2009 Dodge Grand Caravan complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE CONTACT SMELLED AN ABNORMAL ODOR AND NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM THE AUTOMATIC WINDOW BUTTONS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER'S DOOR CAUGHT ON FIRE AND WAS EXTINGUISHED BY THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. NEITHER A FIRE NOR A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT INDICATED THAT IT WAS AN ELECTRICAL FIRE. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 200,000.

THE AIRBAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED, SIMILAR TO THE PROBLEM WITH EXISTING RECALLS ON EARLIER MODEL DODGE GRAND CARAVANS

WATER LEAKS FROM THE AC UNDER THE PASSENGER DASH. OTHER RECALLS SITE THE AC DRAIN AND POSSIBLE EFFECT ON A AIRBAG SENSOR. MY CAR HAS THE SAME PROBLEM BUT APPEARS TO HAVE NO RECALL. IS THERE A RECALL AND IF NOT WHY? THIS LEAK HAPPENS WHENEVER THE AC IS RUN FOR MORE THAN A FEW MINUTES. THE DEALER ONCE CLEANED THE DRAIN BUT SAID THERE WAS NO RECAL. THE PROBLEM HAS NOW RETURNED.

IT SAID THAT MY GRAND CARAVAN DID NOT HAVE AN OPEN RECALL FOR THE KEY & IGNITION CYLINDER, AND THE VEHICLE KEEPS TELLING US THAT I HAVE A BAD KEY AND THE VEHICLE WONT START AT TIMES CAN YOU CHECK INTO THIS

THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD SEVERAL ELECTRICAL COMPONENT FAILURES THAT WERE PREMATURE AND UNEXPLAINED. COMPUTER MODULE REPLACED TWICE, SENSORS REPLACED BEFORE THEY SHOULD HAVE GONE BAD. WE ALSO WERE EXPERIENCING SMALL ELECTRICAL ISSUES ALL OVER THE VEHICLE, PROBLEMS WITH WINDOWS, SLIDE DOORS, ACCESSORIES, RADIO ETC. AFTER INSPECTION OF THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM A PROBLEM WAS OBSERVED WITH TWO OF THE MAIN WIRING HARNESSES FOR ENGINE COMPONENTS, ONE WAS ROUTED OVER THE TOP OF THE RADIATOR HOSE WHERE IT ATTACHES TO THE TOP OF THE MOTOR ALLOWING EXCESSIVE HEAT TO MELT THE WIRE PROTECTION SLEEVES AND WIRE COATING WHICH CAUSED CONTACT OF WIRES EXPOSED. ANOTHER SECTION OF WIRING ROUTED DOWN FROM THE MAIN FUSE BOX AND RESTED ON TOP OF THE TRANSMISSION COVER RESULTING IN OVERHEATING OF THE WIRES. THESE TWO ISSUES CAUSED EXCESSIVE HEATING OF THE WIRING TO EFFECT THE CURRENT FLOW TO AND FROM THE MAIN WIRE PORT FOR ALL ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS OF THE VEHICLE AND RESULTED IN SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONS EVERYWHERE. THIS IS A POOR DESIGN BY THE MANUFACTURER AND A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN. I WOULD WANT ANYONE WITH THE SAME VEHICLE TO KNOW THIS IS PROBABLY THE RESULT OF NUMEROUS ELECTRICAL COMPONENT FAILURES OR PROBLEMS THEY ARE EXPERIENCING THAT MAY LEAD TO EXCESSIVE REPAIRS THAT ARE NOT NECESSARY IF THE WIRING IS ROUTED IN A BETTER WAY TO AVOID OVERHEATING.

FRONT BRAKES STICK. HAVE REPLACED PADS, HOSES AND CALIPERS TO NO AVAIL.

THE OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROLLER HAS FAILED. I WAS WONDERING, EVEN THOUGH MY VIN IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL WOULD I STILL BE ELIGIBLE TO GET THIS REPAIRED UNDER THE RECALL?

VALVE STEM BROKE WHEN REMOVING CAP TO CHECK PRESSURE

THIS IS THE 2ND OF OUR 2009 GRAND CARAVANS WITH THE SAME FAILURE IN THE EXACT SAME LOCATION. PASS SIDE STRUT SPRING BROKE OFF AT THE UPPER END ABOUT 2-3 INCHES OFF THE TIP. VERY HARD TO SPOT SO LOOK CLOSELY. 1ST ONE WAS CAUGHT ON A STATE INSPECTION AND THIS ONE WAS CAUGHT DURING ROUTINE PM. IS THIS A COMMON PROBLEM?

