ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY/WIPER
WHILE MY VEHICLE WAS PARKED AT A CAMPGROUND, I CLICK MY KEY FOB TO UNLOCK THE DOOR AND THE REAR WINDSHIELD WIPER STARTED GOING OFF. TRIED TO START THE VEHICLE AND IT WOULD NOT START, NO LIGHTS NOTHING COMPLETELY DEAD. THE WIPER EVENTUALLY STOPPED. A FEW HOURS LATER, STILL PARKED WITH NO KEYS IN IT, THE WINDSHIELD WIPER FLUID AND WIPERS STARTED AFTER I CLICKED THE UNLOCK BUTTON ON THE KEY FOB AGAIN. THE FLUID KEPT SHOOTING UNTIL IT RAN OUT OF FLUID. THEN A FEW HOURS LATER WITH AGAIN NO KEYS IN IT OR KEY FOB USE THE HORN BEGAN BLARING. THEN THE LIGHTS AND WIPERS WENT OFF AS WELL. FINALLY I WAS ABLE TO GET THE BATTERY DISCONNECTED AND IT STOPPED. I RECONNECTED THE BATTERY TWO HOURS LATER ONLY TO ROLL UP MY WINDOWS AND THE HORN IMMEDIATELY STARTED GOING OFF. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP DOWN THE STREET AND I AM NOW WAITING ON THE RESULTS. I'M GLAD MY FAMILY WAS NOT WITH AND/ OR I WAS DRIVING. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
VEHICLE STARTED ACCELERATING UNINTENTIONALLY WITH ENGINE GOING TO HIGH RPM. DRIVER WAS DRIVING AT 45 MPH AS VEHICLE RANDOMLY TOOK OFF. VEHICLE REACHED CLOSE TO 85 MPH WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL PRESSED TO THE FLOOR. DRIVER AVOIDED A NEAR COLLISION WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE. DRIVER TURNED THE IGNITION OFF IN ORDER TO STOP THE VEHICLE. VEHICLE HAD TWO PEOPLE INSIDE DURING THE INCIDENT AND TWO WITNESSES FOLLOWING THE VEHICLE BEHIND, IN ANOTHER CAR. WITNESSES DESCRIBED SEEING THE DODGE CARAVAN TAKE OFF SUDDENLY BEYOND THE LEGAL SPEED LIMIT, WITH SMOKE POURING OUT FROM THE BRAKES AND THE BRAKE LIGHTS ON. DRIVER DESCRIBED THAT HE FELT THE THROTTLE PEDAL PHYSICALLY STUCK AND THE VEHICLE'S RPM INCREASING, EVEN WHILE PRESSING AND PUMPING ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. AFTER THIS INCIDENT AND DOING SOME RESEARCH, WE HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINS ONLINE WITH SIMILAR SITUATIONS. THE DODGE CARAVAN, IN THIS INCIDENT, DOES NOT HAVE ANY AFTERMARKET FLOOR MATS AS DODGE CLAIMS TO BE THE CAUSE OF UNINTENTIONAL ACCELERATION IN SIMILAR OCCURRENCES THAT HAVE BEEN REPORTED TO DODGE. THE DRIVER, PASSENGER, AND THE WITNESS ARE WILLING TO MAKE A STATEMENT, IF NECESSARY. *TR

ENGINE
THE ENGINE KEEPS ON SHUTTING OFF WHILE I AM DRIVING. THE FIRST TIME I WAS BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY. IT SOUNDED LIKE THE KEY POPPED OUT BUT IT WAS STILL IN THE IGNITION. THE SECOND TIME I WAS JUST PULLING OFF TO DRIVE. I WAS GOING UNDER 10 MPH AND I HIT A BUMP AND THE ENGINE JUST TURNED OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THE THIRD TIME I WAS DRIVING DOWN A RESIDENTIAL ROAD GOING ABOUT 30 MPH AND THE ENGINE JUST TURNED OFF AGAIN. SO DANGEROUS. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
