2010 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH DURING RAIN WEATHER CONDITIONS, THERE WAS A OBJECT ON THE ROAD THAT CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO SWERVE INTO THE NEXT TRAFFIC LANE AND CRASH. THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER FRONTAL AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE VEHICLE PROCEEDED TO CRASH INTO A POLE AND CAME TO A STOP WHEN IT ROLLED OVER. THE CONTACT SUFFERED INJURIES TO THE HEAD, THE BACK, THE KNEES, AND THE HANDS THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A STORAGE FACILITY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 67,000.

WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED AND HAVE HAD NO MAJOR ISSUES WITH IT. RECENTLY, AT LOW SPEEDS (LESS THAN 35MPH) THE VEHICLE WILL STOP RUNNING. THE INDICATIONS ARE: -CAR IS MOVING FROM BUT SLOWS WITHOUT BRAKING BECAUSE POWER IS NOT BEING SUPPLIED TO MAKE THE CAR GO. -THE TACHOMETER DROPS TO ZERO, BECAUSE THE ENGINE IS NOT RUNNING. -THE ETS (ELECTRONIC TRACTION SYSTEM) LIGHT TURNS ON -VEHICLE IS HARDER TO STEER BECAUSE POWER STEERING IS NOT AVAILABLE WHEN ENGINE IS NOT RUNNING. THE REMEDY IS TO: -PULL OVER, PUT IN PARK AND START FROM THE GET GO. -POP THE VEHICLE INTO NEUTRAL AND START ON THE GO I NOTICED THERE WAS AN OPEN RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE TO REPLACE THE WIM (NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V373000) WITH ONE OF THE SYMPTOMS BEING THE IGNITION KEY INADVERTENTLY MOVES TO THE ACCESSORY OR OFF POSITION WHILE RUNNING. I TOOK IT IN TO OUR LOCAL DODGE DEALER AND THEY PERFORMED THE RECALL FOR US. WITHIN A FEW DAYS, THE EXACT SAME THING WAS HAPPENING. SO WE TOOK IT BACK. THE SAME DEALER DID THE FOLLOWING: -CLEARED THE COMPUTER CODES TO HAVE A CLEAN CAPTURE -UPDATED OUR PCM, APPARENTLY THERE WAS AN FLASH UPGRADE. WE DROVE IT OVER THE WEEKEND, THINGS SEEMED FINE. BUT THEN, IT DID IT AGAIN. TWICE IN THE SPAN OF ABOUT 20 MINUTES. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER TO SEE WHAT THE CODES WERE. NOW THEY HAVE DETERMINED: -THE TPIM IS THE PROBLEM -AND THE INVERTER IS THROWING CODES TOO, SO THAT PROBABLY NEEDS REPLACED. I PAID THEM FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC AND TOLD THEM I'M GOING TO SIT ON THIS PENDING $1500 REPAIR. AFTER DOING SOME WEB RESEARCH I FOUND OUT THAT CHRYSLER VEHICLES WITH A TPIM PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE COMMON PLACE, YET THERE HAS BEEN A SMALL RECALL FOR CERTAIN VEHICLES. I AM MOSTLY POSTING THIS "COMPLAINT" TO HELP GET A RECALL ISSUED AND TO SET UP A SITUATION WHERE I CAN GET REIMBURSED, SHOULD I GO AHEAD WITH THE FIX AND A RECALL IS ISSUED

THE VANS ENGINE SHUTS OFF WHENEVER IT WANTS. DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD IT JUST SHUTS DOWN, ALL ACCESSORIES CONTINUE TO WORK SUCH AS FANS RADIO ETC. THE STEERING LOCKS UP BECAUSE THE ENGINE SHUTS DOWN. AS SOON AS I CAN STOP I PUT IT IN PARK AND TURN THE KEY. THE CAR IMMEDIATELY STARTS AND I CONTINUE TO DRIVE. THERE ARE NO WARNING LIGHTS ON AND NOTHING FLASHES ON THE DASH WHEN IT STALLS. IT JUST TURNS OFF AS IF I HAVEN'T TURNED THE KEY ALL THE WAY TO RUN.
