• 12/29/2016· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ENGINE

  WHILE DRIVING THE CAR, THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF UNEXPECTEDLY AND WE LOSE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. WE HAVE TO COAST TO A STOP, PUT IT BACK IN PARK AND RESTART ENGINE AND PROCEED. THIS HAPPENS WITH NO PREDICTABILITY WHICH MAKES THIS DANGEROUS. THE TIMES THAT IT HAS HAPPENED, THE ROADS HAVE BEEN WET OR SNOW COVERED. IT HAS ALSO HAPPENED ON DRY ROADS. TRAVELING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED MAKES THIS A DANGEROUS CIRCUMSTANCE. SINCE IT IS UNPREDICTABLE, WE ARE VERY NERVOUS TO TAKE THIS CAR ON A HIGHWAY. WE HAVE HAD THE CAR IN TO SHAPIRO LEON MOTOR SALES SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY CANNOT FIND ANYTHING THAT COMES UP ON THEIR DIAGNOSTICS.THEY DID REPLACE THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE. THIS DID NOT MAKE A DIFFERENCE. IT CONTINUED TO SHUT DOWN. THERE IS NO RHYME OR REASON. THEY HAVE DRIVEN IT BUT IT DID NOT SHUT DOWN FOR THEM. I GOT IT INANE SHORTLY AFTER LEAVING , IT SHUT DOWN. WE KNOW THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE IGNITION SWITCH THROUGH JUNE 2010 BUT OUR CAR WAS MANUFACTURED SEPT 2010. HOWEVER ALL THE SYMPTOMS THAT ARE LISTED ON THAT RECALL FIT OUR VAN'S PROBLEM PERFECTLY. THE DEALERSHIP DOES NOT AGREE A PER THEIR TESTING. THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT WE CAN HAVE HAPPEN TO US WHILE TRAVELING 65 DOWN THE INTERSTATE. THE ONLY THING THAT SHOWS UP ON THE DASH IS THE TRACTION CONTROL WHEN WE LOSE ENGINE POWER. PLEASE ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM. *TR

  SINCE 2013 MY DODGE GRAND CARAVAN HAS FAILED TO START ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. IT WILL WORK OK WHEN SUDDENLY YOU TURN THE KEY AND THE DASH LIGHTS COME ON BUT THE ENGINE WILL NOT TURN OVER. A DODGE DEALER CHANGED THE BATTERY BUT THE PROBLEM HAS PERSISTED. SOMETIMES YOU CAN TURN THE KEY TO ON SHIFT INTO DRIVE AND BACK INTO PARK AND IT WILL START. SOMETIMES YOU CAN SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL AND IT WILL START. OTHER TIMES NEITHER OF THESE FIXES WORK. RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM SHOWS IT HAS LONG BEEN A LONGTERM PROBLEM WITH DODGE AND CHRYSLER COVERING SEVERAL YEAR MODELS. NUMEROUS PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED STARTERS, BATTERIES, TIPM MODULES, WIN MODULES, FOBS AND NEUTRAL SAFETY SWITKENNETHCHES (TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSORS) BEING REPLACED WITH NO RELIEF FROM THE PROBLEM. CHRYSLER AND DODGE DEALERSHIPS ARE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM AND CORRECT IT. IT HAS LEFT US STRANDED IN BOTH COLD AN HOT WEATHER SOMETIMES WITH OUR 3 SMALL GRANDCHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE. I FEEL THAT THE SAFETY ISSUE OF THIS PROBLEM IS SOMETHING THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO IDENTIFY AND CORRECT. *TR

I TOOK THE VAN BACK TO THE DODGE DEALER SINCE THEY HAD FIXED THE WIRELESS IGNITION MODULE UNDER A RECALL NOTICE IN AUGUST OF 2010. I WAS TOLD TO TOUCH THE KEY AND THE POWER WOULD RETURN WHICH IT DID DO.I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THE PROBLEM OF THE KEY TURNING OFF THE ENGINE WAS FIXED UNDER THE RECALL BUT THEY NOW HAVE THIS PROBLEM.

  I WAS DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 45-50 MPH AND ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AND IN THE NEXT SECOND THE CAR JUST LOST ALL POWER. NOTHING! I PULLED OVER AND IT STARTED ABOUT 5 MINUTES LATER. HAVING TO DRIVE AN HOUR BACK HOME ON THE HIGHWAY WAS SCARED AND MY FATHER BEING A DISABLED VET - THIS IS THE VEHICLE THAT IS USED.

