INITAILLY BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON UNEXPECTEDLY. 30 MINS LATER WHILE DRIVING ON THE STREET, THE CAR WOULD NO LONGER PULL AS IF IT HAD BEEN SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL. CONSTANTLY SHIFTING THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL AND BACK INTO DRIVE I WAS ABLE TO PULL ONTO A SIDE STREET. I COULD HEAR A SOLID CLICK WHEN DOING THE SHIFTING. CHECKED TRANSMISSIN FLUID AND IT WAS CLEAN AND AT A GOOD LEVEL. BATTERY LIGHT STAYED ON AND EVENTUALLY CAR WOULD NO LONGER START.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IDLING, THE ENGINE MISFIRED. AS A RESULT, THE RPMS DECREASED AND THE VEHICLE VIBRATED AND SHUDDERED. ON SOME OCCASIONS, THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF COMPLETELY. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

DRIVER'S SIDE MANUAL SLIDING DOOR WON'T OPEN. LOCK WON'T MOVE. WORKED ONE DAY AND HASN'T SINCE

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE THE PASSENGER SIDE HEAD REST DEPLOYED. THERE WAS A PASSENGER IN THE SEAT AT THE TIME BUT WAS NOT HIT BY THE HEAD REST.

TRANSMISSION ON OUR 2013 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN FAILED WHILE TRAVELING ON THE FREEWAY VAN WOULD NO LONGER ACCELERATE. MY WIFE HAD TO COAST TO THE CENTER OF THE FREEWAY AND CALL FOR A TOW TRUCK. LUCKILY NEITHER MY WIFE OF THE 3 CHILDREN IN OUR VAN WERE INJURED DESPITE BEING IN A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION.

TAKATA RECALL .... THE HEADREST ON THE PASSENGER SEAT DEPLOYED ON IT'S OWN WITHOUT AN ACCIDENT OCCURRING. TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE, THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY.

THE SLIDING DOOR ON DRIVERS SIDE NO LONGER OPENS. THE HANDLE MOVES BUT DOESN'T SEEM TO LATCH OR UNLATCH. DOOR INOPERABLE IN CLOSED POSITION. IT WILL NOT OPEN AT ALL FROM OUTSIDE OR INSIDE THE VEHICLE. IT IS NOT A POWER DOOR, MANUAL ONLY. IT JUST WOULDN'T OPEN ONE DAY, WITHOUT WARNING, AROUND MAY 21, 2019. I HEAR OF MANY OTHERS HAVING SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. PLEASE INITIATE A RECALL, AS THIS IS NOT ONLY AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR, BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY A SAFETY ISSUE FOR EXITING THE VEHICLE IN AN EMERGENCY.

FUEL PUMP RUNS ALL NIGHT DRAINS BATTERY AND LATER VEHICLE STALLS AND CRANKS BUT DOESN'T START

THE COOLING SYSTEM STARTED A LEAK NEAR THE FIREWALL WHERE ARE THE METAL TUBING CONNECTS 2 EACH Y PLASTIC CONNECTORS. IT IS ONE SOLID PIECE THAT WRAPS AROUND THE TOP OF THE ENGINE AND FACTORY PRICE IS $185 NO THIRD PARTY AVAILABLE. AFTER INSPECTING THE Y CONNECTORS THEY ARE MADE OF VERY VERY THIN ABS PLASTIC. AT 125000 MILES HAD TO REPLACE IT TWICE WITHIN 50000 MILES THE SECOND TIME I USED 2 EACH BRASS TEE CONNECTORS WITH ADDITIONAL 5/8 HEATER HOSE AND SPLICED IT TOGETHER FOR A BETTER STRONGER CONNECTION. THIS HAS MADE THE FOURTH HIGH PRESSURE LEAK I'VE HAD AND 60,000 MILES.

