Summary

THE ENGINE IN THE VAN STALLED (SIMPLY SHUT OFF - DID NOT SPUTTER) WHILE DRIVING AT A STEADY SPEED IN TRAFFIC. CONSEQUENTLY THE POWER ASSIST FOR THE STEERING AND BRAKES FAILED. IN THAT SITUATION MY PHYSICALLY CHALLANGED WIFE WAS COMPLETELY UNABLE TO CONTROL THE VAN. THANKFULLY THE VAN ROLLED TO A STOP WITHOUT HITTING ANYONE OR ANYTHING, OR GETTING HIT FROM BEHIND. AFTER PUTTING THE GEAR SELECTOR INTO "PARK" IT RESTARTED NORMALLY. THIS HAPPENED TWICE WITHIN 15 MINUTES DURING THE SAME SHORT TRIP HOME. THERE WAS NO WARNING SIGNS WHATSOVER BEFORE THIS HAPPENED. (NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, ETC.) AN INTERNET SEARCH OF ABUNDANT IDENTICAL DODGE GRAND CARAVAN STALLING ISSUES INDICATES A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT THE MANUFACTURER IS CURRENTLY TRYING TO EVADE - FOR FAR TOO MANY YEARS, TO THE DETRIMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY.

Summary

The headrest deployed while the vehicle was parked and occupied. The driver was sitting in the seat and hit by the headrest. If he had been leaning back, it was likely forceful enough to cause a head or neck injury. If we had been driving it was distracting and startling. It easily could have caused a crash. I have reported this to Mopar, and I will be taking it to a dodge repair shop for inspection and replacement. They stated they were aware of the issue and they sent out letters. They were aware I never received one, they said due to not having my address, though I have received other communication from Dodge. I know of 2 other dodge owners whose vehicles are in the affected group according to Mopar, and neither has received notification of this potential malfunction. There was absolutely no indication there was anything wrong with the headrest prior to smacking the driver in the head.

Summary

THIS VEHICLE HAS THE SAME PROBLEM REGARDING THE WIRELESS IGNITION MODULE (WIM) PROBLEMS AS THE 2008 - 2012 OF SAME MODELS. MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THIS CAR WITH ALL FOUR OF OUR CHILDREN WHILE WE ARE HERE IN GERMANY (ACTIVE DUTY US AIR FORCE) 2017 AND THE ENGINE DIED WITH NO WARNING/INDICATORS. I WAS NOT IN THE VEHICLE SO I THOUGH MAYBE SHE HIT THE IGNITION AND IT CUT OUT. AT THAT POINT WE SWAPPED VEHICLES AND I HAVE BEEN USING THIS CAR AS MY PRIMARY VEHICLE FOR DRIVING BACK AND FORTH TO WORK 2017 - 2021. I AM A AIRCRAFT MECHANIC WITH OVER 23 YEARS OF MAINTENANCE EXPERIENCE ON MULTIPLE DIFFERENT AIRFRAMES. I HAVE PERSONALLY WITNESSED THE ENGINE CUTTING OUT WHILE DRIVING NO LESS THAN 20 TIMES SINCE (4/25/2021). I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PUT THE VAN IN NEUTRAL AND IMMEDIATELY RESTART THE ENGINE (WHILE I AM DRIVING AND THIS HAPPENS). THIS HAPPENS AT SLOW SPEEDS (RESIDENTIAL AREA WITH CHILDREN PLAYING IN STREETS, HIGH SPEEDS (WHILE ON THE AUTOBAHN), DURING TURNS (DRIVING ON HILLY CURVED ROADS LUCKILY I HAVEN'T EXITED THE ROADWAY YET!), BRAKING (AT STOP LIGHTS), WHILE PARALLEL PARKING; POWER BRAKES STOP OPERATING, POWER STEERING STOPS OPERATING, GAS PEDAL STOPS RESPONDING TO INPUT - ALL DUE TO THE ENGINE THAT STOPS OPERATING. WHAT I BELIEVE NOW DUE TO THE WIRELESS IGNITION MODULE GOING FROM ON POSITION TO ACCY A MALFUNCTION WITH IN THE WIM. IT'S LIKE SOMEONE JUST KILLED THE ENGINE, BUT ALL LIGHTS, RADIO, EVERYTHING ELSE ELECTRICAL STILL OPERATES PERFECTLY. MILEAGE 135,000 MILES THERE ARE NO INDICATORS THAT THE ENGINE HAS CEASED TO OPERATE EXCEPT THAT THE RPMS ARE AT 0 (EVEN AT IDLE RPMS SHOULD BE AROUND 1,000 RPMS). NO OTHER INDICATOR LIGHT ILLUMINATES. CONNECTED OBD2, NO CODES, I EVEN DRIVE WITH A BLUE DRIVER ATTACHED AND WHEN IT HAS HAPPENED THERE ARE NO CODES RECORDED. THESE CARS ARE HAZARDS ON THE ROADS AND IT IS SHAMEFUL DODGE WILL NOT ADMIT THEIR MISTAKE!

THE REPOSITIONED CHASSIS MOUNTING BRACKET FOR THE PANHARD ROD SEPARATED FROM THE VAN IN A STRAIGHT-ROAD SINGLE VEHICLE HIGHWAY ROLLOVER CRASH. EVIDENCE CURRENTLY SUPPORTS THAT THIS BRACKET MOUNTING (WELDED TO THE CONVERSION'S SHEET METAL) MAY HAVE PARTIALLY FAILED PRIOR TO THE ROLLOVER CRASH. THE LOSS OF FUNCTION OF A PANHARD ROD REDUCES VEHICLE CONTROLLABILITY. THIS COMPLAINT SUBMITTED BY A THIRD PARTY NOT INVOLVED WITH THE INCIDENT.

Summary

OUR 2013 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN WOULD START FINE AND IDLE FINE. ONCE ON THE ROAD DRIVING AROUND LOCALLY NOTHING MORE THAN 10 -15 MILES FROM THE HOUSE WITH AVERAGE SPEED OF 35-45 MPH THE ENGINE WOULD JUST DIE! NO WARNING LIGHTS OR SOUNDS IT WOULD JUST DIE. YOU WOULD HAVE TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND RESTART THE ENGINE. YOU THEN WOULD CONTINUE ON WITH YOUR DRIVE AND AT THE NEXT STOP SIGN OR TRAFFIC LIGHT IT WOULD DO IT AGAIN, THE ENGINE WOULD JUST DIE. YOU WOULD HAVE TO REPEAT THE STEPS ALL OVER AGAIN AND RESTART THE ENGINE. ANOTHER TIME MY WIFE (LUCKILY NONE OF MY 3 CHILDREN IN THE VAN AT THE TIME) TOOK A LEFT HAND TURN AND MIDWAY THROUGH THE TURN THE ENGINE DIED AND LOST ALL CONTROL OF THE VAN! NO STEERING OR BRAKES! ALMOST SENT THE VAN OFF INTO THE DITCH AND ALMOST ROLLED OVER. NOW THE ENGINE WILL JUST DIE EVEN WHEN IDLING IN THE DRIVEWAY. ONCE AGAIN NO WARNING. NO MIL IDENTIFICATION LIGHT COMES ON AND NO CODES THROWN. VAN HAS IN THE PAST 6 MONTHS HAD THE BATTERY, FUEL PUMP, INJECTORS AND COIL PACKS REPLACE. NONE OF WHICH SOLVED THE PROBLEM. DODGE HAS NO RECALLS FOR THIS VIN IN REGARDS TO RANDOM ENGINE DYING EVEN THOUGH HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF CONSUMERS HAVE EXPRESSED THEIR CONCERNS OF THE SAME ISSUES. THIS VAN IS VERY UNSAFE AND DOES NOT BELONG ON THE ROADS LET ALONE HAVING A FAMILY OF 5 TRAVEL IN IT. WE FEEL DODGE IS LITERALLY DODGING THE ISSUE AND THIS IS UNSAFE CONSUMER PRACTICE.

CURRENTLY MY VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP FOR ME TO INCUR COST OF THE RELAY PACKAGE WHICH SHOULD HAVE BEEN UNDER SAFETY RECALL P54. PART #CBP4P541AN. UNFORTUNATELY, I CAN NOT WAIT DUE TO FAMILY NEEDS THE VAN DONE IMMEDIATELY BUT REIMBURSEMENT WILL BE NECESSARY.

