MY PARENTS BOUGHT A 2010 DODGE CARAVAN NEW, AND WE WERE ON A FAMILY ROAD TRIP IN CALIFORNIA THIS MONTH. MILEAGE WAS ONLY AT 3500 (M/L) WHEN WE LEFT WASHINGTON. IT HAD JUST BEEN SERVICED AT THE DEALERSHIP BEFORE WE LEFT. USED CRUISE CONTROL ON I-5 SOUTH THROUGH WASHINGTON, OREGON, AND CALIFORNIA. THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS FUSSY AND INCONSISTENT, BUT FUNCTIONAL MORE OR LESS. AFTER ARRIVING AT FAMILY MEMBER'S HOUSE IN CA., NEVER USED CRUISE CONTROL WHILE DRIVING BECAUSE OF WINDY ROADS. ON TUESDAY, JUNE 17TH, 2014 (DURING OUR TRIP) , I WAS HEADING EAST ON HWY. 12, WEST OF LODI, CA. THERE WAS A LONG MERGE LANE, AND I WAS ACCELERATING IN TO TRAFFIC. I WAS NOT USING CRUISE CONTROL. AS I PULLED ON TO THE HIGHWAY, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WENT OUT FROM UNDER MY FOOT AND STUCK TO THE FLOOR. I PUT BOTH FEET ON THE BRAKE, AND THE ENGINE WAS ROARING, RED-LINED. I REMEMBERED HEARING ON THE NEWS TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL, WHICH I DID. THE BRAKES WORKED, AND I PULLED OVER ON THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY. THE MOTOR WAS STILL REVVING, SO I THEN TURNED OFF THE ENGINE. AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES OF CONVERSATION WITH FAMILY (AND PRAYERS OF THANKS!!!), WE CONTINUED ON OUR WAY. ON THURSDAY, JUNE 19TH, I TOOK THE VAN TO A DODGE DEALER IN FOLSOM, CA. TO HAVE THE VEHICLE DIAGNOSED. MILEAGE WAS AT 4308 IN FOLSOM, SO VEHICLE WAS BASICALLY NEW, BUT OFF WARRANTY. THE ONLY THING THEY FOUND WAS A TRANSMISSION CODE FOR OVERHEATING 6 STARTS AGO. THEY SAID EVERYTHING CHECKED OUT FINE. I HAVE CHECKED A FEW WEBSITES, AND WE ARE NOT THE FIRST PEOPLE TO EXPERIENCE THIS ACCELERATOR PROBLEM. I AM SO THANKFUL THAT MY 80 YEAR OLD MOM WAS NOT DRIVING THE VEHICLE WHEN THIS HAPPENED, OR THERE COULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC RESULTS. I REALLY HOPE CHRYSLER TAKES THIS SERIOUSLY AND FINDS A SOLUTION FOR THIS, BEFORE PEOPLE DIE FROM THIS KIND OF INCIDENT.SCARY. *TR

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

UPDATED 12/09/14*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WOULD ONLY START AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS OR PUTTING THE GEAR IN NEUTRAL. UPDATED 6/1/2015 *JS

IT WON'T ALWAYS START. IT WILL CLICK TO TRY TO BUT WON'T. DON'T MATTER IF IT'S HOT OR COLD. IGNATIION SWITCH BEEN CHANGED 3 TIMES. STARTER BEEN CHANGED. BATTERY BEEN CHANGED. VEHICLE IS ALWAYS AT STAND STILL. BEEN DOING THIS SINCE I PURCHASED VEHICLE IN 2014 AND THE DEAL WON'T DO NOTHING ABOUT IT.

CAR WAS IN THE SHOP FOR BRAKE WORK. MECHANIC INFORMED ME OF CRACKS, SPLITTING AND CORROSION OF THE COLLAR THAT HOLDS THE VALVE STEM AND SENSOR IN PLACE ON BOTH REAR WHEELS. BOTH VALVE ASSEMBLIES WERE REPLACED. APPROXIMATELY ONE YEAR AGO I HAD THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT WHEEL VALE ASSEMBLY FAIL WHILE I WAS ON THE ROAD. THE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND WITHIN SECONDS THE TIRE WAS FLAT. UPON INSPECTION IT WAS FOUND THAT THE COLLAR HAD FAILED ! THE VALVE ASSEMBLIES APPEAR TO BE MADE OF ALUMINUM AND ARE PRONE TO CORROSION. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION ! THE REPLACEMENT ASSEMBLIES APPEAR TO BE MADE OF THE SAME MATERIALS. THIS MEANS THEY ARE PRONE TO FAILURE AS WELL. VERY UNSAFE! *TR

