2009 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.

In a letter dated August 21, 2014, the Center for Auto Safety (CAS) petitioned the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to initiate a defect investigation of alleged failures associated with the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) installed in Chrysler SUV?s, trucks, and vans beginning in the 2007 model year. The petitioner alleges that TIPM defects may result in engine stall, airbag non-deployment, failure of fuel pump shutoff resulting in unintended acceleration, fire, and other symptoms. On September 25, 2014, the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened DP14-004 …

In March 2011 Chrysler submitted a defect information report for NHTSA Recall No. 11V139 declaring a defect condition that could cause the ignition key to inadvertently move from the RUN to the ACC position on model year (MY) 2010 Dodge Journey, Grand Caravan, and Chrysler Town and Country.The report identified engine stalling as the defect consequence and cited customer complaints and warranty claims, as well as two rear-end collisions, as leading to the recall action.Chrysler determined that a defective WIN module, which is effectively the equivalent of the ignition switch, was the cause of …

Expansion of previous safety recall L25.

Flash: Dead Battery This Bulletin involves updating the Fold and Stow Module (FSM) with new software because the FSM stays awake resulting in a continuous electrical draw. The customer may experience a dead battery.

While driving, the engine shuts off, leaving the driver with no power steering or power brakes. All power is off. There is no warning or error messages on the dash of any kind. No warning at all. The last time this happened, I was able to coast to the side of the road to a stop. Once stopped, i can put the transmission in Park, restart the vehicle and continue. This time, I drove directly to my service shop to have the computer checked for codes. There were none, like the event never happened. They could not reproduce the problem. This has happened 3 times since August 2025. The wireless ignition module was replaced in 2015 under the recall notice 14V373000. That recall was for exactly this situation. So far, I have been fortunate to avoid hitting another vehicle or other objects. This is not a safe situation, especially knowing it might happen tomorrow.

In August 2024, the airbag system in a 2009 Dodge Grand Caravan (VIN: [XXX] ) deployed unexpectedly while the vehicle was parked and not in operation. There was no collision, impact, or known external trigger at the time of deployment. The malfunction involved the airbag restraint system and/or related electrical or control components. An unexpected airbag deployment creates a serious safety concern because it could injure vehicle occupants or bystanders and indicates a potential defect in the restraint system. The vehicle was immediately taken to Banister Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Hampton, Virginia, where it has remained since the incident. To the best of our knowledge, the vehicle has remained in dealership/manufacturer custody and should be available for inspection. The manufacturer indicated they were reviewing the matter and determining the value of the vehicle; however, despite extended time passing, no repair, replacement, or written resolution has been provided. The issue has not been reproduced because the vehicle has remained out of service since the incident. It is UNKNOWN whether the precise cause has been formally confirmed by the manufacturer or dealership. No injuries occurred, but the incident placed the safety of the owners and others at risk because a critical safety restraint system deployed without warning while the vehicle was stationary. Documented NHTSA recalls affecting Dodge Grand Caravan airbag systems and related models demonstrate prior manufactur

Car will crank but not start. Can cannot be started intermittently which could be dangerous considering location of vehicle, adverse weather conditions, etc. There are no warning lamps or messages related to the problem. This is a known problem with other Chrysler models and model years. TIMP fuel pump relay has failed. Bypassing the fuel pump relay will allow car to start. See attached file of Vertical Vissions' bypass solutions to this problem.