I ALSO NOTICED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WOULD LOCK AND UNLOCK WHEN IT FELT LIKE IT (WHEN THE CAR WAS ON) AND THE ALARM LIGHTS WOULD WORK INTERMITTENTLY (WHEN TRYING TO ARM THE CAR). YESTERDAY IT CRANKED UP AND IT TOOK 3 TIMES TO TURN OVER. WHEN I GOT OUT OF WORK IT WOULD CRANK, BUT DIDN'T TURN OVER AT ALL. I HAD TO GET A JUMP AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT TO AN AUTO SHOP.

APPROXIMATE COST OF REPAIR IS $1350 AND THE PART IS ON BACK ORDER FOR AT LEAST 3 WEEKS. LEADING ME TO BELIEVE THERE IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH THE PART!!!

Summary

THE FOLLOWING HAS HAPPENED TO MY CAR. THE AHR HEADREST WENT OFF, AND I WASN'T IN AN ACCIDENT. HOWEVER, DODGE CHRYSLER IS NOT WANTING TO ISSUE A RECALL SINCE A PERSON IS NOT AT RISK FOR INJURY. HOWEVER, COST TO FIX THIS HEADREST RUNS IN THE $500-$900 CATEGORY. AND IT'S A KNOWN ISSUE. SO WHY ISN'T DODGE CHRYSLER ACKNOWLEDGING IT? THE 'ACTIVE HEAD RESTRAINT' (AHR) HEADRESTS FOUND IN CERTAIN CHRYSLER VEHICLES AND MANUFACTURED BY GRAMMER AG SUFFER FROM A DEFECT. THE 65-PAGE LAWSUIT OUT OF FLORIDA ALLEGES THAT ALTHOUGH FCA US AND GRAMMER AG'S ACTIVE HEAD RESTRAINT IS MEANT TO SPRING FORWARD IN THE EVENT OF A REAR-END COLLISION TO CATCH A VEHICLE OCCUPANT'S HEAD TO PREVENT WHIPLASH, THE FEATURE CAN 'DEPLOY WITHOUT WARNING OR EXTERNAL FORCE FROM A COLLISION, AND FORCEFULLY STRIKE THE BACK' OF A DRIVER OR PASSENGER'S HEAD. DESCRIBING THE APPARENT DEFECT AS COMMON AND UNIFORM, THE CASE CLAIMS THE FORCE OF THE IMPACT TO THE BACK OF A VEHICLE OCCUPANT'S HEAD AND NECK CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY AND CREATES AN ADDITIONAL ACCIDENT RISK SHOULD THE DEFECT MANIFEST SUDDENLY WHILE A VEHICLE IS IN OPERATION. ACCORDING TO THE LAWSUIT, THE CAUSE OF THE DEFECT IS THE FAILURE OF A 'CHEAP PLASTIC COMPONENT' INSIDE THE DEFENDANTS' AHR. SPECIFICALLY, THE FEATURE CONTAINS A PLASTIC BRACKET THAT ACTS AS THE TRIGGERING MECHANISM AND HOLDS THE FEATURE'S SPRING-LOADED RELEASE IN PLACE UNTIL A SENSOR SIGNALS THAT THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN HIT IN ITS REAR, THE CASE EXPLAINS. AS A 'COST-SAVING MEASURE,' THE PLAINTIFFS SAY, CHRYSLER AND GRAMMER AG DESIGNED THE AHR BRACKET WITH 'AN INFERIOR AND INEXPENSIVE FORM OF PLASTIC' THAT CAN CRACK AND BREAK DOWN PREMATURELY DUE TO THE 75 POUNDS OF CONSTANT PRESSURE APPLIED BY THE AHR'S SPRINGS ONTO THE BRACKET.

ACCORDING TO THE DODGE DEALER THAT IS HANDLING THE CAR THERE IS A DEFECT WITH THE TYPUN I BELIEVE THAT BEING IT'S NOT A PROBLEM THAT'S RELATED TO WEAR AND TEAR. THEN IT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A RECALL AND NOT A OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE.

Summary

ABOUT A MONTH AGO THE DRIVER'S SIDE SLIDING DOOR STOPPED WORKING IN MY WIFE'S 2013 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN SXT. THE LOCK WILL NOT ACTUATE TO EITHER LOCK OR UNLOCK AND SO THE DOOR IS STUCK EFFECTIVELY LOCKED AND WILL NOT OPEN. THIS IS THE ONLY DOOR THAT HAS THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE BUT A FEW TIMES I HAVE RIDDEN WITH MY WIFE I HAVE NOTICED THAT THE OTHER DOOR LOCKS DO NOT AUTOMATICALLY TRIGGER AND AUTO-LOCK AS THEY SHOULD WHEN THE VEHICLE IS INITIALLY PUT INTO DRIVE FOR ABOUT 10MIN AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN MOTION. THE LOCKED SLIDING DOOR CREATES A SAFETY HAZARD IN MY OPINION SINCE THE DOOR CANNOT BE OPENED ELECTRONICALLY OR MANUALLY. THE DELAYED ACTIVATION OF THE AUTO-LOCK COULD ALSO INDICATE A LARGER ISSUE WITH EITHER THE DOOR LOCK MECHANISMS IN GENERAL OR THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM THAT CONTROLS THEM. AFTER SEARCHING ONLINE I HAVE FOUND THAT THERE IS AN ABUNDANCE OF ISSUES LIKE THESE CONCERNING VARIOUS YEARS AND MODELS OF DODGE MINIVANS. ENOUGH TO POSSIBLY CONSTITUTE A RECALL.

Summary

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT AROUND 60 MPH, MY HEADREST DEPLOYED. I DID NOT USE THE BRAKES, AND WAS NOT INVOLVED IN ANY SORT OF ACCIDENT, INCLUDING A REAR END ACCIDENT, WHICH IS WHEN THIS IS SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN. WHEN THIS HAPPENED, IT SMACKED INTO THE BACK OF MY HEAD. THE SURPRISE AND PAIN OF THIS HITTING THE BACK OF ME HEAD RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. I WAS TRAVELING AROUND OTHER VEHICLES. THE PLASTIC TABS INSIDE ARE SNAPPED AND THERE IS NO WAY TO PUT IT BACK TOGETHER WITHOUT A REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT. THE PART OBVIOUSLY FAILED. THERE WAS NO REASON FOR THIS TO HAPPEN AND I HAVE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE OF THIS HAPPENING TO CHRYSLER MINIVANS AND SUVS. THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADREST DID NOT DEPLOY, WHICH I BELIEVE IS FURTHER EVIDENCE THAT IT DID NOT FUNCTION AS INTENDED. IF I HAD BEEN INVOLVED IN A REAR END ACCIDENT, THEY BOTH SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED, AS MY HUSBAND WAS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS PART AS IT COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND IS VERY COSTLY TO REPAIR. I'M INCLUDING PICTURES OF THE DEPLOYED HEADREST, THE PASSENGER ONE THAT IS STILL TOGETHER, AND THE REAR OF MY VEHICLE TO SHOW THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT. THANK YOU.

I DONT USUALLY GO UPHILL OR DOWNHILL WHERE I LIVE AND COMMUTE! ONE DAY I HAD WENT TO OAKLAND TO HELP GIVE A RIDE THATS WHEN I NOTICED IT WAS UNSAFE. I WAS DRIVING DOWNHILL WHEN SUDDENLY THE VAN WOULD JOLT AND STOP THEN GO IT WOULD REPEAT THIS ALL THE WAY DOWN FOR 4 MIN. IT WAS REALLY SCARY ONCE I GOT BACK ON EVEN LEVEL PAVEMENT IT STOPPED AFTER I PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AND IN DRIVE IN THE OAKLAND HILLS I FELT I HAD NO CONTROL OF MY CAR IT WAS A HILL THAT HAD SOME MILD TURNS BUT THE HILL WAS STEEP. I WAS NOT DRIVING FAST, I WAS ONLY GOING 30 MILES PER HOUR. I HAD NO BRAKE PROBLEMS BEFORE OR AFTER JUST DURING THIS ROAD. I TOOK THE VAN TO TWO DIFFERENT MECHANICS SAYING THE TRANSMISSION IS GOING OUT. I ONLY HAD THIS VAN TECHNICALLY FOR 43,000 MILES. I EVEN FOUND OUT THAT IT HAD A RECALL BEFORE I BOUGHT IT IN 2014 OF SOMETHING ELSE. THE DEALERSHIP THAT SOLD ME THE VEHICLE DIDNT MAKE SURE THAT RECALL WAS FIXED IN 2014. I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN 2016!! THIS VEHICLE WAS USED!! I WISH WE HAD TEST DRIVED THIS CAR ON A HILL FIRST!! IM PAYING 19,000 FOR THIS CAR I EVEN WENT A HAD TO FIX THE HEATER CORE THAT ALSO WENT OUT.. I OFTEN SERVICE IT!! I HAVE NO PHOTOS TO TAKE LIKE HOW? I AM WORKING ON GETTING DOWN TO A DODGE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THEM TAKE A BETTER LOOK AT IT!! ITS SO MUCH MONEY FOR SOMETHING I THOUGHT WOULD BE RELIABLE.

