2012 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH OR VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SPONTANEOUSLY SHUT DOWN, BUT WAS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CULLMAN CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (300 BENCHMARK WAY, CULLMAN, AL, (256) 615-2563) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE WIRELESS IGNITION MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE REPAIR WOULD COST APPROXIMATELY $900; THEREFORE, THE CONTACT DECLINED THE REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,300.

MY FUEL PUMP KEPT RUNNING WHEN THE CAR WAS OFF AND THE KEY WAS OUT IT WAS THE TIPM COMPUTER THAT WAS BAD I BYPASSED THE TIPM WHEN THIS WAS FIXED AT DODGE NOW MY BATTERY LIGHT IS COMING ON ITS A BRAND NEW BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR AND IM BEING TOLD ITS THE TIPM. IT ALSO WAS EFFECTING ACCELERATION IT WOULD RAMP UP RPM BUT SPEED WOULD NOT CHANGE THIS ISSUE OCCURED WHILE IN MOTION DRIVING ON A FREEWAY

MY CAR WAS IN FOR A RECALL 2 YEARS AGO WHERE MY CAR WOULD NOT SWITCH GEARS WHEN DRIVING. PRIOR I COMPLAINED SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG UNTIL I FOUND THE RECALL OR CONCERN ON LINE. MY CAR IS NOW SHOWING THE SAME SIGNS AS BEFORE ALONG WITH STALLING WHEN I HIT THE BREAK AND MAKING A TICKING NOISE. HOW DO I GET THIS RESOLVED SINCE OBVIOUSLY IT IS A MANUFACTURER ISSUE WITH THE CAR. THIS HAPPENS ON HIGHWAYS, CITY STREETS WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION.

WE JUST BOUGHT A USED 2012 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN WITH ABOUT 99,000 MILES. WHEN I DROVE IT THE NEXT MORNING, I MADE A TURN ONTO THE ROAD WHEN IT COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. IT ALARMED ME. I TURNED THE KEY TO THE OFF POSITION AND THEN BACK ON AND IT STARTED UP AGAIN. I DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT UNTIL TODAY (2 DAYS LATER) WHEN MY HUSBAND CALLED ME CONCERNED THAT THE CAR STOPPED ON HIM AS HE WAS TURNING ONTO A DIFFERENT ROAD. HE HAD OUR 2 YR. OLD AND 7 MONTH OLD IN THE CAR, SO THAT REALLY CONCERNED ME FOR THEIR SAFETY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. WHEN THE CONTACT APPLIED THE BRAKES, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT SHIFTED INTO PARK AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT A FAILURE COULD NOT BE FOUND. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 115,000.

WHENEVER I TURN ON THE HIGH BEAMS THE VEHICLE HAS ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. IT IS LIKE WHEN THE VEHICLE IS INITIALLY TURNED ON AND IT GOES THROUGH A ELECTRICAL DIAGNOSTICS TEST . THE INDICATOR LIGHTS/SOUNDS FLASH ON THE DASHBOARD. AS SOON AS I TURN THE HIGH BEAMS OFF AGAIN THE VEHICLE WORKS PROPERLY. THERE DOESN'T SEEM TO AFFECT THE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, BUT WHEN THIS HAPPENS I IMMEDIATELY TURN THE HIGH BEAMS OFF BECAUSE I DO NOT KNOW IF THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEM WILL AFFECT THE STEERING AND OR BRAKING. SO ANY TRUE IMPACT IS NOT KNOWN. IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR OVER A YEAR NOW. I JUST DON'T USE MY HIGH-BEAMS FOR FEAR OF HAVING AN ACCIDENT. THE ISSUE CAN BE REPLICATED (STILL HAPPENS TODAY).

DRIVER SIDE BACK DOOR QUIT WORKING AND CANNOT BE MANUALLY OVERRIDDEN. WE CANNOT OPEN IT AT ALL. HUGE SAFETY ISSUE IF WE ARE IN A WRECK AND THE PERSON IN THE BACK SEAT CANNOT EXIT THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH MANY OF THESE VANS I HAVE NOTICED. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE DIES AS A RESULT!

VEHICLE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM CONTINUES TO GET WORSE. DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 70MPH ALL OF A SUDDEN THE VAN LOOSES ALL POWER AND KILLS THE ENGINE. HAVE TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL IN ORDER TO RESTART. THIS IS A FAMILY VEHICLE AND I WILL NOT LOOSE MY FAMILY OVER A FAULTY ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. NUMEROUS TIMES PULLING OUT ONTO THE ROAD FROM A PARKING LOT THE VAN HAS STALLED AS I AM TURNING WITH ONCOMING SEMI TRUCKS NEARLY HITTING ME.

DRIVER SIDE SLIDING DOOR STUCK IN LOCKED POSITION RENDERING DOOR UNUSABLE. 03/12/2019. CANNOT GET IT TO UNLOCK MANUALLY OR WITH FOB. PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR WILL NOT LOCK MANUALLY OR WITH FOB, RENDERING A SECURITY ISSUE. 01/01/2018. I CAN NEVER FULLY LOCK MY VAN. WE JUST RISKED IT UNTIL THIS DOOR WENT ON US. AFTER RESEARCH FOUND MANY PEOPLE STRUGGLING WITH THIS ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS REFUELED, THE ENGINE WOULD NOT IMMEDIATELY START. AFTER RESTARTING THE ENGINE, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ACTIVATED INDEPENDENTLY AND THE DOORS WOULD RANDOMLY LOCK. IN ADDITION, THE BACKUP CAMERA MALFUNCTIONED AND THE SCREEN TURNED BLACK.