While driving on major (multi-lane) city street (40 mph) the vehicle began to slow, steering became difficult and a single amber caution for the traction control was illuminated. Tachometer indicated 0 RPM. After pulling over, the vehicle was restarted and driven without further issue. Recall on the ignition switch was addressed in 2009. Unexpected engine shutdown could have significantly reduced safety margins in heavy traffic. No third party inspected vehicle after incident. Owner notes that key fob does not have anything hanging of it that could aggravate unwanted movement of ignition switch

I had a flat tire (drivers front). I Parked on a level parking lot. I put bricks behind other tires to prevent movement. Next I loosened lug nuts, I then removed the spare and original equipment jack. I began jacking the car up with the jack in the area indicated for jacking by the instructions. The tire was off the ground. I was beginning to spin off the lug nuts when the car dropped with a brrrrrt sound. The main screw in the scissors jack pulled through the threaded nut on the end. The jack was still upright but the screw threads failed. No one was hurt but the potential is high for the jack to fail suddenly and without warning. Note the van was not occupied or in any way loaded. The second picture attempts to show the screw threads deformed after pulling through the nut.

The contact owns a 2009 Dodge Grand Caravan. The contact stated that while parked with the keys out of the ignition, the contact heard a loud pop coming from the passenger’s side of the vehicle. The contact stated that the driver’s and passenger’s side deployed without impact. The dealer was contacted and advised the contact to inform the manufacturer of the failure. The vehicle was towed to the dealer who had not diagnosed or repaired the vehicle. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and opened a case. The contact stated that the vehicle was not inspected. The approximate failure mileage was 160,000.

It started out as the van would not start almost everytime I got ready to leave and would have someone jump my battery, and it would start right back up. after a few weeks of having to do this, i had help jumping my battery once again but this time my wind shield wipers wouldnt shut off resulting in me having to take the fuse out and back in when it rains. when this happened the what i believe is called the "multi functional shift " (the stick on the left side of steering wheel that controls my wipers, wiper fluid, turn signals, bright lights, etc.) completely stopped working with no sign of it having problems previously. Along with that the stereo keeps flickering and switching channels on its own. Lastly, when i am pumping gas, i can barely pull up the trigger without the pump shutting off like as if my tank was full. This has all happened in the last 6 or 7 months or so and has not yet been investigated.

Key stuck in the ignition does not turn properly

Key in into slips from run to accsry and causes van to stall. Has happened a few times. Very dangerous to have van stall while driving

On 10 October 2022 @ 21:05 hours, I was driving home (to Waconia) from Academy College (Bloomington, MN). Upon entering I35 W North entrance ramp, I had engaged my left turn signal; looking in my driver-side mirror as I merged, I seen the headlights behind me & proceeded to accelerate on the freeway. I was partially in the lane when I heard a horn & wheels screeching to my left. I was close enough to the shoulder & quickly turned sharp then the vehicle blew by me, barely colliding with my vehicle. (I stayed steady & did box breathing as I tried to calm myself). The next day I was driving my van and when I used my left turn signal, I noticed on my instrument panel it was not reflecting my turn signal light, so when I had the near collision the night before, they did not see my turn signal light! The electrical problem with this 2009 Dodge Grand Caravan while driving; at 4-7 minute intervals, this happens while driving; headlights; wipers all instrument panel lights come on; chime rings all at the same time! Days before the near collision, I brought my van in to the mechanics shop and told the owner what was happening. He knew right away that it was the TIP Module needs replacement, due to corrosion under the fuse panel. He sends customers to the Chrysler dealer, which costs $3000 to install & there is a waiting period for the part.(had put $1900 into the ATV-multi vehicle reseal side cover; oil pan gasket & water pump; l/r & r/r calipers; brake fluid; engine coolant/conditione

225/65 R 16 100 My van is available for inspection; the left front driver’s-side tire was repaired (under warranty) on 6 August 2022; a plug was installed to repair a ticking sound, which ended up being a nail imbedded in the tire. Once on the road again, I still heard an annoying sound( I realized the mechanic may not have cut the plug flush). I intended to go back to have them cut it off, but forgot due to my recent part-time work activities & starting College at night.(as well as getting Covid on 28 September 2022. I was scheduled to work at Davanni’s on 21 October 2022. I got into work around 12:33. I use an App on my phone to deliver pizza’ & hoagies. I took a large order around 15:30. I was nervous driving, because my van(previously reported on this site)was having the electrical issues, even when I put my vehicle in park. I messaged my customer when I was 2-3 minutes away(I was extra cautious because my signals wouldn’t show drivers behind me that I was turning, so my 1st text would usually be at a semi-fore, then when I park in driveway, I send a text I am there. The customer had a pretty high incline when I parked. After sending the text I proceeded to exit my vehicle. (my phone was in my right hand). I stepped out with my left foot, then the right; I was fully standing when all of a sudden I felt my door pushing on my left side, I braced my left arm, looked down & noticed the van was rolling back. I felt the tire start to hit my toe then instantly brought my right f

