2010 Dodge Grand Caravan complaints

TWO THINGS HAPPENING OCCASIONALLY...1ST IS THAT SOMETIMES I ATTEMPT TO START THE VAN AND WHEN I TURN THE KEY NOTHING HAPPENS AS IF I DIDN'T EVEN TRY TO TURN THE KEY. ONE TIME JUST BEFORE THIS HAPPENED I COULD NOT USE THE KEY FAB TO UNLOCK THE DOOR TO THE VAN, ALMOST LIKE THE BATTERY TO THE VAN OR FAB WAS DEAD, HOWEVER BOTH WERE NEW OR FINE. AFTER PULLING FAB OUT OF IGNITION AND TRYING A SECOND TIME VAN HAS ALWAYS STARTED WITHOUT INCIDENT. 2ND ISSUE IS THAT ON A FEW SPREAD OUT OCCASIONS THE VAN WILL QUIT SHIFTING GEARS WHILE EXCELLERATING CAUSING THE RPM'S TO REV DANGEROUSLY. SO FAR AFTER GETTING TO A SAFE PLACE AND TURNING THE VAN OFF AND RESTARTING HAS CLEARED THE ISSUE...HOWEVER IS UNCLEAR WHAT IS CAUSING AND IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN YOU ARE ON THE HIGHWAY BEFORE YOU REALIZE WHATS HAPPENING.

ENGINE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. IT HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES.

I WENT TO START MY VAN AND IT WOULDN'T START. THE DASH SAID "BAD KEY". APPARENTLY THE KEY UNPROGRAMMED SOME HOW OUT OF NOWHERE. I DIDN'T DO ANY5TO MY KEY AND IT JUST QUIT WORKING.

THE VEHICLE SHUTS COMPLETELY OFF WHILE DRIVING. NO SPITTING OR SPUTTERING, NO STALLING, NO ERROR CODES OR LIGHTS. JUST SHUTS OFF WITH NO WARNING. WEATHER CONDITIONS, SPEED, MILES DROVE MATTERS

THE KEY FOB LOCKS THE CAR IF LIGHTLY BUMPED. THE DANGER IS LEAVING THE KEYS IN THE CAR AND CLOSING A DOOR WHICH TRIGGERS THE LOCK. THIS COULD LOCK ONE OUT IN FREEZING WEATHER OR LOCK A CHILD IN THE VAN WHEN PARKED AND CLOSING THE DRIVERS DOOR THEN TRYING TO OPEN THE REAR DOOR TO GET A CHILD OUT. I SPOKE TO MY OFFICE EMPLOYEE AND SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH DODGE KEY FOBS HAPPEN TO HER AND A FRIEND.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR SUDDENLY SHUTS OFF AND LOSES ALL POWER. AFTER TWO OR THREE MINUTES IT WILL RESTART.

DEALERSHIP HAD VEHICLE FOR 2 WEEKS COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG. REPLACED THE FLEXPLATE. IT NOW MAKES A GRINDING NOISE AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS BACK ON. NOW IT IS STALLING SEVERAL TIMES WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED. IT PUTS MY FAMILY AT RISK AND NOW I CANNOT LEAVE THE NEIGHBORHOOD IN FEAR THAT IT WILL STALL WHILE DRIVING. IF WE GET INTO AN ACCIDENT WITH THE VEHICLE STALLED NO AIRBAGS WILL BE REPLOYED. SOMETIMES IT HAD DIFFICULTY STARTING.

ENGINE SHUT OFF ON 2 OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH ON CITY ROAD. LUCKILY NO TRAFFIC SO NO CRASH. POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES WENT OUT AS WELL. DEALER SAID NO OPEN RECALLS. THIS SOUNDS LIKE WINS RECALL THAT IMPACTED SOME 2010 CARAVANS

I HAVE A 2010 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN WITH THE 4.0 LITER MOTOR, 6 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. MY VAN JUST PASSED 119,000 MILES AND IT JUST STARTED TO SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 30-40 MPH, ON CITY STREETS. THIS IS A MAJOR CONCERN AS I TRANSPORT MY CHILDREN AROUND. I HAVE NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AND I HOPE NOT TO ANYTIME SOON. I'VE BEEN READING FORUMS ONLINE AND MANY CHRYSLER OWNERS ARE SAYING IT COULD BE ANYTHING FROM THE EGR VALVE, TO THE IGNITION SWITCH AND EVEN BAD BATTERY. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS NOT ON SO NO CODES TO DECODE. PLEASE FIX THIS MAJOR PROBLEM BEFORE PEOPLE GET HURT DRIVING THESE VEHICLES

