The contact owns a 2007 Dodge Grand Caravan equipped with Cooper Tires, Tire Line: Evolution Tour, Tire Size: 215/65/R16, DOT Number: (not available). The contact stated while driving 60 MPH, the driver’s side front tire experienced a blowout causing the steering wheel to shake. The contact was able to pull over safely and replace the tire. The failure reoccurred while driving however, the front passenger’s side the tire experienced the blowout. The dealer was contacted and stated that the tire was not under warranty. The manufacturer had been notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 112,393.

WHILE TRAVELING ON I-84 IN IDAHO THE TIRE TREAD SEPARATED FROM THE TIRE. THIS WAS THE SECOND TIRE TO FAIL. THE TIRES WERE COOPER CS5 GT 98T SERIAL NUMBER U96V1CW1617

AFTER EACH AND EVERY VEHICLE FUELING, THE VEHICLE STALLS SEVERAL TIMES CAUSING LOSS OF STEERING AND BRAKES. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND UNSAFE AS THIS SCENARIO HAPPENED TO ME AT AN INTERSECTION AND AT A TURN NEARLY CAUSING ME TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT. *TR

WHEVER I FILL UP THE GAS TANK, THE CAR STARTS TO STALL AND JERKS AND STOPS ALL THE WAY. IT DISPLAYS ENGINE LIGHT AND GOES INTO CRUISE MODE. I HAVE TO TURN IT OFF N BACK ON AND STILL JERKS UNTIL THE FUEL IS LITTLE EMPTY. WHEN I DON'T FILL IT FULL THEN IT DOESN'T DO THIS

MY 2007 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN SE CAN BE EASILY SHIFTED INTO GEAR WHILE IN AUXILIARY POWER, AND IT SOMETIMES LOCKS OUT MY BRAKES, AS THERE IS A LOCKED STEERING WHEEL YOU CAN'T STEER IT AND CAN'T TURN IT ON WITHOUT SHIFTING BACK TO PARK WHICH CAN BE DIFFICULT IF THE BRAKES LOCK. A CHILD COULD EASILY SET IT IN GEAR IF YOU ARE RUNNING THE AIR AND YOU LEAVE THE CAR BRIEFLY, I DO NOT HAVE KIDS BUT I DO RUN SOME TAXI WORK IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. IT COULD BE DONE ANYWHERE AS LONG AS IT'S IN AUXILIARY POWER TO RADIO AND ELECTRICS BUT NOT FULLY ON

AFTER ALMOST EVERY FILL UP VEHICLE STALLS WHEN GOING DOWN ROAD. AFTER RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM I FOUND THE VAPOR/LIQUID SEPARATOR VALVE IS DEFECTIVE. EVIDENTLY THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND A SAFETY ISSUE IN MY OPINION. TO BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND YOUR VEHICLES SHUT DOWN IS DANGEROUS. WHY DOES THE MANUFACTURER NOT HAVE A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. WHEN THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO LOCK THE VEHICLE WITH THE POWER LOCK FUNCTION, BOTH REAR SLIDING DOORS SEIZED WITHOUT WARNING AND WOULD NOT REOPEN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 145,000.

AS I WAS DRIVING IN TOWN THE VEHICLE STARTED RUNNING VERY ROUGH, I PULLED OVER INTO A PARKING LOT AND THEN IT WOULDN'T RUN AT ALL. I HAD IT TOWED TO AN AUTO REPAIR PLACE. THEY REPLACED A SENSOR. THAT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM, SO AFTER A FEW WEEKS THEY FINALLY DIAGNOSED IT AS NEEDING A VALVE JOB. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE NEW IN 2007 AND HAD IT REGULARLY SERVICED.

BRAKES PEDAL GOING TO THE FLOOR WHEN STOPPING AT INTERSECTION! THIS JUST OCCURRED OR STARTED YESTERDAY! I AM TAKING TO A MECHANIC IN THE MORNING TO EVALUATE.

IF VARIOUS OTHER DESIGN FLAWS WITH OTHER VEHICLE PARTS HAVE BEEN DEEMED WORTHY OF RECALL TO BE REDESIGNED BECAUSE THEY HAVE FAILED TO DO THAT FOR WHICH THEY WERE DESIGNED...THEN I FEEL LIKE DODGE AND CHRYSLER SHOULD RECALL MILLIONS OF MINI VANS THEY HAVE PRODUCED IN EARLY 2000'S THAT HAVE TOTALLY RUSTED OUT LOWER PORTION OF SIDE SLIDING DOORS...TOTAL DESIGN FLAW!!!!! A DESIGN FLAW IS A DESIGN FLAW...MANUFACTURES FAULT. THANKS FOR LISTENING..[XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TT

WHILE DRIVING AT 35 MPH OR LESS FOR LESS THAN 5 MINUTES IN CITY TRAFFIC, MY RIGHT REAR TIRE BLEW OUT. FIRESTONE FR710. PURCHASED 11/30/15

TAKARA RECALL- MY VEHICLE WAS PARKED AT A STORE IN WAS WORKING IN, I WENT OUT TO TAKE A BREAK AND HAD THE SEAT WARMER ON HIGH BECAUSE MY BACK WAS HURTING. I STARTED SMELLING BURNING RUBBER, SO I TURNED IT OFF. UPON EXITING MY VEHICLE THERE WERE TWO HOLES BURNED INTO MY DRIVERS SEAT. I HAD USED THE SEAT WARMER NUMEROUS TIMES PRIOR TO THIS AND HAD NO PROBLEMS. I BELIEVE IF I HADN'T TURNED THE SEAT WARMER OFF MY VAN AND MYSELF PROBABLY WOULD HAVE BEEN ON FIRE.

AFTER FILLING THE FUEL TANK THE VEHICLE STALLS, AND SPUTTERS WHEN PULLING INTO TRAFFIC, AND DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD FOR UP TO 1 MINUTE

WHEN TURNING ON RIGHT TURN SIGNAL IT FLASHES AND SHUTS OFF WHILE THE SWITCH IS STILL ON. WHEN I SIGNAL LEFT IT DOESN'T WORK AT TIMES, ALL THIS HAPPENS WHILE THE VEHICLE IN IN MOTION ON THE ROAD. I TRIED CONTACTING DODGE AND THEY WERE NO HELP. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AND COULD LEAD ME TO GET PULLED OVER OR IN AN ACCIDENT

THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY AND BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEAT BELTS FAILED TO LOCK THE OCCUPANTS TO THEIR SEATS. THIS SAFETY EQUIPMENT FAILURE ALLOWED SIGNIFICANT BODY MOVEMENTS OF BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER.
