drive to/from work.

I have an intermittent crank, no crank issue. Often while driving the vehicle power just cuts off in the middle of the road. The ac also cuts off while driving on its own while the vehicle is running. I have 2 minors wich i drive to school daily and i'm very concerned about our safety.car has been taken to several mechanics, we have changed the starter, alternator and two new batteries and the loss of power issue remains.

The van will did while i'm driving, very randomly. It also does when putting it in gear, also randomly. It doesn't happen every day or every time i drive. It happens in the middle of making a turn so i lose power steering. It's been happening for months now and is getting worse. I don't do much highway driving but it happens on city streets in stop and go traffic

While parked in driveway, the horn started blowing erratically, headlights were on, and front and rear windshield wipers and washers operating. Door locks would not respond to remote. After s short period of trying to unlock the doors with the remote, they either responded to the remote or unlocked by themselves. At that point i attempted to turn the ignition on and start the vehicle. I started it and then turned it off but that did not stop the horn, wipers, etc. A few seconds after shutting the ignition off, everything stopped.front and rear wipers did not return to park position until i manually turned them on and off. I started the engine again and had a check engine light with error codes related to the tcm, transmission control module. In addition, while driving, the heater blower motor intermittently stops working. All of this appears to be the result of a faulty tipm,totally integrated power module. This has happened twice in the last two weeks. First occurrence was 1/11/18 and second occurrence was 1/16/18. Searching online revealed that mine is not an isolated problem as there are many reported instances of tipm failures with similar symptoms.

Van began making loud, grinding noise. Noise seemed louder when steering more to the right. On visit to dealership for ignition recall issue, they looked at where noise was coming from - since they heard it when they drove van back to the service area. They said it was a wheel bearing / hub on right front. Dealership said van was not safe to drive. It could cause an accident. It was a safety issue. Is this a safety issue enough to be a recall issue?

Tipm electrical problems ?(1)the engine stalling while driving,dash flashing, eps/bas light and (abs) light coming on with traction control light too then van dies or shuts off.also mileage and prnd display blinks rapidly.this happens when sitting still or driving.seem's to happen even when engine is cold or hot on the city streets or highway.(2)my van has had 4 or 5 battery's that have went bad,also sometimes it wont start,i get a jump start,go get the battery tested at auto zone but there's nothing wrong with the battery,(3)horn works but if you need to honk more than 2 times it stops working but later it works,sometimes it wont start and you take the key out and open the door then close the door and you can start it. Also lately it has been harder to start.also you can't play the radio without the motor running it will run the battery down? but the 1st year i had the van 2011 i could run the radio all day long with only starting it up for about 5 minutes every hour.also cruse control works then stops working.these things have happen over and over,in a 7 year period sense april 2011.i believe it isa tipm electrical problem.can you send me a new one i am a veteran one a small disability check sleeping in the van.there is a video of the problem on youtube.i did not know there was a problem with the tipm. I though i was playing the radio too long,or the alternator was going bad but the alternator never showed bad in any test or has not stop working.so it was the tipm (fuse box)going bad all the time.thanks to youtube, see at- 08 grand caravan tipm on youtube.com ? also a video at 2008 dodge grand caravan electrical problems 2014 03 05 2019

08 dodge grand caravan switched off while driving with my 3 & 4 year old children in the car - vehicle then began to read bad key error. Was informed by dodge dealership that vehicle has bad win module. Dodge not willing to replace - this part has been recalled on multiple chrysler and jeep vehicles showing this to be an inherently defective part, and should be recalled on all vehicles containing faulty win modules. Dodge will be charging me approximately $850.00 to replace. The win module is a device that sends electronic signal to the engine to let car know appropriate key is being used (security device), not a wearable part. This situation could have been much worse or even life threatening had device failed on highway. Dodge should do the right thing and replace.

The first thing that happened was; we were driving down the road and the van just stopped running. Luckily we were only going 20 miles per hour and there wasnt a lot of traffic. The power steering wasnt working but my husband was able to steer the van off the road to safety. We called aaa and my husband went to the store to get dry gas because we thought that there may have been moisture in the tank from condensation. When he got back to the van he put in the dry gas and he decided to try to turn the van on and it turned over. We went home after that.after that the van seems to work for a while, then one day my husband came home from work and tried to shut the van off, but it would not shut off. The horn started blowing and the wipes, wiper fluid, lights and door locks were all working all by themselves. We unattached the wires to the battery but that did not work and finally started pulling fuses until it all stopped. He drove to work without the fuses until we could get it fixed. I called chrysler and they said that there was a recall around may 2015. We brought the van into the dealer and they replaced the ignition module and gave us new key fobs. The van stalled again on the way home from work and we called aaa to get the van and take it back to the dealership. They said that they checked all the electric and ran a purge monitor test and others. The dealership said that they could not find anything the matter with the van and charged us $200.just recently we were driving in traffic at around 20 miles per hour and the van stalled again. This time we did not have time to move it and a truck driver helped to push us out of traffic. My husband took the wires off the battery and put it back on and the van started. We went to the toyota dealership and bought a car that day. We still own the van, but i am afraid to drive it.

The first instance of my electrical system going haywire was around july 31, 2014. It was a quick moment that happened while i was coming to a stop. The wipers started going on their own, the horn honked, the windshield fluid started spraying, and my locks started going up and down. It stopped after about a minute then started again in the afternoon for about 5 minutes, until i unplugged the battery. It became an intermittent issue that i would think went away and then would happen randomly. I decided to bring my vehicle to the dealership service dept in october of 2014, where they diagnosed the issue as my needing a new win module. However, after that replacement, the issue continued. The issue happens whenever it feels like happening. Whether the keys are in the ignition and i am driving or if i am sitting in my office building, a distance away from my car, with my keys at my desk. My keys can be in the ignition, or out of the ignition. It doesn't matter. My car does as it pleases, when it pleases. Again, the locks, wipers, and windshield fluid just start going on their own. The horn also goes, but i have removed the horn fuses so i do not honk at random people when i am driving. Some forums say this is a tipm issue. Some say it is an ignition module issue. Some say it has to do with the driver's side door wiring. I have no idea what the reason is. I have spent thousands of dollars "fixing" this issue but it is still happening. Here is a link to a video of the most recent occurrence on 7/28/15.

2008 dodge grand caravan. Consumer writes in regards to nhtsa recall 14v-373. Consumer stated this is the third recall noticed received and dealer still does not have parts required to complete repairs on vehicle. *ld

On multiple occasions beginning on december 12, 2014 my 08 dodge grand caravan sxt would have random electrical malfunctions including synced, intermittent activation of horns, front wipers, rear wipers, front washer fluid spray, rear washer fluid spray, and door locks. These issues would generally come together in "episodes" that could last from about a minute to about 10 minutes. These episodes could occur in rapid succession, separated by only a few seconds, or they might have 5-10 minutes or sometimes days between happenings. This would cause sudden loss of visibility while driving, as the sprayers would cover the windshield with drops but the wipers would not complete a pass to remove the fluid. It was particularly dangerous at night, since the drops would refract light and make visibility almost zero. This also resulted in being locked out of the vehicle on multiple occasions, the remote "clicker" could not be used to unlock or open doors or lift-gate. The only way to enter the vehicle was to use the physical key and force the lock to turn against the pressure of the powered door lock motor repeatedly re-locking the doors other intermittent problems. Why doesn't dodge recall and fix this problem?

Recall l25/nhtsa 14v-373"fobik" button ignition key may not fully seat in the on position and may move to the accessory position.received the recall notice 9/15/14. Called chrysler dealership they said they do not have the parts to fix this item. Told me to call the manufacture. I called chrysler and got a recording saying that they know of the problem and are working to fix this. It is now 6/4/15 and still the manufacture and dealer do not have the fix. We use this vehicle for our business and are not sure what to do. We know there is a safety problem, but we are unable to fix this because the manufacture has not resolve this issue.

Wipers/dash cluster/warning bells operate on their own randomly. I found that i could turn off thea/c blower and wipers/dash lights/ and warning bells would go off. Started out once or twice, then every went up to 13 times back to back. Has happened multiple times was waiting on recall part for a/c and was told it should fix it.(went one week without anything and then went to my van on 5/11/12 and had no gags). Sometimes occurs when vehicle is at a stop sign, making a right turn, or driving down the road. Lasts from two minutes to ten minutes. Research shows many other owners with same issues requiring total integrated power module (tipm) (currently on factory back order with no release date available according to local dealer) i was told 5/11/2012 that 390 customers are waiting on thetipm, and be prepared to wait several months as it is on back order. So i called chrysler, i was then told the machine that makes this is broken, they assigned me to a case manager who would help with rental car assistance. Later told by case manager "because i do not have service history with dodge dealer, locally that i was not eligible for rental car assistance." i am sorry we are military and have recently moved across country. So now it is the waiting game for the tipm to come back in stock so that i can have my van back, so that i can transport my two children with special needs to doctor appointments.

Spontaneous fire in the rear driver side after parked for hours. *dtconsumer stated the wires around the fuses weren't burnt. It's all in the back. Around the back hatch and driver side in the trunk. It melted the back hatch so that you can't even open it. I'm guessing where it was locking and unlocking on its own it shorted out back there. Consumer sold the parts.

Vehicle stalled on short trip through neighborhood driving at local speed.we took the vehicle to a repair shop for inspection/repair and nothing was found.we have since experienced multiple stalls during low-speed driving scenarios and had the vehicle looked at again with no findings (throttle-body was cleaned). We have most recently experienced a complete non start of the vehicle (no turnover, no dash lights, etc.), tried to start multiple times and nothing, waited a half-hour and it started.similar non starts have happened (estimate 1 to 3 times a year) since we purchased the vehicle in 2008 but it has always started within a short period of time, we've shrugged it off due to infrequency and lack of gravity of the situations (e.g. Sitting in garage).

At random times thehorn, flashers, and wipers will turn on.this has happened while driving the vehicle and has happened when the vehicle was turned off, without anyone inside the van. Disconnecting the battery has been the way to stop the problem. Dealer could not find anything wrong and guessed that it was the tipm. This has occurred on numerous occasions and does seam to be a safety issue when the vehicle is in operation. Obviously from the number of complaints that i have seen, nhtsa should investigate and chrysler needs to do a recall.

When the vehicle is turned off, the key gets stuck in the ignition.this happens at least once a day, and sometimes it happens every time the vehicle is turned off.the key will not turn all the way to the "off" position and has to be moved around and tried several times before it will turn and come out.

On december 11, 2014 i walked to the parking lot to find my van acting totally crazy (the poltergeist). The horn was honking, windshield wipers were going full speed, windshield washer fluid was spraying everywhere and the internal and external lights were flashing. I attempted to use my key fab to unlock the doors but it did not work. I manually entered the van in hopes that starting the van would stop the poltergeist. The van would not start. After about 20 minutes, all that remained was a soft horn constantly honking and the lights sporadically flashing. I hit the unlock button on the key fabthe horn honked loudly. I hit the lock button on the key fabthe washer fluid sprayed. I called a tow truck and they jump started the van. I drove it home with no additional problems. I had the battery replaced the next day assuming that they may be the issue.this occurred again as i was driving home, at night, i parked the van, turned off the van and pulled the key fab out of the ignition. The van remained running. Two days later, as i was driving, the abs light, emergency brake light, traction light and one other indicator light appeared on my dashboard (the light indicators). Then, my abs brakes slightly engaged without my foot on the brake pedal. These problems have continued to sporadically appear. No dealership can fix.

When the problem first occurred, the car power would blip: the gauges would go to zero, the clock would go off, the lights would flicker on and off.i took it to the dealer and they said they fixed some wiring.after the car was returned, the problem persisted and worsened.now, when the car slowed down (at a stop sign or light) the power would turn off completely, the engine would stall, light would go off, clock would go off, etc.i had to turned the key off and on to start the car again.i took it back to the dealer.they replaced two different parts - the abs module and the main fuse panel for the car.when the car was returned, the problem persisted and got worse again.now the car, when stopped or slowed down,power would shut down completely, shutting everything down as before, but now the key wouldn't turn.i couldn't turn it off or on or do anything for minutes at a time.the car power would suddenly turn back onit's own.so, once again, i took it to the dealer.this time they did a software update to several modules.i just received the car back from that visit on 12/17/14.the problem still persists.on 12/22/14, i lost power in the car while driving at a normal speed (30 mph) going down a hill.the power steering and brakes went out and i had trouble getting the car to a stop.i was finally able to put enough pressure on the brakes to slow the car and pull to the side of the road at the bottom of the hill.since then, i've lost power twice when stopped at stop lights.i've been able to turn the key off and then back on.i called the dealer again.they said that it's most likely related to a recall and there was nothing they could do because they didn't have parts.they advised me to remove all other keys and rings from the ignition key.even after that, i still lost power once so far.

Driving down normal road when car shut down, engine died. Was able to pull over and restart the car. This same event has happened three times.

I was driving home last night going about 55mph. Suddenly my windshield wipers can on, the horn started blaring, & my gauges quit working. I was able to pull over to the side of the road, i turned the ignition off & took the key out but my van did not turn off. The wipers & horn blaring continued for 3-4 minutes before everything shut off. I was able to restart the van & continue my drive home without issue. This morning i called my local dealership & my van can not be looked at until next week. I've researched online & i am apparently 1 of hundreds who have had this issue with 08 grand caravans. Why is there not a recall?

We bought this van new in april of 2008 and in august 2008 and with 16,000 miles i had to replace the brake rotors pads and one caliper. Then two months later i had to replace the rear brakes which included the rotors, pads, and calipers. In late 2009 i have to replace both front and back brake systems do to failure. Now it is september of 2014 and after replacing the brakes on both front and back axles 5 times there needing to be replaced again. I have taken the van to our local dodge dealer and was told it's just hard driving. I had to replace the rear evaporator at 89,000 along with rubber heater lines that you can only buy as a set at over $120.00. Now the right rear door can only be opened from the inside and the door locks only work sometimes. Went out 09-17-14 to move the van to my garage to work on it and all of the lights went out and the horn went off along with the wipers and wiper fluid pump. How long before someone is killed before they fix these issues. This is my last chrysler product after owning 5 good ones. This is do to there inability or negligence in fixing these problems.

While driving the vehicle, the engine stopped while making a right turn.the vehicle could not be steered and braking was difficult.once the vehicle was brought to a stop, the engine was restarted and continued without fail.this is the second time in two weeks that this failure has occurred.it is related to the recent recall notice.i am very unhappy with chrysler as, after calling them, we were told that there is no plan yet for the fix.we can certainly do the fix ourselves, but at our cost.when calling the dealership to get the new ignition switch, we were told that there is only one in the entire state and it may be difficult to get that part.this is a safety issue and could easily have caused an accident, had another car been coming around the corner.

Electrical issues.upon starring, car wipers will not turn off, windows will not open or close, car does not shift right / bucks, car has difficulty shutting off, the gps/tv flickers and the cd eject runs constantly even when the car is off. Had it looked at by local non dodge mechanic and was told not to dive it as it was probably the tipm. Called the dealer and described the issue and they gave me a service date of 14 days in the future to even look at the issue. Internet sources say chrysler will need 30 - 60 days to order back ordered part. Its scary to think that some folks would need to drive their car for 2 weeks in this condition before it can even be seen and even longer as they wait for a part. I don't think its safe to drive, if this had failed while driving i would be very concerned.

When key is inserted into the ignition and turned, the vehicle does not start. The starter makes a click sound but does not turn over. Several attempts turning the key are needed to start the vehicle. Sometimes after trying 5-10 tries with no start, pulling the key out and reinserting or opening the driver door with the key removed will start the vehicle. Eventually, the car will start normally.first it seemed to happen on after the engine was hot or hot outside 85 or hotter, but it got worse.i took it to the dealer, i told them i checked the starter solenoid and it wasn't reading 12 volts when van wouldn't start only reading under 5 volts, when the van would start it would read about 10 volts. The first trip to the dealer they replaced a starter motor,with in two days it happened again,they replaced the starter motor again with moper brand starter motor.this still did not fix the problem. I switch the battery with my other car to confirm not battery. Still van has starting problems.i was able to leave van with dealer for a week,they couldn't reproduce the problem, but when i got in the van all the electronics were turned off, radio, ac.. That was not an accurate test. The van still has intermittent starting problems.when winter came the starting problems stopped.but this spring and summer is almost here the starting problem has occurred again. We don't if the van will start or leave us stranded.

I have had problems with the power doors reopening themselves on this van.i have had items get trapped inside of the doors of this van as well.i contacted the dealer about it and of course could not get it to duplicate the problem.i had also said something about problems with the accelerator being sluggish in response and the dealer said they couldn't get it to duplicate that problem either.they said it was just the computer taking a little longer to respond to the accelerator which i feel is a safety hazard.i have also had problems with the overhead console coming down when the rear door is shut.i did not realize it had come down one time and i climbed into the back area and hit my head on the plastic part which caused a severe cut to my head and took a while for the bleeding to stop.i showed the dealer the problem and they said oh that's a plastic piece so if you want that to be right you have to pay yourself to have it fixed because its considered "normal wear".i feel that these are all severe safety issues with these vehicles.

The vehicle, while driving, began to honk the horn, windshield wipers turned on, wiper fluid began spraying, lights flashed.this continued for approximately five straight minutes.turning the car off did not stop the actions, neither did restarting the car.eventually the malfunction stopped on it's own.

The back passenger sliding door keeps opening and closing on it's own. The key fobs can be nowhere on our person and the door continually does this, even when locked. I have seen this complaint numerous times online. Something needs to be done. Our dog got into the van when the door was open and the door closed trapping her in there. Thank goodness my husband saw her and got her out before she died of heat exhaustion. If that had been a child, it could have had a very tragic ending. Please use whatever pull you have to make dodge fix this problem before someone is hurt, maimed or killed!! thank you.

In march 2008, i purchase a new 2008 dodge caravan. Several months ago, i started to have problems with the van.when driving, all of the sudden the van will stall.it will immediately restart.however, no electrical components will work. Ie: headlights, hazard lights, windshield wipers, blower motor, radio etc. I called the dealership that sold me the car and on october 3. 2008. I took the vehicle in for repair. They returned the vehicle the same day and stated they recalibrated the computer and that should solve the problem.on october 15, 2008,the van was back at the dealer for the same problem. This time they kept the van until october 29,2008 at which time they stated they replaced the computer and again stated we should be fine. On approximately november 13th, 2008 we had the same problem for the third time.we took the van into the dealer and also called chrysler directly.we were told that a chrysler engineer would get involved and we would get the problem taken care of.it is now november 26,2008 and the dealer called and said that they could not duplicate the problem and therefore there was nothing more they could do. They stated to drive the vehicle until this problem occurs again and then rather than restart the van, have it towed to the dealership. My husbandspoke with the district manager of chrysler, brandie wagner, and she told him thatthere is nothing she can do.my husband asked her to put her family in this situation and how would she feel. She responded that this is a very dangerous situation.however, there isno way to convince her supervisors to replace the vehicle until she or chryslers technicians see this problem occur for themselves. This is a very dangerous situation.if driving the van at night and this happens and we have no working lights, this not only puts my family in jeopardy but also the general public that is driving around us.

This situation has not improved, the win module has compounded its dysfunction over the course of the preceding year. The win module will no longer recognize either fobik, and only the odometer will light up when a fobik is put in run position, rendering the vehicle inoperable. The win module design is prone to failure beyond releasing the fobik, it may also eventually fail to recognize it, perhaps as a symptom on constant disconnection or deeply flawed design. The situation with the backlog of repairs also appears to be worsening: fca us representatives have acknowledged that the back order of part 68241076ac may be as much as four weeks, even for a vehicle now rendered inoperable. I request that the recall be extended further still, to include permanent or persistent failure of these modules. Such a condition granting eligibility for the consumer to receive a rental vehicle for the duration of the repair, and a reexamination of the module design for the cause and probability of permanent failure.

2008 dodge grand caravan. Passenger side front and rear doors power unlock problem.i have a 2008 dodge grand caravan stx. It has power windows and locks and power sliding doors. 3.8l engine. The passenger front door lock, right passenger sliding door lock will lock when the button is pressed, but will not unlock when the button is pressed. This happens no matter which door unlock button you press (driver, passenger or key fob). I have traced the wiring no power when 'unlock' is pressed, but there is power when the 'lock' button is pressed. Also, i tested the passenger sliding door, again same result. I took off the passenger front door panel and unplugged the door lock connector at the solenoid and tested it. Again, no power when 'unlock' is pressed on any of the wires. The black wire on the connector is getting good ground. I traced the wires from the lock solenoid connector under the seats and to the drivers kick panel where they go through a grommet and into the fuse box under the hood. I probed the wires again by the kick panel and got no power when 'unlock' was pressed. I hear a relay clicking in the fuse box when i press 'unlock', but i can't find it. It is coming from within the fuse box under all the fuses and relays. Those relays are located in the fuse boxes inner part, and probably low quality, so they are gone in just few years of usage. Unfortunately, relays can't be replaced by owners due to location and connections.

While driving, with no warning, vehicle stalls (engine dies) steering column locks and brakes are hard, their is no control over the vehicle and can't get off the road.i almost got into a serious accident, i was approaching a major interstate hwy when my vehicle stalled.the dealer mech can't find any problems, nothing records on the memory or flight recorders.this has happened to the mech while on a test drive, they say they checked all the computer wires and want to give the vehicle back and states it is safe.

I was driving down the highway and my vehicle headlights turned off as well as the engine.the windshield wipers turned onhigh even though they were in the off position.the car horn was engaged and i had no control over the function of the systems.i was able to start the car but the light would not come on etc.even with the key removed and the exiting the wipers, horn, hazard lights still were engaged.the car started to spray windshield wiper fluid as well.the locks would unlock and lock as well.eventually approximately 10 minutes it stopped.i was able to stared the car and moved it to a safe location.i took video of the incident.i am highly concerned as this seems to be a recurring problem based on my research and there definitely could have be a fatality last night!

On multiple occasions while driving or in park with or without key in the ignition. The wipers start going the fluid will spray the horn will honk the doors will lock..(and has on 1 occasion locked my children in the van and i could not get them out until it stopped about 2 minutes later) i've had the heat and ac stop working i've had transmission issues, lights going off while driving in the dark! multiple problems that all lead back to this timp module that dodge,chrysler jeep will not recall nor fix..and the dealership is no help either because they'll run multiple diagnostic checks and say there is nothing wrong even if you bring it in while it's having an episode and they clearly see there is a problem if the diagnostic comes back with nothing them they send you on your way because they can't help they say.

