THIS VAN DIES WHILE IN OPERATION, MOST OFTEN WITHIN THE FIRST 5 MILES OF DRIVING IN THE MORNING. IT HAS GOTTEN TO THE POINT WHERE IT HAPPENS EVERY SINGLE DAY, SOMETIMES MULTIPLE TIMES A DAY. IT APPEARS TO HAPPEN MOST FREQUENTLY WHEN DECELERATING (UPON TAKING OUR FOOT OFF THE GAS, THE TACHOMETER BOUNCES WAY DOWN (~500RPM OR SO), THEN STUTTERS A BIT, THEN THE VEHICLE STALLS/DIES. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE TURNING AT AN INTERSECTION SEVERAL TIMES, AND WE NARROWLY ESCAPED A COLLISION. WE HAVE HAD 2 KEY FOB RECALLS PERFORMED, AS CHRYSLER HAD ATTRIBUTED THE PROBLEM TO FAULTY FOBS/IGNITION SWITCHES....THE MOST RECENT RECALL WAS PERFORMED LESS THAN 6 MONTHS AGO. NO CHANGE WAS NOTED AFTER THE RECALL WORK WAS PERFORMED. THE PROBLEM RARELY HAPPENS ON THE HIGHWAY, ALTHOUGH IT DID HAPPEN TO MY WIFE LAST WEEK WHILE SHE WAS AT HIGHWAY SPEED ON THE INTERSTATE. I'M LISTING TODAY'S DATE IN THE FIELD OF "WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN?", AS IT DID HAPPEN TO ME TODAY WHILE IN AN INTERSECTION, TURNING LEFT - I IMMEDIATELY SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL AND RESTARTED IT, NARROWLY MISSING THE CAR TO MY RIGHT WHICH WAS ALSO TURNING LEFT...BUT IT HAPPENS VIRTUALLY EVERY DAY NOW.

A FEW WEEK AGO, IN THE MORNING WHEN ME AND THE WIFE HAD JUST DROPPED ONE OF OUR CHILDREN OFF AT ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, GOT BACK INTO THE CAR, TURNED IT ON AND STARTED TO DRIVE AWAY; THE CAR DID A HARD JERK MOTION AND THEN ALL THE LIGHTS CAME ON. SO THE NEXT I TOOK OUR VAN TO FIRESTONE BECAUSE CAUSE MY ABS, BRAKE, ESP AND OTHER BREAKING INFORMATION LIGHTS CAME AND THEIR WAS A STRANGE NOISE COMING FROM THE FROM DRIVER SIDE OF THE CAR ALL AT THE SAME TIME. WHEN FIRESTONE TECH FOUND THE PROBLEM HE TOLD ME THAT THE ABS SYSTEM WAS FAULTY AND I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT DODGE COMPANY KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM BUT IS NOT A SAFETY RECALL. SO FOR A SMALL PART THAT HELPS WITH THE SAFETY OF MY FOUR YOUNG CHILDREN AND WIFE I PAID 675 TO FIX THE PROBLEM. AND AT THIS DATE AND TIME MY VAN IS NOW SETTING AT TRANSMISSION SHOP SO THAT I CAN FIND OUT IF THE ABS GOING OUT SOME HOW DID SOMETHING TO MY TRANSMISSION.

