ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
PERIODICALLY, THE ENGINE OF OUR 2004 GRAND CARAVAN SPUTTERS AND DIES WITHOUT WARNING. TYPICALLY THIS HAPPENS RIGHT AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK. UPON LEAVING THE GAS STATION, THE VAN RUNS NORMALLY FOR A MINUTE OR TWO, THEN CUTS OUT ALL TOGETHER. USUALLY THIS HAPPENS JUST AS WE ARE PULLING OUT OF THE STATION INTO TRAFFIC. ONCE THE VAN IS RE-STARTED, IT RUNS ROUGHLY FOR A MINUTE, THEN QUITE NORMALLY. THIS FIRST OCCURRED IN LATE 2009 AND HAPPENED INFREQUENTLY FOR A TIME. THE OLDER THE VAN BECOMES, THE MORE FREQUENTLY IT HAPPENS - NOW ON ALMOST EVERY FILL-UP. RELATED TO THIS ISSUE, PERIODICALLY AFTER STARTING THE VAN AT HOME, WITH A NEARLY FULL TANK OF GAS, IT RUNS FINE FOR A MINUTE OR TWO, THEN THE ENGINE SEEMS TO GO INTO IDLE AND COMPLETELY FAILS TO RESPOND TO THE GAS PEDAL. TYPICALLY THIS HAPPENS AFTER STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN NEAR HOME. THE ENGINE RUNS, BUT THERE IS NO ACCELERATION. WE DRIFT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, BRAKE TO A STOP, WAIT A MINUTE (SOMETIMES SHIFT TO PARK), THEN TRY THE GAS PEDAL AGAIN. THE VAN WILL RESPOND NORMALLY AT THAT POINT AND RUN FOR THE REST OF THE DAY WITHOUT FURTHER TROUBLE. (THIS SEEMS TO HAPPEN MORE OFTEN WHEN OUTSIDE TEMPERATURES ARE BETWEEN 50 AND 65 DEGREES.) WE HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE EXAMINED A NUMBER OF TIMES BY SEVERAL VERY REPUTABLE AUTO SERVICES AND NONE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO IDENTIFY OR CORRECT THE PROBLEM.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MY WIFE WAS DRIVING EARLY MORNING, WHILE ENTERING THE FREEWAY, SHE ACCELERATED AND CROSSED LANES. WHEN SHE REMOVED HER FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR, THE VAN KEPT ACCELERATING. SHE WAS BETWEEN TWO SEMI TRUCKS SO SHE TAPPED THE BRAKES AND STARTED HITTING THE CRUISE CONTROL BUTTONS. THE VAN KEPT ACCELERATING. SHE WAS ABLE TO CHANGE LANES TOWARDS THE BERM AND STARTED TO APPLY THE BRAKES. SHE REACHED A SPEED OF ABOUT 85 MPH. AS SHE WAS BRAKING, THE ENGINE WAS STILL TRYING TO ACCELERATE. SHE WAS ABLE TO PULL THE VAN OFF THE ROAD AND EVENTUALLY WAS ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE AND TURNED THE IGNITION OFF. THERE WAS SMOKE COMING FROM THE BRAKES FROM THE FORCED STOP. RESTARTING THE VAN AFTER A FEW MINUTES, SHE PROCEEDED SAFELY TO WORK. AFTER RETHINKING THE SITUATION, SHE CONTACTED DODGE AND HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY TESTED THE VAN AND FOUND NO CODES IN THE COMPUTER. THE FOLLOWING WEEK, A TECHNICIAN TEST DROVE THE VAN AND IT ACCELERATED UNCONTROLLABLY ALSO. HE WROTE THAT THE PEDAL WAS NOT STUCK. HE PUT THE VAN IN NEUTRAL TWICE AND TURNED THE KEY OFF, AND RESTARTED THE VAN AND THE RPM'S WERE AT 4,000. HE THEN PULLED OFF THE ROAD. HE WAITED A WHILE AND THEN RESTARTED THE VAN AND IT RAN NORMAL. THE TECHNICIAN DID STATE THAT THERE WERE SOME CODES (C212A, B192D, & B18A8) THE DEALER CONTACTED CHRYSLER CORP. AND THEY SENT A TECHNICIANS OUT TO INVESTIGATE. *TR

POWER TRAIN
THERE IS A LOUD "THUD" WHEN IT IS PUT INTO ANY GEAR, AND YOU CAN EVEN FEEL IT. ALSO, THE TRANSMISSION BOGS DOWN A LOT AND DOESN'T LIKE TO SHIFT INTO GEAR WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING, IT'S VERY SLUGGISH. IT'S BEEN LIKE THIS SINCE WE FIRST TRIED IT OUT. WE EVEN HAD IT REPROGRAMMED BECAUSE THERE WAS SOME SORT OF SERVICE BULLETIN, AND THAT DIDN'T HELP AT ALL. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, STEERING