THE TIPM HAS GONE BAD IN THIS VAN. THE VAN WILL STALL WHILE DRIVING AND THE FUEL PUMP WILL STAY RUNNING IF YOU DON'T PULL THE FUSE. THIS IS A RECALL ON ONLY CERTAIN MODELS MADE BY DODGE BUT THEY ARE CLAIMING IT IS NOT A PROBLEM WITH THIS VAN EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE THE SAME COMPONENTS. I NOW HAVE TO PUT OUT $1600 TO REPAIR SOMETHING CHRYSLER WILL NOT ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY. THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE WITHOUT THE REPAIR AND CHRYSLER SHOULD DO BETTER.

WE HAD EXPERIENCED COLD AIR COMING FROM HVAC IN WINTER AND RECENTLY HAD HOT AIR COMING ON WHILE USING THE AC.THERE WAS RECALL FOR 2014BUT NOT 2013. I HAVE REQUESTED DODGE PAY FOR THE REPAIRS AS I HAVE ALREADY PAID TO HAVE IT DIAGNOSED. WE ARE UNABLE TO ADJUST THE HVAC SYSTEM TEMPS AND WAS ADVISED I NEED A BLEND DOOR ACTUATOR THAT SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER X64 WARRANTY EXTENSION. I WOULD EXPECT DODGE TO PAY FOR THIS. THEY WANTED ME TO GET IT DIAGNOSED AT A DEALERSHIP (I PAID $75 TO HAVE IT DIAGNOSED) FOR 4124 THEN THEY WOULD CONSIDER PAYING REPAIRS; MADE NO SENS TO ME. RECALL 24-005-16 SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO COVER MY 2013. PLEASE PROVIDE DODGE CORPORATE OFFICE CONTACT INFO IF YOU COULD. I WOULD APPRECIATE WHATEVER CAN BE DONE TO GET THIS FIXED. BLEND DOOR ACTUATOR IS IN NEED OF REPAIR AND I FEEL AS THOUGH I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR IT. THANK YOU!

BATTERY IS NOT HOLDING A CHARGE FOR MORE THAN 3 HOURS. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO SEVERAL MECHANICS AND AUTO-SHOPS, BUT NO ONE IS ABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. WHEN THE BATTERY DIES, AND I GET IT TOWED TO A SHOP, THEY SAY THEY CANNOT DIAGNOSE IT UNLESS THEY CHARGE OR JUMP THE BATTERY; BUT ONCE THE BATTERY IS CHARGED/JUMPED, THE DIAGNOSIS COMES BACK CLEAN. LITERALLY, EVERY MORNING I NEED TO GET THE CAR JUMP STARTED, ELSE I AM STRANDED. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN SPORADIC FOR ABOUT THE LAST 7 MONTHS, BUT IT HAS BECOME A REGULAR PROBLEM WITH THE PAST 2 WEEKS. ONCE THE CAR RESTS FOR MORE THAN 3 HOURS, IT DIES. I HAVE CHECK THE ALTERNATOR CHECK TO SEE IF THE DIODES ARE LEAKING; I HAVE HAD THE STARTING AND CHARGING SYSTEMS CHECK, BUT NO ONE CAN FIND A RESOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM. THE POWER DRIVERS SEAT HAS ALSO STOPPED WORKING ABOUT 4 MONTHS AGO, AND THE AC LIGHTS FLICKER CONSTANTLY (EVEN THOUGH THE AC DOES WORK NORMALLY) I SEE THERE WAS A PREVIOUS RECALL CONCERNING ELECTRICAL PROBLEM WITH THE DRIVER SIDE ARM REST, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF THIS COULD POSSIBLY BE A RELATED ISSUE. *DT CONSUMER STATED OTHER THAN THE POWER SEAT AND THE DRAINING BATTERY, THE ONLY OTHER ISSUE CONSUMER NOTICED WAS A FLICKERING OF THE AC LIGHTS. *JB

THIS IS THE 6TH TIME MY VAN HAS DIED ON ME WHILE DRIVING IT. I WILL BE DRIVING AT ANY RATE OF SPEED AND MY VAN WILL JUST SHUT OFF. IF I LEAVE IT SIT FOR 45MINITES IT WILL START BACK UP. TODAY IT DIED ON ME IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION WITH THREE KIDS IN THE CAR. WE HAVE TAKEN IT SEVERAL PLACES AND NO ONE SEEMS TO BE ABLE TO HELP US. WE HAVE REPLACED THE TIPM. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS EVER ON WHEN IT HAPPENS

DRIVER'S REAR, MANUAL, SLIDING DOOR JUST STOPPED WORKING. IT WILL NOT UNLOCK OR OPEN FROM INSIDE OR OUT.

