EVERYTHING TO DO WITH THE BRAKING SYSTEM NEEDS TO BE RECALLED INCLUDING THE SENSORS. 2018,2019,2020 I HAD TO REPLACE BRAKES, CALIPERS, ROTORS, AND HUB ASSEMBLY MULTIPLE TIMES. THIS IS NOT NORMAL TO KEEP REPLACES THESE PARTS. MANY PEOPLE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM AND I SURE MANY OTHERS WILL. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THIS.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
THE VAN WILL SHUT OFF AT RANDOM TIMES WHILE DRIVING AT SLOWER SPEEDS, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU'RE SITTING AND ABOUT TO TURN. AT RANDOM TIMES WHEN YOU PUT IN REVERSE, VAN SHUTS OFF. TAKES 8-10 TIMES TO GET IT TO STAY CRANKED. WARNING LIGHTS KEPT BLINKING ABOUT 4 YEARS AGO ON LONG TRIP, SO STOPPED IN PADUCAH, KY AND DODGE DEALERSHIP CHANGED CRANK SENSOR. WAS OK FOR ABOUT 200 MILES ON WAY HOME, BUT STILL SHUTS OFF. WITH MECHANIC AS WE SPEAK AND CHANGED EGR VALVE AND DIDN'T WORK, STILL SHUTS OFF. MECHANIC STILL HAS IT AND TRYING OTHER THINGS. DODGE KNOWS IT'S A PROBLEM, SO WHY WON'T THEY FIX IT. IT'S SO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE, SO I'M THE ONLY ONE IN THE FAMILY WHO DRIVES IT. WON'T SHUT OFF AT HIGH SPEEDS ON HWY, BUT ON A LONG TRIP, LAST SUMMER, IT DID LOSE POWER AND WENT FROM 70 MPH TO ABOUT 40 MPH...DANGEROUS!!

I JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE SO UNSURE OF THE DATES THAT HAPPENED. THE PASSENGER SLIDING POWER DOOR WILL NOT OPEN, IT APPEARS TO BE LOCKED SHUT. ALSO THE RADIATOR HOSES BUSTED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. THIS HAPPENED PRIOR TO 150K MILES, AND IS NOT ADVISED IN OWNERS MANUAL FOR REPLACEMENT. I HAVE SEEN MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ONLINE FOR THESE DOORS BEING LOCKED SHUT AND UNABLE TO BE OPENED. IF SOMEONE WERE TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT OR HAVE AN EMERGENCY THEY COULD NOT GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE.I DONT EVEN THINK IT CAN BE REPAIRED IN SHUT POSITION. IS THERE A RECALL FOR THIS YET?

MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING OUR 2010 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN DOWN A RESIDENTIAL STREET WHEN SUDDENLY IN TRAFFIC THE VEHICLE IGNITION SHUT OFF. BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS GOING 30MPH IT DIDN'T JUST STOP AND HE COULD NO LONGER CONTROL IT. THE VAN HIT THE BACK OF ANOTHER VEHICLE AT FULL SPEED CAUSING THE AIR BAGS TO DEPLOY IN THE VAN. NO ONE THANKFULLY WAS HURT BUT OUR VEHICLE HAS BEEN DECLARED A TOTAL LOSS. WE HAVE CONTACTED MOPAR SINCE THE ACCIDENT OCCURRED ON 3/18/2020 AND HAVE RECEIVED THE RUNAROUND. BECAUSE THE IGNITION JUST CUT OFF WE CONTACTED A DODGE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE VIN NUMBER CHECKED AND WERE INFORMED OF THE OPEN RECALL THAT CAN CAUSE EXACTLY WHAT OCCURRED WITH OUR VEHICLE. WE WERE DIRECTED BY THE DEALERSHIP TO CONTACT MOPAR. WE JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE AT AN AUCTION IN JANUARY 2020 WE WERE NEVER NOTIFIED ABOUT A RECALL ON THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE RECALL NUMBER IS R03.

NOTICED THAT MY IGNITION AREA WAS LOSE AND THAT WHEN THE KEY WAS PLACED IN TO IT THE KEY WOULD BE VERY LOSE AND WAS EASILY ABLE TO SLIDE OUT OF IGNITION HOLE. ALSO THE CAR WOULD TURN OFF UNLESS I HOLD THE KEY IN PLACE OR WHEN I DRIVE THE SMALLEST BUMP WOULD KNOCK OUT THE KEY A LITTLE BIT AND THE CAR WOULD CUT OFF, SOMETIMES I COULD PUSH IT BACK IN AND IT WOULD CUT THE CAR RIGHT BACK ON HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN MANY TIMES ON THE EXPRESSWAY OR HIGHWAY. A LOT OF THE TIME I HAVE TO DRIVE HOLDING THE KEY INTO THE IGNITION BUT IF I MOVE MY HAND WRONG THE CAR CUTS OFF IN MID DRIVE

DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AT 70MPH. THE CAR TURNED OFF AND THE "TRACTION CONTROL" IDIOT LIGHT TURNED ON. I MANAGED TO STRUGGLE TO GET IT OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY (I-294 IN CHICAGO IS NOT EASY!) AND PUT THE CAR IN PARK. WITH THE CAR IN PARK, I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR AND CONTINUE ON OUR TRIP. THIS IS THE 3RD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED SINCE NOVEMBER 2019.
