TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE CARAVAN. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. AFTER RESTARTING, THE VEHICLE RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION. THE FAILURE RECURRED SPORADICALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ONLY AFTER BEING REPAIRED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V373000 (AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM).

ADDITIONALLY, THE THERMOSTAT HOUSING WIRING HARNESS WAS REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. PRIOR TO THE RECALL REPAIR, THE ENGINE WOULD SHUT OFF IF THE GEAR LEVER WAS SLIGHTLY TOUCHED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE CARAVAN. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V373000 (AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE.

MY 2010 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN STALLS 5 TO 10 TIMES PER WEEK. IT STALLS AT ANY SPEED AND AT ANY TIME (WARM OR COLD). SINCE THE DODGE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT FIND THE ISSUE (HATS OFF TO THEIR INEPTITUDE), AFTER FURTHER RESEARCH, I LEARNED THE ISSUE IS DUE TO FAILURE OF THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE (TIPM) AND AFFECTS OTHER DODGE/CHRYSLER PRODUCTS . SEE NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: DP14004. HOWEVER, NHTSA STANCE ON THIS IS 'EXCEPT INSOFAR AS THE PETITIONER'S CONTENTIONS RELATE TO THE DEFECT CONDITION ADDRESSED BY THE CHRYSLER RECALLS, THE FACTUAL BASES OF THE PETITIONER'S CONTENTIONS THAT ANY FURTHER INVESTIGATION IS NECESSARY ARE UNSUPPORTED. IN OUR VIEW, ADDITIONAL INVESTIGATION IS UNLIKELY TO RESULT IN A FINDING THAT A DEFECT RELATED TO MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY EXISTS OR A NHTSA ORDER FOR THE NOTIFICATION AND REMEDY OF A SAFETY-RELATED DEFECT AS ALLEGED BY THE PETITIONER AT THE CONCLUSION OF THE REQUESTED INVESTIGATION. THEREFORE, IN VIEW OF THE NEED TO ALLOCATE AND PRIORITIZE NHTSA'S LIMITED RESOURCES TO BEST ACCOMPLISH THE AGENCY'S SAFETY MISSION, THE PETITION IS DENIED'. THIS WILL ONLY BE RESOLVED WHEN SOMEONE DIES OR THE NHTSA TAKES OUR 'CONTENTIONS' SERIOUSLY.

ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH LIGHT UP, THE WIPERS START AND CAN'T BE STOPPED, ALL THE WINDOWS WON'T GO UP OR DOWN, THE DOOR LOCKS WON'T WORK AND WORST OF ALL THE GAS GAUGE, SPEEDOMETER, AND OTHER DASH INDICATORS GO DEAD SHOWING NO ACTION. THIS ALL HAPPENS UNANNOUNCED AT ANY TIME DRIVING OR STILL. IT CAN HAPPEN WITH JUST TURNING THE KEY ON TO START THE CAR.THE MOST RECENT TIME, 2/10/16 THE DEALER REPAIR SAID THERE WERE A TOTAL OF 24 DIFFERENT CODES SAVED THAT DID CONFLICT WITH EACH OTHER.

TIPM ELECTRICAL FIRE WHILE VAN WAS PARKED. STARTED AFTER PUSHING THE DOOR LOCK ON MY KEY FOB. CHRYSLER SENT AN INDEPENDENT ADJUSTER OUT ON 2/2/16. HAVE NOT HEARD FROM CHRYSLER YET. THIS IS THE 2ND TIME MY VAN HAS HAD AN ELECTRICAL FIRE. 1ST TIME WAS OCTOBER 2014 - HAD TO REPLACE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IN THE VAN. I SAVED THE 2 BOXES WORTH OF BURNED HARNESSES/PARTS JUST IN CASE. I PAID $6,000 OUT OF POCKET LAST TIME. FIRE DEPARTMENT CAME AND DISCONNECTED BATTERY AND FUSE BOX. NO FLAMES OR INJURIES.

I HAVE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE 3 TIMES. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALER NEMOURS TIMES TRYING TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. THEY ARE TELLING ME THAT PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. ALSO I HAVE REPLACED THE BREAKS 4 TIMES THE FIRST TIME WAS AT 17,659 MILES. I ALSO HAD TO REPLACE THE UPPER COOLING LINES. I JUST NOTICED THAT THE LOWER COOLING PIPE IS RUSTING VERY BAD TO THE POINT OF FAILURE. WE HAD TROUBLE WITH THE ELECTRONICS SINCE THE PURCHASE OF THE VAN. WE PURCHASED THE VAN BRAND NEW. THE DOORS WERE LOCKING BY THERE SELF THE HEATING/COOLING CONTROLS HAD TO BE REPLACED. I WOULD LIKE TO RESOLVE THESE ISSUES.
