2008 DODGE CARAVAN Electrical System Problems

I HAVE HAD MY DODGE 2008 CARAVAN FOR SOMETIME. WAS ORIGINALLY TAKEN FOR REPAIRS TO THE SLIDING DOOR RECALL.

Mileage: 50,000

ORIGINALLY HAD TAKEN CAR IN FOR RECALL. THE RECALL WAS FOR BOTH DOORS. THE DEALER HAD DELIVERED THE CAR AND TOLD ME I WOULD BE CONTACTED FOR REPAIR ON THE PASSENGER DOOR ONCE THE PARTS WERE IN STOCK. AFTER MONTHS OF WAITING I FINALLY CONTACTED THEM AND WAS TOLD THAT THE PARTS WERE IN STOCK. I MADE THE APPOINTMENT AND WHEN I WAS SET TO DROP OFF THE VAN I WAS TOLD THAT I WAS GOING TO BE CHARGED BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN PUT IN AS COMPLETE IN THE DEALERS RECORDS BUT SHOWED PARTS NOT INSTALLED. I WAS TOLD TO CONTACT DODGE AND LEFT THE VAN THERE OVERNIGHT. THE NEXT DAY I SPENT A LOT OF TIME ON THE PHONE TO GET THE RUNAROUND WITH DODGE. I PICKED UP THE CAR AND DIDN'T HAVE THE REPAIR DONE. MY FAMILY HAS USED THE VAN EVER SINCE. I HAVE ALWAYS PUT OFF REPAIRING IT BECAUSE IT WAS A RECALL THAT BROKE DOWN AS DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL VERBATIM AND IS A HAZARD FOR MULTIPLE REASONS AND I WOULD BLAME DODGE DIRECTLY IF ANYTHING WERE TO HAPPEN. I HAVE CONTACTED THEM SEVERAL TIMES THROUGH OUT THE LAST FEW YEARS TRYING TO RECTIFY THIS EGREGIOUS SITUATION. I WAS TOLD THAT THE RECORDS INDICATE ONLY ONE SIDE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER THE RECALL STILL TO THIS DAY SHOWS COMPLETE. I TAKE PRIDE IN BUYING AND MAINTAINING AN 'AMERICAN MADE' PRODUCT AND WOULD HAVE FIXED THIS SEVERAL TIMES OVER HAD IT NOT BEEN FOR PRINCIPLE. DODGE DOES NOT SEEM TO BE CONCERNED FOR A CUSTOMER WHO IS A FAMILY MAN. I PROTECT MY FAMILY WITH MY OWN LIFE. IT IS DIFFICULT TO ONLY USE ONE DOOR WHEN PARKING ON A BUSY STREET WITH 2-5 CHILDREN WHO ARE FORCED TO GET OUT ONTO A BUSY STREET IF THAT IS THE ONLY OPTION. IT CAN BE VERY RISKY. EVEN PICKING THEM UP FROM SCHOOL THEY ARE MADE TO WALK TO THE DRIVERS SIDE OF THE CAR EVEN THOU THE PICK UP SIDE IS ON THE PASSENGER. SECONDLY MY MAIN ISSUE IS A SHORT WHILE DRIVING. PROTRUDING WIRES COULD BE PINCHED IF THE DOOR IS USED WHICH COULD LEAD TO A FIRE OR FAULT IN THE DOOR FUNCTIONALITY

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2008 DODGE CARAVAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE REAR MODULE IGNITED AND MELTED. AS A RESULT, ALL THE CONNECTING WIRES WERE DAMAGED. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC BUT WAS UNABLE TO ASSIST AND SUGGESTED THE VEHICLE BE SEEN BY A DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN DRIVEN TO THE DEALER MILFORD CHRYSLER SALES (500 US-209, MILFORD, PA 18337 (570) 409-4046) AND INFORMED THE CONTACT TO CALL THE INSURANCE COMPANY USAA. THE INSURANCE COMPANY WENT TO THE DEALER, INSPECTED THE VEHICLE, AND THEN DEEMED THE VEHICLE AS A TOTAL LOSS. THE ORIGIN OF THE FIRE WAS UNKNOWN. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES REPORTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 118,000. *DT ATTACHED IS THE AUDIO.*JB *DT(7/30/19)*JB

