2010 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN Complaints

CAR STALLS WHILE I AM DRIVING IT. TOOK IT TO CAR DEALER AND IT DOESN'T POP UP WITH CODES, SO THEY SAY THEY CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG. HEAD OVER MECHANICS DROVE IT AND HE WAS DRIVING IT AT 30 MILES AN HOUR AND IT TURNED OFF AND HE SAID HE ALMOST WRECKED MY CAR. MECHANIC ALSO DUPLICATED IT, BUT NO CODES, SO THEY ARE SAYING THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO FIX. IT IS THE ONLY TRANSPORTATION I HAVE, BUT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AS WHEN IT STALLS I HAVE NO POWER STEERING OR BRAKES. I AM AT MY WITS END, BECAUSE I HAVE TRIED TO REACH CHRYSLER ITSELF AND ALL I GET IS CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY HAVE A CASE OPEN, BUT GETTING NO RESULTS. I ALSO HAVE CLUNKING IN MY TRANSMISSION, BUT AGAIN NO CODES. I AM AT MY WITS END AND DON'T KNOW WHERE TO GO FROM HERE. I CAN'T AFFORD TO KEEP PUTTING MONEY IN THIS CAR AND IT NOT GET FIXED. I STILL OWE 5 YEARS ON THIS CAR ALSO. I HAVE HAD PEOPLE RIDING IN THE CAR WITH ME WHEN IT HAS HAPPENED. I AM GOING TO PUT A DATE AT THIS END HERE, BUT NOT SURE OF WHEN IT FIRST STARTED HAPPENING, BUT KNOW THAT THE TRANSMISSION STARTED HAPPENING LAST YEAR AND TOLD THEM ABOUT IT AND THEY SAID THAT WAS NATURAL FOR THAT TYPE OF ENGINE, BUT THEY HADN'T EVEN DROVE IT.

THE HEADLIGHTS GO OUT INTERMITTENTLY. IT HAS DONE IT WHILE DRIVING, BOTH ON STREETS AND THE HIGHWAY, OR PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY. WHILE INVESTIGATING THIS ISSUE, I HAVE FOUND, ON YOUR SITE AND OTHERS, THAT THIS PROBLEM IS NOT A NEW OCCURRENCE. THIS BOTHERS ME THAT JUST BECAUSE NO MAJOR INJURIES HAVE BEEN ATTRIBUTED TO THIS PROBLEM, THAT THIS SAFETY ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED. WE TOOK OUR VAN TO OUR MECHANIC WHO TOLD US HE COULD TRY TO REPLACE THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH, WHICH WE HAVE DONE, BUT WE NEED TO TRY REPLACING TIPM, BUT AT A PRICE TAG OF $600-700, IT IS STILL NOT A GUARANTEE AND IT IS ON NATIONAL, OR FROM THE WORDS OF A PERSON AT THE DEALERSHIP - GALACTIC, BACKORDER WITH NO DATE AS TO WHEN TO EXPECT THE PART TO BE IN. WE CALLED A LOCAL DEALER TO FIND OUT WHO TO COMPLAIN TO AND WE WERE TOLD WE NEEDED TO VERIFY THE PART WAS ON BACKORDER, WHICH WE DID AND IT IS. CHRYSLER TOLD US THAT THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE TO CORRECTING THE MATTER AND ALL ATTEMPTS TO FIX THE ISSUE ARE OUR RESPONSIBILITY. OUR CONCERN IS THAT WE CAN NO LONGER SAFELY DRIVE OUR CAR IN THE RAIN, WHEN OUR HEADLIGHTS NEED TO BE ON OR AT NIGHT, IF WE CANNOT BE ASSURED THE LIGHTS WILL WORK THE ENTIRE TIME WE ARE OUT. WE ARE THANKFUL THAT DURING THE TIMES IT HAS GONE OUT, WE WERE ABLE TO SAFELY GET OFF THE ROAD. AS FOR YOUR QUESTION AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE ABOUT WHEN THIS HAS HAPPENED, THE MOST RECENT DATE WAS LAST NIGHT, WHEN MY WIFE NEEDED TO GO TO A MEETING AND THE HEADLIGHTS WOULD NOT TURN ON, SO SHE HAD TO TAKE MY VEHICLE.

CAR SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY TWICE WHILE DRIVING 20-25 MPH IN CITY STREET .RECEIVED RECALL R03/NHTSA 14V-373 IN JUNE AND WENT TO DEALER IMMEDIATELY. PARTS WERE ORDERED AND STILL TILL NOW DEALER SAYS PARTS ARE NOT READY.IT IS GOING TO BE 4 MONTHS FOR A SIMPLE REPAIR FOR A DANGEROUS PROBLEM. IF THE CAR STOPPED SUDDENLY TWICE, IT WILL STOP AGAIN AND 4 MONTHS IS NOT AN ACCEPTABLE TIME FOR REPAIR.

TRANSMISSION FEELS LIKE IT IS GOING TO COME OUT OF THE FRONT END OF MY CAR. IT MAKES THE CAR MOVE FORWARD WHEN IT DOES IT. NOTIFIED DEALER AND THEY TRIED IT, IT DID NOT DO IT FOR THEM, SO THEY SAY THEY CAN NOT FIX IT. TRIED IT ONCE. UNDER WARRANTY, BUT NO CODES AGAIN.

RECEIVED CAR BACK FROM DEALER AND CAR STALLED ON THEM, BUT NO CODES SHOWED UP SO THEY ARE SAYING THEY CAN'T FIX IT. I BROUGHT IT HOME AND IT STALLED ON ME AGAIN THE NEXT DAY WHILE I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF A TURN. HEAD PERSON OVER THE MECHANICS SAID THAT CAR COULD KILL ME, BUT IT KEEPS STALLING AND THEY PUT ME BACK IN IT ANYWAY. VERY UNSAFE. I HAVE GREAT GRAND CHILDREN THAT RIDE WITH ME SOMETIMES. RECALL PREVIOUSLY ON THIS SAME VEHICLE, BUT WAS VIN SPECIFIC. WAS GOING OFF AN OFF RAMP AND IT STALLED ALSO. NO RYTHM OR REASON WHY OR WHEN IT WILL STALL.
