2010 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN Engine Problems

Without warning the car completely shuts off. This is very dangerous because it happened on the freeway (luckily the cars slowed down behind me). It is intermittent and two different mechanics have not been able to detect the problem. Was there a recall on this issue? What can be done to make this vehicle safer to operate. This has been going on for about 2 years.

The contact owns a 2010 Dodge Grand Caravan. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle was losing motive power intermittently. The contact stated shifted to park(P) and turning off and restarted the vehicle. The contact stated that several unknown warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed that the fuel lines, spark plugs, and throttle body needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was then taken to a local dealer, where it was diagnosed that the Wireless Ignition Node (WIN) module needed to be replaced. The contact was made aware of NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V373000 (Electrical System, Air Bags); however, the VIN was not included in the recall. The vehicle remained at the dealer awaiting the repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown. The VIN was unavailable. The consumer stated that they paid out of pocket for repairs according to the recall.

The contact owns a 2010 Dodge Grand Caravan. The contact stated that after starting the vehicle, the vehicle almost stalled. The contact stated that the failure was intermittent but had become a recurring failure. The contact stated that several attempts were needed to start the vehicle. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact had taken not the vehicle to a local dealer. The vehicle had not been diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 150,000.

Interior panel lights will dim and flicker, headlights dim, radio will lose power, cabin fans for air conditioning will slow then the engine dies. This can happen while idling or driving at highway speeds without warning. When the engine dies all power steering is lost and braking and control is extremely difficult. After stopping the gear shift will not move into park and the key will not move to the off position for several minutes. Diagnosis narrowed this down to the TIPM. It was replaced and the issue stopped for 6 months then reoccurred. TIPM replacement again fixed the issue. Obviously the TIPM's have a defect and has been widely reported. Major issue is that only remanufactured TIPMS are available from the same defective build. Dealer charges over $1000 for the part and more to install it. There should be a class action lawsuit on this obvious dangerous defect that has not been addressed by Dodge.

When attempting to start the vehicle, ignition key inadvertently moves into the "Off" position, turning the engine off suddenly. If this safety issue occured while driving, it would depower various key systems including the airbags, power steering, and power braking. In the event of a crash following an accidental rotation of the key, the airbags would fail to deploy causing serious injury or death. The dealership is aware of this problem now and confirms this is a significant safety issue, but that their hands are tied unless Crystler helps. L25 is the known safety recall for the 2010 Dodge Grand Caravans- build dates 3months less than ours- July 2010 verses Oct. 2010. With our Dodge experiencing the same issue and safety concerns as the recalled ones, we then called Crystler at (800) 853-1403 to report the issue and advocate for the repair and/or extension of the recall. An employee named Myah said "there's nothing we can do b/c recall is VIN specific and doesn't show yours as being recalled for this issue". I asked to speak with a supervisor to further discuss how to get the recall extended to our VIN, as the same safety issue is occuring, and the rep was very dismissive and told me "they were sorry they could not help and "no one is available at this time". I told her I didn't mind waiting on hold so the issue could be properly reported and addressed with a supervisor. She put me on hold again and then said "a supervisor can call you when they are available", but then she did not even ask for my phone number. I do not trust that she was acting in our best interest and feel she was being negligant. No one has called back. Please help. We are writing to #1) inform you of this safety issue #2) inform you of the known recall to address this safety issue- does not currently extend to our manufacture month #3) report Crystlers negligence in responding to this safety issue #4) to respectfully request a safety investigation should our VIN not be added to this

The engine shut off while driving. This has happened with my wife and myself over 20 times. I can shift it into neutral and restart the car. Sometimes it takes 2-3 times to start the car (again). One time I was going down a hill on a curve about 30mph and it shut down. I could barely turn the steering wheel manually to prevent me crossing the double yellow lines into another car. This could be very dangerous! I have not gotten around to taking it to a dealer 60 miles away. My car has not been inspected by anyone yet. There were no warning lights or messages or any other symptoms of the problem prior to the failures.