FEBRUARY MY HUSBAND AND I FINANCED THIS CAR AND WITHIN LESS THAN ONE MONTH WE BEEN EXPERIENCING ONE ISSUE AFTER ANOTHER. FIRST, THE HEATER HOSE HAD A HOLE IN IT THEN AFTER THAT WAS THE RADIATOR THEN AFTER WE REPLACED THOSE TWO NOW WE HAVE A ISSUE WITH THE EXHAUST MODIFIER AS WELL A ISSUE WITH THE BRAKES TODAY THE TIRES LOCKED UP ON US. COULD BE RELATED TO THE ISSUES THATS BEEN REPORTED ON THE NEWER DODGE GRAND CARAVANS.

THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE ALL HAPPENING WITHIN SEVERAL MONTHS. WE FIRST HAD ISSUES WITH THE TIRE TREAD, THEN A HOLE IN THE WATER HOSE AND RADIATOR, A HOLE IN THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD. THEN IT WAS BROKEN PIECES IN THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. NOW THE CURRENT ISSUE IS EITHER THE BRAKES SEIZED UP OR THE THE CALIBER IS STUCK AND WE ARE CURRENTLY UNABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE.

WHILE DRIVING THE 2010 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN IT WILL JUST SHUT DOWN. WHILE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM I FOUND 2 RECALLS FOR ELECTRICAL ISSUES BOTH HAVING TO DO WITH THE VEHICLE SHUTTING DOWN WHILE DRIVING. WHEN I ENTERED MY VIN IT SHOWED ONE THAT NEEDED THE IGNITION AND FOBS REPLACED. WE TOOK IT TO OUR LOCAL DEALER TRI-STAR OF INDIANA AND THEY SAY THE RECALL WAS COMPLETED IN JUNE OF 2016. I CAN'T FIND ANY PAPERWORK ON THIS AND IT STILL SHOWS UP. EVEN IF IT WAS DONE, IT'S OBVIOUS IT NEEDS DONE AGAIN BECAUSE THEIR REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE DEFECTIVE JUST LIKE THE ONES THEY REPLACED. I ALREADY INFORMED THEM IF ANYTHING HAPPENS TO MY FAMILY OR ME WHILE DRIVING THIS, THEY WILL BE THE FIRST NAMES ON THE LAW SUIT THE DODGE FOR NOT FIXING THE ISSUE CORRECTLY THE FIRST TIME. THIS HAPPENS IN TOWN, ON COUNTRY ROADS, SITTING AT STOP LIGHTS. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED MY DAUGHTER WAS TAKING HER KIDS TO THE DOCTOR ON TUESDAY 12/3/2019.

WHILE DRIVING MY VAN JUST SHUTS OFF I HAVE NO STEERING IT JUST STOPS. IT IS CURRENTLY AT A DEALERSHIP IN INDIANA PENNSYLVANIA CALLED TRI STAR. I SAW THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS AND THEY ARE STATING I HAD IT FIXED IN 2016. IT IS HAPPENING AGAIN. SHOULD THIS NOT BE YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO FIX. I HAVE TWO SMALL CHILDREN WITH ME. 18 MONTHS AND 4 MONTHS I WANT PEACE OF MIND THEY WILL BE SAFE.

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2010 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. THE CAR SHUTS OFF ON ME WHILE DRIVING . IT WILL START BACK UP AFTER YOU PUT IT IN PARK AND TURN IT BACK ON BUT IT JUST SHUTS OFF . IT SHUT OFF ON ME TWICE ON THE HIGHWAY WITH MY KIDS IN THE CAR AND FOUR TIMES WHILE DRIVING IN THE CITY.IT MAKES THIS WEIRD NOISE WHEN TURNING LEFT AND THE LIGHTS ARE FLICKERING ON AND OFF. IF THAT'S NOT ENOUGH THE DOORS SEEM TO JUST OPEN AND CLOSE ON THERE OWN THE TRUNK SHUT ON ME WHILE I WAS GETTING GROCERIES OUT. I BROUGHT THE CAR INTO THE SHOP AND THEY SAID THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE THE SHUTTING OFF AND CLAIMED THEY FIXED THE DOOR OPENING IN IT'S OWN PROBLEM .WELL THE DOORS CONTINUE TO OPEN AND NOW THEY ARE HARD TO OPEN WITH THE KEY AND YOU HAVE TO MANUALLY OPEN THEM . THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AND THE DEALER IS CLAIMING THERE IS NOTHING WRONG PLEASE HELP ME.

