2015 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN Complaints

THIS VAN HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP AT LEST 8 TIMES SINCE NEW. THE THROTTLE RESPONSE IS REALLY BAD. FROM STOP LIGHTS AND IN SLOW MOVING AREAS DRIVING LESS THEN 10MPH IT WILL LOSE ALMOST ALL THROTTLE CONTROL. IT WILL EITHER BE FULL THROTTLE OR NONE. WHEN PASSING SOMETIMES NOTHING WILL HAPPEN WHEN YOU PRESS ON THE GAS. I'VE HAD TIMES IN TOWN THAT IT WILL JUST STICK ON FULL THROTTLE AS WELL. ALSO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH IT ROLLING BACKWARDS OUT OF CONTROL WHEN IN DRIVE WE HAVE TO ALL WAYS HAVE OUR FOOT ON THE BREAKS. THE VAN ONCE ROLLED BACKWARDS DOWN A HILL WITH MY WIFE AND KIDS IN IT. MY INSURANCE PAID FOR THE DAMAGE. MY WIFE HAD IT IN DRIVE AND PRESS THE GAS TO GO UP THE HILL AND THE VAN WOULD NOT ACCELERATE IT JUST ROLLED BACKWARDS AND DAMAGED THE VAN. SHE HAD THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR AND IT DID NOTHING. I GOT THE VAN BRAND NEW FROM THE DEALERSHIP. THEY TELL ME IT'S NORMAL AND NOT TO WORRY ABOUT IT. IT STILL A PROBLEM AND I'M STUCK WITH IT.

VEHICLE PURCHASED IN 2015. MARCH OF 2016, 28648 MILES, VEHICLE BEGAN MAKING VIBRATION/SQUEALING TYPE NOISES UNDER THE HOOD. NOISE ONLY OCCUREED DURING IDLING/IN PARK. FLEXPLATE WAS REPLACED. DECEMBER 2016 UPON STARTING VEHICLE MADE A LOUD SQUEAL/GRINDING SOUND. VEHICLE WAS PUT IN PARK AND TURNED OFF. CONTACTED DODGE AND WAS TOLD TO RESTART. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT COME OUT OF PARK. CAR TOWED AND STARTED ASSEMBLY REPLACED. AUGUST 8,2018, FLEXPLATE IS GOING TO HAVE TO BE REPLACED YET AGAIN AT 107000 MILES. NOISE IS VERY LOUD. HAPPENED WHILE IDLING AT RED LIGHT, AND CONTINUES ANYTIME IDLING/IN PARK. GOES AWAY DURING ACCELERATION.

AIR CONDITIONING SUDDENLY WENT OUT. TOOK CAR TO THE CHRYSLER DEALER I PURCHASED FROM. THE REAR AIR CONDITIONING HAD QUIT. THE TXV HAD FAILED AND WAS LEAKING FREON. CALLING OUTSIDE MECHANICS FOR A REPAIR ESTIMATE, THEY ARE WELL AWARE OF THIS ISSUE. A SIMPLE INTERNET SEARCH WILL TELL YOU THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM RELATED TO THE AC. THE REPAIR WAS DONE BY CHRYSLER DEALER. I CALLED CHRYSLER THEY MADE A CASE. CHRYSLER IS AWARE THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE THEY DID HELP WITH COSTS.

I LIVE IN ARIZONA AND THE A/C IS ONLY BLOWING COLD OUT OF THE 2 DRIVER VENTS. THE 2 PASSENGER FRONT VENTS AND ALL THE REAR VENTS BLOW HOT AIR. IF YOU GOOGLE THIS IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM BUT DODGE WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT LOCALLY WITH OUT BIG BUCKS OUT OF POCKET. WITH CHILDREN IN 120 F WEATHER AND A VEHICLE THAT IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD THIS ISN'T WHAT WE PAID UP FRONT IN CASH FULLY TO EXPECT.

MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM. RECALL ON THE ACTUATOR FOR THE A/C. A/C SUDDENLY QUITS WORKING. REAL AIR CONDITIONING EVAPORATOR EXPANSION VALVE TXV, COIL LEAKS OIL. MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ARE ONLINE ADDRESSING THE ISSUE, BUT CHRYSLER HAS DONE NOTHING ABOUT IT. MY AIR HAS QUIT WORKING.

