2011 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN Complaints

WOULD NOT START . DEALER SAID WAS TIPM. OTHER PEOPLE WITH VEHICLE LIKE MINE SAID THEIRS DID SAME THING THEN STALLED ON ROAD AND GOT REAR ENDED THANK GOD THAT PART DIDN'T HAPPEN TO ME BUT IT COULD HAVE. SAFETY ISSUE ???? I HAD TROUBLE GETTING IT TO START THEN I COULD HERE SOMETHING RUNNING IN THE BACK BY GAS CAP DIDN'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS. THE NEXT MORNING I WENT OUT TO TRY TO START IT AND THE BATTERY WAS DEAD. THE PUMP IN THE GAS TANK WAS WHAT WAS RUNNING AND DRAINED THE BATTERY. GOT A JUMP FROM REPAIR PLACE IN TOWN. DROVE IT WHEN I GOT HOME AND THEN HAVE TO LEAVE IN MORNING IT WOULD NOT START LIKE IT WASN'T GETTING ANY GAS. TURNED OVER JUST WOULD NOT FIRE. HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO DEALER. ONLY HAD 86000 MILES ON IT.

CAR WILL BE IN MOTION AND LOSES ALL POWER WITHOUT WARNING. PER FORUMS I HAVE SEEN THIS IS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM BUT THERE IS NO RECALL.

OUR FAMILY PURCHASED A DODGE GRAND CARAVAN 2011 IN OCTOBER OF 2018. WITHIN TWO WEEKS OF PURCHASING THE VEHICLE, IT BROKE DOWN ON THE FREEWAY. IT ACTED A S IF IT HAD RUN OUT OF GAS. IT LOST ALL POWER AND THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT. ONCE I GOT OVER TO THE SHOULDER, I TRIED RESTARTING IT. IT WOULD MAKE NOISE LIKE IT WAS GOING TO START, BUT WOULD NOT FIRE ALL THE WAY BACK UP. AFTER ABOUT 10-20 MINUTES, I TRIED AGAIN AND IT STARTED BACK UP. WE WENT TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP, BECAUSE WE NEED A SAFE, RELIABLE VEHICLE FOR OUR FAMILY, BUT THE DEALERSHIP HAD GONE OUT OF BUSINESS. THE EXACT ISSUE HAS REPEATED 8 TIMES, SINCE THE FIRST TIME IN OCTOBER. THERE IS NEVER ANY WARNING AND YOU HAVE VERY LITTLE TIME TO TRY AND COAST SOMEWHERE ONCE THE VEHICLE STOPS WORKING. AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, IT IS VERY STRESSFUL WITH LITTLE KIDS. ALSO, WE LIVE IN UTAH, WHERE THERE IS MOUNTAINS AND CANYONS AND SNOW AND SWITCHBACKS, MAKING IT EVEN MORE PERILOUS. AFTER RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM, WE SEE THAT THERE ARE MANY DODGE VEHICLES HAVING THE SAME ISSUE, YET NO RECALL HAS BEEN DONE TO MAKE THIS RIGHT. PLEASE FIX THIS! WE DON'T WANT TO DIE!

VEHICLE STALLS/DIES WHILE DRIVING. MY FAMILY WAS ON THE FREEWAY AND THE DODGE CARAVAN JUST DIED. LIGHTS STILL WORKED BUT ENGINE SUDDENLY QUIT RUNNING. HAD TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AFTER ALMOST BEING RUN OVER BY OTHER VEHICLES. A POLICE OFFICER HAD TO PUSH VEHICLE OFF OF FREEWAY. THIS HAS HAPPENED INTERMITTENTLY ON CITY STREETS AND 3 TIMES ON THE FREEWAY. IT HAPPENS AT SLOW AND FAST SPEEDS. IT IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE AND SCARY. WE HAD A FUEL PUMP RELAY BYPASS INSTALLED AS WE'VE READ THIS COULD BE THE PROBLEM. BUT VEHICLE STILL DIES WHILE DRIVING. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET HURT OR KILLED. PLEASE HELP!

THE HORN HONKS AND THE DOORS LOCK WHENEVER THEY FEEL LIKE IT. SCARED IT WILL LOCK MY KIDS IN THE VEHICLE. IT STARTED ON ITS OWN LAST NIGHT. WE HAD TO UNHOOK BATTERY OF FEAR IT WOULD START AGAIN. THE TIPM IS CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO DO RANDOM THINGS IT WOULDNT NORMALLY DO. LIKE SHUT OFF WHILE OPERATING WITH NO NOTICE OR JUST NOT START.

THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. I RESEARCHED IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS ON AIRBAGS FOR MY VEHICLE AND IT WAS FOUND THERE IS. WHAT CAN I DO ABOUT THIS?
