ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS BEGINNING ON DECEMBER 12, 2014 MY 08 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN SXT WOULD HAVE RANDOM ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTIONS INCLUDING SYNCED, INTERMITTENT ACTIVATION OF HORNS, FRONT WIPERS, REAR WIPERS, FRONT WASHER FLUID SPRAY, REAR WASHER FLUID SPRAY, AND DOOR LOCKS. THESE ISSUES WOULD GENERALLY COME TOGETHER IN "EPISODES" THAT COULD LAST FROM ABOUT A MINUTE TO ABOUT 10 MINUTES. THESE EPISODES COULD OCCUR IN RAPID SUCCESSION, SEPARATED BY ONLY A FEW SECONDS, OR THEY MIGHT HAVE 5-10 MINUTES OR SOMETIMES DAYS BETWEEN HAPPENINGS. THIS WOULD CAUSE SUDDEN LOSS OF VISIBILITY WHILE DRIVING, AS THE SPRAYERS WOULD COVER THE WINDSHIELD WITH DROPS BUT THE WIPERS WOULD NOT COMPLETE A PASS TO REMOVE THE FLUID. IT WAS PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS AT NIGHT, SINCE THE DROPS WOULD REFRACT LIGHT AND MAKE VISIBILITY ALMOST ZERO. THIS ALSO RESULTED IN BEING LOCKED OUT OF THE VEHICLE ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, THE REMOTE "CLICKER" COULD NOT BE USED TO UNLOCK OR OPEN DOORS OR LIFT-GATE. THE ONLY WAY TO ENTER THE VEHICLE WAS TO USE THE PHYSICAL KEY AND FORCE THE LOCK TO TURN AGAINST THE PRESSURE OF THE POWERED DOOR LOCK MOTOR REPEATEDLY RE-LOCKING THE DOORS OTHER INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS. WHY DOESN'T DODGE RECALL AND FIX THIS PROBLEM? *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA AT 20 MPH THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF (ENGINE STOPPED RUNNING, LOST POWER STEERING, LOST POWER BRAKES AND IM GUESSING THE AIR BAGS). IMMEDIATELY CHECKED THE IGNITION AND OBSERVED THE KEY TO BE SECURELY IN THE "ON" POSITION (IT DID NOT MOVE TO THE ACCESSORY POSITION). WAS ABLE TO IMMEDIATELY RESTART VEHICLE. TOOK VEHICLE TO DODGE DEALERSHIP AND THEY DID NOT FIND ANY PROBLEM WITH THE IGNITION. THERE WERE NO ERROR CODES IN THE VEHICLE COMPUTER. DEALERSHIP SUGGESTED REMOVING ALL EXTRA KEYS/KEY RINGS...SO DID SO. APPROXIMATELY 2 WEEKS LATER, WITH ONLY THE CAR KEY SECURELY IN THE IGNITION (NO KEY RINGS, ETC) AGAIN WHILE DRIVING IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA AT 20 MPH THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF (ENGINE STOPPED RUNNING, LOST POWER STEERING, LOST POWER BRAKES AND IM GUESSING THE AIR BAGS) AND ALMOST RAN A STOP SIGN. IMMEDIATELY CHECKED THE IGNITION AND OBSERVED THE KEY TO BE SECURELY IN THE "ON" POSITION (IT DID NOT MOVE TO THE ACCESSORY POSITION). THIS RECURRING ISSUE IS GOING TO RESULT IN A DEATH. DODGE NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE IMMEDIATELY. *TR
