TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V373000 (AIR BAGS , ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS BEGINNING IN JUNE '14 MY 08 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN SXT WOULD HAVE RANDOM ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTIONS INCLUDING SYNCED, INTERMITTENT ACTIVATION OF HORNS, FRONT WIPERS, REAR WIPERS, FRONT WASHER FLUID SPRAY, REAR WASHER FLUID SPRAY, AND DOOR LOCKS. THESE ISSUES WOULD GENERALLY COME TOGETHER IN "EPISODES" THAT COULD LAST FROM ABOUT A MINUTE TO ABOUT 10 MINUTES. THESE EPISODES COULD OCCUR IN RAPID SUCCESSION, SEPARATED BY ONLY A FEW SECONDS, OR THEY MIGHT HAVE 5-10 MINUTES OR SOMETIMES DAYS BETWEEN HAPPENINGS. THIS WOULD CAUSE SUDDEN LOSS OF VISIBILITY WHILE DRIVING, AS THE SPRAYERS WOULD COVER THE WINDSHIELD WITH DROPS BUT THE WIPERS WOULD NOT COMPLETE A PASS TO REMOVE THE FLUID. IT WAS PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS AT NIGHT, SINCE THE DROPS WOULD REFRACT LIGHT AND MAKE VISIBILITY ALMOST ZERO. THIS ALSO RESULTED IN BEING LOCKED OUT OF THE VEHICLE ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, ONCE WITH CHILDREN TRAPPED INSIDE!! WHILE THE PROBLEMS WERE HAPPENING, THE REMOTE "CLICKER" COULD NOT BE USED TO UNLOCK OR OPEN DOORS OR LIFT-GATE. THE ONLY WAY TO ENTER THE VEHICLE WAS TO USE THE PHYSICAL KEY AND FORCE THE LOCK TO TURN AGAINST THE PRESSURE OF THE POWERED DOOR LOCK MOTOR REPEATEDLY RE-LOCKING THE DOORS OTHER INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS: TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT ADVANCE BEYOND 2ND GEAR, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD COME ON, THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS WOULD FLASH AND FLICKER, THE BACK-UP CAMERA WOULD FLICKER (THE IMAGE IS DISPLAYED ON THE RADIO'S SCREEN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN REVERSE), THE DASHBOARD DISPL

ENGINE SHUT OFF COMPLETE AND HARD TO CONTROL THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE BRAKES DON'T RESPONSE AT ALL AND CHRYSLER GROUP LLC DON'T DO NOTHING TO FIX THE PROBLEM AT ALL AND I HAVE OVER 5 MONTH STILL PAYING THE VAN AND I CAN'T DRIVE AT ALL. *TR

IN JANUARY 2014 AS I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE THE GAUGES ON THE DASH SUDDENLY QUIT WORKING, ALL OF THE INDICATOR LIGHTS ON THE DASH CAME ON, THE WIPERS TURNED ON AND THE RADIO AND ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM NO LONGER FUNCTIONED. I TOOK IT TO A DODGE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY EVENTUALLY DIAGNOSED IT WITH A FAULTY TIPM. THE FAULTY TIPM ALSO CAUSED THE POWER DOOR MODULE TO FAIL. NEITHER REPAIR WAS COVERED BY MY EXTENDED WARRANTY WE BOUGHT WITH THE VEHICLE AND WE SPENT $1200 FOR THE REPAIRS. THE SAME THING HAPPENED APPROXIMATELY 2 MONTHS LATER, THIS REPAIR WAS COVERED BY THE DODGE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WARRANTY OF 6 MONTHS 6,000 MILES. ON JANUARY 11TH THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN AND MY 2008 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN AGAIN HAS A TOTAL FAILURE OF THE TIPM. 3 TIMES IN LESS THAN 13 MONTHS. I CONTACTED DODGE CUSTOMER CARE AND THEY SAID THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO TO ASSIST WITH THE REPAIR AND WE AGAIN WILL HAVE GO COVER E REPAID OUT OF POCKET. *TR

