The contact owns a 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked, the contact attempted to turn on the headlight and became aware that the headlights were inoperable. No warning light was illuminated. The vehicle had not been diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and determined that the VIN was not included in a recall. The failure mileage was unknown.

For some reason my caravan has started leaking gas from on top of the gas tank. not sure why, but I heard the was a recall but it was over 15 years ago so you people don't list anything older. i've only had the car a couple months, and also having a catalytic converter problem as well..

The contact owns a 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan. The contact stated while driving 30 MPH, the front driver’s side tire detached from the vehicle. The contact stated that the vehicle was towed to the residence and then towed to an independent mechanic. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The contact stated that the independent mechanic was unable to duplicate the failure. The contact was provided a cost for the repair. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 157,000.

Several times in past year after filling the gas tank, shortly after driving away from gas station the engine misfires and stalls. This has been a safety hazard when merging into traffic. This problem is widely noted in forums on the internet for Chrysler minivans, for many other model years including the 2005. The best explanation being given (link follows) is that the vapor/liquid separator valve on top of the fuel tank has failed, a part that is not replaceable--the entire fuel tank must be replaced. Some report it happened when their minivan was brand new. https://ricksfreeautorepairadvice.com/engine-stalls-after-filling-tank-chrysler-minivan/

ON THE EVENING OF 03/04/2021 @ 9:00PM. WHILR DRIVING HOME FROM THE GROCERY STORE DOING APPROX 35 MPH, MY VAN SUDDENLY LOST ALL POWER AND ABILITY TO USE POWER STEERING AND USE OF BRAKES. I HAD MY CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME AND THEY WERE ABLE TO HELP ME GET THE VAN OUT OF THE TRAVEL LANE AND SAFELY INTO A PARKING LOT. VAN DID NOT WANT TO START AFTER CUTTING OFF THE IGNITION SWITCH AND CUTTING IT BACK ON. WHEN I RESTARTED THE VAN IT WOULDNT ACCELERATE PASSED 15MPH WITH THE PEDAL ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOOR THEN IT CONSTANTLY STALLED OUT 8-10 TIMES THE LAST MILE FROM HOME.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD ABOUT 35 MPH MY VAN JUST DIED OUT IN TRAFFIC N WOULD NOT RESTART. THANK GOD I WAS NOT ON INTERSTATE

THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND HAS REMAINED ON FOR WEEKS. THE CLOCK SPRING WAS REPLACED. THE WARNING LIGHT DID NOT GO OUT. THERE IS A CODE ABOUT THE AIRBAG SQUIB. NOT SURE WHEN THE LIGHT CAME ON, WHETHER IT WAS DURING TRANSIT OR AT STARTUP. *TR

ON 01\02\2020, THE ABS, BRAKE, AND TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHTS DISPLAYED ON THE DASH. NOW INTO WINTER, THE VEHICLE NO LONGER HAS TRACTION CONTROL AND ABS. DIAGNOSTICS REVEAL THAT THE ABS MODULE HAS PROPER POWERS AND GROUNDS EVEN UNDER LOAD. SO FAR, THE ONLY PROBLEM IS THE ABS MODULE HAS A PROBLEM WITH COMMUNICATION, DIAGNOSED AT THE LOCAL INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP. SO FAR THE VEHICLE IS NOT REPAIRED, AND CONTINUES TO BE OPERATED WITH THE ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL OUT OF OPERATION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE ALTERNATOR COMPLETELY DETACHED FROM THE VEHICLE WITHOUT WARNING.

IT DOES NOT SHIFT INTO PARK. THE TRANSMISSION CABLE IS BROKEN. YOU HAVE TO PUT YOUR HAD IN AND MANUALLY PARK THE VAN. BEFORE THE CABLE BROKE IT HAD TROUBLES SHIFTING AND NOW WENT WORK AT ALL.

REPEATEDLY THE VEHICLE WILL LOOSE POWER AND STALLS OUT AFTER FILLING THE TANK WITH FUEL. IT WILL OCCUR WITHIN LESS AND 1/8TH OF MILE AFTER PULLING OUT OF THE GAS STATION. THE VEHICLE HAS DONE THIS REPEATEDLY IN INOPPORTUNE SITUATIONS, LIKE TRAVELING UP A STEEP HILL AND AT A BUSY INTERSECTION. WE ARE ORIGINAL OWNERS AND HAD NEVER HAD AN ACCIDENT WITH IT . IT HAS JUST UNDER 120K MILES ON IT.

AIRBAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED.... THERE IS A RECALL AFFECTING 2005 - 2006 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN / TOWN AND COUNTRY AIRBAGS ITS SAYING MY VIN HAS 0 RECALLS THIS IS FALSE DATA. MY LIGHT FLICKERS ON AND OFF AND ACCORDING TO THE BOOK IF LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED MY AIRBAGS WON'T DEPLOY THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN FOR MY FAMILY. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE USED AND THE LIGHT CAME ON ABOUT A WEEK AFTER I BOUGHT IT DURING A RAIN.

CAR WILL STALL A FEW MINUTES AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK. IT WILL STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING ON THE ROAD AND WILL NOT RESTART FOR 20 MINUTES CAUSING A DANGEROUS SITUATION.

FACTORY FUEL PUMP IS CRACKED, WRIGHT ON THE CONNECTION TO THE FUEL LINE ,ITS A HAIR LINE CRACK,

I JUST ACQUIRED THIS VEHICLE. I UNDERSTAND GAS 6 RECALLS BASED IN THE NHTSA. DOORS READ MODEL 2004. I CALLED CHRYSLER DODGE DEALER IN HEMET, CALIFORNIA AND THE SERVICE RECEPTIONIST STATED THERE IS NOTHING TO DO THAT ARE NO RECALLS FOR THIS VAN. PLEASE HELP. THE LIGHT ENGINE IS ON. THE POWER TRAIN KICKS SOMETIMES (DRAGS) SUDDENLY. AND I SEE THE 6 RECALLS APPLICABLE TO THIS MODEL

VAN LOSE POWER STEERING DURING HEAVY RAIN ONLY. I PURCHASE THIS VAN IN JUNE/JULY 2018 RECENTLY HAD POWER STEERING CHECK AND NO ISSUES FOUND. YET THIS THE FIFTH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. TODAY I WAS DRIVING IN THE RAIN TO PICKUP MY DAUGHTER FROM SCHOOL AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THE WHEEL TIGHTEN UP AND I WAS UNABLE TURN. I HAD TO TURN ON MY HAZARDS LIGHT AND TURN CAR OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. AFTER LETTING VEHICLE SIT ABOUT 15 MINUTES I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME. I REPEAT IT ONLY HAPPENS IN THE RAIN WHY I BELIEVE THERE IS A MANUFACTOR DEFECT AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED.

WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT, ANOTHER DRIVER TOLD US THE VAN'S TAIL LIGHT WAS SMOKING. WE PULLED AROUND A CORNER AND INTO A PARKING LOT AND FOUND THAT THE PASSENGER TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY WAS ON FIRE WITH FLAMES LAPPING UP THE SIDE OF THE VAN. THE VAN WAS TURNED OFF AND THE FIRE WAS EXTINGUISHED. WE REMOVED THE TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY AND FOUND THAT THE INSIDE OF THE ASSEMBLY AND THE WIRING HARNESS WERE DESTROYED. THERE IS ALSO BODY DAMAGE. WE HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKE LIGHT BULB IN THE PASSENGER SIDE BURNING OUT FREQUENTLY, AND HAD SEEN EVIDENCE OF OVERHEATING AND SOME MELTING IN THE BRAKE LIGHT CONNECTOR SOCKET IN ABOUT 2010. ALTHOUGH THE LIGHTS BURN OUT FREQUENTLY, THE MELTING HAD NOT GOTTEN WORSE SINCE THEN. THE DRIVER'S SIDE TAIL LIGHT HAS NEVER EXHIBITED A PROBLEM LIKE THIS. AT THIS TIME IT IS UNKNOWN IF THERE IS ANY DAMAGE OR FAULT IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM BEYOND THE TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY. A ROUGH ESTIMATE OF OBVIOUS DAMAGES IS APPROXIMATELY $1,000 TO $1,500 WITH REPAINTING.

I HAVE A FUEL LEAK UNDERNEATH FROM THE TOP OF FUEL TANK. I BELIEVE IT IS COMING FROM THE FUEL PUMP. LEAKS WHEN ENGINE IS RUNNING ONLY. DOES NOT LEAK WHEN AUTO IS NOT RUNNING.