• 12/27/2017· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,EXTERIOR LIGHTING,ENGINE

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

• 12/27/2016· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,EXTERIOR LIGHTING,UNKNOWN OR OTHER

  I HAVE HAD MY 2010 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN FOR 1 YEAR. FIRST THE ALTERNATOR WENT OUT THEN THE KEY MODULE THEN THE TRANSMISSION THEN THE SHIFTING HARNESSES CABLE AND NOW THE LIGHTS KEEP BLINKING ON AND OFF AND THE VAN FEELS LIKE IT HAS NO POWER THE BATTERY WAS JUST CHANGED A MONTH AGO. THIS HAS BEEN THE WORST VEHICLE EVER AND WE ARE SCARED THAT IT IS GOING TO CAUSE A DEADLY ACCIDENT. THE VEHICLE GETS STUCK IN GEARS. AND AND NOW KEEPS SHUTTING OFF AND THE HEADLIGHTS KEEP BLINKING ON AND OFF AS WELL AS ALL THE LIGHTS IN THE VAN. IF THESE ARE KNOW ISSUES WHY HAS THERE NOT BEEN A TOTAL RECALL ON ALL THESE VEHICLES BEFORE A DEADLY ACCIDENT DOES HAPPEN. OR IS IT GOING TO TAKE SOMEONE TO ACTUALLY DIE BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE ABOUT ALL THE KNOWN ISSUES THE MAKERS OF THESE VEHICLES ARE AWARE OF.

  WHILE DRIVING, THE ENGINE SHUT OFF CAUSING THE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES TO NOT RESPOND. I MUSCLED THE CAR AROUND A CORNER, RESTARTED AND CONTINUED HOME. *TR

• 12/27/2013· ENGINE

  ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS (5 TO DATE) THE ENGINE HAS STALLED WHILE THE VEHICLE IS MOVING AT A STEADY SPEED. EACH TIME THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN MOVING AT LESS THAN 20MPH AND HAS BEEN RUNNING FOR A RELATIVELY SHORT PERIOD OF TIME 5-10 MIN FROM COLD START. WE TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER, BUT NO CODES WERE SET AND THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THEY SAY THE ENGINE IS NOT DUE FOR MAINTENANCE FOR ANOTHER 15,000 MILES. WE ARE EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED IN THIS RESPONSE GIVEN THE SERIOUSNESS OF HAVING THE ENGINE STALL WHILE THE CAR IS MOVING. HEAVEN FORBID IT OCCUR WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY. *TR

  WHEN DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT NIGHT THE HEADLIGHTS SUDDENLY SHUT OFF THEY WOULD NOT COME BACK ON, NEITHER THE HEADLIGHTS OR THE HIGH BEAMS WOULD WORK, I PUT THE HAZARD LIGHTS ON AND GOT OFF THE ROAD, AFTER THAT THE HEADLIGHTS BLINKED WHEN TURNED ON AND THEN WOULD NOT COME ON AT ALL, AFTER THAT THEY CAME ON AND THEN SHUT BACK OFF AGAIN WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS, THE HEADLIGHTS TURN OFF WHILE DRIVING OR DO NOT TURN ON AT ALL. *TR

• 12/24/2016· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

  THE VAN WILL INTERMITTENTLY FAIL TO START, OR IT SPUTTERS WHEN IT STARTS. BYPASSING THE FUEL PUMP RELAY ON THE TIPM MODULE WILL FIX THE PROBLEM, HOWEVER IT IS NOT A SAFE PERMANENT SOLUTION. OTHER MAKES AND MODELS HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THE SAME ISSUE, HOWEVER THE 2010 DODGE CARAVAN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL EVEN THOUGH THE SAME DEFECT AND PROBLEM IS EVIDENT. THIS IS A BAD DESIGN AND DODGE SHOULD STICK BY THEIR MISTAKES AND PROVIDE A FIX.

THE STEERING BARELY ALLOWED ME TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I WAS ABLE TO PUT THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL AND RESTART IT. THE 2ND OCCURRENCE WAS 3 WEEKS AFTER THE 1ST BUT THIS TIME IT WAS WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE ONTO A FREEWAY WHERE TRUCKS AND CARS WERE DRIVING 75 MPH!

