TRACK LIGHT COMES ON AND THE STEERIMG WHEEL. TIGHTENS UP. AND YOUR HAVE TO SHUT THE VAN OFF AND RESTART IT MY VAN CAN DO THIS 2-4 IN A DAY OR NOT AT ALL . JUST BOUGHT THE VAN ON 11/10/2020

VAN STALLS WHILE DRIVING, THE ENGINE COMPLETELY CUTS OUT WITHOUT WARNING. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE JANUARY 2020. THIS HAPPENS RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING, WHILE STOPPED AT A LIGHT AND AT IDLE WHEN IN PARK. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS BECAUSE THERE IS NO WARNING, MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO GET OUT OF HARMS WAY. SOMETIMES THE VAN WOULD START BACK UP AND OTHER TIMES IT REQUIRED A JUMP START. I HAVE CHANGED MY BATTERY AND STARTER, AND DO NOT HAVE ANY OTHER KEYS ON MY KEY FOB. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE TIPM ( TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE) AND THE IGNITION SWITCH. I HAVE CALLED THE DODGE DEALERSHIP AS WELL AS CHECKED SEVERAL WEBSITES TO SEE IF MY VEHICLE WAS RECALLED. IT IS NOT BASED ON MANUFACTURE DATE AND VIN. I AM AFRAID FOR MYSELF, MY FAMILY AND OTHER INNOCENT DRIVERS. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE THAT WILL CAUSE A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT OR FATALITY. I CANNOT SELL OR TRADE IN THIS VEHICLE KNOWING THAT IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE.

AT 35,000 KM WITH IN WARRANTY PERIOD CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME UP. WENT TO DEALER, THEY FOUND CYLINDER # 5 MISFIRED. ACCORDINGLY TO DEALER THIS WAS REPAIRED BY CERTIFIED TECH AND VAN WAS IN GARAGE FOR 1 WEEK. THEN THIS VAN STARTED STALLING ENGINE AT 99,000 KM APPROX. THE ENGINE STALLS AND NO CODE IS REGISTERED AT LOW SPEEDS AND TURNS. FINALLY ONE DAY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME UP 0406 CODE CAME IN WHILE CHECKING. MY MECHANIC CLEANED EGR VALVE CHANGED GASKETS. IT RUN FINE BUR STILL AFTER COUPLE OF MONTHS THE ENGINE STARED STALLING OCCASIONALLY. LEAVING STEERING WHEEL HARD TO CONTROL AND NO BREAKS. AT 135,00 THE ENGINE STOPPED RUNNING. TOOK TO GARAGE 2 CYLINDERS WERE DEAD, HAVE TO SPEND $ 4,000 TO GET A USED MOTOR IN THIS TO BRING IT BACK TO ROAD. CHANGED TIMING BELT, WATERPUMP AND EXTENDED WARRANTY IT DID RUN FINE FOR 6-7 MONTHS. IT AGAIN STARTED STALLING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS WHILE DRIVING, I SEARCHED, THERE ARE OVER 100 COMPLAINTS AND NO SOLUTION. WENT TO MECHANIC MANY TIMES BUT NO CODE IS STORED BUT STILL VAN ENGINE STALL. IT STALLS EVEN AT 60 KM/HR SPEED MAKING IT DANGEROUS TO OPERATE ON ROAD. I CAN REAR END OR CAN GET REAR ENDED AS IT STALLED. MOST DANGEROUS HAPPENED WHEN IT STALLED WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN AND LUCKILY THE ON COMING TRAFFIC WAS BIT FAR AWAY AND PERSON WAS ALERT TO STOP SAFETY WITHOUT HITTING. I AM AFRAID IF THIS HAPPENS AGAIN AND A TRUCK IS COMING STRAIGHT. DODGE IS NOT TAKING ANY RESPONSIBILITY OR INVESTIGATION FOR THIS ISSUE. I WILL LIKE SAFTEY AUTHORITIES TO TAKE ACTION AND SAVE LIVES. IT IS NOT SAFE TO KEEP DRIVING THIS VAN BUT HAVE NO CHOICE AS THERE IS NO SOLUTION PROVIDED BY MANUFACTURER AND HAVE NOT MUCH MONEY IN HAND TO BUY ANOTHER. ENGINE ISSUE, FRONT BREAK ISSUE ARE THE MAIN ISSUES IN THIS. MOST IMPORTANTLY THE SUDDEN ENGINE STALING AT ANY SPEED IS A DANGEROUS ISSUE TO HAVE

THE DRIVER'S SIDE SLIDING DOOR WON'T OPEN. IT WON'T UNLOCK. IT DOESN'T WORK WITH THE KEY FOB, DOESN'T WORK MANUALLY, DOESN'T WORK WITH THE OVERHEAD CONSOLE. EVERYONE WITH A DODGE HAS THIS PROBLEM, SOONER OR LATER! JUST READ THE FORUMS! THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE!! THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL!!!! 2010 AND UP! COMPLETELY UNUSABLE DOOR!

THE VAN CUT OFF ON ME WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET. . THERE WAS NO WARNING AHEAD OF TIME. AT FIRST I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE BUT EVEN AFTER FIXING THAT THE VAN DON'T WANT TO START BACK UP. AND NOW THE SECOND SHOP IS SAYING THAT THE ENGINE IS GONE BUT I DON'T THINK THAT THAT'S THE ISSUE BECAUSE I HAD A DIAGNOSTIC TEST 3 WEEKS BEFORE AND IT SAID NOTHING ABOUT A BAD ENGINE
