2010 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN Complaints

I HAD TURNED ONTO A HIGHWAY AND WAS ACCELERATING AND WHEN I GOT UP TO SPEED, 65 MPH, I LET OFF THE GAS BUT THE VAN KEPT ACCELERATING. I HIT THE BRAKES AND IT KEPT TRYING TO ACCELERATE WHILE I WAS HITTING THE BRAKES. I CHECKED TO MAKE SURE THERE WAS NOTHING ON THE GAS PEDAL AND THERE WAS NOTHING. I WAS TRYING NOT TO HIT OTHER CARS AND SLOW DOWN SO I COULD PULL OVER. I DIDN'T THINK TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL BUT STOMPED ON THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WITH THE REGULAR BRAKES AND IT FINALLY SLOWED DOWN ENOUGH I COULD PULL OVER BUT IT STILL KEPT TRYING TO ACCELERATE. WHEN I GOT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD IT WAS STILL KIND OF LURCHING FORWARD TRYING TO ACCELERATE WHILE I WAS STILL STANDING ON THE BRAKES. I TURNED THE KEY OFF AND IT FINALLY STOPPED. THROUGH THIS WHOLE ORDEAL IT FELT LIKE SOMEONE WAS PRESSING ON THE GAS AT THE SAME TIME THAT I WAS HITTING THE BRAKES AND IT DIDN'T STOP UNTIL I TURNED THE VAN OFF.

AIR BAG INDICATOR ILLUMINATED, CRUISE CONTROL DID NOT FUNCTION. MANUAL & DEALERSHIP CONFIRMED CRUISE WOULD NOT WORK IF AIR BAG INDICATOR IS LIT. VEHICLE RAN HOT DURING SLOW SPEEDS IN HOT WEATHER. DEALERSHIP FIRST SAID DRIVER'S AIRBAG SENSOR & TIPM WERE BAD, & BAD TIPM AFFECTS ALL ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS FROM AIRBAGS, LIGHTS, BRAKES, WIPERS, HORN, WINDOWS, TEMP CONTROL, & MORE. LEARNED THAT DODGE HAS HAD WIDESPREAD PROBLEMS WITH THE TIPM, AND DID NOT WANT TO CHANCE THE AIRBAGS NOT WORKING, SO WE HAD TO REPLACE IT EVEN THOUGH IT WAS NOT UNDER RECALL. WE ARE REPORTING THE PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH IT DID NOT CAUSE A SAFETY INCIDENT - WE CAN NOT WAIT UNTIL *AFTER* A POTENTIAL SAFETY INCIDENT THAT INVOLVED MALFUNCTIONING AIRBAGS... THE VEHICLE HAS SPENT 3 WKS + AT THE DEALERSHIP, AND WE DON'T HAVE THE DOCS VERIFYING THE WORK THEY HAVE COMPLETED YET. WE WILL GLADLY PROVIDE THE PAPERWORK AFTER THE WORK IS FINISHED.

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR IT JUST SHUTS OFF ON ME AT RANDOM TIMES. I NEVER KNOW WHEN IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN. IT HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES IN 2 WEEK. I FOUND A RECALL ONLINE FOR THIS SAME THING BUT MY DEALER IS TELLING ME THEY ARE VIN NUMBER SPECIFIC AND MY VIN SAYS THERE IS NO RECALL SO THEY WON'T FIX IT. THIS IS DUE TO ONLY CHRYSLER ONLY COVERED UP TILL JUNE OF 2010 MODEL YEAR AND OUR VAN/VIN WAS MADE IN JULY OF 2010. PLEASE HELP ME GET THIS FIXED BEFORE I HAVE AN ACCIDENT AND INJURE MYSELF OR MY FAMILY THAT IS IN THE VAN MOST OF THE TIME OR SOMEONE ELSE. THEY NEED TO EXTEND THE RECALL FOR ALL OF 2010 MODEL YEAR, NOT JUST PART OF THE YEAR.

THE AIR BAG SENSOR COMES ON AND GOES BACK OFF .SOME TIMES WHEN TURNING ON THE VEHICLE AND DRIVING . I NOTICED IT WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT IT TOOK IT BACK THE SALES MAN SAID THERE WAS NO WAY OF CHECKING IT

I BOUGHT A 2010 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO AND WITHIN THE LAST 4 MONTHS THE VAN HAS BEEN MAKING A LOUD HIGH PITCHED SQUEAL WHEN SWITCHING FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR. THE VAN HAS UNDER 70,000 MILES AND 3 DIFFERENT REPAIR SHOPS SAID IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION. ANYWHERE FROM 2500-3000 TO FIX. THEY ALSO SAID IT WAS NOT WORTH FIXING BECAUSE IT'S JUST GOING TO CONTINUE TO HAVE TRANSMISSION ISSUES. I STILL OWE OVER 7,000 ON IT. IT'S COMPLETELY UNFAIR THAT THE TRANSMISSIONS ARE NOT BEING COVERED BY THE DEALERSHIPS. SO NOW I HAVE TO GET ANOTHER VEHICLE AND START ALL OVER AGAIN.