Engine has shut off while driving, van 2010 dodge purchased used from dealership @ 98,000 miles less then a yr ago. While driving dinging noise can be heard all gages go crazy and all lights come on from dashboard. This has occurred many times, my biggest fear is causing an accident while my children are with me. Van was taken in for service at local dealership, after a week I was told that there was no issue with the van. The frustrating part is this problem is not constant, and I can go weeks without any problems. Two days after pick from dealership problems started up again. Maybe a second trip to the dealership will give me some answers. I shouldn't be afraid to drive my van, but every time I get behind the wheel that is what if feel. This single mom can't afford to replace the van

The engine on my 2010 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN SXT turned off while driving down the road. This has happened over 5 times in the past 2 weeks. In these several incidents, the vehicle was warmed up and was travelling anywhere between 20 mph and 45 mph when the engine just completely shut off, which forced me to coast to a stop, sometimes in traffic. The engine could then be restarted with no issues. This vehicle has been serviced for Recall 14V-373 (regarding a faulty electronic ignition switch that could cause the vehicle to shut off without warning), but the problem described in Recall 14V-373 seems to be recurring.

The contact owns a 2010 Dodge Grand Caravan. The contact stated while driving 30 mph, the vehicle loss power steering functionality and ceased. The contact stated there was no warning light illuminated. The contact restarted the vehicle and continued driving to her destination. The failure recurred several times. The contact took the vehicle to the local dealer however, the mechanic was unable to duplicate the failure. The contact took the vehicle to another local dealer Fred Martin Superstore (3195 Barber Rd, Barberton, OH 44203, (330) 753-4444) and the mechanic was unable to duplicate the failure. The contact stated that the failure persisted. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 107,000.

AS MONTHS WENT ON THE PROBLEM BECAME WORSE. ALL THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS BEGAN TURNING ON AND OFF HEADLIGHTS WOULD DIMMER, CLOCK AND RADIO WOULD SHUT OFF. TOOK TO A FEW MECHANICS AND NONE COULD DETERMINE THE PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM GOT WORSE BATTERY LIGHT BEGAN STAYING LIT. WE THEN REPLACED THE BATTERY AND THE BATTERY CABLES. THE PROBLEMS PERSISTED, WE TOOK TO ANOTHER MECHANIC WHO STATED THE ALTERNATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. WE REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR AND THE VEHICLE WAS FINE FOR THREE WEEKS, THEN THE PROBLEM STARTED AGAIN ALL THE LIGHTS LIT UP, THE AIR WENT IN AND OUT, THE RADIO SHUT OFF AND OUT OF NOWHERE THE CAR SHUT OFF WHILE ABOUT TO TURN AT AN INTERSECTION WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE VAN. WE HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO MANY DIFFERENT MECHANICS EVEN THE DEALERSHIP AND NONE OF THEM CAN DETERMINE WHAT IS CAUSING THIS ISSUE. THROUGH THE INTERNET I SEE THAT WE ARE NOT ALONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO BESIDES ATTEMPT TO GET RID OF THE VEHICLE. THIS IS THE VEHICLE I BOUGHT TO TRANSPORT MY CHILDREN; I'VE BEEN PAYING FOR RENTAL CARS BECAUSE I'M SCARED TO DRIVE IT.