SINCE I CAN'T REMEMBER THE DATES OF THE OTHER INCIDENTS I WILL START WITH YESTERDAY JUNE 25, 2014. I DROVE ALL MORNING RUNNING HERE AND THERE AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE. I STOPPED AT THE POST OFFICE TO MAIL A PACKAGE AND COULD NOT RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE VAN ENGINE DID NOT EVEN TURN OVER. THE DASH IS BLANK EXCEPT FOR THE MILEAGE. I CALLED AAA FOR A TOW AND THEY FOUND THAT THE VAN WAS STUCK IN PARK AND WOULD NOT BUDGE OUT OF PARK. SO IT IS STILL AT THE POST OFFICE UNTIL WE CAN FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET IT OUT OF PARK. OTHER ISSUES. A FEW MONTHS AGO, IN THE WINTER OF 2013, THE VAN WAS IN MY GARAGE AND IT WOULD NOT START. I THOUGHT IT WAS THE BATTERY AND SO I TURNED OFF THE RADIO AND HEAT AND TRIED IT AGAIN AND IT STARTED. THIS HAPPENED EVERY MORNING WITH ME TAKING MY CHILD TO SCHOOL FOR ABOUT A WEEK. IT NEVER DID IT FOR MY HUSBAND. I THINK I TOLD THE DEALER ABOUT IT ON MY NEXT OIL CHANGE VISIT, BUT THEY SAID THEY CAN ONLY CHECK IT WHEN IT IS HAPPENING. ANOTHER TIME LAST SUMMER (2013), THE HORN, AND WIPERS AND WIPER FLUID JUST STARTED GOING OFF BY THEMSELVES AS I TRIED TO START THE VAN. I TOOK THE KEY OUT AND PRESSED THE DOOR OPEN AND LOCK BUTTONS TO SEE IF IT WOULD STOP AND IT DID. I TRIED TO START THE VAN AGAIN AND IT DID IT AGAIN. REPEATED THE SAME OPEN AND LOCK PROCEDURE AND IT STOPPED. I WAITED A FEW MINUTES TO START THE VAN AND IT DID NOT DO IT AGAIN. THE FOLLOWING DAY AS I WAS DRIVING ON A BUSY ROAD, HIGHWAY 278, IT DID IT AGAIN. I HAD TO PULL OVER AND I TURNED OFF THE VAN DID THE OPEN AND LOCK BUTTON ON THE KEY AND IT STOPPED. OF COURSE IT NEVER REPEATED FOR MY HUSBAND OR EVER AGAIN. *TR

MY FATHER HAS A 2008 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN AND ON MAY 14 2014 HE WENT SHOPPING STOPPING AT 3 DIFFERENT PLACES AND THEN RETURNED HOME PICKED UP THE MAIL AND DROVE TO THE TOP OF THE DRIVEWAY. HE PUT THE VAN IN PARK AND SHUT IT OFF HE GOT OUT AND WALKED OVER TO MY MOM AND HANDED HER THE PAPER THEN HE TURNED AROUND AND WALKED BACK TO THE CAR AND REACHED OVER THE SEAT TO GET THE REST OF THE MAIL WHEN THE CAR STARTED ROLLING BACKWARDS DRAGGING HIM WITH IT FOR AROUND 30 FEET AND THEN HITTING THE PORCH ON THE HOUSE NEXT DOOR. HE WAS PINNED UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE AND MY SON WAS HOME AT THE TIME AND CALLED 911. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT AND AMBULANCES CAME AND THEY HAD TO USE AIR BAG PUMPS AND WOODEN BLOCKS TO GET THE CAR OFF OF HIM. HE WAS RUSHED TO THE HOSPITAL WITH A CRUSHED LEG AND CUTS TO THE BONE. HE HAD TO HAVE SURGERY ON HIS LEG AND HE WAS IN THERE FOR 4 DAYS AND THEN THEY SENT HIM TO A REHAB FOR HIS INJURIES. THEN HE CAME HOME AFTER 2 WEEKS AND THEN 8 DAYS AFTER WITH THE HOME HEALTH NURSES CHECKING ON HIM AND CHANGING BANDAGES IT GOT A MASSIVE INFECTION SO HE ENDED BACK IN A DIFFERENT HOSPITAL FOR ANOTHER SURGERY THIS TIME THEY REMOVED ALL OF HIS SKIN ON HIS LEG IN THE FRONT ON THE AFFECTED AREAS TO THE BONE AND MUSCLE. HE NOW HAS A PHONY SKIN GRAFT ON THE OPEN HOLES THAT ARE AT LEAST A QUARTER OF AN INCH DEEP AND HE HAS TO GO TO THE WOUND CENTER ONCE A WEEK UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE AND ALSO THE HOME HEALTH NURSES ARE NOW BACK EVERY OTHER DAY TO KEEP AN EYE ON IT AND CHANGE BANDAGES MY MOTHER IS SO DISGUSTED NO ONE WILL LISTEN TO HER WE TOLD THE STATE POLICE WHO CAME THAT DAY THAT THE CAR WAS IN PARK AND AFTER ROLLING BACK 30 FEET WAS LOCKED IN PARK AND WOULD NOT COME OUT BUT THE STEERING WHEEL AND TIRES WERE STILL TURNING. HE ADMITTED THAT YES THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THIS CAR BUT THAT IS AS FOR AS IT WENT. ALSO WHEN WE CALLED GEICO WE TOLD THEM THE WHOLE STORY. *TR

THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN INTERMITTENT AND GETTING WORSE. SOMETIMES IT HAPPENS WHEN WE' DRIVING AND SOMETIMES WHEN IT'S PARKED WITH THE ENGINE OFF.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY/WIPER, STEERING
PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE 6/30/2012 1ST INCIDENT 8/2012 DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH AT NIGHT IN WOODED AREA SO IT WAS PITCH BLACK AND HEADLIGHTS SHUT OFF, WIPERS RUNNING AND SPRAYING FLUID, HORN STARTED BLARING, OUTSIDE LIGHTS WENT CRAZY, GAUGES WENT NUTS, AND POWER STEERING WENT OUT. PULLED OVER WHEN WE WERE ABLE (TWO LANE ROAD W/NO SHOULDERS) AND AFTER A FEW MINUTES WENT BACK TO NORMAL AND RAN JUST FINE. THE SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED WAS IN 10/2012 BASICALLY SAME THING WAS RETURNING FROM SON'S FOOTBALL GAME ON A FRIDAY NIGHT AT MIDNIGHT AND HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT, WIPERS GOING CRAZY, AND HORN BLARING, LIGHTS GOING OFF. DIDN'T DO IT AGAIN FOR AWHILE THEN SINCE 3/2013 ABOUT EVERY 2 TO 3 WEEKS WE HAVE THIS SAME ISSUE, VAN CAN BE SITTING IN DRIVE AND STILL DOES IT. I HAVE HAD MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS WHEN THIS HAS HAPPENED AND IT SCARES US ALL TO DEATH. WE HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT FROM BEHIND ON MORE THAN ONE OF THESE OCCASIONS WHEN POWER STEERING WENT OUT WHILE MAKING A TURN, (IT SLOWED THE VEHICLE DOWN TO MANUALLY TURN IT) WHICH I COULD BARELY DO, AND ALMOST RECEIVED A TICKET FOR FAULTY EQUIPMENT DUE TO THE BRAKE AND REVERSE LIGHTS GOING OFF ON THEIR OWN (COP GAVE ME A WARNING THIS TIME) AFTER LOOKING UP THE ISSUE AND TALKING TO A MECHANIC IT IS A FAULTY TIPM (TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE), WHICH BY THE WAY HAS BEEN ON "BACKORDER" FOR MORE THAN 18 MONTHS CAUSE I'VE BEEN CALLING ON IT SINCE 10/2012. I HAVE RESEARCHED AND APPARENTLY THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE, THERE ARE OVER 200 OF THE 420 COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE ABOUT THIS VERY ISSUE AND THOUSANDS MORE ONLINE, YET THERE HAS NOT EVEN BEEN AN INVESTIGATION? I GUESS THE NHTSA IS NOT AS CONCERNED ABOUT SAFETY AS THEY CLAIM TO BE! THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL DONE FOR THIS MODEL AND THE YEARS AFFECTED FOR THE FAULTY PART THAT'S GOING TO END UP WITH SOMEONE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR DEAD! *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING, ENGINE