TURN SIGNALS STOPPED WORKING IN THE FRONT. REPLACED BULBS MULTI FUNTION SWITCH AND LIGHT BULD SOCKETS AND STILL DONT WORK

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. WHEN THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO UNLOCK THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE DOORS WITH THE KEY FOB, THEY WOULD NOT UNLOCK.

IN 2013, THE AIRBAG SENSOR LIGHT CAME ON AS I WAS DRIVING. I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE SEAT BELT TENSIONER, WHICH THEY REPLACED. TWO YEARS LATER, THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN AS I WAS DRIVING AND I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL GARAGE. I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE SEAT BELT TENSIONER AGAIN AND THEY REPLACED IT. THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN IN 2016 AND THEY CLEANED IT OUT. ON MARCH 4, 2017, THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN AND I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE SEAT BELT TENSIONER AGAIN. AS OF MARCH 5TH, THE LIGHT NO LONGER COMES ON. I KNOW THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE 2005 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN ON THE FRONT CRASH SENSOR IN 2010 (NTSA CAMPAIGN ID 10V008000). I WAS TOLD PREVIOUSLY THAT MY VIN NUMBER WAS AFFECTED. HOWEVER, I'M BEGINNING TO WONDER IF THAT'S NOT THE CASE.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V008000 (AIR BAGS). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

CLEAR COAT AND PAINT IS PEELING OFF LEAVING RUST ON THIS VAN IT SHOULD NOT BE DOING THIS WE HAVE OLDER CARS NOT DOING THIS AT ALL , I SEE A LOT OF DODGER VANS DOING THIS VERY SAME THING.

AIRBAG LIGHT JUST CAME ON.FLASHES INTERMITTINGLY ,SOMETIMES WHEN BRAKING, SOMETIMES WHEN ACCELERATING.FROM MY RESEARCH,IT SEEMS LIKE THE CLOCK SPRING IS DEFECTIVE.MY MILEAGE IS 150,000 MILES. WEATHER HAS BEEN VERY RAINY IN SOUTHERN CALIF. RECENTLY(AFTER YEARS OF DROUGHT-LIKE WEATHER).READING OF OTHER VANS HAVING PROBLEM ON EAST COAST.

HAVE FUEL SMELL AT BACK MIDDLE OF VAN, FOUND FUEL LEAKING AT MIDDLE OF FUEL TANK, REPLACED FUEL LINE CONNECTED TO FUEL PUMP OUTPUT CONNECTOR. DID NOT STOP FUEL LEAK, FOUND CRACKED FUEL PUMP AT THE OUTPUT AREA. LEAKS AS LONG AS THE HIGH PRESSURE SIDE OF FUEL PUMP IS PRESSURIZED.

NOTICED GASOLINE SMELL EVERY TIME I STOP/PARK CAR & GET OUT. AFTER FEW WEEKS, CHECKED UNDERNEATH VAN & SAW GAS SLOWLY DRIPPING FROM ABOUT MIDDLE OF GAS TANK. IT WAS RUNNING DOWN THE SIDE FROMN THE TOP OF TANK. STOPPED DRIPPIONG AFTER STOPPED FOR FEW MINUTES, BUT FOUND OUT THAT WHILE VAN WAS RUNNING IT DRIPPED CONSTANTLY. GOOGLED THIS PROBLEM & OTHER ARE HAVING SAME PROBLEM WITH CRACKS IN FUEL PUMP. THIS COULD BE A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH A SPARK/HOT EXHAUST PIPE/MUFFLER CLOSE BY.

THE HEAD LIGHTS GO OUT WHILE DRIVING. NO WARNING SIGNS, YOU LOSE ALL HEADLIGHTS. IF THE SWITCH IS TURNED ON AND OFF SEVERAL TIMES THEY WILL COME BACK ON. MY LIGHTS WENT OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN A COUNTY HIGHWAY GOING 55 MPH. THERE WERE NO STREET LIGHTS. IT HAPPENED A TOTAL OF 4 TIMES ON MY 40 MINUTE DRIVE HOME THROUGH THE COUNTRY. VERY SCARY!

2205 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN STALLS AFTER REFUELING. MULTIPLE OCCURENCES. HAPPENS IN MOTION STRAIGHT LINE, WHILE ACCELERATING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. AFTER REFUELING THE VEHICLE, THE ENGINE STARTED AND STALLED. THE OIL WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 105,000.