Wipers/washer/horns operate on their own.transmission shifts erratically.lights blink.front a/c blower inoperable.has happened multiple times (most recently 4-10, 4-13, 4-17-12).sometimes occurs when vehicle is parked with no key in it.lasts from two minutes to ten minutes.research shows many other owners with same issues requiring total integrated power module (currently on factory back order with no release date available according to local dealer) to be replaced.

The horn blows, wipers start, doors lock, if the engine is running it will not shut off. You have to open the hood and hit the fuse box to make it stop. We have taken it in to be checked and they tell us their is nothing wrong. Apparently this is a problem with this van and chrysler will not do anything about it.

The instrument panel randomly lights up with all warning lights and chimes goingoff simultaneously, the windshield wipers activating and headlights flashing. Stopping the car, turning it off and on doesn't reset the problem, but it randomly goes away and doesn't happen again for two weeks or a month. It happens when the vehicle is stopped or in motion, while the vehicle is running. I see an open nhtsa investigation matching this on my vehicle, for a tipmodule

The tipm module (totally integrated power module) is defective, and intermittently draws the battery down. After keeping the van for several days, our local dealership (bluebonnet motors) in new braunfels, tx, determined that the battery is fine, but the problem is with the tipm. The manufacturer has no units available for replacement at this time (several hundred are on backorder, and none scheduled for production).chrysler has not offered to cover this under recall, and we are told it is not covered under our extended warranty.after researching on the internet we read many other people have tipm problems, including: wipers starting by themselves; windshield sprayers spraying without warning; horn will start honking out of control: lights flashing uncontrollably (all of these while driving); and even one unit that caught fire. Our dealership has indicated that the system indicates that at least six vehicles have been flagged as completely unusable.we feel that we are driving a rolling time bomb, with the potential to either leave us stranded, or cause hazardous driving distractions at any time, or both.

While stopped at a red light, the van suddenly entered into an electrical chaos. The horn started blaring, the wipers started going full blast, and wiper fluid started spraying. This kind of electrical problem has happened before but this time was the worst. The vehicle continued to drive while everything electrical flickered and continued to malfunction. Finally had to stop and remove fuses for horn and wiper fluid in order to get the malfunctions to stop. Van transmission also stopped shifting during this episode. Even after vehicle was stopped, there were multiple electrical popping noises throughout the engine as if it was trying to power up things that were no longer operational. I took vehicle into dealership and they identified problem as a failure of the tipm (total integrated power module). Looking online there are multiple complaints of similar problems and failures. The tipm is actually backordered because of the demand. This is obviously a repeated problem in the dodge and potentially hazardous.

Intermittent electrical problems - replaced tipm at my own expenses. 6 months later, vehicle would not start, no electrical power - only security light flashing. Took to firestone, they could not diagnose, then towed to chrysler dealer - could not find anything, reconnected tipm connections, vehicle started and ran ok. There are multiple problems with this design/generation of the tipm (as seen in forums) - even had to change at my own expense, still have random/intermittent electrical problems - is this vehicle safe to drive - will the airbags work, if needed? why has this vehicle not been recalled and the tipm replaced/redesigned - this is a massive safety issue with these minivans!

When driving down the road the lights on the dash board will come on flashing for no apparent reason. While driving on the road or highway also the van will die without any warning. And willslow down with no control , the lights all go dark specially dangerouswhen it happens whileiam on the highway.it does not happen all the time. Or a consist manner. You call the dealership they will admit that it is a issue but they have the monopoly on repairs so you have to go to the dealer to get it fix.

The van engine shuts down while in drive. This has happened 4 times with in a week. It has shut down completely at an intersection. Even the hazards would not come on to show other drivers that i was broke down.i received a notice last year about a recall for the ignition module and i was put an a long wait list to have it fixed. On january 3, 2016 i had the recall taken care of at sherwood service in salisbury, md. I have never had the engine failure happen before having the recall fixed, and now, it is happening. When the engine shut down the last time, my husband who was driving had to call the police to direct traffic around the van until the tow truck got there so he would not be hit! it blocked an intersection for 30 minutes until the van was towed away, when the van got home on the tow truck, it started up with no problem. Every time this has happened, the van has been in gear and driving when it completely shuts down andit has either gone over a small bump or been turning. I would also like to add that i had an appointment with sherwood chrysler in salisbury, md today(3/22/21) and they said that they could not find anything wrong with my van and tried sendmy husband home in the van without fixing the problem! he insisted that they drive it (which they would not do today) to see if it happened again. They still have my van.

Upon starting vehicle the fobik may not fully seated in "on" position. If not fully seated, the fobik could inadvertently move to "accessory" mode. This could unintended shut off the engine and passive restraint system, including airbag shut off. This could increase risk of crash under certain driving conditions and increase risk of occupant injury. Also, the wireless ignition node module may have unintentional movement of fobik. Two new fobik's are a part of recall procedure and will have to be replaced. Recall is a part of chrysler notification codes: l25, r03. Updated 10/07/15*lj updated 3/28/2016updated 11/07/2017

2008 dodge grand caravan electrical system:wiring recall for sliding door.because of a few months on recall dates my vehicle has not been part of the recall ,my clips have completely broken and wires broke apart when door was opened.the complete sliding passenger door no longer works and this should be part of the recall seeing so many people has this problem.this is a big issue and should be addressed.built with an improperly routed wire harness that may have a condition where the lower sliding door hinge bracket can make contact and wear through the wire insulation.

A need a recall on tipm part which controls the engine which turns it on and off.now a recall is due>becauase it is the issue with vehicle because now the ealerships are saying it is the issue or what is causing it toturn off.as a dodge owner of a grand caravan, from the time i brought the vehicle there were issues. First it started with the vehicle turning itself off and did start back. So the dealership fix it. Then it was the brakes and rotors on the front end. Fix , repair, issues again, then issues again.so many other issues with this van later on. But i decided not to complain to dodge company.. Boy do i regret it now..it's been almost 4 years now, i still have issues with the engine cutting off while driving. This has gone on for awhile, then recall come out saying it's the engine switch, so now we are waiting on the it, still... When i have did some research and ask some people with computer knowledge on vehicles and they say by the engine cutting off while driving can cause issues with the tipm part (computer).i have taken it so many times to the dealership for this reason for the engine shutting it self off, they would brush it off it's the battery, got new battery then it happen again. Then took it back again , no engine light on , then they can't diagnose any issues. Now warranty is out.. Still no part for the recall engine switch.... 2015. Now that the engine is still shutting it self off, dealership is now saying its the tipm part which is 1200. Or more... I believe it has been the issue the whole time, so dodge needs to have a recall on this part before someone is kill... I worry about it happening to my family.i have three children. It's our only vehicle.. As of today still no part available.call dodge - no help from them. They need to have a recall on the tipm part before its to late.

I purchased my van in march of 2009 from lee chrysler. It was a one owner with some warranty left on it. A week or two, maybe less my husband and i had problems with the keyless entry keys not opening the van. After several trips to the dealership that problem was resolved.from that time on, every few months there was another problem. I have all the documentation, as to when all the work was done and what. When i purchased the van the previous owners had already replaced the brakes and starter. I found this out when i had to replace the brakes october 2011 and the starter in the spring of2012. Since these items were under warranty in 2008, the first time they were replaced, i think it was the dealerships place to tell me that this work had been done. In july 2013 the ignition stopped working and i had to have it replaced. Leechrysler doesn't have cars to loan, i had to rent one at my expense. They ordered and repaired the ignition, then my keys would not program to the new ignition, so i had to wait, paying for the rental another 3 days for them to order new keys, at my expense. The company should have know that old keys, the type i have, would not program to a new ignition. This is just the things that i have receipts for. The recalls i don't have all of them, but you have that list. I think since the company sold me a bad van in the beginning that they should help me get into a vehicle i could afford to replace this one. Ok i know you say why didn't i contact you or someone before now. I did write to chrysler co. In 2010 and they said they were sorry i was unhappy with my van, but there wasn't anything they could do. I also sent them a e-mail. They will not do anything, my van only has 70,000 miles on it. Thank you for your time.

When driving the vehicle i've had the esp/bas and trac light come on and the vehicle will shut down.i've had it to the shop twice and they can't get it to replicate what it's doing.the car just shuts off--the power steering is gone, i can't accelerate or keep moving at constant speed. The car is completely off and control is barely possible. It can happen anywhere, including at stop signs, driving along the road, the middle of an intersection, which makes it a severe safety issue.this has happened multiple times both city and open road as well as when parking in a spot.

Electronic stability control turns itself off and on at random.warning light esp/bas illuminates and esp is turned off automatically. This light turns on and off at seemingly random times. Dealer is not sure why wants to charge me to start changing parts it is not sure are broken.

The brake system on this van is a constant problem and is costing us thousands of dollars in repairs. The brake system on this van is running very hot even on cold days. The brake pads and rotors fail prematurely and the wheel hubs fail from constantly overheating. The abs starts feeding too much pressure to the wheel calipers and causes the brake pads to constantly touch the rotors which creates excessive brake pad and rotor wear as well a overheating of the grease in the wheel hubs which causes them to fail. Nobody should have to replace brakes every 7,000 to 10,000 miles. This is a factory defect in the design and chrysler is not going to do anything about it because it will cost them too much money.

The tmpi on a 20008 dodge grand caravan needs to be recalled. Used car lots are disconnecting the horn and selling the 20008 grand caravan for up to 10,000 dollars to customers who are unaware that any time the caravan will become disabled while driving on any street or highway because the tmpi is faulty and caravan wipers will spray continuously wiper fluid on windshield. ( the horn will blow continuously if not tampered with and disabled. As in this situation with the 20008 dodge grand caravan. Resource '. Customer reviews and complaints filed against dodge chrysler corporations) caravan will not excel over 30 miles an hour. When caravan is finally parked the engine will not turn off. Caravan will not go into drive or reverse. Engine continuously idles while on the back of the wrecker/flatbed with the keys removed and then finally shuts its self off. Another issue.... The used car lot owner will then repossess said vehicle and sell it to another unsuspecting customer who will buy the caravan that needs to be recalled because the cost of said vehicle repair part (tmpi) is $1,080.00 and $115.00 labor cost to fix the repair an hour. Because buyer cannot afford the repair costs and the caravan payments and full coverage insurance ..which does not pay to replace the altered or defective tmpi. Even though there have been recalls on the same identical tmpi part on two other chrysler/dodge vehicles. Note... Battery has to be disconnected while parked.

While driving down the road the van loses complete power--steering, brakes. Electronic stability/traction control light comes on. Very scary/dangerous situation. With my 2 year old in the van!! i can usually pull off to the side of the road without any power steering or power brakes. After getting the van to a stop and shutting off the ignition, the van will fire right up and not have any problems for maybe a few days. Then it happens again. Today getting it to the side of the road and turning it off became a bigger problem when the van than didn't want to turn over it would act like it was going to and than not this persisted for 25min and finally turned over as i remained pulled over on a hill with my son in the car not a safe situation i have had it in the shop numerous times to try and diagnosis with absolutely no luck and for them to make me feel like i am making this up!

The clock spring in my grand caravan failed and causes the bas and esp system to apply brakes randomly before failing and offering no traction control. This happens each time i start driving forward and is worst when going from a stop sign around a turn.

Has there been any airbag clock sensor recalls? when i am driving and make a turn the esp/bas light comes on and the anti-lock brakes activate. The system resets and comes on again each time i am driving and make a turn. Codes c1219,c123f,c123b,c2200,c123c are active and stored on computer of vehicle.

Vehicle: 2008 dodge grand caravan, in use for 20 months, 17000 miles.uneven brake pad wear.i believe this is a significant safety problem rather than a routine maintenance issue is based on what could have happened and what did happen.here are my observations and experiences(1) if the malfunctioning rear wheel brake calipers are unexpectedly locking up the wheel the operation of the antilock brake system (abs) andelectronic stability program (esp) safety systems will be compromised since the control computers cannot fully unlock the rear wheels on slippery roads; (2) the rotational drag from locking rear wheels caused the vehicle to exhibit very poor starting traction and control on snow and a strong propensity to get stuck especially if the rear wheels were on a less slippery surface than the front wheels,it was not possible to 'rock' or push the vehicle free, turning off the esp as recommended in the operators manual for stuck situations did not help to free the vehicle; (3) the dragging rotor could overheat, reduce braking performance and cause unanticipated damage to brake system components, my rear brake components show signs of what looks to me to be excessive heating; (4) the failure occurred about 5 months and 5000 miles after factory service inspected the brake system and did not find any problems or excessive wear, this is well under chrysler's 12 month or 12,000 mile inspection interval recommendation for brakes, this is also under my more stringent 6 month tire rotation and brake inspection interval; (5) none of the onboard diagnostics for the abs or esp indicated a problem with the systems, no audible warning chirping devices sounded, the grinding noise of the irreparably damaged rotor and caliper on the left rear wheelwas the first indication of brake system failure.i am trying to get chrysler to inspect and repair this safety defect under warranty outside of the standard 12 month 12000 mile brake warranty.

I just bought my van used and the tire pressure light stays on (pressure has been checked) the check engine has now come on and remains on along with all the abs, traction control and brake lights have come on as well. The traction control light flashes while driving and the van will decelerate while driving. This happens while driving the vehicle. Every time driving the vehicle

Details: unevenbrake wear. Rear brake calipers,do not retract evenly.caliper piston hangs up on one side. One side will be worn down all the way to metal and the pads on the opposite wheel will be barely touched.dealer says nothing is wrong.parts department says they are replacing many calipers due to this problem. Stability control masks the problem so it goes undetected until the sound of metal to metal contact is heard. Vehicle is inspected every 3 months and pads replaced when necessary. This is a manufacturing defect and should be covered under warranty. The dealer says after 12,000 miles they are not responsible.

While driving down the road the car loses complete power--steering, brakes. Electronic stability/traction control light comes on.very scary/dangerous situation.i am usually able wrestle it to side of road without any power steering or power brakes.after getting the van to a stop and shutting off the ignition, the van will fire right up and not have any problems for a few days.then it happens again.i have had it in the shop numerous times to try and diagnosis.no luck.....i've replaced batteries, wheel bearings, you name it.any advice??????

01 /13/18 the very first morning i had it i worked at 6 am about 5 mins into driving 11 degrees! the traction light came on without me pushing the button. Then a eps w/ des lite up?? they both went on by themselves as well. Also the roads were not wet! this continues every morning despite the temperature. Up to current day 01/16/18 we received a dusting less the 1 inch on the ground. I pushed the traction button on despite that me and my 3 children slid into a mail box thankfully slowly! had to be pulled out due to in not starting up and stuck.. This van is loud and runs behind, kind of stutters..it went through a half tank of gas in 1 day! there is at times but frequent we can smell gas.? also this van started acting to the point of almost stalling out!

I am contacting u because i have a 2008 dodge caravan and it will shut completely off in the middle of the highway u have to turn it off and on again for it to drive. When it shuts off nothing work the windows dont go down the stearing wheel will lock.

Wife was driving around 40 mph when traction control light came on and she lost power steering and brakes.she was finally able to stop in the middle of the intersection,luckily there was no car coming.she then turned the van off and restarted and everything was fine.she said she is never driving it again because it is unsafe.last year we had the tipm replaced after the seemingly common problem of horn honking, windshield wipers going and solvent spraying randomly several times.not sure how chrysler can get away with having all of these life endangering issues without having recalls and fixing them.but what i do know is we will never buy a chrysler product again.

As i was driving on the interstate in atlanta, my vehicle abs eps bas and esp light came on. At this time i was unable to use cruise control. Now it comes on intermittently and slows my vehicle down at odd times. I have taken it to the mechanic and they say they don't see anything wrong with it. I travel a lot and would hate for this to happen to me again especially with my children with me.

My wife was driving the minivan today around 6:45 am.she was dropping off our daughter to school.her speed limit was 25 mph.2 times, the traction stability control lit up in the dashboard.the engine stopped, brake was not working and steering wheel cannot be moved.both times, she was able to turn on the hazard light to alert any vehicles behind her.luckily she was not traveling fast and the vehicles behind her were slow.both times she had to remove the key and reinsert it and restart the minivan.she was able to restart the minivan.this is the 2nd time that this happened.our dealer have open appointments 6 days from now.this is a dangerous situation that others are also experiencing.below is a link of complaints...http://www.carcomplaints.com/dodge/grand_caravan/2008/brakes/electronic_stability_control.shtml.

There is a current recall on our vehicle, the l25 win module detention ring. The vehicles key can move into the accessory mode and the car shuts off, no power steering, no bower brakes, no airbag etc.vehicle just rolls to a stop.this has happened 5 times while my wife is driving the car with our 3 children inside.this is extremely dangerous for my family and others on the roadway.dodge does not have the part to fix my vehicle and can not tell me when this part will come available.they are not willing to do anything for me and just tell me they understand my situation and they are sorry. I'm told by dodge customer service, 800-334-9200 that they have been aware of this problem since 2011.i would hope that you can follow up with dodge as this is a huge safety concern.

I bought a 2008 dodge grand caravan xlt on february 3 of 2012 from a local dealer in milwaukee, wi. On that time the mileage of the car was approximately 60000 miles. Two months after i have the car we saw the oil change light coming out on the screen which was unusual for us we took the car to the dealer and they fixed the light. Two months after i saw the engine light on the screen, we took the car to the dealer and they keep the car for 3 days while they made a repair that cost me $850.0, i made this payment because i trust them when they told me that was going to be the only repair. Weeks after i was on the high way with my whole family and i say smoke coming from the engine and we perceived a strong burn smell, the mileage on that time was approximately 67,000, we just made it to arrive to the dealer service and they found a very low coolant level which means that the overheating was related to the coolant line. Next day i took the car to the service, the car was there for 7 days after i was told that the car needs an engine change which i can't afford to pay. The dealer contacted the manufacturer but all i received from them were 8 oil changes. I received and offer to have another car but the trade value for my car is very low compared to the original price i paid and the new monthly payment is out of my possibilities. I'm driving this car taking the risk for my family with the winter coming. After reading the complaints on the nhtsa i was able to see that i'm not the first owner of a 2008 grand caravan with a potential problem of overheating and fire on my car. I need assistance with this case. Thanks.

The y pipe is defective and leaks coolant.

While driving on city street (between 20 and 30 mph) the vehicle engine shut off.the power steering and power brakes also stopped making the vehicle difficult to stop or maneuver to a safe stopping location.there was no warning of a failure and the only indication was the traction control/stability dash indicator.after the vehicle was stopped it was placed in park and restarted, then drove fine.there were still no indications of a failure (cel or ses light).no diagnostic codes were stored on the computer.because this happens completely unexpected, if it were to occur while going around a curve or in an intersection there is a safety concern.

Engine shuts off while driving!!! dangerous situation if i was going faster i could have crashed with my 7 year old daughter in the car. Isn't this the same thing that happened to gm and they had lawsuits? respond please: [xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

While driving,the engine stalled. My wife had to pull over while turning to restart the van. This happens intermittently. This issue happens weather the engine is cold or warmed up. When the van stalls, an engine light comes on. The light goes off after a few days. My mechanic can't find the problem. I see that chrysler had a recall for their 2010 models because of an ignition switch issue. This is a very serious issue. My wife is afraid to drive the van because she doesn't know when the van will stall and loose all power. This is serious because when the van stalls, she looses all power steering. My wife has to try to put the van into neutral to get it started while driving and or turning the vehicle. This model year van has no recalls from dodge for this issue . What am i to do . I do not want to wait for an accident to happen before someone fixes this issue. I have read the chat forums, and many people are frustrated because there are no solutions to this problem.

My car turned off completely when the key fob turned by itself. My vehicle narrowly missed being rear ended by a tractor trailer, whose driverjumped out screaming at me. I reported the problem to the dealer and he said car had been recalled for that problem, they did not have the part. I drove from sc to nj! scary. Recall number is l25/nhtsa14v-373. I also reported this to chrysler on sept 25, 2014. My case number is 8r117647. My van turned off a second time. I have contacted chrysler three times on this matter and they have no idea when the part will be available. They refused to pay for a rental car saying that the part would be available anywhere from a few weeks to up to a year.your website says that the part is available but my dealership said they do not have the part as of today. Can you please help? i am scared to death to be out driving. Any help would be appreciated.

Van was parked in our garage. We got in to go to church and the van would not start!!i put my foot on the brake and it was rock-hard and when i turned the key it just clicked and tried to start then died. I continued to try to start by moving the shift lever/hitting the brake/turning the key and the van started and we went to church. Today, 10/29/14, i parked my van at winn-dixie and went inside to shop. When i returned to leave the same symptoms exhibited and finally the van started. I called my dealer and was told that it may be associated with the recall on my key fob electronic shifter recall, but there were no parts available yet. I was also asked if there was an engine light that went on and i said no. I was told that then they could not check on their computers for the problem unless the "check engine light" had exhibited. So, here i am--------------------what should i do?????

My vehicle lost all power while driving. No power steering, no power brakes.

This van dies while in operation, most often within the first 5 miles of driving in the morning.it has gotten to the point where it happens every single day, sometimes multiple times a day.it appears to happen most frequently when decelerating (upon taking our foot off the gas, the tachometer bounces way down (~500rpm or so), then stutters a bit, then the vehicle stalls/dies.this has happened while turning at an intersection several times, and we narrowly escaped a collision.we have had 2 key fob recalls performed, as chrysler had attributed the problem to faulty fobs/ignition switches....the most recent recall was performed less than 6 months ago.no change was noted after the recall work was performed.the problem rarely happens on the highway, although it did happen to my wife last week while she was at highway speed on the interstate.i'm listing today's date in the field of "when did this happen?", as it did happen to me today while in an intersection, turning left - i immediately shifted into neutral and restarted it, narrowly missing the car to my right which was also turning left...but it happens virtually every day now.

The vehicle started on it's own, along with the doors locking and the lights came on.the keys were not anywhere near the vehicle and it does not have remote start.it just came on completely by itself.

