Van has been having problems starting, it makes a clicking noise but the van won't turn on, yet all other electrical devices continue to work perfectly. After several attempts the van will eventually start, but other times we have had to leave it overnight parked due to it not started after trying for almost an hour. We replaced the battery, and the problem persisted. We took it to a dodge dealership and the win module was replaced and a new key was ordered and reprogrammed at a cost of almost $1000! a few weeks after getting the van back the problem started again and once again left me (pregnant) and my 2 young children stranded in 101 degree temperature. A tech from the dealership met with us this morning to look at the van and suggested it might be the starter. We can't continue to purchase parts and pay for labor and yet the vehicle isn't working as it should. This is dangerous for a pregnant woman with a newborn on the way and two young children.

All the dash lights / electronics go off and come back on intermittently along with the windshield wipers turning on and off at the same time.the power doors do not work reliably either as they have closed randomly while open.it's very distracting while driving and we feel it puts us at risk of an accident, or worse, when it occurs.dealership has problems diagnosing it do to the intermittent nature, but can pull off bunches of codes, when hooked up to their scan tool.however, none of the error codes point to what caused the problem, just that a problem has occurred.they replaced the tpim module, but that did not fix the problem and they have pretty much given up..

I received a safety recall on my caravan, in june 2014, it says this was a safety recall,as of this morning tuesday 11 am november 11, 2014. I have heard nothing from chryaler, and nothing from the dealer. I called the dealer, the service department has no idea when they will receive "any parts" for this recall,i said this was unsatisfactory since it has been almost 5 months,the service department transferred me to the parts department, and the parts department said they have not recieved "any" parts for this recall,and had no idea when they would!.the recall notice stated if i had concerns which the dealer was unable to resolve, i should call their chrysler group recall assistance center at 800-853-1403. I also called this number and was told they "also have no idea when parts will be available for this recall".i told them this was completely unsatisfactory,since i drive with children much of the week, and since the recall is almost 5 months old i want action. They took my mailing and email address, and said they will email me when parts are available.this also is absolutely unsatisfactory for a "safety recall"this is a "safety" issue?????evidently chrysler and possibly nhtsa???do not think it is, please advise.

My husband and i purchased a 2009 dodge grand caravan sxt about 2 weeks ago. We were so thrilled to go from a compact car to a roomy van to accommodate our growing family, (1 month old, 2 year old and 7 year old). It was such a relief, though thats what it felt like... As the days preceded to go on, we were driving the van on a main street, leaving the grocery store and noticed the van stalled out of no were (shut off) mid traffic, almost causing a bad accident, with our entre family aboard... It was frightening! the van was taken in immediately to a local shop, and we were told the oil plug on the oil pan was bad, so we got the entire pan replaced at a whopping 450.00, hoping that'd fix the issue we got the car back drove off the repair shop's lot and literally less than 2 miles in the van stalled out again. Now it's sitting.... I refuse to put our lives and others lives in danger just to get around comfortably. We called dodge customer care on 03/11/20 and was told to take it to a local dodge dealership to ensure the vehicle doesn't need repairs due to any prior recalls it may not have received. We are doing that today... Though we haven't taken the van to dodge... I can't help but lose hope in knowing that this deadly issue will be resolved, due to all the other threads iv'e read not only on this site but other sites as well... Having the same issue... A stalling van in mid traffic....i mean my husband was going 40 mph the first time the van stalled!!!!!!! there needs to be a recall.... And fast.... ... This puts lives at stake....... Please help!

My van turns off while driving it numerous times since this date. It also wont start at times and i am stranded anywhere from five to 30 minutes.power steering gets stuck sometimes and when braking at high speeds the whole car shakes.
The fab key falls out of the dash. Sometimes kills the engine. The recall for this problem was june 16, 2011 and to this date they still haven't even started to fix it. We have not been in an accident because of it, but it could happen at anytime.
At 65 mph on a smooth 4 lane highway with cruize control on all electrical , including the dash instrumentation,suddenly went out and van began slowing down; then the dash idiot lights flickered for a milli-second and power returned with the van /engine running; then after a few hundred yards, it repeated the failure and stayed on. The next day i had the dealer replace the battery; they had never heard of such a problem but i found many similar ones in an inter-net search of "car problems". I no longer can trust the vehicle. It sounds just like the problem with the electrical/ignition reportedthis month in some gm products. Very dangerous!!

At approx 182000 miles the electrical system controlling my dashboard warning lights,speedometer,tachometer,wipers,lights and switches for power windows and locks went completely haywire. This happened without warning upon starting vehicle. At the moment of start up wipers began to swipe without turning on switch, headlights began to flash and all warning lights on dash lit indicating failure of all safety systems. After carefully driving around a parking lot i was in to see if the vehicle was safe and driveable i then noticed that my speedometer and tachometer would cycle on and off at random intervals.they would indicate proper functioning for minutes and then go completely off with all warning lights activating. This on and off scenario lasted all the way home a journey of approx 20 miles. Upon reaching home i also found that i could no longer control the electric windows or locks from my drivers position. I did an internet search when i got home about this issue and luckily was able to find a youtube video from an owner of a 2008 chrysler town&country minivan similar to mine who had encountered the same safety issue. Apparently this owner had done some investigating of their own and found that a wire coming from the engine compartment into the drivers door either breaks over time from opening and closing of door over the years, or a wire chafes and shorts out intermittently thus causing this issue. In order to fix this problem the driver side interior door skin must be removed and the wire loom going to the driver door controls must be examined in order to find the proper wire to repair.this repair was accomplished by a local mechanic for me based on my showing him the video. In my opinion this is a definite safety issue as it involves,speedometer, tach, warning lights,wiper control,headlights that flash and use of power locks and window controls.

Had my 2009 dodge caravan's recalls repaired finally when parts were available in july 2015.had the van tuned up and drove to florida with the false sense of security that the van would not stall while driving.my whole family made it to florida, but then the van stalled 3 times while driving at low speeds again! we were so afraid we would be stuck.i did not do it any more while on vacation and then did drive home safely.we had our children in the van and was very afraid that this could happen on the freeway.it is now november and the van continues to lose complete power while driving at least 2 times a week.it has happened at low speeds in the city.my children are afraid to ride in the van.i contacted chrysler/dodge who stated since i had the recalls repaired it is my responsibility to find out what is wrong with the van.this is crazy, dodge knows what the problem might have been and their repairs did not resolve the problem.this van was bought brand new and had had starting and stalling problems for a very long time.how can i get this resolved without out of pocket expenses, knowing this is known problem by dodge.this is not safe to drive. We are not rich and cannot just go buy another van.this is a dangerous situation for my family.

Extreme toxic hazard caused by failed factory installed heater hose connectors. Full information available. 2000-2010 vans, possibly a large amount of different vehicle involved. There was a problem with the coolant system. The first indication of any problem was a strange odor that occurred at various times, inside the vehicle after being inside for a length of time.i searched for obvious leaks, but there were none.it seemed that chrysler used a molded plastic compression type hose fitting in the assembly process of their coolant system, in some vehicles. The fitting had one flaw, as i have found out, were made to be put together correctly, they are keyed, but, if put together incorrectly, as in this case, it allowed leaking of ethylene glycol coolant to drip onto a 2200 plus exhaust manifold cover, in the vehicle engine compartment, in small droplets, thatbecomes a super-heated vapor, which is drawn into the vehicle ventilation system, when it is in operation...updated 12/17/13 the consumer stated the vehicle stalled while in themidst of driving.the dealer eventually replaced the ignition switch.updated 01/07/16.

Received important safety recall for fobik on vehicle in late sep 2014 (6 months ago).fobik causes continued problems (not seating correctly, getting stuck in accessory mode, not allowing vehicle to start).dealer can't repair due recall l25/nhtsa 14v-373 (they need the same part that remains, as of this date, 'unavailable'.how long does an 'important safety recall' get to languish before it is a priority for repair?6 months certainly does not infer 'a safety priority'. Why issue a safety recall notice months before the remedy part is available to enable a repair? this seems a bit backwards.

I currently am buying a 2009 dodge grand caravan is part of the recall for faulty ignition module. This has cause the vehicle to sporadically not start, even after a complete day of driving. This issue started shortly after i purchased the van almost 2 yeas ago. I was told my key needed reprogrammed, paid to have it done and this has obviously not fixed the issue , as it continues to progressively worsen. The vehicle is now shutting off while driving and will not restart. I have spoke with the dealership and called chrysler and they both say that i have to pay to have it even diagnosed because they do not think that the recall is the issue. I was also told that even if it is the recalled part there is no fix available for the 2009 as of yet. I fear the vehicle will not be functional much longer as the problem seems to occur on now a daily basis. The dealer insists it is something else any other time i have had the problem and just tries to just sell me another part that will not fix it.so what are other options other than paying for a car that is non functional or giving the car back loosing anything i have paid on it and being without a vehicle?
I was driving the van on a major road at 45-50 mph, when the engine cut out.power steering was disabled, i was able to pull van off onto side street and restart.i don't know if fob switched to acc or off, i was just upset it stalled on major road.per article i have read, fob can move out of place if ride is bumpy, well i live in michigan where pot holes are sometimes unavoidable.road was bumpy that i was traveling on. I know their is a recall on van l25 for the ignition switch, i have since removed the fob from my key ring and will only drive with fob in ignition.

Purchased used 2009 dodge grand caravan sxt in 2/2013.vehicle has lost power multiple times at various speeds (5 mph to 35 mph).each time it has been triggered by a "bump"in the road (ie. Small pothole, railroad tracks, etc.sometimes while turning a corner, other times not).each incident has required carefully getting to the side of the road and putting the car in "park" and restarting.have already been to one mechanic who couldn't figure out what was wrong with it.will try a dodge dealer next. I am very disappointed that dodge has not looked further into this issue considering the number of complaints on this site along with the fact that it has recalled the 2010 model for this very reason.also, very sorry that i traded in a 2001 dodge grand caravan for this vehicle.the manufacture date for my vehicle is 12/08.i hope someone will investigate this issue further.having the engine lose power with no warning with two young children in the backseat is absolutely terrifying.clearly, the 2010 dodge grand caravan recall for electrical problems has not included all dodge grand caravans with this problem since there are many complaints listed on this page.

While driving the wipers, headlights, and dashboard started operating crazy. It would occur every 30 seconds and would not stop. The only solution (temporary) was to remove the fuse associated with the driver side door. This caused the craziness to stop, but now i lost all ability to operate any functions on the driver side door. The fuse was tested and it is working just fine. While this was not an immediate danger, it was still scary having this happen to me while driving with my young children in the car. We are unable to discover a permanent solution. After review, it appears we are diffidently not alone. Please figure this out!

Last year wife was driving vehicle on highway during vacation. Power was lost and vehicle would not steer or break.vehicle was difficult to restart as ignition turned over then shut off again.very fortunate there was no accident.this has since recurred twice, once while coming to a stop at a red light, and another while existing a parking garage.also, vehicle constantly needs to be started twice, does not always stay powered up after initial ignition. Did not think of filing a nhtsa complaint at the time, but with the acknowledgement of ignition problems from chrysler, wanted to make sure i got this logged.

The vehicle was struck by lightning july 2014 when it was parked under a tree during a bad storm.it eventually was declared a total loss by progressive insurance after they attempted several times to have all the electrical components repaired.several times they repaired it and put me back into the dangerous vehicle which was accelerating on its own and several times would not brake.i insisted they declare it a total loss before something terrible would happen.they finally agreed in october 2014.however, my concern is that i was told the vehicle was sold at auction and that puts someone else in danger. The vehicle should not of been handed over to someone else.

Returning home from vacation while exiting interstate to merge with oncoming traffic at approx 60/65 mph i tapped the brake to disengage the cruise control and the vehicleto accelerate rapidly. I applied the brakes with all my force but it continued to accelerate. I was finally able to get it to the side of the road putit into park and shut the engine off., in a few minutes i restarted the motor and the car seemed ok. We drove a short way and stopped at a hotel for the night. The next morning as we started home the vents suddenly began to blow out very hot air . Neither the heat, air or fans were on. After pushing the hvac buttonsno ne of which were lighted the air suddenly stopped. I turned the air back on in a few minutes and everything worked. We drove to our dealer hendersonville cdrj and got an appt for this fri morning. The man didn't seem to have any idea of the problem. On our way home the horn started to beep intermittently for a few seconds at a time. We have not driven since then and will not until we take it back to the dealer on friday.xwe are a retired senior couple, my husband is disabled and this van is our only vehicle and it is frightening to have been placed in such a very dangerous situation. Hopefully the dealer will be able to identify and correct this problem.

While driving on the fwy my van turned off. It was after driving over a part of the freeway that seemed to have a dip. My gauges went to "0" & i felt a loss of power. I turned the key fob in the ignition & it seemed to start back up. The gauges went to the max and all warning lights flashed red as my car does when i initially start it. On 8/11/14 i was exiting a driveway, the same thing happened crossing a 2 lane road. I didn't turn the key fob this time as my van turned off & then back on by itself. I dropped my van off to have it checked out, but they didn't find a recall on anything with the ignition or engine turning off. I looked up the info & found recall code l25 describing exactly what was happening. I spoke to a rep named crystal at the recall phone number given & she confirmed my vehicle will be included in the recall & notices will be going out as they just updated the notice this morning. Since the recall was just updated, i have to pay for the inspection on the wireless ignition node, keep all work orders & receipts, wait for the recall notice & get reimbursed because this is dangerous. I have to borrow the $ as i cannot run the risk of driving my 3 kids around & have an accident. I am also having a problem with my engine running hard, sounding like marbles are rattling against metal as i accelerate & it making a glug glug sound & running hard. I just paid $412 to replace my calipers & brake pads as they were not releasing & caused the brake pads to crumble (replaced 2 weeks prior) & as i was braking it sounded like metal scraping against metal. This was due to the friction and heat from the calipers not releasing. Luckily my rotors weren't warped (also brand new & placed 2 weeks prior).my vehicle has 57,576 miles & i keep up the maintenance on it as well.. This is very concerning. Never had issues like this on a vehicle with less than 100,000 miles.

It seems the van possesed at times. While driving or just starting the van (not moving) at randomy everything will go haywire. Lights on the dash all turn on, odometers all go to -0-, wipers start wiping & headlights turn on all while nothing has been turned on other than starting the vehicle or while it's already in motion. I have read many complaints about this same issue & nothing has been done about it. Sad that chrysler/dodge can't own up to this electrical issue & put out an official recall.... Safe to say they don't even know what is going on if they can't put out a recall on this issue. Smh

12-30-15 told by chrysler dealer that reason for dash warning lights intermittantly flashing is the tipm module, as well as the drivers door module being faulty and needing replacement.
The win module was replaced under a safety recall in 2017 for abruptly shutting down the engine while driving.the module worked fine until this month,the car suddenly died twice in the space of approximately two miles.i was able to start it and it did not fail again on the way to the dealership for repairs.the dealership diagnosed the problem as the win module and replaced it for $582.i requested it be covered under the recall and was told chrysler would not honor it a second time.i contacted chryslers customer service and was told the recall replacement part had a 2 year warranty and that they would not cover replacement.i am concerned that the original defect is still in the module or there is another new defect in the module.in any event the problem of unexpected shutdown of the vehicle while driving still exists.i would hope you could show chrysler the wisdom in fixing this issue and making their customers whole.

The vehicle shutoff in the middle of an intersection after putting the vehicle in motion after a red light turned green. The vehicle has a hard time starting recently and we believe it's due to the ignition recall. We contacted our dealer and they said a bad key problem is separate from the win module detent ring problem. They investigated the problem and said a bad win module is the cause for not starting. My belief is that the loose detent ring caused a failure of the key due to a bad connection for years. I'm also afraid we could be seriously injured before the recall as this is our only vehicle. We called dodge and they said nothing could be done safety wise for us until the recalled part is manufactured. I asked them if they could provide us a rental vehicle until then they said no.so i said you know there's something dangerous and yet there's nothing you can do and we are totally on our own if we get injured, to which they replied "yes".we want to file a complaint against dodge/chrysler for not looking out for our safety.thanks,[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
The window track broke on the driver side window. The motor was good because it still worked to rolls down all windows except the wing windows! so we replace the track got it all in every window worked except the wing windows again! then it broke 2 weeks later again so we bought the whole set up for driver window track & motor, sill wing windows won't work and the track on the driver window broke less than a week after putting it in! now i have wood holding the driver side window up and my wing windows still won't open! i'm not sure specific dates so i'm gonna guess below i can get record from autozone to prove i've bought the parts 2 times!

This vehicle has had several electrical component failures that were premature and unexplained. Computer module replaced twice, sensors replaced before they should have gone bad. We also were experiencing small electrical issues all over the vehicle, problems with windows, slide doors, accessories, radio etc. After inspection of the electrical system a problem was observed with two of the main wiring harnesses for engine components, one was routed over the top of the radiator hose where it attaches to the top of the motor allowing excessive heat to melt the wire protection sleeves and wire coating which caused contact of wires exposed. Another section of wiring routed down from the main fuse box and rested on top of the transmission cover resulting in overheating of the wires. These two issues caused excessive heating of the wiring to effect the current flow to and from the main wire port for all electrical components of the vehicle and resulted in system malfunctions everywhere. This is a poor design by the manufacturer and a serious safety concern. I would want anyone with the same vehicle to know this is probably the result of numerous electrical component failures or problems they are experiencing that may lead to excessive repairs that are not necessary if the wiring is routed in a better way to avoid overheating.

