ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHILE DRIVING, MY VAN WOULD SUDDENLY ACCELERATE. IT DID THIS MULTIPLE TIMES THEN IT WOULDN'T START. AFTER RESEARCHING OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THIS MAKE AND MODEL WE TRIED THE FUEL RELAY BYPASS. IT FIXED THE PROBLEM FOR A WHILE BE EVENTUALLY IT STOPPED WORKING. THE FUEL RELAY IS THE PROBLEM AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED BECAUSE THERE ISN'T A WAY TO PERMANENTLY FIX THE PROBLEM AT THIS TIME. DODGE ISSUED RECALLS FOR THE DURANGO AND JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE FOR THE SAME ISSUE.

NOT SURE ABOUT THE MILEAGE AS TO WHEN THIS HAPPENED (SINCE I AM NOT CURRENTLY IN MY CAR) 1THE CAR HAD BEEN PARKED AT HOME BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO UNLOCK THE DOOR, WHEN THE SLIDING DOOR (DRIVERS SIDE) MADE A "BUZZING" SOUND AND NOW THE DOOR WON'T UNLOCK. WE HAVE TRIED TO GET THE DOOR OPEN BY MANUALLY MOVING THE LOCKING SWITCH AND IT JUST DOESN'T MOVE. WE ARE CURRENTLY ONLY ABLE TO USE THE PASSENGERS SIDE SLIDING DOOR.

SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE, STEERING
WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREET (BETWEEN 20 AND 30 MPH) THE VEHICLE ENGINE SHUT OFF. THE POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES ALSO STOPPED MAKING THE VEHICLE DIFFICULT TO STOP OR MANEUVER TO A SAFE STOPPING LOCATION. THERE WAS NO WARNING OF A FAILURE AND THE ONLY INDICATION WAS THE TRACTION CONTROL/STABILITY DASH INDICATOR. AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED IT WAS PLACED IN PARK AND RESTARTED, THEN DROVE FINE. THERE WERE STILL NO INDICATIONS OF A FAILURE (CEL OR SES LIGHT). NO DIAGNOSTIC CODES WERE STORED ON THE COMPUTER. BECAUSE THIS HAPPENS COMPLETELY UNEXPECTED, IF IT WERE TO OCCUR WHILE GOING AROUND A CURVE OR IN AN INTERSECTION THERE IS A SAFETY CONCERN.

THE PASSENGER SIDE SLIDING DOOR AUTOMATICALLY LOCKED WHILE I WAS DRIVING AS IT SHOULD. HOWEVER ONCE THE LOCK ENGAGED, IT WOULD NOT UNLOCK AND THE DOOR BECAME INOPERABLE FROM BOTH THE INSIDE AND THE OUTSIDE. THIS IS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS, BECAUSE IF THERE WAS AN EMERGENCY I OR FIRST RESPONDERS COULD NOT QUICKLY GET TO MY SON, ESPECIALLY IF THE OTHER DOOR WERE TO FAIL IN THE SAME WAY.

ENGINE
AT 4 YEARS OLD AND ABOUT 60000 MILES, MY CARAVAN STARTED TO SEVERELY LEAK OIL. IT WOULD GO THROUGH A QUART A WEEK. FROM MY INTERNET RESEARCH IT SEEMS LIKE THE OIL FILTER HOUSING IS THE MAIN CULPRIT. I HOPE THEY RECALL THE DEFECTIVE PARTS.