This is a repetitive, almost daily problem. When vehicle is first driven in the morning, it stalls during driving after about 1 to 2 miles of travel. This stalling has occurred daily at speed around 30 mph, and i have to quickly push control to neutral, try to restart ignition (usually starts in about 2 to 3 seconds) to regain power steering and power brake controls. This condition has almost caused an accident on several occasions as steering and braking is significant reduced as engine stalls (i.e. No power). I saw in reading internet stories, that 2010s were recalled after 2 accidents. I fear i may be an accident, and have taken vehicle to repair, but no trouble has been found yet. If chrysler/dodge know about a faulty/defective problem, i really hope they will notify me immediately. I have sent an email to dodge customer service in hopes of getting an answer quickly. Meanwhile, i'll try to anticipate the stall as much as i can to avoid an accident, as i have a need to continue to drive this vehicle even with this faulty condition.

There is a heater hose assembly leading from the top of the engine to the heater cores in the passenger compartment.a hose comes out of the engine and into a y-coupling, where it splits into two hoses.one hose leads into the firewall and the front heater core.the second goes under the vehicle to the back heater core.a coolant leak developed in the y-coupling, leaking coolant onto the exhaust.after leaking for some time, the check engine light came on to indicate low coolant.this appears to be a common problem, as a simple google search turns up many results like this: http://dodgeforum.com/forum/dodge-caravan/275625-2008-grand-caravan-coolant-leak-3.htmleither the y-couplings are defective, or are not designed to handle the stress and heating/cooling cycles inherent in carrying hot coolant.

Passenger side rear sliding door locks and will not unlock with key fob or unlock button on both front doors. It also will not open with a pull on the inside door handle. You have to manually unlock it on that door before it will open. I think this would cause a issue if i ever need to get my kids out in a hurry!also this van has 30000 miles on it and it uses approximately 1-1/2 quart of oil every 1000 miles. Its not showing any sighs of leaking anywhere in the engine or under the van and not leaving any puddles anywhere. I asked the dodge dealership and they said this was normal for a dodge vehicle.... In my eyes that should not be using that much oil. I am using what is required 10w20 sae according to me owners manual. I have replaced the pcv valve and still continuing to loose oil.

Car just quits running at any time.recall was done to fix some control module and new fobs.not fixed.

I havetrouble with the ignition . When trying to start the vehicle sometimes it will just click. The module has been replaced, still have problem. Sometimes the key fob sticks and engine keeps trying to start. I then turn the ignitionoff manually. Starter has been replaced already too at my expense.

There is a coolant leak coming from the y shaped diverter tube.the rubber has apparently been overheated due to its location over the hot engine.many people have complained about this on forums.there needs to be a recall to have this replaced.the noxious smell of antifreeze comes in through the vents, and smoke pours out from under the hood.radiator is soon empty of all coolant and the engine can overheat if not carefully watched.coolant and water has to be constantly added in order to drive.this is clearly an issue with the placement of the tube over a hot engine and not insulating it well enough.

My vehicle stops running while driving down the road.......this happened occasionally but is happening more frequently.this morning it happened while driving around a curve and i nearly wrecked.

Overheating when driving.coolant leaking at heater hoses, shift over heat. Problems after recall repair service performed.

I was driving about 25 miles down the street, when the car suddenly shut off and jerked to a stop.the windshield wipers in the front and the back of the vehicle started moving without my turning them on.the horn started honking by itself.i was in the middle of the street and cars were driving past my vehicle extremely fast and i feared for the safety of my two children.i continued to try to start the car to get out of the way of the fast moving cars, but the vehicle would not restart for another 20 minutes. Once i was able to get the car out of the intersection, the horn would not stop honking and the windshield wipers kept going even though i did not have the key in the ignition.the doors kept locking and unlocking on its own and i was unable to get out of the car with my two children without assistance from my family members who arrived to assist me.the car has not been driven since this incident and remains parked.

Several times my van, whether i have warmed it up or just got in and took off, will spontaneously die.usually with in the first mile of driving.usually i just slip it into neutral and restart.this doesn't usually bother me since i live over a mile from any significant traffic but, it happen twice over our family get together in st louis.scary sitting in a busy intersection and your car is dead.has always been while the van is in motion.not really associated with any turning.this happens about 4-10 times a month.started about 3-4 months ago.

I was driving 75 on the highway and my car just turned off.it has done it three times since then.i took it to the dodge dealer and they said nothing was wrong with it because they could not duplicate the proplem.

Beginning in february of 2015 the vehicle has had intermittent problems where it will shut off unexpectedly.this occurred all all speeds and resulted in the loss of power, power steering and power brakes.the dodge dealer replaced the wireless control module under an open recall that was intended to fix this stalling.after recall work was performed vehicle continues to stall unexpectedly.

Plastic y adapter that connects the two heater core hoses began leaking as a drip onto the exhaust. The leak was so slight and random that it was tough to locate. However you could smell the antifreeze as it burns off because it comes directly into the cab. I have read that chrysler is not recalling this due to it not being a safety issue. I tend to disagree with this as inhaling antifreeze can overtime can be harmful as ingesting it is. And since this is typically a family vehicle could affect younger children greater such as my 14 month old and three older children under the age of 11. Chrysler will fix this at the dealer for a whopping $350 and to buy the part alone to dyi is $140. This is ridiculous as it can be replaced with $10 worth of parts from local auto parts store. So not only is there a problem that should be recalled due to the safety risk, but chrysler is charging way too much for the repair. I love this van, but hope this is the worst thing i have to deal with going forward. Bought the vehicle new, had all recalls done to date and plan to keep this vehicle for the next ten years. Thanks for hearing me out and for your time!please look at this and require chrysler to recall to help out all of the people who will have this problem going forward and will go broke fixing this $5 part.

Driving down normal road when car shut down, engine died. Was able to pull over and restart the car. This same event has happened three times.

While driving and while stopped at a stop light, the van will power down completely.engine turns off, power steering fails, and all electrical.the egr valve dangerously causes the vehicle to quit even while driving in traffic. This is a huge safety issue. I was traveling down the road at 40mph with all four of my kids in tow, when the power steering went out and vehicle completely quit. Thankfully, i was able to pull hard on the wheel to pull over. After several tries, i was able to restart the van. The valve is apparently failing to send fuel to the necessary areas of the engine causing it to shut completely down. This has now occurred on numerous occasions and i no longer trust this vehicle as a safe and dependable family vehicle.

Van has been stalling out since i have owned it. I purchased new in 2008. It is at second dealer performing recall for the ignition for the second time. I have been with out a vehicle since 3/26/2016. First dealer dutch miller dodge kept van from 3/26/16until 5/6/16. Released vehicle back to me with same problem it went in for. I have filed a complaint with dodge . After having to schedule a appointment with a different dealer and wait for a service date of 6/20/16. The vehicle is at the new dealership i 77 ripley. They are redoing the recall from a year ago that dutch miller had performed. This is the fourth week they have been working on the vehicle and recall problem. I have requested many times for a rental car and both the lifetime warranty i purchased with the van and dodge have both refused to provide me a vehicle. I have been since march 26, 2016. Without a vehicle and i have had to borrow cars from family and beg for rides because dodge can not or will not fix my recall on my van .i have been very patient with this situation but something needs to be done. If this vehicle i paid $41,000.00 for in 2008 is not repairable and not safe to be on public roads due to recall then i feel they need to reimburse me and compensate for my transportation problems. .

Call switched from on to acc . There are no additional keys nor key chains on the fob.why is it taking so long for recall repairs to be made????????

While driving around 45 mph on southbound ga125, the water temperature started to fluctuate and i smelled antifreeze burning. I stopped at a gas station and steam rose from hood. Under the hood, fluid had sprayed from the heater hose "y-pipe". Antifreeze saturated the under-hood blanket and covered the engine. All of the antifreeze was purged onto the ground and in the engine bay. This is the second time i've had to replace this exact part. The first time the vehicle was about 3 years old (2011) i had it replaced at my local dodge dealership (cass burch valdosta, georgia) today the same part failed in the exact same manner. Please investigate a manufacturer's recall, or at least a better quality replacement part. Plastic and hot fluid apparently don't mix.

The engine keeps on shutting off while i am driving. The first time i was backing out of my driveway. It sounded like the key popped out but it was still in the ignition. The second time i was just pulling off to drive. I was going under 10 mph and i hit a bump and the engine just turned off while i was driving. The third time i was driving down a residential road going about 30 mph and the engine just turned off again. So dangerous.

My family was driving back home from a family trip when my vehicle suddenly stalled on the highway. Luckily there was enough traffic on the road that only allowed us to travel around 25 mph at the time the van stalled. I immediately turned on the emergency lights, put the van in park and restarted the van. I am not sure if this is a coincidence but the van stalled as soon as my wife unplugged the iphone from the auxiliary plug of the van.

This is the primary vehicle we carry 2 young children in and it is extremely upsetting that this recall has not been addressed.our van shut off 3 times in the last 2 weeks while carrying our kids. The local dealership reports there is a national back-order and no parts are available to fix it.how is this possible? what are we supposed to do?this is very unsafe and totally unacceptable! please help!

I have a 2008 dodge grand caravan.i purchased the vehicle in june 2008 with 16,xxx miles on it.i have put less than 4,000 miles on the vehicle.1) the vehicle first failed to start in the first part of july, called chrysler to come for a boost as it appear battery had gone out, when service arrived in parking lot at work, the vehicle started.i drove the vehicle to gator chrysler in melbourne, they could not find anything wrong with the vehicle.2) vehicle would not start (believe the date was july 30th).vehicle was taken to gator chrysler again but had error codes they could follow. The vehicle would not start again until they put in a watch spring which they were certain that the vehicle was fixed.3) vehicle was being driven down a dark road at approximately 9pm when vehicle completely lost all power and shut the engine off and all electrical without any warning and would not restart.manager of service at gator would not contact the chrysler representative as he believes all rights were lost as i had purchased a used vehicle.the fact that i purchased a used vehicle does not constitute it being ok for the entire vehicle to shut-down without warning and risk the loss of lives.i cannot believe this to be an isolated case with just this van and if so, shouldn't it then fall under the lemon law.

I bought the car on nov. 2008 , new from mccune dodge, and for the last year the car has stall on 4 different times, haven't been able to duplicate the problem at the dealer , no sensor light comes on, also have been having different issues with emergency brake pad, the shift gear , interiors light on center-map lights flicker constantly and rear dome.

In december of 2011, we decided to check the oil in our 2008 dodge grand caravan because the sound of the motor seemed to have changed. The van seemed to be running a little louder. We checked the oil, and sure enough there was no oil on the stick. We didn't know what happened to the oil. We wasn't sure if itleaked or burned. We brought the vehicle into the dealership. They asked if we noticed the oil leaking, we said no. They said in situations like these we document the mileage and top the oil off and have you come back up to 1000 miles later. So we did. We did this several times. The dealership admitted this shouldn't be occurring and the vehicle is definitely burning too much oil. They kept the van made a claim with nac our van warranty company to pay for expenses of repair, and nac sent back a report saying chrysler vehicles are expected to burn up to a quart to a quart and a half of oil for every 750 miles driven. So they sent us away without repairs. Literally less than a week and about 550 miles later we were back at the dealership with more than 2 quarts of oil documented being burned. The dealership kept our van for repairs again...the warranty refused to pay for repairs and we are driving the van as is...im not sure of the safety issues but im sure there are many that can be assessed. I've searched the web and we are not the only consumers who are having this problem. We carry our family of seven to and from school etc and the purpose of newer vehicles are to ensure safety and eliminate worries of problems. Please help.

I was driving eastbound on the 10 fwy , about 40mph and in the first lane because i had just got on freeway about 1 1/2 ago and while i was driving i felt the peddle lose power so i tried to accelerate by pushing a little harder and i felt the car gaining no speed only slowing down then i look at gauges and all gauges were non functional as if the car was off, it was then that i noticed i had no control in steering either the car was just completely died. As i coasted to a stop just a little between the first lane and emergency lane i was able to put the car into park, quickly, and turn the key back to the on position as then i also noticed the key was not in on position. Very scary and that's the whole reason i started to look into this matter and found out about this recall. I will provide vin number upon request if needed. Feel free to contact me at the number provided below.

We are a used car dealership that recently bought a 2008 dodge grand caravan with 118,000 miles on it. A customer was driving the vehicle when the incident occurred.after the vehicle was driven approximately 5 miles and placed in their garage, the customer noticed some smoke/steam coming from the vents. The customer assumed it was associated with the air conditioning and went into the house only to return a moment later to check on the van and at that time noticed a massive amount of smoke coming from the vehicle. The customer quickly backed the van out of the garage, turned it off and called the fire department.by the time the fire department made the brief trip to the customers' house, the van was completely burnt. There is some damage to the siding on the house as well.luckily no one was injured and the customer was able to get the van out of the garage. Everything is completely burnt in the van-even the glass curled and melted because of the heat.chrysler has been made aware of the issue.

Air conditioner failed prematurely, at this time the car has 45,000 the failure must have happened before 40,000. Cooling a/c is not working, blowing warm air.looking online found many 08 grand caravan owners with same complaints.car after warranty will cost $135 to inspect and refill. I asked the dealer to pressure check the hoses for leaks, they said they will do a color dye check on the a/c system hoses. Brakes were done at 12,000 miles failed again at 35,000, this time i am not going to have the dealer fix it, i am ordering reybestos hybrid rotors and advanced performance brake pads. Warning - dodge oem brakes and rotors are pos, do not let dodge install them. I am also considering replacing the calipers with reworked caliper from another source.horrible noise from rear brakes, when driving and the brake is not engaged.slight right turns also cause squeaks/grind noise that sound like its coming from rear. When brake is engaged the noise stops.

There was a smell of hot coolant anytime we were driving.i took it to the dealer and they said there was bad connection on the heater hose assembly and it would be $525 to fix.upon investigation in the dodge forums, this is an issue that is happening on a regular basis due to the heater hoses being directly above the exhaust collector and is causing the rubber to fail and thus causing coolant leaks.best case is it smells when the coolant is leaking on the exhaust, worst case is people are getting stranded due to overheating.dodge claims this is not covered under warranty.

While driving our 2008 dodge grand caravan sxt with a 4.0 engine the engine just stalls while driving and the vehicle loses all power, brakes and steering!this has happened 2 times in the past 2 weeks.the speed of the vehicle does not matter.the dealer said they had not heard of this before and i should check the battery.no codes come on and the battery is fine, along with all other electronics.

The air conditioning on my vehicle stopped working. Took it to a service center for repair. (did not use dealership because the service is terrible and car was out of warranty) repair was made and the shop even pointed out the flaw in the part and that it had be redesigned. Found out that a customer satisfaction notification k04 had been issued for the a/c discharge hose which is what was replaced on my vehicle. Contacted chrysler and claim for reimbursement was denied because my vehicle vin did not qualify even though it was the correct model year, during the build period, the correct engine type in a cold weather state and exactly the part that was recalled for other vans. Apparently chrysler is not willing to reimburse and do the right thing for a part they know is bad so i was told my only way to get any reimbursement may be to file here and if enough other people have the same issue that another recall may go out in which my car would qualify.

The contact owns a 2008 dodge grand caravan. The contact stated that the air conditioner stopped blowing cold air. The contact took the vehicle to their mechanic and was told that there was a crack in the discharge hose.

The failure recurred two days after the vehicle was serviced. The vehicle had not been repaired when the complaint was filed. The failure mileage was approximately 60,300. Updated 09/29/10. *lj

The air conditioning broke. After several trips to the mechanic which included several fillings of a/c refrigerant (which all leaked out in the environment), dye, and hours of labor, he was still unable to find the leak. After going to a different a/c specialist, they were able to find the leak in the discharge hose. The mechanic stated this was not uncommon for this make and model, as this hose design was faulty. More specifically, it is too short. The new discharge hose (part# 4677577ac) came directly from the dealer and is longer than the original hose. This says to me that dodge admits the old part was faulty, as they are replacing it with a longer hose than was initially put in the vehicle. After all was said and done, the cost was nearly $600 to fix this issue, not to mention damage done to the environment, which all could have been avoided by replacing a simple hose.

Mygig radio system stops functioning along with the backup camera. This happens randomly. Shutting the vehicle off and restarting will sometimes make them work again. Most times it has to be left off for several hours before the equipment will function again. Took it to the local dealer for this and an air conditioning problem. Was told it needed a software update that would correct both problems. Update helped for a while, but the radio/backup camera problem has returned again in the past couple of months.

The contact owns a 2008 dodge grand caravan. The contact was driving 55 mph when the vehicle started to jerk and burning fumes were emitted into the vehicle. The contact also mentioned that the headlights would fail sporadically without warning. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who diagnosed that the front passenger side caliper was defective and needed to be replaced. Three months later, the rear driver caliper needed to be replaced as well. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure who did not offer any assistance. The vehicle was repaired. The failure mileage was 38,000 and the current mileage was 55,643.

Headlights started with a flickering and random shut off, now no regular headlights but high beam come on for a second when you switch them on but won"t stay on. Multiple attempts to fix at 2 dealerships. Possible problem frount module but no part available nationwide to even try to fix it. Told by dealership used part would mess up "brain" on vehicle so used part not option either.

Head lights fail when driving at night, no high or low beams. Failed on rural secondary street . Had lights next day (no repair done). Failed again two days latter on major secondary street. Had lights next day (again no repair) . The lights failintermittently and non-predictable.dealer does not know cause of failure since the problem resolves itself before they see the vehicle.

The headlamps on my van turn themselves off at random times.they will turn off while the van is going down the street, parked in the driveway, anywhere. Sometimes they don't turn on at all, instead they just flash several times and then stay off.

My van has started having problems changing gears between the speeds of 30-60 mph.this most frequently occurs around the speeds of 40-50 mph, but have, however, occurred at all speeds within the 30-60 mph range.the van also often accelerates slowly after coming to a full stop.during both given instances, it will be sluggish and sounds like it needs to shift gears yet does not do so.this process also greatly depletes my gas as the transmission isn't shifting properly.i have inquired about a recall on this issue but have found that there aren't any.i, however, have found many complaints online from other owners with this same issue.the date i will provide below is approximately when this started occurring, but does not imply that this situation only occurred once as it continues still.

My headlights (both high beam and low beam) will turn off while i am driving at night.it can also happen in the daytime, but i notice it at night.sometimes they will just go off for a few seconds and sometimes they will turn off and stay off.when they turn off and stay off i have to pull over (which can be hard in the dark with no headlights).stop the car and turn off the car.then when i restart the car the headlights will work again at least for awhile.sometimes this happens several times a night and other times it won't happen for days or even weeks.the problem first started happening about a year ago with approximately 50,000 miles on the car.i have taken it to the dealer, but they can't find a problem.

I was driving home at 10:30 at night on thursday the 15th of november 2012 driving 65 mph on state highway 64 in pawnee county oklahoma and the windshield wipers went on by themselves and then the head lights went off by themselves. I took the vehicle to the dodge dealer and they recommended that i replace a clock spring but weren't even sure if that would fix the headlight issue. Not to mention charging me $300 for the part when i have the extended electronics warranty on the vehicle. I feel that this is a very major safety issue and dodge needs to look into it further and correct the issue at no charge to the owners, this is obviously a manufacturer defect. There is no reason this vehicle should have this issue. It is a liability to dodge if not corrected. Please look into this issue as it could end up costing someone their life. I would like to make sure that this gets looked into. Please send me a supervisors number or email so i make sure this gets attention. If i do not hear something back within 48 hours, i will contact thesecretary of transportation myself, a mr. Ray lahood through senator coburn. I am really pissed off about the situation. You drive down a road with your family in the dark of night and unexpectedly your headlights go out and you risk your families life. Dodge didn't act like it was a big deal, but it could end up being a major liability for them if they do not remedy the situation.

My airbag light has been on for over a year.i recently had it checked out at tire kingdom where they checked it and told me that the diagnostics are coming back that it is not an air bag issue, but rather a seat belt issue.when i inquired about this at a local dodge dealer, i was told it would be a $110 charge just to check it.i am concerned that this light being on could indicate that there is a larger problem that could result in my airbags not deploying properly in the case of an accident.i should not have to pay to find out that this is a manufacturing issue or a part malfunction.i hope that others are reporting the same issue so that we can get help for this problem with a recall.

Intermittent electrical issues - fails to start; interior dash panel lights, driver side passenger door not closing, drivers door not locking - all intermittent

Can turn on headlights, then one goes out, blink off and on then go off completely or don't come on at all when turned on.happens when stationary or in motion. Switch is good.headlights replaced.have been told by the mechanic that i have to replace the defective tipm (totally integrated power module) that tested bad.have read multiple reports of the same issue.this is definitely a safety issue when driving!

Headlamp lighting will go out at high rates of speed and or not properly operate at all.

The headlights will randomly go out.once in a while switching to high beam will help for a very short time, but usually i am completely without lights when it happens.there is no warning.the running lights do not even work anymore when that happens.i have been in a number of extremely dangerous situations because of this.i end up having to hope i can find a place to pull off the road, without being hit first, and turn the car off and on again until the lights finally work.nothing else stops working, just the lights.there are so many complaints all over the internet for so many different model years i can't believe this hasn't been recalled yet.

Headlight won't come on i replaced the light bulbs replaced the light switch

The contact owns a 2008 dodge grand caravan. The contact stated that the rear third brake light would intermittently fail to illuminate. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The dealer was unable to diagnose the failure because it was intermittent. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 90,000.

I have a 2008 dodge grand caravan with 3.3 v6 engine. I have a headlight malfunction on my minivan. My headlight will flicker on and off while driving on the highway, city streets and sometimes while waiting for a stop sign. This is very dangerous at night when you need your headlight for visibility. Headlight switch has been replaced with a new one but the headlight malfunction has not been solved. My vehicle has 35,600 miles and the first time the malfunction occurred was at 33,100 miles.

Our 2008 grand caravan has been in the dealership for repair 7 times since purchase.the last occurrence almost caused my wife to be in an accident.the turn signals of the vehicle stopped working.along with that the windows would not function nor would the ac.she had to restart the van twice to get the turn signals working again.while driving to the dealership for service, the vehicle shut off and restarted on its own while in motion.the dealer determined that it was the ignition node and replaced on 6-19-08.we have requested a buy back due to safety issues but have not been granted one at this time.

2008 gold color dodge caravan.

The van dies while turning at slow speeds, typically in traffic.van will easily restart after putting in park/neutral and cranking.has happened 3 times in the past few months.

Fuel splash back every time tank is filled at gas pump. Which causes excessive fuel to leak down the vehicle on the tire on the ground.