Am having the exact same issue as the k14 recall. But am being told that is only for power doors. Last year i changed a new the sliding door wiring harness but still am having the same issue,by opening and closing the door it broke the censor clip and then broke the plastic cover on top of wire know the wire is being damaged my front windows are not working the air bag sensor not working. And that exactly because of the hinge which is breaking the plastic cover while ursliding the doors.
I was just starting driving after being at a stop. I used the window control that automatically rolls the window completely up. When the window reached the top, there was a loud popping noise. After that, the window started slowly sliding down on it's own. My husband disassembled the door and replaced the window regulator. Since that time (10 months ago), the same thing has happened a total of 3 times. The belief is that it is an electrical problem, making the computer system think that the window isn't up all the way (possibly a sensor not detecting that the window is completely up). The system then keeps trying to roll the window up more, snapping the cables connected to the regulator. Not only is this a nuisance, it is an expensive fix. It is also very distracting while driving and could cause an accident due to the loud noise when it breaks, as well as trying to keep your window from falling into your door while driving.

Instrumental cluster lights turn on, all dial indicators go to 0, wipers turn twice, outside lights turn on and then off, and warning beeps inside. Can repeat different frequency time, but usually every few seconds. Some warning lights remain on, especially brake warnings and airbag. 2 dealers reviewed and recognized issue but stated did not know what to do. Rarely, after start-up only brake light and airbag warnings stay on and no other light issue. First dealer replaced instrument cluster and improved by no left dial issue, but warning lights still occur. All warning lights, center dial, and right dial, lights, and wiper issues still occur. Dealer checked and noted programming issue but informed nothing can do. Now occurs more often. All brake warning lights now always show after beginning to drive. Then all other warning lights, and so on, begin as noted. Recorded and attached. Frequency has increased. If i turn outside lights on, lights will not turn off when issue occurs but turn signal still stops when i have them on. Other drivers then do not know if iam turning. Airbag, brake, fuel lights, wipers, and outside lights worry me since everything shows warning or stops while driving, as frequent as every few seconds during entire drive. Is one of the issues real or are they all pretend due to the vehicle issue? occurs all speeds, temperatures, and so on.
As i was driving the vehicle, it suddenly shut off. The vehicle was still in motion as it shut off. The steering locked up as thi shappened, therefore i could not even move the vehicle safely to the side of the road. I had it towed tot he dealership and the win module was replaced.

Sliding doors have had numerous issues that cause the doors to lock up and fail. I have had 3 issues in under 5 years with both sliding doors locking up and failing requiring electrical work to be done to correct the problem. My vehicle has just about 50k miles and has had 3 failures with the door latches not opening. This issue needs to be looked at as a severe issue in cases of safety because both my doors do not open and this vehicle is gently used for a 10 year old vehicle. Another issue with the sliding door is the harnesses that are installed from the factory. They fail and the wiring breaks over 1 to 2 years. This is an issue that happens way to often.

Vehicle while both driving on road and in park stalls. It givens no notice or warning that this is going to happen. At least 10 times i have noticed that the ignition switch has "moved" from the "run" position to "accessory," by itself. I have taken it to 3 different dealers but each has said they couldn't find an issue no codes have been coming up in the computer.i even had it stall in the dealer when i picked it up yet they have not done anything to fix the problem. When it stalls the steering wheel is extremely hard to move. I have 3 small children in the car when it stalls on main roads it is very frightening and dangerous trying to control the car, put it into neutral or park and get it to start or try to get to a safe place to restart it! i have contacted chrysler-dodge customer service, service managers etc all to no avail.i asked the dealer service managers if there was any recall and they told me there wasn't any....i see on nhtsa website there is one but it is for 2010 and up but the 2009 vehicles also have the same stall problem!report receipt date: mar 01, 2011 nhtsa campaign number: 11v139000 component(s): electrical system

The problem is that the ignition accidentally switched from the "run" position to "accessory" causing the engine to shut off. This happened while in a parking lot.since then it has happened multiple times--once as i was backing out of my driveway and once while pulling into traffic on a busy street.this could have caused a serious accident, but fortunately this time it didn't--as there were no cars coming.vehicles built a few months after mine have had a recall for this error.i believe that the recall should be expanded.
Airbag light came on when started vehicle and never turned off. Took it in to dealer and was told it was my battery causing the light. Replaced the battery and they re-did the diagnostic and they told me the orc module is bad due to the battery. They said my battery was charging to 1000 volts and was only supposed to be 800volts. So now i am stuck with a bill for $631. I was told that the same year model had a recall for this reason and mine didn't qualify because it was made 23 days after the recal notice s07. The van is in the shop currently waiting on the part.
Our van has stalled numerous times while in motion over the past 2 weeks.there is no early warning when it will happen.it has happened in parking lots at 5 mph and also at at highway speeds. When it stalls, all electrical components still work, but the power steering and power brakes no longer work.it has never failed to restart.i have seen on nhtsa's website that there is a recall on the same vehicles made between aug 2009 and june 2010, but not my van with a build date of jan 26, 2009.the problem on the recall is that the win module no longer holds the key in the run position, it falls to on and the vehicle stalls.i also see numerous complaints on nhtsa's website for pre aug 2009 dodge grand caravans built prior to aug 2009, so i am not the only one experiencing the issue.the recall needs to be expanded.

I was notified of recall nhtsa 14v-373 r03 probably a year ago, as of today the part is still not available at any local dodge dealer to be fixed. Yesterday, my van stalled during a turn at an intersection. I was able to restart the van after gliding into a gas station. I feel a reasonable amount of time has passed since the first recall notification for this to have been fixed.

Our grand caravan is experiencing the same electrical problem that the 09 ram trucks and 09 journey's experienced.our driver door controls for the mirrors, the driver and passenger windows, door locks, and window locks are not working.i contacted our local dodge dealer who told me that our vehicle was not part of the recall.given that the ram and the journey had the exact same problem i would like to know if the caravan can be added to it.

Last year wife was driving vehicle on highway during vacation. Power was lost and vehicle would not steer or break.vehicle was difficult to restart as ignition turned over then shut off again.very fortunate there was no accident.this has since recurred twice, once while coming to a stop at a red light, and another while existing a parking garage.also, vehicle constantly needs to be started twice, does not always stay powered up after initial ignition. Did not think of filing a nhtsa complaint at the time, but with the acknowledgement of ignition problems from chrysler, wanted to make sure i got this logged.

Problem mentioned in safety recall 11v139000 happens with 2009 grand caravan manufactured in august 2009.fobik is loose and car will turn off if on bumpy road or wallet is attached to key ring.has happened more than once.
Vehicle ignition shuts off when in use while driving causing dangerous situations especially while in intersections, have had near miss situations due to this problem, chrysler says my vehicle is not included in their really, mine was made three months prior to their recall of ignition switches that were recalled for 2009 model dodge grand caravan's, they do not want to replace my vehicles ignition switch which is doing the same thing that gm cars and recalled caravan's are.
Driving on the hwy 485 toward airport when i heard a sudden sound in my dashboard. It was a etc (electronic throttle control light) and the esc (electronic stability control light)that came out and, my temperature control gauge needle dropped from mi-range to zero. I slow down the car pulled it on the side of the highway so i can check to see what was happening and the next thing i know was a heavy smoke coming out of the hood and that was it.
When the ignition switch is turned the car will not start. I have to turn the key over 15 times in order for the van to catch and start, the problem is becoming more frequent. Also, when the dvd player is in the up position all of the warning lights come on in the dash the windshield wipers cut on and none of the dials work on the speed, gas and thermostat indicators. The dvd problems occur when the vehicle is parked and on the road operating. The ignition problem is when you go to start the vehicle.
The vehicle was struck by lightning july 2014 when it was parked under a tree during a bad storm.it eventually was declared a total loss by progressive insurance after they attempted several times to have all the electrical components repaired.several times they repaired it and put me back into the dangerous vehicle which was accelerating on its own and several times would not brake.i insisted they declare it a total loss before something terrible would happen.they finally agreed in october 2014.however, my concern is that i was told the vehicle was sold at auction and that puts someone else in danger. The vehicle should not of been handed over to someone else.
I was driving down the highway at 70 miles an hour, and all of a sudden my car shuts off and turns back on and could not steer for a few mins, and it would not go over 45 miles an hour, every thing shut off in the car, it happened again, in rush hour traffic. My brakes on the car and rotors i have replaced 4 times in 3 years its eats them up, sometimes the side doors just open by them selves, driving or parked, control buttons are going out all the time, windows go up and down on there own, this car is a death trap waiting to happen. I have contacted the dodge dealership i am on a waiting list and have been for 4 months they still say the parts are not in yet.
Unable to clear codes after all repairs completed. Alarm goes off repeatedly after the key/ignition was replaced for recall.
On one occasion, my vehicle swerved without warning into the oncoming traffic lane, like being blown by a strong gust of wind.on another occasion, the vehicle spontaneously started pulling and my wife had to fight it to get it to pull safely to the shoulder.when i arrived i tried it and experienced the same problem.the dealer diagnosed it as a faulty clockspring & steering wheel position sensor.the electronic stability program hadimproperly sensed the steering wheel position and had been trying to compensate. While replacement of the said parts resolved the problem, my family was lucky to have avoided a serious accident when the vehicle swerved into the oncoming traffic lane.
While driving the wipers, headlights, and dashboard started operating crazy. It would occur every 30 seconds and would not stop. The only solution (temporary) was to remove the fuse associated with the driver side door. This caused the craziness to stop, but now i lost all ability to operate any functions on the driver side door. The fuse was tested and it is working just fine. While this was not an immediate danger, it was still scary having this happen to me while driving with my young children in the car. We are unable to discover a permanent solution. After review, it appears we are diffidently not alone. Please figure this out!
I was driving down the road on a shallow left-hand curve when i turned the steeringwheel to the right, coming out of the curve, all the sudden the left front brake (lfb) began to chatter as though the lfb abs was engaging.the esp bas and the traction control lights came on.the van violently swerved towards the oncoming lane.luckly, there was no traffic come at me.i was able to over correct with the steering and regain control.i took the van to a local shop which diagnosed the steering position sensor inside the air bag clockspring to be bad.it was replaced and the problem went away.i feel this is very dangerous problem and should be addressed with a recall before someone is killed!
I have been having an issue with my 2009 dodge grand caravan wherein my "anti-skid" system is somehow activated and kills my engine and tightens up my steering while i am driving down the road.i am able to keep my cool and throw it into neutral and restart the van and put it back into drive and keep going.i have been fortunate that this has not happened in high speed or thick traffic.i am concerned that this may cause an accident and injuries.i found a similar complaint on the internet:http://www.justanswer.com/dodge/8tir2-2009-grand-caravan-59-000-miles-traction.html.
Keep having issues with transmission while driving with my children in the car.
Was driving and had multiple stereo electrical issues also lost dvd monitor then abs esp bas code came up and had some radical braking with on and off repetition of stereo functions. Stereo and abs esp bas still not functioning.
Dash lights indicating failure of stability control and brake force help have illuminated and won't reset. Mechanic states vehicle requires steering angle sensor. Getting part for repair seems to be difficult. This is a safety issue in my area as roads are heavily covered in snow and ice for months at a time.

While driving on the fwy my van turned off. It was after driving over a part of the freeway that seemed to have a dip. My gauges went to "0" & i felt a loss of power. I turned the key fob in the ignition & it seemed to start back up. The gauges went to the max and all warning lights flashed red as my car does when i initially start it. On 8/11/14 i was exiting a driveway, the same thing happened crossing a 2 lane road. I didn't turn the key fob this time as my van turned off & then back on by itself. I dropped my van off to have it checked out, but they didn't find a recall on anything with the ignition or engine turning off. I looked up the info & found recall code l25 describing exactly what was happening. I spoke to a rep named crystal at the recall phone number given & she confirmed my vehicle will be included in the recall & notices will be going out as they just updated the notice this morning. Since the recall was just updated, i have to pay for the inspection on the wireless ignition node, keep all work orders & receipts, wait for the recall notice & get reimbursed because this is dangerous. I have to borrow the $ as i cannot run the risk of driving my 3 kids around & have an accident. I am also having a problem with my engine running hard, sounding like marbles are rattling against metal as i accelerate & it making a glug glug sound & running hard. I just paid $412 to replace my calipers & brake pads as they were not releasing & caused the brake pads to crumble (replaced 2 weeks prior) & as i was braking it sounded like metal scraping against metal. This was due to the friction and heat from the calipers not releasing. Luckily my rotors weren't warped (also brand new & placed 2 weeks prior).my vehicle has 57,576 miles & i keep up the maintenance on it as well.. This is very concerning. Never had issues like this on a vehicle with less than 100,000 miles.
On multiple occasions while driving, the vehicle decelerated on its own, while also losing all ability to steer or brake. All power control to steering, braking and maneuvering was lost, although the engine did not appear to shut off. The first incident caused my wife to end up in a ditch with the children in the car. Chrysler and their dealerships will not say this is related to the nhtsa campaign # 14v373000/ chrysler l25 recall because the engine did not appear to shut off. Whether part of the recall or not, these problems are serious safety issues for my family and others on the road. Additionally, chrysler does not have parts available for the recall and were not able to provide an availability eta for replacement parts. I was also told by chrysler that i have been notified of the recall, and as such, they hold no liability for me driving the vehicle until replacement parts available.

The car for years just wont start.you turn the key and then nothing happens.it has been an ongoing issue for years and just happened again today on 3 separate trips.i have taken it to the dealership and nothing can be found. Also when backing out and turning the wheel, the car makes a grinding noise.was told nothing can be done about that.
Filed complaint about 3 weeks ago.called chrysler recall center and explained the vehicle problem.chrysler representative confirmed there is a recall on my vehicle, but the parts are not available.they stated they would document the urgency of my repair as the vehicle has failed 2 times in 3 weeks.i expressed my concern over the safety of driving the vehicle, especially with children.i was told the vehicle is safe to drive, but make sure i remove all object from my key ring.i really do not think this was the problem.the second time it had a power failure, the vehicle was almost stopped, ready to make a left hand turn, the road was smooth.how can the parts not be available when it was just released on the news that chrysler ordered the parts even before the recall was announced.also, 32 deaths possibly related to this defect.how can this not be of an urgent matter to have them replaced.i am nervous driving, which i have too in order to get to work, school, shopping. This whole situation is unbelievable to me.i have always bought american made cars, and this is the customer service i receive.i hope chrysler is ready for more lawsuits.its a shame people have to get hurt or even die for action to be taken.
While i was driving a car slowly in the parking lot of the grocery store, it stopped running, shutting it off completely. Had to restart it, but it didn't turn on the timely manner. Pushing the accelerator down a few times, and turned it on again. Http://www.justanswer.com/dodge/4jw86-dodge-caravan-sxt-new-2010-dodge-caravan-sxt-vehicle-will.html: i found the identical case from the website, it must be recalled to fix this issue. Otherwise, it is a life-threatening situation.
Purchased used 2009 dodge grand caravan sxt in 2/2013.vehicle has lost power multiple times at various speeds (5 mph to 35 mph).each time it has been triggered by a "bump"in the road (ie. Small pothole, railroad tracks, etc.sometimes while turning a corner, other times not).each incident has required carefully getting to the side of the road and putting the car in "park" and restarting.have already been to one mechanic who couldn't figure out what was wrong with it.will try a dodge dealer next. I am very disappointed that dodge has not looked further into this issue considering the number of complaints on this site along with the fact that it has recalled the 2010 model for this very reason.also, very sorry that i traded in a 2001 dodge grand caravan for this vehicle.the manufacture date for my vehicle is 12/08.i hope someone will investigate this issue further.having the engine lose power with no warning with two young children in the backseat is absolutely terrifying.clearly, the 2010 dodge grand caravan recall for electrical problems has not included all dodge grand caravans with this problem since there are many complaints listed on this page.
I received an important safety recall notice l25 in may 2015.i contacted alhambra chrysler dodge jeep ram to schedule the repair approximately every three weeks from may 2015.they repeatedly told me that they don't have the part, that they ordered it,and that they will call me when it comes in.it has been 4 months and i'm still getting the same story.my fobiks are not working correctly.starting my car it highly unreliable.
Vehicle ignition shuts off when in use while driving causing dangerous situations especially while in intersections, have had near miss situations due to this problem, chrysler says my vehicle is not included in their really, mine was made three months prior to their recall of ignition switches that were recalled for 2009 model dodge grand caravan's, they do not want to replace my vehicles ignition switch which is doing the same thing that gm cars and recalled caravan's are.
The engine shut down after i hit a bump during a turn, i ran into a ditch and something is broke on the front passenger side. Loud noises coming from tire area. I have already had this happen multiple times and replaced the bearing. But when the engine shuts down every time i hit any significant bump in the road, even when on the highway and i'm being told there isn't anything they will do until the recall is finalized?
Therear heater diverter valve has a large crack in it and while searching i seen many others that had this problem. It should not happen. It causes coolant leaks and overheats.
There is a leak in the heating coolant hose. This makes a toxic smell inside the vehicle while driving.
In february 2015 we were driving our grand caravan minivan when it suddenly shut off and stalled, this occurred four times in two days. We took the car in to local dealer . We have an ignition key recall on this vehicle .we were informed by dealer that dodge is choosing not to repair this model year and we would more than likely have to fight it out with dodge. The dealerwithin 24 hrs said they would fix the van for us gave us new keys and the part was taken care of.on march 25 201 i had yet another occurrence of staling vehicle, contacted dodge .dodge informed me that they did not have a designed new ignition part for my car that the fixthat the dealer made was temporary ,which we were never made aware of, we have received conflicting information from both the dealer as well as dodge. How long must i drive a vehicle which is stalling out with my family in it. Why is it the well fair of my family has no value and dodge can drag their feet coming up with a proper design after three years knowing about a design failure.
2009 dodge grand caravan - dallas, txwhile pulling out of a parking lot into the middle median to merge with traffic the vehicle lost all power. The engine died in the middle of the freeway and the steering and brakes failed to work.the vehicle has had this incident occur 3 times in 2014 each time resulting in the same outcome, engine dies, steering is lost due to no power steering and brakes fail. In each incident i was traveling at the speed limit and resulted in severe loss of control of the vehicle resulting in muscling the vehicle to the side of the road as it coast while quickly throwing the gears in neutral all at highway speeds.these incidents are not isolated to the more than 260 complaints over the last 11 years about general motors vehicles that suddenly turned off while being driven. This is clearly the same issue and will result in more deaths or sever injury if our regulators do not take action.taking the vehicle to the dealer after each incident only resulted in the dealer finding no trouble codes and being unable to duplicate the problem releasing the vehicle back into my care to drive in its impaired condition. Chrysler was contacted on the 3rd loss of power incident and case# [xxx] was opened.this is clearly related to the gm ignition switch recalls evidenced by more than 100+ complaints here:http://www.carcomplaints.com/dodge/grand_caravan/2010/engine/engine_shut_down_while_driving.shtmlhttp://www.safercar.govhttp://www.carcomplaints.com/dodge/caravan/2006/engine/intermittent_loss_of_power_while_driving.shtmlhttp://www.carcomplaints.com/news/2014/chrysler-investigation-ignition-switch.shtmlhttp://www.arfc.org/complaints/2008/dodge/grand_caravan/power_train/problem.aspxinformation redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