THE AIRBAG LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF EVERY SO OFTEN ALSO BLINKS WHEN GOING A CERTAIN SPEED.

DRIVER SIDE PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR IS STUCK IN THE LOCKED POSITION. IT WILL NOT UNLOCK MANUALLY OR WITH THE KEY FOB. OBVIOUSLY MINI-VANS ARE VERY POPULAR AMOUNT MOMS WITH KIDS - THIS CREATES A SERIOUS SAFETY RISK. AT THE MOMENT IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY MY PASSENGERS WOULD ONLY BE ABLE TO GET OUT OF ONE FUNCTIONING DOOR.

THE 2013 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN SXT GETS STUCK IN A LOW GEAR REVVING THE RPMS TO 4,000-5,000 RPMS WHILE GOING AT LOW SPEEDS. THIS HAS OCCURRED EVERY WEEK SINCE PURCHASE OF THE VEHICLE, ANYWHERE FROM1-3 TIMES A DAY; IT IS RARE TO GO A DAY WITHOUT THE CAR GETTING STUCK IN LOW GEAR. THIS OCCURS WHEN THE CAR IS STARTED AND AS I PULL OUT. THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN REPLACED, THE BATTERY HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE AND THE CAR HAS STALLED TWICE. WITHIN THE TWO YEARS OF OWNING THE VEHICLE, IT HAS BEEN IN TO BE REPAIRED 10 TIMES. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN 2017 AND OWN IT TO CURRENT DATE IN 2019. I HAVE HAD THREE DIFFERENT REPAIR SHOPS ATTEMPT TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE AND NONE OF THEM CAN. THE CAR STILL GETS STUCK IN LOW GEAR AND THE RPMS REV TO 4,000-5,000. THIS CAR HAS A DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION AND MORE THAN LIKELY IS PART OF THE DEFECTIVE ISSUES WITH THE TIPM, TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE. (NHTSA ACTION #DP14004)

2013 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN: MANY PROBLEMS HAVE TO DO WITH FAILURE OF TWO VERY IMPORTANT SOFTWARE UPDATES NOT BEING COMPLETED THROUGH AN ACTUAL RECALL BY CHRYSLER. NHTSA INVESTIGATED TIPM-7 WHICH RESULTED IN INCONCLUSIVE FINDINGS; NHTSA NEEDS TO REOPEN INVESTIGATION. MY CAR HAS THREE DEFECTS: TWO DEFECTS ARE DUE TO SOFTWARE UPDATES THAT WERE NEVER PERFORMED. NO RECALL BY CHRYSLER EITHER. THE POWER CONTROL MODULE DEFECT WAS OUTLINED IN CUSTOMER SATISFACTION NOTIFICATION M38: JANUARY 2013. VEHICLE HISTORY SHOWS NO UPDATE. THE 'POOR AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE SHIFT QUALITY' IS DUE TO THE SOFTWARE NOT BEING UPDATED. ALSO HAD TO REPLACE TRANSMISSION. THE BATTERY DYING THREE TIMES AND BEING REPLACED TWICE OVER 6-MONTH PERIOD IS DUE TO THE FOLD AND STOW MODULE (FSM). CHRYSLER COMMUNICATED IN A BULLETIN THAT THE FSM NEEDED TO BE UPDATED WITH NEW SOFTWARE OTHERWISE A DEAD BATTERY WOULD RESULT DUE TO THE FSM 'STAY[ING] AWAKE' (DATED APRIL 23, 2014). VEHICLE HISTORY DOES NOT SHOW SOFTWARE HAD BEEN UPDATED. THE 3RD ISSUE: ENGINE STALL HAS OCCURRED IN DODGE GRAND CARAVANS 2008-2014. NHTSA INVESTIGATED THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE (TIPM) FROM SEPTEMBER 25, 2014 TO JULY 24, 2015: 'THE PETITIONER ALLEGES THAT TIPM DEFECTS MAY RESULT IN ENGINE STALL [...]" ON SEPTEMBER 25, 2014, THE OFFICE OF DEFECTS INVESTIGATION (ODI) OPENED DP14-004 TO EVALUATE THE PETITION [...].' THE FINDINGS WERE 'THE MOST COMMON EFFECT OF THIS DEFECT CONDITION, RELATED TO THE FUEL PUMP RELAY, WAS A NO-START CONCERN, BUT I