I RECEIVED A LETTER CONCERNING RECALL R03/NHTSA 14V-373 IN JUNE OF 2015. ON FRIDAY, JULY 31, WE FOUND THAT THE VAN WOULD NOT START, BUT WHEN THE KEY WAS TURNED A FEW TIMES, IT WOULD. THINKING THAT THIS COULD POSSIBLY BE RELATED IN SOME WAY TO THE RECALL, I CAREFULLY READ THE DOCUMENT THAT STATED THIS COULD CAUSE UNINTENDED ENGINE SHUT OFF AND INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH. THE DOCUMENT SAID NOTHING ABOUT PROBLEMS INITIALLY STARTING THE VAN. ON TUESDAY, AUGUST 4, AS THE VAN WOULD ONLY INTERMITTENTLY START, I BROUGHT THE VAN TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP. THE LOCAL REPAIR SHOP DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A DEFECTIVE STARTER. AFTER THEY INSTALLED THE STARTER, THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY HAD THEN DONE SOME RESEARCH AND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL OUT FOR THIS PROBLEM. THEY STILL CHARGED ME $390.00. I DROPPED OFF THE VAN THIS MORNING WITH THREE CHRYSLER KEY FOBS, OTHERWISE KNOWN AS A FREQUENCY OPERATED BUTTON IGNITION KEY OR FOBIK, AND AN ADDITIONAL AFTERMARKET KEY FOB MADE BY ILCO, WHICH PERFORMS THE SAME FUNCTIONS AS THE OEM KEY FOBS DO. THE PEOPLE AT LARCHMONT CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM STATED THAT THIS RECALL ONLY WOULD REPLACE OEM CHRYSLER KEY FOBS. 1)WHY DOES IT TAKE THREE MONTHS TO SET UP A DATE FOR A SAFETY RECALL? 2)WHY DID THE NOTICE NOT MENTION ANYTHING ABOUT IGNITION PROBLEMS BUT ONLY UNINTENDED ENGINE SHUTOFF? THE WAY THIS NOTICE IS WRITTEN, MOST PEOPLE WOULD INFER THAT THE ENGINE WOULD ALREADY BE ON AND ONE WOULD BE DRIVING TO EXPERIENCE THIS DIFFICULTY. 3)WHY, WHEN A LOCAL VAN WAS BROUGHT TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP, DIDNT THIS DIAGNOSTIC CODE IMMEDIATELY MENTION THE RECALL AND STATE THAT THE RECALL PART IS THE PROBLEM, NOT THE $390 STARTER? 4)WHY, IF A PERSON HAS GONE THROUGH THE RIDICULOUS EXPENSE AND BOTHER OF GETTING FOUR KEY FOBS WHICH ALL FUNCTION, AND THAT IT IS CHRYSLERS FAULT ENTIRELY FOR THE PROBLEM, CANT AN ADDITIONAL KEY FOB BE PROVIDED?

MY WIFE STARTED OUR VAN AND IT DIDN'T START. SHE GOT IT STARTED AND WENT A FEW MILES DOWN THE ROAD. AFTER STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN SHE TOOK OFF AND WAS GOING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE ABRUPTLY STALLED. SHE LOST POWER STEERING AND WAS ABLE TO GET IT STOPPED BEFORE GOING INTO THE DITCH. HAD SHE BEEN TRAVELING FASTER SHE PROBABLY WOULD HAVE WRECKED. SHE HAD MY TWO YEAR OLD WITH HER AND IS CURRENTLY 13 WEEKS PREGNANT. ....UPDATED 11/02/15*BF UPDATED 1/4/2016*JS UPDATED 11/22/2017*CN

WHILE DRIVING MY 2010 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN, ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS, I HAVE LOST ALL POWER LEADING TO THE INABILITY TO STEER. LAST EVENT, I WAS IN A ROUND ABOUT AND, SWITCHING INTO NEUTRAL, WAS BARELY ABLE TO PREVENT A CRASH. I HAVE NOTHING ATTACHED TO MY KEY FOB. THIS IS THE KNOWN IGNITION PROBLEM AND I FIND IT UNACCEPTABLE THAT CHRYSLER THINKS IT IS OK TO WAIT UNTIL AUGUST TO FIX THIS. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. I DO NOT HAVE THE MEANS TO GET A NEW VEHICLE AND WITH 2 YOUNG CHILDREN, THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. PLEASE FORCE THEM TO MOVE FASTER TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM!!

IN THE FIRST DRIVE OF THE DAY (NO MATTER WHAT TIME OF THE DAY) WITHIN 4 BLOCKS OF MY HOME, THE VEHICLE STALLS WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS SO FAR HAPPENED 8 TIMES OVER THE LAST 9 MONTHS. THIS INCIDENT HAS OCCURRED WITH 3 DIFFERENT DRIVERS AND IN THE SAME EXACT LOCATION 7 OUT OF THE 8 TIMES. VEHICLE IS ALWAYS COASTING (NOT ACCELERATING) AROUND 20 MILES PER HOUR. WHEN THIS INCIDENT OCCURS, THE ENGINE TURNS OFF, WHICH DISABLES THE STEERING, BRAKES, AND ACCELERATION. THIS LEAVES THE DRIVER AND ITS PASSENGERS IN SERIOUS, POTENTIALLY LETHAL, DANGER. WE HAVE TAKEN THIS VEHICLE MULTIPLE TIMES TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND THEY CLAIM THAT THIS VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THEY STATE THAT THERE ARE NO ERROR CODES. *TR