The front and back wipers came on.the back wiper fluid was squirting.the horn came on and stayed on.the interior and exterior lights turned on and the accelerator stopped working.

The contact owns a 2008 dodge grand caravan. The contact stated that while driving approximately 15 mph and exit the highway from an off ramp, the entire fuel line fractured. The fuel tank then detached from the vehicle as the rear passenger side tire exploded. The vehicle was maneuvered to a safe location where the tire was replaced with a spare tire. The vehicle was then driven to the contact's residence. The vehicle had not been diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 110,000.

Gasoline overflow when filling up.lots of people with dodge durangos and mini vans have this problem. It seems dangerous that when filling up for gas, it overfills and shoots out gasoline. Very common - too bad no recalls for all of the vehicles not just a few model years or makes, which have this recall.affects more than just a few years/makes.

The front and back wipers came on.the back wiper fluids was squirting.the horn came on and stayed on.the interior and exterior lights turned on and the accelerator stopped working.

The side sliding doors do not function properly when pushing button to make them close.they will close then reopen continuously.the doors have tried to close when my son was getting in the car.thank goodness i was standing there to grab the door, because it would of caught his leg and hurt him.something needs to be done with these doors, because i am not the only one that has had these problems.

Power locks won't work from either within vehicle or by the remote.just over 61,000 miles on vehicle.one time owner.

The contact owns a 2008 dodge grand caravan. The contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 14v373000 (air bags, electrical system); however, the part to do the repair was unavailable.

Dodge caravan all the door lock stop working and is a vehicle substandard manufacturing issue. A similar problem with all other vans is already reported on the web and poor manufacturing is the result of this issue. It is not a wear and tear and is an issue which dodge is well aware of it and has done nothing so far.

Automatic sliding doors fail to stay open when parked on a hill and have closed while child was getting in.automatic sliding doors fail to close when sitting on a hill.this always happens when sitting on a hill and sometimes when sitting on flat surface.there is a service bulletin for these problems but no recall.this could be very dangerous for a child getting in or out of the vehicle thinking the door has latched open when it has not.

While the rear hatch of our 2008 dodge grand caravan was closing, our daughter walked behind the van.the rear hatch came down on her and did not stop.i hit the remote for it to go back up and it bounced on our daughter and began coming down again on her.i tried to lift it up while pulling my daughter out and it continued to come down.this van has been taken to rick hendrick dodge on numerous occasions for the power side doors failing.the side doors bounce open upon closing and we find one or both doors open when returning to the van from a store, etc.this has been reported as a safety issue to the dealership and to chrysler.we get the same response each time, which is they are unable to duplicate the problem.we have many witnesses who have seen this happen, including our salesperson.unfortunately, instead of rectifying the problem, our daughter now has a serious, complicated neck injury.she is being followed by a pediatric neurosurgeon at present.we have no idea what her prognosis will be.to date, she has had x-rays and an mri and remains in a cervical collar.she will have more x-rays in 2 weeks. She is a competitive gymnast who now has no activity. The power doors to these vans are extremely dangerous and people need to be aware of this.

The contact owns a 2008 dodge grand caravan. After the vehicle was repaired under nhtsa campaign number: 14v373000 (air bags, electrical system), the gear shifter failed to shift out of park.

2008 dodge grand caravan leased.gear shift on the dash went from park to n or drive by itself.key out of the ignition and driver as well.

Vehicle down shifts hard and shuts off while driving.

I was coming home from visiting relatives out of state, and got caught up in some traffic.i tried to accelerate once the traffic cleared up but the transmission just whined.after pulling over, shutting the car off for about 10 minutes, the car began to drive as normal for the next hour or so.once i was about 5 miles from home, it seemed to start doing it again, but stuttering this time.over the course of the next 4 miles or so, i had to repeatedly stop, turn the car off, wait 5 minutes or so, then go again.took me an hour to go 5 miles pretty much.i was unable to check the transmission fluid as it is a "dealer only" item (ridiculous!).

Overheating when driving.coolant leaking at heater hoses, shift over heat. Problems after recall repair service performed.

The contact owns a 2008 dodge grand caravan. The contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 14v373000 (air bags, electrical system); however, the part to do the repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. When attempting to place the vehicle in park, the brake pedal would have to be depressed at abnormal pressure and several attempts to shift the gear would have to be made. The approximate failure mileage was 110,000. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. Parts distribution disconnect.

Gear shift interlock does not disengage properly when putting gear shift into the park position causing key fob from not releasing from ignition switch. In order to release key properly the gear shift handle must bepushed up with force until a click is audible then interlock engages and key then canbe removed from ignition.this problem occurs quite often and is more of a nuisance and headache. Took vehicle to dealer but they stated that gear shift mechanism needed replaced after adjusting gear shift cable. Part was labeled as restricted by chrysler and did not have a eat for part availability.called back dealer after a few days and the service tech stated that part was to ship on or after 11/1/08.

My father has a 2008 dodge grand caravan and on may 14 2014 he went shopping stopping at 3 different places and then returned home picked up the mail and drove to the top of the driveway.he put the van in park and shut it off he got out and walked over to my mom and handed her the paper then he turned around and walked back to the car and reached over the seat to get the rest of the mail when the car started rolling backwards dragging him with itfor around 30 feet and then hitting the porch on the house next door. He was pinned underneath the vehicle and my son was home at the time and called 911.the fire department and ambulances came and they had to use air bag pumps and wooden blocks to get the car off of him. He was rushed to the hospital with a crushed leg and cuts to the bone.he had to have surgery on his leg and he was in there for 4 days and then they sent him to a rehab for his injuries.then he came home after 2 weeks and then 8 days after with the home health nurses checking on him and changing bandages it got a massive infection so he ended back in a different hospital for another surgery this time they removed all of his skin on his leg in the front on the affected areas to the bone and muscle.he now has a phony skin graft on the open holes that are at least a quarter of an inch deep and he hasto go to the wound center once a week until further notice and also the home health nurses are now back every other day to keep an eye on it and change bandages my mother is so disgusted no one will listen to her we told the state police who came that day that the car was in park and after rolling back 30 feet was locked in park and would not come out but the steering wheel and tires were still turning.he admitted that yes there is something wrong with this car but that is as for as it went. Also when we called geico we told them the whole story.

Premature wear and failure of front wheel bearings, all rotors, brakes and pads. Possible failures are due to inferior parts being used during vehicle assembly.

The contact owns a 2008 dodge grand caravan. The vehicle was parked in the residence driveway. When the ignition was started the gear was shifted into park. The contact exited the vehicle and unexpectedly the vehicle began to roll approximately twenty feet at approximately 3 mph, crashing into the front of a garage. There were damages to the front bumper and the garage. There was no personal injury.the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired for the failure. The failure mileage was 64,740.

The contact owns a 2008 dodge grand caravan. The contact stated that the transmission failed. As a result, the transmission shifted hard and the check engine lightilluminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who diagnosed that the transmission needed to be replaced due to the second gear failing. The failure mileage and the current mileage was 37000.

The transmission started slamming into gear when starting the vehicle from a stop (both forward and reverse). According to the technician at the dodge dealership, there was a significant amount of metal shavings in the transmission oil pan indicating the transmission was grinding itself apart. Two repair options were given - replace the transmission entirely or have it rebuilt at the dealership. Since there was the possibility of more significant damage internally, we opted to have the transmission replaced to ensure safe and reliable operation in the future.the vehicle has less than 50k miles, has not been driven roughly, and is not used for towing or hauling heavy loads. Essentially, there is no reason the transmission should have self-destructed on this vehicle.

The contact owns a 2008 dodge grand caravan. The contact stated that the vehicle was difficult to shift when slowing down. The check engine light illuminated during the failure. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the transmission was faulty. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 160,000.

Vehicle automatically downshifts from drive to 2nd gear above 35 mph and from drive to 1st gear below 35 mph. Causing dangerous deceleration. This is not a once in a while situation but happens constantly. Once you start the car and shift from park to drive, it will shift down while stopped or as described above within ten seconds.dangerous driving conditions. Chrysler says not covered by lifetime powertrain warranty and say it can be fixed at my expense. Unfortunately, it can happen anytime to anyone and should be a safety recall on all vehicles similarlyequipped.

Driving on vacation in st. Louis we were on highway going 65 miles/hour and we heard a rattling sound. Thinking we had a flat tire, we moved toward exit and noticed the engine had died. We coasted to the side of the highway exit. We just bought this brand new vehicle 2 weeks ago!!! after having it towed to service station, we were informed the computer that tells the engine what to do has malfunctioned. We rented a van and drove home to milwaukee.we still don't have our "new" van and now the repair station said they won't get the part for 5 more days! they don't know when they will be able to work on it. When the vehicle is repaired, we will have to drive back to st. Louis with a one-way rental to pick up our new, albeit, dangerous van.

The contact owns a 2008 dodge grand caravan. The contact stated that while turning at an intersection, the vehicle hesitated and stalled without warning. The vehicle was towed to the dealer who performed a diagnostic, which located the failure at the transmission. The transmission would need to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vin was not available. The failure and current mileage was 71,000.

A few week ago, in the morning when me and the wife had just dropped one of our children off at elementary school, got back into the car, turned it on and started to drive away; the car did a hard jerk motion and then all the lights came on. So the next i took our van to firestone because cause my abs, brake, esp and other breaking information lights came and their was a strange noise coming from the from driver side of the car all at the same time. When firestone tech found the problem he told me that the abs system was faulty and i was also told that dodge company knows about the problem but is not a safety recall. So for a small part that helps with the safety of my four young children and wife i paid 675 to fix the problem. And at this date and time my van is now setting at transmission shop so that i can find out if the abs going out some how did something to my transmission.

We purchased vehicle with @ 15k miles in may 2010 - in january 2011 at @ 30k miles we had to replace the brakes and rotors the whole way around.i spoke with 3 mechanics who 1) said rotors at this low mileage was unheard of and 2) this was a known problem with dodge grand caravans.then, just 3 weeks ago, at 55513 miles, my left front axle / cv joint snapped.from (plenty of) online research, i learned 2 things - 1) this break should not occur in a vehicle so new and 2) all 2008 chrysler / dodge vehicles are known for this!in fact there was a recall in 08 for a lot of vehicles (not the caravan) for just this! when i called chrysler/dodge - they first said that this wasn't a part of the powertrain warranty (um, it's an axle!!! attached to the drive shaft) and second - if i was the original owner, it'd be covered, but since i'm not, it wasn't.this was a $500 repair job.2 weeks later!!!!!!! at @ 56000 miles, i started having front end problems again - back to the garage - this time, i'm surprised with the fact that i need brakes and rotors the whole way around again.and,abs sensors, a new caliper and brake hoses.new brakes - again?!?!?here comes the online research again... I found a website (carcomplaints.com) that had 1027!!! entries from 08 grand caravan users that have had to repair or replace their brakes and rotors at an average of every 10000 miles - that is not normal!

The contact owns a 2008 dodge grand caravan. While parked, the vehicle went into auto reverse without warning. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 70,000.

I was driving home from out of state and got caught up in traffic for about twenty miles. After clearing traffic, i tried to accelerate but the vehicle was not changing from low gear. I had to pull over for about ten minutes before i was able to drive at a normal speed again.

I had the win module and the gear shift assembly replaced 11 months ago. Complained and chrysler refunded the $1200 charge.currently the car shifts by itself into first or second gear while driving.i called the dealership and they say that is not related to the work listed above!these issues are all inter related and i should not have to pay again to have the car shift properly!

The contact owns a 2008 dodge grand caravan. While driving various speeds, the vehicle would not immediately accelerate when depressing the accelerator pedal. The cause of the failure was not determined. An unknown dealer was notified of the failure. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 170,000.

When driving the engine stalls, the anti slip sign is on, i lose all power. The steering wheel is locked and no brakes!

There weren't any signs leading up to the device failure. Drove into a store parking lot and into a parking spot where i attempted to shift into park with the automatic transmission shifter knob when the whole knob popped of into several pieces leaving me stuck in drive and forced to apply the emergency brake. The vehicle was then turned off and i was able to get it into park. Vehicle has since been to the dealer for repairs, but the part is unavailable at the moment. Vehicle is drivable, but tricky when dealing with the shifter knob. I consider this a safety issue with the vehicle and have read elsewhere of the same problem occurring with the same year, make, and model of vehicle.

2008 dodge grand caravan. Consumer states rapid deceleration *tgwthe consumer stated while driving with the cruise control activated, the vehicle suddenly down shifted to what he believed was third gear. The braking effect of the lower gear caused a substantial increase in the engine speed to around the red line area. The rapid acceleration lasted about five seconds and the cruise control was disengaged as quickly as possible. The consumer stated the same incident happened three weeks prior. According to the dealer, it was anormal operation of the vehicle calledinteractive cruise control and it was more noticeable due to the vehicle having a 6 speed transmission and the vehicle would up and down shift more to keep the vehicle at its set speed.

There was no warning signs as to the following happening.my husband & 2 year old daughter were in the car and about to get onhighway 101 ventura ca., in our 2008 dodge minivan.miles on vehicle:50,000.the van was running but would not accelerate & he had to coast to the side of the road.i am the mother of the 2 year old that was in the van, i am also a nurse who has worked in a level one trauma hospital & have seen the results of terrible accidents.my concern is that if my husband & daughter were on the highway & trapped in a lane that they could not get over in this could of been a fatality.dealership tells us that there is a crack in the transmission that caused the above situation.we had our van at a the local dealership in june 2010 for a different recall & they did a diagnostic test, so they said....and now this.2.my inlaws just bought a 2008 dodge minivan 43,000 miles & one week after they bought it the same thing happened to them on vacation.

Poor transmission designrobert c hodgkiss gentlemen:i recently bought a 2008 dodge grand caravan and while going down a long steep section of roadway i down shifted the transmission to slow the van down but being such a steep grade the van increased speed causing the transmission to automatically shift to the next higher gear, ending up free wheeling, leaving only the breaks to slow the van down. (if you are going to fast to start with it won?t even down shift). Now i asked the mechanic, what happens if i loose my brakes, the answer he had was it?s a design feature, so i concluded that if i would push on the emergency break, which locks, that would put me into an uncontrolled slide which makes no sense at all.i strongly believe that this is a very serious problem that must be addressed. What if you are coming down a mountain road while towing a trailer, you would have to apply the breaks to keep the transmission in a lower gear. What happens if your breaks fail, that?s right the van shift up to freewheeling? leaving you to do what, use the emergency break which locks you into a skid. Because the emergency brake pedal has to be pushed the second time to unlock.now i ?am sure everybody can remain calm and remember to do all this while towing a trailer with your wife and six children in the back of the van, screaming what is the matter?

Powetrain-automatic transmission.1.made grinding noise when in drive or reverse gears2.occurred all the time up until the transmission finally gave out.3.teardown of automatic transmission and rebuild/replacement of "thrust bearings" and other parts determined by the dealerships service department.

2008 dodge grand caravan engine light came on while driving.transmission started back into limp mode.took to back to dealer on 05/03/08 for evaluation.dealer kept vehicle for one week and finally tore transmission down and replaced internal parts.

2008 dodge grand caravan sxt. The dealership never made customer aware of an internal memo (rrt - rapid response transmissal) to fix main lthrust bearing in transmission in summer of 2009. Transmission must be replaced as of july of 2010. Dealer/manufacturer is not cooperating. The dealership had information in july 2009 while vehicle was under factory warranty and never made customer aware of bearing problem. Vehicle has since passed out of warranty and dealer is charging $5000.00 to fix transmission. I believe this situation to be border line fraud with very dangerous ramifications to my wife and three children.

Brakes, transmission, doors.

Transmission is going out at 64,000 miles.

I am writing to chrysler canada because we are very unhappy with our 2008 dodge grand caravan, one that i would classify as a runaway vehicle creating a potential safety hazard.current odometer reading 25347this vehicle went for its first service february 9, 2009 to a vehicle check-up peace of mind inspection. Primarily with an inquiry to check the brake system since the brake pedal felt somewhat spongy when applied. The inspection indicated the brakes pulsated because of a warped disk. The warped disk is most likely caused by high heat generated from prolonged braking.this appears to be in contradiction with the instruction in the 2008 dodge owner's manual page 334 under note:to select the proper gear position for maximum deceleration (engine breaking), simply press and hold the gear selector lever to the left (-). The transmission will shift to the range from which the vehicle can best be slowed down. This is clearly not providing the desired result.to assist the vehicle in maintaining control downhill, shifting the automatic transmission into 3rd gear(at 60 kph.) should enable the vehicle to maintain control without having to 'ride the brakes'. This is not the case; the electronics controlling the shifting system in the automatic transmission drops out of low gear (3rd) into high gear (d) under the slightest downhill momentum, thus making it impossible to control the speed of the vehicle.page 337 in the 208 dodge owner's manual specifically warns that riding the brakes can lead to brake failure and possibly an accident.as we have experienced to our horror on numerous occasions driving on the west coast (vancouver island), while trying to maintain vehicle control on a downhill stretch of paved road, this 4 speed electronic transmission system is incapable of providing any engine braking assistance whatsoever.the only alternative is to ride the brakes to maintain vehicle control.

When took vehicle in for a replacement wheel bearing hub assembly, was informed by mechanic that an additional wheel bearing was also bad and needed to be replaced as well. The vehicle was making low pitched noise at about 40 mph+ and shaking upon braking. Mechanic said that it was unusual to see wheel bearings go at less than about 80,000 miles. Called chrysler, said even with full powertrain warranty, these wheel bearings would not be covered, should have purchased extended warranties.

Car was making noise and shaking when braking, or acceleration around 40 mph.i thought brakes were the problem, when i took car in to brake and alignment center, they diagnosed problem as need to replace wheel bearing/frt hub assembly at 50k miles. Mechanic said usually they don't see this problem until 80,000 miles if at all. Called chrysler, said not part of power train warranty, should have purchase extended warranty.

7 year old child tangled up in rear seatbelt, causing us to have to cut seatbelt, as each attempt to free him from seatbelt caused the belt to tighten.

I recently purchased a 2008 dodge caravan and discovered that i couldn't get all the car seats in.we called several friends to see what they do, and they say that they gave up after getting bloody knuckles trying to put the seats in and now don't use one. The car manufacturers claim that because there are 7 seat-belts that it is a seven passenger vehicle.this leads to parents getting frustrated because they can't fit the car seats, so they let their child go without.the back seat has 3 seat belts but it is impractical to get 3 car seats, or booster seats in.there is a gap in what the safety guidelines require and what the manufacturers are selling.this leads to parents giving up and children suffering the consequences.i am a fireman and experience won't let me give in to letting my children travel unsafely.surely, the manufacturers can add 4-5 inches of hip room, allowing 3 child seats to fit where there are 3 seat belts.

Rear seat is electric and it will notwork. I justboughtthis van lastyearandtheseatlocksup.this seat is electric. Ifthere'sanythingyoucan do for me _thank you.

On going problem. I've never had so much trouble with brakes. I change them out atleast twice a year, which in my opinion is crazy. I have had a set replaced for free due to the lifetime warranty on the brakes. I have changed out rotors and all. Something needs to be done about this.

Rear passenger side brake caliper has seized up

As i was driving, the dashboard on the van went absolutely insane! then it just shut down completely. Everything is locked up, even the brakes. It won't even let me take the keys out of the ignition! it started working after about an hour. I have had nothing but problems from the months of owning it!!! chrysler is not much help at all either. They can make a nice car but they have never stood behind the problems they have, i know that because i have owned 3 chryslers in a row!

We were driving on the freeway when a strong odor was coming into the vehicle.i pulled off on the next exit ramp to check were the smell was coming from.the back rotor failed (locked up), on the rear drivers side, turning the rotors white hot and causing them to smoke.drove vehicle home after a half hour and vehicle was fine but this keeps occurring for the next two months every time the vehicle is driven over 15 minutes.bring vehicle into dodge dealership and ask why the braking system keeps failing and the told me a tsb has been issued and is a known problem.dealership stated they are having numerous problems with the brakes on this model.they agreed to replace the front brake pads/rotors for $100 but i had to pay to have the rear brakes/rotors replaced.it is now two weeks later and i am having the same problems with the rear brakes !!!!!!!!!!!i have never experienced so many problems with a vehicle as this vehicle.five recalls and various other issues with this poc !!!!!!!!!!!there are numerous complaints about the brakes of this vehicle please google and see for yourself.the brakes on this vehicle need to be recalled before someone is killed.....please look into this issue and have the brakes on this vehicle recalled before someone dies !!!!!!!!!!!i have three children and do not feel safe in this vehicle but like most americans i can not afford to purchase another new vehicle !!!!!!!!this is a major safety issue !!!!i have bailed out dodge twice now and no more.....start protecting the consumer and not corporate america !!!!!!!!!!!thank you !!!!!!!!!!!

I saved 15,000 dollars not easy wanted to buy my girlfriend a minivan and this is what i got. 4 months later front end started shaking and grinding seriously checked brakes in rear rotors looked shot and brakes were crumbling checked fronts same thing changed them and happened again 4 months later i didn't know buy purchasing this van it would put her and the kids in danger something needs to b done thanks. Also the dealer who sold me this vehicle most likely new of this problem and sold it anyway they should also be held accountable.

The manufacturer was notified of the defect but no solution was offered. The failure mileage was 96,000.

We are having to replace our brake pads and rotors and calipers way too often!! it started in 9-2010 and just continues to guess worse. We have taken the van to the dealership for some of the repairs and my husband who is a mechanic and has done some of the repairs himself. Either way this is a serious design flaw on chrysler part and they need to step up and protect their loyal customers and our families!!! hello chrysler-most of us who have a mini van do so because we drive our children in them!!! unfortunately for our family who lives paycheck to paycheck we did not know about the brakes issues on these 2008 models until about a week ago when we were researching what could keep going wrong with our brakes. I have driven chrysler vehicles most of my life and suffered thru the "mini van transmission issues" on 2 of those but they were older models and years ago so we thought we would be safe from those issues when we purchased our "used" 2008 van but instead we just traded those problems for brake issues!!! i hate to say this because we have been long long long time chrysler buyers, but no more~~~~~we have had this van since 2009 and never heard of this problem until i discover this web site, so cudos and thank you very much nhtsa!!!!! buyer beware!!!!

