IGNITION SWITCH THAT IS UNDER RECALL.... I'VE KNOWN ABOUT THIS FOR QUITE SOME TIME, YET WHENEVER I ASK DEALER ABOUT IT THEY TELL ME THAT THE REPLACEMENT PARTS HAVE NOT ARRIVED YET. I NOW HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE SWITCH NOT TURNING OFF AT TIMES. I THINK DODGE IS DRAGGING THEIR HIND QUARTERS ON THIS RECALL. MY DEALER IS MULLANE MOTORS IN LOCKPORT NY. *TR

DRIVING HOME ON THE HIGHWAY MY 2011 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN CREW DIED. TRAVELING 60 MPH ON A SLIGHT INCLINE. ALL POWER SHUT DOWN WITHOUT WARNING. DASH LIGHTS/ACCEL./POWER STEERING ALL DIED. I STRUGGLED TO PULL TO THE SHOULDER AND TRIED TO RESTART 10 TIMES. IT WOULD TRY TO CRANK AND SOUND LIKE IT WAS STARTING, BUT THEN NEVER WOULD STAY RUNNING. CALLED A RELATIVE FOR A RIDE HOME, THINKING I WOULD NEED TO HAVE THE VAN TOWED TO THE SHOP. AFTER WAITING ABOUT 15 MIN. FOR MY RIDE I DECIDED ONE LAST TIME TO TRY TO START IT. IT FIRED RIGHT UP. I KEPT IT RUNNING; MY RIDE FOLLOWED ME HOME THE 5 MILES TO ENSURE NO MORE SHUT DOWNS. TOOK IT TO OUR DODGE DEALER AND HAD TO LEAVE IT. 2 DAYS LATER FINALLY GOT SOMEONE TO REPORT THE PROBLEM. THEY HAD TROUBLE GETTING THE VAN TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE TO START. ACCORDING TO THE TECHNICIAN, IT NEEDED A NEW TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE, AT A COST OF $900. I PURCHASED THIS VAN AS THE THIRD OWNER MAY 2015 WITH JUST 40,900 MILES. SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING THE VAN MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS STARTED ON THEIR OWN AND WOULDN'T STOP NO MATTER WHAT SETTING YOU TURNED THE WIPER CONTROL TO. THAT WAS THE ONLY OTHER TIME WE'VE HAD THIS VAN IN THE SHOP OTHER THAN OIL CHANGES. WE PAID $179.00 TO FIX THE 'WIPER MECHANISM'. LOOKING BACK, I SEE THAT PROBLEM WAS SURELY RELATED TO THE FAILING "TIPM" THE TECHNICIAN EVEN STATED THAT THIS WAS CERTAINLY A RELATED ISSUE. THE VAN HAS SAT IN THE GARAGE UNABLE TO START THE LAST 40 DAYS. NOW THAT I'VE RESEARCHED DODGE AND THEIR HISTORY OF FAULTY TIPM'S, I AM HESITANT TO EVEN HAVE IT REPAIRED-BUT I NEED MY VAN. I CAN'T SELL IT TO ANYONE IN THIS CONDITION. IT'S MY DAILY DRIVER, AND HAS WAY TOO LOW MILEAGE TO GET RID OF IT. WE HAVE BEEN STUCK SHARING A VEHICLE. I'M READING ABOUT NUMEROUS OTHERS HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM. DODGE, PLEASE DO THE RIGHT THING AND RECALL THE TIPM. *TR

UPON STARTING MY VEHICLE, THE FOBIK SOMETIMES DOES NOT FULLY SEAT IN THE "ON" POSITION. SOMETIMES I CANNOT START MY VEHICLE BECAUSE THE FOBIK WILL STICK BEFORE ALLOWING ME TO FULLY TURN THE KEY. SOMETIME IT WILL STICK WHERE I CANNOT SHUT THE ENGINE OFFICE OR THE FOBIK WILL SEAT ITSELF INTO THE IGNITION WHEREBY I CANNOT REMOVE IT. I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE TWO YEARS AGO. THE RECALL NOTICE STATED THAT DEALERS DID NOT HAVE THE PART AVAILABLE. I HAVE YET TO BE CONTACTED THAT THIS PART IS NOW AVAILABLE. I HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS WITH THE COOLING SYSTEM. THIS HAS INCLUDED LEAKS INSIDE MY VEHICLE, LOSS OF FLUID, AND FAN NOISE. I'VE HAD SYSTEM REPAIRED NUMEROUS TIMES TO NO AVAIL. IS THERE A RECALL ON THE COOLING SYSTEM AS WELL? THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR ANY ASSISTANCE YOU CAN PROVIDE TO ADDRESS THESE ISSUES. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHILE ACCELERATING TO 65 MPH ON AN INTERSTATE MY GAS PEDAL BECAME STUCK AND BEGAN TO ACCELERATE MY VAN TO A HIGHER SPEED, I ATTEMPTED TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE BY TAPPING THE BRAKE HOPING THE SYSTEM WOULD RESET OR DISENGAGE BUT IT DID NOT. I ALSO CHECKED MY FLOOR MAT TO ENSURE IT WAS NOT INTERFERING BUT IT MOVED EASILY. TO STOP THE ACCELERATION, I HAD TO PHYSICALLY PULL ON THE GAS PEDAL IN WHICH IT FINALLY RELEASED FROM BEING STUCK AND ALLOWED ME TO DRIVE AT A NORMAL RATE OF SPEED. *TR

AIR BAGS
WE HAVE NOT HAD AN ISSUE YET. HOWEVER OUR AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT IS CONSTANTLY COMING ON AND WE HAVE HAD IT CHECKED 3-4 TIMES AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VAN. WE ALSO HAVE A SAFETY RECALL THAT HAS BEEN IN EFFECT SINCE 2014 AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE AND IN FACT THEY ARE NOT EVEN BEING MANUFACTURED YET. WE WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY CHRYSLER IS NOT TAKING THIS SERIOUSLY. WE COULD GET INTO AN ACCIDENT AND OUR AIR BAGS AND RESTRAINT SYSTEM COULD FAIL. WHAT CAN WE DO? *TR

SUSPENSION
WHILE DRIVING OUR 2009 GRAND CARAVAN TO WORK, THERE WAS A LOUD CLUNK IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE AND THE VEHICLE SWERVED TO THE LEFT ACROSS THE CENTER LINE AND OFF THE LEFT SIDE OF THE ROAD. THANKFULLY THERE WAS NOTHING COMING THE OTHER WAY. I PARKED THE CAR IN A LOT AND CALLED MY HUSBAND. WHEN HE ARRIVED, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE REAR AXLE HAD BROKE IN TWO PIECES. THIS VEHICLE HAS ALWAYS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED AND HAS LESS THAN 70,000 MILES ON IT. WE HAVE NOT TAKEN IT IN FOR REPAIRS YET BUT IM SURE THAT THIS SAFETY ITEM WILL BE ON OUR DIME AND NOT DODGE. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, STEERING, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
AFTER FUELING VAN COMPLETELY THE ENGINE STALLS NUMEROUS TIME UNTIL THE FUEL GAUGE DROPS DOWN ABOUT 1/8TH BELOW THE FULL MARK. THIS HAS ACTUALLY HAPPENED MANY TIMES IN THE LAST SIX TO EIGHT MONTHS AND IT ALWAYS HAPPENS RIGHT AFTER FUELING TO COMPLETELY FULL. THIS HAPPENED MOST RECENTLY IN A BUSY INTERSECTION WITH AN ELDERLY LADY IN THE BACK. *TR
