2010 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN Complaints

I BOUGHT A 2010 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN SXT. THE COMPANY WILL NOT TURN ON THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS. THEY ALWAYS TURNED THEM ON WHEN I BOUGHT PREVIOUS YEAR VANS. IT HAS BEEN PROVEN TO BE A WORTHWHILE SAFETY ITEM. MY INSURANCE COMPANY WOULD GIVE ME A 10% REDUCTION FOR THIS ITEM. THE OPTION IS AVAILABLE AND TURNED ON FOR VEHICLES SOLD IN CANADA. I FEEL THIS IS A SERIOUS FAULT THAT WILL RESULT IN MORE CRASHES FOR THIS VEHICLE. *TR

SUPPLEMENTAL TO CASE 10315972. FIRST EVENT 2/10/10. AFTER REPEATED COMPLAINTS TO THE DEALER, DODGE INSTALLED COMPUTER TO CATCH CODES DURING NEXT EVENT. AFTER ONE WEEK AND NO MORE INCIDENTS, THEY REMOVED THE COMPUTER. HAVE NOT BEEN DRIVING THE VAN SINCE THEN. TOO SCARED. DROVE TODAY 5/12/10 AND SHUT DOWN AGAIN. THIS TIME UPON ACCELERATING FROM PARKING LOT SPEED OF ABOUT 6-8 MILES AS THE DOORS AUTOMATICALLY LOCKED THE ENGINE CUT OUT. SCHEDULED TO TAKE TO THE DEALER FOR THEM TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT. *TR

WE PURCHASED A 2010 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN IN DECEMBER 2010. THREE WEEKS AGO AS I WAS PULLING OUT OF A DRIVEWAY THAT HAD A DRAIN GUTTER DIP THE VAN SHUT OFF COMPLETELY. I HIT THE DIP AT ABOUT 10 MPH. TWO WEEKS AGO IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THIS TIME WHEN I WENT OVER A SPEED BUMP IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. THE DODGE DEALER REPAIR SHOP SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY LOOSE CONNECTIONS OR CODES. THEY SEEMED TO CARE VERY LITTLE OF OUR REPORT AND SAID THEY COULD NOT RECREATE THE TROUBLE AND TO CALL THEM NEXT TIME. ONLY AFTER CALLING THE DEALER EXECUTIVES WE ARE TO BRING THE VAN BACK FOR A CHECK BY A MECHANIC. OTHER THOUGHTS: BOTH TIMES I HAD TO PUT THE GEAR IN NEUTRAL TO RESTART. BOTH FRONT TIRES HIT AT THE SAME TIME. WHEN ONLY ONE WHEEL HITS A BUMP OR POTHOLE , IT DOES NOT HAPPEN. WE WERE AT ABOUT 5,000 MILES WHEN THIS HAPPENED. *TR

I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2010 GRAND CARAVAN SE IN JANUARY. WHILE MAKING A TURN OVER A PUDDLE OF WATER THE CAR POWERED DOWN, I.E. LOST POWER STEERING AND ALL CONTROL. I THEN TOOK THE KEY OUT AND PUT IT BACK IN AND IT POWERED UP. THIS OCCURRED WITHIN THE 1ST 100 MILES. AT 350-400 MILES IT STARTED TO POWER DOWN WHILE STOPPING AT A RED LIGHT BUT DID NOT COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. THIS OCCURRED AGAIN BETWEEN 450-500 MILES. I TOOK THE CAR INTO THE DEALER & THEY COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM. I CONTACTED THE DEALER FOR EACH OCCURRENCE. NO ACCIDENTS, YET. *TR

TIRE SENSOR STEMS ARE CRACKED FOR NO APPARENT REASON. MAY LEAD TO CATASTROPHIC TIRE PRESSURE LOSS. *TR
