WE HAVE AN IGNITION KEY RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE .WE WERE INFORMED BY DEALER THAT DODGE IS CHOOSING NOT TO REPAIR THIS MODEL YEAR AND WE WOULD MORE THAN LIKELY HAVE TO FIGHT IT OUT WITH DODGE. THE DEALER WITHIN 24 HRS SAID THEY WOULD FIX THE VAN FOR US GAVE US NEW KEYS AND THE PART WAS TAKEN CARE OF.ON MARCH 25 201 I HAD YET ANOTHER OCCURRENCE OF STALING VEHICLE, CONTACTED DODGE .DODGE INFORMED ME THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE A DESIGNED NEW IGNITION PART FOR MY CAR THAT THE FIX THAT THE DEALER MADE WAS TEMPORARY ,WHICH WE WERE NEVER MADE AWARE OF, WE HAVE RECEIVED CONFLICTING INFORMATION FROM BOTH THE DEALER AS WELL AS DODGE. HOW LONG MUST I DRIVE A VEHICLE WHICH IS STALLING OUT WITH MY FAMILY IN IT. WHY IS IT THE WELL FAIR OF MY FAMILY HAS NO VALUE AND DODGE CAN DRAG THEIR FEET COMING UP WITH A PROPER DESIGN AFTER THREE YEARS KNOWING ABOUT A DESIGN FAILURE. *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE MINIVAN TODAY AROUND 6:45 AM. SHE WAS DROPPING OFF OUR DAUGHTER TO SCHOOL. HER SPEED LIMIT WAS 25 MPH. 2 TIMES, THE TRACTION STABILITY CONTROL LIT UP IN THE DASHBOARD. THE ENGINE STOPPED, BRAKE WAS NOT WORKING AND STEERING WHEEL CANNOT BE MOVED. BOTH TIMES, SHE WAS ABLE TO TURN ON THE HAZARD LIGHT TO ALERT ANY VEHICLES BEHIND HER. LUCKILY SHE WAS NOT TRAVELING FAST AND THE VEHICLES BEHIND HER WERE SLOW. BOTH TIMES SHE HAD TO REMOVE THE KEY AND REINSERT IT AND RESTART THE MINIVAN. SHE WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE MINIVAN. THIS IS THE 2ND TIME THAT THIS HAPPENED. OUR DEALER HAVE OPEN APPOINTMENTS 6 DAYS FROM NOW. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT OTHERS ARE ALSO EXPERIENCING. BELOW IS A LINK OF COMPLAINTS...

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ENGINE
THE ENGINE STALLED TWICE WITHIN 5 MINUTES OF REFUELING. THE VEHICLE WAS FILLED WITH UNLEADED 87 OCTANE GAS TO FULL. THE GAS PUMP AUTO STOPPED WHEN FULL, AND THE TANK WAS NOT TOPPED OFF. THE FIRST STALL HAPPENED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IDLING AT A STOP SIGN APPROXIMATELY 1 MINUTE AFTER FUELING. THE ENGINE RESTARTED, BUT STALLED AGAIN APPROXIMATELY 2 MINUTES LATER. THE SECOND STALL OCCURRED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AT APPROXIMATELY 15-20 MPH AND TURNING LEFT. THE STALL LEFT THE VEHICLE WITHOUT POWER STEERING, AND THE VEHICLE COASTED INTO A DRIVEWAY. THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF LIGHT TRAFFIC. UNDER DIFFERENT CIRCUMSTANCES OR TRAFFIC PATTERNS, A STALLED ENGINE LEAVING A MOVING VEHICLE POWERLESS LIKELY WOULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT RESULTING IN POSSIBLE INJURY OR DEATH. THIS SAME PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED APPROXIMATELY 5-6 TIMES IN THE LAST 2 YEARS, HOWEVER I CAN NOT BE SPECIFIC ON DATES. IT WAS ONLY WHEN MY WIFE AND I WERE TOGETHER THIS LAST TIME THAT WE BOTH COMMENTED ON THE PROBLEM, AND FOUND THAT IT HAS HAPPENED TO EACH OF US SEVERAL TIMES. I BELIEVE ANY MANUFACTURER DEFECT WHICH CAUSES A MOVING VEHICLE TO LOSE POWER AND BECOME UNCONTROLLABLE WHILE IN MOTION IS AN EXTREMELY SERIOUS AND POTENTIALLY DEADLY PROBLEM. *TR

POWER TRAIN
I BOUGHT THIS VAN WITH 13 MILES ON IT. THE VAN SHAKES/SHUDDERS ON AN INCLINE. THIS OCCURS FROM TIME TO TIME IN DRIVE BUT IS VERY BAD WHEN IN REVERSE. I NOTICED THIS FIRST WHEN GOING UP A HILL TO GET OUT OF OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. I FIRST NOTICED IT IN REVERSE WHEN BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY WHICH IS A VERY SLIGHT INCLINE. THE SHUDDERING OCCURS EACH TIME I GO UP THE HILL, NEAR OUR HOME. UNLESS THE GROUND IS COMPLETELY FLAT OR I AM BACKING DOWN AN INCLINE, REVERSE FEELS LIKE AN OLD STICK SHIFT THAT "TREMBLES" AS YOU BACK UP OR ACCELERATE. I DID NOT BUY "NEW" TO HAVE ISSUES LIKE THIS. THE VAN HAS LESS THAN 30 MILES ON IT. *TR
