2010 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN Complaints

I HAVE A 2010 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN WITH THE 4.0 LITER MOTOR, 6 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. MY VAN JUST PASSED 119,000 MILES AND IT JUST STARTED TO SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 30-40 MPH, ON CITY STREETS. THIS IS A MAJOR CONCERN AS I TRANSPORT MY CHILDREN AROUND. I HAVE NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AND I HOPE NOT TO ANYTIME SOON. I'VE BEEN READING FORUMS ONLINE AND MANY CHRYSLER OWNERS ARE SAYING IT COULD BE ANYTHING FROM THE EGR VALVE, TO THE IGNITION SWITCH AND EVEN BAD BATTERY. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS NOT ON SO NO CODES TO DECODE. PLEASE FIX THIS MAJOR PROBLEM BEFORE PEOPLE GET HURT DRIVING THESE VEHICLES

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, A DEER JUMPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD CAUSING A CRASH. THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE AIR BAG AND DRIVER'S SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAG PARTIALLY DEPLOYED DUE TO IT BEING PUNCTURED BY AN UNKNOWN COMPONENT OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE FENDER WAS DAMAGED AND THE BRACKET WAS BENT DURING THE IMPACT. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURES WAS NOT DETERMINED. POLICE REPORT NUMBER: 19-2687 WAS FILED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED. THE MANUFACTURER AND LOCAL DEALER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 217,000.

WHILE DRIVING MY VAN JUST SHUTS OFF I HAVE NO STEERING IT JUST STOPS. IT IS CURRENTLY AT A DEALERSHIP IN INDIANA PENNSYLVANIA CALLED TRI STAR. I SAW THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS AND THEY ARE STATING I HAD IT FIXED IN 2016. IT IS HAPPENING AGAIN. SHOULD THIS NOT BE YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO FIX. I HAVE TWO SMALL CHILDREN WITH ME. 18 MONTHS AND 4 MONTHS I WANT PEACE OF MIND THEY WILL BE SAFE.

WHILE DRIVING THE 2010 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN IT WILL JUST SHUT DOWN. WHILE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM I FOUND 2 RECALLS FOR ELECTRICAL ISSUES BOTH HAVING TO DO WITH THE VEHICLE SHUTTING DOWN WHILE DRIVING. WHEN I ENTERED MY VIN IT SHOWED ONE THAT NEEDED THE IGNITION AND FOBS REPLACED. WE TOOK IT TO OUR LOCAL DEALER TRI-STAR OF INDIANA AND THEY SAY THE RECALL WAS COMPLETED IN JUNE OF 2016. I CAN'T FIND ANY PAPERWORK ON THIS AND IT STILL SHOWS UP. EVEN IF IT WAS DONE, IT'S OBVIOUS IT NEEDS DONE AGAIN BECAUSE THEIR REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE DEFECTIVE JUST LIKE THE ONES THEY REPLACED. I ALREADY INFORMED THEM IF ANYTHING HAPPENS TO MY FAMILY OR ME WHILE DRIVING THIS, THEY WILL BE THE FIRST NAMES ON THE LAW SUIT THE DODGE FOR NOT FIXING THE ISSUE CORRECTLY THE FIRST TIME. THIS HAPPENS IN TOWN, ON COUNTRY ROADS, SITTING AT STOP LIGHTS. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED MY DAUGHTER WAS TAKING HER KIDS TO THE DOCTOR ON TUESDAY 12/3/2019.

THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE ALL HAPPENING WITHIN SEVERAL MONTHS. WE FIRST HAD ISSUES WITH THE TIRE TREAD, THEN A HOLE IN THE WATER HOSE AND RADIATOR, A HOLE IN THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD. THEN IT WAS BROKEN PIECES IN THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. NOW THE CURRENT ISSUE IS EITHER THE BRAKES SEIZED UP OR THE THE CALIBER IS STUCK AND WE ARE CURRENTLY UNABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE.

FEBRUARY MY HUSBAND AND I FINANCED THIS CAR AND WITHIN LESS THAN ONE MONTH WE BEEN EXPERIENCING ONE ISSUE AFTER ANOTHER. FIRST, THE HEATER HOSE HAD A HOLE IN IT THEN AFTER THAT WAS THE RADIATOR THEN AFTER WE REPLACED THOSE TWO NOW WE HAVE A ISSUE WITH THE EXHAUST MODIFIER AS WELL A ISSUE WITH THE BRAKES TODAY THE TIRES LOCKED UP ON US. COULD BE RELATED TO THE ISSUES THATS BEEN REPORTED ON THE NEWER DODGE GRAND CARAVANS.

MY VAN WAS REPAIRED UNDER A FACTORY RECALL ON MARCH 21, 2016. ON PAPER, IT'S CALLED "R-03 IGNITION MODE". PRIOR TO THAT THE CAR WOULD HAVE TROUBLE STARTING, SOMETIMES NOT ABLE TO START IT AT ALL. THE REPAIR FIXED IT AND I WAS ISSUED A NEW KEY. ABOUT A YEAR AGO, IT STARTED AGAIN. THIS TIME THOUGH, IT ALWAYS STARTS AFTER IT TURNS OVER FOR 3-10 SECONDS. OCCASIONALLY IT WON'T START THE FIRST TIME BUT ALWAYS STARTS ON THE SECOND TRY. WE HAVE HAD IT TO A MECHANIC OVER THE PAST YEAR THREE DIFFERENT TIME, AND THEY ALL THINK IT'S A PROBLEM THAT THE DEALERSHIP NEEDS TO HANDLE. THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND THE PROBLEM DESPITE US SPENDING OVER $500 REPLACING THINGS THEY THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE. I HAVE TRIED USING THE OTHER KEY AND THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPENS. THE PROBLEM HAS GOTTEN WORSE OVER THE MONTHS. AT FIRST IT WOULD ONLY DO IT ONCE IN AWHILE. FOR THE PAST SIX MONTHS AT LEAST, IT DOES IT EVERY TIME I TRY TO START THE CAR.