While driving all electrical systems fail, warning lights flash on and off, power steering and brakes fail, all lights go out. If I do not pull over and turn the car off as soon as it starts, I will stall out in the middle of the road. This has been happening for months and every mechanic I take my car to states everything tests fine.

While driving all electrical systems fail, warning lights flash on and off, power steering and brakes fail, all lights go out. Can shift to neutral and restart, drive on until it repeats.

Parked vehicle and put gear in park.Vehicle rolled down hill through chain link fence and did front end damage. No person was inside vehicle at time it rolled off.

The contact owns a 2009 Dodge Grand Caravan. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked at his residence, a fire started from the drivers side tail light. The tail light, the rear bumper, and part of the rear seat were melted, additionally the rear windshield shattered. The fire department was called and they extinguished the fire using chemical powder and water. The fire marshal wrote an incident report. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact did not take the vehicle to a local dealer to be diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 95,000.

THE WINDOW TRACK BROKE ON THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW. THE MOTOR WAS GOOD BECAUSE IT STILL WORKED TO ROLLS DOWN ALL WINDOWS EXCEPT THE WING WINDOWS! SO WE REPLACE THE TRACK GOT IT ALL IN EVERY WINDOW WORKED EXCEPT THE WING WINDOWS AGAIN! THEN IT BROKE 2 WEEKS LATER AGAIN SO WE BOUGHT THE WHOLE SET UP FOR DRIVER WINDOW TRACK & MOTOR, SILL WING WINDOWS WON'T WORK AND THE TRACK ON THE DRIVER WINDOW BROKE LESS THAN A WEEK AFTER PUTTING IT IN! NOW I HAVE WOOD HOLDING THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW UP AND MY WING WINDOWS STILL WON'T OPEN! I'M NOT SURE SPECIFIC DATES SO I'M GONNA GUESS BELOW I CAN GET RECORD FROM AUTOZONE TO PROVE I'VE BOUGHT THE PARTS 2 TIMES!

I WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 30 MPH ON A TOWN ROAD AND THE CAR RANDOMLY SHUT OFF. THERE WAS A TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT THAT CAME ON. ALL ELECTRICAL STILL WORKED BUT NO ACCELERATION, POWER STEERING OR POWER BRAKES. I HAD TO SLOW DOWN, PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND RESTART THE CAR. WHAT IF I WAS ON THE HIGH WAY? WHAT IF I WAS CROSSING AN INTERSECTION? MY WIFE DRIVES MY 3 CHILDREN AROUND IN THIS CAR. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES THIS PAST WEEK. NEVER DID IT BEFORE. AND I'VE ALREADY HAD THE IGNITION SWITCH REPLACED THAT DODGE SENT OUT A RECALL FOR.

THERE IS A LEAK IN THE HEATING COOLANT HOSE. THIS MAKES A TOXIC SMELL INSIDE THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING.

AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON WHEN STARTED VEHICLE AND NEVER TURNED OFF. TOOK IT IN TO DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT WAS MY BATTERY CAUSING THE LIGHT. REPLACED THE BATTERY AND THEY RE-DID THE DIAGNOSTIC AND THEY TOLD ME THE ORC MODULE IS BAD DUE TO THE BATTERY. THEY SAID MY BATTERY WAS CHARGING TO 1000 VOLTS AND WAS ONLY SUPPOSED TO BE 800VOLTS. SO NOW I AM STUCK WITH A BILL FOR $631. I WAS TOLD THAT THE SAME YEAR MODEL HAD A RECALL FOR THIS REASON AND MINE DIDN'T QUALIFY BECAUSE IT WAS MADE 23 DAYS AFTER THE RECAL NOTICE S07. THE VAN IS IN THE SHOP CURRENTLY WAITING ON THE PART.

THE WIN MODULE WAS REPLACED UNDER A SAFETY RECALL IN 2017 FOR ABRUPTLY SHUTTING DOWN THE ENGINE WHILE DRIVING. THE MODULE WORKED FINE UNTIL THIS MONTH, THE CAR SUDDENLY DIED TWICE IN THE SPACE OF APPROXIMATELY TWO MILES. I WAS ABLE TO START IT AND IT DID NOT FAIL AGAIN ON THE WAY TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS. THE DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS THE WIN MODULE AND REPLACED IT FOR $582. I REQUESTED IT BE COVERED UNDER THE RECALL AND WAS TOLD CHRYSLER WOULD NOT HONOR IT A SECOND TIME. I CONTACTED CHRYSLERS CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WAS TOLD THE RECALL REPLACEMENT PART HAD A 2 YEAR WARRANTY AND THAT THEY WOULD NOT COVER REPLACEMENT. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE ORIGINAL DEFECT IS STILL IN THE MODULE OR THERE IS ANOTHER NEW DEFECT IN THE MODULE. IN ANY EVENT THE PROBLEM OF UNEXPECTED SHUTDOWN OF THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING STILL EXISTS. I WOULD HOPE YOU COULD SHOW CHRYSLER THE WISDOM IN FIXING THIS ISSUE AND MAKING THEIR CUSTOMERS WHOLE.

AT APPROX 182000 MILES THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM CONTROLLING MY DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHTS,SPEEDOMETER,TACHOMETER,WIPERS,LIGHTS AND SWITCHES FOR POWER WINDOWS AND LOCKS WENT COMPLETELY HAYWIRE. THIS HAPPENED WITHOUT WARNING UPON STARTING VEHICLE. AT THE MOMENT OF START UP WIPERS BEGAN TO SWIPE WITHOUT TURNING ON SWITCH, HEADLIGHTS BEGAN TO FLASH AND ALL WARNING LIGHTS ON DASH LIT INDICATING FAILURE OF ALL SAFETY SYSTEMS. AFTER CAREFULLY DRIVING AROUND A PARKING LOT I WAS IN TO SEE IF THE VEHICLE WAS SAFE AND DRIVEABLE I THEN NOTICED THAT MY SPEEDOMETER AND TACHOMETER WOULD CYCLE ON AND OFF AT RANDOM INTERVALS.THEY WOULD INDICATE PROPER FUNCTIONING FOR MINUTES AND THEN GO COMPLETELY OFF WITH ALL WARNING LIGHTS ACTIVATING. THIS ON AND OFF SCENARIO LASTED ALL THE WAY HOME A JOURNEY OF APPROX 20 MILES. UPON REACHING HOME I ALSO FOUND THAT I COULD NO LONGER CONTROL THE ELECTRIC WINDOWS OR LOCKS FROM MY DRIVERS POSITION. I DID AN INTERNET SEARCH WHEN I GOT HOME ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND LUCKILY WAS ABLE TO FIND A YOUTUBE VIDEO FROM AN OWNER OF A 2008 CHRYSLER TOWN&COUNTRY MINIVAN SIMILAR TO MINE WHO HAD ENCOUNTERED THE SAME SAFETY ISSUE. APPARENTLY THIS OWNER HAD DONE SOME INVESTIGATING OF THEIR OWN AND FOUND THAT A WIRE COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT INTO THE DRIVERS DOOR EITHER BREAKS OVER TIME FROM OPENING AND CLOSING OF DOOR OVER THE YEARS, OR A WIRE CHAFES AND SHORTS OUT INTERMITTENTLY THUS CAUSING THIS ISSUE. IN ORDER TO FIX THIS PROBLEM THE DRIVER SIDE INTERIOR DOOR SKIN MUST BE RE

