FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS THE ENGINE AND BATTERY LIGHTS WOULD COME ON BUT FLASH OFF. I ASSUMED THAT THE OIL JUST NEEDED TO BE CHANGED. HAD THE OIL CHANGED ON 8/17/15 AND REQUESTED THAT THE MECHANIC PUT IT ON THE COMPUTER FOR ANY ADDITIONAL ISSUES. WHEN I PICKED UP MY 2012 DODGE CARAVAN THE SERVICE TECHNICAN STATED THAT NOTHING WAS FOUND. THEN ON 8/28 I WAS DRIVING AT 35 MPH WHEN ALL THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS STARTED COMING ON AND THE VAN SEEMED SLUGGISH. BECAUSE I WASN'T SURE WHAT WAS HAPPENING I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF... LETTING IT SIT ABOUT 10MINUTES - WHEN I WENT TO START IT, IT WOULD NOT START. HAD A FRIEND COME AND JUMP ME SO I COULD GET IT HOME. HAD A MECHANIC COME TO THE HOUSE AND PUT IT ON THE COMPUTER AND FOUND THE ALTERNATOR WAS BLOWN. IT IS BARELY 3 YEARS OLD AND ONLY 63830 MILES.

I WAS ENTERING ON A BUSY INTERSTATE WHEN MY 2012 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN R/T GOT TO ABOUT 50+ MPH THE GAS PEDAL KEPT ACCELERATING AND WOULD NOT STOP THE RPM GAGE HIT 6 THE ONLY WAY I GOT IT TO STOP WAS TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL AND PULL OF THE ROAD THE RMP'S KEPT GOING AS DID THE ENGINE I TURNED THE VAN OFF IN NEUTRAL AND PUT IT IN PARK. WHEN I STARTED THE VAN BACK UP IT INSTANTLY STARTED DOING THE SAME THING IN PARK. I TURNED THE VAN BACK OFF AND WAITED ABOUT 5 MINUTES AND WHEN I RESTARTED THE VAN IT SEEMED NORMAL. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THAT DAY ON A SATURDAY THEY CALLED ME MONDAY AND SAID IT HAPPENED WITH THEIR TECHNICIANS DRIVING AND HE REMOVED THE FLOOR MAT THAT HAD BEEN IN THERE FOR 2 AND A HALF YEARS AND IT WAS FINE THEY TOLD ME THE FLOOR MAT GOT STUCK UNDER THE PEDAL! COMMON SENSE SAYS IT WOULD STOP THE PEDAL FROM BEING PUSHED DOWN NOT PULL THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR. BUT WHAT DO I KNOW RIGHT!?!?!?! I AM JUST A FEMALE AND MOTHER TO 2 SMALL CHILDREN WHO WERE WITH ME WHEN IT HAPPENED. IT DID THIS AGAIN WITH MY HUSBAND DRIVING ON A 6 LANE ROAD WHEN HE PULLED OUT FROM A STOP. THIS TIME THE FLOOR MAT HAD NOT BEEN THERE. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS MATTER BEFORE A RUN AWAY VEHICLE KILLS SOMEONE! THEY KEEP TELLING ME THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE PROBLEM IS CAUSED FROM BECAUSE NO CODES COME UP ON DIAGNOSTICS. HOWEVER IF YOU SEARCH THE ISSUE ONLINE IT POINTS TO THE TIPM AND THE FUEL PUMP NOT SHUTTING OFF. THE SAFETY ISSUE OF THIS IS PRETTY SEVERE IF YOU ASK ME. A VE

DEALER PERFORMED RECALL "P25", REAR VENT WINDOW SWITCH DISCONNECTED. DEALER STILL DOES NOT HAVE STOCK TO REPLACE SWITCH. WAS TOLD ON 06/22/2015 I WAS NUMBER 41 OF 60 ON A WAITING LIST FOR THE SWITCH. WAS ALSO TOLD THE SWITCHES HAVE BEEN ON BACK ORDER FOR THE LAST 3 WEEKS SO THEY ARE NOT EVEN GETTING THE 3-5 SWITCHES A WEEK THEY HAD BEEN RECEIVING. MORE THAN 10 MONTHS AND STILL NO FIX PER RECALL 14V-234, RECALL INCOMPLETE!
EACH TIME I HAVE HAD THE CAR SERVICED (ABOUT EVERY 6 MONTHS), I ASK THAT THE DOOR LOCKING MECHANISM BE FIXED, BUT THE PROBLEM CONTINUES AND WORSENS. ABOUT 25% OF THE TIME, THE DOORS ALL LOCK WHILE THE ENGINE IS OFF, SOMETIMES AS I'M GETTING OUT OF THE CAR AND WHILE THE DRIVER-SIDE DOOR IS STILL OPEN. I'M NOW PARANOID ABOUT FORGETTING TO HAVE MY KEYS IN HAND WHEN I LEAVE THE CAR. IT COULD BE DANGEROUS.
NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
