WHEELS
IN THE ACT OF TURNING INTO A PARKING LOT, I HIT THE CURB ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AND HEARD A LOUD BANG. AS I CONTINUED, I KNEW IMMEDIATELY THAT I HAD A FLAT AND PULLED INTO A PARKING SPOT. THERE WAS A SIDE WALL BLOW OUT VERY LARGE ON THAT FRONT TIRE. HAD TO REPLACE THE TIRE ON A CAR THAT WE HAVE OWNED NEW FOR ONLY 6 MONTHS AND ONLY HAD 6,000 MILES ON. I WAS GOING VERY SLOW AS I TURNED AND WHEN I WENT BACK TO LOOK AT THE CURB IT WAS ROUNDED AND NOT SHARP. TOOK A PHOTO OF IT BECAUSE IT SHOCKED ME. AAA CAME AND TOWED THE CAR TO A DEALER AND AFTER READING SOME SHOCKING REPORTS ABOUT THE TAKAHOMA TIRES THAT WE HAVE ON OUR CAR DECIDED TO REPLACE IT WITH ANOTHER BRAND. MY CONCERN IS THE SAFETY OF THE OTHER 3 TIRES AS WE CONTINUE DRIVING THIS CAR.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE VAN ENGINE SHUTS DOWN WHILE IN DRIVE. THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES WITH IN A WEEK. IT HAS SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY AT AN INTERSECTION. EVEN THE HAZARDS WOULD NOT COME ON TO SHOW OTHER DRIVERS THAT I WAS BROKE DOWN. I RECEIVED A NOTICE LAST YEAR ABOUT A RECALL FOR THE IGNITION MODULE AND I WAS PUT AN A LONG WAIT LIST TO HAVE IT FIXED. ON JANUARY 3, 2016 I HAD THE RECALL TAKEN CARE OF AT SHERWOOD SERVICE IN SALISBURY, MD. I HAVE NEVER HAD THE ENGINE FAILURE HAPPEN BEFORE HAVING THE RECALL FIXED, AND NOW, IT IS HAPPENING. WHEN THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN THE LAST TIME, MY HUSBAND WHO WAS DRIVING HAD TO CALL THE POLICE TO DIRECT TRAFFIC AROUND THE VAN UNTIL THE TOW TRUCK GOT THERE SO HE WOULD NOT BE HIT! IT BLOCKED AN INTERSECTION FOR 30 MINUTES UNTIL THE VAN WAS TOWED AWAY, WHEN THE VAN GOT HOME ON THE TOW TRUCK, IT STARTED UP WITH NO PROBLEM. EVERY TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED, THE VAN HAS BEEN IN GEAR AND DRIVING WHEN IT COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN AND IT HAS EITHER GONE OVER A SMALL BUMP OR BEEN TURNING. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO ADD THAT I HAD AN APPOINTMENT WITH SHERWOOD CHRYSLER IN SALISBURY, MD TODAY(3/22/21) AND THEY SAID THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH MY VAN AND TRIED SEND MY HUSBAND HOME IN THE VAN WITHOUT FIXING THE PROBLEM! HE INSISTED THAT THEY DRIVE IT (WHICH THEY WOULD NOT DO TODAY) TO SEE IF IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THEY STILL HAVE MY VAN.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE WILL SHUT OFF AT RANDOM TIMES. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES DURING THE LAST 2 MONTHS. WE RECENTLY TOOK THE VEHICLE IN, BUT, THE PROBLEM DID NOT OCCUR WHILE THE REPAIR SHOP HAD IT, SO, THEY DID NOT REPLACE ANYTHING. THERE ARE NO SPECIFIC CIRCUMSTANCES THAT WILL CAUSE THIS TO HAPPEN. IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGH SPEED ON THE INTERSTATE. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE 2008-2010 MODEL YEAR GRAND CARAVANS THAT HAVE SUFFERED THE SAME PROBLEM. THE RECALL ADDRESSES THE IGNITION SWITCH ON THOSE VEHICLES.