Mileage: 118,000

TRAVELING 55 DOWN HIGHWAY SUDDENLY BRAKE ENGAGES AND BRAKE CAME UP ON DASH BOARD.BRAKE STAYS ON FOR A MINUTE OR SO THEN NOTICE THAT IT SOUNDS AS IF I AM OVER REVVING ENGINE. WHEN I COULD SAFELY PULL OVER I DID SO PUT IN PARK FOR A MINUTE WENT AGAIN AS SOON AS I REACHED OVER 35 IT STILL SOUNDED AS IF I WAS OVER REVVING ENGINE. WHEN I COULD SAFELY PULL OVER AGAIN I SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF AT THIS TIME THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS START GOING AND THE HORN IS SOUNDING OFF. I THEN GOT OUT DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY WAITED FOR 5 MINITES RECONNECTED. I THEN PRECEDED TO GO AGAIN AND STILL SOUNDED AS IF I WAS REVVING ENGINE PUT 4 WAYS ON AND PRECEEDED HOME AT 25 MILES AN HOUR ON A SECONDARY ROAD. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL OTHER TIMES WHEN TAKEN IN TO THE DEALER THEY COULD NOT FIND ISSUE THIS WAS WHILE STILL UNDER WARRANTY. NO ONE HAS BEEN ABLE TO FIGURE IT OUT.

Mileage: 175,000

IGNITION SWITCHE WAS REPLACED ON A RECALL. BUT NOW THIS IGNITIN SWITCHES IS NOT WORKING RIGHT. SOME TIMES THE VAN WILL NOT START. I HAD IT CHECK OUT AND ITS THE IGNITION SWITCHE THAT WAS REPLACED ON MY CAR BECAUSE OF THE RECALL. WHAT DO I DO NOW TO GET THIS REPLACED AGAIN. THE VAN MAY SHUT OFF WHEN DRIVING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 DODGE CARAVAN. WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH, THE KEY FELL OUT OF THE IGNITION SWITCH AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ALL THE INSTRUMENT PANEL INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE'S ALARM WOULD AUTOMATICALLY SOUND WITH NO INTRUSION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO GINN CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP (5190 US-278, COVINGTON, GA 30014) FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND REPAIRS. THE DIAGNOSIS INFORMATION WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

Mileage: 100,000

MY HEADLIGHTS ARE FLICKERING I SEE MANY CAR COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE TIPM RELAY AND WANT IT FIXED UNDER THE RECALL I COULD HAVE HAD A CAR ACCIDENT THIS ISSUE SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIXED

WAS DRIVING HOME AT NIGHT WHEN RANDOMLY MY LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING, HORN STARTED BLARING, WINDSHIELD WIPERS STARTED GOING OFF, WASHER FLUID WAS SPRAYING EVERYWHERE. LOCKS WERE LOCKING AND UNLOCKING. I ENDED UP DRIVING INTO SOMEONE'S LAWN AS I COULD NOT SEE PROPERLY WITH POOR LIGHTING AND ALL THE DISTRACTIONS. ONCE I GOT HOME THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO BE POSSESSED EVEN WITHOUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION. I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO GET EVERYTHING TO STOP AFTER UNPLUGGING THE BATTERY. UPON INTERNET RESEARCH IT DIDN'T TAKE LONG TO REALIZE IT WAS TIPM FUSE BOX ISSUE, I HAVE FOUND SEVERAL OTHER CUSTOMERS WITH THE SAME BOX HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. I HAVE GONE TO THE JUNKYARD 3 TIMES AND GRABBED A USED TIPM FUSE BOX REPLACEMENT. THE FIRST REPLACEMENT THE CAR WOULD NOT START. SECOND REPLACEMENT THERE WAS A LOT OF TROUBLE LIGHTS ON THE DASH AND THE ODOMETER DID NOT WORK. WITH MY MOST RECENT REPLACEMENT THE HEADLIGHTS DON'T WORK. SO INCLUDING MY ORIGINAL TIPM , THAT'S 4 FAULTY TIPMS. DO YOU NOTICE A PROBLEM OR PATTERN HERE?