SIGNIFICANT RISK ? COMPLETE LOSS OF CONTROL DUE TO POOR DESIGN (UNRESOLVED MANUFACTURER KNOWN ISSUE): DURING A MODERATE RAIN STORM, THE SERPENTINE BELT ONCE AGAIN SLIPPED OFF THE PULLEYS, WHICH DISABLED POWER STEERING, CAUSING A COMPLETE LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AS IT WAS ACCELERATING FROM A STOP (MY WIFE WAS UNABLE TO FIGHT THE WEIGHT OF THE VEHICLE). LUCKILY, THE VEHICLE HAD JUST LEFT A STOPLIGHT AND HAD ONLY ATTAINED ABOUT 20 - 25 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED BEFORE HITTING ANYONE OR ANYTHING IN A VERY CROWDED PEDESTRIAN AREA OF DOWNTOWN SAN DIEGO'S HISTORIC GASLAMP QUARTER. GIVEN THE REDUCED VISIBILITY FROM THE RAIN AND NIGHTTIME CITY ILLUMINATION, IT?S AMAZING THIS DID NOT RESULT IN PEDESTRIAN INJURIES OR EVEN DEATHS OR DAMAGE TO WAITING TAXIS OR PARKED CARS. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO THIS VEHICLE IN THE RAIN, BUT THE FIRST IN WHICH TOTAL LOSS OF CONTROL OCCURRED. THE FIRST INSTANCE ALSO OCCURRED AT NIGHT, IN THE RAIN, WHILE WAITING IN HEAVY AIRPORT TERMINAL TRAFFIC. NUMEROUS REPORTS OF DODGE GRAND CARAVAN SERPENTINE BELTS SLIPPING OFF IN THE RAIN CAN BE FOUND ONLINE IN DODGE FORUMS. A TECHNICAL BULLETIN WAS ISSUED FOR PRIOR MODEL YEARS BUT DOES NOT INCLUDE THE 2000 MODEL YEAR. ALSO OF NOTE, AFTER THE VEHICLE STOPPED IT BEGAN TO OVERHEAT AS THE WATER PUMP WAS ALSO DISABLED BY THE LOSS OF THE SERPENTINE BELT. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I HAVE BEEN HAVING INTERMITTENT ISSUES WITH MY HEADLAMPS NOT TURNING ON. IF I JIGGLE THE FUSE BOX OR PULL THE RELAY OUT THEY WILL COME ON. THE ISSUE HAS GOTTEN PROGRESSIVELY WORSE TO THE POINT THAT I HAVE TO MANIPULATE THE FUSE BOX TO GET MY HEADLIGHTS ON AT ALL. ALL OTHER LIGHTS WORK. I FEEL VERY UNSAFE IN MY VAN SINCE I HAVE TO POP THE HOOD EVERY TIME I NEED HEADLIGHTS AND SOMETIMES IT CAN TAKE SEVERAL MINUTES BEFORE THEY WORK. AS A WOMAN IT IS NOT SAFE TO BE IN A PUBLIC PLACE WITH MY VAN HOOD UP. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE DODGE CORRECT THIS DEFECT! *TR

AIR BAGS
MY AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO. I HAVE HAD MY VAN IN SEVERAL TIMES FOR SERVICE AND NO ONE HAS PAID ATTENTION TO THE WARNING LIGHT. WHEN I HAD MY VAN IN THIS LAST WEEKEND DUE TO FAULTY HEADLIGHTS AND HAD THE WARNING LIGHT TESTED. I WAS TOLD THAT THE AIRBAG SYSTEM IS NOT FUNCTIONAL. SO, I HAVE NO WORKING AIRBAGS IN MY VAN CURRENTLY. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY/WIPER
ALL THE DASH LIGHTS / ELECTRONICS GO OFF AND COME BACK ON INTERMITTENTLY ALONG WITH THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS TURNING ON AND OFF AT THE SAME TIME. THE POWER DOORS DO NOT WORK RELIABLY EITHER AS THEY HAVE CLOSED RANDOMLY WHILE OPEN. IT'S VERY DISTRACTING WHILE DRIVING AND WE FEEL IT PUTS US AT RISK OF AN ACCIDENT, OR WORSE, WHEN IT OCCURS. DEALERSHIP HAS PROBLEMS DIAGNOSING IT DO TO THE INTERMITTENT NATURE, BUT CAN PULL OFF BUNCHES OF CODES, WHEN HOOKED UP TO THEIR SCAN TOOL. HOWEVER, NONE OF THE ERROR CODES POINT TO WHAT CAUSED THE PROBLEM, JUST THAT A PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED. THEY REPLACED THE TPIM MODULE, BUT THAT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM AND THEY HAVE PRETTY MUCH GIVEN UP.. *TR

SUSPENSION
I'VE HAVE THIS 1998 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN, THE STRUT MOUNT HOUSING IS RUSTED SO BAD I'M AFRAID TO EVEN DRIVE IT ANYMORE. THE METAL IS ALMOST COMPLETELY RUSTED AWAY. THERE IS ONE RUSTED RING THAT HOLDS THE STRUT TO THE BODY. IT STARTED ABOUT 5 YEARS AGO WITH A SMALL RUST HOLE ON BOTH SIDE. I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST RUST FROM THE BAD WINTERS WE GET IN THE MIDWEST. WHEN MOVING AT A SLOW SPEED (15-20MPH) THE VAN FEELS LIKE YOUR ON A PITTED DIRT TRAIL AND NOTHING BUT SIDE TO SIDE SHAKING. THIS HAS TO BE A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE FOR BOTH THE DRIVER AND THE PEOPLE ON THE ROAD. I SEE THESE VANS ALL OVER THE PLACE AND THEY ALL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM!

