2017 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN Complaints

ARE 2017 DODGE GRAND CANAVAN HAS SHUT OF WHEN WE ARE DRIVING ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. THE FIRST MAJOR ISSUE WE HAD WITH THE VAN, WAS WHEN MY WIFE PARK AT THE LOCAL RETAILER STORE AND REMOVED THE KEY AND IT DID NOT SHUT OFF. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. IT HAS SHUT OF ON MY WIFE ON A BUSY INTERSECTION AND WHILE JUST DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD; IT SHUT OF ON ME WAITING IN LINE FOR A CAR WASH. WE HAVE TAKEN IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY "CAN NOT FIND" ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT.

I BOUGHT THE CAR MONTH AGO WITH 34900 MILES ON IT AND WITHIN THE MONTH MY AC STARTED BLOWING HOT AIR WHILE DRIVING, MY PASSENGER REAR DOOR WAS MAKING GRINDING NOISE ON OPENING/CLOSING/LOCKING AND THE WINDSHIRLD WIPER FLUID LINE CAME UNDONE WITHIN 3 WEEKS. AS I DIDN'T KNOW THAT THE WARRANTY ENDED AT 36000 MILES, I WAS TOLD 65,000, I WAITED TO TAKE THE CAR IN TO THE SHOP INTELL I GOT OUT OF WORK, ONE MONTH TO THE DAY FROM DATE OF PURCHASE, AND TOOK IT INTO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP. A CAR THEN HAD 36200 MILES AND I WAS NOT TOLD I NEEDED TO PAY JUST TO GET IT CHECKED OUT AT THE DODGE DEALERSHIP. IT TURNS OUT THAT THE LATCH TO THE DOOR WAS BROKEN AND THE REAR AC PUMP IS LEAKING AND THAT I NEED TO PAY $2000 TO FIX THESE ISSUES. THESE ISSUES WHERE THERE BEFORE I WENT OVER WARRANTY BUT THAT DOESN'T MATTER TO DODGE.

VEHICLE STALLS UNEXPECTEDLY WHEN RUNNING, REGARLESS OF SPEED. VERY DENGEROUS, THE INSSUES HAS OCCURED MULTIPLE TIMES ALREADY.

VEHICLE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK VEHICLE TO LICENSED GARAGE FOR ANALYSIS. THE CODE 2 INDICATED A REPLACEMENT OF THE COIL AND SPARKPLUGS NEED TO BE DONE. AFTER MECHANIC CHANGED ITEMS, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. TOOK VEHICLE BACK TO MECHANIC AND AFTER RESEARCH AND SPENDING $604.71 IN REPAIR CHARGES, MY MECHANIC, AFTER CONFERRING WITH DEALERSHIP PERSONNEL WAS ADVISED THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE #2 CYLINDER. TOOK VEHICLE TO ORCHARD DEALERSHIP AND AFTER ADDITIONAL EXPENSE FOUND THAT THEY DID WARRANTY WORK ON THE CYLINDER. MY MECHANIC ADVISED THAT THE INITIAL REPAIRS WERE UNNECESSARY AS THE PLUGS AND COIL WERE FINE. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER FOR REIMBURSEMENT. THEY DENIED SAME STATING THAT I DID NOT HAVE THE VEHICLE SERVICED AT A DEALERSHIP INITIALLY. PRIOR TO THE REPAIR THE VEHICLE WOULD HESITATE AND BALK WHEN DRIVING. THIS IS MY DAUGHTERS VEHICLE [XXX] ALONG WITH OUR 2 GRANDCHILDREN. CHRYSLER DID NOT ADMIT TO A VEHICLE PROBLEM WITH THIS ENGINE UNTIL MY MECHANIC WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP. WARRANTY REPAIRS WERE THEN MADE. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I BOUGHT 2017 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. NOW, THE CAR HAS 34,940 MILES. WHEN I PUS THE BRAKE WHEN THE CAR SPEED ABOVE 40 MILES/HOUR, THE CAR VIBRATES. I THINK THE ROTOR IS WARPED. IT IS DANGEROUS ON THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE THIS PROBLEM. TALKED TO DODGE DEALERSHIP AND CALLED DODGE CUSTOMER CARE. THEY BOTH TOLD ME IT IS NOT COVERED BY THE 36MONTH/36,000MILE WARRANTY. SEARCHED ON THE INTERNET, A LOT OF OWNER COMPLAINED THE BRAKE PROBLEM ABOUT DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. EXPERIENCED MECHANICS INDICATED THIS IS A DESIGN ISSUE. DODGE DOESN'T HAVE A GOOD ENOUGH BRAKE FOR THIS CAR. THIS PROBLEM EXISTS FOR MANY YEARS AND DODGE STILL UNWILLING TO REDESIGN OR COVER THIS DESIGN FLAW. DODGE SHOULD PROVIDE SPECIAL WARRANTY TO COVER THIS DESIGN FLAW AND IT IS A GREAT SAFETY ISSUE NHTSA TAKE THE LEADERSHIP TO ASK DODGE FIX THIS COMMON PROBLEM RELATED TO THEIR DESIGN.

THIS HAS OCCURRED NOW AT LEAST 12 TIMES IN THE LAST YEAR. THE MIDDLE ROW SEATS. AFTER FASTENING THE SEAT BELTS, THEY UNBUCKLE. I HAD CAR SEATS WITH CHILDREN BUCKLED AND ALL A SUDDEN THEY TELL ME IT CAME UNBUCKLED WHILE DRIVING AND I HAVE TO STOP AND LOCK IT AGAIN. IN FACT ONE TIME IT WOULDNT LOCK AGAIN AND HAD TO PUT THEM IN THE BACK ROW. I TESTED IT MYSELF AND BUCKLED THEM AND PULLED SLIGHTLY ON THEM AND THEY CAME UNBUCKLED WITHOUT PRESSING THE UNBUCKLE BUTTON.THIS IS A SERIOUSLY DANGEROUS PROBLEM IN AN ACCIDENT WITH CHILDREN IN CAR SEATS THAT THE BELTS COME UNDONE. IT JUST HAPPENED YESTERDAY AGAIN.