LEFT SIDE REAR PASSENGER DOOR STUCK IN THE LOCK POSITION, UNABLE TO OPEN IT NEITHER ELECTRIC OR MANUAL, NEITHER FROM OUTSIDE OR INSIDE. THE ENGINE JUST TURNED ITSELF OFF IN FOUR SEPARATE OCCASIONS, TWICE WHILE CROSSING THE INTERSECTION. GASKETS (Y CONECTOR BETWEEN HOSES) OF THE COOLING SYSTEM BLOWN OFF WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY , TOXIC ANTIFREEZE SPILLED OUT OF THE SYSTEM, DANGEROUS FOR PASSENGERS AND ENVIRONMENT. REAR CALIPERS JAMED BECAUSE OF EXCESSIVE AND UNUSUAL RUST. STEERING WHEEL JAMED FEW TIMES WHILE DRIVING, BEING NECESSARY TO STOP THE CAR, TURNING THE ENGINE OFF AND ON TO BE ABLE TO CONTINUE DRIVING(THIS HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY, AND IN THE CITY, EXTREMELY DANGEROUS). TRANSMISSION SHATTERS IN DIFFERENT STAGES OF DRIVING, BEFORE STOPPING,AFTER STOPPING, WHILE REDUCING THE SPEED OR ACCELERATING.

THE PASSENGER SIDE SLIDING DOOR DOES NOT OPEN. I HAVE FOUR SMALL CHILDREN AND I AM CONCERN THAT IF THEIR AN ACCIDENT I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO GET THEM OUT OF THE AUTOMOBILE. *DT *TR

CATALYTIC CONVERTER WENT OUT LESS THAN A MONTH AFTER I BROUGHT THIS VEHICLE AT ONLY 98K MILES. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON COULDN'T GET VAN INSPECTED. NOW THE FLYWHEEL IS CRACKED AND THAT'S GOING TO COST ME ANOTHER $530.00. I CAN'T FIND ANY RECALLS BUT SEEMS LIKE A LOT IS WRONG WITH THIS VAN AND EVERYTHING IS SO [XXX] EXPENSIVE. PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

RIDERS SIDE HEADREST HAS POPPED FORWARD WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY. DID NOT HIT A BUMP OR ANY OBJECT AS THE ACTIVE HEAD RESTRAINT DEPLOYED ON ITS OWN. NO ONE WAS HURT LUCKILY BUT COULD HAVE BEEN ANOTHER NECK INJURY.

THE VAN TURNS OF WHILE I'M DRIVING, NO WARNING, NOTHING LIT UP ON THE DASH, JUST SHUTS OFF! AFTER SITTING AWHILE IT WILL FINALLY RESTART. HOWEVER TO BE DRIVING AND HAVE IT SHUT OFF IS DANGEROUS! *TR

CAR BATTERY WAS DEAD, WAS ABLE TO JUMP START SEVERAL TIMES, THEN HAD TO 'JUMP IT' EVERYDAY. 04/2018 REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR, STARTER AND BATTERY. 11/2018 CAR WAS DEAD AGAIN, COULD NOT JUMP IT. TOWED TO SERVICE CENTER, TOOK THEM 7 HOURS TO RECHARGE BATTERY, BUT ALL SYSTEMS CHECKED AS NORMAL. CHARGE LASTED 3 DAYS. VAN HAS BEEN TO 2 SEPARATE SERVICE CENTERS WHO CANNOT DIAGNOSE WHY THE BATTERY IS DYING AND TAKES AT LEAST 3 HOURS TO RECHARGE. VEHICLE HAS HAD TO BE TOWED TWICE, CANNOT TAKE MY CHILDREN IN VEHICLE FOR FEAR THEY WILL BE STRANDED IN THE COLD WITH NO HEAT. AFTER VEHICLE WAS CHARGED OVERNIGHT I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT, BUT AFTER SITTING FOR 2 HOURS THE BATTERY WAS DEAD. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO BIG O TIRES TWICE AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE TO DODGE DEALER. NEITHER SERVICE CENTER FOUND ANY REASON FOR THE VEHICLE TO DIE.