MY VAN WAS REPAIRED UNDER A FACTORY RECALL ON MARCH 21, 2016. ON PAPER, IT'S CALLED "R-03 IGNITION MODE". PRIOR TO THAT THE CAR WOULD HAVE TROUBLE STARTING, SOMETIMES NOT ABLE TO START IT AT ALL. THE REPAIR FIXED IT AND I WAS ISSUED A NEW KEY. ABOUT A YEAR AGO, IT STARTED AGAIN. THIS TIME THOUGH, IT ALWAYS STARTS AFTER IT TURNS OVER FOR 3-10 SECONDS. OCCASIONALLY IT WON'T START THE FIRST TIME BUT ALWAYS STARTS ON THE SECOND TRY. WE HAVE HAD IT TO A MECHANIC OVER THE PAST YEAR THREE DIFFERENT TIME, AND THEY ALL THINK IT'S A PROBLEM THAT THE DEALERSHIP NEEDS TO HANDLE. THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND THE PROBLEM DESPITE US SPENDING OVER $500 REPLACING THINGS THEY THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE. I HAVE TRIED USING THE OTHER KEY AND THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPENS. THE PROBLEM HAS GOTTEN WORSE OVER THE MONTHS. AT FIRST IT WOULD ONLY DO IT ONCE IN AWHILE. FOR THE PAST SIX MONTHS AT LEAST, IT DOES IT EVERY TIME I TRY TO START THE CAR.

THE VEHICLE SLIDING DOOR HAS LOCKED AND WILL NOT OPEN WITH THE KEY NOR MANUALLY. THE DOOR IS LOCKED IN POSITION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE CONTACT HAD DIFFICULTY TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DIFFICULT TO DEPRESS. THE ENGINE TURNED OFF.

I WAS DRIVING ON A 2 LANE STATE ROUTE LAST NIGHT AROUND 55 MILES PER HOUR. I WAS BEHIND 4 VEHICLES. MY 2010 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN HAS 113,982 MILES ON IT SUDDENLY WENT WILD OPEN, I PASSED 2 OF THE CARS AND THANK GOD THERE WAS NO ONE COMING THE OTHER WAY. I WAS ON THE BRAKES AS HARD AS I COULD PUSH. I PULLED IN BETWEEN THE 2 MIDDLE CARS AND HAD TO TURN THE ENGINE OFF AND GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. WHAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT THIS? THANKS, WOULD APPRECIATE ANY HELP I CAN GET.

OFTEN AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE AND IN DRIVE IT WILL AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF. I HAVE TO PUT IN NEUTRAL AND TURN IGNITION OVER AGAIN TO MAKE IT DRIVE AGAIN. THIS HAPPENS AT STOP LIGHTS, CITY STREETS AND EXPRESSWAYS. THE RADIO AND AIR WILL STILL WORK BUT I'M JUST COASTING WITH NO POWER STEERING.

REAR BRAKES WEAR OUT INCREDIBLY FAST. THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKE CALIPER NOT RELEASING, WHICH SEEMS TO BE CAUSING THE REAR BRAKE WEAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO JIM CLICK JEEP (701 W AUTO MALL DR, TUCSON, AZ 85705, (866) 933-1114) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED A WIRELESS CONTROL MODULE IGNITION REPLACEMENT.

GOING ROUGHLY 55/60 MPH A DEER HIT MY DRIVERS SIDE OF THE VAN, TOTALLY MY VAN. AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND WHEN LOOKING AT THE DAMAGE TO MY VAN I WAS TOLD THAT MY AIR BAGS SHOULD OF DEPLOYED. THE DAMAGE TO MY VAN WAS CONSIDERED A "TOTAL LOSS" AS WELL AS I WENT THROUGH MASSAGE THERAPY AND CHIROPRACTIC CARE.