Mileage: 51,500

THE VEHICLE STALLS WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 30 AND 35 MPH. THERE IS NO WARNING AND IT JUST QUITS. WHEN IT DOES YOU LOSE ALL POWER STEERING AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS. THERE IS NO RHYME OR REASON AS TO WHEN THIS HAPPENS - IT CAN BE SHORTLY AFTER STARTING THE MORNING DRIVE OR AFTER YOU HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR 20 MINUTES. IT ALSO HAPPENS SPORADICALLY SO IT IS VERY HARD TO DETERMINE IF AND WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN. WE HAVE HAD THE CAR CHECKED MANY TIMES BY THE DEALER WHERE WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND ANYTHING. IT HAS CONTINUED TO STALL SPORADICALLY OVER THE PAST 5-6 MONTHS. WE NOW SEE THAT THERE IS A RECALL FOR 2010 DODGE CARAVANS BASED ON THIS FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH, HOWEVER THE DEALER INFORMS US THAT OUR CAR IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL AND THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. *TR

THE VEHICLE CUTS OFF AT NORMAL OPERATING SPEED ON BUMPY SURFACES OR AFTER GOING OVER BUMPS IN THE ROAD. VEHICLE LOST POWER STEERING, BRAKING, AND THE ENGINE CUTS OFF.

WHILE DRIVING THE 2010 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN IT SUDDENLY STALLS. THERE DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE A REASON BEHIND IT, AT LEAST THE DEALER IS UNABLE TO PINPOINT IT. IT HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES, WITH THE MOST RECENT BEING JUST AFTER HAVING IT INTO THE DEALER WHERE THEY REPLACED THE BATTERY AND THE BATTERY CABLE AND DID AN OIL CHANGE, WITH A TOTAL COST OF $325. HOWEVER, THEY ALSO SAID IT MAY BE THE MODULE THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF OVER $600.00. HOWEVER, THEY APPARENTLY DO NOT KNOW OR JUST TRYING TO RUN UP THE COST OF REPAIRING THE VEHICLE. I SEE A LOT OF OTHERS WHO ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT STALLING PROBLEMS WITH NO SATISFACTION. WHAT IS THE PROBLEM??? THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM AS STALLING CAN OCCUR ANYWHERE AND INVOLVE SERIOUS ACCIDENTS. *TR

OUR 2010 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN IS OVER CONSUMING OIL. WE HAVE A NORMAL OIL CHANGE DONE AND BEFORE WE GET TO THE 3000 MILES WHEN THE NEXT ONE IS TO BE DONE THE VAN IS DRY/OUT OF OIL! THE LIGHT COMES ON THE DASH INDICATING THERE IS NO OIL AND THE OIL LEVEL IN THE VAN DOES NOT EVEN REACH THE DIP STICK, IT IS COMPLETELY DRY. WE TOOK THE VAN IN APRIL 2014 TO ZEIGLER IN DOWNERS GROVE, IL AND THEY HAD US COME BACK EVERY 1000 MILES TO CHECK AGAIN, EACH TIME IT WAS AT LEAST 1.5 OR SO QUARTS LOW. THEY WOULD TOP IT OFF AND SAY COME BACK IN 1000 MILES. THAT IS NOT NORMAL A VEHICLE SHOULD NOT KEEP NEEDING OIL TO BE ADDED AND IF NO OIL IS ADDED IT IS EMPTY BEFORE YOU HAVE DRIVEN 3000 MILES. SINCE THE DEALER WAS NO HELP SAYING IT IS NORMAL, WHICH THIS IS NOT, I HAVE NEVER HAD TO ADD OIL TO ANY OF MY VEHICLES BETWEEN OIL CHANGES, TODAY WE CALLED CHRYSLER TO HANDLE THE PROBLEM...ALL CHRYSLER WOULD DO WAS CALL THE DEALER WHO TOLD THEM THIS IS NORMAL AND SAID THAT THEY HAVE TO SIDE WITH THE DEALER AND NOT FIX THE PROBLEM...WE PAID FOR AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THIS VAN AND IT NEEDS TO BE FIXED ASAP BEFORE THE WARRANTY IS UP!!!! *TR