MY VAN WAS SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY. I USED THE KEY FOB TO ATTEMPT TO UNLOCK THE DOORS AND INSTEAD THE HORN STARTED HONKING, WIPERS GOING, WASHER FLUID SPRAYING AND LIGHTS FLASHING. IT DID NOT STOP AND THE DOORS WOULD NOT UNLOCK. I HAD TO USE THE HIDDEN KEY IN THE KEY FOB TO MANUALLY UNLOCK THE DOOR TO OPEN THE HOOD AND DISCONNECT THE BATTERY. I RECONNECTED IT AND ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE IT TO MY MECHANIC. IT STALLED AFTER ABOUT 50 FEET. I ENDED UP BEING ABLE TO DRIVE IT TO THE MECHANIC FOUR DAYS LATER. MY MECHANIC SAID IT HAD 6 RECALLS ON IT (WHICH I WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF) AND NEEDED THE TIPM REPLACED, WHICH WAS NOT A PART OF A RECALL. HE SAID CHRYSLER WOULD NOT ALLOW HIM TO BUY THE PART AND I WOULD HAVE TO TAKE IT DIRECTLY TO THE DEALER. HE SAID THE PART IS $780 AND DOES NOT INCLUDE LABOR! I CANNOT AFFORD THIS AND I NEED THIS VEHICLE! I HAVE THREE KIDS! I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND SAW THAT THIS PART ON MY VAN WAS A PART OF A LAWSUIT. WHEN THEY SETTLED THE LAWSUIT, THEY DID NOT INCLUDE THE 2008 GRAND CARAVAN. THIS IS THE SAME EXACT FAULTY PART THAT IS IN THE OTHER VEHICLES THAT ARE COVERED BY THE LAWSUIT/RECALL! THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO REASON I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR ANY OF THIS.

HEADLAMP LIGHTING WILL GO OUT AT HIGH RATES OF SPEED AND OR NOT PROPERLY OPERATE AT ALL.

CAR DIES WITHOUT WARNING. ACCELERATION, STEERING AND BRAKING COMPROMISED AND DANGEROUS. HAPPENS RANDOMLY, WHEN STOPPING, WHEN ACCELERATING WHEN CRUISING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. ENGINE HOT AND COLD. NEW IGNITION INSTALLED AS PART OF RECALL PROGRAM AND THE PROBLEM HAS GOTTEN WORSE SINCE THE "FIX".

SEPT 2015-MY ENGINE SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING AT 25MPH AND THE HORN AND WIPERS WENT CRAZY. I WAS ABLE TO PULL CAR TO SIDE OF ROAD SAFELY. FEB 2016- TOOK VAN IN FOR RECALL FOR NEW KEY FAB. THE FOLLOWING WEEK THE CAR WENT CRAZY WHEN I PUSHED UNLOCK BUTTON TO GET INTO THE VEHICLE USING THE NEW KEY FAB. HORN WENT OFF, WIPERS SQUIRTING FLUID AND DOORS LOCKED ON ME EXCEPT FOR THE REAR HATCH. TOOK INTO DEALER THEY CHANGED THE CLOCK SPRING. MARCH 2016- VEHICLE WENT CRAZY AGAIN (HORN, WIPERS, DOORS) I GOT INTO VEHICLE THROUGH REAR HATCH, UNLOCKED HOOD, TURNED KEY TO START TO SEE IF I COULD UNLOCK, CAR STARTED. I TRIED TO TURN OFF AND ENGINE KEPT GOING WITHOUT KEY IN IGNITION. I GOT OUT DISCONNECTED BATTERY CABLE AND THE VEHICLE. WAS STILL GOING CRAZY AND THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES. I TOOK VEHICLE INTO DEALER THEY FIRST STATED IT NEEDED NEW BATTERY CABLES.. I TOLD THEM THAT WILL NOT FIX THE ISSUE.. IT IS MORE THAN THAT. KEEP THE VEHICLE UNTIL YOU FIND THE REAL SOLUTION. NOW THE DEALERSHIP IS TELLING ME IT IS THE INTEGRATED POWER MODULE ($950) ON TOP ON THE CLOCK SPRING THAT THEY REPLACED FOR ($550). I FEEL LIKE THE DEALERSHIP IS JUST REACHING FOR SOLUTIONS AND ION THE MEANTIME I HAVE TO KEEP PAYING FOR THEIR TESTING.