We contacted our dealer and they said a bad key problem is separate from the win module detent ring problem. They investigated the problem and said a bad win module is the cause for not starting. My belief is that the loose detent ring caused a failure of the key due to a bad connection for years. I'm also afraid we could be seriously injured before the recall as this is our only vehicle. We called dodge and they said nothing could be done safety wise for us until the recalled part is manufactured. I asked them if they could provide us a rental vehicle until then they said no.so i said you know there's something dangerous and yet there's nothing you can do and we are totally on our own if we get injured, to which they replied "yes".we want to file a complaint against dodge/chrysler for not looking out for our safety.thanks,[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
On multiple occasions while driving without warning van stops no power steering, no brakes engine stops all power is lost. The only code that appears is traction control.
I was driving at about 30 mph on a town road and the car randomly shut off. There was a traction control light that came on. All electrical still worked but no acceleration, power steering or power brakes. I had to slow down, put the car in park and restart the car. What if i was on the high way? what if i was crossing an intersection? my wife drives my 3 children around in this car. This has happened 3 times this past week. Never did it before. And i've already had the ignition switch replaced that dodge sent out a recall for.
In october of 2013 i took my vehicle to my local chrysler dealership explaining to them my car stalls when it comes to an incline in the road i'm talking mere inches,not climbing up gigantic hill. Since october it has continuously stalled out on me, to go so far as to just stopping at a red light. If i put my foot on the brake and began to slow down,the entire vehicle starts shaking and feels as though the tires are trying to grip the road and there is a jumping and jolting sensation. My car cuts off at least once a week since october. I've taken it to the dealership to run a diagnostic, but they can't find anything wrong with it. Of course they're willing to take the entire car apart and charge me for it but i can't afford that! what's happening to my vehicle is from a manufacture defect. I was so happy to see the news article on wed. Com today which is why i'm contacting you.

Pulled onto lemay ferry road from forder road (63129) at the light. As soon as i got onto lemay ferry rd. Going slow in traffic, the engine cut out and died suddenly with no warning.i had no extra keys on with the keyfob and nothing bumped the ignition. There was not a bump in the road.this has happened many times since i bought the vehicle new in 2009 and has been reported repeatedly to chrysler since that time.although there is now a recall, the parts are apparently unavailable and i have been on the list for repair with the dealer since the recall was announced.this is a ridiculous way to handle the safety of the public.obviously, chrysler is not that concerned about us. It also happened at highway speed in the dark last fall when i accidentally did bump the fob while scratching a mosquito bite on my knee. Ridiculous!!!!dangerous!! lawsuits!!!
On at least 3 occasions around 2011, i went over small bumps going into parking lots and a driveway and the engine stopped.it was reported to chrysler then and a dealer looked at it. Since they could not duplicate the problem, nothing was done except someone told me to remove the extra keys from my keychain. It seemed to fix the issue. In the past month, the engine has not been staying on when i start the engine.i have to try it a second to time and it stays on (not all the time but sometimes).then today, i went over a bump going into a parking lot and the same thing happened- the engine stopped.i called chrysler to report the problem again.

While driving approx. 35m/hrin low traffic, van steering wheel stiffened, no warning lights on dash, then abssignal went on and brakes were out.i was able to coast to side street and the van had complete engine shut down.i had 2 children in the car. Thank goodness we were not on the highway and traffic was low.the van restarted and we drove home.called my mechanic who had me get the battery checked out, which is only one year old.we bought a new battery a year ago because occasionally the van will not start right away, was stranded several hours at a baseball game, then it started.had it put on computer at mechanic who cannot find any codes coming up for reason.van has had at least 5 episodes of failing to start on first try. Second time this month, oct. 29,2014. Pulling to turning lane to go down our home street, when again, steering stiffened, i looked at dashboard, abs light came on, brakes out and engine shut off.i knew what was happening so i stopped before turning and restarted van. This is very dangerous.i had my daughter in car.again, thank good ness not on busy street with traffic or highway.i travel a lot with children and i am now afraid that this will happen on the highway and a serious injury or worse will happen. Dodge needs to address this immediately.
When the vehicle is cold, and after i start driving, if i do no have my foot on the accelerator, the engine will just die.when it does, there are no warning lights go on and the steering becomes completely unresponsive. I must quickly put the car in neutral and start it again. It can happen multiple times before the engine warms up.it can just happen going down the road.i have had it to the dealer and another auto repair place and neither can figure out what is wrong. This happens quit often.

Driving 45 mph and vehicle shut off losing power steering and brakes. No check engine light. Pulled over and restarted.happened again twice 2 days later.thought it was bad gas.filled up and added heat.seemed to be ok for about 10 days, but still was running harsh.engine shut off again 5/20 and then again on 5/21.did see briefly a check engine light on one of the occurrences otherwise no clues.had already filled up twice so ruled out gas.took it to mechanic and the only code he could pull up was the egr valve and maybe the spark plugs, but couldn't guarantee that was the cause. Replaced plugs and valve and so far the engine has not shut off and that includes one 1000 mile rt, and two 200 mile rts since then, but i'm still not totally convinced.however after reading about all the complaints about engines shutting off, i thought i better log this for the safety of others and the expense i paid to replace the egr and spark plugs.
Our van keeps running out of oil completely before oil change is due, dealer has already replaced oil pan and rear main seal. Problem still exists and they are saying the rear main seal again. Does not make any sense because there is no oil in parking spot or under vehicle near rear main seal. Online many people report that it is a engine problem and that it is a common issue with the motor... So why are people having to pay for repairs when this motor should be recalled. It is currently at the dealership now being repaired or replacing rear main seal again.
2009 d gr caravan purchased new, have had to have front brakes rotors , shaved , then brakes & rotors replaced,then again rear rotors shaved at 22,000 miles. There definitely is an issue with the brakes on this vehicle. And needs to be address by dodge.also had electrical problems and van cut off on me once going 45 mph , then approx 25 mph, then again at a stop.this is the 1st new car i have ever purchased,not an easy thing for me as i only make $25,000 a yrand i am so frustrated that i promise i will only buy used from now on, if i am going to pay nearly $30,000 for a vehicle , i don't expect to have to have it in the shop 4 + times and to have to shell out a couple hundred dollars every 6 months on it.

The drain for the ac leaks under the passenger side dash. A recall (k25) was issued because the leaking water can affect the air bag control. Chrysler will not cover this vehicle claiming the vin # is not included. The problem and safety concerns are the same and the recall should be extended to cover all affected vehicles.

Extreme toxic hazard caused by failed factory installed heater hose connectors. Full information available. 2000-2010 vans, possibly a large amount of different vehicle involved. There was a problem with the coolant system. The first indication of any problem was a strange odor that occurred at various times, inside the vehicle after being inside for a length of time.i searched for obvious leaks, but there were none.it seemed that chrysler used a molded plastic compression type hose fitting in the assembly process of their coolant system, in some vehicles. The fitting had one flaw, as i have found out, were made to be put together correctly, they are keyed, but, if put together incorrectly, as in this case, it allowed leaking of ethylene glycol coolant to drip onto a 2200 plus exhaust manifold cover, in the vehicle engine compartment, in small droplets, thatbecomes a super-heated vapor, which is drawn into the vehicle ventilation system, when it is in operation...updated 12/17/13 the consumer stated the vehicle stalled while in themidst of driving.the dealer eventually replaced the ignition switch.updated 01/07/16.

Bought vehicle on 12-14-2010(used from a car dealer) vehicle was suppose to have been inspected(72 point check) this van had 34,916 miles on it. Dealer did recalls and warranty work. We complained about the tire "light" going on & off. Was advised that nothing was wrong with the monitor, that the tires just needed a little air for the higher altitude. They over filled tires. Tire light came on again. This time we were advise, by a tire dealer, that the valves(monitors) were cracked & leaking air. Also the engine light came on and stayed on until we got to the dealer, he said to turn off the motor and restart the engine. This time it went off.after reading the complaints about engine lights, we are scared that the dealers are again lying to us. We do not want to end up with the vehicle just stopping on us on the highway, infront of an 18 wheeler!this engine light problem has occurred to others and their transmission just quit.we believe that these dealers, are in denial. Why did the dealer tell my husband just to turn off the vehicle without using a code to find out what the problem is?we have had the vehicle in 2 times about the 'low tire" light & each time they just blew it off as needing air!it was an independent tire person who actually examined the tire to find the cracked valve-he did not have any thing to gain, as the valve stem was returned again to the dealer. When we looked back at the repair tickets (2) we noticed that our reporting of the tire light being on was not even on either of the repair tickets!btw: our 1999 dodge ram 1500 truck has the irregular & accelerated idle as well as the "out of no where" acceleration, which we found many complaints on the internet. We copied dozens of these complaints off the internet, as well as their solutions/fixes and gave the stack of paperwork to the dealer.(we had been back to the dealers dozens of times previously) as the problem kept coming back. The internet repairs it worked. We hope these can be 2.
2009 grand caravan.consumer writes in regards torear brake pads issue and seeks reimbursement for repairs.the consumer stated on june 29, 2009, the check engine light illuminated, due to an evaporative emissions leak. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where a 23 point inspection was performed. An inspection revealed the rear brakes were worn down to 3mm and were sticking. The dealer informed the consumer the rear brake pads sticking to the caliper brackets was his fault. The consumer believed the problem was due to a manufacturing defect.the consumer stated since chrysler paid for the replacement of the brackets, he believed they were admitting fault. The brackets caused the pads to stick, wearing them down and making the rotors too thin to be resurfaced. The consumer is seeking reimbursement of $ 507.73

The vehicle was struck by lightning july 2014 when it was parked under a tree during a bad storm.it eventually was declared a total loss by progressive insurance after they attempted several times to have all the electrical components repaired.several times they repaired it and put me back into the dangerous vehicle which was accelerating on its own and several times would not brake.i insisted they declare it a total loss before something terrible would happen.they finally agreed in october 2014.however, my concern is that i was told the vehicle was sold at auction and that puts someone else in danger. The vehicle should not of been handed over to someone else.
Windshield wipers turn on and off erratically.headlights turn on and off erratically.gauges don't work, can't open or close side and rear door.this is due to the tipm not functioning properly
Instrumental cluster lights turn on, all dial indicators go to 0, wipers turn twice, outside lights turn on and then off, and warning beeps inside. Can repeat different frequency time, but usually every few seconds. Some warning lights remain on, especially brake warnings and airbag. 2 dealers reviewed and recognized issue but stated did not know what to do. Rarely, after start-up only brake light and airbag warnings stay on and no other light issue. First dealer replaced instrument cluster and improved by no left dial issue, but warning lights still occur. All warning lights, center dial, and right dial, lights, and wiper issues still occur. Dealer checked and noted programming issue but informed nothing can do. Now occurs more often. All brake warning lights now always show after beginning to drive. Then all other warning lights, and so on, begin as noted. Recorded and attached. Frequency has increased. If i turn outside lights on, lights will not turn off when issue occurs but turn signal still stops when i have them on. Other drivers then do not know if iam turning. Airbag, brake, fuel lights, wipers, and outside lights worry me since everything shows warning or stops while driving, as frequent as every few seconds during entire drive. Is one of the issues real or are they all pretend due to the vehicle issue? occurs all speeds, temperatures, and so on.
I recently experienced an uncontrolled acceleration of my 2009 dodge grand caravan.i passed a truck that was traveling at about 35 mph.when i attempted to resume an appropriate speed by releasing the accelerator i realized that the vehicle was continuing to accelerate.i applied the brake to little effect and eventually regained control of the vehicle by shutting the ignition off.when i brought the vehicle to a dodge dealer i was told that this was common and all it required was routine maintance.dodge did not see this as a safety issue and charged me for the service despite the fact that the vehicle was still under warranty.*ln
My van stalls when decelerating from highway speed to off ramp yield. I have taken to mechanics and dealer and spent too much money on not getting the problem fixed.i did some researched and noticed on the forums that this is an existing problem that has not resulting in a vehicle recall .the problem looks like it has to do with the tipm fuel relay.my van only has 142,000 miles on it , this is obviously a safety issue and should be handled by the auto maker, not having customers spend needless money on dealer recommended fixes that do not fix the problem.i just spent over 700 to have dealer recommended repairs of throttle body service and tune up and this did not resolve the issue.why is it that as a consumer i need to do my own diagnosis when problem happened just this past weekend after dealer recommended solutions did not fix the problem! now my son is leaving in 3 days for school with the vehicle and i need to find a repair shop to try to fix the problem instead of you as the car company taking responsibility for a known issue.
While i was driving a car slowly in the parking lot of the grocery store, it stopped running, shutting it off completely. Had to restart it, but it didn't turn on the timely manner. Pushing the accelerator down a few times, and turned it on again. Http://www.justanswer.com/dodge/4jw86-dodge-caravan-sxt-new-2010-dodge-caravan-sxt-vehicle-will.html: i found the identical case from the website, it must be recalled to fix this issue. Otherwise, it is a life-threatening situation.
Was driving when vehicle died,fuel gauge informed me that tank was 1/2 full and lost all power was left stranded do too no gas.
Vehicle stalled on toll road and bypass. It finally died and i had to have it towed. Fuel pump was replaced twice. First time was $600.00. Second time, mechanic did it for free. Mechanic believes that it's the tipm or totally integrated power module.
Was parking under a tree about 6-8 feet from tree when still having foot on brake the car accelerated and slammed into the tree.air bags did not deplore.
Vehicle while both driving on road and in park stalls. It givens no notice or warning that this is going to happen. At least 10 times i have noticed that the ignition switch has "moved" from the "run" position to "accessory," by itself. I have taken it to 3 different dealers but each has said they couldn't find an issue no codes have been coming up in the computer.i even had it stall in the dealer when i picked it up yet they have not done anything to fix the problem. When it stalls the steering wheel is extremely hard to move. I have 3 small children in the car when it stalls on main roads it is very frightening and dangerous trying to control the car, put it into neutral or park and get it to start or try to get to a safe place to restart it! i have contacted chrysler-dodge customer service, service managers etc all to no avail.i asked the dealer service managers if there was any recall and they told me there wasn't any....i see on nhtsa website there is one but it is for 2010 and up but the 2009 vehicles also have the same stall problem!report receipt date: mar 01, 2011 nhtsa campaign number: 11v139000 component(s): electrical system

When the ignition switch is turned the car will not start. I have to turn the key over 15 times in order for the van to catch and start, the problem is becoming more frequent. Also, when the dvd player is in the up position all of the warning lights come on in the dash the windshield wipers cut on and none of the dials work on the speed, gas and thermostat indicators. The dvd problems occur when the vehicle is parked and on the road operating. The ignition problem is when you go to start the vehicle.
While driving at speed of 40 on straight road engine suddenly stalls out causing steering to fail creating need for sudden stop before total loss of control.happens with warning.this is the 3rd time in 3 months this has happened.called dodge dealer and chrysler corporate and they say there is a recall that is similar for the ignition switch, but no part available and no estimate when.they advise using fob without keys attached.this last occurrence occurred with no keys attached, only the fobin the ignition, so their work around does not work.note the only way we even know it has stalled it the sudden loss of steering, until we can get it stopped and realize the engine is not running.there is no other warning its about to happen.time between the three occurrences wereearly dec 2014 for first occurrence, 1 week later for second occurrence, 2.5 months later for 3rd occurrence.a fix is needed immediately for this and it seems this "recall without a fix" is just sitting there indefinitely.

