2010 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN Complaints

WHEN DRIVING VEHICLE, VEHICLE STALLED OUT AND STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO STEER. WHEN VEHICLE PUT IN PARK, WE WERE ABLE TO RE-START. THIS IS THE 2ND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. TWO DAY PREVIOUS CAR STALLED OUT WHILE DRIVING ON A FLAT SURFACE AT ABOUT 35 MPH. STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND HAD TO STOP IN CENTER TURN LAND COMPLETELY, PUT IN PARK, AND RE-START VEHICLE. *TR

MY WIFE BEGAN HEARING A NOISE SEVERAL MONTHS AGO. IT TURNED OUT TO BE THE REAR BRAKES MAKING THE SOUND. SHE HEARD IT ALMOST EVERY TIME SHE DROVE THE VEHICLE. FINALLY I HEARD A GROANING SOUND MYSELF. THE REAR WHEELS WERE VERY HOT COMPARED TO THE FRONT. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WE BOUGHT IT FROM. HE TOLD ME HE HAS SEEN MANY OF THESE VEHICLES COME IN WITH THE SAME ISSUE. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 19000 MILES ON IT SO I THOUGHT IT WAS A WARRANTY ISSUE. HE TOLD ME THE BRAKE SYSTEM IS ONLY WARRANTED FOR 12000 MILES. HE TOLD ME IT WILL COST ME ABOUT $365.00 TO CHANGE ALL THE PARTS. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH CHRYSLER/ DODGE AND THEY ARE ONLY GIVING ME $150.00. OBVIOUSLY THEY KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLES OR WHY WOULD THEY BE GIVING ME ANY CREDIT AT ALL IF THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY? THEY TOLD ME THE CALIPERS LOCKED UP AND THAT WAS THE PROBLEM. I WORK WITH 2 OTHER PEOPLE THAT HAVE THE SAME VEHICLE AND HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. ONE DEALERSHIP CHANGED THE ROTORS, PADS, AND CALIPERS FOR HIM 3 TIMES AT NO CHARGE!! IT HAPPENS ON HIS VEHICLE ABOUT EVERY 10000 MILES. THE OTHER OWNER HAS THE SAME DEALER I HAVE AND WAS GIVEN THE SAME LINE I WAS. HE WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR IT. I CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT THE CONSEQUENCES WOULD BE IF MY WIFE IS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 65 MILES PER HOUR AND THE REAR BRAKES LOCK UP!! YOU BETTER BELIEVE THERE WILL BE A MEGA-LAWSUIT!! HOW MANY OTHER PEOPLE ARE AWARE OF THIS ISSUE? THIS NEEDS TO BE BROUGHT UP ON THE NATIONAL NEWS AND PEOPLE NEED TO BE AWARE OF IT BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED OR INJURED FROM THE BRAKES LOCKING UP. THANK YOU FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY TO COMPLAIN AND I HOPE SOMETHING COMES OF IT! *TR

MY 2010 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN WOULD OCCASIONALLY STALL WHEN STARTED. BUT IN THE LAST MONTH IT HAS STALLED THREES TIME WHILE DRIVING, ON ONE OCCASION IT STALLED PULLING OUT OF A PARKING LOT INTO TRAFFIC. THE DEALER IS YET TO FIND ANYTHING WRONG. *TR

MY HUSBAND, 2 YEAR OLD SON, AND I WERE 2 HOURS AWAY FROM HOME ON A CAMPING TRIP. WE WERE DRIVING HOME ON THE HIGHWAY AND OUR 2010 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN SHUT OFF. THANK GOD NO ONE WAS CLOSE BEHIND US AND WE WERE ABLE TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND RESTART IT. WHEN I CAME HOME, I SEE THEY HAVE KNOW ABOUT THIS SINCE AT LEAST MARCH, AND WE HAVE RECEIVED NO RECALL INFORMATION. WE ARE NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE THE ONLY CAR WE HAVE, AS WE ARE AFRAID NEXT TIME, WE WILL GET REAR ENDED BECAUSE OF THIS. *TR