THE VAN ENGINE SHUTS DOWN WHILE IN DRIVE. THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES WITH IN A WEEK. IT HAS SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY AT AN INTERSECTION. EVEN THE HAZARDS WOULD NOT COME ON TO SHOW OTHER DRIVERS THAT I WAS BROKE DOWN. I RECEIVED A NOTICE LAST YEAR ABOUT A RECALL FOR THE IGNITION MODULE AND I WAS PUT AN A LONG WAIT LIST TO HAVE IT FIXED. ON JANUARY 3, 2016 I HAD THE RECALL TAKEN CARE OF AT SHERWOOD SERVICE IN SALISBURY, MD. I HAVE NEVER HAD THE ENGINE FAILURE HAPPEN BEFORE HAVING THE RECALL FIXED, AND NOW, IT IS HAPPENING. WHEN THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN THE LAST TIME, MY HUSBAND WHO WAS DRIVING HAD TO CALL THE POLICE TO DIRECT TRAFFIC AROUND THE VAN UNTIL THE TOW TRUCK GOT THERE SO HE WOULD NOT BE HIT! IT BLOCKED AN INTERSECTION FOR 30 MINUTES UNTIL THE VAN WAS TOWED AWAY, WHEN THE VAN GOT HOME ON THE TOW TRUCK, IT STARTED UP WITH NO PROBLEM. EVERY TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED, THE VAN HAS BEEN IN GEAR AND DRIVING WHEN IT COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN AND IT HAS EITHER GONE OVER A SMALL BUMP OR BEEN TURNING. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO ADD THAT I HAD AN APPOINTMENT WITH SHERWOOD CHRYSLER IN SALISBURY, MD TODAY(3/22/21) AND THEY SAID THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH MY VAN AND TRIED SEND MY HUSBAND HOME IN THE VAN WITHOUT FIXING THE PROBLEM! HE INSISTED THAT THEY DRIVE IT (WHICH THEY WOULD NOT DO TODAY) TO SEE IF IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THEY STILL HAVE MY VAN.

WHILE IN MOTION, THE VAN WILL COMPLETELY LOSE POWER FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THERE ARE NO WARNINGS, STRANGE SOUNDS OR ANY INDICATOR THAT IT IS ABOUT TO SHUT OFF. THE CAR JUST SHUTS OFF--THE POWER STEERING IS GONE, I CAN'T ACCELERATE OR KEEP MOVING AT CONSTANT SPEED. THE CAR IS COMPLETELY OFF AND CONTROL IS BARELY POSSIBLE. IT CAN HAPPEN ANYWHERE, INCLUDING AT STOP SIGNS, DRIVING ALONG THE ROAD, THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION, WHICH MAKES IT A SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE. ONCE IT IS IN PARK, IT CAN BE RESTARTED, USUALLY AIDED BY PUMPING THE GAS, AND THEN IT GOES ON AS IF NOTHING HAPPENED. HOWEVER, SHIFTING INTO PARK ISN'T ALWAYS AN OPTION WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DOES NOT COME ON, SO NO ERROR CODE IS PRODUCED. IT HAS BEEN TAKEN TO A DEALERSHIP SERVICE CENTER TWICE, BUT THE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT AND CANNOT BE DUPLICATED EASILY, SO THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO FIX, TELL US NOTHING IS WRONG AND SEND US ON OUR WAY. IT IS ALARMING THAT THEY DON'T GIVE MORE URGENCY TO FINDING A SOURCE, CONSIDERING THAT THE CAR TURNS OFF WHILE DRIVING. OUR IGNITION SWITCH/KEY HAVE BEEN REPLACED AFTER THE RECALL, WHICH WE WERE HOPING WAS THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM, BUT IT WAS NOT. IT IS STILL OCCURRING. I HAVE DONE AN INTERNET SEARCH AND IT SEEMS THAT THIS PROBLEM IS NOT UNIQUE TO ME. OTHER DRIVERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE. MINIVANS OFTEN CARRY CHILDREN IN THEM. IF THIS PROBLEM WERE TO OCCUR IN A BUSY INTERSECTION, THE RESULTS COULD BE DEVASTATING. I URGE YOU TO S