SMELLED RAW GASOLINE SMELL OUTSIDE OF VEHICLE AFTER RUNNING VEHICLE. OCCURRED ON TWO OCCASIONS ON AUG 23, 2016. LOOKED UNDER VEHICLE ON 8/30/16 AND SAW AND FELT LIQUID FUEL ON FUEL TANK IN VICINITY WHERE FUEL PUMP GOES INTO GAS TANK. LEAK OCCURS WHEN IGNITION IS IN THE ON (RUNNING) POSITION. DID ONLINE RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT OTHERS HAVE HAD SAME PROBLEM WITH FATIGUE CRACKS IN PLASTIC TOP OF FUEL PUMP, WHERE FUEL HOSE ATTACHES. WHEN KEY TURNED ON AND FUEL PUMP IS PRESSURIZED, FUEL BEGINS TO LEAK THROUGH THE HAIRLINE CRACK. DANGEROUS, AS MUFFLER AND EXHAUST PIPE ARE LOCATED LESS THAN ONE FOOT FROM THE SOURCE OF THE LEAK!! TOOK VEHICLE TO REPAIR FACILITY, WHO DETERMINED FUEL PUMP MODULE WAS LEAKING AS DESCRIBED ABOVE. COST OVER $500 TO HAVE NEW PUMP INSTALLED, EVEN THOUGH THE OLD FUEL PUMP WAS STILL WORKING, THOUGH LEAKING.

EVERY TIME I FILL UP THE VEHICLE WITH GAS, IT STALLS EVERY TIME WITHIN THE FIRST FEW MINUTES, LAST WEEK DAUGHTER WAS MERGING INTO TRAFFIC WHEN IT HAPPENED AND ALMOST GOT REAR-ENDED. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR A WHILE NOW. LAST WINTER I WASN'T ABLE TO FILL THE VEHICLE, THE PUMP KEPT SHUTTING DOWN BUT THAT WENT AWAY AFTER THE WEATHER WARMED UP.

THERE IS A DOCUMENTED DEFECT IN THE FRONT AIRBAG SENSORS THAT RESULTED IN A CHRYSLER "SAFETY IMPROVEMENT" CAMPAIGN LIMITED TO MAINLY NORTHERN STATES. MY CAR HAS THIS PROBLEM BUT HAS BEEN IN FLORIDA FOR ITS WHOLE LIFE. CLEARLY THEY RECOGNIZE THAT THERE IS A DEFECT IN THIS PART BUT WILL NOT ISSUE A RECALL FOR FLORIDA-BASED CARS. CAN YOU MAKE THEM EXPAND THIS RECALL TO ALL 2005 DODGE CARAVANS SINCE IT IS A CLEAR DANGER THAT THEY ARE NOT FULLY RESPONDING TO.ATTACHED IS WHAT I FOUND ON THE INTERNET. CHRYSLER REFERRED ME TO A LOCAL DEALER WHO WILL CHARGE ME FOR THE REPAIR IF CHRYSLER DOESN'T PAY FOR IT AND THEY HAVE MADE NO COMMITMENT TO PAY IF THE DEFECT TURNS OUT TO BE WHAT THEY HAVE RECALLED OTHER VEHICLES OF THE SAME YEAR AND MODEL FOR. THE CHRYSLER CASE NUMBER IS 29905594 GIVEN THE SIGNIFICANT SAFETY RISK OF THIS DEFECTIVE PART CAN YOU EXPAND THIS FROM A SAFETY CAMPAIGN TO A FULL RECALL FOR ALL CARS OF THIS MODEL YEAR.

VAN STALLS AFTER FUELING. EVERY TIME YOU FILL UP THE VAN, THE VAN WILL STALL FOR NO REASON. IT WILL RESTART WITHIN A MINUTE OR 2. IT WILL THEN HAVE NO PROBLEMS UNTIL THE NEXT FILL UP. READING REPORTS ON THE WEB, THIS IS HAPPENING ON ALL DODGE AND CHRYSLER VEHICLES EVEN CAUSING SOME TO STALL ON TRAIN TRACKS. NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE VAN UNTIL I HIT AROUND 100K MILES. ALL OTHER REPORTS ON THE WEB ARE IDENTICAL. CHRYSLER DODGE SHOULD RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE DIES