I HAVE REQUESTED DODGE PAY FOR THE REPAIRS AS I HAVE ALREADY PAID TO HAVE IT DIAGNOSED. WE ARE UNABLE TO ADJUST THE HVAC SYSTEM TEMPS AND WAS ADVISED I NEED A BLEND DOOR ACTUATOR THAT SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER X64 WARRANTY EXTENSION. I WOULD EXPECT DODGE TO PAY FOR THIS. THEY WANTED ME TO GET IT DIAGNOSED AT A DEALERSHIP (I PAID $75 TO HAVE IT DIAGNOSED) FOR 4124 THEN THEY WOULD CONSIDER PAYING REPAIRS; MADE NO SENS TO ME. RECALL 24-005-16 SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO COVER MY 2013. PLEASE PROVIDE DODGE CORPORATE OFFICE CONTACT INFO IF YOU COULD. I WOULD APPRECIATE WHATEVER CAN BE DONE TO GET THIS FIXED. BLEND DOOR ACTUATOR IS IN NEED OF REPAIR AND I FEEL AS THOUGH I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR IT. THANK YOU!

BATTERY IS NOT HOLDING A CHARGE FOR MORE THAN 3 HOURS. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO SEVERAL MECHANICS AND AUTO-SHOPS, BUT NO ONE IS ABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. WHEN THE BATTERY DIES, AND I GET IT TOWED TO A SHOP, THEY SAY THEY CANNOT DIAGNOSE IT UNLESS THEY CHARGE OR JUMP THE BATTERY; BUT ONCE THE BATTERY IS CHARGED/JUMPED, THE DIAGNOSIS COMES BACK CLEAN. LITERALLY, EVERY MORNING I NEED TO GET THE CAR JUMP STARTED, ELSE I AM STRANDED. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN SPORADIC FOR ABOUT THE LAST 7 MONTHS, BUT IT HAS BECOME A REGULAR PROBLEM WITH THE PAST 2 WEEKS. ONCE THE CAR RESTS FOR MORE THAN 3 HOURS, IT DIES. I HAVE CHECK THE ALTERNATOR CHECK TO SEE IF THE DIODES ARE LEAKING; I HAVE HAD THE STARTING AND CHARGING SYSTEMS CHECK, BUT NO ONE CAN FIND A RESOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM. THE POWER DRIVERS SEAT HAS ALSO STOPPED WORKING ABOUT 4 MONTHS AGO, AND THE AC LIGHTS FLICKER CONSTANTLY (EVEN THOUGH THE AC DOES WORK NORMALLY) I SEE THERE WAS A PREVIOUS RECALL CONCERNING ELECTRICAL PROBLEM WITH THE DRIVER SIDE ARM REST, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF THIS COULD POSSIBLY BE A RELATED ISSUE. *DT CONSUMER STATED OTHER THAN THE POWER SEAT AND THE DRAINING BATTERY, THE ONLY OTHER ISSUE CONSUMER NOTICED WAS A FLICKERING OF THE AC LIGHTS. *JB

THE 2013 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN SXT GETS STUCK IN A LOW GEAR REVVING THE RPMS TO 4,000-5,000 RPMS WHILE GOING AT LOW SPEEDS. THIS HAS OCCURRED EVERY WEEK SINCE PURCHASE OF THE VEHICLE, ANYWHERE FROM1-3 TIMES A DAY; IT IS RARE TO GO A DAY WITHOUT THE CAR GETTING STUCK IN LOW GEAR. THIS OCCURS WHEN THE CAR IS STARTED AND AS I PULL OUT. THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN REPLACED, THE BATTERY HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE AND THE CAR HAS STALLED TWICE. WITHIN THE TWO YEARS OF OWNING THE VEHICLE, IT HAS BEEN IN TO BE REPAIRED 10 TIMES. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN 2017 AND OWN IT TO CURRENT DATE IN 2019. I HAVE HAD THREE DIFFERENT REPAIR SHOPS ATTEMPT TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE AND NONE OF THEM CAN. THE CAR STILL GETS STUCK IN LOW GEAR AND THE RPMS REV TO 4,000-5,000. THIS CAR HAS A DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION AND MORE THAN LIKELY IS PART OF THE DEFECTIVE ISSUES WITH THE TIPM, TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE. (NHTSA ACTION #DP14004)

Summary

2013 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN: MANY PROBLEMS HAVE TO DO WITH FAILURE OF TWO VERY IMPORTANT SOFTWARE UPDATES NOT BEING COMPLETED THROUGH AN ACTUAL RECALL BY CHRYSLER. NHTSA INVESTIGATED TIPM-7 WHICH RESULTED IN INCONCLUSIVE FINDINGS; NHTSA NEEDS TO REOPEN INVESTIGATION. MY CAR HAS THREE DEFECTS: TWO DEFECTS ARE DUE TO SOFTWARE UPDATES THAT WERE NEVER PERFORMED. NO RECALL BY CHRYSLER EITHER. THE POWER CONTROL MODULE DEFECT WAS OUTLINED IN CUSTOMER SATISFACTION NOTIFICATION M38: JANUARY 2013. VEHICLE HISTORY SHOWS NO UPDATE. THE 'POOR AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE SHIFT QUALITY' IS DUE TO THE SOFTWARE NOT BEING UPDATED. ALSO HAD TO REPLACE TRANSMISSION. THE BATTERY DYING THREE TIMES AND BEING REPLACED TWICE OVER 6-MONTH PERIOD IS DUE TO THE FOLD AND STOW MODULE (FSM). CHRYSLER COMMUNICATED IN A BULLETIN THAT THE FSM NEEDED TO BE UPDATED WITH NEW SOFTWARE OTHERWISE A DEAD BATTERY WOULD RESULT DUE TO THE FSM 'STAY[ING] AWAKE' (DATED APRIL 23, 2014). VEHICLE HISTORY DOES NOT SHOW SOFTWARE HAD BEEN UPDATED. THE 3RD ISSUE: ENGINE STALL HAS OCCURRED IN DODGE GRAND CARAVANS 2008-2014. NHTSA INVESTIGATED THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE (TIPM) FROM SEPTEMBER 25, 2014 TO JULY 24, 2015: 'THE PETITIONER ALLEGES THAT TIPM DEFECTS MAY RESULT IN ENGINE STALL [...]" ON SEPTEMBER 25, 2014, THE OFFICE OF DEFECTS INVESTIGATION (ODI) OPENED DP14-004 TO EVALUATE THE PETITION [...].' THE FINDINGS WERE 'THE MOST COMMON EFFECT OF THIS DEFECT CONDITION, RELATED TO THE FUEL PUMP RELAY, WAS A NO-START CONCERN, BUT IT COULD ALSO RESULT IN STALL WHILE DRIVING (76 COMPLAINTS). OVERALL, MY BATTERY DIED THREE TIMES IN A 6 MONTH PERIOD (FSM), THE CAR DOES NOT SHIFT INTO A HIGHER GEAR (PCM) ON A DAILY BASIS, AND FINALLY, THE CAR STALLED AND THE POWER STEERING LOCKED UP (TIPM). THESE CARS NOT ONLY HAVE ONE DEFECT, BUT IN LARGE PART, DEPENDING ON THE YEAR OF YOUR VEHICLE, THEY HAVE THREE DEFECTS!!!