Mileage: 158,000

MANY ISSUES, APPEAR TO BE RELATED TO THE TIPM. HEADLIGHTS INTERMITTENTLY STOP WORKING, AS DO THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS(VARIOUS TIMES, WHEN DRIVING/WHEN STARTING THE CAR). CAR HORN BEEPS WHEN DRIVER DOOR IS OPENED. AIR CONDITIONER/HEATER INTERMITTENTLY STOPS WORKING (WHEN DRIVING), WILL USUALLY COME BACK ON AFTER PULLING OVER AND RESTARTING THE CAR. VERY DANGEROUS IN THE WINTER.

Mileage: 120,000

THE INTEGRATED POWER MODULE FAILS, LEADING TO THE ENGINE CUTTING OUT, AS WELL AS HORN, WIPERS AND WASHER GOING OFF RANDOMLY. THIS HAPPENS REGARDLESS OF TEMPERATURE, DRIVING CONDITIONS, ETC. THE DEALERS KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THE ISSUE IS, AND LOVE THE $1200+ THE GET FOR REPLACEMENT OF THIS NOTORIOUSLY DEFECTIVE PART.

Mileage: 134,000

THE ELTERICE PROUBLEMS WITH THE DRIVERS CONTROLL SWITCH TOO OPEN AN CLOSE THE WINDOWS , HAS IT BEEN KNOW TOO CATCH ON FIRE AN MAKE ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH BOARD GO ON AN OFF NOW AN THEN .LUCKY WE JUST'D STARTED UP THE VAN TOO WARN UP AN ALL THEN SUDDEN WE NOTICE THE DRIVERS CONTORLL SWITCH WAS ON FIRE .

MY VAN IS UP TO DATE ON ALL RECALLS, BUT IT HAS BEGUN TO SHUT OFF RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING. THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON AND WHOLE THING SHUTS OFF. I HAVE SEEN A TON OF OTHERS WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT. THE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN LESS THAN HELPFUL. I HAVE POURED MONEY INTO THE CAR, BUT IT IS UNSAFE. LOOKS LIKE A RECALL ISSUE. THERE IS NO RHYME OR REASON TO WHEN IT SHUTS OFF. THANKFULLY, IT HAS BEEN AT LESS THAN 30 MPH BECAUSE IT IS VERY UNSAFE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 DODGE CARAVAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE KEY FOB DID NOT OPEN THE VEHICLE'S DOORS CORRECTLY AND TRIGGERED THE VEHICLE'S ALARM SYSTEM. WHENEVER THE CONTACT ADJUSTED THE STEERING WHEEL IN AN UPWARD POSITION, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE OR REPAIR THE VEHICLE BECAUSE IT WAS INCLUDED IN A RECALL THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE THE RECALL INFORMATION WAS NOT PROVIDED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000. UPDATED 06/13/17*LJ *CN

Mileage: 100,000

MY 2008 CARAVAN ORIGINALLY HAD A RECALL AN REPLACEMENT OF THE ELECTRICAL SLIDING DOOR THAT WERE FAULTY AN COULD CATCH FIRE. NOW THAT WAS REPLACED, IT'S ALREADY FAILED AND CAUSED A HOLE NEW SAFETY ISSUE. IF THE DOOR IS NOT COMPLETELY CLOSED THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT DOESN'T COME ON AND THE DOOR FLYS OPEN WHILE IN MOTION. BOTH DOORS HAVE COMPLETELY FAILED AND NO LONGER FUNCTION AS INTENDED. THIS CONCERNS ME SINCE I HAVE SMALL CHILDREN AN THEIR HANDS OR LIMBS COULD BE SMASHED BY THE DOOR WHILE IN MOTION.

Mileage: 140,000

THE VAN WILL BE SITTING IN DRIVEWAY AND THE HORN STARTS BLOWING, THE WIPERS WILL COME ON AND WASHER MOTOR WILL COME ON TOO AND THE HEADLIGHTS COME ON ALSO SOMETIMES THE ENGINE WILL TURN OFF GOING DOWN THE ROAD. WE CAN'T DRIVE IT VERY FAR MY WIFE DRIVES IT TO WORK A FEW BLOCKS AWAY BUT THAT'S ABOUT IT WE ARE AFRAID TO DRIVE IT ANYWHERE.