2005 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN STALLS AFTER REFUELING. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR ABOUT 3 YEARS WHEN THE FUEL TANK GETS LOW AND THEN REFILLED. MOST OF THE TIME THE STALL HAPPENS SHORTLY AFTER REFILLING AND I COME TO A STOP LIGHT OR STOP SIGN. THERE HAVE BEEN FEW OCCASIONS WHERE THE CARAVAN HAS STALLED WHILE IN MOTION WHILE TRAVEL UNDER 20 MPH. I CAN USUALLY RESTART THE CARAVAN IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE STALL. THE ONLY SOLUTION FROM ONLINE FORUMS SEEMS TO BE TO REPLACE THE FUEL TANK AND PURGE THE VALVE AND CHARCOAL CANISTER OF ANY RAW FUEL. SEEMS LIKE A COMMON PROBLEM WITHIN SIMILAR MODELS.

I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT WHILE IN MOTION AT 35 MILES PER HOUR IN SAN ANTONIO TEXAS ON A DRY, 4 LANE STREET, WHEREAS A TRUCK RAN A STOP ON 5/6/2016. MY VEHICLE FRONTEND TRAVELING STRAIGHT ON A LEVEL SURFACE, 4 LANE STREET & STRUCK THE OTHER VEHICLE CAUSING MY VEHICLE TO BE TOTALED. I WAS WEARING MY SEATBELT & SUFFERED LOWER BACK, NECK & LEFT PHEMUR INJURIES. I WENT TO THE HOSPITAL FOR EMERGENCY CARE. SINCE FEBRUARY 2016 I WROTE LETTERS TO THE CAR DEALERSHIP WHOM DOLD ME THIS VEHICLE & NO RESPONSE.

CAR WILL STALL A COUPLE OF TIMES AFTER FILLING UP TANK PROBABLY WILL GO AWAY AFTER DRIVING A COUPLE OF BLOCKS

STOPPED AT THE TRAFFIC LIGHT AND PROCEEDED THROUGH THE INTERSECTION. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AND SUDDENLY ACCELERATED. TRIED TO SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN USING THE BRAKE PEDAL WHICH WOULD NOT ENGAGE OR PRESS DOWN. CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE FASTER. CONTINUED TO TRY TO BREAK THE CAR AND SLOW DOWN. BRAKES DID NOT RESPOND. TRIED TO CHANGE THE GEAR TO NEUTRAL OR PARK. CAR KEPT ACCELERATING. PULLED OFF THE ROAD INTO THE CURB AND THROUGH A FENCE. AS THE CAR WAS APPROACHING THE BUILDING AT HIGH SPEED.

KNOCKED CONCRETE BLOCK WALL AND DOOR DOWN. BLESSED TO BE ALIVE. CAR WAS TOTALED. ALSO, THE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. POLICE SAID THAT THE THROTTLE MUST HAVE BEEN STUCK OPEN.

THE LEFT SIDE RUNNING LIGHTS ARE NOT LIGHTING WHEN THE HEADLIGHT IS TURNED ON. THE RIGHT SIDE WORKS. THE LEFT SIDE BLINKER AND BRAKE LIGHT WORKS WHICH INDICATES THE BULBS ARE GOOD BUT WILL NOT LIGHT WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS ARE TURNED ON.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED, THE AIR BAG LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED.

IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

POWER LOCKS MALFUNCTIONING, LIGHTS GO ON AND OFF ON THEIR OWN, DRIVING AT NIGHT DANGEROUS. SOMETHING WRONG WITH ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS. WORK ONE TIME THAN THEY DONT. NOW MY LIGHTS WANT TO STAY ON OR COME ON RANDOMLY N I END UP WITH DEAD BATTERY. LOCKS DANGEROUS WHEN YOU CAN'T UNLOCK REAR DOOR TO GET CHILD OUT. TURN SIGNAL DOESN'T TURN OFF ON ITS OWN. STALLS AFTER FILLING FUEL TANK. POWER DRIVERS SEAT HAS STOOPED WORKING PROPERLY SLSO, I'M SHORT AND WOULD RATHER NOT HAVE TO SIT ON TOP OF SIR BAG BUT NOT ALL OF THE ADJUSTMENT FUNCTIONS ARE WORKING PROPERLY. SO CAN'T TILT SEAT INSTEAD I HAVE TO SIT ON TOP OF AIR BAG, AT A WEIGHT OF 129 N UNDER 5 FEET TALL I SURE HOPE THAT SIR BAG NEVER DEPLOYS ON ME
