I WAS DRIVING ON A 2 LANE STATE ROUTE LAST NIGHT AROUND 55 MILES PER HOUR. I WAS BEHIND 4 VEHICLES. MY 2010 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN HAS 113,982 MILES ON IT SUDDENLY WENT WILD OPEN, I PASSED 2 OF THE CARS AND THANK GOD THERE WAS NO ONE COMING THE OTHER WAY. I WAS ON THE BRAKES AS HARD AS I COULD PUSH. I PULLED IN BETWEEN THE 2 MIDDLE CARS AND HAD TO TURN THE ENGINE OFF AND GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. WHAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT THIS? THANKS, WOULD APPRECIATE ANY HELP I CAN GET.

OFTEN AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE AND IN DRIVE IT WILL AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF. I HAVE TO PUT IN NEUTRAL AND TURN IGNITION OVER AGAIN TO MAKE IT DRIVE AGAIN. THIS HAPPENS AT STOP LIGHTS, CITY STREETS AND EXPRESSWAYS. THE RADIO AND AIR WILL STILL WORK BUT I'M JUST COASTING WITH NO POWER STEERING.

REAR BRAKES WEAR OUT INCREDIBLY FAST. THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKE CALIPER NOT RELEASING, WHICH SEEMS TO BE CAUSING THE REAR BRAKE WEAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO JIM CLICK JEEP (701 W AUTO MALL DR, TUCSON, AZ 85705, (866) 933-1114) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED A WIRELESS CONTROL MODULE IGNITION REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 171,000.

GOING ROUGHLY 55/60 MPH A DEER HIT MY DRIVERS SIDE OF THE VAN, TOTALLY MY VAN. AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND WHEN LOOKING AT THE DAMAGE TO MY VAN I WAS TOLD THAT MY AIR BAGS SHOULD OF DEPLOYED. THE DAMAGE TO MY VAN WAS CONSIDERED A "TOTAL LOSS" AS WELL AS I WENT THROUGH MASSAGE THERAPY AND CHIROPRACTIC CARE.

THE ENGINE TURNS OFF WHILE DRIVING. IT HAPPENS AT ANY SPEED. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE ESP INDICATOR LIGHTS. WHEN YOU COAST TO A STOP AND PUT THE CAR IN PARK, IT WILL RESTART.

WHILE DRIVING AT 35-40MPH ON A RURAL ZONE THE STEERING WHEEL SUDDENLY FELT 'LOCKED' AND WAS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO STEER. AT THE SAME TIME THE BRAKES WERE HARD TO PRESS AND THE TRACTION CONTROL DASH LIGHT CAME ON. MY WIFE WAS DRIVING AND FRIGHTENED HER VERY MUCH. THE ROAD HAS A SLIGHT CURVE IN IT AND HAS ONCOMING TRAFFIC IN THE OPPOSITE LANE. SHE HAD TO FORCIBLY STEER THE VAN AS BEST SHE COULD AGAINST THE SIDEWALK CURB TO HELP SLOW DOWN THE VAN. IF SHE HAD MADE IT TO THE FREEWAY WHEN THIS HAPPENED I DON'T THINK THE RESULTS WOULD BE THE SAME AS FAR AS HER SAFETY. I LOOKED UP THE SYMPTOMS AND FOUND IT TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM AND THAT EVEN A RECALL MIGHT BE IN PLACE FOR THIS ISSUE. PLEASE FORWARD ME ANY INFO THAT WILL HELP ME CORRECT THIS PROBLEM.