THE SWITCH HOUSING IN THE DRIVERS DOOR THAT CONTROLS THE WINDOWS ON MY 2008 DODGE CARAVAN CAUGHT FIRE WHEN MY DAUGHTER ROLLED DOWN HER WINDOW ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT THE TIME AND WAS ONLY A COUPLE OF BLOCKS FROM THE HOUSE. DODGE HAS RECALLED THE 2010-2014 MODELS WITH THE 3RD ROW ELECTRIC VENT WINDOWS WHICH MY VEHICLE ALSO HAS. I REPORTED THE INCIDENT TO FCA, THE PARENT COMPANY OF DODGE, AND WAS TOLD I WOULD RECEIVE A CALL FROM THEIR INVESTIGATIVE UNIT IN 48HRS. THAT WAS MORE THAN A WEEK AGO. MULTIPLE CALLS LATER AND THEY STILL HAVE NOT BOTHERED TO CALL ME BACK.

Mileage: 135,000

VEHICLE BEGAN HAVING INTERMITTENT, INVOLUNTARY ACTIVATION OF WIPERS, SQUIRTERS, HORN, LIGHTS AND LOCKS. THESE OUTBURSTS WERE UNPREDICTABLE AND WOULD HAPPEN WHETHER VEHICLE WAS RUNNING OR NOT, SOMETIMES WHEN THE KEY WAS NOT EVEN IN THE VEHICLE. THERE WAS NO WAY TO PREDICT THE BEHAVIOR, OR TO STOP IT ONCE IT BEGAN.

Mileage: 112,987

CAR WAS NOT RUNNING AND KEYS WERE NOT IN THE IGNITION, THEY WERE LAYING ON THE DASH. NO ONE WAS IN THE VEHICLE. WHEN THE PASSENGER'S FRONT DOOR WAS OPENED THE HORN STARTED HONKING AND WINDSHIELD WASHER STARTED SPRAYING (WIPERS WERE NOT ACTIVATED).IT LASTED ONLY A COUPLE SECONDS AND STOPPED. IT ALSO ACTIVATED THE DRIVER'S SIDE MIRROR'S AUTO DIM FEATURE. ONCE I WAS ON THE ROAD DISCOVERED IT ALSO PREVENTED THE CAR FROM SHIFTING OUT OF FIRST GEAR. I TRIED MANUALLY SHIFTING AND SLIPPING IT FROM DRIVE TO NEUTRAL BUT THAT HAD NO EFFECT. THE INDICATOR LIGHT SHOWED NO RESPONSE TO THE MANUAL SHIFTING IT JUST REMAINED ON THE "D". THE VAN DID GO INTO NEUTRAL AND THE INDICATOR LIGHT SHOWED "N". I DIDN'T TRY THE VAN AGAIN UNTIL 24HRS LATER AND EVERYTHING WAS WORKING FINE. AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE I SEE THERE IS AN OBVIOUS PROBLEM WITH THE TIPM AND WILL BE REPLACING IT. IF THIS WOULD HAVE OCCURED IN HEAVY TRAFFIC THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN A DEFINITE SAFETY HAZARD ISSUE. I WAS LUCKY IT HAPPENED AT HOME AND IT ONLY LASTED A FEW SECONDS. OTHERS HAVE NOT BEEN THAT LUCKY!! THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE THAT IF IT HASN'T ALREADY IT VERY EASILY COULD HAVE DEADLY CONSEQUENCES. MAKE THE RECALL!!

Mileage: 75,000

TIPM IN VAN IS BAD, CAR ACTING COMPLETELY CRAZY.

I HAVE BEEN ON THE LIST TO GET THIS RECALL REPAIRED AND DEALER SAYS THEY ONLY GET PARTS TO REPAIR 3-4 VEHICLES PER MONTH AND THERE ARE OVER 200 VEHICLES ON THEIR LIST. IF THIS IS THE CASE THEN IT WILL BE YEARS BEFORE MY CAR CAN BE REPAIRED. I THINK THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. WHAT ELSE CAN I DO?