THE 1ST AND 3RD TIMES THE CAR WAS MAKING, OR HAD JUST COMPLETED, AN EXTENDED HILL CLIMB ON CITY STREETS AND THE GAS TANK LEVEL WAS RELATIVELY LOW. THE 2ND AND 4TH TIMES THE CAR WAS ON THE HIGHWAY ON LEVEL TERRAIN WITH A 3/4 TO FULL GAS TANK. AFTER 1ST OCCURRENCE, TOWED TO LOCAL SHOP AND HE COULD FIND NO ERROR CODE IN THE CAR'S COMPUTER. THEN DROVE IT TO DEALER AND HE KEPT IT OVERNIGHT. DEALER AGREED THAT THERE WERE NO CODES BUT SAID THAT RESTART COULD HAVE ERASED THEM. HE SAID THAT HE COULD NOT MAKE IT HAPPEN IN HIS SHOP AND, THEREFORE, COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. FOR SUBSEQUENT SHUTOFFS WE JUST WAITED THE 20 MINUTES, RESTARTED AND DROVE OFF HOPING IT WOULD NOT RECUR. LUCKILY, WE WERE ABLE TO PULL OFF TO THE SHOULDER WITH NO INCIDENT. WE NOW DRIVE ONLY IN THE RIGHT-HAND LANE AND TRY TO AVOID HIGHWAYS AND LONG-DISTANCE TRIPS. THE CAR IS UNRELIABLE AND DANGEROUS.

Summary

THE VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY EXPERIENCES INTERRUPTION TO FUEL DELIVERY (?) ON THE STREET, HIGHWAY, AND FREEWAY AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. THIS TYPICALLY HAPPENS WHEN ACCELERATING. THE VAN WILL BE ACCELERATING SMOOTHLY AND THEN, SUDDENLY, LOSE POWER AND ACT LIKE IT IS GOING TO STALL COMPLETELY. IT WILL COUGH AND LURCH AND THEN RESUME ACCELERATING. ON THREE OCCASIONS IT HAS STOPPED ACCELERATING ENTIRELY, FORCING MY SON AND I TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC, WITHOUT POWER STEERING OR BRAKES, AND WAIT UNTIL IT IS READY TO RESUME ACCELERATION. THE FUEL PUMP WAS TESTED AND IS FULLY FUNCTIONAL, AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED A YEAR AGO. ADDITIONALLY, DURING THE TIME PERIODS WHEN IT IS EXHIBITING THIS BEHAVIOR, IT ALSO FAILS TO START ON THE FIRST ATTEMPT. THE IGNITION WILL CRANK CONTINUOUSLY, THE BATTERY HAS POWER, BUT THE ENGINE WILL NOT ENGAGE. THIS HAS BEEN A TEMPORARY/INTERMITTENT ISSUE THAT WOULD 'VANISH' ON REPEATED ATTEMPTS. TODAY IT WILL NOT START AT ALL, LEAVING US STRANDED ONCE AGAIN. THE LAST TIME IT REFUSED TO START ENTIRELY WE WERE AT A REST AREA IN NORTHERN ARIZONA IN 124 DEGREE HEAT FOR HOURS. THIS IS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS AND MECHANICS HAVE TOLD ME THAT IT IS KNOWN TO BE THE TIPM, WHICH IS FAULTY. IF THIS PART IS KNOWN TO BE FAULTY, WHY IS IT NOT RECALLED?

THE VEHICLE WILL STALL WHILE I AM DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. IT HAS HAPPENED MORE TIME THAN I CAN COUNT. INITIALLY I WAS TOLD IT MIGHT BE AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE, SO THEY CHANGED THE SPARK PLUGS. THE CAR DIED AGAIN, HAD TO GET TOWED TO THE MECHANIC AGAIN. THIS TIME THEY SAID IT MIGHT BE THE BATTERIES. I CHANGED THE BATTERIES. THEN IT DIED AGAIN, THEY SAID IT MIGHT BE THE COMPUTERS, MIND YOU THIS IS A 2013 BRAND NEW VEHICLE, I AM CHANGING THE COMPUTER SYSTEM IN 2017 EVEN THOUGH IT HAD OVER 115000 AT THIS POINT. I AUTHORIZED THEM TO KEEP THE VEHICLE AND PUT AS MUCH MILES ON IT UNTIL THE PROBLEM REPLICATED ITSELF. THEY HAD IT FOR OVER 2 MONTHS. I GOT IT BACK IN AND IT DIED ON MY WAY TO WORK AGAIN. THIS TIME I WENT TO A DIFFERENT MECHANIC WHO IS NOT THE DEALER. THEY SAID IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP. I CHANGED THE FUEL PUMP, THE VEHICLE WORKED FOR 1 AND A HALF WEEKS BEFORE IT DIED ON ME AGAIN THIS WEEK ON MY WAY TO WORK. I HAVE CHANGED MOST IF NOT ALL PARTS OF MY FRANKENSTEIN VEHICLE, WHICH MIND YOU IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD. AT THIS POINT I AM SO FRUSTRATED I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. I HAVE SPENT OVER $5000 FIXING MY VEHICLE WITH NO GUARANTEE THAT SHE WILL NOT BREAK DOWN. I HAVE CONTACTED CAPITALONE AUTO FINANCE AND EXPLAINED THAT I CANNOT AFFORD TO KEEP PAYING FOR A CAR THAT I AM NOT USING. I CALLED DODGE TO REPORT THE ISSUE AND THEY SAID THEY CANNOT HELP ME. AT THIS POINT I AM GETTING READY TO FILE A LEMON LAW COMPLAINT AND USING SOCIAL MEDIA TO VOICE MY CONCERNS UNTIL MY ISSUE IS RESOLVED.

Summary

CAR STALLS UNEXPECTEDLY WHILE DRIVING. THE ENGINE STOPS AND THERE IS A COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER. POWER STEERING FAILS AND IT IS DIFFICULT TO MANOUVER VEHICLE. I CAN SUCCESSFULLY RESTART THE VEHICLE BY EITHER STOPPING THE CAR, SHIFTING INTO PARK, AND RESTARTING BY TURNING THE KEY, OR SHIFTING INTO NEUTRAL WHILE THE CAR IS STILL IN MOTION, THEN TURNING THE KEY TO RESTART, AND THEN SHIFTING BACK INTO DRIVE. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 10 TIMES ON THE FREEWAY GOING AT FREEWAY SPEEDS OVER THE PAST YEAR, AND DMORE THAN 50 TIMES ON SURFACE STREETS. OFTEN THIS HAPPENS WHEN HITTING A BUMP IN THE ROAD, BUT SOMETIMES THERE ISN'T AN OBVIOUS CAUSE. ONCE WHILE DRIVING ON A BUMPY DIRT ROAD IT REPEATEDLY STALLED, BUT WHEN I HELD THE KEY IN PLACE, IT STOPPED STALLING. WE HAD THE DEALER LOOK AT IT AND THEY COULDN'T FIND ANY PROBLEMS. WE REPLACED THE KEY THINKING THAT MIGHT HELP, AND IT SEEMED TO FOR A FEW MONTHS, BUT NOW THE PROBLEM IS WORSE THAN EVER, STALLING AT LEAST SEVERAL TIMES A WEEK. IN THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS THE CAR ALMOST ALWAYS WON'T START ON THE INITIAL KEY TURN. I HAVE TO HOLD IT IN START POSITION FOR SEVERAL SECONDS LONGER THAN NORMAL, AND I HAVE TO GIVE IT SOME GAS AND REV THE ENGINE FOR IT TO START. HAVING THE CAR STALL AT ANY POINT WHILE DRIVING IS FRIGHTENING, BUT WHEN THIS HAS HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY, IT IS TERRIFYING AND HORRIBLY DANGEROUS FOR ME, MY FAMILY, AND OTHER VEHICLES AROUND ME.

Summary

THE VAN RANDOMLY AND WITH NO WARNING LOSES POWER STEERING AND LOCKS THE GAS PEDAL SO IT CANNOT BE PRESSED WHILE DRIVING AROUND 25-35 MPH. PUTTING THE VAN IN PARK AND RESTARTING THE CAR FIXES THE PROBLEM. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 8 TIMES IN THE LAST 4 MONTHS. MECHANIC HAS TRIED TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND THE PROBLEM CONTINUES TO BE AN ISSUE. IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN NEAR STOPLIGHTS WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION. IT ALSO SEEMS TO OCCUR WITHIN 10-20 MINUTES OF STARTING THE VEHICLE. ON ONE OCCASION THE BRAKES LOCKED UP WITH THE STEERING. NO ENGINE LIGHTS TURN ON WHEN IT HAPPENS, AND IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM ON DEMAND. THROUGH SOCIAL NETWORKING AND RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM ONLINE MANY OTHER DODGE CARAVANS AND CHRYSLER VANS HAVE HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH NO SOLUTION.