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD ON A SHALLOW LEFT-HAND CURVE WHEN I TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE RIGHT, COMING OUT OF THE CURVE, ALL THE SUDDEN THE LEFT FRONT BRAKE (LFB) BEGAN TO CHATTER AS THOUGH THE LFB ABS WAS ENGAGING. THE ESP BAS AND THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS CAME ON. THE VAN VIOLENTLY SWERVED TOWARDS THE ONCOMING LANE. LUCKLY, THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC COME AT ME. I WAS ABLE TO OVER CORRECT WITH THE STEERING AND REGAIN CONTROL. I TOOK THE VAN TO A LOCAL SHOP WHICH DIAGNOSED THE STEERING POSITION SENSOR INSIDE THE AIR BAG CLOCKSPRING TO BE BAD. IT WAS REPLACED AND THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY. I FEEL THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED WITH A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED!

- ON 12/01/2017 THE AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD IS LIT. I NOTICED THE AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT WHEN I TURNED THE CAR ON. - ON 12/28/2017 THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW STOPPED WORKING. IT STOPPED WORKING WHEN I TURNED THE CAR ON AND ATTEMPTED TO PUT THE WINDOW DOWN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN EQUIPPED WITH UNIROYAL TIRES, SIZE: 225/65R16 (NA). WHILE DRIVING, THE TIRE SENSOR WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND, UPON INSPECTING THE VEHICLE, DISCOVERED THAT THE REAR PASSENGER TIRE WAS FLAT. THE CONTACT REPLACED THE FLAT TIRE WITH THE SPARE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO OURISMAN CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (12430 AUTO DR, CLARKSVILLE, MD 21029 (301) 596-9990) WHERE THE REAR PASSENGER TIRE WAS REPLACED. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A PRESSURE MONITOR SYSTEM AND A TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR FAILURE IN THE REAR. ALSO, THE NUT VALVE STINT WAS CORRODED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SENSOR WAS REPLACED FIVE TIMES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE DOT NUMBER WAS UNKNOWN. THE TIRE AND VEHICLE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 81,725.

THE VEHICLE WAS STRUCK BY LIGHTNING JULY 2014 WHEN IT WAS PARKED UNDER A TREE DURING A BAD STORM. IT EVENTUALLY WAS DECLARED A TOTAL LOSS BY PROGRESSIVE INSURANCE AFTER THEY ATTEMPTED SEVERAL TIMES TO HAVE ALL THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS REPAIRED. SEVERAL TIMES THEY REPAIRED IT AND PUT ME BACK INTO THE DANGEROUS VEHICLE WHICH WAS ACCELERATING ON ITS OWN AND SEVERAL TIMES WOULD NOT BRAKE. I INSISTED THEY DECLARE IT A TOTAL LOSS BEFORE SOMETHING TERRIBLE WOULD HAPPEN. THEY FINALLY AGREED IN OCTOBER 2014. HOWEVER, MY CONCERN IS THAT I WAS TOLD THE VEHICLE WAS SOLD AT AUCTION AND THAT PUTS SOMEONE ELSE IN DANGER. THE VEHICLE SHOULD NOT OF BEEN HANDED OVER TO SOMEONE ELSE.

PASSENGER SIDE REAR DOOR ELECTRICAL HARNESS APPEARS TO HAVE SHORTED AND MELTED THE INTERIOR. SIMILAR TO 10V235000 RECALL. THIS VIN IS NOT COVERED BY THAT RECALL BUT IS FROM THE SAME YEAR. POSSIBLE CATASTROPHIC FIRE COULD RESULT IF PLASTIC REACHED SPECIFIC TEMPERATURE TO ALIGHT. BURNING PLASTIC SMELL WAS NOTED DURING 4 HOUR DRIVE. HEADACHE AND MILD NAUSEA RESULTED FROM THE SMELL. SMELL REMINDED OWNER OF BURNED WIRING IN THE LAB.

VEHICLE STALLED ON TOLL ROAD AND BYPASS. IT FINALLY DIED AND I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED. FUEL PUMP WAS REPLACED TWICE. FIRST TIME WAS $600.00. SECOND TIME, MECHANIC DID IT FOR FREE. MECHANIC BELIEVES THAT IT'S THE TIPM OR TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE.