2013 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN 76000 MILES. WINDSHIELD WIPERS WONT WORK. I WAS TOLD THIS TIPM IS FAILING AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. DODGE WILL NOT HELP REPLACE OR REPAIR THIS EVEN THOUGH THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE. I WAS TOLD BY A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE.THE TIPM IS THE COMMAND CENTER FOR ALL ELECTRICAL FUNCTIONS. THERE ARE REPORTS OF VEHICLES STALLING WHILE DRIVING, AIR BAG ISSUES, WINDSHIELD WIPER ISSUES, FUEL PUMP ISSUES. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PART TO MALFUNCTION. YET, THEY WILL NOT HELP REPLACE THIS. THERE WAS A LAWSUIT FILED FOR THESE ISSUES. WHY ISN'T THERE A RECALL. MY FAMILY IS BEING PUT IN DANGER! DODGE TOLD ME NOT TO DRIVE IT IF I FEEL ITS UNSAFE. WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO? THIS IS MY VEHICLE THAT I BOUGHT THINKING IT WAS A SAFE RELIABLE VEHICLE. THIS PART IS OVER 1000 TO FIX. PLEASE INVESTIGATE AND RECALL! THIS IS A DEATH TRAP WAITING TO HAPPEN NOT ONLY FOR THOSE DRIVING BUT FOR OTHERS ON THE ROAD. PEOPLE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO POTENTIALLY LOSE THERE LIFES DUE TO A FAULTY PART.

AS MANY HAVE STATED, I HAD INTERMITTENT STALLING. AFTER TAKING IT TO AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP, THEY DIAGNOSED IT WITH HAVING A FAULTY FUEL RELAY AND ARE PUTTING IN A BYPASS KIT. WHY WASN'T THE RECALL EXPANDED TO INCLUDED THE MINIVANS BY CHRYSLER? THE RECALL FOR THIS SPECIFIC DEVICE FAILING WAS DONE FOR DURANGO'S AND CHEROKEE. $700 REPAIR BECAUSE THE MINIVANS WERE NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL DESPITE IT BEING THE SAME ENGINE AS THE DURANGO...

THE ENGINE TURNS OFF WHILE DRIVING WITH NO WARNING. IT CRANKS AFTER THAT, BUT DOESN'T START UNTIL 20 MINUTES OR SO AFTER THE SHUTOFF. IT'S HAPPENED 4 TIMES SO FAR: 4/18/2017 AT 42,770 MILES, 11/15/2017 AT 49,000, 6/25/2018 AT 53,200, AND 8/8/2018 AT 54,650. THE 1ST AND 3RD TIMES THE CAR WAS MAKING, OR HAD JUST COMPLETED, AN EXTENDED HILL CLIMB ON CITY STREETS AND THE GAS TANK LEVEL WAS RELATIVELY LOW. THE 2ND AND 4TH TIMES THE CAR WAS ON THE HIGHWAY ON LEVEL TERRAIN WITH A 3/4 TO FULL GAS TANK. AFTER 1ST OCCURRENCE, TOWED TO LOCAL SHOP AND HE COULD FIND NO ERROR CODE IN THE CAR'S COMPUTER. THEN DROVE IT TO DEALER AND HE KEPT IT OVERNIGHT. DEALER AGREED THAT THERE WERE NO CODES BUT SAID THAT RESTART COULD HAVE ERASED THEM. HE SAID THAT HE COULD NOT MAKE IT HAPPEN IN HIS SHOP AND, THEREFORE, COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. FOR SUBSEQUENT SHUTOFFS WE JUST WAITED THE 20 MINUTES, RESTARTED AND DROVE OFF HOPING IT WOULD NOT RECUR. LUCKILY, WE WERE ABLE TO PULL OFF TO THE SHOULDER WITH NO INCIDENT. WE NOW DRIVE ONLY IN THE RIGHT-HAND LANE AND TRY TO AVOID HIGHWAYS AND LONG-DISTANCE TRIPS. THE CAR IS UNRELIABLE AND DANGEROUS.