Summary

VEHICLE WOULD NOT START, TOOK TO GARAGE THEY SAID FUEL PUMP, STILL WOULD NOT WORK, TOOK BACK THEY SAID TIPM, HAD IT CHANGED, GOT VAN BACK NOW THE SIGNAL LIGHTS DON'T WORK TOOK BACK THEY TEST IT AND GUESS WHAT TIPM AGAIN, SO NOW AFTER NEARLY 3000 IN REPAIRS AND 800 IN RENTALS I AM WAITING ANOTHER WEEK FOR ANOTHER TIPM NOT IMPRESSED AT ALL. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE IT IS FAR TO COMMON AND SHOULD BE MADE A FULL RECALL, I KNOW OF FOUR FAILURES IN THE LAST WEEK IN MY LITTLE AREA ALONE. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE, THIS PROBLEM CAN AFFECT ANY COMPONENT OF THE VEHICLE FROM BRAKES TO AIR BAGS TO ANYTHING THAT IS RUN BY A FUSE WHICH IS PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING, SOMEONE IS GOING TO BE SERIOUSLY INJURED BECAUSE OF THIS IF THERE HASN'T BEEN ALREADY.

Summary

THE FIRST OCCURRENCE WAS WHEN I WAS DRIVING ON AN INTERSTATE, ABOUT 65 MPH, WHEN THE ENGINE ABRUPTLY STALLED. I CHANGED SEVERAL LANES ONTO THE SHOULDER AND CALL A TOW TRUCK, BUT BEFORE IT ARRIVED, IT WAS ABLE TO START AGAIN, AFTER ~30 MINUTES. THIS SAME BEHAVIOR HAS HAPPENED 4 MORE TIMES (TOTAL OF 5 TIMES IN A YEAR, OR ABOUT 15K MILES), SOMETIMES WEEKS APART, SOMETIMES MONTHS. THE OTHER OCCASIONS WERE SLOWER, 25-40 MPH. THE DODGE DEALERSHIP WAS UNHELPFUL DIAGNOSING THE PROBLEM, AS ALL SYSTEMS APPEAR FINE UNTIL THE PROBLEM APPEARS, WHICH THEY UNSURPRISINGLY COULD NOT PROVOKE. ON EACH OCCASION, WHEN WE TRY TO START THE CAR AGAIN, IT SOUNDS AS IF IT HAS NO FUEL, BUT AFTER ~30 MIN. OF SITTING, IT STARTS AGAIN AND DRIVES JUST FINE. IT IS VERY UNNERVING TO ALWAYS HAVE TO CONSIDER THAT THE CAR MAY SIMPLY STALL, THIS IS ABSOLUTELY A SAFETY CONCERN. CURRENTLY I PLAN TO REPLACE THE TIPM MODULE, AS IT SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN A SOURCE OF PROBLEMS ON MANY CHRYSLER MODELS. I WILL JUST CROSS MY FINGERS THAT IT DOESN'T HAPPEN AGAIN.

Summary

TIPM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT MY COST EVEN THOUGH THIS IS BEEN A PROBLEM IN OTHER DODGE VEHICLES. THE FUEL PUMP RELAY WAS NOT WORKING THE HORN STARTED GOING OFF FOR NO REASON AND THERE WERE STARTING ISSUES, WITH CAR EVENTUALLY STALLING WHILE MOVING. IT WAS OVER $1200 TO FIX. THEN, SIX MONTHS LATER THE CAR IS STILL NOT STARTING ACCURATELY AND WAS FIXED AT MY COST. A GROUND WIRE WAS PUT IN FROM THE BATTERY TO THE TRANSMISSION. I WASTOLD THIS WAS NOT PART OF THE TIPM ISSUE BUT THEY DID NOT KNOW WHAT WAS CAUSING IT. DODGES PROBLEM-SOLVING DATABASE SHOWED THAT THIS PROBLEM WAS FIXED IN OTHER DODGES WITH GROUND WIRE. THIS REPAIR WAS AT MY COST. LASTLY, THE VALVES AND GASKETS AS PART OF THE POWERTRAIN SYSTEM HAVE BEEN REPLACED TWICE IN LESS THAN TWO YEARS. THEY ARE UNDER WARRANTY AND THE REPAIR WAS NO COST TO ME, BUT THEY'VE HAD TO BE REPLACED TWICE.

Summary

SATURDAY 27 MAY 2017, I WAS COMING BACK FROM A GRAND JUNCTION, IOWA CEMETERY VISIT NORTHWEST OF DES MOINES, IOWA AND DRIVING BACK ON A HIGHWAY DOING 64 IN A 65 MPH ZONE, FOLLOWING AN IOWA STATE TROOPER, AND THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON - MY MILEAGE AT THAT EXACT TIME WAS 45419. I DROVE TO MY SISTER-IN-LAW'S HOME IN URBANDALE, IOWA (I DROVE APPROX 11 MILES TO HER HOME AFTER THE LIGHT CAME ON) WHERE WE WERE STAYING OVER THE MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND. THEN I DROVE TO AN O'REILLEY AUTO PARTS STORE. THEY CHECKED MY BATTERY, IT WAS OK, EXCEPT THAT IT WAS AT ABOUT 88%. THEY THEN CHECKED THE ALTERNATOR AND IT WAS NOT CHARGING THE BATTERY. THE TECHNICIAN SAID THAT I COULD DRIVE HOME TO HARLAN, IOWA, A 100 MILE TRIP IF THE BATTERY WERE CHARGED UP FULLY. I WENT BACK TO MY SISTER-IN-LAW'S HOME AND CALLED STEW HANSEN DODGE, WHERE I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE ON 29 AUGUST 2013, AS A NEW VEHICLE WITH 18 MILES ON THE ODOMETER . I TOLD THE PERSON WHO ANSWERED THE PHONE THAT THE "ALTERNATOR" HAD ABRUPTLY STOPPED WORKING, AND ASKED IF I COULD BRING IT IN. IT WAS SATURDAY 27 MAY 2017 AT ABOUT 1 PM. THE SERVICE PERSON SAID THEY WERE OPEN UNTIL 3:30 PM BUT THEY ONLY DID OIL CHANGES ON WEEKENDS. I EXPLAINED MY SITUATION OF LIVING 100 MILES OUT OF DES MOINES, IOWA AND WAS CONCERNED ABOUT GETTING HOME WITH NO ALTERNATOR. SHE SAID SHE WAS SORRY BUT THEY COULDN'T HELP ME UNTIL NEXT WEEK TUESDAY. I WENT BACK TO MY SISTER-IN-LAW'S HOUSE, CHARGED THE BATTERY UP AND DROVE HOME BACK TO HARLAN, IOWA 100 MILES WEST ON MONDAY, 29 MAY 2017. MY MILEAGE NOW AT THIS TIME IS 45540. I DISCOVERED THAT THIS SAME ENGINE WITH THE SAME ALTERNATOR IN "SOME DODGE CHARGERS" HAS THE VERY SAME PROBLEM AND HAS BEEN RECALLED, BUT NO NOTIFICATIONS HAVE BEEN SENT TO OWNERS. I AM GOING TO TRY TO CALL CHRYSLER DODGE THIS MORNING TO INQUIRE IF MY ALTERNATOR IS RECALLED.

Summary

OUR 2013 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN ALTERNATOR AND PCS FAILED AT 68000 MILES. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING WITH MY WIFE AND 4 CHILDREN IN THE CAR. MULTIPLE DASHBOARD LIGHTS CAME ON AND THE THE VEHICLE ENGINE WAS RACING BUT THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT ENGAGE. THE ONLY REASON THERE WAS NOT A CRASH WAS THAT THEY WERE TRAVELING DOWNHILL AND DID NOT NEED TO ACCELERATE AS THE VEHICLE WAS NOT ABLE TO. LUCKILY THEY WERE ABLE TO PULL THE CAR OVER WITHOUT INCIDENT. DODGE HAS RECALLED THIS ALTERNATOR IN OVER 900,000 VEHICLES ON 4 OTHER MODELS WITH THE 3.6 LITER ENGINE BUT HAS NOT IN THE GRAND CARAVAN FOR SOME REASON. I CONTACTED DODGE AND THEY WERE UNWILLING TO HELP IN ANY WAY TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE TO MAKE IT OPERABLE AND SAFE AGAIN. THIS REPAIR WAS QUOTED FORM MY LOCAL DODGE DEALER TO COST OVER $750.

