ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
THE KEY WILL RANDOMLY SWITCH FROM START TO THE OFF POSITION WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. IT WILL DO IT AT ANY RATE OF SPEED AND ON BACK ROADS OR THE HIGHWAY. IT IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE!!!THIS MODEL VAN SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN THE RECALL #14V373000. BUT I WAS INFORMED DUE TO IT'S "MANUFACTURE DATE" THE VEHICLE IS FINE. I CAN TELL YOU, IT IS NOT FINE.

NOW, IN ADDITION TO STALLING AT ANY TIME AND ANY SPEED, AT TIMES THE VAN WILL NOT START (WONT EVEN TURN OVER) AND THE WINDOWS INTERMITTENTLY WORK. CLEARLY IT'S A TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE (TIPM) ISSUE. FOLKS, CHECK OUT HOW INCOMPETENT THE NHTSA IS, GO TO HTTP://WWW.CHRYSLERPROBLEMS.COM/TRENDS/TIPM/ SO MANY TIPM ISSUES THAT THE NHTSA REFUSES TO ADDRESS UNTIL SOME OF US DIE.

ENGINE
2010 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN 108000 MILES. AT TIME OF THIS COMPLAINT, WE HAVE OWNED VEHICLE FOR ONLY TWO MONTHS. FOR NO APPARENT REASON AND NO WARNING; ENGINE WILL STALL. THIS HAS HAPPENED BOTH AT A STOP SIGN AND ROUNDING A CURVE AT 30 MPH. NO ENGINE - NO POWER STEERING. HOPING THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN ON THE HIGHWAY. ENGINE ALSO HAS A 'SURGE' TO IT AT AROUND 40 MPH; NOT SURE IF THE TWO ARE RELATED.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY 2010 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN BEGAN HAVING ISSUES ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO. THE ABS LIGHT WOULD LIGHT UP AND BEEP ON AND OFF AND WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATED THEY COULD NOT DETERMINE THE PROBLEM WITHOUT IT OCCURING AT THAT TIME. AS MONTHS WENT ON THE PROBLEM BECAME WORSE. ALL THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS BEGAN TURNING ON AND OFF HEADLIGHTS WOULD DIMMER, CLOCK AND RADIO WOULD SHUT OFF. TOOK TO A FEW MECHANICS AND NONE COULD DETERMINE THE PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM GOT WORSE BATTERY LIGHT BEGAN STAYING LIT. WE THEN REPLACED THE BATTERY AND THE BATTERY CABLES. THE PROBLEMS PERSISTED, WE TOOK TO ANOTHER MECHANIC WHO STATED THE ALTERNATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. WE REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR AND THE VEHICLE WAS FINE FOR THREE WEEKS, THEN THE PROBLEM STARTED AGAIN ALL THE LIGHTS LIT UP, THE AIR WENT IN AND OUT, THE RADIO SHUT OFF AND OUT OF NOWHERE THE CAR SHUT OFF WHILE ABOUT TO TURN AT AN INTERSECTION WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE VAN. WE HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO MANY DIFFERENT MECHANICS EVEN THE DEALERSHIP AND NONE OF THEM CAN DETERMINE WHAT IS CAUSING THIS ISSUE. THROUGH THE INTERNET I SEE THAT WE ARE NOT ALONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO BESIDES ATTEMPT TO GET RID OF THE VEHICLE. THIS IS THE VEHICLE I BOUGHT TO TRANSPORT MY CHILDREN; I'VE BEEN PAYING FOR RENTAL CARS BECAUSE I'M SCARED TO DRIVE IT. WITH AS MANY COMPLAINTS AS I'VE SEEN FOR THIS ISSUE YOU WOULD THINK THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. SOMEONE IS GOING TO BE SERIOUSLY HURT OR DEAD IF THEY DON'T DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS.

STEERING
AS I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE, THE POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING. I COULD NOT STEER THE VEHICLE AND IT WAS DIFFICULT TO BRAKE. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED IT TWICE, WITH NO EFFECT. I WAS ABLE TO MUSCLE IT INTO THE PARKING SPACE. I SHUT THE CAR OFF AND RAN AN ERRAND. WHEN I RETURNED AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE, THE POWER STEERING HAD STARTED WORKING AGAIN. I CHECKED THE POWER STEERING FLUID LEVEL, WHICH IS FINE. THE PROBLEM SEEMED ELECTRICAL. I HAVE NOT YET HAD A REOCCURENCE OF THIS PROBLEM. I AM WORRIED ABOUT THE IMPACT THIS WOULD HAVE IF IT OCCURRED WHEN TRAVELING AT HIGHER SPEEDS.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
MY HEAD LIGHTS INTERMITTENTLY BLINK WHEN I TURN ON MY VEHICLE AS WELL AS WHEN I'M DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THE RUNNING LIGHTS STILL WORK BUT ITS THE HIGH AND LOW BEAM LIGHTS. THE LIGHTS WILL BLINK A FEW TIMES THEN STAY OFF. THE VEHICLE CAN BE IN MOTION OR SITTING STILL. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER AND RESEARCHED ONLINE AND IT LOOKS TO BE A REQUIRED REPLACEMENT OF THE TIPM MODULE WHICH IS A VERY EXPENSIVE FIX. ALSO LOOKING AT THE ONLINE FORUMS, IT SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THIS MODULE ON A LOT OF VEHICLES. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAVE DIAGNOSED IT TO THE TIPM. I BELIEVE SINCE THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH MULTIPLE VEHICLES, CHRYSLER NEEDS TO RECALL THESE TIPMS SINCE THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH MULTIPLE PEOPLE.

NHTSA RECALL BULLETIN #14V373000 NOTED THIS PROBLEM BUT THIS INDIVIDUAL VEHICLE AND PROBABLY OTHERS ARE NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL. PLEASE CHECK.
