ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHEN TURNING THE KEY OVER TO START THE VEHICLE IT WILL KEEP TURNING OVER BUT NOT CRANK AND IT WILL NOT STOP TURNING OVER UNTIL YOU SWITCH THE KEY IN OFF POSITION. ALSO, AT TIMES THE VAN WILL STALL WHILE RUNING AND SHUT OFF. SO FAR IN PARKED POSITION BUT I AM AFRAID IT COULD HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING. THE FUEL PUMP WILL KEEP RUNING AFTER THE IGNITION HAS BEEN SHUT OFF AND THE KEY TAKEN OUT. THIS RUNS THE BATTERY DEAD AND WILL LEAVE YOU SITTING.

POWER TRAIN
I WAS DRIVING UP A HILL ON A BRIDGE AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I LOSS POWER TO MY WHEELS OF THE VAN. I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED BY 3 DIFFERENT CARS BECAUSE I COULD NOT DRIVE ANY FURTHER. I WAS LEFT STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF A BRIDGE. I GOT THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A MECHANIC AND THE DIAGNOSIS WAS THAT THE TRANSMISSION PUMP INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION HAD GONE OUT. I WAS TOLD THAT MY EXACT YEAR AND VEHICLE FIT A TRANSMISSION PUMP RECALL FOR THE EXACT ISSUE. AFTER CALLING CHRYSLER'S RECALL HOTLINE, THEY DID A SEARCH OF MY VIN AND SAD THAT MY VIN NUMBER DID NOT MATCH FOR A TRANSMISSION RECALL. AND THEY TOLD ME THERE'S NOTHING THEY COULD DO ABOUT IT. AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE I HAVE FOUND THAT THE 2015 DODGE CARAVAN DID HAVE RECALLS FOR THE TRANSMISSION PUMP IN 2016.THE RECALL CENTRE TOLD ME THAT IT WAS VIN NUMBER SPECIFIC ON THE RECALL AND THAT MINE WAS NOT GOING TO BE COVERED.

POWER TRAIN
2ND TIME WRITING ABOUT OUR VAN'S POWERTRAIN. THIS IS AFTER BUHLER DODGE IN HAZLET, NJ FIXED & PUT IN A BRAND NEW TRANSMISSION. WE NEVER HAD ANY WARNINGS OF ANY PROBLEMS BEFORE THE MALFUNCTION UNTIL WE WERE DRIVING THAT DAY. THE RPM'S WOULD JUST ACCELERATE ON IT'S OWN WITHOUT GAS PEDAL AND ALSO IF WE HIT GAS PEDAL. IT WAS SCARY & HONESTLY DON'T KNOW HOW ANYONE DIDN'T HIT US FROM BEHIND. ON 4/22/2021 IS WHEN IT HAPPENED. WAS AFRAID THE CAR WOULD BLOW SOMETHING. WE TOWED IT TO THE DODGE DEALER. WHERE WE BOUGHT THE CAR. IT'S ONLY 4 AND HALF YEARS OLD WITH 85,000 MILES. WE ASKED HOW COME NO SIGNS OR WARNINGS & THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TOLD US WE WOULDN'T KNOW. IT'S CAUSE BY A LEAK. I SAID IT WON'T SHOW PARKED AT OUR HOUSE ON THE SERVICE. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TOLD US KNOW IT ONLY HAPPENS WHEN DRIVING. SO TO ME THAT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE SO NO WARNING & WE WOULDN'T KNOW. TO ME THAT SAYS THAT'S THE MANUFACTURER/DEALER'S FAULT THEN. THEY TOLD US NO IT'S OVER WARRANTY WITH MILEAGE. I SAID IT'S ONLY 4 AND HALF YEARS OLD & NEVER HAD THIS HAPPEN BEFORE. SO ANYWAY WE PAID $6102.22 FOR NEW TRANSMISSION. TODAY 5/2/2021 NOT EVEN A WEEK SINCE WE PICKED UP & PAID FOR REPAIRS WE TOOK A RIDE AND SAME EXACT THING RPM RACED & JUST BARELY GOT IT OFF ROAD. ONCE AGAIN THOUGHT WE WOULD GET REAR ENDED. THE DEALER ISN'T OPEN TODAY BUT WE TOWED IT THERE. THIS HAS BEEN SCARY, & BEYOND FRUSTRATING. WE COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY HURT & THE DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT TELLS US NO WAY WE WOULD NO OR WARNING. ALSO, THEY DID A MULTI-POINT INSPECTION THEY FIXED OUR VAN. SO THIS SHOULDN'T OF HAPPENED AGAIN AT ALL & IN LESS THE A WEEK. SO THIS JUST HAPPENS I DON'T BUY THAT. DEALER ADDRESS BUHLER & BITTER INC. 3290 HIGHWAY 35 HAZLET, NJ 07730. (732)-264-5000. PLEASE INVESTIGATE CAUSE THIS IS BEYOND NERVE RACKING & I AM SO NERVOUS TO GET IT BACK TO DRIVE AGAIN.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
VAN RANDOMLY DOES NOT START/DIES. BATTERY HAS BEEN REPLACED FIXED ISSUE FOR A DAY OR TWO THEN STARTED DOING THE SAME THING. HAS BEEN TO A LOCAL MECHANIC COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING ON COMPUTER. TOOK TO CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP REPLACED KEY FOB AND REPROGRAMMED WCM TESTED OK. BROUGHT IT HOME, NEXT DAY ISSUE HAD RETURNED. I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND SEEMS TO BE A RECURRING PROBLEM IN THESE VEHICLES. USUALLY THE TIPM. SAYS THERE WAS A RECALL BUT THAT HAD BEEN OMITTED. THIS COULD BE A VERY SERIOUS/HAZARDOUS PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE CONSIDERED AGAIN FOR THE RECALL. OBVIOUSLY DEFECTIVE IF SO MANY HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THE NHTSA SHOULD RECONSIDER THIS RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED IN AN ACCIDENT DUE THE THE VEHICLE STALLING OUT.

THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE FOR 2008-2010 CARAVAN, BUT OBVIOUSLY IT NEEDS TO BE EXTENDED. THIS IS A DANGEROUS ISSUE
