2008 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 14V373000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) AND STATED THAT THE PART NEEDED WAS UNAVAILABLE TO PERFORM THE REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCE A FAILURE.

TIRE PRESSURE WAS A BIT LOW ON 2 PASSENGER SIDE TIRES SO ADDED AIR. END OF VALVE STEM (ABOUT 1/4" OF THREAD) BROKE OFF IN THE PUMP NOZZLE TAKING THE VALVE CORE WITH IT IMMEDIATELY RELEASING ALL THE AIR IN THE TIRE IN A SUDDEN RUSH. ON INSPECTION UNIT WAS CORRODED BADLY, SAME SITUATION ON REAR TIRE. THERE IS A RECALL ON THE 2014 DODGE RAM TRUCK FOR THIS VERY ISSUE. THERE ARE NUMEROUS SITUATIONS RECOUNTED ON THE INTERNET OF EXACTLY THIS ISSUE FOR VARIOUS MODEL YEARS OF THE DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. ASIDE FROM THE COST AND INCONVENIENCE OF HAVING TO REPLACE THE TPMS SENSOR, IF THIS WERE TO HAPPEN AT HIGH SPEED A CRASH POSSIBLY WITH FATALITIES WOULD LIKELY OCCUR. DODGE/CHRYSLER REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS PROBABLY BECAUSE IT WOULD BE VERY COSTLY FOR THEM TO RESOLVE AND LIKELY SUITS FOR WRONGFUL DEATH AND NEGLIGENCE. *TR

MY VEHICLE STOPS RUNNING WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD.......THIS HAPPENED OCCASIONALLY BUT IS HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY. THIS MORNING IT HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING AROUND A CURVE AND I NEARLY WRECKED. *TR

THERE IS A CURRENT RECALL ON OUR VEHICLE, THE L25 WIN MODULE DETENTION RING. THE VEHICLES KEY CAN MOVE INTO THE ACCESSORY MODE AND THE CAR SHUTS OFF, NO POWER STEERING, NO BOWER BRAKES, NO AIRBAG ETC. VEHICLE JUST ROLLS TO A STOP. THIS HAS HAPPENED 5 TIMES WHILE MY WIFE IS DRIVING THE CAR WITH OUR 3 CHILDREN INSIDE. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS FOR MY FAMILY AND OTHERS ON THE ROADWAY. DODGE DOES NOT HAVE THE PART TO FIX MY VEHICLE AND CAN NOT TELL ME WHEN THIS PART WILL COME AVAILABLE. THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO DO ANYTHING FOR ME AND JUST TELL ME THEY UNDERSTAND MY SITUATION AND THEY ARE SORRY. I'M TOLD BY DODGE CUSTOMER SERVICE, 800-334-9200 THAT THEY HAVE BEEN AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM SINCE 2011. I WOULD HOPE THAT YOU CAN FOLLOW UP WITH DODGE AS THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. *TR
