UNKNOWN OR OTHER
2010 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN SXT 4.0L HAS STALLED 4 TIMES WHILE DRIVING SPEEDS OF 15MPH, 30MPH AND TWICE AT 45MPH. WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLS YOU LOSE POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES. THE RADIO STILL WORKS AND THE ONLY THING THAT APPEARS ON INSTRUMENT PANEL IS THE STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I PULLED OVER AND RESTARTED THE CAR, NOW I SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL AND RESTART. I HAVE HAD 2 RECALLS COMPLETED ON IGNITION SWITCH AND I ONLY USE THE ONE KEY SO IT IS NOT THE WEIGHT OF KEY CHAIN. THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE A FAMILY CAR AND NOW MY WIFE WILL NOT DRIVE FOR FEAR OF THIS HAPPENING WITH KIDS IN VEHICLE AND CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. COME ON CHRYSLER/DODGE YOUR BETTER THAN THIS... WELL AT LEAST I THOUGHT YOU WERE! I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT BUT I KNOW I WILL GET A RUN AROUND AND NO ONE WILL HAVE EVERY HEARD ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, BUT ITS ALL OVER EVERY FORUM DISCUSSION.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2010 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN VAN IN THE CITY LIMITS, WHEN I HIT THE BRAKE TO SLOW DOWN OR TO ANTICIPATE TO STOP, THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF WHILE THE CAR IS STILL IN MOTION. THE RADIO, LIGHTS AND AIR CONDITIONER DO NOT SHUT DOWN *(THEY STAY ON). WHEN THIS HAPPENS, I TAKE OUT THE KEY, REINSTALL IT BACK TO THE IGNITION SWITCH AND CRANK IT TO TURN THE ENGINE ON AND IT DOES TURN ON. THIS IS HAPPENING EVERYDAY, AT LEAST TWICE PER DAY.

POWER TRAIN
'TAKATA RECALL' WHEN DRIVING AT SPEEDS OF 55-60 . THEN APPLYING THE BRAKE QUICKLY TO STOP THE TRANSMISSION JUMPS FORWARD AT TIMES. ALSO ON OCCASIONS THE WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE FOR A HOUR OR SO , IF YOU APPLY THE BRAKE WHEN AT A LIGHT OR STOP SIGN THE VEHICLES R.P.M WILL IDLE AT 2-2.5 AS OPPOSED TO 1-1.5 . FEELING AS THOUGH IT'S LUNGIN YOU FORWARD.. I HAVE A WARRANTY ON THIS VEHICLE WHICH IS UP ON 2-26-18 . THIS VEHICLE ONLY HAS 83,000 MILES ON IT . HOPEFULLY THIS TIME THEY FIX THE ISSUE. I HAVE OWNED TWO OTHER DODGE VANS AND THEY ALL HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. BUT DUE TO THE FACT , THERE ARE NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS ON THEY NEVER CATCH THE ISSUE. SO IT'S NOT UNTIL MY WARRANTY RUNS OUT AND I HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET THAT THEY FIND THE ISSUE. IM FRUSTRATED DUE TO THE FACT , AFTER YOU AD THE COST OF OWNERSHIP AND THE PLACE THAT SOLD YOU THE CAR , SAYS THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE PROBLEM. SOUNDS LIKE THEY DON'T WANT TO EAT THE COST OF THE REPAIR. ALSO SOUNDS LIKE ONCE YOU SIGN ON THE DOTTED LINE , THEY COULD CARE LESS WHAT HAPPENS!JUST VENTING ....

THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH MY WIRELESS IGNITION NODE (WIN) THAT CAUSES MY VAN'S ENGINE TO SHUT OFF RANDOMLY WHILE IT IS BEING DRIVEN. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 25 TIMES OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS, DURING TIMES OF HIGH SPEED, LOW SPEED, AND STOPPED AT INTERSECTIONS. THERE IS ZERO WARNING AND THE ISSUE DOES NOT TRIGGER ANY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THERE IS A RECALL RELATED TO THIS EXACT ISSUE (R03/NHTSA 14V-373) THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN ISSUED FOR "MOST" 2010 DODGE GRAND CARAVANS, BUT I AM TOLD MY VIN DOES NOT QUALIFY! THIS RECALL MUST BE UPDATED TO INCLUDE ALL 2010 DODGE GRAND CARAVANS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THE REPAIR NEEDED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM IS OVER $1000 AND THIS ISSUE POSES A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY HAZARD!

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
MY DODGE GRAND CARAVAN, 2010, HAS STARTED CUTTING OFF ON ME WHILE DRIVING. MY STABILIZER LIGHT COMES ON, RPMS DROP TO 0, AND I LOSE MY POWER STEERING ALONG WITH LOW BREAK REACTION. I FEEL THIS IS VERY UNSAFE. I HAVE CHANGED SEVERAL SENSORS TO NO AVAIL. I STARTED DOING RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THEY HAVE SAFETY RECALL L25. CALLED MY LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP TO SET UP THE REPAIR, ONLY TO FIND OUT MY VAN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL, EVEN THOUGH IT IS IN THE ALOTTED YEARS (2008-2010). WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO. THIS COULD EASILY CAUSE A WRECK