I wanted to register a complaint about the brakes on our 2008 dodge grand caravan.they are not designed properly for the vehicle they are on, as they are having to be replaced every 3,000 - 4,000 miles.chrysler knows it is an issue, but they will not offer an effective solution.they blame it on our driving style, but that is not correct.we currently own a ford taurus which is driven more than the van, and the brakes last 40,000 miles plus.we have owned 10-15 cars in our driving life, and they all have the brakes replaced around 40,000 miles.the caravan also has to have the rear brakes changed quite often, which typically only happens 1 time in the 100,000 mile life of our other cars.i did a google search for "brake life expectancy", and the third link pulled up was the following forum where many other drivers have complained about the same issue.http://townhall-talk.edmunds.com/direct/view/.f1bbe4ajust wanted to pass along my concerns.thanks!!

When i put the van in drive or reverse, there was a loud noise coming from the steering wheel area.i brought the van to the dodge dealer to fix it.he said a few codes had to be done and a fuel injection cleaning.i waited for the van for three hours and it was returned to me at a cost of $263.i drove down the road and the same noise was there as if it had not been touched.i brought the van immediately back to the dealer and was told it was the power brake module and that it was on back order. He took the van and told me to get a rental. It will be two weeks this thursday (rental car totaling over $700) and i am still waiting for the van.

We have been replacing our brakes every 4 months our mechanic says the braking system for this van was designed too small love the van but will trade in for something more safe we do have 4 children in our van daily and with the brakes wearing out so quickly we don't know when the brakes are gonna go out next...very disappointed there has not been a recall of some sort.

While driving on the freeway, the traffic was very heavy, hence i had to apply the brakes frequently over a distance of approximately 15-20 miles.as a result of overheating of the brake drums, one of the brake calipers 'froze' (i.e. The brake piston stuck in extended position) and created even more overheating and excessive wear on the brake pad and rotors.in extreme cases, this can cause the rotor to lock up with loss of vehicle control.in my opinion, the brakes design is insufficient for the weight of the vehicle.this is confirmed by the fact that chrysler replacement procedure/parts now specify a semi-metallic brake pad, similar to what is often used on race cars to handle the excess heat.

The contact owns a 2008 dodge grand caravan. The contact stated that after stopping the vehicle and attempting to accelerate, the brakes engaged and released several time before operating normally. The contact indicated that the electronic stability program and the brake assist system warning lights were illuminated during the incident. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired.

The contact owns a 2008 dodge grand caravan. The contact stated that the brakes had to be replaced prematurely. The rear brakes were originally replaced at 41,000 miles. The contact stated that the brakes failed shortly after the replacement due to the rear calibers not releasing. The failure caused the rear rotors and brake pads to wear prematurely.the dealer advised that the parts needed for the repair were on backorder to the issue being widespread for the make and model. The vehicle was not repaired. The vin was not available. The failure and the current mileages were 41,000.

I have had to replace the brakes on my grand caravan two times so far.i had to replace them after approximately 18,000 miles and next at 44,000 miles. I do mostly city driving and only put around 10k a year on the car. Currently there is a grinding sound. I will need to have it looked at by the dealer. At least three times the caliper stuck and you could smell the burning of the brake pad.in the most recent instance the heat was so high on the right drivers side front brake, that it melted the valve stem plastic cap.i have paid now approximately 1,800 dollars to the replace brakes.after the last time i paid for them to install some sort of adapter to help with the known brake issue on this model.obviously, it did not work.the heat generated is very high and could be dangerous.this is an issue that is well known against this model year and car....updated 10/7/2014

Purchased new 2008 grand caravan.brakes started squealing at 18,000 miles, had dealer check and they said all was ok. At 37,500 miles, brakes failed. Called dodge dealer who advised that warranty extended by dodge to 36000 miles had expired.i had brakes rebuilt at local master mechanic, who also found 2 faulty wheel bearings. Cost was over $1,000.i contacted chrysler corp who agreed to pay 1/2 of the repair bill.since then we have had the brakes replaced 2 additional times, calipers stick heating up the wheel constantly.we finally traded in this vehicle 2 weeks ago, our 4th new and last dodge product.the brakes are underengineered on this vehicle. Ps: the original dodge dealer told me that chrysler said if any vans come in under 36,000 mi to repair them at no chargebut no recall was issued. The mfg warranty on brakes is 12,000 miles. 37500 miles on original sealed wheel bearings is unacceptable. Also unacceptable is a brake system that cannot be relied on.

Purchased used 2008 grand caravan 2/12/10 with 29,695 miles, all four rotors and pads needed to be replaced by 39,471 miles on 03/23/11. Now at 52,500 miles and 10/10/12 all rotors and pads need to be replaced again. Brakes should not wear like this. Dodge is aware of the problem and does nothing.

Premature wear and failure of front wheel bearings, all rotors, brakes and pads. Possible failures are due to inferior parts being used during vehicle assembly.

The rear passenger brake seized up intermittently on a trip.would occasionally free up after not using brakes for a while but then would seize up again producing a lot of heat, a grating sound and wearing down that pad completely.

At only 58,000 miles, the anti lock brake modular failed.chrysler warranty covers 70,000 miles or 7 years, which ever comes first.there is a serious problem with chrysler vehicle brake modules. Brake warning light and other lights went on in dashboard.while driving in the rain, vehicle does not stop as it should when the anti lock system is working.

As i was driving on the highway, the rear brake calipers on either side became stuck.i stopped at a traffic light, and smoke was coming from the rear wheels.the caliper stuck to the brake pads on both rear wheels and became burned on.the vehicle requires new brake pads, rotors, calipers, and caliper brackets to be installed.this is a huge fire hazard.i am lucky that nothing caught on fire under the vehicle.

Heavy vibration coming from front brakes when braking from highway speed. Squealing in rear brakes also. Had to replace all 4 rotors and all pads. We are now at 95,000 miles and currently on the 4th set of rotors and pads both front and rear for the same problems every time. Each set of rotors and pads only lasted about 20,000 miles. Each time the problem happened we took it to the dodge dealer and were told all 4 rotors needed replacement as well as all pads at all 4 corners. The very first set was replaced free of charge for some reason, but every set of rotors and pads after that was out of pocket cost for me. This is excessive at best.

I have replaced brake pads and rotors 3 times in the last three years and i now have to bring in my van to have brake pads and rotors replaced yet again.chrysler says they don't have an issue, however they have numerous complaints on the web plus they did one recall where all they did was replace the pads.they would not replace pads on my van since i had already done so.the pads had been replaced once before i purchased the van also.i have about 80,000 miles on my van and this will be the fifth or sixth set of brake pads on this van.

Jan 2015 was driving 40 miles per hour slowing down for red light abs light came on and rear left side brakes locked up and released shortly after replaced brake pads. April 2015 van felt like it was dragging found brake pads worn again. August 2015 same problem replaced pads rotor caliper caliper bracket and guide pins van ran great. Two days later smoke began pouring out of the rear left side wheel well, stopped to check it was so hot could feel the heat 6 inches away. Caliper needs to be replaced again after 2 days (28miles). Wife loves the van but this problem is getting old fast. Being disabled cannot afford to keep paying to have the same problem fixed every 3 or 4 months.

The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for diagnostics. The mechanic advised the contact that the brake pads and rotors would have to be replaced due to excessive corrosion and pitting. The vehicle was repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 57,000.

I have to have my brake pads and rotors replaced many times.i just had new pads put on in july 2012 and will need new pads again in december 2012.my pads don't even last a year.this is very unsafe as the brakes start to deteriorate so rapidly i need to have them checked every three months during an oil change.

Purchased 2008 grand caravan march 2009 with 14,000 miles. On may 13, 2009 had brakes checked due to squeaking and excessive brake dust at duluth minnesota dodge dealer. Told they were fine. Found out that found out there was a tsb report on this problem. This was at 18,000 miles and i had to replace brake pads and had rotors ground down. Called dealer(luther dodge in hudson,mn) they said it was my problem. Brakes only warranty to 12000 miles. Called dodge customer service. They basically laughed at me. Now need new brake pads and rotors again. Have read 100's of complaints and the company issued a tsb knowing there was something wrong with the product but refuse to replace or fix the problem.

The brakes get really hot and overheat all the time. Gas mileage verylow 13 miles to the gallon highway. At 6800 miles front brakes went into rotors without any warning, took to dealership theyreplaced pads and resurfaced rotors. They gave me know explanation what caused this. Still had problems took it in again in june told them something was still wrong they said they checked nothing wrong. About two weeks ago noise from back brakes took it in got a estimate they said something really mess up in the brake system need whole brake job calibers etc. Back tires need to bereplaced radiator cap leaking 3500.00 to fix. 15200 miles on car declared unsafe to drive. Took it back to dealership today theysaid my 12000 mile brake warranty was up i would have to pay for repairs. Left car they called me and said the back brakes where getting really hot burned up stated i must be driving with parking brake on need new pads front and back it was going to cost like 600 dollars. Said don't know why fuel mileage was so poor that my driving habits where causing brakes to wear out fast. The radiator cap was leaking bad replaced that. Told them i was going to get a third opinion because i didn't believe it was due to my driving habits. Supposed to pick up today came home research complaints on dodge caravan 2008. Was looking to file complaint on dealership and car and to see what my options where since i felt i was getting mistreated and what the laws where since i felt the car was a lemon.

On a recent trip from florida, our 2008 dodge van experienced rear brake failure. While traveling on i-75, at highway speed, 70mph, the rear brakes seized, causing smoke , the rotors heating to the point being red hot, all causing difficultly in stopping. After letting the brakes cool and making our way to a repair facility, we were told that the rear calipers had seized, frozen in place causing the brakes to overheat and burn. The cost of replacing the brakes, calipers and other parts cost over $575.00 plus the loss of a day traveling andover night stay. We were told that t the brakes were failed and could have easily caused a fire due the amount of heat generated or a crash.

The contact owns a 2008 dodge grand caravan. The contact stated the rear calipers began to heat up and the rear wheels also locked. The tread came off of both tires because of the failure. The contact took the vehicle to a mechanic who stated the calipers failed and were a manufacturer's defect. The manufacturer did not inspect the vehicle. The vin was not available. The failure mileage was unknown, but the current mileage was 80,000.

The contact owns a 2008 dodge grand caravan. While driving approximately 35 mph, the steering wheel began to vibrate and the vehicle exhibited an abnormal grinding sound while applying the brakes.

The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 7,000.

2008 dodge caravan se... Brake caliper seized up. Caused premature wear and tear on both the brake pad and rotor. Vehicle begins to shake violently at 30 mph+. The calipers cause brakes to wear out between 8000 miles to 14000 miles, far sooner than normal wear and tear would cause.dealerships are repairing faulty calipers under "good will" tickets, which are treated like a warranty repairs in respects to charges to the vehicles owner. Technicians at the dealership alluded that the 2008 and 2009 model year for dodge caravans and chrysler town and country vans are known for severe brake problems.seized calipers can also cause severe shifts in the steering while braking, which could cause collisions or accidents.this problem is widely known to owners who have reported it to many websites and dealerships.

I have a 2008 dodge grand caravan with 16,700 miles. Despite the fact that my brake pads were not ready to be changed, i had to replace the rotors in both front tires. I was having difficulty braking at 35 mph.the van was driven only one half of a mile to the mechanics and the mechanic measured the temperature of the air near the front tires at 198 degrees f; the rear tires measured 140 degrees.

In july2010, i had the front brakes replace after only 30000 m iles. Also a front caliper was replaced due to it not releasing after applying the brakes. In aug, 2010 on a return trip from florida, the rear brake calipers froze , would not release, causing the rear brakes to overheat, causing rear brake failure. Repair of the rear brakes cost aprox.$ 580.00. A complaint to chrysler corp. Was initiated, and they reimbursed a total of$280.00. I was told by 2 dealers that there has been an abnormal amount of problems with the brake calipers on the chrysler/dodge vans.since we were transporting oxygenthat my wife needs for medical purposes a fire or other failure of the rear brakes, ie fire, seizing of the brakes causing a wreck, or being disabled on the highway, miles from a repair facility could have had serious results. At the present time the only remaining caliper has failed, froze to the rotor, and is in need of repair which has been scheduled at a non dealer shop. The cost has been estimated at $100.00.chrysler corp has not given any acknowledgment as to the cause or why this is occurring, only the $280.00 reimbursement.the question is: will this happen if i purchase another chrysler van and has the brake caliper been acknowledged and fixed?4280.00 reimbursement.

I have a 2008 dodge grand caravan that has had repeated brake issues.the brakes wear out constantly, warping the rotors.today, on the freeway, the brakes binded and it smelled like we were having an electrical fire until we realized it was our brakes smoking.the vehicle has 26k miles on it and the brakes have been replaced 3 times.we replaced the brake pads ourselves at about 12k miles after hearing a loud grinding sound and the van shuddering enough to shake your hand back and forth on the steering wheel when stopping at low speeds.it seemed to work for a week or two but the problems quickly returned.we then decided to have the rotors turned to see if this would fix the problem.it seemed to fix the problem again for a very short while.we then purchased and installed brand new rotors which again fixed the problem for a short while.seeing as we had failed to fix the problem, we decided to take it to the dealership and have them fix our brakes.they of course said that the brakes were no longer under warranty but as a goodwill gesture they would repair the brakes for $50.they turned our front rotors again, stating that the shuddering was because the rotors were warped, again.as i drove away that day the van did the same shuddering.i immediately called the dealership and they stated that the back rotors were also warped and would need to be replaced.they did that and everything seemed fairly okay for a couple of weeks and then the grinding noise slowly came back and the shuddering has returned.it has only been 3 months since the whole brake system had been repaired!i hear a tsb has already been issued on the brake problems on this model with numerous consumer complaints.i will be taking the van to the dealer tomorrow to see what they say.

I have a 2008 dodge grand caravan and the front brakes are wearing out in 14000 - 18000 miles. There must be a problem with the calipers. I have been in contact with chrysler but they are not willing to find a solution or investigate the problem. Most brakes last atleast 30,000 - 40,000 miles and when you hear a noise you think something got caught in your brakes but that's not the case. Waldorf dodge service has had numerous complaints but said chrysler won't allow them to do anything.

2008 dodge grand caravan brakes and rotors are of poor quality.every 6 to 9 months the front rotors/pads have been resurfaced/cut or replaced.i have 27,000 miles on the car and the front rotors have been replaced 3 times and rear once already.the dealers admit that chrysler has placed "thin" and poor quality rotors causing significant pulsation.the whole steering column shakes and reduces braking performance making for an unsafe situation especially in rain and adverse weather and traffic.it is also inconvenient and costly to have the vehicle repaired so often.

Brake problems,brake calibers freezing to rotors, replaced brakes at 31,000 miles on 2008 dodge caravan have to pump brake pedal to get calibers to release, at 36,000 miles needed new pads, brakes still sticking to rotors at 47,000 miles.

Calipers hanging up causing brakes to heat up. Has been occurring for several months. When taken to the dodge dealer they initially stated nothing wrong. Then 1 week later state i need new calipers, rotors turned and brake pads. They state the only thing covered under warranty is calipers.

2008 dodge grand caravan rear brakes.upon visually inspecting brake system on the rear driver side uneven wear was detected mostly on the inside pad.semi-metallic compound located towards the back side of the pad was almost worn down to the metal while the front side of the pad still had enough compound on it that the wear indicator is not making contact with the rotor.brake failure is imminent and the wear indicator will is not providing any sound warning that the compound is worn down to the metal.dealership was not able to explain the reason for uneven brake pad wear on the rear brakes.they were not able to explain why the wear indicator was not making contact with the pad even though the technician stated the pads are 95% worn.chrysler offer to fix the problem is to replace pads and rotors with similar materials.front brake pads are also worn down 95% and dealership acknowledged a tsb# 05-006-08 did apply to my make and model of vehicle however they refused to apply the service based on the mileage on the vehicle (27,288 mi).while the issuance of the tsb indicates a concern for the front brakes on the van, having my driving habits extend the brake life up to the 27,288 mile point disqualified me from having such tsb applied to the van.my concern is there is no prior warning of brake failure since the wear indicators do not make contact with the rotor when there is potential for having metal to metal contact between the rotors and pads.

The contact owns a 2008 dodge grand caravan. The contact stated that on august 18, 2009 while driving approximately 45 mph someone advised him that his wheel was smoking. The vehicle was towed to the dealer who confirmed that both rear calipers werelocked the dealer replaced calipers, rotors, and rear brake pads at 14,768 miles. On october 25, 2010 while driving he smelled smoke again. The vehicle was towed to the dealer who stated that the right rear caliper was frozen, the left rear caliper was sticking and the brake pads were overheated and cracked. The rear calipers, and brake pads were replaced at 29,979 miles. The manufacturer provided a rental vehicle when the first failure occurred. The failure mileage was 14,768. The current mileage was 29,979. Updated 01/18/11updated 1/19/2010 updated 03/31/11according to the invoice, the rear calipers were not releasing properly and the rear rotors were discolored.

1.)standard driving city and highway noticed squealing couple days ago2.) at 22,000 mile our van has no pad and rotor is defective on passenger side, and driver side brakes pads are worn but rotor showing signs of wear. 3.) will have to replace the brakes.

2008 dodge grand caravan with 27,000 miles on it needs to have all four sets of brake pads and front rotors replaced for the second time. The front pads have were replaced 13,000 miles ago and have already worn down so far that they are cutting grooves into the rotors. I am a professional mechanic and have never seen brakes wear out in 12,000 miles. Dodge refuses to replace the brakes citing that they are wear items. They should wear out in 50,000 miles, not 12,000. I feel that this is a serious safety problem as even when new, the brakes are seriously under engineered. I have to press the pedal almost to the floor for normal stops and in the event of panic stops, i have had more than enough near misses where the van just didn't stop in time and i wound up off the road on the shoulder.

Brakes started grinding and squealing loudly when coming to a stop. Van had less than 20,000 miles however when i had the service technician look at it, i was lucky i hadn't lost brakes altogether. I had to purchase new brakes and new rotors as the ones that came from the factory were so worn down that it wouldn't even help to simply turn them. This is outrageous and yet another problem i have had with this van since i bought it. All of the issues i have encountered are very unsafe and i am thankful that so far i haven't had my children with me during these episodes. I believe chrysler should be reimbursing all owners for the cost of the brakes and rotors as the ones that were from the factory are quite obviously faulty and defective.

I have had to replace the front brakes on my 2008 grand caravan three times since purchasing it in 2009.in addition the rear brakes have been replaced twice.the first time the front brakes were replaced was in october 2009 at 27,933, then 12/31/2010 at 58,000 and now at 74,500 we are replacing them again.the rears were replaced on 10/29/2009 at 28,653 and now at 74,500.understand that dodge knows there is a problem because i received a letter in 2010 saying they would pay a percentage of the replacement cost for the front brakes depending on the mileage of the vehicle.however besides repaying for some of the costs incurred for the first replacement nothing else was done because the problem keeps occurring ever 30,000 miles or less.

Brakes "burning" again.

I have 44,000 miles on vehicle and on 3rd set of front brakes with new rotors. Rotors were turned and brakes replaced at 26,000 miles as well.this seems excessive and repair tech suggested i investigate recalls/complaints on this, of which there seem to be over 100.

The contact owns a 2008 dodge grand caravan.the contact stated that both front and rear brakes were wearing prematurely, causing the vehicle to shake violently.in february 2009, the dealer repaired the brake pads and in october and december 2010, the dealer repaired the front and rear brake pads and rotors.the failure continued to recur.the manufacturer was aware of the failure yet no repairs were performed.the current mileage was 80,000 and the approximate failure mileage was 18,000. The vin was not available.

The contact owns a 2008 dodge grand caravan. The contact stated that while driving approximately 45 mph, she depressed the brake pedal and heard a grinding noise. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer for diagnostics, where the technicians stated that the front and rear brake pads and rotors needed to be replaced. The failure occurred a second time approximately 20,000 miles after the repairs were performed. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer, where the technician stated that the front and rear brake pads and rotors needed to be replaced again. The vehicle was repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 34,000.

I own a 2008 dodge grand caravan with 30k miles. I have already had to replace the front brake pads twice and the front brake rotors need replacing. I have found hundreds of complaints in the internet from customers with 2008 chrysler minivans that report their brake pads and rotors wearing out at very low mileages and without warning. This is a serious safety hazard that may have already resulted in accidents.

My wife and i purchased a 2008 dodge grand caravan brand new from royal chrysler in owego new york.since that time our front brake pads and rotors have had to be replaced 4 times, each.it has been an on going issue which has resulted in compromised safety in our vehicle.our dealer has stated it is a design flaw in the braking system, yet chrysler/dodge has issued no recall or bulletin.i have all records pertaining to this complaint with dates and details.upon searching the web i have discovered thousands upon thousands of individuals with this same issues.this is an unsafe vehicle braking system.

Brake light flashed a few times. Within one week of light sporadically flashing the brakes started to grind, metal to metal. The van is only 14months old with 10,000 miles. Out of warranty because of time length (missed by only two months). Chrysler would not fix so had to repair at own expense. Brake pads replaced and rotors turned.researched on-line and this is a very common complaint/problem on this make/model and year.

Dealership informed me that front and rear brakes needed to be replaced. Minivan is not driven in the city, no stop and go traffic,majority of miles were done on the interstate.

I own a 2008 dodge caravan. It has 16,234 miles on it. I took it in to be serviced for its first major service appointment.the mechanic at the dealership came out to talk to me and said that the pads, shoes and rotors were near failure. He also stated that the car was unsafe to drive in that condition. This was a dodge dealership and i assume that they know their product.i was concerned about the failure so i looked into it and found that this was a fairly common problem for owners of this car.

The contact owns a 2008 dodge grand caravan. The contact stated that the brakes felt very spongy when the pedal was applied and would fall further onto the floor board than usual. The dealer replaced the front brake pads and rotors under the factory warranty. The rear brakes began to exhibit the same failure and the dealer stated that a diagnostic test had to be performed before repairing the vehicle at the owners expense. The manufacturer advised the contact to have the dealer perform a diagnostic test and repair the vehicle. The contact assumed that the manufacturer would assume liability for the repairs; however, he was advised that the repairs would be made at his expense. The contact declined to have the vehicle repaired. He stated that the rear brake pads and rotors should have been replaced when the front brakes were repaired. There were no related recalls. The failure mileage was 8,000 and the current mileage was 24,200.