  IN THE MOST SERIOUS OF MANY NO-START INCIDENTS, OUR VAN FAILED TO START IN 107 DEGREE TEMPERATURES WITH OUR THREE SMALL CHILDREN IN THE CAR. WE WERE STRANDED AT A REMOTE REST AREA, WITH NOWHERE TO TAKE REFUGE FROM THE DANGEROUS HEAT. AFTER 18 ATTEMPTS THE ENGINE FINALLY STARTED AND WE COMPLETED OUR TRIP TO RENO NEVADA, DRIVING IN REMOTE AREAS AMID DEADLY HEAT FEARING OUR VAN WOULD FAIL TO RESTART IF STOPPED. IN THE PRIOR WEEK WHILE IN FL, THE VAN HAD A NEW BATTERY INSTALLED AT OUR GATOR CHRYSLER, IN A REPAIR ADVISED TO SOLVE NO START INCIDENTS WE HAD IN FL. THE VAN ALSO UNDERWENT AN INSPECTION, WITH NO PROBLEMS REPORTED TO US. WE SCHEDULED A PANICKED DEALER SERVICE VISIT WHILE STILL IN ROUTE, AT A RENO DODGE ON JULY 1ST 2013. THE DEALERSHIP TECHNICIANS RETAINED THE VAN TO DIAGNOSE THE NO-START FOR 2 FULL DAYS. THEY NOTED NO MALFUNCTION AND COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM. THE VAN HAS SINCE DEVELOPED INTERMITTENT FAILURES OF SEVERAL ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS, INCLUDING STALLING WHEN PLACED IN REVERSE, FAILING TO SHIFT INTO 2ND GEAR AFTER SITTING OVERNIGHT, NO POWER TO THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER OR NO POWER TO THE CONSOLE CONTROLS. THE VAN AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE IN DECEMBER OF 2011 HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN "REPAIRED" IN THE RECALL FOR ITS WIN MODULE. ADDITIONALLY A PCM REFLASH 68050411AF HAD BEEN PERFORMED. OUR VAN CONTINUES TO HAVE NO-START INCIDENTS AND TRANSMISSION FAILS TO SHIFT INTO 2ND GEAR, NO FIXES. BOTH RENO AREA CHRYSLER DEALERSHIPS HAVE LOOKED AT OUR VAN AND NOTED NO FAILURES. DESPITE BEING "REPAIRED" UNDER RECALL THE IGNITION MODULE CONTINUES TO MALFUNCTION. WITH A FOB INSERTED THE MODULE SHOWS EXCESS SLOPPINESS IN THE CLOCKWISE DIRECTION. THE KEY FOB HAS BEEN STUCK IN THE IGNITION ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, AND THE ENGINE HAS CONTINUED RUNNING AFTER REMOVAL OF THE KEY. THESE MALFUNCTIONS HAVE POTENTIAL TO BECOME DANGEROUS IN CERTAIN SITUATIONS.

• 12/20/2011· VISIBILITY

  MY FACTORY INSTALLED SUNROOF HAS LEAKED SEVERAL TIMES FLOODING THE INSIDE OF THE VAN WITH AS MUCH AS 1 1/2" OF WATER COLLECTING IN THE CONSOLE. WATER POURS OUT OF THE ELECTRICAL CONSOLE ON THE CEILING OF THE VAN AND MORE SERIOUSLY THE BUTTON ON THE DOOR JAMS FROM WHERE THE SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS DEPLOY. ALSO ON TO THE DASH SEEPING IN TO ELECTRONIC STUFF INSIDE THE DASH. MY MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN IS FOR ELECTRIC FIRES AND MORE IMPORTANT FOR THE AIRBAGS(HAVE THEY GOTTEN WET? HAS THE ELECTRICS INVOLVED GOTTEN WET? WHAT MIGHT THAT CAUSE?) WHICH I FEEL MAY BE COMPROMISED CAUSING THEM TO MALFUNCTION WHEN NEEDED. *TR

• 12/14/2011· SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC

  EARLIER THIS YEAR, LATE SPRING, HAD BAD VIBRATION WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES, FOUND OUT IT WAS DUE TO WARPED BRAKE ROTOR(S). I TOOK THE VAN TO A MECHANIC AND HE STATED THAT HE HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH HIS CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY VAN AND EXPLAINED THAT CHRYSLER WOULD DO NOTHING ABOUT IT. JUST LAST WEEK I WENT TO GET THE VAN INSPECTED AND IT WOULD NOT PASS INSPECTION BECAUSE OF THE BRAKE VIBRATION. I DID RECEIVE SOME LETTERS FROM CHRYSLER IN THE MAIL ABOUT THE FRONT BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS, AND ALSO THE FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS, SO I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS NOTHING FOR THE REAR ROTORS / BRAKES, AND THIS IS WHERE THE PROBLEM WAS THAT WOULD NOT ALLOW THE VAN TO PASS INSPECTION. I PAID $265.00 TO HAVE THE BACK ROTOR(S) CUT AND THEN HAVE THE FRONT BRAKES / ROTORS REPLACED (FOR THE KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE FRONT) AND AFTER CUTTING THE REAR ROTORS THERE WAS STILL A SLIGHT VIBRATION IN THE BRAKES! TO PAY OVER $600.00 EVERY 1 1/2 YEARS FOR FRONT AND REAR ROTORS / BRAKES IS UNREAL. I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW VAN BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT TO HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT MAJOR REPAIR $ FOR A LONG TIME. THE REASON FOR THE WARPED ROTORS IS THE BRAKING SYSTEM IS EITHER UNDERSIZED, OR THERE IS A SERIOUS DESIGN FLAW. WHEN I SEARCH THE INTERNET I FIND ALL SORTS OF HITS ON CHRYSLER VEHICLES FOR BRAKE / ROTOR ISSUES, PAST AND PRESENT. I WISH I WOULD HAVE SEEN THIS BEFORE I BOUGHT THE VAN. *TR