I WAS PULLING OUT OF A SIDE STREET ONTO A MAIN ROAD WHEN THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME WITHIN THE PAST MONTH THAT THIS HAPPENED. ABOUT A WEEK AFTER I HAD THE SECOND IGNITION FAILURE I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE (L25) FROM CHRYSLER TELLING ME THAT THEY HAD A PROBLEM WITH THEIR FREQUENCY OPERATED BUTTON IGNITION KEY (FOBIK) THAT CAUSES THE ENGINE TO SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING. WHEN I CALLED THE CHRYSLER GROUP RECALL ASSISTANCE CENTER (1-800-853-1403) THEY TOLD ME THAT THE PARTS TO FIX THE PROBLEM WERE NOT AVAILABLE AND, EVEN THOUGH THE VEHICLE HAD SHUT DOWN TWICE, THEY DIDN'T CARE AND WOULDN'T PROVIDE A LOANER/RENTAL VEHICLE UNTIL THE REPAIR WAS MADE. THIS IS A SIMILAR SITUATION THAT GM DEALT WITH RECENTLY AND DID PROVIDE TEMPORARY REPLACEMENT VEHICLES. *TR

IT WAS DISCOVERED BY THE MECHANIC AT BELL TIRE THAT THE STEEL INTERCOOLER LINES THAT RUN TO THE INTERIOR HEATER HAD RUPTURED.

WEATHER ALSO DOES NOT SEEM TO MATTER AS THE EVENTS HAPPENED IN WINTER AND SUMMER. WE HAVE REPORTED THIS PROBLEM TO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP. THEY KEPT OUR VAN FOR A WEEK ATTEMPTING TO HAVE THE PROBLEM OCCUR FOR THEM WITHOUT SUCCESS. WE ARE FEARFUL EVERY TIME WE DRIVE THIS VAN BECAUSE WHEN THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF WE LOSE POWER TO THE STEERING AND BRAKES. THIS IS DANGEROUS! CHRYSLER DOES NOT SEEM TO HAVE A SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM.

WE BOUGHT OUR 2010 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN NEW IN APRIL OF 2010. SHORTLY AFTER WE BOUGHT IT, I DROVE OVER A SPEED BUMP AND THE VAN ENGINE SHUT OFF. THIS TURNED OFF THE RADIO, POWER STEERING...EVERYTHING ELECTRICAL. I WROTE IT OFF TO GOING OVER A SPEED BUMP TOO QUICKLY. A FEW WEEKS LATER, THE VAN SHUT DOWN AS I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 40 MPH DOWN THE ROAD. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID MY KEY CHAIN WAS TOO HEAVY. THIS MADE SENSE, SO I REMOVED KEYS. THE PROBLEM STILL CONTINUED. TO DATE, THE VAN HAS SHUT DOWN OVER 30 TIMES AND HAS BEEN INVOLVED IN ONE ACCIDENT DUE TO THIS ISSUE. IT HAS SHUT DOWN WHILE TURNING LEFT INTO TRAFFIC, DRIVING 60 MPH DOWN THE EXPRESSWAY IN THE RAIN, DRIVING SLOWLY IN A SUBDIVISION. THERE IS NO RHYME OR REASON AS TO WHEN OR WHY IT SHUTS DOWN. THIS IS AN UNPREDICTABLE PROBLEM. COUNTLESS SENSORS HAVE BEEN REPLACED. CHRYSLER HAS SENT THE VAN TO THREE DIFFERENT DEALERS TO FIX THE PROBLEM. WHEN THE VAN SHUTS DOWN, THE ENGINE TURNS OFF, THE RADIO, HEAT/AC, POWER STEERING...EVERYTHING SHUTS OFF. IF I PUT THE VAN IN NEUTRAL AND TURN THE KEY, THE VAN WILL TYPICALLY TURN BACK ON. ON THREE OCCASIONS THE VAN DID NOT TURN BACK ON SO I HAD TO MANIPULATE THE VAN OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD (WHICH IS VERY DIFFICULT WITHOUT POWER STEERING), PUT IT IN PARK, THEN RESTART IT. DODGE IS WELL AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM, BUT THEY REFUSE TO TAKE THE VAN BACK. THEY HAVE ATTEMPTED TO FIX THE PROBLEM OVER A DOZEN TIMES, WITH NO LUCK. THEY TOLD ME THAT IF I TRADE THE VAN IN, THEY WILL "FIX IT" AND RESELL IT. HOWEVER THEY CAN NOT FIX IT FOR ME, SO HOW WILL THEY FIX IT FOR SOMEONE ELSE? I AM SCARED THAT MY SON WHO IS 15 NOW LEARNING TO DRIVE AND HE IS LEARNING ON THIS VAN. PLEASE TAKE THESE VANS OFF THE ROAD!!! *TR