My brakes and rotors (front and rear) needed replacement on my 2008 dodge grand caravan sxt after only 16000 miles. This is less than half the usual expected lifetime of brakes. Dealer will not cover because it was over 12k miles.dealer says 2008 and 2009 vans are heavier than earlier models, but they still use the same old brake system from earlier models. This doesn't sound safe or fair to me.

The contact owns a 2008 dodge caravan.the contact noticed a loud noise coming from the rear end of the vehicle.the vehicle was taken to the dealer where the rear brakes, rotors and pads were replaced.the manufacturer was made aware of the failure.the current mileage was 29,550.the approximate failure mileage was 20,500. Udated 8/29/11 updated 09/21/11

The contact owns a 2008 dodge grand caravan. The contact stated that there was a loud humming sound coming from the braking system. The noise would begin to sound while driving above speeds of 60 mph and cease once the brake pedal was depressed. Once the brake pedal was released, the noise would resume. The vehicle had not been inspected. The failure mileage was unknown and the current mileage is 40,000. Updated 11/16/11*ljthe consumer stated the humming noise ceased. Updated 12/02/11

The contact owns a 2008 dodge grand caravan. The contact stated the rear brakes failed prematurely. The brakes, front brake pads and calipers on the front wheels were replaced at 22,000 miles. The contact statedsmoke was coming from the rear brakes. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who stated the rear brake pads and calipers needed to be replaced as well. The vin was not accepted. The failure mileage was 22,6000 and the current mileage was 27,986.the consumer stated the rear brakes were replaced again at 28,000 miles. Updated 03/08/12

The brakes on our 2008 dodge grand caravan sxt completely rusted at 26,500 miles. As of 5/26/2011. Prior to that (05/27/2010) the brakes rusted and locked at 19,844. The car had to be towed on a platform truck because tires, wheels assemblies were completely locked at that time. Brakes have been pulsating and started to make harmonic sounds in the most recent incident. Brakes were spongy with the pulsating creating vibration in steering wheel.have formally filed a complaint to chrysler. Clerk at chrysler indicated unusual number of calls but no detail, just that they're experiencing problems with the brakes involving dodge caravan and town and country. Van is at dealer being repaired at this time.

I purchased a 2008 dodge grand caravan sxt used from a fleet service with approx 28k miles on it. I went to check the tires and brakes myself, and have discovered the brakes and rotors need replacing. The problem is, no metal is touching the rotors, yet they are wore on the outside edge down to the minimum thickness of 26.4 mm. The parts dealer won't turn them, so new ones have to be installed. This seems to be a premature wearing issue.

The contact owns a 2008 dodge grand caravan. The front brakes deteriorated sooner than normal causing the front rotors to fail. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who replaced the front brake pads and rotors. The contacted received a refund from the manufacturer for the front brake defect regarding the material prepared by the factory. The contact called the manufacturer to advise them that the rear brake pads and rotors also failed. A report was not filed. The rear brake and rotors were replaced. The failure mileage was 29,000 and the current mileage was 32,000.

Premature wear of brakes and rotors. Original front-end oem brakes and rotors needed replacement before the vehicle even reached the 20,000 mile mark. Saw this same problem reported by many, many owners of same model/year van.others have stated when dealership replaces rotors/brakes, the new brakes/rotors wear just as fast. This seems to be a dangerous situation because new owners are not expecting brake problems so soon, and thus may overlook squeals from brakes as being caused by brake dust, or glazing, not realizing their brakes/rotors are completely worn and in need of immediate replacement (like i did). I do have the brakes/rotors that were replaced, i asked to have them returned to me from the dealership when they were replaced with new parts.

At less then 50k on a 2008 dodge caravan, the back rotors are completely gone again. When will dodge or the government do something for us,the consumers? someone will get hurt or killed soon if this is not fixed.

Had front brakes done at 7,000 miles found out they were going to be covered because there was a satisfaction notice that just came out...now i have 10,386 miles and the rear brakes had to be done.never had to had to do rear brakes until i needed my third set of fronts done....this is my third dodge grand caravan. Dealer said they don't know of any problem.

I was driving my vehicle down the road, it had been about 10 minutes since i had left the service department of my local dodge dealer to have my a/c serviced. My rear brakes had been serviced less than 6,000 miles previously and had been checked the night before by a just brakes technician. As i was driving i began to hear some squealing. When i stopped at a red light i noticed a huge amount of smoke pouring out of the rear of my car. I was able to accelerate enough to coast in to the just brakes shop where technicians looked at my vehicle and discovered a total brake failure of my rear brakes. The temperature had reached so high that the assembly itself was white hot and smoking. Had i not been closer to the shop my brakes might have failed because the pads were totally destroyed when they took them off. I have the old pads in my possession.

The contact owns a 2008 dodge grand caravan. The contact stated that while driving approximately 55 mph, the vehicle began to shake excessively while depressing the brake pedal. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer for diagnostics, where the technician stated that the front and rear brake pads and rotors needed to be replaced. Approximately 20,000 after the repairs, the contact experienced the failure a second time. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer where the front and rear brake pads and rotors were again replaced. The failure occurred a third time. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 36,000.

2008 dodge grand caravan. 3 incident of premature brake failure. Rotors and pads metal to metal at 27250 miles. Rear brakes 90 gone after 11,000 miles.

I had a dodge grand caravan that i purchased there less than a year before with brake noise. My wife complained on previous occasions but was told nothing was wrong. When they finally looked at it vehicle was out of warranty period and they said the repair would not be covered. It cost us $471.98 to replace front and back pads and resurface rotors. Was not informed that a tsb #05-006-08 had been issued. Part number recommended in tsb does not match part number on my invoice. Now they need replaced again a year later because they were making a squealing noise and overheating. When i took it in to a local mechanic, he said my left rear caliper is leaking and needs to be replaced. No calipers are available as they are on national backorder. I now have a van that is too dangerous to drive and no parts are available to repair it.

At approx 45k miles, i have now replaced brakes and rotors 4 times!!! this is absurd...you buy a caravan because you have kids, therefore you don't have the excess money for this constant repair...each time it's $350 or more!!just had rotors cut again....brakes are squealing soooooooo bad.this is insane.i've spent so much money on this van.i was told dodge makes the best caravan...honestly, it's a piece of crap if i'm going to keep getting new brakes every 10k - 15k miles.chrysler really needs to do something about this before someone gets killed.i drive in a mountainous area and applying the brakes and having my steering wheel shake doesn't make me feel safe or my family! i always have my kids in the car.does someone need to get killed before a recall is made????? no wonder why american cars have the worst reputation....you people do nothing for the consumers!

Premature brake wear. Rear brake calipers, rotor, and pads, were replaced by the dealer at no cost at 19,000 miles due to rotors overheating.at 19,400 miles, front brakes began to shudder when applied. Dealer said the front rotor and pads need to be replaced at a cost of $390. The dealer says after 12,000 miles they are not responsible.

The contact owns a 2008 dodge grand caravan. While driving at approximately 20 mph, the contact heard a loud rubbing and knocking sound from the front passenger side when he depressed the brakes.the vehicle was taken to the dealership for possible repair. The vehicle identification number was not available at the time of the complaint. The current and failure mileages were approximately 20,000.

The contact owns a 2008 dodge grand caravan.the contact stated that the brakes wore prematurely and were defective.the dealer made three attempts to duplicate the failure.the manufacturer was aware of the failure however, did not offer any assistance.the contact was awaiting repairs to the vehicle at the dealer.the current mileage was 82,000 and the approximate failure mileage was 12,000.

Brake pads and rotors warp and wear at an accelerated rate, chrysler resurfaced the rotors and replaced the pads the first time at approx 8000 miles, then 7000 miles later the problem was back.chrysler didn't want to provide assistance, but after being persistent they agreed to replace the pads and rotors with updated parts if we paid $50 of the bill.we were told this was a one-time good-will fix.10,000 miles later we are starting to feel warped rotors again.service adviser had the gall to suggest driver-error and improper braking.

Driving at highway speeds noticed the vehicle felt with less power than usual.i came up to a traffic jam and had to reduce speed to 0 mph.at this point i notice a large amount of smoke coming out of the rear right wheel well and began noticing a burnt brake smell.i pulled over to the side and saw the brake pads were smoking profusely.visual inspection showed the rotor had acquired a light blue color all around.rotors and pads have less than 300 miles since being installed, i had installed aftermarket ceramic pads instead of dealer's semi-metallic compound, new rotors are also aftermarket since i refused to give dodge any more money for what i considered sub par components since i had to do a total brake replacement well under 30,000 miles and my previous request for servicing brakes under warranty went unanswered..van was inspected by two different dealers before brake replacement and both dealers said there was nothing wrong with the brake system , that it was normal wear and tear and they could not find anything wrong with the calipersand or other brake system components.once brake pads stopped smoking i resumed minimum highway speed until reaching an exit two miles ahead.van did not feel sluggish at this point and brakes did not smoke again. This could happen at any time again because dealer was not able to find anything wrong with the brake system previously and they have no known root cause for this failure. In my opinion this has to be related to what i consider a premature brake replacement done earlier this month.

Front and rear disc brakes after 22,000+ miles wear the semi-metallic pads to "dust," breaking-up and going metal-to-metal damaging the disc rotors.initial quote from walt's, a local chain of repair outlets is $978.00.

Dodge grand caravan sxt 2008.brake pads and rotors completely worn out at less than 14000 miles. Cost me close to $400.00 to correct the problem. Bought the vehicle new. If anyone is interested i will be keeping the parts that have worn out.

I have replaced my brakes 3 times since i bought utter and motors 1 time they get very hot and smell like their burning also a possible hub bearing is going out on passenger side last but not lease my light on radio is not working as well. I've observed on the web site several dodge grandcaravans have beenhaving.

2008 dodge caravan purchased in august 2008. Rear brakes rubbing causing squealing, a burning smell and very hot rims. Dealer replaced both rear brakes in august 2009 at about 11,000 miles. Same thing occurred in 2011. Dealer refused to do anything on price and wanted $401. They claimed corrosion was the problem. Car now has 27,000 miles. Rear brakes only lasted 16,000 miles. There is a defect. Everybody knows that. Somebody is going to die. Rims will heat up and cause a tire to blow. Just a matter to time.

Consistent brake and rotor failure..scraping, grinding, locking and shimmeying of the wheel when braking. Was informed by chrysler corporation that this year, make, model has a known "design" flaw in the braking system. Their solution is to temporarily keep replacing the brake pads and rotors, however after 36000 miles the consumer is responsible for full replacement and payment of these parts every single year as they fail to operate correctly every 12,000 miles. Chrysler corporation knowingly sold this vehicle to consumers and refuses to do anything but put a bandaid on this issue. They should issue a recall and completely rehaul the braking system or give the consumers a brand new vehicle and reimburse for all expenses surrounding this issue. They are putting the lives of children at risk as well as others.

Getting ready to replace the brakes on my 2008 dodge caravan vehicle for a second time.i have 52,000 miles and now the brakes and rotors need replaced.i understand chrysler is well aware of the problem and that they know the brakes are not adequate enough for this vehicle. I would like an investigation to be done because i think this could become a serious problem due to the brakes not being adequate enough for this size of vehicle.

We own a 1998 dodge grand caravan.we had to replace the front brake pads at 20,000 miles.to which the mechanic said that was abnormally soon to need new pads.now at 35,000 miles the pads need to be replaced again and it appears the rotors are warped.a recent discussion with a friend who owns the same year, make and model has the same situation of premature brake pad erosion and needs a second replacement with even less miles than we have on our vehicle.originally we believed we were just harder on our brakes than normal but with two replacements and warped rotors within 35,000 miles we believe there's a bigger issue.additionally there are strange noises from the front brake area and there's a concern that there could be other issues.due to the importance of the braking system and how quickly the 2008 grand caravan's are failing we believe it's only a matter of time until someone is hurt due to this abnormal condition.thank you.

The contact owns a 2008 dodge grand caravan.the contact stated that the vehicle was experiencing an increase in stopping distance when braking at any speed.the vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where the brakes were replaced.the failure since recurred twice.after each failure, the brakes would either be replaced by an authorized dealer or independent mechanic but to no avail.the failure mileage was 10,000 and the current mileage was 50,000.

2008 dodge grand caravan brake problems that are costing a fortune to repair.constantly having to replace brake pads, rotors and now calipers on a van with 67,000 miles on it.everytime i take my van in for service, i am told that the brakes have to be repaired immediately because the vehicle isn't safe to drive.i have three small children and safety is my number one concern, but i can not afford to keep putting money into this vehicle that is less than 2 years old.the first brake repair work that had to be done was when the vehicle only had 21,233 miles on it.since then, we are putting hundreds of dollars into brakes every couple of months.

The contact owns a 2008 dodge grand caravan. During a routine inspection the technician noticed that the inside of the rear brakes were completely worn and that the outside brakes look brand new. A local mechanic stated that he has no idea what may have caused the brakes to wear on the inside and confirmed that the contact needed to replace the rear brakes. The contact is concerned of this usual safety issue and that a crash could occur. The failure mileage was unknown and the current mileage was 43,200.

Noise started at 13,188 miles with 2008 caravan.told to fix front brakes, i did.still a noise.at 30k miles they finally found that 1 rear brake caliper was sticking the other was frozen.i believe this led to excessive wear.the rear brakes are also a problem on this car.

Premature and immediate brake pad failure.no indicator warning and severe safety issue.all brake pads failed within the first year of owning the van and still no recognition from dodge of major safety problem.safety of my children is of no concern to dodge.

I noticed a loud grinding from the passenger side front wheel when applying the brakes.car was inspected at dealer and found to have completely worn out brakes and damaged rotors as a result of metal to metal contact.repair costs are $230.dealer states this is not covered by warranty even though it is premature brake and rotor wear.vehicle is only 14 months old with 16,000 miles.

2008 dodge grand caravan 32k milesfront brakes were squeaking so we took it to local dodge dealer.said the front rotors and pads needed to be replaced.this car is new and the first brake job needs rotors?we paid for it and later dodge sent out a reimbursement letter in the summer to pay half of the costs.i wonder if they put the same junk rotors back on?now, 6k miles later the front right brake squeals like the pad is low but the dealer said it is ok and that is "normal".it is not normal to hear a grinding pad on rotor sound when the pad is good!the only thing he said they could do would be to resurface the rotor and put stop squeal on the pad.it would cost around 120.00 bucks.poor parts are obviously on this car...i will not buy another dodge or suggest anyone do so.other problems with this new car so far are: 1.when first bought, trans fluid leak, warranty fixed that.2.rotors and pads on front (as described above), reimbursed for half3.now at 38k miles, the front left wheel bearing is bad, have to replace, 220.00 dollars, i am talking to chrysler to see if they will pay for or not.two dealers and two repair shops cannot get this part for a week to a month, they are on backorder.

Bad or inferior brake systems for 2008 caravan. At 13,788 miles it began squealing (kind of like a squeaking hamster wheel) in front (left) but sometimes the right front.took car several times, they finally verified it there was a noise at 21,000 miles and could not find it but recommended pads and rotors although the fronts were just getting to the point where they needed replacement.replaced pads and rotors, kept squealing took car about 6 times to midas and a few more times to chrysler.now the right front or right rear? passenger side is grinding at 30k miles.we're afraid it is the drum.this began and has been off and on for about 2 weeks (today's date is 3/17/10. I have never had problems like this before with brakes.the minivans i bought in 1993 lasted 63kuntil i needed new pads and one i purchased later and at 43k when i turned in one in 2000 there were still no issues.

I own a 2008 grand caravan sxt. I replaced the front brakes and left rotor on my van at 21,000 miles. Well, it is 44,000 miles and i need front brakes and a left rotor replaced again. I am learning that others are having the same problem. I was told by the dealer service manager that it was my driving wearing out the brakes.

While on the interstate in wisconsin driving at about 65 mph, the left rear brake on my daughter's van suddenly seized.when i pulled off the interstate, the entire wheel was too hot to touch and there was a strong burning smell.fortunately there was a chrysler dealer right there.they told me that the left rear caliper 'hung up' on the brake.they said that the caliper adapter was new to this model (2008), that they have seen this before and that chrysler has a newer design but the part was on back order.they told me that the pads, calipers and rotors on both rear brakes needed to be replaced.they cleaned and lubricated the brakes and i continued to chicago to have the repairs done there.later my daughter told me that in april 2011, the same thing had happened but on the right rear brake.again this was on the interstate.she heard a very loud squealing.after tapping the brakes a few times the sound went away and she continued.this is why the dealer said that the right rear brake pads, calipers and rotor also needed replacement.worse, my daughter's brother-in-law bought the same model caravan in 2008.on a trip to virginia, also on the interstate, their brakes seized in the same manner.when we got to chicago, i took the van into roesch chrysler in elmhurst illinois.they replaced the calipers under warranty but charged me to replace the pads and rotors.the fact that this has happened twice on my daughter's van, that it also happened on her brother-in-law's same model/year van, that the caliper design was new in 2008, that since then a new caliper design has been released ' leads me to believe that the original caliper/brake design is defective and should have been covered under warranty.moreover, chrysler should have recalled these vehicles as a safety issue given an over heated wheel could have caused a high speed blowout.

2008 dodge grand caravan has a brake design flaw which causes the brakes to fail prematurely. The first set wore out before 25k miles and caused my wife to have an accident when she could not stop the vehicle.brakes have been replaced again with less than 30k additional miles.this is too often for brakes.

The contact owns a 2008 dodge grand caravan se. The contact was applying the brakes when the brake pedal began to vibrate abnormally and the brakes were exhibiting an unusual chattering. The dealer was notified who advised that the failure was common in his year, make amd model vehicle but unless the manufacturer was willing to assist, there was not much he could do to assist. The contact did not inform the manufacturer of the failure nor was the vehicle repaired. The current mileage was 32,000 and the failure mileage was 12,000.

Squeaking brakes at 18,000 miles. Need my rotors turned and new pads. I was appalled!!there has to be something said when there are so many people complaining about the life of these brakes. Called chrysler and got the "12 mos. Or 12k, i'm sorry" i'm not buying it!! imagine how many people do not realize this is not normal. I would like to see chrysler build or buy a better quality product that will last at least 36,000. I paid alot of money for my new van so i would not have to worry about this kind of nonsense so soon. Please, i plead with everyone who has this same complaint to take it as far as you can. Don't let the "customer service" at chrysler just tell you nothing can be done, take it as far as you can. There is strength in numbers people, this is america. We can build a car that lasts 100,000 miles without an oil change, but rotors and pads only last 13k to 20 k, that's just bologna and we all know it!!

I received a letter from chrysler/dodge llc, informing me about a defect in the brake components of my 2008 dodge caravan.in the letter it states that i am responsible for getting my own brakes replace because my warranty have expired. The brakes pads have been replaced twice within the last six months and i have been told by a local dodge dealer the rotors need to be replace and i've only had the car 1 year and 7 months. I have called chrysler/dodge llc repeatedly only to receive extremely bad customer service. I don't feel like i should have to pay for their mistake.

2008 grand caravan has been having brake noise for a while, dealer said they could find nothing. When rear brakes became metal to metal they replaced rear pads and rotors and told me fronts were fine. Upon leaving the fronts were still dragging, the next day i returned with a service bulletin saying they are to replace all pads and rotors so i feel chrysler is trying to hide a major brake issue.

The contact owns a 2008 dodge grand caravan. After attempting to stop, the wheel vibrated causing difficulty when the contact tried to stop. The dealer stated that all four rotors and brake pads had failed; the front brake pads and rotors were replaced under warranty and the rear parts were replaced at a repair shop at the contact's expense. The contact called the manufacturer who stated that the failure was common but offered no assistance. The failure mileage was 25,817 and the current mileage was approximately 29,000.

The contact owns a 2008 dodge grand caravan. The contact was driving 45 mph when the brakes were applied and the vehicle started to shake abnormally. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the contact believed that both rotors were replaced. The manufacturer was not contacted. The vehicle was repaired. The failure mileage was 13,000 and the current mileage was 20,000.

2008 dodge grand caravan.consumer writes in regards to vehicle brake issues.the consumer stated over the past two years, the right brake pad and rotors were replaced several times. Many of the replacements were done with less 12,000/15,000 in between. Updated 09/17/13

Encountered brake failure at 11000 miles. Repaired at my expense. Failed again at about 23000 miles, repaired under warranty. Failed again at 37,000 miles, my cost. All cases involved pads and rotors.there has got to be design failure where chrysler/dodge developers under engineered the size and/or composition of the brake caliper/pad system. Chrysler continues to deny that there is a design problem, yet there are hundreds of complaints here.without a doubt, despite owning caravans since the original 1984 model, never again.anyone interested in a class action lawsuit???

The contact owns a 2008 dodge grand caravan. While braking, the contact noticed a grinding noise coming from the front of the vehicle.

I have a 2008 dodge grand caravan. I started noticing that my brakes were at acting funny, they would make a strange noise everytime i stopped. This was at 15k miles. I took it in to a dealership for an oil change and asked that they also check the brakes. I was told nothing was wrong. At 19k miles my brakes went from making that noise, to completely being metal to metal. There was not a dodge dealership anywhere around and i needed this fixed asap, since i had three small children in the car. I took it to midas. They showed me both the front and back brakes. The brake pads were completely gone, and the rotors were horrible. I had to get everything replaced. This was 6 months ago, and now the brakes are squeaking. I now have 30k on my car. The guy's at midas informed me that i am not the only one that has brought in the newer model grand caravan in for a new brake job. They said that ever since the bodystyle has been changed, they have seen an increase in their customers. I don't want to shell out $700 every 6 months for brakes. This time i am taking it to the dodge dealership to have it looked at. But seeing that i am not the only one with the issue, i think it's something to look into.

Approximately 20,000 miles front brake recall letter received, took to local dealer and repairs made.at 23,000 mile rear left locked, total replacement at the cost of $299.29 to repair one brake, rotor and caliper.very disappointed, was informed by dealer repairman that there should be a recall for the rears soon.told to keep receipt for reimbursement.

Brakes, transmission, doors.