MY 5 CHILDREN AND I GOT INTO THE VAN TO HEAD TO MY DISABLED CHILD'S DOCTORS APPOINTMENT. WE HAD JUST PULLED OUT AND BEGAN ACCELERATING WHEN THE CAR SHUT OFF. THE WHEEL LOCKED, AS DID THE BRAKES. IT SEEMED AS THOUGH ALL ELECTRICAL TO THE VAN WAS LOST. NOTHING WORKED. WE WERE STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. WHEN I TRIED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE NOTHING HAPPENED. THE DASH INDICATORS DID NOT COME ON, THE POWER LOCKS AND WINDOWS WOULD NOT WORK. IT WAS DEAD. AFTER THE CHILDREN AND I WERE ALMOST REAR-ENDED BY A UPS TRUCK, I REMOVED MY CHILDREN FROM THE VEHICLE AND BROUGHT THEM TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TOLD THEM TO WALK HOME (FORTUNATELY WE WEREN'T FAR). AT THAT POINT I RETURNED TO ATTEMPT TO GET IT TO RESTART. AFTER ABOUT 15 MINUTES OF BLOCKING TRAFFIC AND 2 NEAR COLLISIONS, THE VAN CAME BACK TO LIFE. I BROUGHT IT BACK TO MY HOME AND PARKED IT. THIS ISSUE BEGAN WHEN, ABOUT 3 WEEKS AGO, MY VEHICLE WOULDN'T START. I THEN DISCOVERED IF I TOOK THE KEY OUT THEN PUT IT BACK IN IT WOULD EVENTUALLY START. I HAD CALLED THE LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD IT WAS MY WIN MODULE. I CALLED DODGE AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS NO ETA ON A REPLACEMENT PART BUT I CAN PAY OUT OF POCKET TO HAVE IT FIXED AND WOULD BE REIMBURSED. AFTER CALLING THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN I WAS INFORMED THAT THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE MEANS TO FIX IT. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS! THE VEHICLE I PURCHASED TO KEEP MY CHILDREN SAFE PUT THEIR LIVES IN DANGER. IT'S THE ONLY VEHICLE I HAVE THAT WILL FIT ALL 5 OF MY CHILDREN. NOW MY

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, THE WIPERS CAME ON, THE HORN STARTED HONKING THE ENGINE STALLED AND THE LIGHTS WENT OFF- SAT ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD FOR 30 MINUTES AND IT STARTED BACK UP -TIPM NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. *TR

DRIVING VAN AND JUSTSHOUT OFF. LOST ALL POWER IN VECHILE AND ALMOSTED CRASHED. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSS ASAP. *TR

WHEN THE PROBLEM FIRST OCCURRED, THE CAR POWER WOULD BLIP: THE GAUGES WOULD GO TO ZERO, THE CLOCK WOULD GO OFF, THE LIGHTS WOULD FLICKER ON AND OFF. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY FIXED SOME WIRING. AFTER THE CAR WAS RETURNED, THE PROBLEM PERSISTED AND WORSENED. NOW, WHEN THE CAR SLOWED DOWN (AT A STOP SIGN OR LIGHT) THE POWER WOULD TURN OFF COMPLETELY, THE ENGINE WOULD STALL, LIGHT WOULD GO OFF, CLOCK WOULD GO OFF, ETC. I HAD TO TURNED THE KEY OFF AND ON TO START THE CAR AGAIN. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER. THEY REPLACED TWO DIFFERENT PARTS - THE ABS MODULE AND THE MAIN FUSE PANEL FOR THE CAR. WHEN THE CAR WAS RETURNED, THE PROBLEM PERSISTED AND GOT WORSE AGAIN. NOW THE CAR, WHEN STOPPED OR SLOWED DOWN, POWER WOULD SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY, SHUTTING EVERYTHING DOWN AS BEFORE, BUT NOW THE KEY WOULDN'T TURN. I COULDN'T TURN IT OFF OR ON OR DO ANYTHING FOR MINUTES AT A TIME. THE CAR POWER WOULD SUDDENLY TURN BACK ON IT'S OWN. SO, ONCE AGAIN, I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER. THIS TIME THEY DID A SOFTWARE UPDATE TO SEVERAL MODULES. I JUST RECEIVED THE CAR BACK FROM THAT VISIT ON 12/17/14. THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS. ON 12/22/14, I LOST POWER IN THE CAR WHILE DRIVING AT A NORMAL SPEED (30 MPH) GOING DOWN A HILL. THE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES WENT OUT AND I HAD TROUBLE GETTING THE CAR TO A STOP. I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO PUT ENOUGH PRESSURE ON THE BRAKES TO SLOW THE CAR AND PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AT THE BOTTOM OF THE HILL. SINCE THEN, I'VE LOST POWER TWICE WHEN STOPPED AT STOP LI

2008 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. CHRYSLER COMPLAINS ABOUT RECALL AND NOT BEING ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE FIXED. *CN RECALL # 14V373000.*JB