I HAVE THREE TOMS SENSORS NUTS CORRODE AND FALL OFF MY VEHICLE. I HAVE PAID OUT HUNDREDS AND HAVE BEEN LUCKY TO NOT BE GOING DOWN A HIGHWAY WHEN IT HAPPENS. CAN'T BELIEVE SOMETHING HAS NOT BEEN DONE THRU DODGE TO FIX THIS ISSUE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE IGNITION SWITCH TURNED OFF AND RESULTED IN A LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. VEHICLE WAS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND ALMOST CAUSED A MULTIPLE CAR PILEUP. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR MONTHS. DODGE CHARGED ME $89 TO DIAGNOSE AND THE RESULT WAS THE DEALER TOLD ME TO GET AN OIL CHANGE AND MY RADIATOR CAP MIGHT BE LEAKING. I CONTACTED DODGE CORPORATE ESCALATING TO A MANAGER WITH NO RESULTS. MY WIFE AND KIDS COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. I WAS FORCED TO TRADE TO VEHICLE WHICH COSTS ME LOTS OF MONEY LOSS. DODGE DID NOT CARE AND EITHER DID THE DEALER. THERE ARE NO OTHER KEYS ON THE KEY RING TO INTERFERE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AND THE TRACTION CONTROL WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED.

DRIVING ON LOCAL ROAD, IN CHICAGO WHEN I DISCOVER A TIRE IS FLAT. I NOTICE THAT THE VALVE IS BADLY CORRODED AND THAT THE NUT THAT SHOULD BE HOLDING IT IN PLACE IS MISSING. WHILE CHANGING THE TIRE THE VALVE STEM (TPMS UNIT) FALLS INTO TIRE. THE SUDDEN FLAT WAS CAUSED BY CORROSION OF THE TPMS UNIT WHICH CAUSED IT TO BE LOOSE AND TIRE PRESSURE TO DROP. RESEARCH HAS SHOWN THIS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM, EXISTING FOR MANY YEARS, THAT BOTH DODGE AND ITS ASSISTANT, THE NHTSA, ARE IGNORING. *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

MY HUSBAND AND I WERE DRIVING ONE DAY, OUT OF THY BLUE, THE VAN BEGAN TO SHAKE TOWARDS THE FRONT OF THE VAN. WE COULDN'T GET THE SPEED OVER 25 MPH. WE GOT IT TO THE NEAREST MECHANIC SHOP. THEY SAID IT WAS THE CALIPERS. THEY SAID THAT IT WAS VERY CLOSE TO CATCHING ON FIRE. I HAD TO HAVE BOTH CALIPERS REPLACED AND A BRAKE JOB. I ALSO HAD TO PURCHASE A NEW TIRE. I CALLED AND REPORTED IT TO DODGE/CHRYSLER. THEY SAID THAT THERE HAD NOT BEEN ANY PROBLEMS WITH OTHER VANS. IT WAS AN EXTREMELY SCARY INCIDENT TO GO THROUGH. THEY SAID THAT THEY MIGHT BE ABLE TO DO SOMETHING IF THE VAN HAD ACTUALLY CAUGHT ON FIRE. THAT'S JUST CRAZY. THIS HAS COST ME ABOUT $800.00. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS GETS REPORTED IN CASE OTHER VANS HAVE SIMILAR PROBLEMS. THE MECHANICS WERE SHOCKED AT WHAT THEY SAW. THEY SAID THAT IT SHOULD NOT HAVE DONE WHAT IT DID. *TR

ENGINE SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH DOWN THE EXPRESSWAY. THIS WAS THE 29TH OCCURRENCE. THE 30 HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING OVER A BRIDGE IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD TWO WEEKS LATER AT ABOUT 20 MPH. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON I-90 TPMS INDICATOR CAME ON. WITHIN SECONDS RIGHT REAR TIRE WAS FLAT, WHEN I LOOKED AT THE WHEEL I SAW THE VALVE STEM WAS GONE. THERE WAS NO OTHER DAMAGE TO TIRE. *TR

TRANSMISSION FEELS LIKE IT IS GOING TO COME OUT OF THE FRONT END OF MY CAR. IT MAKES THE CAR MOVE FORWARD WHEN IT DOES IT. NOTIFIED DEALER AND THEY TRIED IT, IT DID NOT DO IT FOR THEM, SO THEY SAY THEY CAN NOT FIX IT. TRIED IT ONCE. UNDER WARRANTY, BUT NO CODES AGAIN.