The brakes on this vehicle are wearing out rapidly.the front brakes and rotors had to be changed at 13,000 miles.when the service was done it was noted that the front left rotor was grooved and was replaced along with the brake pads.the right front rotor was not changed.it was also noted the front end allignment was pulling to the right.the dealer rotated the tires and noted tire wear was the problem.the vehicle had 17144 miles and the allignment was still pulling.the dealer checked and stated the front end was set at manufacturers specs.the vehicle had 23,922 miles and the front brakes were sqeaking and grinding again.the dealer changed the front rotors and brake pads.the vehicle had 28,343 miles and the front end was sqeaking and shuddering when braking at any speeds.the dealer checked the alignment and reset the toe.by this time the tires on the vehicle were completely worn below 3/32 tread depth.the dealer stated this was the cause of the alignment problem.the dealer changed the front rotors and brakes due to them being grooved and warped.the dealer was told the noise sounded as though it was coming from the rear brakes.the dealer told me the rear brakes and rotors were warped and the pads were severely worn and should be replaced.the rear brakes were not even inspected at any time when the front brakes were completely ground down to metal.the dealer could only tell me the rear brakes were no longer under the warranty.please help!!!

I have a 2008 dodge caravan ant the brake pads went out at 14756 with no warning.it was christmas eve my wife was nine months pregnant and i have 2 small children.there was no warning then suddenly the brakes were metal to metal and no parts store open we were stranded. They would not tow it under warranty.so i had to wait for a tow on christmas eve. Dealer said not under warranty not our problem i was lucky to get 14,000 out of them that's pathetic.thanks chrysler......last one i ever buy..

Replaced front brakes at 21150 miles. Told by smithtown dodge & chrysler(new york) that there is a service bulletin but no recalls on the brakes. Did some research online and discovered this is a major problem with the 2008 dodge caravan. There are hundreds of stories of brake replacement with low mileage.the dealer even admits there is a design flaw that the pads are too small for the size vehicle.there is the same problem with the rear brakes,with stories of wheels locking up. Being a retired mechanic i think this is a serious problem. Just consider a van full of people not being able to stop, or worse have a wheel lock up at 55mph on a highway. I think there should be an investigation into this problem. People's lives should come first.

Heard terrible grinding noise from brakes when stopping. Took it to local tire shop for brake inspection. Was told the pads were completely worn and rotors needed replaced. Vehicle had 24,000 miles on it. Replaced pads but not rotors. Now at 30,000 miles, i'm hearing the high pitched whistle that says the pads are about to need replaced. Will replace rotors this time also if a second mechanic states they need replaced.

Brakes have been worn out twice in 24k miles.

The contact owns a 2008 dodge grand caravan.the contact stated that both the front and rear rotors were wearing prematurely and excessively.the dealer replaced the rotors in july 2010 and the rotors were worn again and needed to be replaced.the manufacturer was madeof the failure however, did not offer any assistance.no repairs were performed.the current mileage was 74,000.the approximate failure mileage was 33,000.the vin was unavailable.

We purchase our 2008 dodge grand caravan new on 12/22/2008. We have had to get our front pads replaced and front rotors resurfaced at 20,306 miles and chrysler sent out a front brake limited warranty extension so we received a refund backminus the 50.00 deductible for this repair. However now we'vehad problems with our rear calipers & rear brakes which we would like to have our repair refunded or a recall done on this matter. Here is the info: first complaint:--the rear calipers seized which caused the second complaint-- the pads wore out quickly.the rear calipers seized and the rear brakes failedand both had to be replaced. The rear rotors and drums had to be resurfaced at our expense($446.38 parts & labor, not including tax).

2008 dodge grand caravan front brake pad and rotor replacement at 25k. First time i've owned a "new" vehicle needing front pad replacement so soon, despite light town driving.

New 2008 dodge caravan rear brakes burn & squeal since new. Pads replaced several times and calipers twice. Problem continues to repeat usually no charge since car still in warranty (29000 mi). But i need reliable brakes. Dealer says it is a known problem with the 2008 but can't stop the problem from recurring. Recently the abs & the hydraulic modules went and i had to be towed.

We own a 2008 dodge grand caravan with 45k miles on the van.the van has been through 4 complete brake repairs within the 45 k and most recently we needed to replace the master cylinder.we were over 1000 miles from home on july 20th in miami when both brakes and master cylinder went out.by luck i noticed the problem and brought it in for service, this had the potential to be life threatening for my young kids, my wife and i.we are looking to you for help before we or someone gets hurt.we are averaging the need for brakes every 12k miles.we have paid for all of the repairs and dodge finally issued a repayment for a percentage of the cost.these brakes are underperforming and i believe it is an engineering issue.please research this issue.there is a lot of complaints about this issue and someone needs to make sure the public is protected.i appreciate your help in this matter.

Premature brake wear.rear brake pads replaced (15000 miles).front brake pads replaced twice in 32000 miles.rotors replaced at 32000 miles.now rotors are warped again.travel around town and minor highway only. No heavy breaking, etc.no accident yet!

2008 dodge caravan...at last three oil changes have asked service staff to investigate ultra squeaky brakes (18k, 22k, 26k miles). Unable to determine source of extreme squeaking. Pads are 1/2 way gone on front and slightly more than that on rear. No way should this low mileage have brakes that are so worn and so squeaky.

The contact owns a 2008 dodge grand caravan. The contact stated that while driving 35 mph, he heard a squeaking coming from the brakes. The vehicle was maneuvered to the shoulder and stopped. The contact noticed that both rear brakes were smoking. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where the rotors were replaced. The failure recurred twice. The contact also stated that on one occasion, the brakes unexpectedly engaged while driving 60 mph. The manufacturer was made aware of the failures, but offered no assistance. The failure mileage was 10,000.

The brakes on 2008 dodge grand caravans are a joke, after 17,00 miles and several trips to the dealership with concerns about squeaking brakes, they say the van needs all new pads and rotors!after 17000 miles!!!

My wife came home friday(3/11/11) complaining that her front brakes were making a grinding noise. So the following day i jacked the 2008 dodge grand caravan up to inspect for a problem and found that both front brake rotors were worn down with metal to metal contact from the brake pads. The van has only 29,000 miles on it. Back during october we got a letter from dodge stating we needed to bring our van in for a brake inspection for the front brakes because there were issues of premature front pad failure so we complied. At that time they noticed no problem,but now i have to replace both front rotors and front pads on a vehicle that only has 29,000 miles. This is a known issue from dodge, but they state there is only a 12 month 12,000 mile warranty for brake parts/problems.

Front brakes worn out at 18k miles - not covered under warranty - not considered defective?pads gone - rotors heavily grooved.

Front brakes requied replacement in july 09 (16,613 m) and again in mar 10 (25,097m); rear brakes were also replaced in mar 10.this is definately premature.if not taking the van for dealer service & inspection at least twice a year, this condition would be an accident waiting to happen.my driving hasn't changed for over 40 years and i never previously had to replace brakes befor approximately 24-30k miles.verry satisfied with dealer - bettenhausen dodge, tinley park, il.

The contact owns a 2008 dodge grand caravan. While driving at speeds of 45 mph, the contact heard an unusual noise coming from the brakes. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the contact was informed the brakes were severely worn and would require immediate replacement. The dealer replaced the brakes and within one year, the exact failure recurred. The failure mileage was 14,140 and the current mileage was 34,269.

Brakes had to be replaced and rotors cut at 12,832 miles.vehicle started shaking while braking and brakes are spongy.i took it to the dealer with 16,762 miles on it.they told me the rotor needed to be replaced.they tell me this is due to heating from the brakes.

Brakes pads wear out fast and rotor keep warping.have had brakes replaced 5 times already.i am only up to 54,000 and i need brakes again.the last brake and rotor job was at 39k.

2008 dodge grand caravan brakes wear out prematurely.we purchased this vehicle new.at 26,000 miles our vehicle requires new brakes and rotors.

Brakes needing replacement under 20,000 miles on a new vehicle less than 2 yrs old.this is a common & costly problem to have on this vehicle designed to transport families.there is a problem with the brakes that dodge/chrysler needs to address asap and issue a recall.

I have had to replace the brakes on my 2008 dodge grand caravan multiple times since purchased on 11/14/2011.the van only has 69000 miles on it. The problem is that even after the brakes are replaced the brakes makes squeaking sounds & grinding almost immediately.i take it back and they say nothing is wrong. I wait a little longer and they say brake pads & calipers need to be replaced. Good thing i brought it in. This vehicle is poorly designed and if we can't tell then the brakes are going bad, a serious accident could result. Have replaced brake pads 5 times.and have also replaced rotors and calipers.

I have a 2008 dodge grand caravan that has needed brakes and rotors two times in 19000 miles. I feel this is way to short a time period.

We bought a 2008 dodge caravan brand new and at 12,000 miles it needs brand new brakes. The brakes have been making a grinding noise for months. Chrysler has extended the warrenty on the brakes for that year. We believe this should be a recall! they also don't have the parts to fix the problem so i am driving on bad brakes with 4 children in the vehicle.

Left front brake grinding during low speed stops. Started all of the sudden one evening. Took it to the dealer the next morning. Was informed that it was not going to be a warranty covered repair because it was past the 12,000 mile limit on brake repair. This is 15,000 highway miles after only 6 months. The dodge dealer said it was not going to be covered by the standard warranty or the 100,000 mile bumper to bumper extended warranty. This was a "normal" wear item and would be $270 to replace the front brake pads and to turn both front rotors. I find it shocking that a manufacturer with as many complaints as they have on this exact issue still fails to even give "goodwill" coverage on something as serious as premature brake failure.

Premature brake failure and required replacement at 22,000 miles on new 2008 dodge grand caravan.

2008 dodge grand caravan. 90,000 miles on vehicle. Heard a grinding noise coming from rear when brakes are applied. Investigated and found both rear wheels, inside discs pads were completely worn. Outside pads were still good. Replaced pads and rotors. Believe its the design of the calipers, never seen caliper pistons that turned out when brakes are applied. Had to have a special tool to turn the pistons back in to replace pads. I don't think that the pistons can retract very well because of the design causing more pressure on the inside pads. The new pads also smoked for a few days afterwards. After talking to a dealer no info or reason could be found for the excessive wear.

25,000 miles on our 18 month old grand caravan and the brakes and rotors are shot.no warning, no grinding, squeaking, nothing.i am reading hundreds of reports of people with the same problem.this sounds like a recall in the making.chrysler is aware of the issue tsb# 05-006-08 but chooses to do nothing.

High pitch sound turned out to be brake pads need replaced. Service man is surprised that the pads are worn out with only 21k miles on the van. Rear rotors also rusting bad. I found out that this is a common complaint. Chrysler dodge should upgrade the brakes so the pads will not wear out fast. The pads are also very expensive compared to other vehicles. Are they going to wait until an accident happens before the brake is fixed?

The van dies while turning at slow speeds, typically in traffic.van will easily restart after putting in park/neutral and cranking.has happened 3 times in the past few months.

While driving, i lost the steering and allpower. With what forward momentum the car had and muscle, i was able to pull over.once i put the car back in park, i was able to restart it and it ran fine. Since that time, this has happened on three additional occasions again in august 2013 andmost recently, it happened twice within a 2 minute time period this past week.during these past 2 incidences, i can say for sure that the traction light also came on. After having a diagnostic done on the car in both august and this week, it showed "no codes". The service dealer claims to be stuck at this pointand dodge is offering no solutions and not admitting they have heard this complaint before.

My vehicle stops running while driving down the road.......this happened occasionally but is happening more frequently.this morning it happened while driving around a curve and i nearly wrecked.

On sunday i started my van with the remote and pulled out of my driveway. Once in the busy street, the engine died and the steering wheel locked, leaving me unable to control the vehicle. Fortunately there were no cars coming and i was able to restart the car. I believe the problem was that the ignition didn't recognize the key, and therefore shut off after the prescribed time of letting the engine run through the keyless start. I want to make you aware of the problem because it seems it could be quite dangerous. I have also reported this incident to the manufacturer so they can be advised of it as well.

The esp bas light has randomly come on and the system is automatically applying brakes unnecessarily. This makes it tough to control the vehicle at times. This first occurred when starting the van stationary in a driveway, the light has remained on driving on streets and highways and has the greatest effect when turning.

I purchased this vehicle on march 31, 2008 and have had it for 2 years.we were headed out of town on vacation and had to stop at 2 different dealerships a long the way for them to try to correct the pulling.neither one could correct the problem.in the 2 year time it has been back in forth to the dealership service dept several times for it pulling to the right and eating the front edge of every tire that has been put on the front.tires have been rotated regularly and crossed and still has the outside tire wear from the pull.cam bolts have been installed by the dealer to help correct the alignment with no results.it still pulls.i have filed a lemon law complaint with chrysler who has performed the final repair attempt and it still pulls.i have took it to 2 local tire alignment shops here and both have said the alignment can't be fixed.chrysler's position is that the vehicle drives as designed and no further action will transpire.i don't understand how a vehicle can be designed to immediately pull off the road to the right if you let go of the steering wheel.it is not a drift to the right.a drift doesn't eat tires from what i understand.my hand actually falls asleep while trying to drive the van for long distances because you have to fight to keep the van on the road.we have driven 2 other chrysler vans for comparison purposes and they pull to the right as well but not to the extent of my van.i am still in the lemon law process and don't know if i will get anywhere with chrysler but someone needs to check the steering and alignment of this make and model.you should not have to fight the vehicle in order to keep it on the road.this issue has made me despise this van and it was perfect for a family with 3 kids.bad safety hazard and chrysler should be made to correct the issue and not just play god with the final statement of "this vehicle performs as designed".

I bought this vehicle on june 25, 2008 and the very next day it started making a loud squealing noise from the passenger side dash board area. It does not do it all the time. It comes and goes. It is loud and has been in the shop twice and they do not know what it is. It is going to the shop tomorrow for the 3rd time. This loud squealing noise is loud and happens a lot.

The sliding door sensor did not trigger and prevent the door from closing. It closed on my sons hand and his fingers were stuck in the door until i manually opened it. This was the sliding door on the driver side. Vehicle was parked and turned off.

The side sliding doors are not functioning properly.this is a safety issue and a recall is needed. The side sliding doors have reopen continuously on many occasions after we have closed & locked the doors. The doors have tried to close when we are getting in & out of the car & we have had to quickly open the door to make sure it did not close on us. The doors has failed to close completelythey reopen on their own. I have observed this many times. This is a very dangerous situation & is not safe & can cause injury. Our vehicle can be easily stolen at anytime because the doors open randomly on their own. We have come out of the store, the mall, to find the doors open. My husband have been called out from work to lock his van door because the door reopened on its own. This problem is a nuisance.*** we have had this problem before & greenbrier dodge said that it was the keys so they reprogrammed them. The problem has recurred & we have had our vehicle diagnosed again by greenbrier dodge on 03-13-2013. They stated that the problem is the latch-sliding.we paid for the parts & labor out of pocket..03-20-2013, greenbrier dodge replaced the latch. We realized after we left that the problem was not fixed. We returned to greenbrier dodge & our service advisor observed the door opening & closing on its own. They checked the vehicle again. Our service advisorinformed us that they don't know what the problem is. They will call chrysler in the morning.03-21-2013, received a phone call from our service advisor who told us they retook the door down & adjusted the latch. She wanted to keep the car in overnight to make sure that the door didn't open again. A recall needs to be done & dodge customer assistance refused to assist with the repairs. We haven't had our van for 5 years yet & we purchased it new.

The contact owns a 2008 dodge grand caravan. The contact stated that the rear passenger sliding door had water seeping in. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing.

My 2008 dodge grand caravan has had numerous issues with the rear passenger sliding door. The doors belt which houses and protects the wiring that controls the button & motor would become loose and cause the door to pop back open.due to this issue constantlyhappening it caused the plastic casing which houses the recall pins and metal wire that open and closes the door to crack and expose the metal recall pin. Once the plastic covering was fully cracked which by the way happened at the dealership in front of a service manager. The door then became stuck open. We couldn't even close it manually. I had hoped this issue would had been in the original door recall since the wire strap had to be zippy tied down. And the same wiring harness that needed to be zippy tied down due to it becoming loose is the cause of the break, i am very very upset with this issue. Especially that door being the main door my young children 8,4,and 2 use for school.the door is to heavy for my children to open and close by themselves..i have not once had a problem with my driver side rear passenger door.and what's even more upsetting is the small plastic piece that broke can't be replaced by it's self but as a whole door component.why would you use plastic to house such important pieces when other manufactures use metal?if i had notice this was plastic i wouldn't had purchased this van. And went with the original van i looked at. *ln

While traveling on an interstate on 4/17/15, the left rear sliding door opened by itself.

The incident on 4/17/15 was the first time the door opened by itself while the vehicle was in motion.

Sliding door opens itself while in motion on highway. Very dangerous!

Sliding door on the drivers side opens at random times. There are times when i am not even near the vehicle and will come out of a store and my sliding door is wide open, or i will be in the house and come out hours after locking the car and the door is wide open.

I have a 2008 dodge grand caravan sxt with 28,612 miles (mostly interstate). On november 23, 2008 i was going east on interstate 70.a few miles from hagerstown, maryland the car's front end started to shake.i called the dodge dealership in hagerstown.after having the car towed to the dealership the mechanic determined that the car's right front axle had snapped.they did not have the part in stock and had to order it.when i picked the vehicle up one week later the service manger told us the cause of the failed front end axle hub was due to the nuts being loose, thus allowing the axel to disengage.after doing some research on the internet i discovered that dodge has had similar problems with some of their other vehicles.according to edmunds inside line, there was a recall on the 2008 dodge charger, magnum, and chrysler 300.the article on edmunds inside line stated, 'the federal government says 5,509 2008 dodge chargers and magnums, along with some 2008 chrysler 300 vehicles, are being recalled for a problem that was first spotted in march on a 2009 dodge challenger pilot vehicle undergoing prelaunch evaluation at chrysler's chelsea proving grounds. The torque retention crimp feature "was missed" during the manufacture of one lot of rear axel hub nuts on the affected cars.'this could cause the nuts to loosen and allow the half-shaft to disengage from the wheel hub,' said the national highway traffic safety administration (nhtsa) in its recall summary of the problem. 'this could cause the vehicle to lose power and result in a crash without warning.'

Tl * the contact owns a 2008 dodge grand caravan. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle would make a loud abnormal noise. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic. The technician diagnosed that the wheel bearings needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 77,800 and the current mileage was 78,000.

This is concerning our 2008 dodge grand caravan that was modified by ams vans inc; vin number is [xxx].the rear axle beam currently has two fractures in it, which makes the vehicle unsafe to drive. I recently took the van into an auto shop for diagnostics because the rear wheels were making noises. Upon further inspection, we noticed the rear axle had two severe fractures along the c-channel, which makes the vehicle unsafe to drive.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

I first had to have front wheel bearing replaced at 79,000 miles oct 2012, now they are bad again at 127,000 miles.i've never had to replace a set of wheel bearings on a vehicle let alone two times in this short of distance,"miles".chrysler won't replace them but they have a service bulletins saying they will but it doesn't directly affect my vin # so i'm out of luck to over $1000 to fix it myself.

The contact owns a 2008 dodge grand caravan. The contact stated that while driving at low speeds he heard a loud noise coming in the vehicle, especially when making a left turn. The vehicle was inspected by a dealer who advised him that the front passenger wheel bearings had failed. The vehicle was repaired; however, the passenger side wheel bearings need to be configured. The failure mileage was approximately 60,000.updated 04/12/11*ljupdated 05/19/11

My 2008 dodge grand caravan at 60,000 miles is already needing the front wheel bearings replaced.i can see online that several people are having the same problem.one other owner reports comparing the bearings that were originally on the vehicle to the replacement part and noting that the replacement part is notably better made.this angers me in that it is not the only problem i've had with this newer vehicle.i'm not sure what type of safety hazard this creates, but i cannot afford $500 to replace it, after having just spent $500 to replace the brakes.i feel that dodge should honor replacing the wheel bearings as a vehicle recall!

The contact owns a 2008 dodge grand caravan. While drivingapproximately 5 mph she heard a high pitch scraping noise. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where she was informed that the wheel bearings on both front wheels needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 37,800 and the current mileage was 38,762.

The contact owns a 2008 dodge grand caravan. While driving approximately 45 mph, the contact heard a humming noise from under the hood. The failure occurred while she was driving at any spped. The humming noise became louder, the more the speed increased. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where the contact was informed that all the wheel bearings needed to be replaced. The vehicle had not been repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 58,000 and the current mileage was approximately 66,800.

My 2008 dodge grand caravan has the front wheel bearings going out. I would like to know why dodge has no recall on this.the shop were it is being repaired stated that dodge had a recall on another van for the wheel bearings and they are the same bearings and same part number for my van.

The contact owns a 2008 dodge grand caravan.the contact's vehicle was included in nhtsa campaign number: 14v055000 (rear axle).the contact notified the dealer and attempted to have the vehicle repaired numerous times; however, they did not know when the parts would be available.the manufacturer was not notified.the contact had not experienced a failure.

Tire pressure was a bit low on 2 passenger side tires so added air. End of valve stem (about 1/4" of thread) broke off in the pump nozzle taking the valve core with it immediately releasing all the air in the tire in a sudden rush.on inspection unit was corroded badly, same situation on rear tire.there is a recall on the2014 dodge ram truck for this very issue.there are numerous situations recounted on the internet of exactly this issue for various model years of the dodge grand caravan.aside from the cost and inconvenience of having to replace the tpms sensor, if this were to happen at high speed a crash possibly with fatalities would likely occur. Dodge/chrysler refuses to acknowledge this probably because it would be very costly for them to resolve and likely suits for wrongful death and negligence.

This is the most recent failure. Low tire light came on. When we tried to put air in tire the stem was cracked so could not put air into tire. This was the second tire on this vehicle to do this. Called dealership to see if there was a recall- we were told no recall. First time this happened it was several weeks before they could replace the stem for us because they were on back order...there had been so many problems they couldn't keep up! this should be a recall. We will change other two tire stems right away to prevent an accident.

Front driver side tire valve stem fractured when the plastic cap was removed, exposing needle valve.

Dashboard light indicating low tire pressure came on.when i stopped at service station to check and fill tires, i had difficulty removing valve caps from all 4 stems due to poor quality of the stems/corrosion.when i went to inflate front, passenger side tire, it practically crumbled in my hands!i had to have the cheaply constructed aluminum valve stem replaced, costing me $130!i wanted to replace it with a quality, standard, metal valve, but was told this was not an option, legally.another customer in the service station waiting room told me he'd had all four of his tires blow, on different occasions, while driving, due to these crappy valves!he recommended i have all 4 replaced as opposed to just the broken one, for my own safety and that of my family.i would, if the less expensive metal valve stems were an option!this should be a recall item!!