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS AND IN VARIOUS ROAD CONDITIONS, THIS DODGE CARAVAN DID LOSE COMPLETE ENGINE POWER. THE MOST FRIGHTENING WAS AT 70MPH ON THE FREEWAY AT NIGHT! A VERY SMOOTH STRETCH OF FREEWAY AND THE HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT AND THE ENGINE STOPPED RUNNING. RECALL R03/NHTSA14V-373 WAS PREFORMED ON THIS DODGE BUT ENGINE POWER LOSS PERSIST. IT WOULD APPEAR THAT A POWER MODULE COULD BE THE PROBLEM AND DODGE KNOWS IT. THIS IS A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS AND LETHAL SITUATION. DURING THIS ENGINE SHUTDOWN, CRITICAL ELEMENTS OF VEHICLE SAFETY ARE LOST INCLUDING EFFECTIVE BRAKING, STEERING AND AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT MECHANICALS.

Mileage: 136,000

VEHICLE WIPERS AND WASHERS START ON THEIR OWN, HORN WILL BLOW, LIGHTS FLICKER, DOOR LOCKS OPEN AND CLOSE, VEHICLE WILL NOT SHUT OFF OR SOMETIMES WILL NOT START. THIS HAS HAPPENED BOTH WHILE DRIVING AND STATIONARY.

RECEIVED L25 RECALL NOTICE FOR MY 2008 DODGE CARAVAN (WIRELESS IGNITION NODE ~ UNINTENTIONAL MOVEMENT) IN EARLY JUNE. PLACED 3 CALLS TO LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP AND THEY DISPLAYED NO SENSE OF URGENCY WHATSOEVER TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. IT IS CLEAR THAT, WHILE THEY BOAST AN EXCELLENT SALES FORCE, THEY ARE NOT INTERESTED IN ADDRESSING LOW-YIELDING RECALL ISSUES. MY LAST TWO CALLS WERE MET WITH, "OH, YOUR PART ISN'T IN YET. WE'LL GIVE YOU A CALL WHEN IT ARRIVES." THIS GOES AGAINST THE SPIRIT OF WHAT IS OUTLINED ON THE RECALL NOTICE, WHERE THE DEFECT IS TO BE REMEDIED IN A TIMELY FASHION.

OUR 2008 DODGE CARAVAN WAS PARKED IN A PARKING LOT FOR 10 MINUTES WHEN OUT OF NOWHERE THE LIGHTS START FLASHING, HORN BLARING, WIPERS RUNNING, AND COULD NOT GET IT TO STOP. THIS HAS HAPPENED INTERMITTENTLY FIVE OR SIX TIMES WITH VARYING DEGREES OF LENGTH (2 SECONDS TO 30 MINUTES). LAST TIME IT HAPPENED I DROVE IT TO THE CHRYSLER DEALER WITH THE WIPERS AND WIPER WASHERS SQUIRTING (I HAD SINCE REMOVED THE HORN FUSES). THEY CHARGED $136.00 TO LOOK AT THE CODES AND TELL US THEY CAN'T REPLICATE THE PROBLEM, SO SCREW YOU. WE'RE AFRAID TO DRIVE IT AS WHEN THE PROBLEM OCCURS IT WILL ONLY DRIVE IN FIRST GEAR. IT'S INTERESTING TO SEE THAT THERE ARE OTHERS WITH THE EXACT SAME SYMPTOMS AND THE FINGERS ARE POINTING TO THE TIPM. I'D LIKE TO SELL IT BUT CAN'T REALLY DO SO WITH A CLEAR CONSCIENCE. THIS SUCKS.

2008 DODGE CARAVAN. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO IGNITION SWITCH ISSUES. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHUT OFF, WHEN THE KEY WAS REMOVED.

HOWEVER, WHEN IT DIDN'T SHUT OFF, THE ENGINE BLEW UP DESTROYING THE ENGINE IN THE PROCESS. THE DEALER ADMITTED THE MISTAKE, OF INSTALLING THE WRONG PART, AND THEY STATED THEY DID NOT KNOW THE ENGINE WOULD NOT SHUT OFF, BUT THEY WERE CERTAIN THAT THE FAILURE, WAS NOT LINKED TO ENGINE BLOWING UP.