Summary

THERE IS NOT ENOUGH ROOM, TOP TO BOTTOM, TO SAFELY ACCEPT A MEN'S US SIZE 11.5 SHOE. WITH MY HEEL PLANTED ON THE FLOOR, I AM UNABLE TO FREELY PIVOT MY FOOT FROM THE THE GAS PEDAL TO THE BRAKE AND BACK AGAIN. THE TOP OF MY SHOE GETS FIRMLY STUCK TRYING TO MOVE BETWEEN THE TWO PEDALS. IF NOT COMPLETELY STUCK, MY FOOT MOTION IS IMPEDED AND SLOWED DOWN IN MANY OTHER WAYS. ONLY, WITH A LOT OF THOUGHT AND ADJUSTMENT OF MY FOOT AND HEEL POSITION AM I ABLE TO OPERATE THE BRAKE AND ACCELERATOR AT ALL. THIS LOW FOOT CLEARANCE SIGNIFICANTLY LOWERS MY RESPONSE TIME WHEN I NEED TO HIT THE BRAKE IN AN EMERGENCY. IT REQUIRES A LOT OF EXTRA THOUGHT UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS AS WELL, TAKING ATTENTION AWAY FROM THE ROAD. THIS HAS NEVER BEEN AN ISSUE (OR EVEN A THOUGHT) IN MANY YEARS OF DRIVING SEVERAL OTHER MAKES AND MODELS OF VEHICLES. I OWN A 1999 GRAND CARAVAN THAT HAS PLENTY OF FOOT ROOM IN IT. NOBODY SHOULD HAVE TO THINK ABOUT HOW THEY NEED TO SPECIALLY POSITRON THEIR FOOT TO OPERATE THE BRAKE OR ACCELERATOR. FOR SAFE DRIVING, REACTION TIME IS EVERYTHING. DODGE HAS DESIGNED THIS VEHICLE WITH CRAMPED FOOT-ROOM THAT CAN DRASTICALLY REDUCE THE TIME IT TAKES TO ACTIVATE THE BRAKE AND COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT THAT A FREELY AVAILABLE BRAKE PEDAL MAY HAVE AVOIDED. I HAD THE IDENTICAL PROBLEMS TESTING A NEWER DODGE CHARGER AND A CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. I AM MAKING THE ASSUMPTION THAT THIS CRAMPED AND UNSAFE DESIGN IS A STANDARD THAT COVERS MANY CHRYSLER MAKES AND MODELS. THIS ISSUE AFFECTS ALL DRIVING CONDITIONS ESPECIALLY STARTING AND STOPPING THE VEHICLE. SEE 5 PICTURES WITH A SIZE 11.5 SHOE SHOWN. PICS 1-3 SHOW THE BRAKE POSITION AND HOW THE VEHICLE DOES NOT ALLOW ME TO PIVOT BACK ANY FARTHER FROM TO BRAKE. THE GAS POSITION SHOWS A NATURAL PIVOT POSITION WHEN GOING FROM THE GAS TO THE BRAKE. THE FOOT IS STUCK THERE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS.

AFTER APPROX. 10000 MORE MILES, WHILE DRIVING ON A LOCAL ROAD, ALL OF MY LIGHTS APPEARED ON MY DASH BOARD- THE VEHICLE WENT INTO SOME MODE AND I COULDN'T DRIVE OVER 25 MPH. I STOPPED AT A LOCAL AUTO PARTS STORE AND WAS TOLD THAT MY BATTERY NOW HAD A BAD CELL, THE ALTERNATOR WAS BAD- I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND I WAS AGAIN TOLD THE PCM WAS BAD. WHY IS THE PCM FAILING? AN ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY BEING BAD AT GOING AT 46000 MILES, JUST OVER 2 YEARS OLD. I SEE MANY OF THE CHRYSLER PRODUCTS HAD RECALLED ALTERNATORS- WHAT ABOUT THIS PCM? WHY IS CONTINUING TO FAIL?

Summary

ON SEPTEMBER 25, 2015, THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON WHILE TRAVELLING FROM CANADA TO USA AT NIGHT TIME WITH MY WIFE AND TWO YOUNG CHILDREN. BECAUSE I CARRY A VEHICLE SCANNER WITH ME, I PULLED OVER AT A REST STOP AND CHECKED THE VOLTAGE SENSE PID. IT SHOWED 12.5V. THOUGHT THAT WAS ACCEPTABLE AND CONTINUED DRIVING. APROXIMATELY 400 MILES LATER, VEHICLE EXHIBITED SUDDEN LOSS OF MOMENTUM WHILE IN CRUISE CONTROL AT 72MPH, AS I PRESSED ON THE ACCELARATOR, VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTED AND RPMS ROSE TO 4500, HOWEVER VEHICLE SLOWED EVEN MORE AND I HAD TO TAKE EVASIVE ACTION TO GET TO RIGHT SHOULDER. VEHICLE WENT FROM APPROX 72MPH IN CRUISE CONTROL TO 40MPH IN A MATTER OF FEW SECONDS WHILE I WAS TRYING TO ACCELARATE TO SAFELY GET VEHICLE FROM LEFT LANE ON I-495 S TO RIGHT SHOULDER. I AGAIN PLUGGED IN MY SCANNER AND HAD CODE P0622 SHOW UP. AT THIS TIME, CONTROL MODULE VOLTAGE SENSE WAS READING 11V. AFTER ERASING THE CODE AND MULTIPLE IGNITION KEY CYCLING ATTEMPTS, THE VEHICLE STARTED UP, AND EVERYTHING SEEMED FINE, BATTERY LIGHT WENT OUT AND VOLTAGE WAS AGAIN AT 12.5 V, AND CLIMBING. WE MADE IT TO OUR DESTINATION (TAUNTON, MA) AND EVERYTHING SEEMED NORMAL OVER THE COURSE OF THE WEEKEND. ON SEPTEMBER 28, WHILE WE WERE TRAVELLING BACK TO CANADA, WITHIN 40 MILES OF LEAVING TAUNTON, THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN, BUT VERY SHORTLY AFTER THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AGAIN, AND HAD TO SCRAMBLE TO GET VEHICLE PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY (I-495 N). AND IS UNABLE TO RESTART. I CALLED FCA ROAD SIDE ASSISTANCE, AND THEY SENT A TOW TRUCK. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT DAN'S DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP IN WESTBORO, MA, USA AWAITING DIAGNOSTIC.

Summary

WHEN OPENING THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR SLIDING DOOR (EITHER WITH THE CAR KEY OR BY PULLING ON THE DOOR HANDLE), AFTER THE DOOR REACHES ITS FULLY OPEN POSITION, IT SOMETIMES IMMEDIATELY BEGINS TO CLOSE AGAIN. PRESSING THE DOOR OPENING SWITCH ON THE B PILLAR DOES NOT STOP THE DOOR FROM CLOSING. ONLY AN ADULT'S FORCE AGAINST THE DOOR STOPS IT FROM FULLY CLOSING. THIS CREATES AN EXTREME RISK OF INJURY TO CHILDREN WHO ARE MOST LIKELY TO BE USING THE REAR SEATS.

Summary

THE DODGE GRAND CARAVAN IS MADE WITH BRAKES THAT ARE TOO SMALL FOR A LARGE VEHICLE. THIS CAUSES THE BRAKES TO WEAR OUT MORE QUICKLY THAN THEY WOULD WEAR OUT IF THE VAN WAS EQUIPPED WITH PROPER SIZE BRAKES FOR ITS WEIGHT. THE DODGE MINI VAN USES BRAKES THAT CARS 1/2 THE WEIGHT OF THE VAN USE. I BELIEVE THIS IS DONE INTENTIONALLY BY THE MANUFACTURER SO THE BRAKES WEAR OUT QUICKLY AND NEED REPLACEMENT MORE OFTEN THAN THEY SHOULD BE REPLACED IF THE VEHICLE WAS EQUIPPED PROPERLY.

