2008 Dodge Grand Caravan

Defect. Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain 2008-2010 Chrysler Town and Country and Dodge Grand Caravan and 2007-2011 Dodge Nitro vehicles. These vehicles may have a loose or missing brand emblem in the center of the steering wheel. The loose emblem or the securing nuts for the emblem within the driver air bag module may become projectiles in the event of a driver air bag deployment.

Risk. Projectiles as a result of driver air bag deployment in the event of a crash can increase the risk of injury.

Remedy. Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will replace the driver's air bag cover with a redesigned cover, free of charge. The recall began February 11, 2021. Owners may contact FCA US LLC customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is W09.

Defect. FCA US LLC (Chrysler) is recalling certain model year 2009 Dodge Journey vehicles manufactured December 31, 2007, to August 31, 2008, 2008-2009 Dodge Grand Caravan and Chrysler Town and Country vehicles manufactured June 18, 2007, to August 31, 2008. In the affected vehicles, the air bag control units may corrode and fail.

Risk. If the air bag control unit fails, the air bags may not deploy in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of occupant injury. Additionally, the air bags may inadvertently deploy, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy. Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will replace the air bag control unit, free of charge. The recall began on December 6, 2016. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is S07.

Road conditions or some other jarring event may cause the ignition switch to move out of the run position, turning off the engine.

Risk. If the ignition key inadvertently moves into the OFF or ACCESSORY position, the engine will turn off, which will then depower various key safety systems including but not limited to air bags, power steering, and power braking. Loss of functionality of these systems may increase the risk of crash and/or increase the risk of injury in the event of a crash.

Remedy. Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will replace the ignition switch and key FOBs, free of charge. The recall began on May 26, 2015. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is R03. Note: This is an expansion of recall 11V-139.

The contact owns a 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan. The contact stated that a dealer recently serviced under NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V396000 (Air Bags, Steering). The contact stated that the dealer replaced the airbag module components located underneath the center console; however, the connected wiring was not replaced. Later, while the unoccupied vehicle was parked in a casino parking lot, the casino staff informed the contact that the vehicle was on fire. The fire department arrived, extinguished the flames, and filed an official report. The incident: the vehicle was towed to the contact's residence, where a secondary inspection indicated that the fire originated underneath the center console, where the recall repair had been performed.

Subject: URGENT SUPPLEMENT TO NHTSA COMPLAINT #11753124 — Unresolved Safety Recalls, Airbag Hazards, Dealer Refusal/Delay, and Conflicting Parts Availability Information Vehicle: 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan NHTSA Complaint: #11753124 Mopar Corporate Case: #97575701 I am submitting this as an urgent supplement to my existing NHTSA complaint concerning multiple unresolved federal safety recalls on my 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan. The circumstances have become increasingly concerning because the vehicle has multiple safety recalls, including recalls involving the airbag system, while I have received conflicting information from authorized Stellantis/Mopar representatives and dealerships concerning the availability of the required remedy parts. My vehicle was purchased used through a private sale. The NHTSA VIN-specific recall information shows multiple recalls as incomplete. The recalls include serious safety issues involving the airbag/occupant restraint system, the steering wheel airbag assembly, ignition-related loss of vehicle functions, and a potential fire hazard involving the sliding-door wiring. The situation is not merely theoretical. One of the vehicle's sliding doors is currently not functioning. The vehicle also has no front heat or air conditioning. Most importantly, the steering-wheel emblem associated with the driver's airbag assembly became detached, and I had t

Subject: Manufacturer and Dealer Non-Compliance / Obstruction of Federal Safety Recalls Vehicle: 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan Description of Problem: I am filing a formal complaint against Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA)/Mopar and its authorized dealer network for active non-compliance, negligence, and obstruction regarding 7 open federal safety recalls on my vehicle. Authorized franchise dealerships have repeatedly refused to initiate the recall process, scan my vehicle's VIN, or open a formal Repair Order to place required parts on backorder. One dealership nonchalantly dismissed the safety hazards, claiming parts are entirely unavailable because the recalls date back to 2010.( United Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram at Jeep Ram [XXX]) Another dealership employee, Craig, used hostile and coercive tactics when discussing service terms, creating an intimidating environment that makes it a safety risk for me to physically bring my vehicle to that location.(Star Chrysler Jeep Dodge FIAT 21110 Jamaica Ave Queens Village, NY 11428) On July 27, 2026, I contacted Mopar Corporate Customer Care to escalate this dealer non-compliance. I spoke with agent Sam under Corporate Case Number XXX. Agent Sam actively obstructed my efforts to secure a remedy. He falsely claimed to be contacting local dealers to check inventory, but when I offered to call those same locations, conference, to verify his claims, he strongly resisted. I asked to speak to a supervisor to escalate the agent's deceptive behavior a

2008 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARD TO NHTSA SAFETY RECALL 20V-396.

