2010 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN Complaints

MY WIFE'S 2010 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN IS EXPERIENCING THE EXACT ISSUE DESCRIBED IN RECALL L02 AND DESCRIBED HERE... HTTPS://REPAIRPAL.COM/RECALL/11V139000 BUT OUR VIN NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. DETAILS OF THE ISSUE: WHEN DRIVING ON VARIOUS STREETS (MORE OFTEN WHEN ON NEIGHBORHOOD STREETS), THE VAN RANDOMLY SHUTS OFF. THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS REMAIN ON. THE VAN CAN BE PUT INTO NEUTRAL OR PARK AND RESTARTED WITHOUT ISSUE. IT HAS HAPPENED ABOUT EIGHT TIMES IN THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS AND A FEW TIMES IN DANGEROUS SITUATIONS. IT HAPPENS WHEN DRIVING STRAIGHT OR TURNING.

CAR STALLS OUT OF NOWHERE AND I LOSE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON AFTER IT'S STALLED. I HAVE NEARLY GOTTEN INTO AN ACCIDENT TWICE BUT IT HAS STALLED MORE THAN THAT. IT WAS IN MOTION FROM SPEEDS OF 25-40 MPH ON CITY STREETS. TWICE ON A TURN AND 6 TIMES GOING STRAIGHT.

THE TIPM (TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE) IS EITHER DEFECTIVE, OR DAMAGED FROM WEATHER EXPOSURE. SPARATIC POWER ISSUES ARE PRESENT CAUSING ODD THINGS TO GO WRONG, FROM THE BATTERY BEING DRAINED, TO BACKLIGHT FLICKERING ON THE DASH, TO UPON EXITING THE VEHICLE ATTEMPTING TO LOCK VEHICLE TO ONLY HAVE IT UNLOCK AGAIN, TO ALSO UPON LOCKING, HAVING THE FRONT WINDOWS RANDOMLY GO DOWN.

THE VEHICLE HAS SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 15 TIMES OVER THE LAST 2 YEARS. WHILE DRIVING, USUALLY AT SLOWER SPEEDS BUT ONCE ON THE FREEWAY AND A FEW TIMES AT ABOUT 45 MPH, THE ABS LIGHT COMES ON AND THEN EVERYTHING SHUTS OFF -- ENGINE, POWER STEERING, BRAKES -- EVERYTHING. IT IS A MIRACLE IT HASN'T KILLED US YET. WE HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY CAN NOT REPLICATE IT OR FIND ANY CODE THAT IS THE PROBLEM. IT IS NOT THE IGNITION RECALL AS WE HAVE HAD THAT FIXED. DURING MY RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR TORSION BAR ON THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE FRACTURED WITHOUT WARNING . THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE AND OPENED CASE NUMBER: 32536002. THE MANUFACTURER ADVISED THE CONTACT TO PROVIDE HIS FAILURE AND REPAIR DOCUMENTATION. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 31,241.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE CARAVAN. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE TIRE PRESSURE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE DROVE ABNORMALLY. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO PULL THE VEHICLE OVER SAFELY. WHEN THE CONTACT EXITED THE VEHICLE, SHE OBSERVED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER TIRE FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR, WHICH WAS CONNECTED TO THE STEM FRACTURED, AND CAUSED A FAST FLAT. THE TIRE WAS REPLACED. THE LOCAL DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 45,400. *LN CONSUMER STATED 2 TIRES HAVE LOST THE COLLARS AROUND THE VALVE STEM DUE TO CORROSION. ONE TIRE HAS COLLAR ON VALVE STEM (IT IS CRACKED) UPDATED*JB *TR

VAN WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY, STARTED WASHING THE BACK DRIVERS SIDE TIRE RIM ON THE VAN AND THE VALVE STEM POPPED OFF AND THE TIRE COMPLETELY DEFLATED FROM JUST BARELY TOUCHING IT WITH A RAG!! SECOND TIRE THAT HAS DONE THIS. TWO WEEKS AGO ANOTHER TIRE WAS LOW ON AIR, STOPPED AT A GAS STATION TO FILL IT UP WITH AIR AND THE VALVE STEM BROKE OFF AS SOON AS HE TRIED TO FILL IT AND COMPLETELY DEFLATED. WE HAD TO PUT A RUBBER VALVE STEM INTO THAT TIRE. THIS IS OUR FAMILY VEHICLE WITH A 9, 6, AND 5 YEAR OLD RIDING IN THIS CAR. IF THE VALVE STEM BROKE THAT EASILY IT COULD'VE HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND WE COULD'VE BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT WHERE MY CHILDREN COULD'VE GOTTEN HURT!

WHILE DRIVING AND OR COMING TO A STOP SIGN OR LIGHT THE BRAKE LIGHT ,THE SLIPPERY ROAD ICON,SPEEDOMETER JUMPS ONLY NO ACCELERATION,JUST JUMPS OTHER ICON LIGHTS AS WELL APPEAR ON DASH,OFTEN IT STALLS AT LIGHT AND IS DIFFICULT TO RESTART TYING UP TRAFFIC ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THIS PROBLEM HAS CAUSED A STALL ON THE HIGHWAY WHERE I CAN LOOSED CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY SAFELY,I WAS TOLD THAT THE COMPUTER SHOWS A FAULTY BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH SENSOR ,I DID REPLACE IT YESTERDAY,9/29/17 WITH A FACTORY DUPLICATE BUT THE PROBLEM STILL EXIST. I'M CONCERNED SO IF YOU CAN HELP PLEASE LET ME KNOW. [XXX] THANKS. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

VEHICLE IS STALLING OUT WITHOUT WARNING. I HAVE NOTICED IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE VANS FROM DODGE AND CHRYSLER. IT IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE, IT STALLS IN TRAFFIC AT IDLE OR WHEN PULLING INTO TRAFFIC. WHEN IT STALLS SOMETIMES IT WILL ACTIVATEE THE ESP LIGHT AND SET OFF MULTIPLE OBD2 CODES, ORBIT WILL STALL AND NOT SET OFF ANY LIGHTS.

VEHICLE SHUTS OFF WHILE IN MOTION WHEN I HIT A BUMP. IT HAPPENS AT ANY SPEED. I HAVE HAD TO COAST TO THE SHOULDER OF THE INTERSTATE IN ORDER TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THIS VERY PROBLEM WAS RECALLED IN VEHICLES MANUFACTURED THROUGH MAY 2010, BUT MY VEHICLE IS OUTSIDE OF THE RECALL, AS IT WAS MANUFACTURED IN SEPTEMBER 2010. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE.