WHILE DRIVING AT 35-40MPH ON A RURAL ZONE THE STEERING WHEEL SUDDENLY FELT 'LOCKED' AND WAS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO STEER. AT THE SAME TIME THE BRAKES WERE HARD TO PRESS AND THE TRACTION CONTROL DASH LIGHT CAME ON. MY WIFE WAS DRIVING AND FRIGHTENED HER VERY MUCH. THE ROAD HAS A SLIGHT CURVE IN IT AND HAS ONCOMING TRAFFIC IN THE OPPOSITE LANE. SHE HAD TO FORCIBLY STEER THE VAN AS BEST SHE COULD AGAINST THE SIDEWALK CURB TO HELP SLOW DOWN THE VAN. IF SHE HAD MADE IT TO THE FREEWAY WHEN THIS HAPPENED I DON'T THINK THE RESULTS WOULD BE THE SAME AS FAR AS HER SAFETY. I LOOKED UP THE SYMPTOMS AND FOUND IT TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM AND THAT EVEN A RECALL MIGHT BE IN PLACE FOR THIS ISSUE. PLEASE FORWARD ME ANY INFO THAT WILL HELP ME CORRECT THIS PROBLEM.

THE ENGINE TURNS OFF WHILE DRIVING. IT HAPPENS AT ANY SPEED. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE ESP INDICATOR LIGHTS. WHEN YOU COAST TO A STOP AND PUT THE CAR IN PARK, IT WILL RESTART.

DRIVING AND IGNITION SHUT OFF.

THE VEHICLE TURNS OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING, STOPPING, STOPPED OR OTHER OPERATION FOR NO APPARENT REASON.

WHEN PULLING OUT ONTO THE MAIN ROAD FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD, STEERING FAILED (STIFF AS IF NO POWER STEERING AND VEHICLE PROPULSION FAILED (FOOT ON THE GAS PRODUCED NO FORWARD MOTION). VEHICLE WAS QUIET. ALMOST LIKE A STALL OR AS IF THE VEHICLE WAS IN NEUTRAL, BUT THERE WAS NO INDICATION THAT THE VEHICLE HAD STALLED. DRIVER TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON AND WAS ABLE TO RESUME NORMAL DRIVING. THIS IS THE THIRD OR FOURTH INCIDENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. WHEN THE KEY WAS REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION SWITCH, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO SHUT DOWN AND THE BATTERY WAS DISCONNECTED. ADDITIONALLY, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START OCCASIONALLY. ALSO, THE BAD KEY MESSAGE WAS DISPLAYED AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT CALLED KELLEY SALES & SERVICE (74 CLINTON ST, SPRINGFIELD, VT 05156, (802) 885-2186, BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 172,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE TRACTION CONTROL INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN. THE CONTACT EXPERIENCED DIFFICULTY DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, WHICH HAD TO BE DEPRESSED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOORBOARD TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT TURNED OFF THE IGNITION IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET AND ACTIVATED THE HAZARD LIGHTS. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND DRIVE HOME. UPON RESEARCH, THE CONTACT ASSOCIATED THE FAILURE WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 11V139000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURES. THE CONTACT CALLED FURY CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM SAINT PAUL (LOCATED AT 1000 CONCORD ST S, SOUTH ST PAUL, MN 55075, (651) 451-1313), BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 207,000.

THE 2010 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN LEFT HAND SIDE WIRING LOOM WEARS ON AN ALUMINUM OBTRUSION BENEATH WHERE IT LIES. THIS CAUSES THE WIRE'S SHIELDING TO BE WORN OFF AND CAUSES SHORTING. THE ENGINE WILL DIE WHEN THE WIRE CONTACTS METAL OR EACH OTHER DURING TRAVEL. THIS PROBLEM WILL CAUSE THE ENGINE TO DIE AT ROAD SPEEDS LEAVING THE VEHICLE WITHOUT STEERING, BRAKES, AND OTHER SAFETY RELATED EQUIPMENT. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE COMMON AND UNDETECTED BECAUSE THE WEAR POINT IS ON THE UNDERSIDE OF THE WIRING LOOM NEAR THE ENGINE. THE HARNESS IS HARD TO LIFT AND INSPECT BECAUSE OF THE LOCATION AND LACK OF SLACK AT THE POINT OF THE OBTRUSION. VIBRATION CAUSES THE SHORT, THE VEHICLE WILL NORMALLY START AFTER COMING TO A STOP WHEN THERE IS NO FRICTION BETWEEN THE WORN WIRES. I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE REVIEWED AND ANALYZED FOR A RECALL BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY ISSUE INVOLVED AS OTHERS HAVE STATED BUT ARE UNAWARE OF THE CAUSE. I HAVE ADDED ADDITIONAL WRAPPING TO LIMP MY VEHICLE HOME DURING A THREE HOUR TRIP. ADDITIONALLY, THIS FORM WOULD NOT LET ME SELECT STEERING, BRAKES, OR OTHER SAFETY FEATURES WHEN I SELECTED ELECTRICAL, WHICH IS SPECIFICALLY WHAT CAUSES THE SAFETY ISSUES. *JS

THE ENGINE WILL TURN OFF WHILE DRIVING AND THEN NOTHING WORKS. NO AIR BAGS, NO POWER STEERING, NO POWER BRAKES. THIS HAPPENS FREQUENTLY. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS UNDER 35 MPH. AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THIS COULD BE FATAL.