HEATING AND AIR CONDITIONING 24-005-16 COVERED 2014-2015 GRAND CARAVANS BUT NOT 2013. NEED TO RE-CALIBRATING OR REPLACING THE HEATING, VENTILATIONS, AIR CONDITIONING BLEND DOOR ACTUATOR. COLD AIR ONE SIDE HOT ON THE OTHER ON AND OFFF

VAN JUST REACHED 100K MILES AND HAS BEEN MAINTAINED & SERVICED & ALL OF A SUDDEN IT HAS STARTED SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING, NO WARNING, NO LIGHTS, JUST SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING.

THE VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY EXPERIENCES INTERRUPTION TO FUEL DELIVERY (?) ON THE STREET, HIGHWAY, AND FREEWAY AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. THIS TYPICALLY HAPPENS WHEN ACCELERATING. THE VAN WILL BE ACCELERATING SMOOTHLY AND THEN, SUDDENLY, LOSE POWER AND ACT LIKE IT IS GOING TO STALL COMPLETELY. IT WILL COUGH AND LURCH AND THEN RESUME ACCELERATING. ON THREE OCCASIONS IT HAS STOPPED ACCELERATING ENTIRELY, FORCING MY SON AND I TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC, WITHOUT POWER STEERING OR BRAKES, AND WAIT UNTIL IT IS READY TO RESUME ACCELERATION. THE FUEL PUMP WAS TESTED AND IS FULLY FUNCTIONAL, AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED A YEAR AGO. ADDITIONALLY, DURING THE TIME PERIODS WHEN IT IS EXHIBITING THIS BEHAVIOR, IT ALSO FAILS TO START ON THE FIRST ATTEMPT. THE IGNITION WILL CRANK CONTINUOUSLY, THE BATTERY HAS POWER, BUT THE ENGINE WILL NOT ENGAGE. THIS HAS BEEN A TEMPORARY/INTERMITTENT ISSUE THAT WOULD 'VANISH' ON REPEATED ATTEMPTS. TODAY IT WILL NOT START AT ALL, LEAVING US STRANDED ONCE AGAIN. THE LAST TIME IT REFUSED TO START ENTIRELY WE WERE AT A REST AREA IN NORTHERN ARIZONA IN 124 DEGREE HEAT FOR HOURS. THIS IS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS AND MECHANICS HAVE TOLD ME THAT IT IS KNOWN TO BE THE TIPM, WHICH IS FAULTY. IF THIS PART IS KNOWN TO BE FAULTY, WHY IS IT NOT RECALLED?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE ABOVE 25 MPH ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO EGOLF FORD OF BREVARD (1235 ASHEVILLE HWY, BREVARD, NC 28712, (828) 884-4151), BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE DEALER DID NOT TEST DRIVE THE VEHICLE AFTER IT WAS SERVICED MORE THAN FOUR TIMES. THE CONTACT STATED THAT DIAGNOSTIC TESTING FOUND 10 FAILURE CODES WHICH HAD NOT BEEN REMEDIED. IN ADDITION, THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR INTERMITTENTLY FLASHED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO SKYLAND AUTO GROUP (255 SMOKEY PARK HIGHWAY, ASHEVILLE, NC 28806, 828-667-5213) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FAILURE WAS ASSOCIATED WITH A FACTORY FAILURE ON SOME VEHICLES IN WHICH THE BOLTS HAD NOT BEEN TORQUED PROPERLY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT DIAGNOSTIC TESTING FOUND TEN FAILURE CODES, WHICH HAD NOT BEEN REMEDIED. THE MANUFACTURER ISSUED BULLETIN NUMBER: S1618000050 ON NOVEMBER 15, 2016. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 89,215. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