When i put my van in reverse 3 different times this past weekend, and in the process of backing up slowly it shut off. Twice i was backing out of my driveway, & it shut off in the town road. I had to restart it and continue backing up. Another time i was turning out of a plaza, where i had to turn, and when i backed up it shut off in the middle of a town road. Traffic stopped, for me to restart it and back up. On tuesday 10/23/18, i tried backing it out of my driveway to bring it for service. The rpm's went high, it wasn't moving, and was shaking. I shut if it off and had it towed to the garage. The cause of the problem is unknown. It is a big safety issue, and i didn't see any recalls for it online, and there should be a recall for the unsafe condition!i saw hundreds of similar complaints for dodge caravans shutting off.
The vehicle was parked on an incline, facing up, and put in park.the driver exited the vehicle and then reached back in to turn off and remove the keys.the vehicle started to roll back down the drive, hitting two other vehicles before the driver, who was hit by the open door, could get back in the vehicle and apply the brakes.it is unknown why the keys would have come out if the car was not in park, or why the car would switch from park to reverse without the keys in or a foot on the brake.
My husband was driving the van on dirt roads and then he heard a clunk, after taking it to the garage it was found that the axle had cracked and broke.we had to have it replaced.
While driving i felt and also heard a clunk, then my check engine light came on.while driving it felt like my car was stuck in 1st gear (it has an automatic/manual trans).we then realized the manual was not working, and everytime we put it in drive there is a clunking noise.now as we are driving it sounds like it is stuck in 1st gear like the manual went out and the car thinks it is stuck, the engine revs the rpm's go up and the automatic kicks in but it does not shift right and the engine does not stop revving. Since i had this car i have replaced the brakes twice, the battery, the window module, the whole ac.this car is costing more then it is worth and chrysler will not help with any of it.the window module transmission and ac should not have gone out so early.
From the day i purchased this vehicle i have complained to chrysler multiple times about the transmission slipping. It seems to slip within the first 15 minutes of the caravan being started. It seems to do it when the vehicle has been recently started, when it is shifting between 1st to 2nd gears or 2nd to 3rd gears (not exactly sure what gear it's in when it's making the shift) and it usually always happens when the vehicle is making a turn at a lower speed. The service rep. At the dealership said a lot of vehicles have this transmission and they all seem to have the same issue. He even told me his wife drove a dodge grand caravan and that transmission slipped as well. He also stated that it would be an expensive repair for chrysler to fix and he stated that if it's not actually broken, then they won't fix it.recently i was told that my lifetime powertrain warranty had expired because i did not have the transmission inspected within a 90 day period from it's 5 year date of purchase. I was never told that i had to have it inspected, the warranty department at chrysler said it was in my handbook...so i looked it up and it was. I was told it was a lifetime warranty and that's it. They also told me the multiple times i brought the vehicle in for the transmission to be inspected...those inspections did not count as a qualified inspection for the warranty!!! that does not make much sense to me!

When i was driving the engine completely stalled and power steering gone. This happened 3 times in different occasions. I managed to steer to the roadside, put vehicle in park and start again. Yesterday after driving for couple hours i stopped at the store and wen i got back the car didn't start no crank, no sound ( all the dash lights on, full battery) call toll truck.... Waiting for toll truck arrive, start looking on line for the problem.... Lots a people have the same problem... I did fallow recommendations and try shifting from p to n couple times and turn key on and off. Then suddenly the car started again... Cancel toll truck... But no solutions, no checking light on... Nothing.. Just waiting for this happening again....
Keep having issues with transmission while driving with my children in the car.
The contact owns a 2009 dodge grand caravan. The contact stated that the engine stalled without warning while driving at 45 mph. The contact was able to restart the engine; however, the contact was unable to shift the gear into drive. The vehicle was towed to the contact's residence. The vehicle was not repaired.the contact mentioned that nhtsa campaign number 14v373000 (air bags, electrical system) was received. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 80,000.
My van was bought new by me and has around 51,111 miles on it. About a month ago transmission started leaking out of it. The transmission is completely sealed, no way to check it's level or change transmission fluid. The old 1/4 inch tube that usually would hold the dip stick is much shorter (about a foot) than a normal transmission dip stick.it took me awhile to find it. It is one of two transmission lines going from the transmission and going to the radiator and the leak is in the back of the engine where you can't get to it without dropping the transmission...dodge has a 100,000 warranty on the transmission and engine but this line is outside the transmission so they claim it's not part of their warranty... Regardless the tubing they use has to be defective because most people have driven 100,000's miles without having this non-moving part to fail.i have their extended warranty but they claim it's not covered.so how does it get reported. I had to pay over $500 for the wiring harness in my automatic sliding doors that obviously the lower arm on the door kept rubbing and rubbing until it frayed the plastic coveringcausing my wiring harness to break but when i bought it in their was no recall yet so i had to pay for the repair myself and then around 6 months later i had to pay for the repair which i haven't got i.

Our van keeps running out of oil completely before oil change is due, dealer has already replaced oil pan and rear main seal. Problem still exists and they are saying the rear main seal again. Does not make any sense because there is no oil in parking spot or under vehicle near rear main seal. Online many people report that it is a engine problem and that it is a common issue with the motor... So why are people having to pay for repairs when this motor should be recalled. It is currently at the dealership now being repaired or replacing rear main seal again.
The events leading up to the failure = while vehicle in motion engine lost complete power and died on street---the failure how often it occurs =one time--- its consequences = towed to dealer for repairs---additional problems with the vehicle = 1-while dodge caravan was in motion'on the street'dodge caravan engine power was totally lost'dodge caravan came to a stop while holding the brake pedal down very hard!2-transmission shift lever stuck in park with engine running - i could not move gearshift lever to drive- i had to turn off ignition and start engine again.3-intermittent electrical operation of left and right sliding doors to open or close.4-intermittent transmission jumps and a clunk noise at approximately 21 miles per hour speed. *(on 04-06-2010 vehicle bought in for same problem).5-security system head and taillights do-not flash when car is armed or unarmed.6-intermittent low tire pressure light symbol intermittently goes on/off or stays on.7-engine idles high.8-very low gas mileage.

We purchased this vehicle in early february 2009. Two weeks later, the "check engine" light came on. The vehicle was taken to the dealership and they could not find the problem. It has been back tot he dealership 2 more times for the exact same problem and they have not been able to find the source of the problem and the vehicle was returned to us. The evening of april 3rd, we were returning home on the freeway and the transmission completely failed and almost caused us to be involved in an accident on the freeway.
When moving the cvt transmission, dash mounted gear shift lever from reverse to drive the gear shift lever assembly fell apart.the handle fell to the floor, as did the button and the internal spring.this occurred today 8/12/2010 for the first and only time (so far).i managed to re-assemble the spring, button and lever upholstered grip onto the lever itself but i have no idea what is supposed to keep it in place.i found no screw on the floor of the vehicle.it will require servicing to repair at a dealership.in the meanwhile i guess i will have to just use the lever itself but i have concerns about that because i now have a pointed piece of metal sticking out of my dash.i have not driven the vehicle since the incident.
While driving i felt and also heard a clunk, then my check engine light came on.while driving it felt like my car was stuck in 1st gear (it has an automatic/manual trans).we then realized the manual was not working, and everytime we put it in drive there is a clunking noise.now as we are driving it sounds like it is stuck in 1st gear like the manual went out and the car thinks it is stuck, the engine revs the rpm's go up and the automatic kicks in but it does not shift right and the engine does not stop revving. Since i had this car i have replaced the brakes twice, the battery, the window module, the whole ac.this car is costing more then it is worth and chrysler will not help with any of it.the window module transmission and ac should not have gone out so early.

The contact owns a 2009 dodge grand caravan. The contact stated the seat belt warning light erroneously illuminated when the seat belt was engaged and did not warn the contact when the seat belt was not in use. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer and the dealer could not diagnose the defect. The dealer performed software updates to the vehicle but none remedied the defect. The failure mileage was 126,000.
Seatbelt locked up.
We have had several problems with all the seatbelts in our dodge minivan prior to the date of this incident but until now we had only seen them as aggravations. The seatbelts tend to tighten slightly and when trying to loosen them they will lock up and have to be unbuckled to reset them. Sometimes they will still remain locked up even when the seatbelt is unbuckled. Sometimes jerking the belt several times will finally release it. On august 19, 2011, our 10 year old child got caught in this faulty seatbelt. On a long out of town trip, the cross belt was behind the headrest and the lap belt had become tightened. As he struggled with the seatbelt, it got tighter. All this was during transit. We stopped and he unbuckled the seatbelt but that only made it tighter. He is a thin boy but it was obvious he had his gut sucked in and the belt was pushing under his ribs. The car was parked and shut off. We struggled with it a few minutes trying to get it to release but it was apparent our child was in distress. We were just about to cut the belt when we decided to lay the seat as far back as possible and had our child do a somersault out of the lap belt. Our child had bruises on his stomach and side and was shaken up and sore. What would be the outcome if he had been trapped during a car accident/fire?
The engine shut down after i hit a bump during a turn, i ran into a ditch and something is broke on the front passenger side. Loud noises coming from tire area. I have already had this happen multiple times and replaced the bearing. But when the engine shuts down every time i hit any significant bump in the road, even when on the highway and i'm being told there isn't anything they will do until the recall is finalized?
Airbag light came on when started vehicle and never turned off. Took it in to dealer and was told it was my battery causing the light. Replaced the battery and they re-did the diagnostic and they told me the orc module is bad due to the battery. They said my battery was charging to 1000 volts and was only supposed to be 800volts. So now i am stuck with a bill for $631. I was told that the same year model had a recall for this reason and mine didn't qualify because it was made 23 days after the recal notice s07. The van is in the shop currently waiting on the part.
The contact owns a 2009 dodge grand caravan.the third row seat had buttons to fold it down. The buttons were very easy to touch , so the children can easily fold down the seats. There was no stop button, so the seats would keep folding. The seat almost "crushed" her child seat. She had not contacted the dealer or the manufacturer . The current mileage was 12,899. The failure mileage was approximately 4,000.
The contact owns a 2009 dodge grand caravan. While driving at various speeds the brake pedal was applied and was slow to respond. There was an abnormal squealing noise detected. The parking brake, tpms, and traction control warning lights were illuminated. The contact also stated that the sliding door detached from trim. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who stated the brakes needed to be replaced. The local dealer and manufacturer were not contacted. The failure mileage was 221,000.
My grand caravan has 121,000 miles on it. I am having the rear calipers replaced for the third time. (at 68k miles, 98k miles, now 121k miles). Each time the calipers have seized up.
Traveling down a street,the esp and traction warning lights came on.checked the owners manual, it states not to drive over 30 mph when that occurs if the lamps cannot be reset.reset lamps, lamps came back on, speed was reduced to 30 mph and after traveling a short distance, without touching the brake pedal, the brakes on both front wheels applied and brought the vehicle to a complete stop in the middle of the street in traffic. The brakes would not release until the motor was shut off and restarted. We were not hit by other vehicles, but it could have been very tragic. We were told by the dealer that failure of the steering angle sensor in the steering column will cause the brakes to engage and stop the vehicle.the cost for replacing the failed sensor and realigning the system was $712.45.
My van turns off while driving it numerous times since this date. It also wont start at times and i am stranded anywhere from five to 30 minutes.power steering gets stuck sometimes and when braking at high speeds the whole car shakes.
While driving approx. 35m/hrin low traffic, van steering wheel stiffened, no warning lights on dash, then abssignal went on and brakes were out.i was able to coast to side street and the van had complete engine shut down.i had 2 children in the car. Thank goodness we were not on the highway and traffic was low.the van restarted and we drove home.called my mechanic who had me get the battery checked out, which is only one year old.we bought a new battery a year ago because occasionally the van will not start right away, was stranded several hours at a baseball game, then it started.had it put on computer at mechanic who cannot find any codes coming up for reason.van has had at least 5 episodes of failing to start on first try. Second time this month, oct. 29,2014. Pulling to turning lane to go down our home street, when again, steering stiffened, i looked at dashboard, abs light came on, brakes out and engine shut off.i knew what was happening so i stopped before turning and restarted van. This is very dangerous.i had my daughter in car.again, thank good ness not on busy street with traffic or highway.i travel a lot with children and i am now afraid that this will happen on the highway and a serious injury or worse will happen. Dodge needs to address this immediately.
At approximately 15000 miles the drivers side rear brake pads had worn out to metal to metal contact.the dealer replaced pads and rotors at no charge,now at 33000 miles, again, the drivers side pads are worn (outside pad) to point of needing replaced.the wheel becomes extremely hot due to the brakes dragging. Afraid tire will blow out due to extreme heat melting the bead.
I was driving at about 30 mph on a town road and the car randomly shut off. There was a traction control light that came on. All electrical still worked but no acceleration, power steering or power brakes. I had to slow down, put the car in park and restart the car. What if i was on the high way? what if i was crossing an intersection? my wife drives my 3 children around in this car. This has happened 3 times this past week. Never did it before. And i've already had the ignition switch replaced that dodge sent out a recall for.
Driving 45 mph and vehicle shut off losing power steering and brakes. No check engine light. Pulled over and restarted.happened again twice 2 days later.thought it was bad gas.filled up and added heat.seemed to be ok for about 10 days, but still was running harsh.engine shut off again 5/20 and then again on 5/21.did see briefly a check engine light on one of the occurrences otherwise no clues.had already filled up twice so ruled out gas.took it to mechanic and the only code he could pull up was the egr valve and maybe the spark plugs, but couldn't guarantee that was the cause. Replaced plugs and valve and so far the engine has not shut off and that includes one 1000 mile rt, and two 200 mile rts since then, but i'm still not totally convinced.however after reading about all the complaints about engines shutting off, i thought i better log this for the safety of others and the expense i paid to replace the egr and spark plugs.
My vehicle turned off as i was driving causing me to almost be involved in an accident.this was not the first time my van has done this.it is caused by the faulty ignition switch issue sited in the l25 recall.i no longer feel safe driving my van alone or using it to transport my 4 children.i am seeking a loaner vehicle from chrysler until mine is fixed.
The contact owns a 2009 dodge grand caravan. While driving at 65 mph, the brake pedal was depressed and the entire front end of the vehicle began to shake abnormally. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and independent mechanic but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was 144,021.
Upon driving i notice the brakes seems to be stickingand or calipers seizing while driving and also changing the brakes /rotors much sooner than supposed to also bad mpg all this was happening between 18 k miles 25 k miles and 38 k and currently47 k miles please this is a design flaw from calipers sticking and braking the vehicle while drivingand eating the pads prematurely the concerned customer will wait for a response backthe local dodge dealerwill not take things serious until they will have fatality es thanks much.
Front brakes stick. Have replaced pads, hoses and calipers to no avail.
The contact owns a 2009 dodge grand caravan. While driving with the cruise control activated, the contact depressed the brake pedal and the brakes failed. The contact depressed the brake pedal once more and the vehicle began to decelerate. The failure recurred. The contact also stated that while driving approximately 60 mph, the brake pedal was depressed with force, but the brakes failed to respond. The contact heard a loud abnormal noise from the engine and the brake warning light illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failures. The approximate failure mileage was 70,000.
While driving on the fwy my van turned off. It was after driving over a part of the freeway that seemed to have a dip. My gauges went to "0" & i felt a loss of power. I turned the key fob in the ignition & it seemed to start back up. The gauges went to the max and all warning lights flashed red as my car does when i initially start it. On 8/11/14 i was exiting a driveway, the same thing happened crossing a 2 lane road. I didn't turn the key fob this time as my van turned off & then back on by itself. I dropped my van off to have it checked out, but they didn't find a recall on anything with the ignition or engine turning off. I looked up the info & found recall code l25 describing exactly what was happening. I spoke to a rep named crystal at the recall phone number given & she confirmed my vehicle will be included in the recall & notices will be going out as they just updated the notice this morning. Since the recall was just updated, i have to pay for the inspection on the wireless ignition node, keep all work orders & receipts, wait for the recall notice & get reimbursed because this is dangerous. I have to borrow the $ as i cannot run the risk of driving my 3 kids around & have an accident. I am also having a problem with my engine running hard, sounding like marbles are rattling against metal as i accelerate & it making a glug glug sound & running hard. I just paid $412 to replace my calipers & brake pads as they were not releasing & caused the brake pads to crumble (replaced 2 weeks prior) & as i was braking it sounded like metal scraping against metal. This was due to the friction and heat from the calipers not releasing. Luckily my rotors weren't warped (also brand new & placed 2 weeks prior).my vehicle has 57,576 miles & i keep up the maintenance on it as well.. This is very concerning. Never had issues like this on a vehicle with less than 100,000 miles.
Rear brakes are not releasing completely causing the brakes, rotor, bearing, and wheel to become super-heated.driver's side is the most significant issue.the brakes make a screeching sound, smoke and smell of burnt rubber come from wheels.if water is poured on the wheels, it vaporizes immediately.it does not do this with every trip, but is becoming more frequent.driver's rear caliper has been replaced twice and brake line once with no improvement.brakes on driver's side only last 11,000 miles.have contacted local dealer, but doesn't acknowledge that they've heard of this issue before.i see many examples searching this site and other sites.this is a major safety issue.vehicle now has 71,000 miles.
2009 dodge grand caravan - dallas, txwhile pulling out of a parking lot into the middle median to merge with traffic the vehicle lost all power. The engine died in the middle of the freeway and the steering and brakes failed to work.the vehicle has had this incident occur 3 times in 2014 each time resulting in the same outcome, engine dies, steering is lost due to no power steering and brakes fail. In each incident i was traveling at the speed limit and resulted in severe loss of control of the vehicle resulting in muscling the vehicle to the side of the road as it coast while quickly throwing the gears in neutral all at highway speeds.these incidents are not isolated to the more than 260 complaints over the last 11 years about general motors vehicles that suddenly turned off while being driven. This is clearly the same issue and will result in more deaths or sever injury if our regulators do not take action.taking the vehicle to the dealer after each incident only resulted in the dealer finding no trouble codes and being unable to duplicate the problem releasing the vehicle back into my care to drive in its impaired condition. Chrysler was contacted on the 3rd loss of power incident and case# [xxx] was opened.this is clearly related to the gm ignition switch recalls evidenced by more than 100+ complaints here:http://www.carcomplaints.com/dodge/grand_caravan/2010/engine/engine_shut_down_while_driving.shtmlhttp://www.safercar.govhttp://www.carcomplaints.com/dodge/caravan/2006/engine/intermittent_loss_of_power_while_driving.shtmlhttp://www.carcomplaints.com/news/2014/chrysler-investigation-ignition-switch.shtmlhttp://www.arfc.org/complaints/2008/dodge/grand_caravan/power_train/problem.aspxinformation redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
The contact owns a 2009 dodge grand caravan. While driving approximately 20 mph, the vehicle shut off and the warning lights on the instrument panel illuminated. The failure recurred multiple times. The vehicle was taken to a dealer for diagnostic testing. The technician stated that the abs needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 14v373000 (air bags, electrical system); however, the parts needed were unavailable to perform the repairs. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall remedy. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.
The contact owns a 2009 dodge grand caravan. While driving 25 mph, the vehicle stalled. In addition, the vehicle failed to stop when the brake pedal was depressed and crashed into a pole. The air bags failed to deploy. The contact did not sustain any injuries and a police report was not filed. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The vin was included in nhtsa campaign number: 14v373000 (air bags, electrical system). The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 100,000.
The entire vehicle shook when the brakes were applied as if there was a blowout of a tire.
On multiple occasions while driving, the vehicle decelerated on its own, while also losing all ability to steer or brake. All power control to steering, braking and maneuvering was lost, although the engine did not appear to shut off. The first incident caused my wife to end up in a ditch with the children in the car. Chrysler and their dealerships will not say this is related to the nhtsa campaign # 14v373000/ chrysler l25 recall because the engine did not appear to shut off. Whether part of the recall or not, these problems are serious safety issues for my family and others on the road. Additionally, chrysler does not have parts available for the recall and were not able to provide an availability eta for replacement parts. I was also told by chrysler that i have been notified of the recall, and as such, they hold no liability for me driving the vehicle until replacement parts available.