  WHILE DRIVING ENGINE SHUT DOWN AND I DID NOT KNOW IT UNTIL I REALIZED I DID NOT HAVE POWER STEERING OR BRAKES, WHILE CAR STILL ROLLING I RESTARTED VEHICLE. I RECEIVED LETTER NOTIFYING ME ON A RECALL REGARDING THIS PROBLEM. I BROUGHT CAR IN FOR REPAIR. JULY 19 I BROUGHT MY CAR IN FOR OIL CHANGE AND TOLD DEALER THAT AFTER RECALL REPAIR MY KEY GETS STUCK IN IGNITION AND CANT TURN CAR OFF UNLESS I PUT VEHICLE IN DRIVE AGAIN AND RESTART CAR AND AGAIN TRY TO SHUT OFF. DEALER SAID THEY NEEDED TO CHECK THE RECALL AND POSSIBLY REPLACE AGAIN. THEY SAID THEY WOULD INSPECT WIN MODULE AND REPOSITION FOR MORE KEY SUPPORT. AUGUST 15, 2012 VEHICLE STALLED AGAIN WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS GETTING DANGEROUS SINCE I HAVE 3 TODDLERS IN CAR WITH ME AT ALL TIMES - THE REASON FOR PURCHASING A MINI VAN. DEALER STATES THEY KNOW I HAVE BEEN THERE SEVERAL TIMES FOR SAME CONCERN BUT FOUND NO STORED OR ACTIVE CODES. THEY STATED IT MAY HAVE TO DO WITH NEEDING A SOFTWARE UPDATE AND UPDATED TO LATEST LEVEL. OCT 22,2012 BROUGHT VEHICLE IN AGAIN FOR 4TH TIME WITH VEHICLE STALLING WHILE DRIVING. DEALER DECIDED THEY WOULD KEEP MY VEHICLE AND GAVE ME A LOANER TO DRIVE HOME. THE STATED THEY NEEDED TO DUPLICATE IN ORDER TO FIX. AFTER DRIVING 237 MILES (WARRANTY OVER IN 6K MILES) AND CONTACTING CHRYSLER ON HOW TO HANDLE PROBLEM, THEY RE-INSTALLED THE SAFETY RECALL AGAIN. THE DEALER KEEPS DOING THE SAME RECALL OVER AND OVER WITH NO RESOLUTION TO THIS VERY SCARY STALLING PROBLEM. NOW DEC, MY KEY AGAIN DID NOT COME OUT OF IGNITION UNLESS I RESTARTED VEHICLE.

  THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE WITH ONLY 17-18000 MILES ON IT. WE REPLACED BRAKES AND ROTORS BECAUSE DODGE TOLD US THAT THE ROTORS WERE WARPED AND BRAKE PADS LOW. NOW AND 21000 I NEED TO REPLACE THEM AGAIN. THE BRAKES ARE NOT SUFFICIENT FOR THE WEIGHT OF THE VEHICLE AND THEREFORE CHRYSLER SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR DESIGNING AN INADEQUATE BRAKE SYSTEM. CONSUMERS ARE NOT ENGINEERS AND WE BUY VEHICLES TRUSTING THE MANUFACTURERS HAVE DESIGNED A CAR CORRECTLY AND WITH BASIC NECESSITY (SUCH AS A BRAKING SYSTEM) TO HAVE TO REPLACE A VANS BRAKE EVERY 3-5000 MILES IS RIDICULOUS. CHRYSLER SHOULD RECALL THIS BRAKE SYSTEM AND INSTALL NEW BRAKES ON EVERY MINI-VAN THEY PRODUCED. *TR
