ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
TWO THINGS HAPPENING OCCASIONALLY...1ST IS THAT SOMETIMES I ATTEMPT TO START THE VAN AND WHEN I TURN THE KEY NOTHING HAPPENS AS IF I DIDN'T EVEN TRY TO TURN THE KEY. ONE TIME JUST BEFORE THIS HAPPENED I COULD NOT USE THE KEY FAB TO UNLOCK THE DOOR TO THE VAN, ALMOST LIKE THE BATTERY TO THE VAN OR FAB WAS DEAD, HOWEVER BOTH WERE NEW OR FINE. AFTER PULLING FAB OUT OF IGNITION AND TRYING A SECOND TIME VAN HAS ALWAYS STARTED WITHOUT INCIDENT. 2ND ISSUE IS THAT ON A FEW SPREAD OUT OCCASIONS THE VAN WILL QUIT SHIFTING GEARS WHILE EXCELLERATING CAUSING THE RPM'S TO REV DANGEROUSLY. SO FAR AFTER GETTING TO A SAFE PLACE AND TURNING THE VAN OFF AND RESTARTING HAS CLEARED THE ISSUE...HOWEVER IS UNCLEAR WHAT IS CAUSING AND IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN YOU ARE ON THE HIGHWAY BEFORE YOU REALIZE WHATS HAPPENING.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE KEY FOB LOCKS THE CAR IF LIGHTLY BUMPED. THE DANGER IS LEAVING THE KEYS IN THE CAR AND CLOSING A DOOR WHICH TRIGGERS THE LOCK. THIS COULD LOCK ONE OUT IN FREEZING WEATHER OR LOCK A CHILD IN THE VAN WHEN PARKED AND CLOSING THE DRIVERS DOOR THEN TRYING TO OPEN THE REAR DOOR TO GET A CHILD OUT. I SPOKE TO MY OFFICE EMPLOYEE AND SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH DODGE KEY FOBS HAPPEN TO HER AND A FRIEND.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
I HAVE A 2010 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN WITH THE 4.0 LITER MOTOR, 6 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. MY VAN JUST PASSED 119,000 MILES AND IT JUST STARTED TO SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 30-40 MPH, ON CITY STREETS. THIS IS A MAJOR CONCERN AS I TRANSPORT MY CHILDREN AROUND. I HAVE NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AND I HOPE NOT TO ANYTIME SOON. I'VE BEEN READING FORUMS ONLINE AND MANY CHRYSLER OWNERS ARE SAYING IT COULD BE ANYTHING FROM THE EGR VALVE, TO THE IGNITION SWITCH AND EVEN BAD BATTERY. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS NOT ON SO NO CODES TO DECODE. PLEASE FIX THIS MAJOR PROBLEM BEFORE PEOPLE GET HURT DRIVING THESE VEHICLES

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
WHILE DRIVING THE 2010 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN IT WILL JUST SHUT DOWN. WHILE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM I FOUND 2 RECALLS FOR ELECTRICAL ISSUES BOTH HAVING TO DO WITH THE VEHICLE SHUTTING DOWN WHILE DRIVING. WHEN I ENTERED MY VIN IT SHOWED ONE THAT NEEDED THE IGNITION AND FOBS REPLACED. WE TOOK IT TO OUR LOCAL DEALER TRI-STAR OF INDIANA AND THEY SAY THE RECALL WAS COMPLETED IN JUNE OF 2016. I CAN'T FIND ANY PAPERWORK ON THIS AND IT STILL SHOWS UP. EVEN IF IT WAS DONE, IT'S OBVIOUS IT NEEDS DONE AGAIN BECAUSE THEIR REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE DEFECTIVE JUST LIKE THE ONES THEY REPLACED. I ALREADY INFORMED THEM IF ANYTHING HAPPENS TO MY FAMILY OR ME WHILE DRIVING THIS, THEY WILL BE THE FIRST NAMES ON THE LAW SUIT THE DODGE FOR NOT FIXING THE ISSUE CORRECTLY THE FIRST TIME. THIS HAPPENS IN TOWN, ON COUNTRY ROADS, SITTING AT STOP LIGHTS. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED MY DAUGHTER WAS TAKING HER KIDS TO THE DOCTOR ON TUESDAY 12/3/2019.
