2010 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN Complaints

SHUDDERING WHILE DRIVING AND LOUD NOISE COMING FROM FRONT OF VAN WHILE STOPPING. MADE IT HOME AND HUSBAND INSPECTED THE BRAKES TO FIND THAT PINS WERE MISSING FROM THE CALIPERS! PINS SHOULD NOT JUST FALL OUT OF CALIPERS. SO MANY OTHERS HAVE POSTED ISSUES WITH BRAKES FROM THIS MAKE/MODEL OF CAR, YET NO RECALLS. WHY?? *TR

WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED, IT SOUNDS AS IF METAL IS RUBBING AGAINST METAL. BRAKE PADS ARE BRAND NEW AND ROTORS ARE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE LOOKED AT AND HAVE ALSO TALKED TO OTHERS TO FIND OUT THE CALIPERS ARE BAD AND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. EVEN WHEN REPLACED, THE SAME THING BEGINS TO HAPPEN SHORTLY AFTERWARDS. *TR

MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING OUR FAMILY HOME AND SOME ONE LOST CONTROL OF THEIR VEHICLE AND OUR CARAVAN HIT THEM HEAD ON. THE WHOLE FRONT OF VAN WAS AFFECTED AND IT WAS DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS. NONE OF AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AND THE PASSENGER REAR BUCKET SEAT BELT FAILED AND MY 5 YEAR-OLD'S CARSEAT FLEW INTO THE PASSENGER SEAT AND CONSOLE. HIS NECK AND LEG WERE INJURED AND HE WAS TAKEN TO LOCAL ER BY AMBULANCE. I WAS THE PASSENGER AND MY NECK HAS BEEN SEVERELY INJURED. I FEEL IF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED MY NECK MAY NOT BE AS BAD. I WAS HORRIFIED WHEN I SAW MY SONS CARSEAT NOT IN THE SEAT. THIS VAN OBVIOUSLY HAS SAFETY ISSUES. *TR

2010 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN DID NOT START. THIS HAS BEEN AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM. IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR APPROXIMATELY 1 YEAR. TURN THE KEY AND ALL OF THE ACCESSORIES WORK BUT STARTER CLICKS BUT WILL NOT TURN THE MOTOR OVER. TOOK VEHICLE TO THE DEALER ON 4/30/2014 AND WAS TOLD THE STARTER WAS BAD AND WAS REPLACED. DROVE THE VEHICLE TO SCHOOL THAT DAY TO PICK UP CHILD AND VEHICLE DID NOT START. AFTER SEVERAL TRIES IT STARTED. DROVE TO WORK LATER IN THE DAY, SHUT THE VEHICLE DOWN AND TRIED TO RESTART IT AND IT WOULD NOT START. BATTERY HAS BEEN TESTED AND IS GOOD. ALL SIGNS POINT TO A FAULTY WIN. AFTER READING RECALLS ABOUT WIN WIRELESS INTERFACE NODE MODULES, I, LIKE SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE, HAVE FOUND THAT MY VEHICLE DOES NOT FALL UNDER THIS RECALL, MISSING IT BY 3 MONTHS. VEHICLE HAS BEEN BROUGHT BACK TO THE DEALER TO TRY TO GET THE VEHICLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. CONTACTED CHRYSLER/DODGE'S 1 800 NUMBER AND WAS TOLD THE COMPLAINT WAS GOING TO BE ESCALATED TO THE NEXT LEVEL BECAUSE I HAVE CALLED THEM BEFORE ABOUT THIS ISSUE. I NOW FEAR THAT IT WILL SHUT DOWN WHEN I'M TRAVELING OR WILL NOT START WHEN I NEED IT TO AND BE LEFT STRANDED. *TR