In addition, when the brake pedal was depressed, the front of the vehicle shook. The failure mileage was 120,000.
This van eats brakes. I have had to have numerous repairs to my braking system done approximately every 25,000 miles at great cost. Brake calipers freeze up, rotors warp and pads wear out from hanging up. Brakes then become difficult to modulate and vibration caused by attempting to stop from interstate speeds make vehicle control difficult.
The contact owns a 2009 dodge grand caravan. While driving approximately 25 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. As a result, the brakes seized and the contact crashed into the preceding vehicle. The air bags failed to deploy and the contact 's head impacted the steering wheel. The contact sustained a concussion, sprained neck, and bruises to the feet, ankles, and toes that required medical attention. The vehicle was towed to the dealer and repaired. In addition, the contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 14v373000 (air bags, electrical system). The approximate failure mileage was 60,000.
I was driving down the road on a shallow left-hand curve when i turned the steeringwheel to the right, coming out of the curve, all the sudden the left front brake (lfb) began to chatter as though the lfb abs was engaging.the esp bas and the traction control lights came on.the van violently swerved towards the oncoming lane.luckly, there was no traffic come at me.i was able to over correct with the steering and regain control.i took the van to a local shop which diagnosed the steering position sensor inside the air bag clockspring to be bad.it was replaced and the problem went away.i feel this is very dangerous problem and should be addressed with a recall before someone is killed!
I have had to replace the brakes four times in about two years.
Brought new in 09, front rotors cut due to severe vibrations..was told i was not driving enough (never heard that before)1,700 miles., bad vibration again in front ..rotors cut front and rear. Took car to dealer for oil change and was told front brakes and rear brakes as well as rotors needed replacing 12852 miles, told by dealer this is normal wear and tear!!!. I started doing my own brakes as i could not afford the dealer anymore and they refuse to address the issue. I have been changing the brakes every other oil change, this is crazy. I have owned numerous cars over the years and have never had to do this. I finally took the car to the dealer as the rear drivers side caliper was burning up and was told to my surprise they said the front calipers were seized, they said the front controls the rear. They changed them and i put new rotors and brakes all around. Rear drivers side burning up hot and brakes almost to metal, took to dealer again and was told rear calipers needed replacing. They changed both rear calipers and i had the rear brakes replace again. Rear drivers side caliper started sticking again burning hot and brakes worn almost to metal again, they replaced and i went online and found many people with the same problem 08-12 caravan and none of them got any satisfaction from the dealer or dodge. I told the tech about the complaints and all he could say is "if its broken we will fix, and thats all he can do" with no further explanation. I really dont know what to do anymore van has 62,000 miles and i really don't want my wife driving this van anymore with the kids, i feel it's so unsafe and has been a money pit.
Multiple problems. Worst first. High oil consumption, maintain vehicle faithfully. At approx. 70 k miles the engine oil light popped on. Checked oil. Was not registering on stick. Over three qts low! engine continues to use 3-4 qts between oil changes (3000 miles). Van is on its third set of brakes. Tires have to be rotated very often because the front ruins tires quickly. Have had to replace the key fob twice. Both times it has left us stranded with no warning. Van is now in the shop for bad motor mounts. Gauge cluster has been replaced once. Heater hose "y" connection blew apart while on vacation at approx. 75k miles. (engine did not overheat). Van is on its third or fourth battery. Power sliding doors continually have problems closing. Power steering pump whines since 15k miles. Van currently has 91k miles.
On multiple occasions while driving without warning van stops no power steering, no brakes engine stops all power is lost. The only code that appears is traction control.
Exited highway (70 mph) then drove 55 mph for 3 miles to our home.noticed heavy brake burning smell that stayed with me until arrived at home.noticed smoke coming from driver side rear wheel/brake assembly.husband(ex-ase master tech) came out to inspect and noticed all other brakes seemed ok in temp but left rear was extremely hot, smoking and rotor was discolored from over heat(black/blue).no metal on metal van was just in less than 1000 miles and dealer replaced front pads, rotors under tsb with $100 deductible.i was told at this time that rears had approx 20% pad left.way to soon for rear brakes to wear out (before 36k miles?)took van into rochester hills chrysler dodge and they stated issue was left rear brake pad stuck in slides causing overheat.they stated that the brake bracket/clip/pads clearance is too tight and doesn't take much corrosion or brake dust collecting to cause sticking pads.i am aware of a new chrysler brake bracket design for these vans and that they are on national backorder at the time of this report and that the redesign has additional clearance to eliminate this problem.but instead i was charged $174.80 for new pads and turn both rotors.i fear that this issue will happen again and wonder if it will be worse next time (pad/brake fire, brake/wheel lock up or possible loss of control).this is not safe especially on a vehicle that is primarily used to transport kids, people etc.lots of families out there with these.please help!thank you.
The contact owns a 2009 dodge grand caravan. The contact stated that while driving approximately 45 mph he applied the brakes and the brake pedal began to pulsate. The steering wheel also began to shake during the failure. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where the contact was informed that both front rotors were warped. The rotors were replaced. Approximately eight months later the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken to another authorized dealer where the contact was informed that the brakes exhibited an acceptable amount of rust but did not need to be repaired. Approximately four months later the vehicle was taken back to the dealer where the contact was advised to replace the rear rotors. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, but offered no assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 9,800 and the current mileage was 23,000.
On 6/27/2010 my family and myself were traveling to hackensack mn on hwy 371 and when i attempted to pass a slow moving vehicle my mini vankept increasing in speed.no injuries happened i calmly got it to stop but i had to pull off to the side of the road and shut off the engine.the cruise was on but not activated. I tried to hit the cancel switch hit the on off switch all the time pushing the brake pedal.the skid protection light and brake light came on and the brakes heated up really bad but i was able to stop.the engine would not stop racing and the lights would not go out until i shut down the engine on the side of the road.we then continued our trip with no more incidents and i did try to get it to happen again with no luck.
Had to replace pads and rotors on 2009 dodge grand caravan.total mileage on vehicle was 23,500 miles.firestone, where work was done, told me that they had used cheap parts during manufacture.spoke to an acquaintance who also has the same type of vehicle and he had to replace his pads and rotors also at about the same mileage.think this is a safety issue because of people continuing to drive because they expect 30k or more just out of the pads and the fact that this has happened to 2 out 2 owners of dodge caravans.
They had to replace the front brakes at 32,000 miles and now the rear brakes at 34,900. I have had multiple chrysler vans and never had to replace the brakes even after 60,000 miles or more.
2009 dodge grand caravan began shaking as i would brake from speeds anywhere from 40-100 miles per hour (i live in germany).at 15,000 miles we took the car to the dealership and they determined that the front rotors are warped.the odd thing is that the rotors went out before the brakes did. The dealer said due to a design flaw in the grand caravan, the front retains a lot of heat and will warp the rotors on a regular basis.we were told to expect this repair every 15,000 miles or so.
The events leading up to the failure = while vehicle in motion engine lost complete power and died on street---the failure how often it occurs =one time--- its consequences = towed to dealer for repairs---additional problems with the vehicle = 1-while dodge caravan was in motion'on the street'dodge caravan engine power was totally lost'dodge caravan came to a stop while holding the brake pedal down very hard!2-transmission shift lever stuck in park with engine running - i could not move gearshift lever to drive- i had to turn off ignition and start engine again.3-intermittent electrical operation of left and right sliding doors to open or close.4-intermittent transmission jumps and a clunk noise at approximately 21 miles per hour speed. *(on 04-06-2010 vehicle bought in for same problem).5-security system head and taillights do-not flash when car is armed or unarmed.6-intermittent low tire pressure light symbol intermittently goes on/off or stays on.7-engine idles high.8-very low gas mileage. Approximately 12 miles city and 14 miles highway per 18 gallon tank = approximately 240 miles per tank-----vehicle id [xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
2009 dodge grand caravan rear brakes failure at 28,500 miles.. Went in for oil change at 24k was told brakes were getting low. At 28,5k i was told brakes were close to metal to metal. An extended warranty was issued for front brakes, i was told by chrysler that 15k to 20k was normal wear and life expectancy for the rear brakes on this vehicle. I refused repair and vehicle is sitting in my yard not being used. I was told also by chrysler that unless more info was sent to them supporting that the issue was not normal wear chrysler would be denying my claim and would not be offering any assistance on those issues.
Replaced front rotors and break pads at 23k, vibrating somewhat.dealer at that point said back brake pads wearing down, will soon need to replace and shave back rotors.at 26k, shaking on drivers wheel,vibrating badly when breaking was dangerous. Needed back brake pads and new rotors, rotors were warped. My 4th new caravan in 2 decades was a real disappointment!although, the extended warranty for the front brakes were only $50 and now the back brakes $120 deductible is not alot, i shouldn't be paying to replace until 4-5 years or 40k-50k miles like our last 8 cars!i guess it's better then transmission trouble at 50k on my 1st caravan.
The van had squealing noise (at times) while driving. Then we noticed the strong smell of the brakes,like you are going down a steep hill,the burning smell.must be the brake caliper sticking...so i took it to the dealer(where i bought it new) and was told that i needed new brake pad,new rotors at a cost of $777.00. The van only had 38,282 miles on it.
2009 grand caravan.consumer writes in regards torear brake pads issue and seeks reimbursement for repairs.the consumer stated on june 29, 2009, the check engine light illuminated, due to an evaporative emissions leak. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where a 23 point inspection was performed. An inspection revealed the rear brakes were worn down to 3mm and were sticking. The dealer informed the consumer the rear brake pads sticking to the caliper brackets was his fault. The consumer believed the problem was due to a manufacturing defect.the consumer stated since chrysler paid for the replacement of the brackets, he believed they were admitting fault. The brackets caused the pads to stick, wearing them down and making the rotors too thin to be resurfaced. The consumer is seeking reimbursement of $ 507.73
Vehicle -2009 dodge caravan.i have had a problem when the vehicle is on cruise and have been driving for a while.if i hit the brake, the brakes do not work.i have to jam hard on the brakes for the cruise to disengage and the brakes to work.the red brake warning light goes on, and stays on for about two to three minutes. I have taken the vehicle to two different dealers for this problem on: 2-15-10, 2-16-10, 3-18-10, 8-10-10, and 8-16-11.i have another appointment set for 8-23-11.the car is dangerous and the dealers just seem to replace parts without really knowing what the problem is.
The contact owns a 2009 dodge grand caravan.the contact stated that the brake pads and rotors were wearing prematurely.the dealer replaced the brake pads and rotors one year prior to the recent failure. The dealer could not explain the cause of the failure. The failure mileage was 41,400.
2008 dodge caravan.my wife complained about noise from brakes.brought in for a diagnosis and it needs both front and rear brake pads and rotors.the car has 21,000 miles, 90 percent on the highway.after research on the internet, this is a common complaint and chrysler is refusing to do anything about the accelerated wear on the pads and rotors.apparently the subpar materials that are used are over heating causing this wear.this is totally unacceptable.chrysler needs to address this and issue a recall.we were lucky to get 21,000 mi.from reading many other complaints, most need replacing around the 12,000 mile mark.
2009 caravan rear caliper grinding and rim so hot you can't touch it . Second time in 5 months this has happened . Cant drive the vehicle wheel doesn't want to rotate because caliper is locked under pressure.
Warped front brake rotors:received a notice from chrysler of extended warranty on brakes because pads and rotors might need replacement "earlier than expected". Took it to the dealer 1/28/11 at 35,300 miles and they said there was no problem.at 44,000 miles noticed faint squeal. Took it to independent mechanic who found that front brake rotors were severely warpedand needed to be replaced.mechanic said there was was no need to replace pads, which were fine, and that this was unusual because they usually wear at the same time. (note that high mileage comes from cross-country trips in the interstate, without heavey use of brakes).
The contact owns 2009 dodge grand caravan. The contact stated while attempting to apply the brakes they pulsated and the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who performed a diagnostic test that determined the failure was located in the rear and front brake rotors and pads. The dealer replaced the rear and front brake pads and rotors. The failure mileage was 25,000 and the current mileage is 27,000. Updated 07/28/11*ljupdated 08/01/11
2009 dodge grand caravan 70,000 miles having problems with dragging rear brakes and short (under 20,000) miles for top of line brake pads still haven't found a fix for this.
2009 dodge grand caravan rear brakes failure at 30,937 miles..an extended warranty was issued for front brakes, but problem with rear brakes have been ignored. My rear brakes required replacement at 30, 700 miles the front brakes still have over half the life remaining..chrysler should be forced to issue a recall.
The contact owns a 2009 dodge grand caravan. The contact stated the rear brakes continuously wore prematurely. The contact stated that at 31,000 miles, he was told that the front brakes were at 45 percent and the rear brakes were only at 15 percent. The contact had not experienced a failure. The failure and the current mileages were 31,000.updated 01/18/12*ljupdated 02/29/12
Vibration when braking.dealer stated that all 4 brake rotors were warped and would need to be turned.in addition front brake pads would need to be replaced.had to pay for this myself.at 40,000 miles vibration when braking started to reoccur.dealer agreed to replace all 4 rotors and pick up all but $250.00 of the cost as a goodwill gesture.from reading other complaints, there is something definitely wrong with the rotors on the 2009 dodge caravan/grand caravan.
The contact owns a 2009 dodge grand caravan. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer to have the brakes repaired under warranty. While having the vehicle repaired, the contact was informed that the rear rotors were warped and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact expressed concern over the rotors warping on a low mileage vehicle. The failure and current mileages were 23,673. Updated 09/09/11*ljthe rear rotors were turned, but not replaced. Updated 10/31/11
During a service visit to have the front brakes repaired under an extended warranty issued by the manufacturer for premature failure, i was notified that the rear pads and rotors also needed replaced, with the addition of an adapter to correct the problem that caused the premature failure of the rear pads and rotors. The manufacturers extended warranty did not cover the rear. The pads were not wearing evenly, the inside pads had worn to the wear indicator and the outside pads were worn to only 50%. Additionally, the left rear rotor was worn at a more significant rate than the right rear rotor.
We were on a trip and while on the trip the vehicle rolled over the 36k warranty.we were on the interstate going 75 mph when the rear of the vehicle started making a terrible vibration and vibration noises.we were able to get off on an exit within 1/4 mile of the vehicle making this noise. After we were able to stop the left rear tire smelled awful like something burning. After we got it to the dodge dealer they confirmed that the caliper had failed on the left side of the vehicle. They stated that our vin did not match those vehicles having the rear brake issues. Obviously we were experiencing the same issue as the other vehicles. Chrysler did agree to cover the failed caliper, but would not pay for the warped rotors or new brakes and would not cover the caliper on the right side as it had not yet failed (even though the rotor was badly warped). The rotors were on back orderand would take 3 weeks to get in.we were told not to drive the vehicle as it was a safety hazard yet chrysler was unwilling to take responsibility and replace the right side caliper as it had not yet failed. We replaced the right side caliper at our cost and both rotors and brakes as both rotors were warped badly....from defective calipers...but since only 1 side was locking up and smoking they would only replace the 1 side. I did not want to put my family in a vehicle that could become a fire hazard and believe that this is totally irresponsible of chrysler to put peoples lives in danger and not even acknowledge it since our vin supposedly did not fit with the vehicles that were deemed to have that problem. We contacted chrysler customer service directly and talked about the issue and the representative was basically unwilling to look up anything never offered to take any information from us (name, vehicle info), but yet was very eager to dismiss that there was an issue.
2009 d gr caravan purchased new, have had to have front brakes rotors , shaved , then brakes & rotors replaced,then again rear rotors shaved at 22,000 miles. There definitely is an issue with the brakes on this vehicle. And needs to be address by dodge.also had electrical problems and van cut off on me once going 45 mph , then approx 25 mph, then again at a stop.this is the 1st new car i have ever purchased,not an easy thing for me as i only make $25,000 a yrand i am so frustrated that i promise i will only buy used from now on, if i am going to pay nearly $30,000 for a vehicle , i don't expect to have to have it in the shop 4 + times and to have to shell out a couple hundred dollars every 6 months on it.
My van has been to the dealer 2 times with front brakes shaking the vehicle so bad it is hard to drive. It has started again within 8000 miles of the last repair. Now has 36000 miles on it. I have owned 6 caravans and have never had this problem with the others. Something is causing the rotors to warp.
-the contact owns a 2009 dodge caravan. While the contact was driving approximately 45 mph the brake pedal was engaged and the vehicle started to vibrate. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the technician replaced the front rotors. The second failure occurrence was approximately six months after the service repair was performed on the vehicle. The dealer replaced the rotors and calipers. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for the identical failure for the third time, and had not been repaired at the time of the complaint. The manufacturer was notified which informed the failure would be under an investigation. The contact was waiting on a response from the manufacturer regarding the failure. The failure mileage was 3,095. The current mileage was 9,100.
Steering wheel shaken at 9000 miles(warped rotors). Dealer replaced free due to mileage and i have 21000 now and steering wheel is shaken like crazy again. This vans braking system isdangerous whenbraking with noidea brakes are in the early stages of warping. There is so many complaints about this models brakes and something needs to be done before we have deaths.
Very noticeable brake pulsation,all four brake rotors and pads replaced due to their being pitted,rusted and down to metal on metal. Since off warranty asked for goodwill from dodge dealer and repair done for $100. Once again on 08/02/2010 the front rotors were found to be bad by dealer and replaced by dealer under warranty. Now, as of 07/07/2011 left rear brake appears to be stuck in a locked on position, brake is overheating,squealing and poor gas mileage and causing damage to rotor, pad and caliper per local mechanic. This failure is a real danger to someone who doesn't notice the condition as it may cause a fire due to excessive heat, premature tire wear, loss of braking due to fade and boiling of brake fluid. This condition also causes other brakes to work harder causing their premature wear.
Shaking in steering wheel when brakes applied at higher speeds. Started intermittently at about 12,000-13,000 miles, proceeded to get worse. Husband at first couldn't feel it so i did not take it in.when it got really bad i toldmy husband to take it for a drive again, he said he thought it was the rotors to take it in to the dealer. Sure enough i had warped rotors which were changed on june 4, 2010. I am not the only person i know to have this problem at such low miles on a dodge vehicle. I have informed them to notify you.
Brakes would squeal and screech while driving and would stop when the brakes were applied. The front rotor was red hot and smoking.i later had the same problem with the rear brakes and they had to replace the rotors pads and calipers.this appeared again after 15,000 miles and they said it was normal and wanted to charge me for repair.
Drivers side rear brake stayed engaged.overheated wheel and brake assembly.this has occurred another time approximately 2,000 miles later.suspect traction control system was applying braking to that wheel.brake released when vehicle was restarted.
The rear brake pads on this vehicle failed completely at only 34,000 miles.no tattle-tale component was on the original brake pads, so there was no warning that the brakes were wearing until the brake shoes starting grinding on the rotors.we have noticed excessive brake dust on the rear wheels starting at around 7500 miles on this vehicle.the front brakes still have 60-70% wear left on them.
Vibration when braking.dealer stated that all 4 brake rotors were warped and would need to be turned.in addition front brake pads would need to be replaced.had to pay for this myself.at 40,000 miles vibration when braking started to reoccur.dealer agreed to replace all 4 rotors and pick up all but $250.00 of the cost as a goodwill gesture.from reading other complaints, there is something definitely wrong with the rotors on the 2009 dodge caravan/grand caravan.
The engine shut down after i hit a bump during a turn, i ran into a ditch and something is broke on the front passenger side. Loud noises coming from tire area. I have already had this happen multiple times and replaced the bearing. But when the engine shuts down every time i hit any significant bump in the road, even when on the highway and i'm being told there isn't anything they will do until the recall is finalized?
I was driving down the road on a shallow left-hand curve when i turned the steeringwheel to the right, coming out of the curve, all the sudden the left front brake (lfb) began to chatter as though the lfb abs was engaging.the esp bas and the traction control lights came on.the van violently swerved towards the oncoming lane.luckly, there was no traffic come at me.i was able to over correct with the steering and regain control.i took the van to a local shop which diagnosed the steering position sensor inside the air bag clockspring to be bad.it was replaced and the problem went away.i feel this is very dangerous problem and should be addressed with a recall before someone is killed!