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
CAR SHUT OFF IGNITION SWITCH WENT FROM RUN TO ACCESSORY. MULTIPLE OCCURRENCES RANGING FOR 30 FEET TO ABOUT 1/2 MILE OUT OF DRIVEWAY. OCCURRENCES WERE ALWAYS AFTER FIRST STARTING UP. I HAD A HEAVY KEY CHAIN WITH A LEATHERMAN MICRO ATTACHED. I REMOVED THE LEATHERMAN, AND DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY AND SPRAYED SILICONE IN IGNITION SWITCH AND CYCLED MULTIPLE TIMES. I HAVE NOT HAD AN OCCURRENCE SINCE. I DID NOTICE THAT THE 2010 WAS RECALLED FOR THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM I WAS EXPERIENCING. REFERENCE RECALL IS PASTED BELOW. THIS IS ALSO THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AS THE RECENT GM RECALL. RECALL DATE: MAR 01, 2011 MODEL AFFECTED: 2010 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN SUMMARY: CHRYSLER IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2010 DODGE JOURNEY, GRAND CARAVAN, AND CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY VEHICLES MANUFACTURER FROM AUGUST 3, 2009, THROUGH JUNE 17, 2010. SOME VEHICLES MAY EXPERIENCE INADVERTENT IGNITION KEY DISPLACEMENT FROM THE RUN TO ACCESSORY POSITION WHILE DRIVING CAUSING THE ENGINE TO SHUT OFF. CONSEQUENCE: ENGINE SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING COULD INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH. REMEDY: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE WIN MODULES FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING JULY 2011. OWNERS MAY CONTACT CHRYSLER AT 1-800-853-1403. POTENTIAL UNITS AFFECTED: 195798 NOTES: CHRYSLER GROUP LLC L02 & L25. *TR

TIRES:PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS, WHEELS
THE TPMS FAILED. THE VALVE STEM CRACKED OFF WHEN ADDING AIR. AIR WAS BEING ADDED BECAUSE THE VALVE STEM WAS LEAKING, AND THE TIRE WAS NEAR FLAT, AND I WANTED TO TAKE IT TO A REPAIR SHOP. THIS IS THE SECOND TPMS VALVE FAILURE I HAVE HAD. FORTUNATELY, BOTH OCCURRED AT A STANDSTILL. I SEE TALES ON THE INTERNET OF FAILURE AT HIGH SPEED, FOLLOWED BY VARY RAPID DECOMPRESSION AND TIRE FAILURE. EXPENSIVE, IF NOT UNSAFE. IN MY OWN CASE, WITH OVER 50 YEARS DRIVING EXPERIENCE AND 2 YEARS AS A MECHANIC, I HAVE NEVER SEEN A VALVE STEM FAILURE BEFORE. NOW, I HAVE TWO. EXPERT MECHANICS ARE ADVISING TO REPLACE THEM WITH STANDARD VALVES, AND I WILL. FROM AN ECONOMIC VIEW, THE SEVERAL FAILURES OF THE STEMS, AND STEM FAILURES, HAVE COST ME ABOUT 6 CENTS PER MILE. GAS HAS COST ME ABOUT 18 CENTS PER MILE (AT TODAYS COST). THUS, THE TPMS SYSTEM MAINTENANCE IS ABOUT 1/3 OF THE GAS COST. I DOUBT VERY SERIOUSLY THAT THE TPMS SYSTEM SAVES THAT MUCH IN GASOLINE USE. BUT FROM A SAFETY PERSPECTIVE, I AM NOT WILLING TO RISK SUDDEN DEPRESSURIZATION FOLLOWED BY TIRE DESTRUCTION AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THUS, I WILL BE PULLING THOSE OUT BEFORE MY NEXT HIGHWAY TRIP. AFTER TALKING WITH SEVERAL MECHANICS, LOOKING AT THE DESIGNS, AND LOOKING AT EXPERIENCES OF OTHERS, I CONCLUDE THAT TPMS IS A GOOD IDEA WITH A BAD EXECUTION. IF THEY ARE NOT (NEARLY AS SECURE) AS OLDER VALVE STEMS, THEY SHOULD BE DE-MANDATED. FINALLY, I NOTE THAT AT LEAST SOME OF THESE HAVE MERCURY IN THE PACKAGE AS A ROTARY SWITCH. AS MUCH AS WE ARE SPENDING TO REMOVE MERCURY FROM THE ENVIRONMENT . . . *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
