2008 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN Complaints

SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. MY VAN STARTS ON ITS OWN. THE HORN BLARES AND WON'T STOP. WIPERS COME ON AND THE ENGINE WON'T STOP. DOES THIS WITHOUT A KEY IN THE IGNITION. WHEN DRIVING YOU LOSE COMPLETE CONTROL OF THE TRANSMISSION AND THE ENGINE WILL NOT TURN OFF. DODGE NEEDS TO DO A RECALL AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. I'M AFRAID TO PARK IN THE GARAGE BECAUSE IT STARTS ON ITS OWN. I'M WORRIED THE CARBON MONOXIDE WILL ASPHYXIATE MY FAMILY. I'VE CALLED THE DODGE MAIN HEADQUARTERS AND THEY PLAY DUMB LIKE THEY NEVER HEARD OF THIS HAPPENING. I FOUND THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE. IT'S IN THE DODGE DEALER RIGHT NOW. HOPING TO FIX THE ISSUE. THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. THE ACTUAL PROBLEM IS CALLED A BAD TIPM (TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE). *TR

WHEN I STOP THE VAN, PUT IT IN PARK & SHUT IT OFF, THE KEY IS STUCK IN THE ACC POSITION AND WILL NOT MOVE TO THE OFF POSITION. IN ORDER TO GET THE KEY TO RELEASE, I HAVE TO START THE CAR MULTIPLE TIMES, MOVE THE SHIFT IN & OUT OF PARK, MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL AND EVENTUALLY I WILL HEAR A "CLICKING" NOISE AND THE KEY RELEASES AND WILL THEN MOVE INTO THE OFF POSITION. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND ASKED IF THIS COULD HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE CURRENT RECALL FOR THE IGNITION SWITCH AND WAS TOLD NO. HAS ANYBODY ELSE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM? *TR

WE BOUGHT THIS VAN NEW IN APRIL OF 2008 AND IN AUGUST 2008 AND WITH 16,000 MILES I HAD TO REPLACE THE BRAKE ROTORS PADS AND ONE CALIPER. THEN TWO MONTHS LATER I HAD TO REPLACE THE REAR BRAKES WHICH INCLUDED THE ROTORS, PADS, AND CALIPERS. IN LATE 2009 I HAVE TO REPLACE BOTH FRONT AND BACK BRAKE SYSTEMS DO TO FAILURE. NOW IT IS SEPTEMBER OF 2014 AND AFTER REPLACING THE BRAKES ON BOTH FRONT AND BACK AXLES 5 TIMES THERE NEEDING TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. I HAVE TAKEN THE VAN TO OUR LOCAL DODGE DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT'S JUST HARD DRIVING. I HAD TO REPLACE THE REAR EVAPORATOR AT 89,000 ALONG WITH RUBBER HEATER LINES THAT YOU CAN ONLY BUY AS A SET AT OVER $120.00. NOW THE RIGHT REAR DOOR CAN ONLY BE OPENED FROM THE INSIDE AND THE DOOR LOCKS ONLY WORK SOMETIMES. WENT OUT 09-17-14 TO MOVE THE VAN TO MY GARAGE TO WORK ON IT AND ALL OF THE LIGHTS WENT OUT AND THE HORN WENT OFF ALONG WITH THE WIPERS AND WIPER FLUID PUMP. HOW LONG BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED BEFORE THEY FIX THESE ISSUES. THIS IS MY LAST CHRYSLER PRODUCT AFTER OWNING 5 GOOD ONES. THIS IS DO TO THERE INABILITY OR NEGLIGENCE IN FIXING THESE PROBLEMS. *TR

VAN WOULD NOT START AT TIMES OR WOULD STALL OUT AT TIMES WHILE DRIVING AND LOSE ALL POWER AND BRAKES WHEN WE HIT DOOR OPEN BUTTON IT WOULD OPEN HALF WAY WHILE MY KIDS WOULD BE GETTING OUT THEN SHUT ON THEM. VAN NOW WON'T START AT ALL GOT TOWED AND THE DIAGNOSTIC CAME BACK THE WIN MODULE IS CAUSE OF FAILURE(WIRELESS IGNITION MODULE). *TR
