ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONED, CAUSING THE DOORS AND WINDOWS TO FAIL.

1). NOTICED THAT THE AREA AROUND THE REAR LEFT SIDE OF THE VEHICLE (INTERIOR) GETS HOT. IT IS NOT THE SPEAKER AS THE SPEAKER IS WORKING PROPERLY AND THE AREA GETS HOT EVEN WHEN NOT USING THE RADIO. MY CONCERN IS THAT IS THE SIDE WHERE THE GAS PUMP IS AND HOPING THIS DOESN'T CAUSE A FIRE OR EXPLOSION. OUR 22 MONTH OLD BABY SITS ON THAT SIDE OF THE VAN. 2) NOTICED THAT THERE ARE SCRATCHES ABOVE THE REAR WHEEL HUB ON BOTH SIDES OF THE VAN, FROM BOTH SLIDING DOORS. 3) THERE IS A HARD SHUTTER FROM THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION GOING FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR, WHENEVER THE SPEED HITS 10MPH. THE SHUTTER CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO HAVE A CLUNKING MOTION. 4) WHENEVER I START THE VEHICLE, THE RPMS WILL SHOOT UP AND DOWN AFTER 2 MINUTES, BEFORE GETTING TO NORMAL IDLE. *TR

THE SLIDING DOORS DO NOT HAVE AN AUTOMATIC STOP; WHEN THE KIDS GET IN AND OUT AND THE DOOR CLOSE BUTTON IS PUSHED, THE DOOR KEEPS GOING; EVEN WITH CHILDREN IN/OUT THE DOOR, ITEMS LAYING BETWEEN THE DOOR... I EVEN HAD MY HAND IN THE DOOR FOR TESTING AND THE DOOR WILL NOT STOP; IT WILL KEEP MOVING FORWARD TO CLOSE. WHAT A SAFETY ISSUE ESPECIALLY FOR A MINI VAN THAT IS DESIGNED FOR KIDS IN AND OUT. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY
THE VAN WAS PARKED AND I HAD THE PASSENGER REAR SIDE DOOR OPEN. I USED THE PUSH BUTTON FEATURE TO CLOSE THE DOOR AND REALIZED I HAD FORGOT SOMETHING ON THE FLOOR. I REACHED IN AND GRABBED IT AND THE DOOR HIT MY ARM AND INSTEAD OF STOPPING AND OPENING AGAIN IT CONTINUED TO CLOSE AND MY ARM WAS CAUGHT IN THE DOOR. THE DOOR DIDN'T STOP CLOSING UNTIL I REACHED OUT WITH MY LEFT HAND AND GRABBED THE HANDLE AND PULLED IT OFF OF MY ARM. MY ARM WAS BRUISED AND HAS BEEN SORE SINCE IT HAPPENED. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THE DOOR HASN'T RESPONDED AND RE-OPENED WHEN SOMETHING WAS IN THE WAY. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME ANYONE WAS INJURED. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
WE OWNED A 2008 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN AND AT 59,000 MILES, IT NOT ONLY NEED NEW BRAKE PADS (WHICH WOULD BE NORMAL), BUT TO OUR SURPRISE IT NEEDED NEW ROTORS AS THE ORIGINAL ONES WERE SO WARPED THEY COULD NOT BE USED FOR THE NEW BRAKE PADS. WE WERE INFORMED THAT THE MANUFACTURER HAD ADDED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THE ROTORS AND WOULD BE COVERED UNDER THEIR EXTENDED WARRANTY. AFTER HAVING OTHER ISSUES WITH THE VAN, THE LIFE LONG DEALER WE WORK WITH TALKED US INTO TRADING FOR A 2011 DODGE CARAVAN, ASSURING THAT THE BRAKE AND ROTOR ISSUE HAD BEEN RESOLVED. IT HAS BEEN ONE YEAR AND THE NEW VAN NEEDED NEW BRAKES AND ROTORS AT ONLY 19,900. I WAS INFORMED THAT DODGE/CHRYSLER ADDED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY (ONCE AGAIN), BUT THIS TIME I GOT TO PAY A DEDUCTIBLE OF $50 (0-24,000 MILES). IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN BEFORE 36,000 MILES MY DEDUCTIBLE GOES UP. WHAT, I GET TO PAY FOR THEIR POOR PARTS PURCHASING? I HAVE INFORMED THE DEALER THAT THIS WILL BE THE LAST DODGE/CHRYSLER PRODUCT I WILL OWN. THEY HAVE TRIED TO TAKE CARE OF US, BUT WITH NO ASSISTANCE FROM THE MANUFACTURER. TOO BAD THAT THEY DO NOT WANT TO PROVIDE A QUALITY PRODUCT FOR CUSTOMERS AS THIS VAN IS A GREAT FAMILY VEHICLE, BUT WOULD HESITATE TO PUT MY GRANDCHILDREN IN IT. *TR