I HAD BEEN LAUGHING WITH THE PEOPLE OF THIS SCHOOL BUS COMPANY WHICH IS CLOSE BY TO ME NAMED LORINDA BUS OR LOGAN BUS CO INC THERE AT 100 ST AND ATLANTIC AV THERE ABOUT HOW THEY EXTENDED THEIR PARKING LOT UPWARD THERE ONTO AN OLD LIRR TRACK THERE THAT HAS NOT BEEN USED AND IS ALL RUSTY WITH BROKEN CEMENT AND LIKE OTHER BROKEN AND OLD THINGS THERE AND THEY EXTENDED THE PARKING LOT FOR THEIR BUSES THERE AT 100 ST AND ATLANTIC AV THERE UPWARD TO LIKE THE TOP OF THIS LIRR TRACK THERE WHICH I FOUND TO BE AN ODD LOCATION. I MEAN SOME QUESTIONS WERE IN MY MIND LIKE COULD THE 14 BUSES OR 18 BUSES THAT THEY PUT UP THERE ON THE OLD LIRR TRACK THERE STAY UP THERE WITH ALL OF THE HUGE BUSES PARKED UP THERE ON THE TRACK THERE. NO, THE LIRR TRACK THERE IS NOT USED ANYMORE THERE BEGINNING SOUTH FROM LIKE 99 ST AND LIBERTY AVENUE THERE AND THE OLD LIRR TRACK IS MAINTAINED BY NYC DCAS OR THE MAYOR'S OFFICE THERE. LOTS OF RUSTY AND OLD AND FALLING APART THINGS THERE ON THAT RAILROAD TRACK THERE OF THE LIRR THERE. BUT WITH THE OLD LIRR TRACK THERE AT ATLANTIC AV AND 100 ST SHOULD THEY USE THAT AREA UP THERE, AS I SAW ON A GOOGLE MAP THERE TO PARK 14-18 OF THEIR BUSES. YES, THE GOOGLE MAP SHOWED THEM EXTENDING THEIR PARKING LOT TO THE TOP OF THE LIRR TRACKS THERE AND THEY COULD PARK MORE BUSES AS SHOWN ON THE GOOGLE MAP THERE. DO YOU THINK IT IS SAFE OF LORINDA OR LOGAN THERE TO PUT LIKE THOSE BUSES PARKED UP THERE ALL 14-18 OF THEM UP THERE ON THE OLD LIRR TRACK UP THERE TO BE PARKED OR NO? THE

INSTRUMENTAL CLUSTER LIGHTS TURN ON, ALL DIAL INDICATORS GO TO 0, WIPERS TURN TWICE, OUTSIDE LIGHTS TURN ON AND THEN OFF, AND WARNING BEEPS INSIDE. CAN REPEAT DIFFERENT FREQUENCY TIME, BUT USUALLY EVERY FEW SECONDS. SOME WARNING LIGHTS REMAIN ON, ESPECIALLY BRAKE WARNINGS AND AIRBAG. 2 DEALERS REVIEWED AND RECOGNIZED ISSUE BUT STATED DID NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO. RARELY, AFTER START-UP ONLY BRAKE LIGHT AND AIRBAG WARNINGS STAY ON AND NO OTHER LIGHT ISSUE. FIRST DEALER REPLACED INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND IMPROVED BY NO LEFT DIAL ISSUE, BUT WARNING LIGHTS STILL OCCUR. ALL WARNING LIGHTS, CENTER DIAL, AND RIGHT DIAL, LIGHTS, AND WIPER ISSUES STILL OCCUR. DEALER CHECKED AND NOTED PROGRAMMING ISSUE BUT INFORMED NOTHING CAN DO. NOW OCCURS MORE OFTEN. ALL BRAKE WARNING LIGHTS NOW ALWAYS SHOW AFTER BEGINNING TO DRIVE. THEN ALL OTHER WARNING LIGHTS, AND SO ON, BEGIN AS NOTED. RECORDED AND ATTACHED. FREQUENCY HAS INCREASED. IF I TURN OUTSIDE LIGHTS ON, LIGHTS WILL NOT TURN OFF WHEN ISSUE OCCURS BUT TURN SIGNAL STILL STOPS WHEN I HAVE THEM ON. OTHER DRIVERS THEN DO NOT KNOW IF I AM TURNING. AIRBAG, BRAKE, FUEL LIGHTS, WIPERS, AND OUTSIDE LIGHTS WORRY ME SINCE EVERYTHING SHOWS WARNING OR STOPS WHILE DRIVING, AS FREQUENT AS EVERY FEW SECONDS DURING ENTIRE DRIVE. IS ONE OF THE ISSUES REAL OR ARE THEY ALL PRETEND DUE TO THE VEHICLE ISSUE? OCCURS ALL SPEEDS, TEMPERATURES, AND SO ON.