NOW IT'S SITTING.... I REFUSE TO PUT OUR LIVES AND OTHERS LIVES IN DANGER JUST TO GET AROUND COMFORTABLY. WE CALLED DODGE CUSTOMER CARE ON 03/11/20 AND WAS TOLD TO TAKE IT TO A LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP TO ENSURE THE VEHICLE DOESN'T NEED REPAIRS DUE TO ANY PRIOR RECALLS IT MAY NOT HAVE RECEIVED. WE ARE DOING THAT TODAY... THOUGH WE HAVEN'T TAKEN THE VAN TO DODGE... I CAN'T HELP BUT LOSE HOPE IN KNOWING THAT THIS DEADLY ISSUE WILL BE RESOLVED, DUE TO ALL THE OTHER THREADS IV'E READ NOT ONLY ON THIS SITE BUT OTHER SITES AS WELL... HAVING THE SAME ISSUE...

MY VAN STALLS WHEN DECELERATING FROM HIGHWAY SPEED TO OFF RAMP YIELD. I HAVE TAKEN TO MECHANICS AND DEALER AND SPENT TOO MUCH MONEY ON NOT GETTING THE PROBLEM FIXED. I DID SOME RESEARCHED AND NOTICED ON THE FORUMS THAT THIS IS AN EXISTING PROBLEM THAT HAS NOT RESULTING IN A VEHICLE RECALL . THE PROBLEM LOOKS LIKE IT HAS TO DO WITH THE TIPM FUEL RELAY. MY VAN ONLY HAS 142,000 MILES ON IT , THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE HANDLED BY THE AUTO MAKER, NOT HAVING CUSTOMERS SPEND NEEDLESS MONEY ON DEALER RECOMMENDED FIXES THAT DO NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I JUST SPENT OVER 700 TO HAVE DEALER RECOMMENDED REPAIRS OF THROTTLE BODY SERVICE AND TUNE UP AND THIS DID NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE. WHY IS IT THAT AS A CONSUMER I NEED TO DO MY OWN DIAGNOSIS WHEN PROBLEM HAPPENED JUST THIS PAST WEEKEND AFTER DEALER RECOMMENDED SOLUTIONS DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM!

NOTHING.. JUST WAITING FOR THIS HAPPENING AGAIN....

I BOUGHT THE VAN USED AND THE DRIVERS SIDE PASSENGER DOOR WILL NOT CLOSE ON ITS OWN I HAVE TO FORCE IT SHUT OR LEAVE THE AUTOMATIC BUTTON OFF AND THERE ARE TIME IT STICKS AS I AM TRYING TO OPEN IT I HAVE SMALL CHILDREN IN THIS VEHICLE AT ALL TIMES.

SLIDING DOOR WILL NOT CLOSE AT TIMES WITHOUT HAVING TO FORCE IT TO CLOSE. NOT SURE IF THE SENOR HAS BEEN AFFECTED, THERE IS NOTHING BY THE DOOR WHEN THIS HAPPENS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V373000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, AIR BAGS), IT HESITATED TO START AND ALL THE ELECTRICAL FUNCTIONS FAILED. IT TOOK NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS TO START THE VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. GOLDY CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (187 KINETIC DR, HUNTINGTON, WV 25701, (304) 781-0555) PERFORMED THE RECALL REPAIR, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED A SECOND TIME. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 128,000.