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
WHEN VEHICLE IS STARTED, ENGINE RPMS SURGE UP AND DOWN, WILL NOT SETTLE FOR ABOUT 1-2 MINUTES. SOMETIMES IT WILL CAUSE CAR TO LAUNCH FORWARD AND CONTINUE TO KICK FORWARD UNINTENDED ONCE SHIFTED INTO "D" I HAVE TAKEN VEHICLE TO SEVERAL DEALERS, ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. THEY HAVE DONE NUMEROUS REPAIRS, BUT UNABLE TO FIND A FIX. PROBLEM HAS PROGRESSED TO MISFIRE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHICH CAUSES A VIOLENT SHAKE UNTIL I MANUALLY DOWNSHIFT (WITH ELECTRIC SHIFTER) I HAVE MADE FORMAL COMPLAINTS TO CHRYSLER, BUT NO CALL BACKS. DEALER HAS FOUND CODES P0300, AND P0301 PENDING, STORED, AND ACTIVE ON VARIOUS TIMES. ACCORDING TO CHRYSLER MASTER TECH, CHRYSLER KNOWS OF DEFECT AND EFFECTS EARLY 3.6 PENTASTAR ENGINE, BUT HASN'T FOUND A FIX. WHAT MAKES THIS A SAFETY CONCERN, IS THAT I TO MERGE ON THE HIGHWAY, OR PASS A VEHICLE, I HAVE TO RACE THE ENGINE, AND HOPE THE ENGINE DOESN'T FAIL OR SHUT OFF. CURRENTLY, IM AWAITING ANOTHER APPOINTMENT WITH CHRYSLER, BUT KNOWING THERE ISN'T A FORMAL SOLUTION HAS ME CONCERN FOR THE SAFETY OF MY CHILDREN AS I DRIVE THEM AROUND. *JS

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
WHEN STARTING, THE ENGINE OCCASIONALLY MAKES A RATTLING NOISE AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND AFTER STATING THAT NO CODES WERE CAPTURED, THEY CLEARED THE CODE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN SO I TOOK IT BACK AND THEY REPLACED THE CAM POSITION SENSOR, WHICH THEY SAID WOULD FIX IT. IT DIDN'T AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CONTINUES TO COME ON WITH A RATTLING AT THE START WHICH NOW OCCURS MORE FREQUENTLY. NOW THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON AT THE START AND OCCASIONALLY WHEN DRIVING AT ROAD SPEEDS AND DRY CONDITIONS. THE VAN LOSES POWER AND IS SLOW TO ACCELERATE. I HAVE TO PULL OVER WHEN DRIVING, OR IF IT OCCURS AT STARTING, I HAVE TO SHUT THE VAN DOWN AND RESTART THE VAN AND THIS CORRECTS THE PROBLEM. THE NEXT TIME IT OCCURS, I WILL JUST DRIVE IT TO THE DEALER AND SHOW THEM BECAUSE THEY DON'T SEEM TO BELIEVE ME OR THEY TELL ME THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. I SEE THAT I AM NOW NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT THIS IS HAPPENING TOO. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, POWER TRAIN, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON IN EARLY DECEMBER. DEALER RESET THE ERROR CODE AND SAID IT WAS PROBABLY NOTHING. LIGHT CAME BACK ON A FEW DAYS LATER SO WE BROUGHT BACK TO THE DEALER - THE CONSULTED WITH CHRYSLER AND REPLACED THE CAM PHASERS AND SAID THAT SHOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. WITHIN A COUPLE OF DAYS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT BOTH CAME ON AND THE CAR LOST ALL ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AT 70MPH, GAS PEDAL TO THE GROUND DID NOTHING AND CAR COASTED TO 50MPH BEFORE IT WOULD LURCH FORWARD AND COAST BACK DOWN AND EVENTUALLY CORRECTED ITSELF BUT LIGHTS REMAINED ON. DEALER CONSULTED WITH CHRYSLER AGAIN AND THEY REPLACED THE CAM PHASER SENSORS AND SAID THAT SHOULD FIX IT. WITHIN A FEW DAYS SAME THING HAPPENED, DRIVING ON HIGHWAY, CHECK ENGINE AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT TURNED ON AND CAR LOST ALL ACCELERATION AND COASTED DOWN TO 50MPH AND WOULD LURCH FORWARD AND THEN COST DOWN - RPMS WOULDN'T GO ABOVE 1300RPM AND COULDN'T GET ACCELERATION BACK. TOOK CAR BACK TO DEALER (FORTUNATELY WAS ONLY A FEW MILES FROM THE DEALER) AND THEY HAD IT FOR 2 WEEKS AND CHRYSLER RECOMMENDED REPLACING BOTH WIRING HARNESSES AND THAT SHOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. WITHIN A WEEK, SAME PROBLEM, DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AT 70MPH - CHECK ENGINE AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON, NO ABILITY TO ACCELERATE OR MAINTAIN SPEED, CAR COASTED DOWN TO 50MPH AND WOULD LURCH FORWARD AND COST BACK DOWN. RETURNING CAR TO DEALER AGAIN (MID FEBRUARY). QUITE DANGEROUS TO (REPEATEDLY) LOOSE ACCELERATION AND WITH NO ABILITY TO MAINTAIN SPEED WHEN DRIVING AT 70MPH ON A HIGHWAY. *TR

