2013 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN Complaints

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON, THE CAR SHUT OFF ENTIRELY AFTER HITTING A BUMP. THE RPM WENT DOWN TO 0 AND THE GAS PEDAL DID NOT WORK. EVERYTHING SEEMED FINE AS WE WERE DRIVING. WE DID NOT HAVE ANY WARNING LIGHTS OR CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS. THE CAR SIMPLY SHUT OFF AT 80 MPH. ATTEMPTS TO TURN THE CAR BACK ON DID NOT WORK. THIS HAS NOW HAPPENED ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS. THANKFULLY WE WERE ABLE TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD SAFELY EACH TIME. WE AREN'T SURE IF THIS IS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM, SINCE CRUISE CONTROL WAS ON WHEN THE CAR SHUT OFF.

MY PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR IN A PERMANENT LOCKED POSITION. I AM NOT ABLE TO EVEN MANUALLY OPEN THE DOOR. THIS IS SECURITY ISSUE.

BAD TIPM MODULE, HAD MY FUEL PUMP REPLACED AND THE BATTERY AND NOW THE REPAIR SHOP SAYS THE MODULE IS BAD AND IT KEEPS TURNING THE NEW FUEL PUMP ON AND OFF AND IT WILL RUIN BOTH OF THOSE NEW PARTS IF IT IS NOT FIXED. ALL THE CHRYSLER AND DODGE TRUCKS HAVE HAD A RECALL ON THIS, WHY NOT THE DODGE VANS. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE.

THE VANS ENGINE SHUTS OFF WHEN COMING TO A STOP, THIS HAS HAPPENED OVER A DOZEN TIMES. THE MECHANIC CAN FIND NOTHING WRONG BECAUSE NO CODES OR LIGHT COME ON. THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM.

THE PASSENGER SEAT HEADREST DEPLOYED, THE PASSENGER WAS ADJUSTING THE SEAT TO MOVE BACK AND ADJUSTING THE ANGLE OF THE SEAT. THERE WAS NO CAR ACCIDENT TO ACTIVATE THIS ACTION. IT WAS STARTLING TO HEAR THIS AND SEE THIS. IT IS HIGHLY DEFECTIVE IN IT'S ACTIVISION MECHANISM. THE DEALER WANTS TO CHARGE TO FIX THIS IN THE $1000. I SEE NO LOGICAL REASON FOR THE HEAD REST AND NOW I CAN SEE IF IT DEPLOYED ON THE DRIVER'S SEAT, CAUSING AN ACCIDENT.*DT CONSUMER STATED HEAD REST HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED.*JB

MY VAN JUST SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. THERE WAS NO WARNING. IT JUST STOPPED WORKING. FORTUNATELY, I WAS IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD AND NOT GOING FAST. I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE VAN AND PUT IN PARK AND START IT AGAIN WITHOUT DIFFICULTY . I HAVE READ ONLINE THAT DODGE KNOWS THIS IS A PROBLEM. THIS NEEDS TO BE A MANDATORY RECALL.

THE LOCK/UNLOCK BUTTON ON DRIVER SIDE DOOR STOPPED WORKING, REAR GATE IS CLOSED TIGHT BUT INDICATOR SAYS IT'S OPEN AND ALL INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON WHILE DRIVING

I STARTED TO HAVE A PROBLEM STARTING MY VAN I CALLED MY MECHANIC AND HE ASKED ME WHAT HAPPENED I TOLD HIM THAT I TRIED TO START THE VAN IT DOESN'T START IMMEDIATELY I HAVE TO TRY SEVERAL TIMES AND AFTER A WHILE THE BATTERY WILL BE DEAD IN THE MORNING AND I STARTED TO DISCONNECT MY BATTERY TERMINAL HE SAID HE SEEN THIS PROBLEM BEFORE IT'S VERY COMMON IN DODGE GRAND CARAVAN IT'S THE TIPM ( THE FUSE BOX ) THE FUEL PUMP RELAY IS WELDED INTO THE FUSE BOX AND CAN NOT BE REPLACED AND IF IT GOES BAD IT WILL COST 1200 $ TO REPLACE THAT IS CRAZY IF THIS WAS TOYOTA THE COST OF FUEL PUMP RELAY IS NO MORE THAN 20 TO 30 DOLLARS IT'S A BAD DESIGN AND DODGE SHOULD PAY FOR IT

ACCORDING TO THE DODGE DEALER THAT IS HANDLING THE CAR THERE IS A DEFECT WITH THE TYPUN <THE WAY IT WAS EXPLAINED IT'S THE BRAIN THAT READS THE KEY> 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.