SLIDING DOORS HAVE HAD NUMEROUS ISSUES THAT CAUSE THE DOORS TO LOCK UP AND FAIL. I HAVE HAD 3 ISSUES IN UNDER 5 YEARS WITH BOTH SLIDING DOORS LOCKING UP AND FAILING REQUIRING ELECTRICAL WORK TO BE DONE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. MY VEHICLE HAS JUST ABOUT 50K MILES AND HAS HAD 3 FAILURES WITH THE DOOR LATCHES NOT OPENING. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT AS A SEVERE ISSUE IN CASES OF SAFETY BECAUSE BOTH MY DOORS DO NOT OPEN AND THIS VEHICLE IS GENTLY USED FOR A 10 YEAR OLD VEHICLE. ANOTHER ISSUE WITH THE SLIDING DOOR IS THE HARNESSES THAT ARE INSTALLED FROM THE FACTORY. THEY FAIL AND THE WIRING BREAKS OVER 1 TO 2 YEARS. THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT HAPPENS WAY TO OFTEN.

DMV INSPECTION 2/22/2019 10V-235 K14 SAFETY POWER SLIDING DOOR (10/2018) 14V-373 R03 SAFETY WIRELESS IGNITION NODE MODULE (2/2019)

FRONT RIGHT STRUT SPRING BREAKING AT THE UPPER TIP 2-3 INCHES. THIS IS THE 3RD OF OUR GRAND CARAVANS THAT THIS BREAK HAS HAPPENED TO IN THE EXACT SAME SPOT. IT'S HARD TO SEE SO YOU HAVE TO LOOK CLOSELY AT THE VERY TIP OR IT WON'T BE NOTICED.

THE AIR FLOW DOESN'T WORK PROPERLY. NO MATTER WHAT BUTTON I PUSH THE AIR FLOW IS STUCK ON THE FACE AND THE AIR ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE BLOWS OUT HOT AND THE AIR ON THE PASSENGER'S SIDE BLOWS OUT COLD. BECAUSE OF THIS, THE DEFROSTER DOESN'T WORK. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE IMPAIRING VISIBILITY AND "VERY" DANGEROUS DURING BAD WEATHER.

WHEN I PUT MY VAN IN REVERSE 3 DIFFERENT TIMES THIS PAST WEEKEND, AND IN THE PROCESS OF BACKING UP SLOWLY IT SHUT OFF. TWICE I WAS BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY, & IT SHUT OFF IN THE TOWN ROAD. I HAD TO RESTART IT AND CONTINUE BACKING UP. ANOTHER TIME I WAS TURNING OUT OF A PLAZA, WHERE I HAD TO TURN, AND WHEN I BACKED UP IT SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF A TOWN ROAD. TRAFFIC STOPPED, FOR ME TO RESTART IT AND BACK UP. ON TUESDAY 10/23/18, I TRIED BACKING IT OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY TO BRING IT FOR SERVICE. THE RPM'S WENT HIGH, IT WASN'T MOVING, AND WAS SHAKING. I SHUT IF IT OFF AND HAD IT TOWED TO THE GARAGE. THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM IS UNKNOWN. IT IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE, AND I DIDN'T SEE ANY RECALLS FOR IT ONLINE, AND THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR THE UNSAFE CONDITION! I SAW HUNDREDS OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS FOR DODGE CARAVANS SHUTTING OFF.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS FUNCTIONED INDEPENDENTLY AND ALL THE WARNING INDICATORS STARTED TO FLICKER ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND POWERED OFF THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 175,000.

THE AC DRAIN LEAKS WATER UNDER THE DASH WHEN THE AC IS ON AND MAY AFFECT THE AIR BAG WIRING OR OTHER ELECTRICAL FUNCTIONS. THIS PROBLEM WAS IDENTIFIED IN 2011, BULLETIN K31, BUT MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. I HAVE THE SAME MAKE, MODEL, YEAR AND PROBLEM AS THE RECALLED CARS. WHY IS MY CAR NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL?? I HAVE STRUGGLED WITH THIS RECURRING ISSUE SINCE 2014!!!