WITHIN THE FIRST FEW WEEKS OF DRIVING THIS LEASED VEHICLE, I REPORTED THIS TO THE DEALER. THE PROBLEM WAS THAT THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS POPPING OUT OF CRUISE WITHOUT ANY INTERACTION FROM ME. I'VE REPORTED THIS EVERY TIME I WENT IN FOR A OIL CHANGE. I HAVE 55,000 MILES ON THIS VAN. SO, THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED AT LEAST 13 TIMES! THERE WAS A CHANGE IN CRUISE CONTROLS AFTER THE FIRST REPORT. THE SECOND WAS A REPROGRAM. THE THIRD WAS A REPROGRAM. I HAVE A LEMON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS YEAR THEY MADE ME PAY A $90.00 FEE FOR SERVICING THIS. I WAS REIMBURSED BECAUSE I CALLED THE SERVICE MANAGER AND COMPLAINED. BUT HE TOLD ME THAT NO WORK WAS PERFORMED FOR THE PROBLEM. DRIVING HIGHWAY OR SIDE STREETS AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS THIS WILL HAPPEN 10+ TIMES A DAY. NOW, MY TRANSMISSION HAS BUCKED AND SLIPPED A FEW TIMES DURING THE EPISODES. THE CRUISE CONTROL DELAYS (AND NOT STOPS) BUT NOW ENOUGH TO FINALLY GO INTO A GEAR THAT IS IN BETWEEN AND THIS CLUNKS INTO A GEAR. NOT GOOD! I INITIALLY WANTED TO BUY THIS VEHICLE AFTER MY LEASE RAN OUT. I EVEN PLACED DECALS ALL OVER THE VAN ADVERTISING HURST FRESH. I NEED THIS DEALER THAT IS REPRESENTING THE DODGE TO STOP GIVING ME THE LOOK THAT I'M WRONG IN WHAT I'M EXPERIENCING. I HEARD THAT OTHER RECALLS FROM THIS MANUFACTURER FOR THIS CRUISE CONTROL IS BEING TAKEN CARE OF. AS FOR THE TRANSMISSION, THIS IS A TRUE EXPERIENCE. PLEASE HELP ME AS I AM GOING TO GET A LAWYER IF THIS DOESN'T GET A RECALL. I'LL NEVER LEASE ANOTHER VEHICLE FROM BOTH THE DEALER AND MAKER OF THIS VEHICLE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE! *TR

LOCAL LAWS PROHIBIT LEAVING A VEHICLE RUNNING WHILE NOT ATTENDED. THE LOW FOR THAT NIGHT WAS ABOUT -23F. IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE SAFELY UNTIL THE WINDSHIELD IS DEFROSTED, SO I HAD TO SIT IN THE VEHICLE FOR QUITE SOME TIME UNTIL THE WINDSHIELD DEFROSTED. WHILE WAITING, I GOT FROST BITE ON THE ENDS OF THREE TOES ON MY LEFT FOOT. THE HEATER IS INADEQUATE TO HEAT THE VEHICLE IN THE WINTER. THE DEFROSTER IS INADEQUATE TO DEFROST THE WINDSHIELD IN SUBZERO WEATHER. THE ONLY HEAT TO THE DRIVER'S SIDE FLOOR IS BY THE RIGHT FOOT ONLY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, THE CLIPS INSIDE THE HEADRESTS FRACTURED AND CAUSED THE HEADREST AIR BAGS TO DEPLOY ON THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEATS. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. MOBERLY MOTOR COMPANY (1520 N MORLEY ST, MOBERLY, MISSOURI 65270) WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND DIAGNOSED THAT THE HEADRESTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED THE CONTACT WITH CASE NUMBER: 346-091-77. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 59,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. WHILE THE AIR CONDITIONER WAS ACTIVATED, HOT AIR WAS FELT COMING FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE VENT. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 48,196.

A/C STOPPED WORKING ABOUT 3 MONTHS AND WAS FLUCTUATING FOR REAR PASSENGERS ALMOST A YEAR BEFOREHAND WHICH IS SAME FOR THE FRONT PASSENGER. COLD AIR ONLY BLOWS FOR THE DRIVER. I HAVE 4 CHILDREN AND LIVE IN THE DESERT...THIS IS UNSAFE AND SHOULD BE RECALLED.