SHIFT LEVER PLACED IN TO PARK WILL NOT RELEASE KEY FOB, KEEPING THE VEHICLE IN ACCESSORY MODE AND DRAINING BATTERY. OCCASSIONALLY SHIFTING BACK AND FORTH FROM 'PARK' TO OTHER POSITIONS AND BACK TO 'PARK' WILL CAUSE THE IGNITION TO RELEASE KEY FOB AS NORMAL. EVENTUALLY FOUND ON FORUMS THAT FLICKING THE SHIFTER BUTTON ONCE IN PARK WILL HELP DEPRESS MICROSWITCH AND ALLOW IGNITION TO TURN OFF, THUS RELEASEING FOB. EVENTUALLY THIS STOPPED WORKING AS WELL. MY FIRST FIX WAS REMOVING THE DASH AND BENDING THE MICROSWITCH LEG SO THAT MORE FIRM CONTACT WAS MADE BY SHIFT ARM WHEN PLACED IN 'PARK.' THIS EVENTUALLY STOPPED WORKING AGAIN. I FINALLY REMOVED DASH AND DISPLACED MICROSWITCH SO THAT IT PROTRUDES THROUGH IGNITION RING AND HANGS OUT NEAR THE KEY FOB. NOW WHEN I PARK, I MANUALLY PRESS THE MICROSWITCH AND THE IGINITION RELEASES THE FOB FULLY EVERY TIME! OTHERWISE YOU'RE STUCK REPLACING THE ENTIRE SHIFT ASSEMBLY FOR OVER $200 FOR PARTS AND MORE FOR WHATEVER LABOR IS CHARGED! ALL FOR A $2 MICROSWITCH THAT IS POSITIONED WRONG.

The heat exhaust from the motor heats the forward cab even if all of the vents are closed.

On 4/22/22 a lady hit my van so hard and no air bags deploy. I hit my head on the steering wheel and it never came out. No air bags in my van came out. Also the seal belts didn't hold anyone into place.

The contact stated that the service engine warning light remained illuminate on the instrument panel. The contact stated that after he pulled over and restarted the vehicle, the vehicle resumed normal operation. The contact had taken the vehicle to an independent mechanic who informed him that the transmission needed to be replaced. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer had been notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 110,000. The VIN was not available.

The vehicle entered "limp home" mode on a busy highway. After a little research, I found out that this could be caused by a short in wiring. There was already a recall on this vehicle related to the wiring harnesses in the rear sliding doors. At the time, we were experiencing no issues, but took it anyway where we were told that everything was OK and as far as I know, no work was done to correct the potential defect. Subsequently that assembly has fallen apart on both sides and now we're left with a vehicle that repeatedly enters limp home mode often at very inconvenient times, triggering the wipers, as well as all the lights on the dashboard. We'd really like to know that this known issue can be fixed and that Chrysler/Dodge didn't actually put an expiration date on safety.

My vehicles rear doors and back windows have stopped opening I'm afraid if something happen like an accident me and my 7 children will not be able to escape the vehicle I'm a single mother of 7 I have no way of repairing it myself when the pandemic. Hit I lost everything please help

You will be driving this vehicle and all of the sudden the wipers will start going off, all the dash lights go on and off , all of the gages will move and it will start dinging at you that something is wrong. sometimes it happens once and stops and other times it will happen for 5-10 minutes without stopping and then all of the sudden it just stops. We have had it looked at so many times and have repaired different wires and such but nothing seems to work. Now I have found out that the TIPM is bad and you have to wait weeks to get it and then it could happen again.

THE DRIVER SIDE SLIDING DOOR DOES NOT OPERATE PROPERLY . IT DOES NOT OPEN AUTOMATICALLY WITH THE REMOTE IF THE DOOR IS MANUALLY LOCKED. IF THE SLIDING DOOR IS LEFT UNLOCKED IT WILL OPEN WITH THE REMOTE. A SAFETY CONCERN OF MINE IS THAT WHEN THE VAN IS IN MOTION LETS SAY 60MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, SOMEONE CAN PULL ON THE OPEN DOOR LATCH AND THE DOOR WILL OPEN, BECAUSE THE SAFETY SYSTEM IN PLACE DOES NOT LOCK THE DOOR WHEN IN MOTION.

WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREET (BETWEEN 20 AND 30 MPH) THE VEHICLE ENGINE SHUT OFF. THE POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES ALSO STOPPED MAKING THE VEHICLE DIFFICULT TO STOP OR MANEUVER TO A SAFE STOPPING LOCATION. THERE WAS NO WARNING OF A FAILURE AND THE ONLY INDICATION WAS THE TRACTION CONTROL/STABILITY DASH INDICATOR. AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED IT WAS PLACED IN PARK AND RESTARTED, THEN DROVE FINE. THERE WERE STILL NO INDICATIONS OF A FAILURE (CEL OR SES LIGHT). NO DIAGNOSTIC CODES WERE STORED ON THE COMPUTER. BECAUSE THIS HAPPENS COMPLETELY UNEXPECTED, IF IT WERE TO OCCUR WHILE GOING AROUND A CURVE OR IN AN INTERSECTION THERE IS A SAFETY CONCERN.

I JUST BOUGHT MY VAN USED AND THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT STAYS ON (PRESSURE HAS BEEN CHECKED) THE CHECK ENGINE HAS NOW COME ON AND REMAINS ON ALONG WITH ALL THE ABS, TRACTION CONTROL AND BRAKE LIGHTS HAVE COME ON AS WELL. THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT FLASHES WHILE DRIVING AND THE VAN WILL DECELERATE WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. EVERY TIME DRIVING THE VEHICLE