On multiple occasions while driving without warning van stops no power steering, no brakes engine stops all power is lost. The only code that appears is traction control.
Traveling down a street,the esp and traction warning lights came on.checked the owners manual, it states not to drive over 30 mph when that occurs if the lamps cannot be reset.reset lamps, lamps came back on, speed was reduced to 30 mph and after traveling a short distance, without touching the brake pedal, the brakes on both front wheels applied and brought the vehicle to a complete stop in the middle of the street in traffic. The brakes would not release until the motor was shut off and restarted. We were not hit by other vehicles, but it could have been very tragic. We were told by the dealer that failure of the steering angle sensor in the steering column will cause the brakes to engage and stop the vehicle.the cost for replacing the failed sensor and realigning the system was $712.45.
My vehicle turned off as i was driving causing me to almost be involved in an accident.this was not the first time my van has done this.it is caused by the faulty ignition switch issue sited in the l25 recall.i no longer feel safe driving my van alone or using it to transport my 4 children.i am seeking a loaner vehicle from chrysler until mine is fixed.
The contact owns a 2009 dodge grand caravan. While driving approximately 25 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. As a result, the brakes seized and the contact crashed into the preceding vehicle. The air bags failed to deploy and the contact 's head impacted the steering wheel. The contact sustained a concussion, sprained neck, and bruises to the feet, ankles, and toes that required medical attention. The vehicle was towed to the dealer and repaired. In addition, the contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 14v373000 (air bags, electrical system). The approximate failure mileage was 60,000.
I have been having an issue with my 2009 dodge grand caravan wherein my "anti-skid" system is somehow activated and kills my engine and tightens up my steering while i am driving down the road.i am able to keep my cool and throw it into neutral and restart the van and put it back into drive and keep going.i have been fortunate that this has not happened in high speed or thick traffic.i am concerned that this may cause an accident and injuries.i found a similar complaint on the internet:http://www.justanswer.com/dodge/8tir2-2009-grand-caravan-59-000-miles-traction.html.
Filed complaint about 3 weeks ago.called chrysler recall center and explained the vehicle problem.chrysler representative confirmed there is a recall on my vehicle, but the parts are not available.they stated they would document the urgency of my repair as the vehicle has failed 2 times in 3 weeks.i expressed my concern over the safety of driving the vehicle, especially with children.i was told the vehicle is safe to drive, but make sure i remove all object from my key ring.i really do not think this was the problem.the second time it had a power failure, the vehicle was almost stopped, ready to make a left hand turn, the road was smooth.how can the parts not be available when it was just released on the news that chrysler ordered the parts even before the recall was announced.also, 32 deaths possibly related to this defect.how can this not be of an urgent matter to have them replaced.i am nervous driving, which i have too in order to get to work, school, shopping. This whole situation is unbelievable to me.i have always bought american made cars, and this is the customer service i receive.i hope chrysler is ready for more lawsuits.its a shame people have to get hurt or even die for action to be taken.
I was driving down the highway at 70 miles an hour, and all of a sudden my car shuts off and turns back on and could not steer for a few mins, and it would not go over 45 miles an hour, every thing shut off in the car, it happened again, in rush hour traffic. My brakes on the car and rotors i have replaced 4 times in 3 years its eats them up, sometimes the side doors just open by them selves, driving or parked, control buttons are going out all the time, windows go up and down on there own, this car is a death trap waiting to happen. I have contacted the dodge dealership i am on a waiting list and have been for 4 months they still say the parts are not in yet.
The contact owns a 2009 dodge grand caravan. The contact stated that while driving at 30 mph, the vehicle failed to accelerate. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic for diagnosis. The mechanic stated that the steering wheel senor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 125,000.
I was driving at about 30 mph on a town road and the car randomly shut off. There was a traction control light that came on. All electrical still worked but no acceleration, power steering or power brakes. I had to slow down, put the car in park and restart the car. What if i was on the high way? what if i was crossing an intersection? my wife drives my 3 children around in this car. This has happened 3 times this past week. Never did it before. And i've already had the ignition switch replaced that dodge sent out a recall for.
On multiple occasions while driving, the vehicle decelerated on its own, while also losing all ability to steer or brake. All power control to steering, braking and maneuvering was lost, although the engine did not appear to shut off. The first incident caused my wife to end up in a ditch with the children in the car. Chrysler and their dealerships will not say this is related to the nhtsa campaign # 14v373000/ chrysler l25 recall because the engine did not appear to shut off. Whether part of the recall or not, these problems are serious safety issues for my family and others on the road. Additionally, chrysler does not have parts available for the recall and were not able to provide an availability eta for replacement parts. I was also told by chrysler that i have been notified of the recall, and as such, they hold no liability for me driving the vehicle until replacement parts available.
2009 dodge grand caravan - dallas, txwhile pulling out of a parking lot into the middle median to merge with traffic the vehicle lost all power. The engine died in the middle of the freeway and the steering and brakes failed to work.the vehicle has had this incident occur 3 times in 2014 each time resulting in the same outcome, engine dies, steering is lost due to no power steering and brakes fail. In each incident i was traveling at the speed limit and resulted in severe loss of control of the vehicle resulting in muscling the vehicle to the side of the road as it coast while quickly throwing the gears in neutral all at highway speeds.these incidents are not isolated to the more than 260 complaints over the last 11 years about general motors vehicles that suddenly turned off while being driven. This is clearly the same issue and will result in more deaths or sever injury if our regulators do not take action.taking the vehicle to the dealer after each incident only resulted in the dealer finding no trouble codes and being unable to duplicate the problem releasing the vehicle back into my care to drive in its impaired condition. Chrysler was contacted on the 3rd loss of power incident and case# [xxx] was opened.this is clearly related to the gm ignition switch recalls evidenced by more than 100+ complaints here:http://www.carcomplaints.com/dodge/grand_caravan/2010/engine/engine_shut_down_while_driving.shtmlhttp://www.safercar.govhttp://www.carcomplaints.com/dodge/caravan/2006/engine/intermittent_loss_of_power_while_driving.shtmlhttp://www.carcomplaints.com/news/2014/chrysler-investigation-ignition-switch.shtmlhttp://www.arfc.org/complaints/2008/dodge/grand_caravan/power_train/problem.aspxinformation redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

In october of 2013 i took my vehicle to my local chrysler dealership explaining to them my car stalls when it comes to an incline in the road i'm talking mere inches,not climbing up gigantic hill. Since october it has continuously stalled out on me, to go so far as to just stopping at a red light. If i put my foot on the brake and began to slow down,the entire vehicle starts shaking and feels as though the tires are trying to grip the road and there is a jumping and jolting sensation. My car cuts off at least once a week since october. I've taken it to the dealership to run a diagnostic, but they can't find anything wrong with it. Of course they're willing to take the entire car apart and charge me for it but i can't afford that! what's happening to my vehicle is from a manufacture defect. I was so happy to see the news article on wed. Com today which is why i'm contacting you.
I was driving the van on a major road at 45-50 mph, when the engine cut out.power steering was disabled, i was able to pull van off onto side street and restart.i don't know if fob switched to acc or off, i was just upset it stalled on major road.per article i have read, fob can move out of place if ride is bumpy, well i live in michigan where pot holes are sometimes unavoidable.road was bumpy that i was traveling on. I know their is a recall on van l25 for the ignition switch, i have since removed the fob from my key ring and will only drive with fob in ignition.
While driving approx. 35m/hrin low traffic, van steering wheel stiffened, no warning lights on dash, then abssignal went on and brakes were out.i was able to coast to side street and the van had complete engine shut down.i had 2 children in the car. Thank goodness we were not on the highway and traffic was low.the van restarted and we drove home.called my mechanic who had me get the battery checked out, which is only one year old.we bought a new battery a year ago because occasionally the van will not start right away, was stranded several hours at a baseball game, then it started.had it put on computer at mechanic who cannot find any codes coming up for reason.van has had at least 5 episodes of failing to start on first try. Second time this month, oct. 29,2014. Pulling to turning lane to go down our home street, when again, steering stiffened, i looked at dashboard, abs light came on, brakes out and engine shut off.i knew what was happening so i stopped before turning and restarted van. This is very dangerous.i had my daughter in car.again, thank good ness not on busy street with traffic or highway.i travel a lot with children and i am now afraid that this will happen on the highway and a serious injury or worse will happen. Dodge needs to address this immediately.
Vehicle while both driving on road and in park stalls. It givens no notice or warning that this is going to happen. At least 10 times i have noticed that the ignition switch has "moved" from the "run" position to "accessory," by itself. I have taken it to 3 different dealers but each has said they couldn't find an issue no codes have been coming up in the computer.i even had it stall in the dealer when i picked it up yet they have not done anything to fix the problem. When it stalls the steering wheel is extremely hard to move. I have 3 small children in the car when it stalls on main roads it is very frightening and dangerous trying to control the car, put it into neutral or park and get it to start or try to get to a safe place to restart it! i have contacted chrysler-dodge customer service, service managers etc all to no avail.i asked the dealer service managers if there was any recall and they told me there wasn't any....i see on nhtsa website there is one but it is for 2010 and up but the 2009 vehicles also have the same stall problem!report receipt date: mar 01, 2011 nhtsa campaign number: 11v139000 component(s): electrical system
My van turns off while driving it numerous times since this date. It also wont start at times and i am stranded anywhere from five to 30 minutes.power steering gets stuck sometimes and when braking at high speeds the whole car shakes.
Driving 45 mph and vehicle shut off losing power steering and brakes. No check engine light. Pulled over and restarted.happened again twice 2 days later.thought it was bad gas.filled up and added heat.seemed to be ok for about 10 days, but still was running harsh.engine shut off again 5/20 and then again on 5/21.did see briefly a check engine light on one of the occurrences otherwise no clues.had already filled up twice so ruled out gas.took it to mechanic and the only code he could pull up was the egr valve and maybe the spark plugs, but couldn't guarantee that was the cause. Replaced plugs and valve and so far the engine has not shut off and that includes one 1000 mile rt, and two 200 mile rts since then, but i'm still not totally convinced.however after reading about all the complaints about engines shutting off, i thought i better log this for the safety of others and the expense i paid to replace the egr and spark plugs.
On one occasion, my vehicle swerved without warning into the oncoming traffic lane, like being blown by a strong gust of wind.on another occasion, the vehicle spontaneously started pulling and my wife had to fight it to get it to pull safely to the shoulder.when i arrived i tried it and experienced the same problem.the dealer diagnosed it as a faulty clockspring & steering wheel position sensor.the electronic stability program hadimproperly sensed the steering wheel position and had been trying to compensate. While replacement of the said parts resolved the problem, my family was lucky to have avoided a serious accident when the vehicle swerved into the oncoming traffic lane.
The drain for the ac leaks under the passenger side dash. A recall (k25) was issued because the leaking water can affect the air bag control. Chrysler will not cover this vehicle claiming the vin # is not included. The problem and safety concerns are the same and the recall should be extended to cover all affected vehicles.
I had been laughing with the people of this school bus company which is close by to me named lorinda bus or logan bus co inc there at 100 st and atlantic av there about how they extended their parking lot upward there onto an old lirr track there that has not been used and is all rusty with broken cement and like other broken and old things there and they extended the parking lot for their buses there at 100 st and atlantic av there upward to like the top of this lirr track there which i found to be an odd location. I mean some questions were in my mind like could the 14 buses or 18 buses that they put up there on the old lirr track there stay up there with all of the huge buses parked up there on the track there. No, the lirr track there is not used anymore there beginning south from like 99 st and liberty avenue there and the old lirr track is maintained by nyc dcas or the mayor's office there. Lots of rusty and old and falling apart things there on that railroad track there of the lirr there. But with the old lirr track there at atlantic av and 100 st should they use that area up there, as i saw on a google map there to park 14-18 of their buses. Yes, the google map showed them extending their parking lot to the top of the lirr tracks there and they could park more buses as shown on the google map there. Do you think it is safe of lorinda or logan there to put like those buses parked up there all 14-18 of them up there on the old lirr track up there to be parked or no? the old lirr tracks are really falling apart, talking about the rust and all of that. Use google street view and you can see the rust in some parts of those bridges there.

My vehicle was put in park and about 10 minutes later it jolted backwards and hit a retaining wall in the driveway.
Sliding door will not close at times without having to force it to close. Not sure if the senor has been affected, there is nothing by the door when this happens
The contact owns a 2009 dodge grand caravan. While driving at various speeds the brake pedal was applied and was slow to respond. There was an abnormal squealing noise detected. The parking brake, tpms, and traction control warning lights were illuminated. The contact also stated that the sliding door detached from trim. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who stated the brakes needed to be replaced. The local dealer and manufacturer were not contacted. The failure mileage was 221,000.
We were walking up to our vehicle and used the keychain remote to open the rear liftgate. It went all the way open and my wife walked underneath it to put some things in the car. After it went all the way open, it stayed there for a couple of seconds and then all of a sudden came down hard and slammed my wife in the head. She sustained a sore neck and a headache that has since gotten worse. I tried operating the liftgate again while we were clear and it did the same thing. It went all the way open, paused for 2 seconds, and then slammed down hard about a foot before it went back closed in a normal fashion. It has since been repaired by the dealer. They had to replace the 2 hydraulic cylinders for the rear liftgate. However, my wife is still experiencing neck pain.
This is the 2nd of our 2009 grand caravans with the same failure in the exact same location. Pass side strut spring broke off at the upper end about 2-3 inches off the tip. Very hard to spot so look closely. 1st one was caught on a state inspection and this one was caught during routine pm. Is this a common problem?
Front right strut spring breaking at the upper tip 2-3 inches. This is the 3rd of our grand caravans that this break has happened to in the exact same spot. It's hard to see so you have to look closely at the very tip or it won't be noticed.
The contact owns a 2009 dodge grand caravan. The contact stated that after receiving a safety notice from the manufacturer, the vehicle was taken in for inspection.