ORIGINAL OWNER OF THE VEHICLE, RECALL FOR FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH WAS APPLIED IN 2011. THIS IS ACTUALLY A REPORT OF 3 INCIDENTS, (#3 THE MOST DANGEROUS) THE ENGINE OF THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. IT IS INSTANT AND SILENT, WITH NO PRE-WARNING LIKE ONE WOULD NORMALLY EXPERIENCE IN A CLASSIC ENGINE STALL. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN DIRECTLY TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY SAID THAT THEY COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM AND THAT THERE WERE NO CODES. THEY SUGGESTED THAT I KEEP DRIVING IT TO SEE IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN! THEY ALSO SUGGESTED (AN EDUCATED GUESS) THAT I CHANGE THE EGR VALVE. HERE ARE DESCRIPTIONS OF THE 3 EVENTS - THE LAST ONE WAS THE MOST DANGEROUS AND SCARY: .#1 DEC 31, 2013. OUTDOOR TEMP BELOW 32 DEGREES. CAR SHUT OFF WHILE PULLING OUT FROM A STOP SIGN, ABOUT 2-3 BLOCKS AFTER BEING STARTED. CAR WAS NOT ROUGH IDLING, OR SHOWING ANY OTHER SIGNS OF A PROBLEM. IT JUST SEEMED LIKE SOMEONE REACHED OVER AND TURNED THE KEY TO "ACC" BECAUSE THE BLOWERS AND RADIO WERE STILL ON, BUT THE ENGINE, POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES WERE GONE. THE CAR STARTED RIGHT BACK UP. #2 MARCH 1, 2014. OUTDOOR TEMP ABOUT 32 DEGREES, SIMILAR SITUATION, PULLING OUT AFTER A LIGHT TURNED GREEN, TURNING RIGHT AND THE CAR JUST SHUT OFF AGAIN. AGAIN I WOULD CALL IT A COLD ENGINE, AS THIS HAPPENED WITHIN 5 MINUTES OF STARTING THE CAR. ALSO NO SIGN OF A PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE. IT STARTED RIGHT BACK UP. #3 MAY 23, 2014. OUTDOOR TEMP ABOUT 50 DEGREES. HAD DRIVEN ABOUT 1 MILE, (ENGINE STILL COLD), AND WAS AT THE SPEED LIMIT OF 35-40MPH AND STARTING TO TURN WITH THE CURVE IN THE ROAD (A VERY MODEST CURVE)WHEN THE CAR JUST SHUT OFF AND STARTED WANTING TO GO STRAIGHT (NO POWER STEERING) VEERING TOWARDS THE ONCOMING LANE. ONCE AGAIN, THE ENGINE STARTED RIGHT UP AND WAS ACTING NORMAL BEFORE AND AFTER THE STALL/SHUT DOWN. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND I NOTICED THAT MY STEERING WAS TIGHT. WHEN I LOOKED DOWN, MY RPM'S WERE ON 0, MY CAR HAD SHUT OFF AND THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, PUT CAR IN PARK AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN A FEW WEEKS AFTER THAT, GOING THE SAME SPEED. BRAKES & STEERING GAVE OUT, WAS ABLE TO COAST TO SIDE OF ROAD, PUT CAR IN PARK AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP. ON MARCH 28TH I WAS DRIVING INTO WORK, GOING APPROX. 45-50 MPH, NOTICED THAT MY STEERING GOT TIGHT, CAR HAD SHUT OFF AGAIN. THANKFULLY I WAS IN THE OUTSIDE LANE SO I COULD PULL OVER. CAR STARTED RIGHT UP. IT HAPPENED A 4TH TIME ON APRIL 2, 2014. THIS TIME I FELT THE STEERING WHEEL GETTING TIGHT, I PUT CAR IN NEUTRAL AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP. EVERY TIME THIS HAPPENS MY CAR SHUTS OFF FIRST AND THEN THERE IS A 1-2 SECOND DELAY BEFORE THE TRACTION CONTROL STEERING LIGHT COMES ON. MY CAR IS AT THE DEALERSHIP RIGHT NOW, WAITING TO HEAR. I CHECKED ON THE IGNITION RECALL FOR THE 2010 GRAND CARAVANS AND I WAS TOLD THAT MY VIN# DOES NOT FALL INTO THE RECALL DATES. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS FOR MYSELF, MY FAMILY AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR!! *TR