OUR 2008 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN HAD AN ISSUE ON THE EVENING OF APRIL 21ST, 2014 WHERE THE KEY JUST FELL OUT OF THE IGNITION. IT DID NOT HAVE AN IMPACT ON BEING ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR, BUT IT JUST FELL OUT. THE NEXT MORNING THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AND THE KEY WOULD NOT TURN OR COME BACK OUT ONCE IT WAS PLACED INTO THE IGNITION. WE HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED TO CARMAX WHERE THEY COMPLETED THE REPAIR AND WE WERE FINE WITH THEIR SERVICE. WE ORIGINALLY PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN NOVEMBER 2011. WE WERE LATER NOTIFIED BY DODGE ABOUT A SAFETY RECALL THAT INVOLVED A WIN MODULE AND THEY DESCRIBED THE POSSIBLE ISSUES EXACTLY AS WHAT HAPPENED TO US. SINCE WE HAD ALREADY GOTTEN THE WORK DONE AND THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN DRIVING GREAT SINCE CARMAX DID THE REPAIR, WE FELT DODGE SHOULD REIMBURSE US SINCE THAT IS WHAT THEIR RECALL NOTIFICATION STATED. NOW DODGE IS SAYING IT WAS A DIFFERENT PART AND THEY WILL NOT HONOR THEIR OWN RECALL. CARMAX WAS AWESOME AND WE ARE VERY HAPPY WITH THE VEHICLE, BUT NOT HAPPY WITH DODGE SINCE THEY ACKNOWLEDGE A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND REFUSE TO HONOR IT. *TR

SLOWLY DRIVING THROUGH MCDONALDS PARKING LOT AND VAN ACCELERATED FOR A SECOND. PULLED OUT INTO THE STREET AND DID IT AGAIN, THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. SEVERAL TIMES VAN WOULD NOT START BUT ELECTRICAL WORKS. WIPERS NOT TURNING OFF TWICE. DOOR LOCKS WON'T LOCK OR UNLOCK. WORRIED THAT THIS SMALL ACCELERATION IS ANOTHER SIGN SOMETHING IS BAD. GOOGLED, READING TIPM IS FAULTY. THIS IS OUR FAMILY VAN AND ONLY VEHICLE, WE HAVE A DAUGHTER WITH DOWN SYNDROME AND MEDICAL ISSUES AND NOW I'M SCARED TO DRIVE. *TR

THE VEHICLE, WHILE DRIVING, BEGAN TO HONK THE HORN, WINDSHIELD WIPERS TURNED ON, WIPER FLUID BEGAN SPRAYING, LIGHTS FLASHED. THIS CONTINUED FOR APPROXIMATELY FIVE STRAIGHT MINUTES. TURNING THE CAR OFF DID NOT STOP THE ACTIONS, NEITHER DID RESTARTING THE CAR. EVENTUALLY THE MALFUNCTION STOPPED ON IT'S OWN. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING THROUGH DODGE SERVICE AND WAS TOLD TOTAL INTEGRATED POWER MODULE NEEDED REPLACING BUT COULD NOT BE ORDERED. THEY STATED CAR WAS SAFE TO DRIVE. THIS CONTINUED TO HAPPEN SPORADICALLY. AT ONE POINT, THE VEHICLE MALFUNCTIONED AND IN ADDITIONAL TO PREVIOUSLY LISTED PROBLEMS, THE VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES WHEN IT OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. WHEN WE WERE FINALLY ABLE TO ORDER THE PART, TWO MONTHS LATER, IT WAS REPLACED. AFTER THREE WEEKS WITH THE NEW TIPM, THE VEHICLE ONCE AGAIN, STARTED TO MALFUNCTION BY HORNS HONKING, WIPERS TURNING OFF, FLUID SPRAYING, LIGHTS FLASHING AND SO ON. I AM TOLD BY DODGE THAT I WILL NEED TO PAY FOR ANOTHER $100 DIAGNOSTIC TEST TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. THEY CONTINUE TO STATE THAT THE CAR IS SAFE TO DRIVE DESPITE INTERMITTENT AND UNEXPECTED LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. *TR

TIRE PRESSURE WAS A BIT LOW ON 2 PASSENGER SIDE TIRES SO ADDED AIR. END OF VALVE STEM (ABOUT 1/4" OF THREAD) BROKE OFF IN THE PUMP NOZZLE TAKING THE VALVE CORE WITH IT IMMEDIATELY RELEASING ALL THE AIR IN THE TIRE IN A SUDDEN RUSH. ON INSPECTION UNIT WAS CORRODED BADLY, SAME SITUATION ON REAR TIRE. THERE IS A RECALL ON THE 2014 DODGE RAM TRUCK FOR THIS VERY ISSUE. THERE ARE NUMEROUS SITUATIONS RECOUNTED ON THE INTERNET OF EXACTLY THIS ISSUE FOR VARIOUS MODEL YEARS OF THE DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. ASIDE FROM THE COST AND INCONVENIENCE OF HAVING TO REPLACE THE TPMS SENSOR, IF THIS WERE TO HAPPEN AT HIGH SPEED A CRASH POSSIBLY WITH FATALITIES WOULD LIKELY OCCUR. DODGE/CHRYSLER REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS PROBABLY BECAUSE IT WOULD BE VERY COSTLY FOR THEM TO RESOLVE AND LIKELY SUITS FOR WRONGFUL DEATH AND NEGLIGENCE. *TR