While driving our 2009 grand caravan to work, there was a loud clunk in the rear of the vehicle and the vehicle swerved to the left across the center line and off the left side of the road. Thankfully there was nothing coming the other way. I parked the carin a lot and called my husband. When he arrived, it was discovered that the rear axle had broke in two pieces. This vehicle has always been well maintained and has less than 70,000 miles on it. We have not taken it in for repairs yet but im sure that this safety item will be on our dime and not dodge.
My husband was driving the van on dirt roads and then he heard a clunk, after taking it to the garage it was found that the axle had cracked and broke.we had to have it replaced.
While on a 500 mile trip the right front wheel bearing overheated and caused wheel to seize up on the highway. Had to have vehicle repaired out of town and incurred motel expenses for the night of the break down.
On one occasion, my vehicle swerved without warning into the oncoming traffic lane, like being blown by a strong gust of wind.on another occasion, the vehicle spontaneously started pulling and my wife had to fight it to get it to pull safely to the shoulder.when i arrived i tried it and experienced the same problem.the dealer diagnosed it as a faulty clockspring & steering wheel position sensor.the electronic stability program hadimproperly sensed the steering wheel position and had been trying to compensate. While replacement of the said parts resolved the problem, my family was lucky to have avoided a serious accident when the vehicle swerved into the oncoming traffic lane.

While operating our 2009 dodge grand caravan se at approximately 30 mph the rear drivers side tire's valve stem on the tire failed (occurred approximately 45 seconds after concluding highway driving). The nut holding the valve stem on appears to have broken causing the sensor to fall into the tire and resulted in the tire deflating immediately. This is the third sensor failure on the vehicle. Fortunately the first two occurred when the vehicle was stationary - airing up tires caused the stems to break in half. A call to the general dodge customer service stated that they had never heard of this issue occurring. A call to my dealership stated that they replace the tpms sensors "everyday" due to failures and then proceeded to quote me $200+ for a sensor replacement which included "programming" the sensor which isn't even necessary on this vehicle. Dodge dealership had stated that several other vehicles in their lineup have switched over to tpms sensors using rubber valve stems. These are not available for our year grand caravan.
On july 2, 2013 the tire pressure light went on.i went to put air in the driver's side front tire.the valve stem broke off resulting in a flat tire. I had the valve stem replaced at a cost of $140.00.on august 20, 2013 the light came back on again. I took it back to good year. They told me the twovalve stems on the passenger wheels, front/back were very corroded. They did manage to fill both tiresfor me. The light went off. Two days later, the light came on again. I went to fill the tires and the onevalve stem broke off, another flat tire! put on the spare, drove home, called around and had totake it in to be fixed again. $700 later, 4 new tires, another tpms replaced, and an alignment. Twovalve stem are still iffy, but they said they sealed okay........i am nervous about allowing my wife and three small children to ride in this car with twomore corroded valve stems.who knows if they will pop off and cause an accident.i'm seeing other people have had the same problems.i believe a recall should be made to have thisproblem corrected.~thank you
Tire pressure sensor was on. Tire pressure was fine. One tire started a slow leak, brought it to mechanic. Values have corroded, one fell in the tire. All the sensors had to be replaced.
On two occasions in past three weeks. The tpms valve stems snapped off, resulting in the immediate deflation of a tire.both incidents occurred while vehicle was being operated at low speeds (under 10 miles/hour).
While driving the tpms warning light came on. At our earliest convenience we stopped at a service station to check the tires. I checked and/or added air to 3 of the tires, when i went to remove thevalve stem cap on the 4th tire, the end of the valve stem broke off in my hand.thankfully the break occurred on the outer portion of the stem so the needle valve is still in place and the tire still holds air. Howeveri'm no longer able to check or add air to this tire. The metal on the valve stem appeared to be very corroded. Keep in mind this is on a van that is parked in a garage most of the time and not exposed to the elements as much as most other vehicles.
Almost to work in my 2009 dodge grand caravan which is approximately a one hour drive and light sensor came on in car.once got to work noticed rear driver side tire air low.at lunch tried to fill with air but could not because the was valve going into the tire.took to tire repair shop where they informed me that tire sensor cap was missing. They could not tell me why or how that would happen.they had to replace entire sensor at a cost of $130.then 3 days later tire light came on again and this time front passenger tire was low.looked at tire sensor cap and notice it was cracked, corroded and piece missing from cap.looked at other two caps and they are both cracked and corroded.so that explains why first cap was missing - it corroded and fell off.so now remaining 3 sensors need to be replaced. Took to dealer but was told not covered under my extended warranty. Seems to me if all 4 sensor caps are cracked, corroded and falling off there is a defect and a recall should be done.luckily i did not have the air leak quickly from the tire nor did it cause an accident but it easily could have.
The contact owns a 2009 dodge grand caravan. The contact stated that two of the valve stems deteriorated and caused the cap to fracture from the vehicle.the vehicle was taken to a local repair station where the first valve stem was replaced february 2011. The second failure occurred on april 2011 and the second valve stem was repaired at the same repair station. The contact called an authorized dealer who offered no assistance. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure.

Valve stem broke on front drivers side tire after parking it in the driveway. Tire went flat and had to replace valve stem, 1 month later the passenger front valve stem broke driving on the highway causing the tire to immediately go flat. Resulting in replacing tire and valve stem.
Low tire pressure light came on while driving 70 mph pulled over to check tire while checking the tire pressure in tire the tpms sensor/valve stem broke causing all of the air to escape from the tire.
Tire pressure sensor light came on.while filling tire with air, the stem of tire snapped in half, letting all the air out of the tire.had to have a new sensor installed ($130+).four months later, low pressure light came on, took it in for service to find that another stem was cracked.had that replaced for another $130.while having tires rotated, they found another stem leaking.dealer replaced it for free and told me that because the stems are aluminum and the stems are treaded on the outside and inside, they do not hold up to road salts and weather.dodge did correct this problem in the 2011 model vehicle but has not recalled the 2009 tire stems/sensors.still have the car and all four sensors have had to be replaced.horrible engineering and dodge should have to pay to replace them all.not going to happen because they do not think anyone will be killed by their poor design.not much of a chance of being sued for their poor engineering.
Tpm was on. Stopped to check tire pressure. When went to unscrew cap on rear passenger tire, air started shooting out and tire went flat in seconds. Valve stem assembly had corroded and broke off in cap. If i were driving, my four children and i could be dead. This would have been a very serious accident. Something has to be done. Dodge is using faulty valve stems, endangering people's lives.
2009 grand caravan.was washing the wheels, around the valve stem area, when the valve snapped off at the base of the valve cap, releasing all the air in the tire within 10 seconds.had this been a part failure during a high speed drive in heavy traffic, it would have been catastrophic.there should be a safety alert regarding this defect and an immediate recall.i refused to pay a $150.00 tire repair , so i opted out with removing the existing pressure monitoring system, and had a good old rubber valve stem put in, and the tire rebalanced.if a recall is not implemented soon, i plan on having all the valve stems replaced, and with all the other problems i've had with this vehicle, i would never again by a dodge.

2009 dodge grand caravan.consumer writes in regards to defective tire pressure monitor sensors.the consumer stated the technician noted that the tire valve stem made of aluminum, corroded and caused the retaining nuts to split.the consumer had to replace all four tire pressure monitor system sensors.
Driver's front tire pressure sensor nut corroded and broke off causing an immediate flat tire.the almost new tire (less than 25,000km) was also destroyed in the process of bring the vehicle to a safe stop. Had to purchase a new sensor as well as a new tire. $361.35 later out of my pocket for a defect that i am told is not restricted to dodge vehicles but with all tire pressure sensors in general. The defect having to do with the metal components being used. If the components were rubber as regular valve stems are or even rubber coated such failures would be greatly reduced. Would like for dodge to pay my bill but unlikely.....mileage and speed are canadian and in km and km/h.
Bought vehicle on 12-14-2010(used from a car dealer) vehicle was suppose to have been inspected(72 point check) this van had 34,916 miles on it. Dealer did recalls and warranty work. We complained about the tire "light" going on & off. Was advised that nothing was wrong with the monitor, that the tires just needed a little air for the higher altitude. They over filled tires. Tire light came on again. This time we were advise, by a tire dealer, that the valves(monitors) were cracked & leaking air. Also the engine light came on and stayed on until we got to the dealer, he said to turn off the motor and restart the engine. This time it went off.after reading the complaints about engine lights, we are scared that the dealers are again lying to us. We do not want to end up with the vehicle just stopping on us on the highway, infront of an 18 wheeler!this engine light problem has occurred to others and their transmission just quit.we believe that these dealers, are in denial. Why did the dealer tell my husband just to turn off the vehicle without using a code to find out what the problem is?we have had the vehicle in 2 times about the 'low tire" light & each time they just blew it off as needing air!it was an independent tire person who actually examined the tire to find the cracked valve-he did not have any thing to gain, as the valve stem was returned again to the dealer. When we looked back at the repair tickets (2) we noticed that our reporting of the tire light being on was not even on either of the repair tickets!btw: our 1999 dodge ram 1500 truck has the irregular & accelerated idle as well as the "out of no where" acceleration, which we found many complaints on the internet. We copied dozens of these complaints off the internet, as well as their solutions/fixes and gave the stack of paperwork to the dealer.(we had been back to the dealers dozens of times previously) as the problem kept coming back. The internet repairs it worked. We hope these can be 2.
2009 dodge grand caravan.consumer writes in regards to a defect with the tire pressure monitoring and regulating system.the consumer stated there was a likely potential for the sensors/valve to break/corrode due to composition and corrosion of metal materials.the problem could cause rapid decompression of air, and it could cause a potentially deadly accident. The consumer would like to see something done, about this defect.

Valve system failure:while traveling 2000 miles from home, the low tire pressure dashboard warning light came on.we checked all tire pressure and filled one low tire, but light came back on.we took it to mechanic who noted that the valve stem was corroded and cracked, and could have come dislodged at any moment, causing a blowout.replaced tpms sensor at a cost of $153.
2009 dodge grand caravan valve stem failure. In nov we went out for thanksgiving supper come out and found front left tire flat, valve stem was broken off and could not find cap or valve. Van had about 38,000 on it. This sunday pulled back into drive and in matter of seconds rear right went flat. Found same problem. Went over to check left rear and found crack in stem within 1/32" below cap, i called for new stems dealer is out of stock so the van must sit. I will have to put rubber stems in and deal with the light so i can use the van. Now what would happen if my wife or myself with kids and grandkids are on a trip busy roads,lots of traffic and this would happen. When these blow tires are flat in seconds. Its makes me afraid to drive noing this could happen. $74.25 each per stem not including labor. This is not fair or should not be aload on vehicles. Thanks for your time. The van now has 40,449.
I bought my 2009 van in oct. In dec. I had to have both valve stems replaced because they were leaking air, i have since then read online about others having problems with this issue with the tire sensors. Yesterday i went to take the cap off my front tire which had not been changed to regular valve stems and the whole stem came off in my hand and boom flat tire. Thank god i was not driving when it went and had my children or someone else's child with me. I cannot believe that a design flaw like that would be not be recalled by now. Just trying to take the cap off and boom it's in my hand. Still cannot believe it.
Low tire pressure came on. Check tire for air pressure and the valve stem broke and flew off 20 feet. Thank goodness i was not driving as this would of caused a crash indeed especially as i was going to be traveling on the expressway at 75 mph. Something needs to be done about this problem before someone gets maimed or killed.
The contact owns a 2009 dodge grand caravan. The contact observed that the front driver side tire pressure sensor gauge was defective causing an excessive amount of air pressure loss in the tire.

2009 caravan rear caliper grinding and rim so hot you can't touch it . Second time in 5 months this has happened . Cant drive the vehicle wheel doesn't want to rotate because caliper is locked under pressure.
On 6/27/2010 my family and myself were traveling to hackensack mn on hwy 371 and when i attempted to pass a slow moving vehicle my mini vankept increasing in speed.no injuries happened i calmly got it to stop but i had to pull off to the side of the road and shut off the engine.the cruise was on but not activated. I tried to hit the cancel switch hit the on off switch all the time pushing the brake pedal.the skid protection light and brake light came on and the brakes heated up really bad but i was able to stop.the engine would not stop racing and the lights would not go out until i shut down the engine on the side of the road.we then continued our trip with no more incidents and i did try to get it to happen again with no luck.
Esp bas and traction control light coming on randomly (even as car is in park).
I have been having an issue with my 2009 dodge grand caravan wherein my "anti-skid" system is somehow activated and kills my engine and tightens up my steering while i am driving down the road.i am able to keep my cool and throw it into neutral and restart the van and put it back into drive and keep going.i have been fortunate that this has not happened in high speed or thick traffic.i am concerned that this may cause an accident and injuries.i found a similar complaint on the internet:http://www.justanswer.com/dodge/8tir2-2009-grand-caravan-59-000-miles-traction.html.
A corroded valve stem let gojust after the low tire light came on. This was the first time this has happened. We managed to pull over to the berm and called aaa. The man came out and put the spare tire on and we were able to get home. I checked out the other valve stems and they are corroded also.
Takata recall on tue, dec 8, i took my van in to correct the recall regarding the wireless ignition node module.billion of sioux falls sd would not fix it free of charge because they said they would have had to remove my remote start.they stated they could/would not reinstall it or replace it at their expense.the recall on my van was not completed.
The air flow doesn't work properly. No matter what button i push the air flow is stuck on the face and the air on the driver's side blows out hot and the air on the passenger's side blows out cold. Because of this, the defroster doesn't work. This is a safety issue impairing visibility and "very" dangerous during bad weather.
Transmission gave out while driving gears wit shift lost emissions.
The car for years just wont start.you turn the key and then nothing happens.it has been an ongoing issue for years and just happened again today on 3 separate trips.i have taken it to the dealership and nothing can be found. Also when backing out and turning the wheel, the car makes a grinding noise.was told nothing can be done about that.
K31 notification. While driving on the interstate to visit family out of state, my ac blower motor stopped working and my floor on the front passenger and driver areas became very saturated. I brought my vehicle to an auto repair shop and they stated that the ac drain tube should be part of the k31 recall notification due to my vehicle being a 2009 grand caravan. The drain tube was rubber and the replacement part is supposed to be hard plastic. I contacted chrysler customer assistance and they stated that they would not do anything because the van was manufactured 2 months after the notification cut off. I stated that a mechanic verified that on www.alldatapro.com and the part was incorrect on my van.. Due to the drain tube getting clogged, it caused not only the cabin floors to become saturated but also the blower motor to become inoperable and needing replacement. Chrysler customer assistance then stated that i would have to take my van to a certified dealership (at my own cost) and have the part verified.the chrysler dealer i contacted told me it will cost $125 for them to simply verify that the part was incorrect. So not only did i pay the auto repair shop $37 but also have accrued at least $125 more and there is no guarantee that anything will be repaired. I feel that a mistake during manufacturing and 2 months should bar my van from the k31 notification repair.

It said that my grand caravan did not have an open recall for the key & ignition cylinder, and the vehicle keeps telling us that i have a bad key and the vehicle wont start at times can you check into this
My van stalls when decelerating from highway speed to off ramp yield. I have taken to mechanics and dealer and spent too much money on not getting the problem fixed.i did some researched and noticed on the forums that this is an existing problem that has not resulting in a vehicle recall .the problem looks like it has to do with the tipm fuel relay.my van only has 142,000 miles on it , this is obviously a safety issue and should be handled by the auto maker, not having customers spend needless money on dealer recommended fixes that do not fix the problem.i just spent over 700 to have dealer recommended repairs of throttle body service and tune up and this did not resolve the issue.why is it that as a consumer i need to do my own diagnosis when problem happened just this past weekend after dealer recommended solutions did not fix the problem! now my son is leaving in 3 days for school with the vehicle and i need to find a repair shop to try to fix the problem instead of you as the car company taking responsibility for a known issue.
I had been laughing with the people of this school bus company which is close by to me named lorinda bus or logan bus co inc there at 100 st and atlantic av there about how they extended their parking lot upward there onto an old lirr track there that has not been used and is all rusty with broken cement and like other broken and old things there and they extended the parking lot for their buses there at 100 st and atlantic av there upward to like the top of this lirr track there which i found to be an odd location. I mean some questions were in my mind like could the 14 buses or 18 buses that they put up there on the old lirr track there stay up there with all of the huge buses parked up there on the track there. No, the lirr track there is not used anymore there beginning south from like 99 st and liberty avenue there and the old lirr track is maintained by nyc dcas or the mayor's office there. Lots of rusty and old and falling apart things there on that railroad track there of the lirr there. But with the old lirr track there at atlantic av and 100 st should they use that area up there, as i saw on a google map there to park 14-18 of their buses. Yes, the google map showed them extending their parking lot to the top of the lirr tracks there and they could park more buses as shown on the google map there. Do you think it is safe of lorinda or logan there to put like those buses parked up there all 14-18 of them up there on the old lirr track up there to be parked or no? the old lirr tracks are really falling apart, talking about the rust and all of that. Use google street view and you can see the rust in some parts of those bridges there.
In october of 2013 i took my vehicle to my local chrysler dealership explaining to them my car stalls when it comes to an incline in the road i'm talking mere inches,not climbing up gigantic hill. Since october it has continuously stalled out on me, to go so far as to just stopping at a red light. If i put my foot on the brake and began to slow down,the entire vehicle starts shaking and feels as though the tires are trying to grip the road and there is a jumping and jolting sensation. My car cuts off at least once a week since october. I've taken it to the dealership to run a diagnostic, but they can't find anything wrong with it. Of course they're willing to take the entire car apart and charge me for it but i can't afford that! what's happening to my vehicle is from a manufacture defect. I was so happy to see the news article on wed. Com today which is why i'm contacting you.
I purchased this used handicapped equipped dodge back on june 26, 2015.the spare key didn't work, so i went to larry miller dodge in peoria, az to see if i could get it fixed.they said there was a recall on the van, and it would be foolish to purchase another key, as the recall would necessitate replacement of both keys anyway.i have called them twice since that time and am still waiting for them to call me back to schedule the recall work.in the meantime i don't have a spare key, so i'm unable to leave the van running without it.my wife is a paraplegic and sometimes has to sit in the van while i run into the store to pick up something.when it's more than 100 degrees outside she gets extremely hot because the air conditioning isn't running.the spare key would allow me to leave the van running and lock it up until i can get back to the van.the last time i spoke with the dealer, they told me they would put a "priority" on the recall service, but that was more than a month ago, and i still haven't heard anything from them.this is really getting frustrating.
We received a safety recall notice reguarding the wireless ignition node on our vehicle. As the notice instructed i called the dealership upon receiving the notice. The service department told us they would let us know when they got the part to replace it. It has now been over a year and the dealership still does not have the part they need to fix the problem. They say they are waiting for the car manufacturer to send the part.

