2008 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN Complaints

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT SLOW SPEED IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, THE CAR RANDOMLY SHUTS OFF. THE POWER STEERING, THE POWER BRAKES AND THE ENGINE STOP WORKING. IT IS HAPPENING NOW MORE FREQUENTLY - TWICE TODAY AND MY WIFE AND KIDS NEARLY HAD A HEAD ON ACCIDENT. LUCKILY THE OTHER CAR WAS ABLE TO SWERVE TO MISS OUR VAN OTHERWISE THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN A HEAD-ON. I TOOK THE CAR TO MY DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE LAST FEW MONTHS BASED ON A RECALL NOTICE THAT WAS ISSUED FOR THE VAN. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO FIX IT AND THAT THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHEN THE PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE. HOW MANY PEOPLE NEED TO BE HURT BY THIS ISSUE BEFORE THEY START DELIVERING THE PARTS TO FIX IT? *TR

I FIRST HAD TO HAVE FRONT WHEEL BEARING REPLACED AT 79,000 MILES OCT 2012, NOW THEY ARE BAD AGAIN AT 127,000 MILES. I'VE NEVER HAD TO REPLACE A SET OF WHEEL BEARINGS ON A VEHICLE LET ALONE TWO TIMES IN THIS SHORT OF DISTANCE,"MILES". CHRYSLER WON'T REPLACE THEM BUT THEY HAVE A SERVICE BULLETINS SAYING THEY WILL BUT IT DOESN'T DIRECTLY AFFECT MY VIN # SO I'M OUT OF LUCK TO OVER $1000 TO FIX IT MYSELF. *TR

INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS THAT ARE BECOMING MUCH MORE FREQUENT ALMOST DAILY WITH CAR NOT STARTING WHEN THE KEY FOB IS TURNED. KEY FOB SEEMS LOOSE AND TURNS EASILY BUT NOTHING HAPPENS. I HAVE TO TURN BACK TO OFF, PULL FOB OUT, PLACE BACK IN, TRY TO RESTART, USUALLY MULTIPLE TIME AND USUALLY BY ABOUT THE 10TH TIME THE PLANETS ALIGN AND IT STARTS AS IF NOTHING IS WRONG. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, THANKFULLY IT WOULD NOT START FOR THEM AND THEN IT FINALLY DID. THEY SAID THAT THE WIRELESS ELECTRIC IGNITION NODE HAD TO BE REPLACED AND THAT THIS PROBLEM WAS NOT RELATED TO THE RECALL ISSUE WITH THE KEY FOB AND PUTTING TO MUCH STUFF ON THE KEY CHAIN. *TR