WHILE DRIVING THE VAN SHUTS OFF AND LOOSES ALL POWER TO INCLUDE POWER BRAKES AND STEERING. ALSO THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON. THE FOLLOWING HAS BEEN COMPLETED TO FIX THE PROBLEM WITHOUT THE PROBLEM BEING RESOLVED: REPLACEMENT OF BATTERY AND CHECK OF BATTERY CABLES, RECALL COMPLETE OF WIN MODULE, REPLACEMENT OF O2 SENSORS AND EGR VALVE, AND CHECK OF ALL FUSES AND WIRING. AFTER ALL OF THE AFOREMENTIONED REPAIRS THE VAN STILL SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. WHEN THE VAN SHUTS OFF THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DOES NOT COME ON AND THERE ARE NO CODES PRESENT FOR THE MECHANIC TO DIAGNOSE PROBLEM. THIS ISSUE IS AN EXTREME SAFETY ISSUE AND IT APPEARS THERE ARE NUMEROUS REPORTS I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO LOCATE ON THE INTERNET. MY WIFE WILL NOT DRIVE THE VAN NOT BECAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. WHEN THE VAN SHUTS OFF YOU CAN PLACE IT IN PARK AND RESTART THE VAN AND CONTINUE TO DRIVE. THE VAN HAS SHUT OFF ON ME WHILE I HAVE BEEN DRIVING IT AND THERE DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE ANY INDICATOR THAT IT IS GOING TO SHUT DOWN, IE STUTTERING OR IRREGULAR OPERATION. THE SPEED THAT THE ISSUE HAS OCCURRED RANGES FROM 20 MPH TO 55 MPH.

VEHICLE AUTOMATICALLY DOWNSHIFTS FROM DRIVE TO 2ND GEAR ABOVE 35 MPH AND FROM DRIVE TO 1ST GEAR BELOW 35 MPH. CAUSING DANGEROUS DECELERATION. THIS IS NOT A ONCE IN A WHILE SITUATION BUT HAPPENS CONSTANTLY. ONCE YOU START THE CAR AND SHIFT FROM PARK TO DRIVE, IT WILL SHIFT DOWN WHILE STOPPED OR AS DESCRIBED ABOVE WITHIN TEN SECONDS. DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITIONS. CHRYSLER SAYS NOT COVERED BY LIFETIME POWERTRAIN WARRANTY AND SAY IT CAN BE FIXED AT MY EXPENSE. UNFORTUNATELY, IT CAN HAPPEN ANYTIME TO ANYONE AND SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL ON ALL VEHICLES SIMILARLY EQUIPPED.

ALL THE ELECTRONICS IN MY CAR STARTED GOING CRAZY. MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS (BOTH FWD AND AFT) STARTED, WHILE THE WASHER FLUID WAS BEING DISPENSED, THE CAR HORN WAS BLARING, AND THE ELECTRONIC DOOR LOCKS WERE VERY RAPIDLY BEING CYCLED. WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE CAR STALLED. LUCKILY, I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITHOUT BEING HIT OR CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. THE DODGE DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED IT AS A BAD TOTALLY INTERGRATED POWER MODULE (TIPM) AND REPLACED IT. APPARENTLY, IT DISTRIBUTES ELECTRICAL POWER TO ALL THE SYSTEMS IN THE VEHICLE. SO, WHEN THE CAR STALLED IT WAS DUE TO POWER BEING CUT OFF TO THE FUEL PUMP. I COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN KILLED, DUE TO THE SUDDEN LOSS OF ENGINE POWER OR ANOTHER ELECTRICAL COMPONENT SUCH AS THE AIR BAG, BRAKE, OR TRACTION SYSTEM COULD HAVE BEEN AFFECTED.
