I TURNED ON MY CAR AND STARTED DRIVING AND MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS CAME ON ALL BY THEMSELVES AND WOULDN'T GO OFF AS I WAS DRIVING. WHEN I STOPPED THE CAR AND TURNED MY CAR OFF, AND TURNED MY CAR BACK ON, MY WIPERS WOULDN'T COME BACK ON. IT HAS BEEN RAINING A LOT AND I HAVE NO WINDSHIELD WIPERS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND I HAVE ALMOST HAD A WRECK WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR BECAUSE OF THIS. *TR

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE LAST FEW TIMES I HAVE COMPLETELY FILLED UP MY GAS TANK - THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED. I HAVE HAD TO TRIED TO STOP AND RESTART THE IGNITION/ENGINE A NUMBER OF TIMES FOR THE VEHICLE TO RUN. THIS IS HAPPENING WITH FULL GAS FULL-UP AND HAPPENED TO ME AGAIN LAST NIGHT. I HAVE SEEN THIS AS BEING A COMMON PROBLEM FOR CHRYSLER/DODGE MINIVANS IN A FEW ON-LINE FORUMS. SOME REPORTS HAVE THE VEHICLES STALLING ON HIGHWAYS AND/OR WHEN DRIVING. MY VEHICLE IS A 2007 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN SXT. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY/WIPER, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
WHEN THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED, I WAS DRIVING 20 MPH IN A SCHOOL ZONE AND MY DAUGHTER WAS IN THE VAN WITH ME. ALL THE ELECTRICAL INSTRUMENTATION SUDDENLY TURNED OFF. THE VAN CONTINUED TO MOVE FORWARD, BUT THE TURN SIGNALS, DASH INSTRUMENT PANEL, WINDOWS, LOCKS, ETC. ALL FAILED TO WORK. I THOUGHT A FUSE HAD BLOWN OR SOMETHING. I PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND PARKED, BUT THE VAN WOULD ONLY TURN PART WAY OFF. THE MOTOR STOPPED RUNNING, BUT THE KEY INDICATED THAT THE MOTOR WAS STILL ON. THE KEY WOULD NOT TURN COUNTER CLOCKWISE, OR "OFF" PAST THE "ON" DESIGNATION MARKED ON THE IGNITION. THE KEY WOULD NOT RELEASE/COME OUT OF THE IGNITION. SINCE I COULD NOT GET THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION, I TRIED TO START THE VAN. IT WOULD NOT START. MY HUSBAND CAME OUT AND TRIED TO JUMP START IT, THINKING IT MIGHT BE A PROBLEM WITH THE BATTERY. THIS WAS UNSUCCESSFUL. I HAD CALLED A LOCAL MECHANIC FROM THE CAR, AND WITH HIS HELP MY HUSBAND WAS ABLE TO GET THE VAN STARTED. HE DROVE IT TO THE MECHANIC'S SHOP. THE MECHANIC LOOKED AT THE "CODES" AND SAID IT LOOKED LIKE IT WAS UNDER RECALL. HE WAS ABLE TO GET THE KEY TO RELEASE AND MY HUSBAND DROVE THE VAN TO THE LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD HIM THAT OUR VAN WAS PART OF AN IGNITION RECALL AND THAT DODGE WOULD HAVE THE PARTS REPLACED. WE HAVE BEEN WAITING MORE THAN TWO WEEKS NOW, AND STILL THE DEALER SAYS THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VAN. I TRANSPORT MY CHILDREN AND CHILDREN IN A CARPOOL. I CANNOT RISK THEIR SAFETY, AND I HAVE NO CAR TO DRIVE TO WORK. THE FIRST WEEK WITHOUT THE VAN, I BORROWED A CAR. I WAS ON VACATION FOR THE NEXT WEEK. I BELIEVED DODGE WOULD HAVE THE PARTS TO FIX MY VAN IN THOSE TWO WEEKS. DODGE HAS STILL NOT FIXED MY VAN. IF THESE PROBLEMS CAUSE A WRECK, WILL THE AIRBAGS EVEN DEPLOY? IT IS APPALLING THAT DODGE EXPECTS ME TO DRIVE MY FAMILY AROUND IN AN UNSAFE VEHICLE. *TR