THE IGNITION MOVED ITSELF FROM START TO ACCESSORY, SHUTTING OF THE ENGINE, DISABLING THE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. LUCKILY I WAS ALREADY COMING TO A STOP OTHERWISE MY LACK OF POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES WOULD HAVE CAUSED ME TO CRASH BY THE TIME I REALIZED WHAT HAD HAPPENED. *TR

OUR 2010 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN MINIVAN, HAS BEEN FOR THE PAST 6 MONTHS BEEN STALLING SPORADICALLY. TODAY, IT CAME TO A HEAD. WE WERE 45 MINUTES NORTH OF OUR HOUSE AND HEADING HOME. 10 MINUTES OF DRIVING TO GET TO THE FREEWAY AND 20 MINUTES ON THE FREEWAY, IN THE CENTER LANE, 3 LANES WIDE, POURING OUTSIDE, IT IS 8:50PM, AND LIGHTENING OUT AS WELL. OUR MINIVAN JUST DIED ON THE FREEWAY, WITH A FAIR AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC. WE WERE ABLE TO PULL OVER QUICKLY AS THE MINIVAN SHOOK TO A HALT, WE WERE GOING 70 MILES PER HOUR. YESTERDAY, WHEN I TRIED STARTING IT DIED RIGHT AWAY, TWICE. THE DEALERSHIP KNOWS ABOUT THIS AS THEY SEE THE MINIVAN FOR THIS ABOUT EVERY MONTH, AND THEY ALWAYS SAY NOTHING COMES UP ON THE COMPUTER, NOTHING IS WRONG WITH IT. I HAVE COMPLAINED TO CHRYSLER ABOUT THIS. THEY SAY IT IS BECAUSE IT HAPPENS RIGHT AFTER WE HAVE FILLED UP WITH GAS. WELL, WE DIDN'T JUST FILL UP WITH GAS TODAY, AND HAVE ONLY A HALF TANK OF GAS, WHEN THIS HAPPENED. OUT OF THE COUNTLESS TIMES THIS HAS DIED ON US, IT HAS ONLY DIED 2 TIMES AFTER FILLING UP. THERE IS NO RHYME OR REASON WHEN THIS HAPPENS, CAN BE MORNING OR AFTERNOON, WE RARELY DRIVE IN THE EVENING. COLD OR HOT DAYS. CHRYSLER HAS SAID THAT THIS ISSUE IS RELATED TO THE NEW KEY, AND RECALLED IT, WELL WE HAVE HAD THAT CHANGED AT LEAST 3 TIMES ALREADY. *TR