Van has been having problems starting, it makes a clicking noise but the van won't turn on, yet all other electrical devices continue to work perfectly. After several attempts the van will eventually start, but other times we have had to leave it overnight parked due to it not started after trying for almost an hour. We replaced the battery, and the problem persisted. We took it to a dodge dealership and the win module was replaced and a new key was ordered and reprogrammed at a cost of almost $1000! a few weeks after getting the van back the problem started again and once again left me (pregnant) and my 2 young children stranded in 101 degree temperature. A tech from the dealership met with us this morning to look at the van and suggested it might be the starter. We can't continue to purchase parts and pay for labor and yet the vehicle isn't working as it should. This is dangerous for a pregnant woman with a newborn on the way and two young children.
Water leaks from the ac under the passenger dash. Other recalls site the ac drain and possible effect on a airbag sensor. My car has the same problem but appears to have no recall. Is there a recall and if not why? this leak happens whenever the ac is run for more than a few minutes. The dealer once cleaned the drain but said there was no recal. The problem has now returned.
I bought my dodge grand caravan on 09/09/2009. My complaint is with the key fob. I was using my first key fob & the vehicle would not start. I kept trying & eventually it did start. With years of use this plastic fob has become out of shape with tape on it. When i drove home it stopped while on the road home. I was able to safely pull over. My wife brought me the spare key fob. This has worked for a while & now it is acting up. I went to my local dodge dealership & they want over $400 for two key fobs including reprogramming them. When i bought this vehicle dodge never told me that the key fobs would only last for about 4 years. I have other vehicles with regular old fashioned keys & they still work properly even after 11 years. Thus i need dodge to replace these key fobs or repurchase my vehicle. It is not safe to drive when it could stop at any moment.
The driver door intermittently locks and will not unlock with the key. My wife has to climb out the passenger door as she cannot open the locked door by pulling the door handle which with a great deal of strength is the only way to open the dfrivers door.

Returning home from vacation while exiting interstate to merge with oncoming traffic at approx 60/65 mph i tapped the brake to disengage the cruise control and the vehicleto accelerate rapidly. I applied the brakes with all my force but it continued to accelerate. I was finally able to get it to the side of the road putit into park and shut the engine off., in a few minutes i restarted the motor and the car seemed ok. We drove a short way and stopped at a hotel for the night. The next morning as we started home the vents suddenly began to blow out very hot air . Neither the heat, air or fans were on. After pushing the hvac buttonsno ne of which were lighted the air suddenly stopped. I turned the air back on in a few minutes and everything worked. We drove to our dealer hendersonville cdrj and got an appt for this fri morning. The man didn't seem to have any idea of the problem. On our way home the horn started to beep intermittently for a few seconds at a time. We have not driven since then and will not until we take it back to the dealer on friday.xwe are a retired senior couple, my husband is disabled and this van is our only vehicle and it is frightening to have been placed in such a very dangerous situation. Hopefully the dealer will be able to identify and correct this problem.
On 1/18/20010 i experienced uncontrolled acceleration of my 2009 dodge grand caravan.the vehicle was serviced at galeana dodget, ft. Myers fl on 1/24.i was told that fuel induction parts needed cleaning and that would resolve the problem.on 1/24 after only 377 miles since service i experienced the problem again.i was in the middle lane of a 3 lane highway driving about 45 mph.when i began moving to the far left lane and bring the vehicle up to the posted speed of 50 mph i noticed the gas pedal depress beyond my intention.i attempted to stop acceleration by applying the brakes to no effect.it slowed the rate of acceleration which resumed as soon as i released the brake.as the highway busy i had a hard time controlling the car and pulling back to the right lane so i could safely stop the car on the shoulder when i turned the ignition off.when i restarted the car the engine continued to race at over 4,000 rpms.eventually after several times starting and stopping the ignition the engine returned to appropriate idle speed.as we were in a dangerous place and close to the place we were staying (on vacation) and did not know who to call i drove the car pack and parked it waiting instructions from dodge on how to proceed.at this time i am afraid to drive the car as we had a very harrowing experience.problem previously reported at a gasoline fuel system problem as that is the way the repair shop described it.
The contact owns a 2009 dodge grand caravan. The contact stated that the vehicle experienced unintended acceleration. The contact stated that the vehicle could be decelerated by depressing the brake pedal with excessive force. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 97,000.updated 04/04/16*ljthe consumer stated the dealership diagnosed the failure to be caused by the floor mat. The consumer disagreed and stated the accelerator pedalt pulled to the floor.
While i was getting on the highway gas pedal got stuck and accelerated. It would not des engage even while applying thebrake.
When the vehicle is cold, and after i start driving, if i do no have my foot on the accelerator, the engine will just die.when it does, there are no warning lights go on and the steering becomes completely unresponsive. I must quickly put the car in neutral and start it again. It can happen multiple times before the engine warms up.it can just happen going down the road.i have had it to the dealer and another auto repair place and neither can figure out what is wrong. This happens quit often.
The contact owns a 2009 dodge grand caravan. While driving 55 mph, the windshield wipers functioned independently and all the warning indicators started to flicker on the instrument panel. The contact coasted the vehicle over to the side of the road and powered off the engine. The vehicle was restarted, but the failure recurred. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or independent mechanic for diagnostic testing. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 175,000.
While driving the wipers, headlights, and dashboard started operating crazy. It would occur every 30 seconds and would not stop. The only solution (temporary) was to remove the fuse associated with the driver side door. This caused the craziness to stop, but now i lost all ability to operate any functions on the driver side door. The fuse was tested and it is working just fine. While this was not an immediate danger, it was still scary having this happen to me while driving with my young children in the car. We are unable to discover a permanent solution. After review, it appears we are diffidently not alone. Please figure this out!
Instrumental cluster lights turn on, all dial indicators go to 0, wipers turn twice, outside lights turn on and then off, and warning beeps inside. Can repeat different frequency time, but usually every few seconds. Some warning lights remain on, especially brake warnings and airbag. 2 dealers reviewed and recognized issue but stated did not know what to do. Rarely, after start-up only brake light and airbag warnings stay on and no other light issue. First dealer replaced instrument cluster and improved by no left dial issue, but warning lights still occur. All warning lights, center dial, and right dial, lights, and wiper issues still occur. Dealer checked and noted programming issue but informed nothing can do. Now occurs more often. All brake warning lights now always show after beginning to drive. Then all other warning lights, and so on, begin as noted. Recorded and attached. Frequency has increased. If i turn outside lights on, lights will not turn off when issue occurs but turn signal still stops when i have them on. Other drivers then do not know if iam turning. Airbag, brake, fuel lights, wipers, and outside lights worry me since everything shows warning or stops while driving, as frequent as every few seconds during entire drive. Is one of the issues real or are they all pretend due to the vehicle issue? occurs all speeds, temperatures, and so on.
All the dash lights / electronics go off and come back on intermittently along with the windshield wipers turning on and off at the same time.the power doors do not work reliably either as they have closed randomly while open.it's very distracting while driving and we feel it puts us at risk of an accident, or worse, when it occurs.dealership has problems diagnosing it do to the intermittent nature, but can pull off bunches of codes, when hooked up to their scan tool.however, none of the error codes point to what caused the problem, just that a problem has occurred.they replaced the tpim module, but that did not fix the problem and they have pretty much given up..
Windshield wipers turn on and off erratically.headlights turn on and off erratically.gauges don't work, can't open or close side and rear door.this is due to the tipm not functioning properly
Our van keeps running out of oil completely before oil change is due, dealer has already replaced oil pan and rear main seal. Problem still exists and they are saying the rear main seal again. Does not make any sense because there is no oil in parking spot or under vehicle near rear main seal. Online many people report that it is a engine problem and that it is a common issue with the motor... So why are people having to pay for repairs when this motor should be recalled. It is currently at the dealership now being repaired or replacing rear main seal again.
The contact owns a 2009 dodge grand caravan. While driving 65 mph he noticed that the passenger side 3rd row window/hinges had suddenly fractured from the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealership and the window was replaced. The current and failure mileages were 14293. Updated 01/12/10. *ljthe consumer stated the window separated and flew into traffic. Updated 01/13/10.
I was just starting driving after being at a stop. I used the window control that automatically rolls the window completely up. When the window reached the top, there was a loud popping noise. After that, the window started slowly sliding down on it's own. My husband disassembled the door and replaced the window regulator. Since that time (10 months ago), the same thing has happened a total of 3 times. The belief is that it is an electrical problem, making the computer system think that the window isn't up all the way (possibly a sensor not detecting that the window is completely up). The system then keeps trying to roll the window up more, snapping the cables connected to the regulator. Not only is this a nuisance, it is an expensive fix. It is also very distracting while driving and could cause an accident due to the loud noise when it breaks, as well as trying to keep your window from falling into your door while driving.
Valve stem broke on front drivers side tire after parking it in the driveway. Tire went flat and had to replace valve stem, 1 month later the passenger front valve stem broke driving on the highway causing the tire to immediately go flat. Resulting in replacing tire and valve stem.
Low tire pressure light came on while driving 70 mph pulled over to check tire while checking the tire pressure in tire the tpms sensor/valve stem broke causing all of the air to escape from the tire.
Nut came loose from valve stem and tire deflated on 2 different occasions while vehicle was moving.
Tpm was on. Stopped to check tire pressure. When went to unscrew cap on rear passenger tire, air started shooting out and tire went flat in seconds. Valve stem assembly had corroded and broke off in cap. If i were driving, my four children and i could be dead. This would have been a very serious accident. Something has to be done. Dodge is using faulty valve stems, endangering people's lives.
2009 dodge grand caravan.all 4 tire valves are corroding.one broke off and fell inside tire.other broke off when trying to unscrew of cap.both passenger tires went flat.
2009 dodge grand caravan front wheel bearing failure.dealer told me they would notify me when the new bearings arrive. They are on a national back order because of all the reported failures.

Valve stem broke when removing cap to check pressure
I was coming up to speed on the highway and my tpms light came on, 2009 dodge grand caravan sxt, and i could feel a shake of a front tire going flat.i pulled over and the tire was indeed flat, put on the spare and returned home.i pumped the tire back up, or attempted to and noticed air coming out the side of the metal valve stem.i contact chrysler customer affairs number and got a song and dance that required me to go to a dealer to get it inspected but not repaired, then to recontact chrysler to see if they are going to do anything.dealership said it's not a warranty item and needs to be replaced, and that i should do all 4 tire stems as this is a common problem...hello, $600 for 4 tire stems, are you nuts?this is a safety issue, i have read many pages of complaints about total failure of these metal valve stems leading to crashes and severely damaged tires due to sudden and unexpected failure of the poorly designed valve stems.this should be a recall.i see chrysler changed the design in mid 2010 to a more reliable rubber design...hmm, perhaps this was due to all the complaints.unfortunately there will need to be more injuries or deaths due to this flaw before someone does something about it.vehicle is extremely well cared for and has 22,300 miles.
Almost to work in my 2009 dodge grand caravan which is approximately a one hour drive and light sensor came on in car.once got to work noticed rear driver side tire air low.at lunch tried to fill with air but could not because the was valve going into the tire.took to tire repair shop where they informed me that tire sensor cap was missing. They could not tell me why or how that would happen.they had to replace entire sensor at a cost of $130.then 3 days later tire light came on again and this time front passenger tire was low.looked at tire sensor cap and notice it was cracked, corroded and piece missing from cap.looked at other two caps and they are both cracked and corroded.so that explains why first cap was missing - it corroded and fell off.so now remaining 3 sensors need to be replaced. Took to dealer but was told not covered under my extended warranty. Seems to me if all 4 sensor caps are cracked, corroded and falling off there is a defect and a recall should be done.luckily i did not have the air leak quickly from the tire nor did it cause an accident but it easily could have.
The contact owns a 2009 dodge grand caravan. The contact stated that the tire pressure warning light illuminated. In addition, the rear passenger tire would continuously deflate. The vehicle was taken to a local mechanic, where the contact was advised that the valve stem locking nut was corroded, cracked and disintegrated. The contact was advised that the valve stems needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure.the failure mileage was 25,000 and the current mileage was 49,000.
Tire pressure sensor was on. Tire pressure was fine. One tire started a slow leak, brought it to mechanic. Values have corroded, one fell in the tire. All the sensors had to be replaced.
While driving the tpms warning light came on. At our earliest convenience we stopped at a service station to check the tires. I checked and/or added air to 3 of the tires, when i went to remove thevalve stem cap on the 4th tire, the end of the valve stem broke off in my hand.thankfully the break occurred on the outer portion of the stem so the needle valve is still in place and the tire still holds air. Howeveri'm no longer able to check or add air to this tire. The metal on the valve stem appeared to be very corroded. Keep in mind this is on a van that is parked in a garage most of the time and not exposed to the elements as much as most other vehicles.
Left rear tpms valve stem corroded and failed while driving on highway.tire quickly deflated.tire dealer replaced tire, but valve stem was too corroded, so a regular valve stem was used.two days later, the right front valve stem failed, again while driving on highway.while at tire dealer, i had them replace the other two tpms sensors that hadn't failed (yet).
While operating our 2009 dodge grand caravan se at approximately 30 mph the rear drivers side tire's valve stem on the tire failed (occurred approximately 45 seconds after concluding highway driving). The nut holding the valve stem on appears to have broken causing the sensor to fall into the tire and resulted in the tire deflating immediately. This is the third sensor failure on the vehicle. Fortunately the first two occurred when the vehicle was stationary - airing up tires caused the stems to break in half. A call to the general dodge customer service stated that they had never heard of this issue occurring. A call to my dealership stated that they replace the tpms sensors "everyday" due to failures and then proceeded to quote me $200+ for a sensor replacement which included "programming" the sensor which isn't even necessary on this vehicle. Dodge dealership had stated that several other vehicles in their lineup have switched over to tpms sensors using rubber valve stems. These are not available for our year grand caravan.
The contact owns a 2009 dodge grand caravan. The contact stated that all four of the tire pressure monitor valves became fractured. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who replaced the tire stem. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The vin was not available. The failure mileage was 36,000 and the current mileage was 46,000.
On two occasions in past three weeks. The tpms valve stems snapped off, resulting in the immediate deflation of a tire.both incidents occurred while vehicle was being operated at low speeds (under 10 miles/hour).
On july 2, 2013 the tire pressure light went on.i went to put air in the driver's side front tire.the valve stem broke off resulting in a flat tire. I had the valve stem replaced at a cost of $140.00.on august 20, 2013 the light came back on again. I took it back to good year. They told me the twovalve stems on the passenger wheels, front/back were very corroded. They did manage to fill both tiresfor me. The light went off. Two days later, the light came on again. I went to fill the tires and the onevalve stem broke off, another flat tire! put on the spare, drove home, called around and had totake it in to be fixed again. $700 later, 4 new tires, another tpms replaced, and an alignment. Twovalve stem are still iffy, but they said they sealed okay........i am nervous about allowing my wife and three small children to ride in this car with twomore corroded valve stems.who knows if they will pop off and cause an accident.i'm seeing other people have had the same problems.i believe a recall should be made to have thisproblem corrected.~thank you
I was driving our van on vacation in out of state on the expressway at 70 mph.my low tire sensor came on, along with the yellow exclamation point light in the dash.i was close to my exit, pulled off and into a gas station where there was an air pump, looking to asses the situation.when i tried to put air into the front driver side tire, which was now really looking flat, i pushed the air nozzle against the valve stem which pushed right inside the rim.i had to call my insurance to have a wrecker come, they put my doughnut tire on. I went and had a tire place put in a regular valve stem.the original valve stem is stuck to the inside of the rim, and apparently had come lose because whatever had held it there failed.when i got home, i had the valve stem replaced with a new valve stem with a pressure sensor.i feel this is unsafe, because losing any of your tires pressure at the rate of speed we were driving, could have made us lose control of the vehicle, harming ourselves or others driving near us.
At only 61,000 miles, the front wheel bearings on my vehicle have had to be replaced.the bearings were making loud noise and i was concerned that they would fail.had bearings replaced at a dealership.