Summary

THE DOOR LOCKS STOPPED WORKING FOR BOTH THE LOCK BUTTON AND THE KEY FOB. THIS BECOMES A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THE SIDE DOORS CAN BE LOCKED MANUALLY, BUT THE LIFT GATE DOES NOT HAVE A MANUAL LOCK. ADDITIONALLY ONLINE RESEARCH SHOWS THAT THE TIPM FAILURE CAN CAUSE CATASTROPHIC EVENTS SUCH AS SUDDEN AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT FOR NO REASON, FAILURE TO START, STALLING WHILE DRIVING, ETC.!! CHRYSLER IS SAID TO BE WELL AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND HAS YET TO INITIATE A RECALL AND WE WERE PLANNING ON A FLORIDA VACATION THIS YEAR (WE LIVE IN OHIO) AND DUE TO THE POSSIBILITY OF GETTING STUCK ON OUR WAY OR ONCE THERE, WE DECIDED NOT TO GO TO THE DISMAY OF OUR KIDS. FIX THIS PROBLEM CHRYSLER AND QUIT SCREWING YOUR CUSTOMERS!!!

Summary

WAS DRIVING DOWN BUSY CITY EXPRESSWAY FRONTAGE ROAD AT APPROX 40 MPH. ACCELERATED AND PASSED THE SLOWER-MOVING VEHICLE AHEAD OF ME....UPON CLEARING THE VEHICLE I WAS PASSING, RELEASED MY FOOT FROM ACCELERATOR, BUT VEHICLE FAILED TO RETURN TO PRIOR PASS SPEED AND INSTEAD CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE FASTER. ATTEMPTED TO BRAKE....PUMPED THE BRAKE HARD WHEN THAT DIDN'T WORK BUT NO LUCK. HELD THE BRAKE PEDAL IN TO THE FLOOR AS FAR AS IT WOULD GO TO COUNTER THE ENGINE AUDIBLY REVING TO GAIN MORE SPEED (HOPING TO SLOW THE ACCELERATE PROCESS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE AND MAYBE HOLD IT AT ITS CURRENT RATE DESPITE THE ENGINE STILL TRYING TO GO FASTER). I RODE OUT THE UNCONTROLLED ACCELERATION ISSUE UNTIL COMING TO A LONG TURN LANE WHERE I VEERED OFF TO GET AWAY FROM OTHER CARS. WTH A BUSY INTERSECTION APPROACHING QUICKLY AHEAD OF ME AND THE BRAKING NOT RESOLVING THE ISSUE, I THREW THE VEHICLE INTO PARK AND AFTER A BRIEF TIME IT FINALLY SLOWED TO A STOP. THIS IS THE ONLY THING THAT WORKED...I EVEN CHECKED TO SEE IF GAS PEDAL WAS PHYSICALLY STUCK SOMEHOW ON THE FLOOR MAT (IT WAS NOT), AND LIFTED UP FROM UNDERNEATH IT WITH MY FOOT TO VERIFY THIS, DURING THIS ATTEMPT TO REGAIN SPEED CONTROL..I BELIEVE IT WAS THIS IN ADDITION TO PUTTING VEHICLE IN "PARK" THAT ACTUALLY STOPPED THE ENGINE ACCELERATION/REV SO THE VEHICLE COULD PHYSICALLY STOP... II IS VALID TO NOTE THAT I PREVIOUSLY TOOK THIS VEHICLE INTO THE DEALERSHIP (AROUND 36000 MILES) FOR EVALUATION WITH PRIOR CONCERNS OVER THE ENGINE/TRANSMISSION NOT SEEMING TO FUNCTION RIGHT/SMOOTHLY....THE DEALERSHIP REPORTED THAT "THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH IT." & IT WAS RETURNED TO ME WITH NO ADJUSTMENT/REPAIR. THIS VEHICLE HAS SEVERAL OF THEORY SAME COMPLAINTS ON THE WEB (ACCELERATION STICK/ENGINE/TRANSMISSION) OVER A SPAN OF SEVERAL YEAR MODELS & NOTHING IS BEING DONE ABOUT IT OR EVEN ACKNOWLEDGING IT...HUGE SAFETY ISSUES HERE.

ACCORDING TO MY SAFETY RECALL... IF YOUR DEALER FAILS OR IS UNABLE TO REMEDY THIS DEFECT WITHOUT CHARGE AND WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME, YOU MAY GO TO HTTP://WWW.SAFERCAR.GOV... SO I AM DOING SO BECAUSE I FEEL IT IS NOT BEING DONE WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME. WE CONTACTED OUR DEALER AND WE WERE NOT ON THE LIST IN FEBRUARY SO THEY ADDED US AND LAST WEEK I CALLED BACK AND THEY SAID THEY HAVEN'T ACQUIRED ANY PARTS TO MAKE ANY FIXES YET. THE UNFORTUNATE PART IS WE SPECIFICALLY PURCHASED OUR VEHICLE WITH THE INTENT TO GO ON A FAMILY VACATION AND IT SURE WOULD BE NICE TO BE ABLE TO CRACK THE REAR WINDOWS WHEN YOU ARE GOING TO BE IN FLORIDA IN JULY. I BELIEVE IT IS UNREASONABLE THAT AT THIS TIME A YEAR THE PROBLEM WAS DISCOVERED IN 2014 AND THEY STILL DON'T HAVE ANY PARTS. THE PARTS DEPARTMENT SAID THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHEN THE PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE. SO TO SUM IT UP MY COMPLAINT IS THEY AREN'T HANDLING THE MATTER IN A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME. *TR

MY REAR QUARTER VENT WINDOWS WERE ON A RECALL AND I TOOK IT TO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP (MAY 2014) WHERE THEY DISCONNECTED THE AUTOMATIC SWITCH TO THE WINDOWS. IT HAS NOW BEEN NON-OPERATIONAL SINCE THEN. I HAVE CONTACTED DODGE CORPORATE OFFICES AND THE DEALERSHIP ON A ROUTINE BASIS TO BE CONSTANTLY TOLD THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHEN THIS WILL BE REPAIRED. THIS IS BEYOND A REASONABLE TIME TO FIX SOMETHING LIKE THIS. PLEASE HELP ME AS I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE MY WINDOWS OPERATIONAL. DODGE SIMPLY DOES NOT SEEM TO CARE AND HAVE NO INTEREST OR PRIORITY IN REPAIRING THIS DEFECT. THANKS *TR

Summary

RECALL P25 FOR REAR VENT WINDOW SWITCH HAS BEEN OUT FOR SIX MONTHS. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND THERE IS STILL NO REPLACEMENT PART. I CONTACTED THE CHRYSLER RECALL NUMBER FOR "MORE INFORMATION"...THEY HAD NONE. SIX MONTHS IS AN UNREASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME. WHY IS THERE NO REPLACEMENT PART? WHEN WILL THERE BE A REPLACEMENT PART? THESE ARE SIMPLE QUESTIONS THAT THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER CANNOT OR WILL NOT ANSWER. I WOULD THINK THAT GIVEN SIX MONTHS THERE WOULD BE SOME EFFORT TO FIX MY CAR OR AT LEAST EXPLAIN WHY THE DELAY AND GIVE AN ESTIMATE OF TIME WHEN THEY INTEND TO FIX IT. SIX MONTHS IS UNREASONABLE. *TR

RECALL #P25/NHTSA 14V-234 WHY IS IT TAKING SO LONG TO GET THIS REPLACEMENT DONE? I GOT THE FIRST NOTICE IN MAY 2014 AND HAVE NOT HEARD A THING SINCE. I HAVE CALLED THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES AND EVEN STOPPED BY, ALSO NO OTHER INFORMATION IN THE MAIL. I REALIZE THAT THE DEALER CAN DISCONNECT THE SWITCH SO THAT THE WINDOWS DO NOT FUNCTION BUT, AS I TOLD THE DEALER, I TRAVEL WITH MY DOGS AND SOMETIMES HAVE TO LEAVE THEM IN THEIR CRATES IN THE VAN OVERNIGHT AT MOTELS (DON'T ALLOW THE IN THE ROOMS) AND THE FEW THAT DO ALLOW DOGS IN ROOMS, CHARGE AN ADDITIONAL FEE. FACT IS-- I NEED TO HAVE PROPER VENTILATION FOR THEM. I PURCHASED THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THE VENTILATION THE WINDOWS PROVIDE. THIS IS A REAL INCONVENIENCE, ESPECIALLY FOR THIS LENGTH OF TIME. *TR