WE PULLED OUT AT NIGHT AND STARTED DRIVING WHEN SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT WARNING THE EXTERIOR HEADLIGHTS AND FOG LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING, THE INTERIOR WARNING LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING, THE WIND SHIELD WIPERS STARTED GOING ON AND OFF, THE WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID STARTED SPRAYING, THE LIGHTS ON THE GAUGES WERE FLASHING, AND THE IGNITION STARTED "DINGING" LIKE WHEN YOU TURN IT ON. GRANTED THIS WAS AT NIGHT SO WE LOST HEADLIGHTS FOR SEVERAL SECONDS AT A TIME UNTIL WE COULD GET STOPPED. I HAD MY 4 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER IN THE CAR AND MY WIFE. LUCKILY WE WEREN'T GOING VERY FAST AND WERE ABLE TO GET PULLED OVER WITHOUT BEING INVOLVED IN A WRECK. AFTER TURNING THE CAR ON AND OFF A COUPLE OF TIMES AND CHECKING UNDER THE HOOD THE PROBLEM CEASED. FAST FORWARD A FEW MONTHS. SIMILAR INCIDENT OCCURRED DURING THE DAYTIME. BASICALLY THE EXACT SAME ISSUE AS ABOVE. LUCKILY THIS WAS DURING THE DAY AND THE HEADLIGHTS AREN'T AS IMPORTANT. ONCE AGAIN AFTER TURNING THE VEHICLE ON AND OFF A COUPLE OF TIMES AND GETTING OUT OF THE VEHICLE TO CHECK UNDER THE HOOD IT CEASED. FAST FORWARD A FEW WEEKS. ISSUE OCCURRED ONCE AGAIN DURING THE DAY. AT THIS POINT WE REFUSED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AT NIGHT AS WE DEEMED IT UNSAFE AT NIGHT WITH THE POTENTIAL THAT WE COULD LOSE LIGHTS WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH AND HAVE ZERO VISIBILITY. WE WERE NEVER ABLE TO GET THE LIGHTS TO STOP GOING ON AND OFF AND THE ISSUE WITH THE VAN IS STILL OCCURRING. I'VE READ SIMILAR STORIES FROM OTHER DODGE OWNERS AND MOST HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO SOLVE THE ISSUE EVEN AFTER SPENDING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. THIS IS GOING TO SERIOUSLY HURT OR KILL SOMEONE AND A SEARCH REGARDING THE LIGHTS FLASHING ONLINE FOR DODGE CARAVANS AROUND THIS YEAR MAKES IT CLEAR THAT THERE IS A SERIOUS ISSUE REGARDING THE VAN. I ALSO CHECKED AND DODGE CLAIMS THE OTHER RECALLS HAVE ALREADY BEEN DONE ON THIS VAN. *TR

DROVE THE VEHICLE FOR APPROXIMATELY 40 MILES (TO AND FROM WORK) WITHOUT PROBLEM. WENT FOR A SHORT ERRAND, DRIVING 35 MPH, CAR JERKED, WIPERS WENT HALFWAY AND HORN STARTED BLARING, WIPERS AND FLUID WENT CRAZY AGAIN, AND CAR STALLED. NEIGHBOR WAS ABLE TO DISCONNECT THE HORN BUT CAR WOULDN'T SHUT OFF. NEIGHBORS CALLED POLICE (EMBARRASSING). CAR WOULDN'T SHUT OFF (OPPOSITE PROBLEM FROM WHEN THE CAR SHUT DOWN BEFORE REPAIR.) DROVE THE CAR HOME WHERE IT IS NOW WAITING FOR A TOW. BEYOND FRUSTRATED AND ANGRY BECAUSE MY 16 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING THE DURING THE SECOND INCIDENT. CALLED DODGE CORPORATE WHERE "[XXX]" WAS LESS THAN EMPATHETIC AND TOLD ME THAT THERE WERE A LOT OF MILES ON THE VEHICLE, AS IF THIS MAKES IT OKAY. NO APOLOGIES. CAR IS A LEMON. THREE BRAKE JOBS DURING THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE. THIS WILL BE MY 3RD TOW IN 6 MONTHS. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A SEVERE ACCIDENT HAD THE CAR SHUT DOWN ON A BUSY HIGHWAY.