Upon noticing my tire was low, we started to unscrew the valve cap and the stem fell apart & part of it shot into my husband's shoulder.the tire went immediately flat.this was on my front tire.the piece just disintegrates in my hand.if this would have happened while driving it could have caused an accident.

Tire pressure monitor sensor failures in three 2008 & 2009 dodge grand caravans.the valve stem on the tpms snaps off at the threaded portion, causing a rapid deflation of the tire.this occurs when driving on snowy or slushy roads, or when attempting to remove the valve stem cover.this has occurred on three fleet vehicles over the last two months.all three vehicles required purchase of new oem tpms and reprogramming of the new tpms by the dealer.two vehicles required towing due to unsafe location at time of failure.one vehicle also required replacement of brand new tire that was destroyed at time of rapid deflation.

Tire low pressure indicator light came on and when i stopped to put air in it the cap came off with half of the valve stem and the inside piece flew out as tire deflated. I had previously asked the dealer to check and air up the tires as the indicator light had come on previously...with in 45 days. Thankfully this happened sitting still. I have the parts and the aluminum valve shows metal oxidation. These are hazardous.i wanted to switch to rubber valves and tires plus said it was federally mandated that i could not and they would lose their job and $10k fine. The dodge dealer wanted to $208 to replace it. My payments are only $244.50...in the "old days" a rubber stem was $1.75 and could mount it myself at the gas station.

The tire valve stem tips (the end metal part), which are integral with the tpms, break off leading to a sudden and complete loss of air from the tire.this has happened twice on two different tires on our 2008 dodge grand caravan.once at about 25k and the second time at 33k.the dodge dealership says this is a common occurrence but will not cover it under warranty.

Last sunday, 11/7/10, we were returning from vacation (200 miles from home) and noticed the air pressure was low in our l front tire of our 2008 grand caravan sxt (vehicle is equipped with tpms air sensors).we stopped at a nj gas station to fill the tire when the valve stem snapped off - instantly releasing all the air from the tire.we had to put on the spare and proceeded to look for a place to replace the broken valve stem.we did find one service station open on the nj turnpike, but they stated that they could not put in a standard valve stem as it would require a chrysler part. (as i mentioned earlier, it was sunday am.) to our dismay, we had to "limp" home on the "donut" which entailed traveling on several major interstate. Our concern is the safety factor.we have now noticed on the internet forums that this is a common issue with these aluminum valve stems as there are multiple reports of this occurring at approximately 25k-40k miles.(our vehicle has 43k.) after returning home, i contacted a local dodge dealer and they are also aware of this problem and had to order the part.thursday, 11/11/10, i had the broken valve stem/sensor replaced ($92.34) and asked for the broken valve stem/sensor which was given to us.when asked, the service person said that the replacement part has not been modified to keep this from occurring again - except for a plastic cap (which, by the way, the first one had).

Tire pressure monitoring sensor/valve stem2008 dodge grand caravan...valve broke off in my hands today.it is a $100 valve stem?it is corroded, and only has 25000 miles!this is a joke!

The contact owns a 2008 dodge grand caravan. The contact stated that while having the tires changed, the tire pressure sensor fractured from the vehicle. The contact stated that the failure recurred several times. The vehicle was taken to local repair shop where the contact was advised that the tire pressure sensors were defective and would need to be replaced. The manufacturer was contacted who did not offer any assistance. The vehicle was repaired. The failure mileage was 60,000 and the current mileage was 109,000.updated 05/25/11the consumer stated the sensors failed due to valve stem corrosion

The tpms valve stem broke at metal threads rapidly releasing air from tire!!!

2008 grand caravan sxt (equipped with a tpms air sensors) - with the change of weather, the low tire pressure indicator light went on.while checking the air pressure of the tires, two (of four) of the valve stem caps would not loosen.when attempting to remove one of the stuck valve stem caps, the valve stem snapped off - instantly releasing all the air in the affected tire.the local dodge dealership was contacted, parts ordered, and an appointment was made.they are aware of the recurrent problem with these aluminum valve stems/sensors.this is the second time for a valve stem to break on this vehicle. (the last one occurred at 43,097 miles on 11/7/10.) there is a safety concern with these failed components.we have noticedon the internet forums that this is a common occurrence and should be addressed by dodge/chrysler as a serious accident could result.

Tire pressure sensorfailure. Simply broke off completely while washing car. Possibly effected by roadsalt. Only 3 yrs old made from aluminum? never saw a metal shredded valve holder fail. Luckily failed while not moving. But should not have failed.

I am a mechanic of 25 years experience and feel the need to report a possible defect that exists on 2008 dodge caravans. During the last five months i have replaced three tire pressure monitor system pressure sensors. What make this problem alarming is that all three failed in the same manor. The failure occurs when the portion of the sensor called the valve stem fractures and detaches from the rest of the sensor causing a sudden loss of air pressure in the tire. I have photographs and have saved two of the sensors that have failed. I believe the problem is either a corrosion issue or a weak material used in the manufacture of the product causing it to fracture easily in ice and snow.

Valve stem broke causing the tire to deflate and warning light to come on in car.

2008 dodge caravan tire valve stem failure, valve stem broke off during adding air to tire.told by dealership this is a common problem with these tire pressure sensor valve stems on dodge caravans. In my entire history of owning vehicles i have never encountered this problem.to me looks like either a design or material problem that caused the valve stem to crack.

Three of the four tire pressure monitoring sensors (tpms) valve stems have failed on my 2008 dodge grand caravan.two of them failed in october 2009 and one in january 2010, all while attempting to add air.all tires immediately lost all air.the valve stem housing (threaded portion) snapped off.the three tpmss were replaced by the local dodge dealership.because i believed this was a safety issue, i requested that the forth tpms be replaced, however, the local dealership and chrysler hq customer service adamantly refused to replace the remaining one.if the valve stem were to break off while the vehicle is in motion, the results could be disastrous, as the tire would rapidly deflate.

The contact owns a 2008 dodge grand caravan. While the vehicle was parked the contact was adding air to the rear passenger side tire when the threaded portion of the valve stem snapped off. The contact stated that the failure occurred on the rear drivers side tire three weeks later. The tire pressure light was illuminated on the dashboard. The manufacturer was contact and referred the contact to the dealer. The vehicle was taken to the dealer . The technicians stated that the tire pressure sensor needed to be replaced and the repairs were not covered under warranty.the vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 54,000.

When checking tire pressure on vehicle, the rear passenger valve stem broke in half in the middle of the threads. Upon examination, the cause of the break was corrosion of the metal valve stem. The three other valve stems are also corroded. Chrysler customer service was contacted, but no help was given. The valve stem and tire pressure monitor are a one piece unit so changing the valve stems at the tire change is not practical ($50-75 per tire). Due to the corrosion and resulting safety concern, all four valve stems and tire pressure monitor will be replaced at a cost of approximately $200. The corroded valve stem is available for examination. If this would have happened on the highway, a major accident could have resulted.

The contact owns a 2008 dodge grand caravan. The contact stated that two valve stems have failed; the shaft of the valve stem broke off. The first time, he was alerted by a tire shop when he was having tires installed. In february 2010, when he checked the tire pressure, a valve stem popped off and the passenger front tire became flat within minutes. He was unsure of what tire the first stem came off of. The tire shop informed him that the valve stem failure may have been due to corrosion. After the latest failure, he took the vehicle to another tire shop and it was reiterated that the valve stems were corroded. The contact had the two valve stems replaced. He called the dealer and manufacturer who stated that since the repair was made that they could not assist help because they could not see the failure. He was also told that they could not repair the other two stems because they had not failed at that point. The current mileage was approximately 35,000. The failure mileage was approximately 32,000.

On the evening of may 27, 2015, i was unable to start my van.the engine did not turn over at all.the van doesn't use a "regular" key but a win module.i was going to have it towed the next day but the van started for my brother.he jiggled the clutch and explained the vehicle wasn't in gear.the van worked fine the next day on friday, may 29, 2015, until the evening.the engine again wouldn't turn over.i located a shop monday morning, june 1, 2015, that worked on win module systems and it was towed to the shop.unfortunately, due to vacations and illness, the shop was unable to look at my vehicle until monday, june 8, 2015.i was informed by the mechanic that the van's win module was faulty. During the interim, on june 4, 2015, i received a recall notice for my van regarding the win module.it was notice r03.since the recall, the win module isn't available.there isn't even enough to meet the needs of the dealerships (the two local dealerships have been given 20 yet, they have over 300 customers needing the replacement.this is outrageous.it will take months to correct this serious defect.i contacted chrysler and spoke to "joshua".chrysler has offered no assistance to me.i am without a vehicle.i have been advised that chrysler will not provide a car for my use until my vehicle can be fixed nor pay for a rental.that is wrong.in addition, my van, which is inoperable because of their defective part, will have to be towed to a dealership at my expense.that will be several hundred dollars. Why?i was not allowed to speak to a supervisor, even though, "joshua" kept saying there was nothing he could do to help me.why do i have to bear these additional expenses when this situation is completely and totally chrysler's fault?why wasn't chrysler required to increase the replacement win modules?this involves people's lives.

Safety recall notice that has been unresolved for 2 years due to lack of parts at our local dealer.

My dodge caravan is affected by the 14v-373 recall.according to the dealership i have been on the "waiting list" for replacement parts for several months and it may be another month or two until my name gets to the top of the list.since it has been 7 months since the recall is issued i find it very unacceptable that chrysler is not able to provide parts for this serious issue in a timely manner.

I called the dealership where i bought the vehicle new in 2008.i received this recall notice on may 16, 2015 for a recall dealing with the wireless ignition node (win) module may have unintentional movement of the frequency operated button ignition key (fobik) from the on to the accessory position while driving.

While driving down the highway at approx. 60mph the traction control came on and stuck onit would not shut off. Had to get to the side of the road and shut the vehicle off. This has happened at least 3 time in the last month and it only just started, i have owned the vehicle since 2011

Stationary in park. Ignition attimes will not turn all the way to off.

I have contacted lithia to replace the wireless ignition node multiple times and they continue to say they will call me and i still haven't heard from them. My ignition gets stuck and none of the electronics work.

I drove my van to town and back, no more than a 10 mile trip. Parked it in the usual spot. Two hours later, while my husband was in the shower and i was in my bedroom scratching off lottery tickets when the neighbor was yelling about our van being on fire. I looked outside and sure enough my van was engulfed in flames! nothing is left of it but a metal frame. We thought it was going to burn our home down. Weird thing is, years ago my supervisor's 2003 caravan was sitting in the parking lot for 7 years when it caught on fire and caught the car next to it on fire and burnt both down! it's too bad because i actually loved my van!

Recall ro3 important safety recall for wireless ignition node module i requested the service order for the important safety recall on 6/15/2015 received on 6/11/15. I have called every two weeks to check the status of the part order. This part has not been made accessible to the dealer. I called chrysler today and received no answers regarding when the part would be available to the dealer. Updated 10/06/15*lj updated 12/06/2017

Timp failurtes have resulted in incidents with random horn, alarm, headlight, door lock, panel and windshield wipers activities.

The passenger rear sliding door is stuck closed and will not open. The door makes a sound when you press the dome panel button and the key fob buttons but the door is still locked shut. I have attempted to open it from the inside and the outside also by holding the interior manual unlock latch while trying to open the door it won't open. I see this a safety issue as i have children and often times we are carpooling. The kids are not able to get out of the vehicle using all doors accessible to them. When pulling up into the pick up lines at school, i have to let the kids out of the driver side sliding door which is placing them facing moving traffic while getting out and having to walk around the van.

My vehicle engine light has been on for over one year and a half.tried fixes over and over and it still comes up again stating "misfiring, coil" etc.......it started affecting the fobiks to my vehical over a year ago and i have been replacing my fobiks or just using them manually since then.i received my vehicle recall and tried to schedule my recall today.the dealship states:they have already scheduled all the parts they currently have for customers which is 9.they also stated that i would have to keep calling in to scheudle an appointment randomly because they will not get a part in for my vehicle until one has been used that would fit my vehicle.but they don't know when and or which part is appropriate for my vehicle so they can't tell me when to call and make an appt.the dealer stated they don't know any other way to assist right now.i will have to continue to call in weekly randomly not know if the part i need is avaible or has already again been scheduled for another customer and the cycle for each part is 14 days.if they only have 9 parts of which they don't know if it is for my vehicle or not how will i know when to call in or if someone beats me to my part or when i will be able to get my vehicle fixed?what a process.and right when it is time to travel in my vehicle.not good at all! need help resolving this issue

This is in relation to recall 14v-373, for the last 6 months we have been trying to get dodge to take care of it, but every time we call in they never have any stock to take care of us. With as important as this recall is, i'm concerned for the safety of my family, and would like this resolved soon. We have been talking to the larry h. Miller chrysler jeep dodge ram at 1800 w 104th ave, denver, co 80234. I called their parts department once to ask if i could go in and pay for a new fob replacement and they said yes, they had stock for that - but somehow they don't have stock to take care of the recall... Any assistance would be welcome.

In regards to recall r03-chrysler has known about this recall for at least 1 year, we finally receive the official recall notice in may 2015 to get this issue, which is a huge safety issue fixed.i contact atlantic chrysler jeef in pleasantville njand they advise me they can not make an appointment they are keeping a list and when parts come in they schedule the appointment for the repair.the dealer currrely has 215 people on this "list" and have only been able to fix 9 vehicles out of the 215.i asked them if they provide loaner vehicles until the part comes in, they told me no.i contacted fca group recall assistance center and they advised me that chrysler is extremely behind on making the parts and shipping them to the dealers.i requested that chryler gives me a loaner since i dont have another vehicle to drive until this safety issue is corrected, beings i transport my children in this vehicle, they advised me they can not do that.she than contacted atlantic chrylser in pleasantvlle nj to confirm they are behind and she had them add me to the 'list"!!!this is a real safety concern and chrysler has had over a year to make and ship the replacement parts, this waiting and not providing us with loaners is just not safe and not fair to all vehicle owners.

Unable to get response from a dealer in connection torecall r03.have been contacting the local dealer for 6 months and always told the parts are not available.

I am referencing safety recall r03/14v-373.i have been asking the local dealer jack key motor co of alamogordo,nm for this recall to be fixed for almost 2 years. The parts manager keeps telling me that the manufacturer is unable to send out any,as though they are on back order. I am not sure where the problem lies,but this is not a timely remedy for a recall that "could cause unintended engine shutoff and increase the risk of a crash."

The van dies while turning at slow speeds, typically in traffic.van will easily restart after putting in park/neutral and cranking.has happened 3 times in the past few months.

The contact owns a 2008 dodge grand caravan. The contact stated that while parking the vehicle, the vehicle surged forward and crashed into a night light post. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic but the failure was not determined and the crash damages were repaired. The manufacture was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 172,000.

The contact owns a 2008 dodge grand caravan. While in a parking lot, the vehicle accelerated independently. The contact had to depress the brake pedal to stop the vehicle.

While at a stoplight in small city traffic in connellsville, pa, on 31dec2008, i decided to see how my enterprise rental vehicle, a 2008 dodge grandcaravan, would accelerate.pulling away from the light, i floored the pedal and got up to about 45 mph, then let up.no reduction in acceleration occurred.i took my foot from the pedal and the engine continued to race.i was still gathering speed, so i pushed the brake pedal with lots of gusto.the vehicle's brakes then worked against the engine for perhaps a quarter mile.the vehicle speed was reduced to about 20 mph, but when i did a test lift off the brake pedal, the vehicle once again started to accelerate.back on the brake, i swerved into a large, empty parking lot.i tried neutral and the engine then took off wildly, so i switched off the ignition.pausing a few seconds, i restarted the vehicle and found everything back to normal, except that the esp warning light that had come on with my intense braking was still on.i drove a few minutes and the light went off.i then returned the vehicle to the enterprise agency, where i shared my experience with the manager.

The contact owns a 2008 dodge grand caravan.he stated that when activating the cruise control between 25 mph - 55 mph, the engine revs up to 5,000 rpm's. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, and a technician replaced the thrust bearing. Immediately after the repair, the failure resurfaced. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer. The technician concluded that because they could not identify the cause of the failure, they could not provide a remedy. The failure mileage was 22,000. The current mileage was 24,000.

I was going 70 mph on a highway, with my two young children, and i came upon an area where i needed to reduce my speed to 60 mph. As i was putting my foot back over from the brake to the gas pedal my shoestring was suddenly caught on something. I could not move my foot so i quickly used my other foot to take my shoe off. Thankfully i was then able to use my bare foot to get in control of the pedals again. I stopped the van to see what happened and found that there is a clamp of some kind to the right of the gas pedal and my shoestring was caught in it. In my opinion this is a major safety issue because if i had been bumper to bumper in the city when this happened i would have likely rear ended someone. This was a very scary experience and something needs to be done to remove or replace this clamp on these vans.

When we were going 50 mph the accelerator stuck down to the ground would not stop and we almost crashed in an intersection.we had to turn off the car to slow down.something need to be done about this!

Driving on i96 near coopersville michigan, with my cruise control on.a slower vehicle was ahead of me so i had to brake to stop the cruise function.it did not dis-engage.i had to pull out in front of a faster vehicle to my left, in the fast lane and accelerate.at that point it fully accelerated.could not stop vehicle from accelerating.heavily applying the brake did not dis-engage the cruise control or stop the throttle from being fully engaged.pulled vehicle to shoulder, 7,000 rpm.turn off key to shut off.police in coopersville witnessed the incident.dealer currently has vehicle in ontario waiting for parts to correct problem.

The contact owns a 2008 dodge grand caravan. While driving 45 mph, the vehicle began to accelerate. The contact had to apply the brakes with force and the vehicle failed to slow down or stop. The contact was only able to stop the vehicle when he shifted into neutral gear; however, the rpms continued to rapidly increase. The failure mileage was 16320. The current mileage was 16330.

The contact owns a 2008 doge caravan. The contact stated that when attempting to accelerate, the accelerator pedal would sporadically become stuck in the open throttle position. In order to dislodge the accelerator pedal, he would shift into neutral and as the speed would reduce to 40 mph, the accelerator pedal would release. The manufacturer advised taking the vehicle to the dealer to be diagnosed. The vin was not available. The failure mileage was 40,000 and the current mileage was 42,000.updated 08/13/10. *ljthe consumer stated the van has been fixed. Updated 08/23/10

Car was put into drive, as i started to drive, i noticed the engine racing. I looked down and saw it was in first gear. I shifted to neutral and the engine raced, i engaged the transmission again and it slammed into drive and spun the wheels for a moment then drove normally. It has been accelerating while in drive on its own also.

2008 dodge grand caravan design flaw causes lines to corrode due to exposure to the elements causing the air conditioning to fail.the failure of the air conditioning due to the design flaw also causes the vehicle to have not window defogging capabilities, thus impairing the drivers ability to see the road.instead of having the rear and front windows defogged using the ac vents you must stop and wipe with a cloth or just cease driving altogether; this is especially true during while operating the vehicle in the rain.the design flaw causing the air conditioning to fail also poses a health risk to those traveling within the vehicle in extreme temperatures such as are now being experienced throughout the northeast.

During the winter last january 2009, i drove from kenosha wi to minneapolis mn. It was the new year weekend and on the trip back, the front windshield became caked with frost on the bottom. Mostly outside. The defrosters did not clear the bottom 6 - 8 inches of the windshield. This causes two problems, one the frost starts to build on the inside and begins to drip and there is water on your dash, second because the outside is caked your wipers begin to freeze up. Even if you clean it recurs quickly. The wipers being caked causes them not to work well clearing they just produce water streaks across your windshield, your vision becomes more and more obstructed because they can;t work. I called my chrysler dealer and he said they would address the next time i come in. I cam in this fall because i wanted to be able to show them it happening. They now state that all the dodge vans are like that and they cannot address it. I believe this is a safety hazard and should be addressed.

2008 dodge grand caravan v6 3.8l engine, 75k miles, vehicle has rear ac/heater blower option.the y heater hose, dealer part 4677603ak, in the engine compartment start leaking coolant at the rubber hose connection & the y pvc, coolant was dripping on the exhaust shield back of the engine close to the double wall. At that time i havebeen in slow traffic for at least 30 min when i noticed a burning smell coming from engine compartment. I shut off the engine, but coolant was still keep dripping for a while, had the hood open and tried to vent out engine compartment preventing a fire under the hood.home i replaced the bad heater hose with a new one purchased from napa auto parts, part no 16599.

Premature wear and failure of front wheel bearings, all rotors, brakes and pads. Possible failures are due to inferior parts being used during vehicle assembly.

I have at 2008 dodge caravan with 45,000 miles on it and experienced a wheel bearing failure on the right front of the vehicle. If the bearing had frozen i could have lost control of the vehicle before i was able to make a safe stop.

Both of the wheel bearings were completely worn out, causing grinding, harsh road noise, and clicking when turning.the bearings assembly have been reengineered by dodge but they are not issuing any recalls.dodge is making you replace both hubs at the same time.failure of the wheel bearing while driving on the interstate can cause the vehicle to have an accident.

Front hub bearings needed to be replaced at 47,155 miles.

Tire pressure light started flashing and then went solid while driving 70 mph.i pulled over to check my tires.when i started to unscrew the cap on one of the tires, the valve stem broke and the tire went flat.i had just driven through a tunnel and was headed towards another.had the stem broke while i was driving, it could have caused a serious accident.there are so many complaints about this issue that i can't understand why there hasn't been a recall.there was a recall on the sensor not reading the correct tire pressure which can lead to over inflating and a tire blowing out, but not on this which seems to be affecting a lot of people.

2nd incident - tire stem (valve) broke when removing plastic cap to add air. I reported when the first valve stem broke (to this system) also.

Hub bearing assembly failed.this a safety issue have children and this need to be fix have concerns about reports by several customers that have to come out of pocket when this is adefect from manufacter.

Front driver side tire valve stem fractured when the plastic cap was removed, exposing needle valve.

Valve stem corroded and catastrophically failed.i was lucky it didn't end up embedded in my face.

Dodge grand caravan 2008.left front hub/bearing assembly bad at ~38,000 miles.

The contact owns a 2008 dodge caravan. The contact stated that after installing replacement tires on the vehicle, the tire pressure warning light was illuminated.the contact attempted to add air to the tire but the valve stem failed. The vehicle was taken to a tire specialist where they advised that all four of the tire valves needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the issue. The failure mileage was 40,000.