Summary

MY WIFE WAS TRAVELING WITH OUR DAUGHTER ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE INSTRUMENT LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING, RADIO WENT OFF, AND THE CAR BEGAN POWERING DOWN. THANKFULLY SHE WAS ABLE TO SAFELY PULL OFF THE HIGHWAY INTO A PARKING LOT JUST AS IT SHUT DOWN. THE VEHICLE WOULDN'T RESTART. I HAD TO LEAVE WORK EARLY AND MEET HER WITH JUMPER CABLES. IN THE MEANTIME I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP WHERE WE PURCHASED THIS CAR NEW IN OCTOBER OF 2012. THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE KINDLY TOLD ME THAT BECAUSE WE HAD 42K MILES ON IT THAT IT WAS OUTSIDE OF THE 3/36000 WARRANTY. I EXPRESSED COMPLETE DISGUST WITH THIS BECAUSE WE CONSIDER THIS A NEW (AND OUR DEPENDABLE) VEHICLE THAT IS ONLY 20 MONTHS OLD. I MANAGED TO CHARGE THE BATTERY AND LIMP THE CAR HOME. I REMOVED THE ALTERNATOR AND FOUND ONE OF THE SLIP RINGS ALONG WITH ONE BRUSHES COMPLETELY WORN DOWN TO NOTHING. IT'S CLEARLY A DEFECTIVE ALTERNATOR THAT RESULTED IN A VERY DANGEROUS DRIVING SITUATION DUE TO LOSS OF POWER AT 60MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. CHRYSLER CUSTOMER CARE AND THE DEALERSHIP HAD NO SYMPATHY AND EVEN AFTER BRINGING THE ALTERNATOR INTO THE DEALERSHIP THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THEY WOULD NEED TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP SO THEY COULD "DIAGNOSE" IT AND STILL COULDN'T GUARANTEE A WARRANTIED REPLACEMENT. THE DEALERSHIP WANTED ME TO RE-INSTALL THE FAILED ALTERNATOR AND THEN GET THE CAR TO THEM SOME 30 MILES AWAY IN SOME CHANCE OF THEM COVERING THE COST TO REPLACE IT......SO I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW ALTERNATOR FROM ANOTHER DEALERSHIP AT THE TUNE OF $400 AND INSTALLED IT MYSELF. I ALSO HAVE SUBMITTED A CLAIM TO CHRYSLER FOR A FULL REFUND....... *TR

THE CONSUMER RETURNED TO THE REPAIR SHOP AGAIN, ONLY TO BE TOLD HIS WIFE DID NOT KNOW HOW TO DRIVE. THE CONSUMER STATED THE TRANSMISSION WOULD SLIP OUT OF GEAR, BUT NO ONE COULD DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. ON 2 OCCASIONS, WHILE THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS SET, THE VEHICLE WENT TO PASSING GEAR FOR NO REASON. IT ALSO HAPPENED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS NOT SET ON CRUISE CONTROL. A YEAR LATER, THE PROBLEMS CONTINUED. THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN, THE VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN TO 25 MPH, THE CONSUMER HAD TO PUSH THE ACCELERATOR TO THE FLOOR, BEFORE IT WOULD CHANGE SPEED USING THE PASSING GEAR. *JB

NEITHER AIR BAGS WENT OFF AND MY GRANDDAUGHTER WAS ALSO IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. HE WAS GOING FAST ENOUGH THAT I ENDED UP NORTHBOUND KITTY CORNER ACROSS THE ROAD AND HE ENDED UP IN A TELEPHONE POLE. BOTH OF HIS AIRBAGS WENT OFF IN HIS TRUCK UPON IMPACT. THE BUMPER, HEADLIGHTS, FRAME WAS BENT, THE HOOD, THE WHOLE FRONT END WAS SMASHED, (OVER $8000 OF DAMAGE), BUT NO AIRBAGS. I COULD FEEL THE IMPACT FROM THE CRASH AND ENDED UP HAVING TO HAVE PHYSICAL THERAPY AND MY GRANDDAUGHTER HAD TO GO TO THE ER.. BOTH VEHICLES HAD TO BE TOWED. I HAD THE VAN FIXED AT A LICENSED SHOP, WHEN I CALLED AND ASKED DODGE WHY NEITHER AIRBAG DEPLOYED, BECAUSE THEY STATED THAT THEIR ARE SENSORS THAT GO OFF ON IMPACT AND MY BUMPER HAD TO BE REPLACED, THEY STATED, NO REPLY, BECAUSE I HAD NOT HAD IT DONE AT A DODGE DEALERSHIP. I AM STILL HAVING THERAPY FOR HIP AND BACK FROM IMPACT AND SETTLED WITH INSURANCE. I'M JUST WONDERING WHY THE AIRBAGS DID NOT GO OFF ON IMPACT, OTHER VEHICLE WAS GOING FASTER THAN WHAT HE SHOULD HAVE FOR CONDITIONS AND MORE THAN 25. *TR

Summary

MY 2013 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN WAS PURCHASED NEW DURING FEB. OF 2013. SHORTLY AFTER THE PURCHASE OF THIS VEHICLE I NOTICED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING. THE TRANSMISSION THEN STARTED TO GO INTO MANUAL MODE FOR NO REASON. I HAVE ALSO BEEN DRIVING AND THE VAN LOSES ALL POWER TO THE FRONT WHEELS. ALL OF THE PROBLEMS LISTED HAPPEN INTERMITTENTLY. DURING THE FIRST FOUR TRIPS TO MULTIPLE DODGE DEALERSHIPS THEY STATED THEY COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM AND NO ERRORS WERE SHOWING UP IN THE COMPUTER. WHEN THE NEXT INCIDENT OCCURRED I VIDEO TAPED IT. ON THE FIFTH TRIP TO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP THEY AGREED THERE WAS A PROBLEM AFTER REVIEWING THE VIDEO. THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN WORKED ON MY VAN BUT THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP DID CHANGE THE SHIFTER TO SEE IF THAT WOULD TAKE CARE OF THE ISSUE. IT DIDN'T. THE VAN NOW HAS 11000 MILES ON IT AND I HAVE BEEN FORCED TO FILE UNDER THE LEMON LAWS BECAUSE CHRYSLER HAS FAILED TO TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM. *TR

Summary

THE DAY I PICKED UP THIS NEW 2013 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN SE/AVP (6-8-13) I NOTICED A NOISE UPON DECELERATION, JUST BEFORE STOPPING; AND ALSO WHEN ON A NEIGHBORHOOD STREET AND GOING 15 TO 20 MPH. AS BEST I CAN DESCRIBE IT, IT SOUNDS LIKE A TURKEY CALL COMING FROM THE AREA IN FRONT OF THE DRIVER. IF CAR IS SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL THE NOISE STOPS. DROVE CAR FOR 500 MILES HOPING NOISE WOULD STOP, THEN BROUGHT IT TO DEALER. DEALER CALLS IT A "FLUTTER" CALL IT WHAT YOU WANT, THEY CHECKED EVERYTHING OVER UNDER THE HOOD AND COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING. THEY SAID THEY WOULD REFER IT TO CHRYSLER. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH CHRYSLER. SINCE THE FIRST TIME, CAR HAS BEEN BACK TO DEALER TWO MORE TIMES. LAST TIME CHRYSLER TOLD THEM TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY. THIS DID NOT WORK. SO NOW THEY ARE JUST GUESSING. I ASKED CHRYSLER TO SEND A FACTORY MAN TO CHECK IT OUT, THEY SAID THEY CAN'T DO THAT, THEY HAVE TO WORK WITH THE DEALER. I'VE ASKED THEM FOR A "LONER" CAR BUT THEY REFUSED SAYING MY CAR IS STILL DRIVABLE. DEALER SAYS THEY CAN DO NOTHING MORE UNTIL THEY HEAR FROM CHRYSLER. I BOUGHT THIS VAN TO TAKE THINGS TO VIRGINIA THIS SUMMER AND TO FLORIDA THIS WINTER. I HAVE NO CONFIDENCE IN IT FOR A LONG TRIP. I CANCELLED MY VIRGINIA TRIP AND LOST A NIGHT'S DEPOSIT ON A HOTEL ROOM. I ASKED THEM TO TAKE THE CAR BACK AND GIVE ME ANOTHER ONE, AND OF COURSE THEY SAID NO. THIS IS PROBABLY GOING TO END UP VIA THE LEMON LAW IN COURT. *TR