SINCE GETTING THE VEHICLE IN OCT. 2018, ITS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR STARTER ISSUES. WE HAVE REPLACED THE STARTER 4 TIMES AND STILL DOESN'T WANT TO START. THE NEXT THING WE DID WAS REPLACE THE TIPM MODULE AND 2 DAYS LATER STILL HAVING A PROBLEM WITH IT STARTING. AT TIMES IT TAKES 1-5 MINUTES TO START AND AT TIMES IT DOESN'T WANT TO START AT ALL. NOT SURE WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT. NEEDLESS TO SAY WE HAVE PAID CLOSE TO $1600 ON THE VEHICLE AND IT STILL ISN'T FIXED.

CAR DIES WHILE DRIVING WILL NOT START SOME TIMES

I BOUGHT MY 2010 VAN IN 2017. MARCH 1ST 2019 MY COMPLETE AND BRAKE CONTROL MODULE HAS COMPLETELY FAILED. MY BRAKE, ABS, ESP BAD AND TRACTION SENSOR LIGHTS REMAIN ON MY DASH BOARD, AND I HAVE NO EMERGENCY BRAKING AT ALL. I HAVE NO IDEA HOW A COMPLETE ABS BRAKING SYSTEM COMPUTER CAN JUST FAIL. THE LIGHT CAME ON WHILE I WAS DRIVING IN TRAFFIC.

MY POWER SLIDING DOOR ON PASSENGER SIDE WILL NOT UNLOCK OR OPEN MANUALLY!

A FEW WEEKS AGO I HAD A PROBLEM WITH MY IGNITION, AND STARTED TO LOOK INFORMATION ABOUNT IT. I FOUND A RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE (R3 / NHTSA 14V-373) WHERE THE REMEDY IS: THE WIN MODULE AND FOBIKS MUST BE REPLACED. I CALLED TO PALMER DODGE (770) 410-1111 (ADDRESS: 11460 ALPHARETTA HWY, ROSWELL, GA 30076 - WORKER: LUIS) AND MADE A APPOINTMENT TO FEV-19 (TODAY), AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WILL BE REPLACED, BUT TODAY THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY JUST WILL UPDATE THE WIN MODULE AND IT WILL BE FINE. THE REPORT SAY: THE WIN MODULE AND FOBIKS MUST BE REPLACED, SO I DON'T FELL GOOD BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. I TRIED TO CONTACT RECALLS.MOPAR.COM BY CHAT, AND THEY COULD NOT HELP ME. I ASK THE PALMER WORKER AND HE JUST SAY THAT UPDATE IS ENOUGH, BUT THE REPORT SAYS MUST BE REPLACED.

MILEAGE: 100,000 THE ENGINE WILL CUT OUT WHILE DRIVING. DASH LIGHTS WILL FLASH, WARNING CHIME WILL BEEP, AND THE VEHICLE WILL REV AND LURCH FORWARD BEFORE DYING. THIS LEAVES THE CAR AT A COAST. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS BROUGHT TO A STOP, IT RESTARTS WITHOUT A PROBLEM. HAS HAPPENED IN COLD AND WARM WEATHER ALIKE.. HAS HAPPENED WHILE COASTING, BRAKING, AND ACCELERATING. MOST STALLS HAVE BEEN WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT IN THE CITY. NO HIGHWAYS STALLS TO DATE . CAUSE: UNKOWN; WE HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO REPRODUCE THE EVENT RELIABLY, THOUGH IT NOW OCCURS WITH SOME FREQUENCY (E.G. DRIVING MORE THAN 20 MIN). I SUSPECT THE POWER CONTROL MODULE (PCM) OR THE IGNITION SWITCH SOMEHOW MOVING BETWEEN ON AND ACCESSORY MODES. AVAILABLE DATA: ISSUES SIMILAR TO THIS ONE CAN BE FOUND ON FORUMS, IT DOES NOT SEEM THAT MANY HAVE BEEN ABLE TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM, DESPITE REPLACE THE COMPUTER AND ALTERNATOR.