8/24 - THE VAN WAS PARKED IN A PARKING LOT WITH MY HUSBAND & SON SITTING IN IT. ANOTHER DRIVER CAME TO CLAIM THEIR NEARBY DODGE CARAVAN & BEEPED OPEN HIS VAN, AT THAT POINT OUR WIPERS STARTED GOING FULL SPEED & THE FLUID SHOT UP. IT STOPPED FOR A MINUTE THEN STARTED GOING FULL STRENGTH AGAIN WITH THE HORN GOING NON-STOP, THE LIGHTS ALL STARTED FLASHING, & THE DOORS ALL LOCKED. THE KEY FOB WAS IN THE IGNITION BUT IN THE OFF POSITION. MY HUSBAND TRIED UNLOCKING THE DOORS WITH THE KEY FOB (PULLED OUT OF THE IGNITION), TRIED USING THE INDOOR UNLOCK BUTTON BUT ALL WAS UNSUCCESSFUL. WE WERE ABLE TO MANUALLY OPEN THE DOORS FROM THE INSIDE. ALL OF THIS KEPT GOING FOR ABOUT 5 MINS UNTIL I CLIMBED IN THE BACK TO OPEN THE SIDE DOORS TO AIR OUT THE CAR & GET MY 2 YEAR OLD OUT. WHEN I MANUALLY UNLOCKED THE DRIVER SIDE BACK DOOR EVERYTHING STOPPED. WE WERE ABLE TO DRIVE HOME WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT THAT DAY. 8/25 - WE WERE DRIVING BACK TO CHICAGO WHEN THE WIPERS DID THE SAME THING BUT NOTHING ELSE. 8/26 - I WAS DRIVING TO WORK WHEN ALL THE DOORS UNLOCKED & ALL THE WARNINGS ON THE CONTROL PANEL LIT UP. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND WHEN I STARTED DRIVING AGAIN THE RPM STARTED GOING CRAZY LIKE IT COULDN'T SHIFT GEAR.

ON A HIGHWAY RAMP ENTERING THE HIGHWAY THE HORN ON MY VAN STARTED TO BLOW ON & OFF, AT THE SAME TIME THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WERE WIPING & THE SPRAY WAS SPEWING AT ME AT HIGH SPEED. THE LIGHTS BLINKED ON AND OFF & THE DOOR LOCKS WERE GOING UP & DOWN. THE RADIO WAS BLASTING AS WELL. I CAME TO A STOP BEFORE ENTERING THE HIGHWAY TO TRY & FIGURE THINGS OUT BUT NOTHING WORKED. FOR 5-8 MINUTES I SAT THERE IN FEAR IT WOULD CATCH ON FIRE. I PUT IN PARK, TURNED IT OFF & TOOK THE KEYS OUT. IT CONTINUED TO DO ALL THE ACTIVITY WITH THE KEYS IN MY HAND! WHEN IT STOPPED & I TRIED TO STARTING IT. IT STARTED & RAN OK TILL IT HAPPENED NOT MORE THAN 15 MINUTES LATTER ON MY WAY TO THE DEALER. THIS TIME IT LURCHED FORWARD AT A FASTER SPEED WITH EVERYTHING WIPING, BLOWING, SPEWING & BLINKING WHICH CAUSED ME TO DROP IT INTO NEUTRAL & BRAKE TO A STOP IN THE MEDIAN. THIS TIME WHEN IT BECAME QUITE IT WOULDN'T START AGAIN & WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER. THEY SAW THE CODES IT LEFT BUT COULDN'T DETERMINE THE CAUSE. THEY SAID THEY COULD KEEP IT THRU THE WEEKEND & TRY AGAIN ON MONDAY OR I COULD TAKE IT & BRING IT BACK WHEN IT DID IT AGAIN. THIS IS THE CAR I DRIVE MY FAMILY IN ALL THE TIME. MYSELF & 4 YOUNG GIRLS PLUS FRIENDS. ALTHOUGH I AM THANKFUL TO HAVE ONLY HAD TO PAY FOR TOWING I AM VERY UPSET THAT THEY COULDN'T FIND THE CAUSE. I AM ESSENTIALLY DRIVING A TICKING TIME BOMB. THIS COULD HAPPEN AGAIN AT ANY TIME, ANYWHERE & WITH A CAR FULL OF KIDS! I HAVE SAID FROM DAY 1 THAT THE VAN HAD ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS & NO ONE TOOK ME SERIOUS. THE ONLY THING THE DEALER FOUND THAT RAISED A RED FLAG WAS THAT THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS COME ON WHEN YOU USE THE TURN SIGNAL - THIS HAS BEEN A CHIEF COMPLAINT ALL ALONG. MY FAMILY HAS HAD DODGES FOR A LONG TIME, HAVE BEEN LOYAL CUSTOMERS & EMPLOYEES. WE EXPECT BETTER FROM A COMPANY WE'VE GROWN TO DEPEND ON & REFER OTHERS TO FOR THEIR NEXT VEHICLE. *TR

BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE. HAD TO HAVE THE BRAKES REBUILT. BRAKE PROBLEM INDICATOR LIGHT KEPT COMING ON. TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR CHECK AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS JUST A PROBLEM WITH THE COMPUTER. BRAKES GAVE OUT ONE MONTH AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT (CERTIFIED) SHOP AND WAS TOLD THE BRAKE SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE COMPLETELY REBUILT AND THAT THE BRAKE WARNING SYSTEM APPEARED TO HAVE BEEN COMPROMISED, RENDERING IT USELESS. ALSO EXPERIENCED PROBLEM WITH THE TIRE INFLATION INDICATOR (DEALERSHIP FIXED THIS PROBLEM AND STATED IT WAS A COMPUTER MALFUNCTION) AND SHORTS IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM THAT CAUSED PROBLEMS WITH THE HORN TURN SIGNALS, LIGHTS, AND ALARM SYSTEM. DEALERSHIP DID A REPAIR ON THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 DODGE CARAVAN. ON FIVE SEPARATE OCCASIONS, THE EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR LIGHTS WOULD NOT WORK, THE DOORS WOULD LOCK AND UNLOCK AUTOMATICALLY, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS SPRAYED WIPER FLUID, AND THE HORN SOUNDED ON ITS OWN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER THREE TIMES AND THE ECM WAS REPLACED DURING THE MOST RECENT VISIT. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 9,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 700. UPDATED 09/15/08 *BF THE DEALER THE CONSUMER THE WINDSHIELD WIPER NOT WORKING WAS DUE TO NO OUTPUT SIGNAL FROM THE MULTI-FUNCTION SWITCH. WHEN THE CONSUMER TURNED ON THE HIGH BEAMS, THE FRONT WINDSHIELD WIPERS CAME ON INSTEAD AND WOULD NOT TURN OFF. THE BLINKERS DID NOT WORK, THE AC AND RADIO STOPPED WORKING, BUT AFTER PARKING AND RESTARING THE VEHICLE, THEY WORKED AGAIN. WHEN THE CONSUMER TURNED ON THE VEHICLE, EVERYTHING WENT HAYWIRE; THE THE FRONT AND REAR WIPERS CAME ON, SPRAYING WINDSHIELD WIPER FLUID, ALL THE LIGHTS WERE FLASHING, THE LOCKS WERE LOCKING AND UNLOCKING AND THE HORN STARTING BEEPING. ON ANOTHER OCCASSION, ALL THE LIGHTS WENT OUT, LEAVING THE CONSUMER WITH NO HEADLIGHTS, TAILLIGHTS, BLINKERS ETC. THE DEALER REPLACED A MODULE IN LOCATED IN THE FUSE BOX. THE CONSUMER STATED IT HAS BEEN 4 DAYS SINCE THE REPLACEMENT, AND SO FAR THERE HAVE BEEN NO PROBLEMS. UPDATED 09/24/08. *JB