AS I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM THE STORE THIS MORNING, I WAS TAKING A TURN ONTO MY STREET WHEN THE ENGINE SHUT OFF AND I LOST POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. I WAS BARELY ABLE TO MUSCLE THE STEERING WHEEL TO COMPLETE THE REST OF THE TURN AND AVOID HITTING ANOTHER CAR THAT WAS TURNING TO GO THE WAY THAT I WAS COMING FROM. THE LADY IN THE OTHER CAR WAS LOOKING AT ME IN FEAR WITH HER ARMS RAISED LIKE "WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?" I TRIED TO TURN THE ENGINE ON SEVERAL TIMES WITH NO LUCK AS I COASTED DOWN MY STREET FORCEFULLY PUMPING THE BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN AND STOP IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE. ONCE I TOOK THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION AND TRIED TO RESTART THE ENGINE, IT STARTED. I DID SOME RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH OTHER MODELS AS WELL. THERE IS EVEN A RECALL ON DODGE GRAND CARAVANS THAT WERE MANUFACTURED FROM 3 AUGUST 2009 TO 17 JUNE 2010 FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM. I HAVE READ ON THIS WEBSITE AND MANY OTHERS THAT THIS ISSUE EXISTS OUTSIDE THESE DATES THOUGH AND THAT THE DODGE COMPANY IS NOT DOING ANYTHING. I HAVE NOT CONSULTED WITH MY DEALERSHIP YET BUT I AM HOPEFUL BECAUSE THEY SEEM TO BE GREAT PEOPLE. WHATEVER THE CASE, I DO NOT FEEL SAFE HAVING MY WIFE DRIVE MY CHILDREN AROUND. I DO NOT FEEL AS IF SHE WOULD BE ABLE TO MUSCLE THE STEERING WHEEL WITHOUT POWER STEERING DURING A TURN IN THE EVENT THAT THE CAR TURNED OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF A TURN AS IT DID TO ME. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AND THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUED TO ENCOMPASS ALL THE YEARS THAT ARE AFFECTED AND NOT JUST THE ONES WHERE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN KILLED. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY, ENGINE
PASSENGER SIDE REAR SLIDING DOOR LOCKS AND WILL NOT UNLOCK WITH KEY FOB OR UNLOCK BUTTON ON BOTH FRONT DOORS. IT ALSO WILL NOT OPEN WITH A PULL ON THE INSIDE DOOR HANDLE. YOU HAVE TO MANUALLY UNLOCK IT ON THAT DOOR BEFORE IT WILL OPEN. I THINK THIS WOULD CAUSE A ISSUE IF I EVER NEED TO GET MY KIDS OUT IN A HURRY! ALSO THIS VAN HAS 30000 MILES ON IT AND IT USES APPROXIMATELY 1-1/2 QUART OF OIL EVERY 1000 MILES. ITS NOT SHOWING ANY SIGHS OF LEAKING ANYWHERE IN THE ENGINE OR UNDER THE VAN AND NOT LEAVING ANY PUDDLES ANYWHERE. I ASKED THE DODGE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THIS WAS NORMAL FOR A DODGE VEHICLE.... IN MY EYES THAT SHOULD NOT BE USING THAT MUCH OIL. I AM USING WHAT IS REQUIRED 10W20 SAE ACCORDING TO ME OWNERS MANUAL. I HAVE REPLACED THE PCV VALVE AND STILL CONTINUING TO LOOSE OIL. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, STEERING, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
WIFE WAS DRIVING AROUND 40 MPH WHEN TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON AND SHE LOST POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. SHE WAS FINALLY ABLE TO STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION, LUCKILY THERE WAS NO CAR COMING. SHE THEN TURNED THE VAN OFF AND RESTARTED AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE. SHE SAID SHE IS NEVER DRIVING IT AGAIN BECAUSE IT IS UNSAFE. LAST YEAR WE HAD THE TIPM REPLACED AFTER THE SEEMINGLY COMMON PROBLEM OF HORN HONKING, WINDSHIELD WIPERS GOING AND SOLVENT SPRAYING RANDOMLY SEVERAL TIMES. NOT SURE HOW CHRYSLER CAN GET AWAY WITH HAVING ALL OF THESE LIFE ENDANGERING ISSUES WITHOUT HAVING RECALLS AND FIXING THEM. BUT WHAT I DO KNOW IS WE WILL NEVER BUY A CHRYSLER PRODUCT AGAIN. *TR
