2010 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN Complaints

TWO YEARS AGO THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE 2009-2010 DODGE CARAVANS FOR THE IGNITION SWITCH TURNING OFF WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN. I WAS TOLD THAT MY VAN WAS NOT A PART OF THAT RECALL, HOWEVER THERE HAVE BEEN 5 INSTANCES WHERE I HAVE BEEN DRIVING IN A PARKING LOT OR DOWN A NEIGHBOR STREET WHEN THE VAN'S ENGINE JUST TURNS OFF AND I LOOSE STIRRING AND BRAKING ABILITY. THIS MORNING WHEN I WAS PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC ONTO A MAIN ROAD THIS OCCURRED AGAIN, BUT THIS TIME I WAS IN DANGER AND ALMOST HIT BY SEVERAL CARS. THE ONLY WAY I CAN GET THE VAN TO RESTART IS TO PUT IT IN PARK AND TRY AND START IT. IT USUALLY TAKES TO OR 3 TIMES BEFORE IT WILL START, IT SEEMS TO GET STUCK AND THE ENGINE KEEPS TRYING TO START UNTIL FINALLY IT WILL START AND I CAN GET IT MOVING AGAIN. THIS VAN IS THE MAIN VEHICLE FOR OUR FAMILY AND AFTER THIS MORNING I M IN FEAR OF MY LIFE AND THE LIVES OF MY CHILDREN. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS AND HELP ME GET THIS FIXED BY THE MANUFACTURER. THE NUMBER OF IMPACTED VEHICLES IS GREATER THAN THE RECALL THEY DID A FEW YEARS AGO.

SOME OF MY DASH LIGHTS ARE NOT WORKING. I TOOK TO MY MECHANIC AND HE SAID, "THIS WOULD BE AN EIGHT-HOUR JOB AND COST ABOUT $800.00. HE DID NOT WANT THIS JOB AND SUGGESTED I CONTACT DODGE TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS. I CANNOT AFFORD TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED. IS THERE SOMETHING DODGE CAN DO TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. I NEVER HAD THIS KIND OF PROBLEM WITH ANY OF MY VIHICLES BEFORE AND THYIS IS THE FOURTH DODGE I HAVE OWNED. THE PROBLEM IS THAT AT NIGHT, WHEN I NEED TO SEE MY DASH LIGHTS, I CANNOT SEE MY SPEEDOMETER, ECT. I HAD TO PUT A LIGHT ABOVE MY SPEEDOMETER. NOR VERY ATTRACTIVE AND NOT REAL HELPFUL.

ENGINE STALLS WHILE DRIVING IN MOTION-SO FAR HAS ONLY OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS BUT IS BECOMING MORE FREQUENT.ORIGINALLY SEEMED TO OCCUR ONLY WHEN NOT FULLY WARMED UP BUT NOW IS HAPPENING AT REGULAR OPERATING TEMPERATURES ALSO.IT HAS HAPPENED BOTH WHILE MAKING TURNS AND WHILE TRAVELING IN A STRAIGHT LINE. I OFTEN DON'T NOTICE IT HAS OCCURRED UNTIL I TRY TO ACCELERATE OR TURN AND DISCOVER THE LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND THAT THE TACHOMETER IS ON "O" RPMS. IT HAS BECOME A REGULARLY RE-OCCURRING ANNOYANCE AND HAS OBVIOUS DANGER POTENTIAL. I TOOK THE CAR TO A DEALERSHIP FOR THE RECALL ON THE WIN MODULE AND WAS TOLD THAT THE BRAND OF MODULE THAT THIS VEHICLE CONTAINED WAS NOT THE ONE THEY WERE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH AND WOULD THEREFORE NOT REPLACE IT. THEY ALSO CLAIMED THAT THE PROBLEM WE WERE HAVING WAS NOT RELATED TO THAT PART. CHECKING ONLINE I FIND THAT I AM FAR FROM THE FIRST OWNER OF THESE VEHICLES EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM AND THAT CHRYSLER CORP. SEEMS TO BE IN DENIAL OF A PROBLEM AND IS AT A LOSS AS TO CORRECTION OF THE PROBLEM. PLEASE ADD MY COMPLAINT TO THE GROWING LIST OF UNRESOLVED COMPLAINTS RELATING TO THIS VEHICLE.