WHILE DRIVING AT A STEADY SPEED OF ABOUT 25 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION SUDDENLY DROPPED TO LOW GEAR READING '1' ON THE CONSOLE. THE ENGINE RACED. LATER IN THE DAY THIS TIME AT 35 MPH THE CAR DID THE SAME THING. BOTH INSTANCES CAUSED CAR TO SHUDDER SCARED THE DRIVER. TO GET IT BACK WORKING RIGHT, SHE FOUND SHE HAD TO GET OFF THE ROAD TO PUT IT INTO NEUTRAL, THEN BACK INTO GEAR. THIS CREATES A HAZARDOUS CONDITION WHEN MOVING IN THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC. AFTER THIS, THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP FOR SERVICE. THE SHOP WAS NOT ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND NO ERROR CODES WERE PRESENT. THE SHOP RECOMMENDED UPDATING THE FLASH MEMORY IN THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE. THIS WAS DONE ON 6/6/18 AT THE BURLINGTON DODGE DEALER.

WHILE I AM DRIVING MY CAR IF I HIT A BUMP AND THE KEY MOVES SLIGHTLY THE CAR WILL SHUT OFF AND IF I TOUCH THE KEY ACCIDENTALLY THE CAR WILL SHUT OFF THE MECHANIC SET I NEED A NEW IGNITION SWITCH

VEHICILE IS NOT CHARGING BATTERY

FIRST WINTER IN MONTANA FOR US IN THIS VAN. NOW THE WEATHER IS TURNING WARM. THE FIRST TIME WE USED THE AIR CONDITIONER AND THERE WAS A PROBLEM. THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR DOES NOT SWITCH TO COLD AIR. THIS HALF BLOWS HOT, HOT AIR AT THE SAME TIME THE DRIVERS SIDE BLOWS COLD AIR. I SEE THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON 2014 AND 2012. DIAGNOSTIC SO FAR WILL COST $75.00.

THE CAR ENGINE STOPPED WORKING WHILE I WAS DRIVING IN THE ROAD. THEN IT WOULD START AFTER I CRANK THE KEY. I ALSO NOTED THAT SOME DAYS IT WOULD NOT START WHEN COLD. CONTACTED DEALER AND THEY SAID IF THE ENGINE LIGHT IS NOT ONE THEY CAN'T DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. AFTER SEARCHING THE INTERNET IT LOOKS LIKE MY CAR HAS A FUEL PUMP RELAY ISSUE/TIMP. WE DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE CAR AS IT WAS VERY SCARY TO STOP WITHOUT WARNING IN THE ROAD OR HWY. THIS ISSUE HAPPENED BEFORE ABOUT 6 MONTH AGO AND THE DEALER CHANGED THE TRANSMISSION TORQUE. THE LATEST HAPPENED LAST WEEK

I HAVE INSTALLED A BLUE DRIVER DIAGNOSTICS TOOL TO MY VEHICLE AND REPORTED THAT I HAVE A RECALL FOR MY VEHICLES AIRBAG (PLEASE SEE ATTACHMENT), BUT WHEN I CALLED CHRYSLER/DODGE HELP DESK AND SAID THAT I DON'T HAVE ANY RECALL LISTED IN MY FILE. WHEN I CALLED BLUE DRIVER COMPANY THEY SAID THAT INFORMATION IS CAME FROM CHRYSLER. IT'S SAYS IN THE RECALL INFO (BLUE DRIVER) THAT ITS FREE OF CHARGE, BUT WHEN I CALLED CHRYSLER HELP DESK, THE DEALER WILL CHARGE ME FOR DIAGNOSTICS. I JUST WANT TO KNOW IF THIS RECALL FROM BLUE DRIVER CAR DIAGNOSTIC COMPANY'S RECALL REPORTS AN ACCURATE RECALL INFORMATION, THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE INFORMATION SO THAT IS WHY I'M CONCERN ABOUT IT. HOPE YOU CAN HELP ME. THANKS!