SHUDDERING WHILE DRIVING AND LOUD NOISE COMING FROM FRONT OF VAN WHILE STOPPING. MADE IT HOME AND HUSBAND INSPECTED THE BRAKES TO FIND THAT PINS WERE MISSING FROM THE CALIPERS! PINS SHOULD NOT JUST FALL OUT OF CALIPERS. SO MANY OTHERS HAVE POSTED ISSUES WITH BRAKES FROM THIS MAKE/MODEL OF CAR, YET NO RECALLS. WHY?? *TR

LAST MAY 7, 2014, I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL FROM CHRYSLER, I VISITED THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE PART, AND AS SOON AS THEY WILL RECEIVE IT THEY WILL LET ME KNOW. TIME PASS BY AND I RECEIVED A SECOND SAFETY RECALL, AT THAT TIME I NEEDED TO TAKE MY CAR TO THE DEALER TO BE REPAIR AND ASKED FOR THE PART, THEY DID NOT HAVE IT YET. THEY DISABLE THE REAR QUARTER VENT WINDOWS TO AVOID PROBLEMS. THEY ASKED ME TO CALL PARTS DEPT. TO FIND OUT WHEN THEY WILL HAVE THE FAMOUS PART. IS BEEN 8 MONTHS AND NOTHING IS BEEN SOLVED. HOW LONG DO I HAVE TO WAIT? IS THAT PART SO DIFFICULT TO FIND? *TR

2010 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN DID NOT START. THIS HAS BEEN AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM. IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR APPROXIMATELY 1 YEAR. TURN THE KEY AND ALL OF THE ACCESSORIES WORK BUT STARTER CLICKS BUT WILL NOT TURN THE MOTOR OVER. TOOK VEHICLE TO THE DEALER ON 4/30/2014 AND WAS TOLD THE STARTER WAS BAD AND WAS REPLACED. DROVE THE VEHICLE TO SCHOOL THAT DAY TO PICK UP CHILD AND VEHICLE DID NOT START. AFTER SEVERAL TRIES IT STARTED. DROVE TO WORK LATER IN THE DAY, SHUT THE VEHICLE DOWN AND TRIED TO RESTART IT AND IT WOULD NOT START. BATTERY HAS BEEN TESTED AND IS GOOD. ALL SIGNS POINT TO A FAULTY WIN. AFTER READING RECALLS ABOUT WIN WIRELESS INTERFACE NODE MODULES, I, LIKE SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE, HAVE FOUND THAT MY VEHICLE DOES NOT FALL UNDER THIS RECALL, MISSING IT BY 3 MONTHS. VEHICLE HAS BEEN BROUGHT BACK TO THE DEALER TO TRY TO GET THE VEHICLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. CONTACTED CHRYSLER/DODGE'S 1 800 NUMBER AND WAS TOLD THE COMPLAINT WAS GOING TO BE ESCALATED TO THE NEXT LEVEL BECAUSE I HAVE CALLED THEM BEFORE ABOUT THIS ISSUE. I NOW FEAR THAT IT WILL SHUT DOWN WHEN I'M TRAVELING OR WILL NOT START WHEN I NEED IT TO AND BE LEFT STRANDED. *TR

MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING OUR FAMILY HOME AND SOME ONE LOST CONTROL OF THEIR VEHICLE AND OUR CARAVAN HIT THEM HEAD ON. THE WHOLE FRONT OF VAN WAS AFFECTED AND IT WAS DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS. NONE OF AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AND THE PASSENGER REAR BUCKET SEAT BELT FAILED AND MY 5 YEAR-OLD'S CARSEAT FLEW INTO THE PASSENGER SEAT AND CONSOLE. HIS NECK AND LEG WERE INJURED AND HE WAS TAKEN TO LOCAL ER BY AMBULANCE. I WAS THE PASSENGER AND MY NECK HAS BEEN SEVERELY INJURED. I FEEL IF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED MY NECK MAY NOT BE AS BAD. I WAS HORRIFIED WHEN I SAW MY SONS CARSEAT NOT IN THE SEAT. THIS VAN OBVIOUSLY HAS SAFETY ISSUES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE TRACTION CONTROL SENSOR LIGHT SUDDENLY ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESPOND WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. AFTER TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTING THE ENGINE, THE VEHICLE RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION. THE CONTACT ALSO INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THE RECALL REMEDY FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V373000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS) WAS PERFORMED TO REPLACE THE IGNITION SWITCH. AFTER REPLACING THE SWITCH, SEVERAL ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS IN THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SHUT OFF, INCLUDING THE DOOR LOCKS, POWER WINDOWS, POWER BRAKES, AND POWER STEERING. WHILE EXAMINING THE VEHICLE, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS WOULD SHUT OFF BUT THE ENGINE WOULD CONTINUE TO OPERATE IF THE IGNITION KEY WAS ROTATED SLIGHTLY TOO FAR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 95,501.

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