BROUGHT NEW IN 09, FRONT ROTORS CUT DUE TO SEVERE VIBRATIONS..WAS TOLD I WAS NOT DRIVING ENOUGH (NEVER HEARD THAT BEFORE)1,700 MILES., BAD VIBRATION AGAIN IN FRONT ..ROTORS CUT FRONT AND REAR. TOOK CAR TO DEALER FOR OIL CHANGE AND WAS TOLD FRONT BRAKES AND REAR BRAKES AS WELL AS ROTORS NEEDED REPLACING 12852 MILES, TOLD BY DEALER THIS IS NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR!!!. I STARTED DOING MY OWN BRAKES AS I COULD NOT AFFORD THE DEALER ANYMORE AND THEY REFUSE TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE. I HAVE BEEN CHANGING THE BRAKES EVERY OTHER OIL CHANGE, THIS IS CRAZY. I HAVE OWNED NUMEROUS CARS OVER THE YEARS AND HAVE NEVER HAD TO DO THIS. I FINALLY TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AS THE REAR DRIVERS SIDE CALIPER WAS BURNING UP AND WAS TOLD TO MY SURPRISE THEY SAID THE FRONT CALIPERS WERE SEIZED, THEY SAID THE FRONT CONTROLS THE REAR. THEY CHANGED THEM AND I PUT NEW ROTORS AND BRAKES ALL AROUND. REAR DRIVERS SIDE BURNING UP HOT AND BRAKES ALMOST TO METAL, TOOK TO DEALER AGAIN AND WAS TOLD REAR CALIPERS NEEDED REPLACING. THEY CHANGED BOTH REAR CALIPERS AND I HAD THE REAR BRAKES REPLACE AGAIN. REAR DRIVERS SIDE CALIPER STARTED STICKING AGAIN BURNING HOT AND BRAKES WORN ALMOST TO METAL AGAIN, THEY REPLACED AND I WENT ONLINE AND FOUND MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM 08-12 CARAVAN AND NONE OF THEM GOT ANY SATISFACTION FROM THE DEALER OR DODGE. I TOLD THE TECH ABOUT THE COMPLAINTS AND ALL HE COULD SAY IS "IF ITS BROKEN WE WILL FIX, AND THATS ALL HE CAN DO" WITH NO FURTHER EXPLANATION. I REALLY DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO GET A RECALL DONE ONCE YOU HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED. RECALL RO3. HAS BEEN YEAR AND A HALF STARTED WITH RECALL L25

K31 NOTIFICATION. WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE TO VISIT FAMILY OUT OF STATE, MY AC BLOWER MOTOR STOPPED WORKING AND MY FLOOR ON THE FRONT PASSENGER AND DRIVER AREAS BECAME VERY SATURATED. I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE TO AN AUTO REPAIR SHOP AND THEY STATED THAT THE AC DRAIN TUBE SHOULD BE PART OF THE K31 RECALL NOTIFICATION DUE TO MY VEHICLE BEING A 2009 GRAND CARAVAN. THE DRAIN TUBE WAS RUBBER AND THE REPLACEMENT PART IS SUPPOSED TO BE HARD PLASTIC. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE AND THEY STATED THAT THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING BECAUSE THE VAN WAS MANUFACTURED 2 MONTHS AFTER THE NOTIFICATION CUT OFF. I STATED THAT A MECHANIC VERIFIED THAT ON WWW.ALLDATAPRO.COM AND THE PART WAS INCORRECT ON MY VAN.. DUE TO THE DRAIN TUBE GETTING CLOGGED, IT CAUSED NOT ONLY THE CABIN FLOORS TO BECOME SATURATED BUT ALSO THE BLOWER MOTOR TO BECOME INOPERABLE AND NEEDING REPLACEMENT. CHRYSLER CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE THEN STATED THAT I WOULD HAVE TO TAKE MY VAN TO A CERTIFIED DEALERSHIP (AT MY OWN COST) AND HAVE THE PART VERIFIED. THE CHRYSLER DEALER I CONTACTED TOLD ME IT WILL COST $125 FOR THEM TO SIMPLY VERIFY THAT THE PART WAS INCORRECT. SO NOT ONLY DID I PAY THE AUTO REPAIR SHOP $37 BUT ALSO HAVE ACCRUED AT LEAST $125 MORE AND THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT ANYTHING WILL BE REPAIRED. I FEEL THAT A MISTAKE DURING MANUFACTURING AND 2 MONTHS SHOULD BAR MY VAN FROM THE K31 NOTIFICATION REPAIR.

WE RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE REGUARDING THE WIRELESS IGNITION NODE ON OUR VEHICLE. AS THE NOTICE INSTRUCTED I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP UPON RECEIVING THE NOTICE. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TOLD US THEY WOULD LET US KNOW WHEN THEY GOT THE PART TO REPLACE IT. IT HAS NOW BEEN OVER A YEAR AND THE DEALERSHIP STILL DOES NOT HAVE THE PART THEY NEED TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THEY SAY THEY ARE WAITING FOR THE CAR MANUFACTURER TO SEND THE PART.