VEHICLE HAS MISFIRE AND TICKING SOUND FROM ENGINE WITH CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON AND FLASHING. ALSO WHEN DRIVING VEHICLE WANTS TO STALL WHEN IDLING .. TOOK TO DEALER AND TOLD ME HEAD CYLINDER NEED REPLACED BUT NOT COVERED BY EXTENDED WARRANTY CHRYSLER ISSUED FOR EXACT SAME REASON FOR 2011-2013 MODELS. THIS IS NOT FAIR THAT NOT ALL 2013 GRAND CARAVANS ARE COVERED. THEY SHOULD ALL BE COVERED BY SAME WARRANTY.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
TIPM FAULTY IN OUR 2013 DODGE CARAVAN WITH 54000 MILES. VAN WILL NOT START..THE FUEL PUMP RELAY DANGEROUSLY ALLOWS THE FUEL PUMP TO CONTINUE EVEN AFTER VAN IS SHUT OFF. THESE WERE RECALLED ON THOUSANDS BUT ONLY UNTIL 2012. BOUGHT THE VAN WITH 2 MILES OFF SHOWROOM FLOOR , NEVER AGAIN WILL BUY A DODGE.. CUSTOMER SERVICE SAYS WE ARE OUT OF THE CRAPPY 36,000 MILE WARRANTY AND CONVENIENTLY ..THIS SEEMS TO HAPPEN AFTER 45,000 MILES IN THE DODGE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
CAR SHUTS OFF SUDDENLY UP (STALL WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY), LOST ALL POWER, BRAKE AND STEERING WHEEL ARE AFFECTED MAKE IMPOSSIBLE TO DRIVE SAFELY THE VEHICLE. THIS CAUSES PROBLEMS TO SAFELY PUT YOU OUT OFF THE ROAD. ALSO, WE HAVE PROBLEMS TO TURN ON THE VEHICLE IN THE MORNINGS, AND CONSUMES UP TO THE DEATH A NEW BATTERY CAR IN MONTHS (LESS THAN A YEAR). AS PER THE DODGE DEALER THIS PROBLEMS IS CAUSED DUE A FAULTY TIPM AND A BAD FUEL GAS PUMP. REPLACE BOTH WILL COST AROUND $2,000 USD. LOOKING OVER THE WEB THIS SECURITY THREAT IT IS A COMMON ISSUE FOR DODGE GRAND CARAVAN 2011-2012. GRAND CHEROKEE AND DURANGO FOR THE SAME YEARS HAVE RECALLS FOR THIS SITUATION, BUT NOT THE GRAND CARAVAN. THIS IS A SECURITY ISSUE DOCUMENTED FOR THE CHEROKEE AND THE DURANGO THAT SHOULD APPLY TO THE GRAND CARAVAN AS IT IS THE SAME PROBLEM. I HOPE THAT YOUR AGENCY WILL BE ABLE TO INTERVENE WITH THIS SERIOUS PROBLEM.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, VISIBILITY/WIPER
OUR VAN KEEPS RUNNING OUT OF OIL COMPLETELY BEFORE OIL CHANGE IS DUE, DEALER HAS ALREADY REPLACED OIL PAN AND REAR MAIN SEAL. PROBLEM STILL EXISTS AND THEY ARE SAYING THE REAR MAIN SEAL AGAIN. DOES NOT MAKE ANY SENSE BECAUSE THERE IS NO OIL IN PARKING SPOT OR UNDER VEHICLE NEAR REAR MAIN SEAL. ONLINE MANY PEOPLE REPORT THAT IT IS A ENGINE PROBLEM AND THAT IT IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE MOTOR... SO WHY ARE PEOPLE HAVING TO PAY FOR REPAIRS WHEN THIS MOTOR SHOULD BE RECALLED. IT IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP NOW BEING REPAIRED OR REPLACING REAR MAIN SEAL AGAIN.
