2011 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN Complaints

Vehicle shakes, dash lights flash on an off, doesn't want to accelerate, check engine light flashes occasionally. Mechanic has run diagnostic tests, the only code the vehicle is showing is oil pressure.

The fuel pump relay failed. This is a very common problem with Caravans, and is very expensive to fix. The Grand Cherokee and Durango have the same design, and there is a recall on those models. The Caravan should have a recall declared as well. Thank you.

Driving home from work and my 2011 Dodge Grand Caravan just turned off on me while I was at a red light. It took sometime for my vehicle to turn back on. Since then I’ve had this problem now for 3 days. I’ve taken it in to my local machine and was told I only needed a new gas cap. Well that didn’t work and I found myself again stuck at a red light. After doing some investigation on Dodge Grand Caravans I saw other people had issues with a ignition switch. Different years same brand and if this is a cause dodge needs to look into this. I’ll be going to a actual dealership to see if they can diagnose the problem. Only scared I’ll be stuck on the highway.

The contact owns a 2011 Dodge Grand Caravan. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the vehicle stalled without warning. The contact stated that several electrical failures had occurred on the vehicle while the vehicle was turned off. The failures included the sliding doors independently unlocking and opening without warning or input. The contact also stated that the safety alarm would sound independent while the power windows rolled down independently while the vehicle was turned off. The contact had the vehicle towed by a dealer and was informed that the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) was defective and needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 160,000. Consumer is still having issues with the vehicle.

Van has stalled and quit while at intersections and while driving on busy hwy. Have had looked at and seems that the TIPM is the problem. Same as many over vehicles that was recalled for this same reason suck as the Jeep Cherokees. VERY DANGEROUS for it to stall and quit in the middle of traffic, almost been rearended due to the stalling and hit at intersection due to it cutting off completely. Accident wating to happen and have someone be badly injuried or killed. This needs to be addressed and recalled ASAP. Dealership looked at this and stated the same. Please investigate and take correct steps on getting this fixed/recalled before someone is killed.

CAR SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. SOMETIMES WON'T START BACK UP. ISN'T RUNNING WELL. MOST LIKELY THE TIPM, WHICH SEEMS TO BE A BIG ISSUE FROM WHAT I'M FINDING WITH DODGE CARAVANS.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE ROAD AT ABOUT 30 MPH GOING STRAIGHT (WITH MY WIFE/KIDS) AND THE CAR JUST TURNED OFF COMPLETELY. THERE WAS NO ELECTRICAL, NO PROPULSION, POWER STEERING WENT OUT. THE ELECTRICAL BLINKED ON AND OFF A COUPLE TIMES LIKE IT WAS TRYING TO COME BACK ON BUT I HAD TO PULL OVER (LUCKILY WE WERE ON A RURAL ROAD) AND TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON.

ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR QUITE SOME TIME. DEALERS UNABLE TO LOCATE PROBLEM. THOUGHT IT WAS CAMSHAFT SENSOR, REPLACED AND SAME ISSUES. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS NOT ALWAYS ON, SEEMS TO COME ON AFTER EXTENDED DRIVING. ON HIGHWAY, WITH ENGINE LIGHT ON TRACTION LIGHT WILL COME ON AND THE I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ACCELERATE PAST ABOUT 60 MPH EVEN WHEN PRESSING GAS TO FLOOR. ON HIGHWAY THIS IS VERY SCARY AND DANGEROUS. I SEE SIMILAR COMPLAINTS AND I AM FRUSTRATED THAT NO ONE CAN FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE. BEEN DEALING WITH THIS FOR ALMOST TWO YEARS.
