THE VAN WAS IN PARK, OFF, LOCKED AND UNOCCUPIED, IN MY DRIVEWAY, ON A LEVEL SURFACE, WHEN THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT SEAT HEADREST SAFETY SYSTEM DEPLOYED. IT WAS DISCOVERED WHEN WE WERE PREPARING TO LEAVE. THE PLASTIC TABS ON THE INSIDE OF THE HEADREST APPEAR TO HAVE BROKEN, ALLOWING IT TO MOVE UP AND FORWARD.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
I HAVE HAD MY VAN NOW FOR ABOUT 700 MILES, WE BOUGHT IT USED FROM A LOCAL DEALERSHIP. I RAN THE VAN THROUGH AN AUTOMATIC CAR WASH, AND WHEN I PUT THE VAN BACK INTO GEAR AND BEGAN TO MOVE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. SO I TURNED OFF THE VAN HOPING TO RESET THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND THE VAN DID NOT WANT TO START BACK UP. (AT THIS POINT I AM IN A ALLEY WITH ONE WAY TRAFFIC) FINALLY I GOT THE VAN TO START BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS STILL ON WHEN I PUT IT INTO GEAR IT SPUTTERED AND THEN STOPPED IT GAVE A RED LIGHT WITH A BOLT THROUGH IT AND ALSO THE OIL LIGHT CAME ONE. AGAIN I TRIED SEVERAL TIMES TO START THE VEHICLE AND FINALLY GOT IT TO GO AGAIN. THEN WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD IT BEGAN SHIFTING ON ITS OWN, IT IS AN AUTOMATIC BUT THE 1, 2, 4, 3 , 2 , 1 GEARS BEGAN SHOWING AN FINALLY IT STALLED, LUCKY I WAS ABLE TO COAST INTO A PARKING LOT. THIS VEHICLE IS NOT TRUST WORTHY. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE. I DO HAVE SOME VIDEO OF THESE THINGS HAPPENING.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT AROUND 60 MPH, MY HEADREST DEPLOYED. I DID NOT USE THE BRAKES, AND WAS NOT INVOLVED IN ANY SORT OF ACCIDENT, INCLUDING A REAR END ACCIDENT, WHICH IS WHEN THIS IS SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN. WHEN THIS HAPPENED, IT SMACKED INTO THE BACK OF MY HEAD. THE SURPRISE AND PAIN OF THIS HITTING THE BACK OF ME HEAD RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. I WAS TRAVELING AROUND OTHER VEHICLES. THE PLASTIC TABS INSIDE ARE SNAPPED AND THERE IS NO WAY TO PUT IT BACK TOGETHER WITHOUT A REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT. THE PART OBVIOUSLY FAILED. THERE WAS NO REASON FOR THIS TO HAPPEN AND I HAVE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE OF THIS HAPPENING TO CHRYSLER MINIVANS AND SUVS. THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADREST DID NOT DEPLOY, WHICH I BELIEVE IS FURTHER EVIDENCE THAT IT DID NOT FUNCTION AS INTENDED. IF I HAD BEEN INVOLVED IN A REAR END ACCIDENT, THEY BOTH SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED, AS MY HUSBAND WAS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS PART AS IT COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND IS VERY COSTLY TO REPAIR. I'M INCLUDING PICTURES OF THE DEPLOYED HEADREST, THE PASSENGER ONE THAT IS STILL TOGETHER, AND THE REAR OF MY VEHICLE TO SHOW THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT. THANK YOU.

THE SLIDING DOOR ON PASSENGER SIDE WILL NOT UNLOCK. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS HAVING CHILDREN IN THERE CAR SEAT AND CAN'T OPEN THE DOOR TO GET THEM OUT. I HAVE READ MANY COMPLAINTS ON THE CAR GURUS SITE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. MANY SAY DODGE IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL, BUT WILL REPAIR IT FOR $$$$. I WAS IN A STORE PARKING LOT WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND COULD NOT GET THE DOOR TO UNLOCK TO GET MY GRANDSON OUT. THE DOOR STILL WILL NOT UNLOCK.

I WAS DRIVING ON A 2 LANE STATE ROUTE LAST NIGHT AROUND 55 MILES PER HOUR. I WAS BEHIND 4 VEHICLES. MY 2010 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN HAS 113,982 MILES ON IT SUDDENLY WENT WILD OPEN, I PASSED 2 OF THE CARS AND THANK GOD THERE WAS NO ONE COMING THE OTHER WAY. I WAS ON THE BRAKES AS HARD AS I COULD PUSH. I PULLED IN BETWEEN THE 2 MIDDLE CARS AND HAD TO TURN THE ENGINE OFF AND GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. WHAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT THIS? THANKS, WOULD APPRECIATE ANY HELP I CAN GET.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
MY CAR KEPT STALLING AND CUTTING OFF. IT WOULD CUT OFF AT TIMES WHILE DRIVING ON BUSY CITY STREETS, JUST BEFORE TOTALLY SHUTTING DOWN.THOUGHT IT WAS THE BATTERY AND HAD THAT REPLACED. NOTHING ELSE WAS READING AS AN ISSUE THAT WOULD CAUSE THIS PROBLEM. I KNEW IT WAS LARGER PROBLEM WHEN I WAS UNABLE TO JUMP START MY VEHICLE OR FEED IT GAS USING THE PEDAL. CAR NO LONGER STARTS. APPARENTLY I NO LONGER HAVE POWER TO MY FUEL PUMP, AND THE RELAY IS INTEGRATED INTO THE FUSE BOX. UPON DOING SOME RESEARCH THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE THAT CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO RANDOMLY SHUT OFF. DEALERSHIPS WANT $1200 TO FIX.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
FOR SEVERAL MONTHS NOW I HAVE DEALT WITH A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL PUMP NOT TURNING OFF AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN SHUT OFF. IT HAS DRAIN THE BATTERY DEAD. NOW IT HAS EVOLVED INTO A PROBLEM WHERE THE CAR IS STALLING AND SHUTTING CAR SYSTEMS DOWN WITHOUT NOTICE. THANK GOODNESS I WAS NOT MOVING WHEN IT STALLED. IT APPEARS IT IS A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL PUMP MODULE RELAY. DODGE NEEDS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD.
