TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V373000 (AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) AND STATED THAT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME FRAME TO SCHEDULE THE RECALL REPAIR FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. THE DEALER DID NOT GIVE A SPECIFIC DATE FOR WHEN THE PART WOULD BECOME AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER COULD NOT PROVIDE AN ESTIMATED DATE FOR WHEN THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WOULD RECEIVE THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

THE VEHICLE HAS UNEXPECTEDLY SHUT OFF (I.E. GONE DEAD) 30-40 TIMES IN THE PAST 9 MONTHS. I PREVIOUSLY TOOK THE VEHICLE TO DODGE DEALERSHIP AND THEY DID NOT FIND ANY PROBLEM WITH THE IGNITION. THERE WERE NO ERROR CODES IN THE VEHICLE COMPUTER. DEARLERSHIP SUGGESTED REMOVING ALL EXTRA KEYS/KEY RINGS...SO DID SO. WHEN IT SHUTS OFF, THE ENGINE STOPS RUNNING, LOSS OF POWER STEERING, LOSS OF POWER BRAKES, AND IM GUESSING THE AIR BAGS. ALTHOUGH THE VAN PREDOMINANTLY SHUTS OFF AT LOW SPEEDS (10-15 MPH) SHORTLY AFTER STARTING THE CAR, IT NOW OCCURS MORE FREQUENTLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (60 MPH) AND AFTER THE CAR HAS BEEN RUNNING FOR 2 HOURS. THE SHUT DOWN HAS GOT TO BE ELECTRONIC AS THE ENGINE DOES NOT SPUTTER (THE ENGINE AND ALL ELECTRONICS GO DEAD). ALSO WE USE ONLY THE KEY IN THE IGNITION (NO KEY RING OR EXTRA KEY WEIGHT) AND THE KEY DOES NOT MOVE OUT OF THE ON POSITION. THIS ROLLING DEATH TRAP NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND REPAIRED IMMEDIATELY.

I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH ON A CITY STREET WHEN MY ENGINE SHUT OFF. I LOST ALL ENGINE POWER; TANK WENT TO EMPTY AND IT WAS INCREDIBLY HARD TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL AS WELL AS BRAKE. THE BEST I COULD, I PULLED OVER, PUT THE VAN IN PARK AND RESTARTED IT. I DROVE HOME. I CALLED THE DODGE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THAT SINCE NO DASH LIGHTS CAME ON, NO CODES WOULD BE STORED, AND TO KEEP DRIVING THE VEHICLE UNTIL IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT SCHEDULED WITH THEM FOR 11/19/15 (THE SOONEST POSSIBLE APPOINTMENT.) I AM UNCERTAIN IF THIS IS RELATED; HOWEVER, SOMETIMES MY "KEY" DOESN'T LOCK OR UNLOCK THE VAN. IN AUGUST, TWO TIMES THE VAN WOULDN'T START RIGHT AWAY (2-3 TRIES) AND ON SEPTEMBER 6, IT DIDN'T START AFTER MULTIPLE TRIES. ABOUT AN HOUR LATER, IT STARTED WITH A GRINDING SOUND, WHICH SOUNDED TO BE COMING FROM THE RIGHT PASSENGER SIDE OF THE DASHBOARD. NO DASH LIGHTS. IT HAS STARTED FINE SINCE THEN.