POWER TRAIN
VEHICLE ROLLS FORWARD WITHOUT STOPPING WHEN IN REVERSE & THE BRAKE IS RELEASED & ON A SHALLOW INCLINE, WITHOUT ACCELERATING (VEHICLE NOSE DOWN SLOPE). TWO DAYS AFTER HAVING MY 2011 GRAND CARAVAN, WHICH I PARK IN MY DRIVEWAY THAT HAS AN ANGLE OF APPRX. 15-20 DEGREES & THE VEHICLE IS PARKED NOSE DOWN SLOPE TOWARD MY HOME & GARAGE. THE FIRST INDICATION OF A PROBLEM WAS ON ENTERING THE DRIVEWAY AND SHIFTING INTO "PARK", THE VEHICLE ROLLED FORWARD 6"-8" INCHES. THIS ISSUE STARTED 2 DAYS AFTER HAVING THE VEHICLE. PRIOR TO THE VEHICLE ROLLING FORWARD ALL VEHICLE OPERATIONS SEEMED NORMAL, THERE WAS HARDLY ANY ROLL AT ALL (1"-3" IN.) WHEN "PARK" WAS ENGAGED. THE NEXT CLUE OF A PROBLEM WAS THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD SHUDDER WHEN ACCELERATING IN "REVERSE" & AT LOW SPEED. THIS PROBLEM DOES NOT HAPPEN EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE IS REVERSING, BUT HAS BECOME MORE FREQUENT. WHILE DRIVING NOISE HAS BEEN DETECTED FROM SOMEWHERE BENEATH THE VEHICLE, BUT IS NOT HEARD FREQUENTLY, ONLY 2-3 TIMES. THE WORST ISSUE PRESENT IS WHEN THE SELECTOR IS PLACED IN "REVERSE" AND I REMOVE MY FOOT FROM THE BRAKE, WITHOUT ACCELERATING, THE VEHICLE CONTINUALLY ROLLS FORWARD WITHOUT STOPPING. IF THE VEHICLE IS IN "REVERSE" AND BEING ACCELERATED UP THE INCLINE AND I REMOVE MY FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR THE VEHICLE WILL ROLL FORWARD DOWN SLOPE WITHOUT STOPPING. THE CLOSEST COMPARISON IS THAT IT FEELS LIKE DRIVING A VEHICLE WITH A MANUAL/STANDARD TRANSMISSION. IT SEEMS THAT THE TRANSMISSION ISSUES IS GETTING WORSE AND I'VE ONLY HAD THE VEHICLE SINCE 14 OCTOBER 2011 AND FOR 772 MILES. THESE ISSUES HAVE BEEN BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION OF THE DEALERSHIP & THEIR SERVICE DEPT. & TO THE CHRYSLER, DODGE, JEEP CASE MANAGEMENT DEPT. I HAVE CONTINUALLY BEEN LIED TO BY BOTH DEPARTMENTS AND CALLS TO CASE MGMT. IGNORED/NOT RETURNED. MY FAMILY & I FEEL VERY UNSAFE IN THIS VEHICLE & HAVE LOST ALL TRUST IN DODGE. *TR
