ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY, CRUISE CONTROL SHUT OFF AND EVERY LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD LIT UP. AFTER TURNING OFF THE CAR FOR A WHILE, THINGS WENT BACK TO NORMAL. ON A LATER DATE, I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT TURNED OFF THE IGNITION AND REMOVED THE KEY--BUT THE CAR WAS STILL RUNNING. THE CAR FINALLY TURNED OFF AFTER FOUR OR FIVE ATTEMPTS TO REINSERT THE KEY, TURN BACK TO RUN, BACK TO OFF, ETC., SHIFTING FROM PARK TO DRIVE AND BACK. RESEARCHING ONLINE, IT APPEARS THAT THESE ISSUES ARE SYMPTOMS OF A FAULTY TIPM. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THIS PROBLEM STARTED IN AUGUST OF 2014 BUT IT IS ONGOING AND HAPPENED AS RECENTLY AS MARCH 27, 2015. EVERY TIME I FILL UP THE GAS TANK ON MY 2006 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN, THE CAR STALLS OUT WHILE WE ARE DRIVING. EVENTUALLY, WE ARE ABLE TO START THE VAN BACK UP AND KEEP DRIVING. AFTER THAT, IT DRIVES FINE UNTIL WE FILL UP THE TANK AGAIN. ONE TIME WE STALLED OUT AND THE VAN DID NOT START BACK UP SO WE REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP. THE VAN STARTED BACK UP BUT THE ISSUE RETURNED AGAIN. IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME WE FILL UP. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ONGOING ISSUE THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE. I BELIEVE IT IS RELATED TO DEFECT PETITION DP 14-002. HTTP://WWW-ODI.NHTSA.DOT.GOV/ACMS/CS/JAXRS/DOWNLOAD/DOC/UCM461759/INOA-DP14002-5470.PDF. I BELIEVE THAT DODGE NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL AND FIX THE FUEL TANKS WHICH CONTAIN THE FAULTY FUEL VALVES CAUSING THIS PROBLEM. *TR

ENGINE, STEERING, SERVICE BRAKES
IN THE FIRST DRIVE OF THE DAY (NO MATTER WHAT TIME OF THE DAY) WITHIN 4 BLOCKS OF MY HOME, THE VEHICLE STALLS WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS SO FAR HAPPENED 8 TIMES OVER THE LAST 9 MONTHS. THIS INCIDENT HAS OCCURRED WITH 3 DIFFERENT DRIVERS AND IN THE SAME EXACT LOCATION 7 OUT OF THE 8 TIMES. VEHICLE IS ALWAYS COASTING (NOT ACCELERATING) AROUND 20 MILES PER HOUR. WHEN THIS INCIDENT OCCURS, THE ENGINE TURNS OFF, WHICH DISABLES THE STEERING, BRAKES, AND ACCELERATION. THIS LEAVES THE DRIVER AND ITS PASSENGERS IN SERIOUS, POTENTIALLY LETHAL, DANGER. WE HAVE TAKEN THIS VEHICLE MULTIPLE TIMES TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND THEY CLAIM THAT THIS VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THEY STATE THAT THERE ARE NO ERROR CODES. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
I STARTED TO SMELL BURNING BRAKES WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. I GOT OUT WHEN WE PARKED AND FELT ALL THE WHEELS. THE REAR WHEELS WERE SO HOT YOU COULDN'T TOUCH THEM, THE REAR ROTORS WERE GLOWING RED, AND IT SMELLED LIKE BURNING BRAKES. CALLED THE DEALERSHIP SINCE ITS ONLY 2 YEARS OLD AND 16K MILES. WAS TOLD ITS A WEAR ITEM AND THEY WONT COVER THEM, ONLY THE CALIPERS, AND NO LOANER SINCE WE DON'T HAVE A SERVICE CONTRACT. LAST DODGE I EVER BUY. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THIS DODGE GRAND CARAVAN 2014 WAS PURCHASED ON 5-2014. THIS VAN IS A DEATH TRAP. THIS NEEDS INVESTIGATION ON THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE WHOM HAVE DIED AS A RESULT OF DRIVING THIS VAN. THIS VAN HAS MOST LIKELY BEEN THE CAUSE OF SEVERAL ACCIDENTS AND DEATHS. PLEASE LOOK IN TO THIS. I AM A EXPERIENCED DRIVER OF OVER 35 YEARS WITH KNOWLEDGE OF VEHICLES. THIS 2014 DODGE VAN SHOULD BE TAKEN OFF THE STREETS. I CAN NOT EXPRESS TO YOU ENOUGH HOW HORRID THE PROBLEM IS WITH THIS VAN. SIMPLE STORY ON MARCH 21, 2015 WHILE DRIVING ON TO A VERY SHORT RAMP WHICH LEADS TO THE HIGHWAY WITH LIMITED TIME TO GET IN YOUR SLOT OR FOR THOSE ON IT ALREADY, TO MAKE YOU A SLOT, I ACCELERATED TO NEEDED SPEED TO GET A SLOT, ONCE I WAS UP TO 70 MPH I LET OFF THE GAS PEDAL, THE CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE I WAS THEN NOT ONLY IN THE THICK OF HIGHWAY TRAFFIC TRAVELING ON I-70 BUT AS WELL AFTER STOMPING LITERALLY ON THE BREAKS TWICE THE CAR RPM CONTINUED TO RAISE I WAS SOON GOING 90 MPH AGAINST MY WILL AND INSTANTLY THOUGHT MAYBE IT WAS THE GAS PEDAL STUCK I CLEARLY LOOKED DOWN AND SAW IT WAS NOT STUCK ON A MATT SINCE MY VAN HAD NO MATT IN THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE, AND FRANTICALLY STARTED PULLING THE GAS PEDAL UPWARDS WITH MY FOOT TRYING TO UNSTICK IT WHICH IT WAS NOT STUCK I THEN STOMPED ON THE BREAKS AGAIN PANICKING AT THIS TIME AS NOT ONLY COMING UPON THE CAR IN FRONT STILL GOING NEAR 95 MPH AND ACCELERATING BUT THERE WAS NO OPEN SLOT TO ESCAPE AROUND ANY CARS, I TRIED 4-5 TIMES MORE TO LIFT THE PEDAL WITH MY FOOT IT WOULDN'T SLOW, I THEN THREW CAR INTO NEUTRAL AND SLOWED IT DOWN AND DRIFTED IT OFF THE RAMP EXIT 295. I THEN TURNED IT OFF AT STOP SIGN AND RESTARTED IT TERRIFIED, AND WENT HOME SLOW NOT OVER 30 MPH. I SINCERELY BELIEVE THAT THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE DEATHS AND ACCIDENTS FROM THIS THAT WAS NEVER REPORTED. *TR