TWICE DURING 2013, I HAD AN ISSUE WITH MY 2008 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. WITH NO WARNING AND NO APPARENT TRIGGERING MECHANISM, THE VAN?S HORN WOULD BEGIN A CONSTANT BLARING AND THE FRONT AND REAR WINDSHIELD WIPERS WOULD GO BACK AND FORTH. WHEN THIS HAPPENED, THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT DOWNSHIFT. THE INCIDENTS LASTED ONLY A COUPLE OF MINUTES EACH TIME. BOTH TIMES, I TOOK THE VAN TO THE LOCAL CHRYSLER SERVICE CENTER AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULD NOT ADDRESS THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE ISSUE. ON JANUARY 27, 2014, AFTER REMOTELY OPENING THE SLIDING DOOR BUT BEFORE STARTING THE CAR (I WAS STILL IN THE HOUSE), THE MINIVAN?S HORN BEGAN A CONSTANT BLARING, AND THE FRONT AND BACK WINDSHIELD WIPERS CAME ON. AFTER A FEW MINUTES WHEN IT BECAME APPARENT IT WOULD NOT STOP ON ITS OWN THIS TIME, I DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY TERMINALS, BUT NOTHING CHANGED. AFTER 30 MINUTES, I DROVE THE VAN TO THE LOCAL CHRYSLER SERVICE CENTER. DURING THE 15 MINUTE DRIVE, THE CAR WOULD NOT DOWNSHIFT AT ALL. WHEN I ARRIVED AT THE SERVICE CENTER, THE MECHANIC DISCONNECTED THE FUSE (OR POSSIBLY THE TIPM) TO STOP THE CAR?S HORN AND WIPERS. AFTER A MECHANIC INSPECTED THE MINIVAN, THE SERVICE MANAGER INFORMED ME THAT THE TIPM WAS BAD AND WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. I PAID THE ENTIRE COST OF $818.00 ($610.00 FOR THE TIPM AND $208.00 FOR LABOR). *TR

ENGINE, STEERING
WHILE DRIVING,THE ENGINE STALLED. MY WIFE HAD TO PULL OVER WHILE TURNING TO RESTART THE VAN. THIS HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY. THIS ISSUE HAPPENS WEATHER THE ENGINE IS COLD OR WARMED UP. WHEN THE VAN STALLS, AN ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. THE LIGHT GOES OFF AFTER A FEW DAYS. MY MECHANIC CAN'T FIND THE PROBLEM. I SEE THAT CHRYSLER HAD A RECALL FOR THEIR 2010 MODELS BECAUSE OF AN IGNITION SWITCH ISSUE. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE. MY WIFE IS AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VAN BECAUSE SHE DOESN'T KNOW WHEN THE VAN WILL STALL AND LOOSE ALL POWER. THIS IS SERIOUS BECAUSE WHEN THE VAN STALLS, SHE LOOSES ALL POWER STEERING. MY WIFE HAS TO TRY TO PUT THE VAN INTO NEUTRAL TO GET IT STARTED WHILE DRIVING AND OR TURNING THE VEHICLE. THIS MODEL YEAR VAN HAS NO RECALLS FROM DODGE FOR THIS ISSUE . WHAT AM I TO DO . I DO NOT WANT TO WAIT FOR AN ACCIDENT TO HAPPEN BEFORE SOMEONE FIXES THIS ISSUE. I HAVE READ THE CHAT FORUMS, AND MANY PEOPLE ARE FRUSTRATED BECAUSE THERE ARE NO SOLUTIONS TO THIS PROBLEM. *TR
