2012 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN Complaints

NOTICE A NOISE THAT WAS SORT OF LIKE A GRINDING/GROANING NOISE WHEN IDLING AND IT WOULD GET WORSE IF I TURNED ON THE AC. THE SOUND WAS ALSO PRESENT AT LOWER RPMS BUT WOULD DISAPPEAR AFTER THE VEHICLE GOT UP TO SPEED. TURNS OUT THE FLEX PLATE IS BROKEN. THE NOISE HAS BEEN GETTING WORSE OVER THE PAST MONTH AND AFTER VISITING MULTIPLE SHOPS TO BE TOLD, IT WAS A ROCK IN THE BRAKES, TO MAYBE TRANSMISSION WE FOUND A SHOP THAT IDENTIFIED THE ACTUAL ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE SEIZED AND LOST POWER WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT MANAGED TO VEER TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION. MIDWAY DODGE (4747 S PULASKI RD, CHICAGO, IL 60632, (773) 376-8060) WAS CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE IGNITION SWITCH CAUSED THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 170,000.

WHILE MY HUSBAND DRIVING LAST WEEK, OCTOBER 4TH 2019 TO BE EXACT, THE DRIVERS SEATBELT CAME UNLATCHED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, WE WERE ON A STRAIGHT ROAD WITH MINIMAL BUMPS OR HOLES. SINCE THIS OCCURRENCE I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH THE SEATBELT COMING UNLATCHED OR NOT LATCHING AT ALL, WHILE IN MOTION, GOING AROUND CURVES, AND WHILE STATIONARY. I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE 3 MONTHS AND THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE HAD THIS ONGOING ISSUE.

EVERY TIME WE START TO VEHICLE AND DRIVE IT FOR A LITTLE BIT THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON DINGS MUST BE A MALFUNCTION USUALLY COMES ON LOW SPEED SOON AFTER WE START

WAS ADJUSTING HEADREST DOWN AND IT POPPED OUT CANT GET IT TO GO BACK. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AS I WAS CLEANING

THIS CAR HAVE 131000 MILES ON IT AND GIVES CODE P0304 WHICH SAYS CYLINDER 4 MISFIRE AND P0729 GEAR 6 INCORRECT RATIO WHICH LEADS TO 2 OR 3 GEAR DOWN SHIFT FROM 6 GEAR AT HWY SPEED AROUND OVER 50 MPH

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE LOW TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON, THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THEN EVERYTHING WENT OUT INCLUDING THE RADIO AND EVERYTHING ON THE DASHBOARD. THEN IT ALL LIT UP LIKE A CHRISTMAS TREE AND IT WAS LIKE I WAS FREE DRIVING AND NEUTRAL I PRESSED ON THE BRAKE AND NOTHING HAPPENED. I ENDED UP CRASHING TO THE BACK OF SOMEONE'S CAR.*DT *DT CONSUMER STATED THE VAN WAS TOTALED BECAUSE THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AND THAT TAKEN AWAY BY A TOW COMPANY.*JB

TURNS OFF WHEN DRIVING...ALL POWER SHUTS DOWN LEAVING VEHICLE WITH NO POWER. HAPPENED WHEN ON THE FREEWAY. IT TURNED BACK ON, BUT FROM WHAT I HAVE READ SOUNDS LIKE AN ISSUE.