THERE IS A CURRENT RECALL ON OUR VEHICLE, THE L25 WIN MODULE DETENTION RING. THE VEHICLES KEY CAN MOVE INTO THE ACCESSORY MODE AND THE CAR SHUTS OFF, NO POWER STEERING, NO BOWER BRAKES, NO AIRBAG ETC. VEHICLE JUST ROLLS TO A STOP. THIS HAS HAPPENED 5 TIMES WHILE MY WIFE IS DRIVING THE CAR WITH OUR 3 CHILDREN INSIDE. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS FOR MY FAMILY AND OTHERS ON THE ROADWAY. DODGE DOES NOT HAVE THE PART TO FIX MY VEHICLE AND CAN NOT TELL ME WHEN THIS PART WILL COME AVAILABLE. THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO DO ANYTHING FOR ME AND JUST TELL ME THEY UNDERSTAND MY SITUATION AND THEY ARE SORRY. I'M TOLD BY DODGE CUSTOMER SERVICE, 800-334-9200 THAT THEY HAVE BEEN AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM SINCE 2011. I WOULD HOPE THAT YOU CAN FOLLOW UP WITH DODGE AS THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. *TR

SEVERAL TIMES SINCE APPROXIMATELY AUGUST OF 2013 THE VEHICLE POWER HAS CUT OFF WHILE DRIVING CAUSING LOSS OF POWER STEERING. I HAD THE IGNITION REPLACED ONCE AT MY OWN COST BUT IT DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE THEN WITH THE LATEST BEING IN OCTOBER OF 2014. I AM AWARE OF THE RECALL BUT WHAT IS THE POINT IF THERE IS NO FIX? THE FACT THAT WE ARE STILL WAITING ON A FIX IS UNACCEPTABLE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE NOT AN INCONVENIENCE ISSUE. I HAVE THREE YOUNG CHILDREN AND IT IS UNACCEPTABLE THAT I HAVE TO DRIVE THEM AROUND IN AN UNSAFE VEHICLE BECAUSE DODGE DOESN'T YET HAVE A FIX. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE VAN STALLED THE HORN STARTED BLARING, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS STARTED WORKING AND SQUIRTING WATER. I MANAGED TO GET THE VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD, BUT THE DOORS BEGIN TO LOCK AND UNLOCK AND THE KEY WAS USELESS. YOU COULD NOT SHUT THE HORN OFF OR UNLOCK THE DOOR WITH THE KEY. THE ONLY WAY THUS STOPPED WAS BY DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY. THIS WAS THE FIRST INSTANCE. THE SECOND OCCASION WAS WHEN WE'RE SITTING IN THE HOUSE AND THE HORN JUST STARTED BLARING. EACH TIME THIS LASTS FOR MORE THAN 5 MINUTES, YOU CAN'T STOP IT BECAUSE IT LOCKS THE DOORS, THE KEY DOESN'T WORK, AND YOU CAN'T GET TO THE BATTERY. IT'S DISTURBING, DANGEROUS, AND EMBARRASSING. NOT TO MENTION WE ARE RETIRED AND THIS IS OUR ONLY VEHICLE AND WE DIDN'T EXPECT TO HAVE SUCH AN UNSAFE VEHICLE WITH A MINIVAN. THESE INSTANCES HAVE OCCURRED ON AND OFF FOR THE LAST MONTH. WE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO DISCONNECT OUR CAR BATTERY TO ESCAPE THE FAULTY MALFUNCTIONS. AS OWNERS WE SHOULDN'T BE AFRAID TO GO INTO CHURCH BECAUSE OF THE CAR HORN AND I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY JUST TO ENJOY THE SERVICE. *TR

VAN WAS PARKED IN OUR GARAGE. WE GOT IN TO GO TO CHURCH AND THE VAN WOULD NOT START!! I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND IT WAS ROCK-HARD AND WHEN I TURNED THE KEY IT JUST CLICKED AND TRIED TO START THEN DIED. I CONTINUED TO TRY TO START BY MOVING THE SHIFT LEVER/HITTING THE BRAKE/TURNING THE KEY AND THE VAN STARTED AND WE WENT TO CHURCH. TODAY, 10/29/14, I PARKED MY VAN AT WINN-DIXIE AND WENT INSIDE TO SHOP. WHEN I RETURNED TO LEAVE THE SAME SYMPTOMS EXHIBITED AND FINALLY THE VAN STARTED.
