ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY WIFE'S 2010 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN IS EXPERIENCING THE EXACT ISSUE DESCRIBED IN RECALL L02 AND DESCRIBED HERE... HTTPS://REPAIRPAL.COM/RECALL/11V139000 BUT OUR VIN NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. DETAILS OF THE ISSUE: WHEN DRIVING ON VARIOUS STREETS (MORE OFTEN WHEN ON NEIGHBORHOOD STREETS), THE VAN RANDOMLY SHUTS OFF. THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS REMAIN ON. THE VAN CAN BE PUT INTO NEUTRAL OR PARK AND RESTARTED WITHOUT ISSUE. IT HAS HAPPENED ABOUT EIGHT TIMES IN THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS AND A FEW TIMES IN DANGEROUS SITUATIONS. IT HAPPENS WHEN DRIVING STRAIGHT OR TURNING.

SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE
CAR STALLS OUT OF NOWHERE AND I LOSE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON AFTER IT'S STALLED. I HAVE NEARLY GOTTEN INTO AN ACCIDENT TWICE BUT IT HAS STALLED MORE THAN THAT. IT WAS IN MOTION FROM SPEEDS OF 25-40 MPH ON CITY STREETS. TWICE ON A TURN AND 6 TIMES GOING STRAIGHT.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
THE VEHICLE HAS SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 15 TIMES OVER THE LAST 2 YEARS. WHILE DRIVING, USUALLY AT SLOWER SPEEDS BUT ONCE ON THE FREEWAY AND A FEW TIMES AT ABOUT 45 MPH, THE ABS LIGHT COMES ON AND THEN EVERYTHING SHUTS OFF -- ENGINE, POWER STEERING, BRAKES -- EVERYTHING. IT IS A MIRACLE IT HASN'T KILLED US YET. WE HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY CAN NOT REPLICATE IT OR FIND ANY CODE THAT IS THE PROBLEM. IT IS NOT THE IGNITION RECALL AS WE HAVE HAD THAT FIXED. DURING MY RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE TIPM (TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE) IS EITHER DEFECTIVE, OR DAMAGED FROM WEATHER EXPOSURE. SPARATIC POWER ISSUES ARE PRESENT CAUSING ODD THINGS TO GO WRONG, FROM THE BATTERY BEING DRAINED, TO BACKLIGHT FLICKERING ON THE DASH, TO UPON EXITING THE VEHICLE ATTEMPTING TO LOCK VEHICLE TO ONLY HAVE IT UNLOCK AGAIN, TO ALSO UPON LOCKING, HAVING THE FRONT WINDOWS RANDOMLY GO DOWN.

WHEELS
VAN WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY, STARTED WASHING THE BACK DRIVERS SIDE TIRE RIM ON THE VAN AND THE VALVE STEM POPPED OFF AND THE TIRE COMPLETELY DEFLATED FROM JUST BARELY TOUCHING IT WITH A RAG!! SECOND TIRE THAT HAS DONE THIS. TWO WEEKS AGO ANOTHER TIRE WAS LOW ON AIR, STOPPED AT A GAS STATION TO FILL IT UP WITH AIR AND THE VALVE STEM BROKE OFF AS SOON AS HE TRIED TO FILL IT AND COMPLETELY DEFLATED. WE HAD TO PUT A RUBBER VALVE STEM INTO THAT TIRE. THIS IS OUR FAMILY VEHICLE WITH A 9, 6, AND 5 YEAR OLD RIDING IN THIS CAR. IF THE VALVE STEM BROKE THAT EASILY IT COULD'VE HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND WE COULD'VE BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT WHERE MY CHILDREN COULD'VE GOTTEN HURT!
