SERVICE BRAKES
I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE AND MY ANTI-LOCK BRAKES SYSTEM RESPONDED TO THE ICE ON THE ROAD AND I PROCEEDED TO PUMP MY BRAKE PEDAL TO SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN AND THEN I NOTICED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL WOULD GO ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR TO STOP THE VEHICLE SO I GOT HOME AND CHECKED THE BRAKE LINES FOR LEAKS AND DIDN'T FIND ANY AND THAT MY BRAKE RESERVOIR WAS FULL. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
OUR 2011 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN STARTED HAVING MAJOR ELECTRICAL ISSUES, WHERE THE VEHICLE WOULD RUN, BUT THE BLINKERS, THE DASH LIGHTS, HEATER/AC, RADIO, AND BLUETOOTH WOULD ALL NOT WORK AT ONCE. THE WIN MODULE HAD TO BE REPLACED. AS SOON AS THAT WAS DONE, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. THEN, SHORTLY AFTERWARDS, WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN OUR ENCLOSED GARAGE WE NOTICED A PHANTOM NOISE COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. AFTER INVESTIGATION WE WERE ABLE TO DETERMINE THAT THE VEHICLE HAD NOT TURNED ALL THE WAY OFF, BUT WAS IN FACT STILL RUNNING AND PRODUCING CARBON MONOXIDE. WE TRIED TURNING IT ON AND OFF AGAIN SEVERAL TIMES TO SEE IF IT WOULD TURN ALL OF THE WAY OFF, TO NO AVAIL. LET ME BE CLEAR. OUR VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF. IT WAS IN AN ENCLOSED GARAGE WITH THE USUAL AMOUNT OF VENTILATION, I.E. VERY LITTLE. LIKE MOST HOMES, WE HAVE BEDROOMS BOTH ABOVE THE GARAGE, AS WELL AS ONE NEXT TO IT. SO, BEING UNABLE TO MAKE OUR CAR SAFE TO PARK IN THE GARAGE, WE HAD BACK IT OUT INTO THE DRIVEWAY, WHERE IT RAN UNTIL THE BATTERY DIED. THEN, MY HUSBAND, DROVE THE CAR TWICE TO THE REPAIR SHOPS AND BOTH TIMES THE ODOMETER STOPPED WORKING, THE GAS PEDAL WOULD NOT WORK, ALL DASHBOARD LIGHTS CAME ON, HE COULD NOT ACCELERATE, AND THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT. THE SECOND TIME IT DIED ON A MAIN ROAD, AND HAD TO BE TOWED. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
OUR 2008 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN HAD AN ISSUE ON THE EVENING OF APRIL 21ST, 2014 WHERE THE KEY JUST FELL OUT OF THE IGNITION. IT DID NOT HAVE AN IMPACT ON BEING ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR, BUT IT JUST FELL OUT. THE NEXT MORNING THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AND THE KEY WOULD NOT TURN OR COME BACK OUT ONCE IT WAS PLACED INTO THE IGNITION. WE HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED TO CARMAX WHERE THEY COMPLETED THE REPAIR AND WE WERE FINE WITH THEIR SERVICE. WE ORIGINALLY PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN NOVEMBER 2011. WE WERE LATER NOTIFIED BY DODGE ABOUT A SAFETY RECALL THAT INVOLVED A WIN MODULE AND THEY DESCRIBED THE POSSIBLE ISSUES EXACTLY AS WHAT HAPPENED TO US. SINCE WE HAD ALREADY GOTTEN THE WORK DONE AND THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN DRIVING GREAT SINCE CARMAX DID THE REPAIR, WE FELT DODGE SHOULD REIMBURSE US SINCE THAT IS WHAT THEIR RECALL NOTIFICATION STATED. NOW DODGE IS SAYING IT WAS A DIFFERENT PART AND THEY WILL NOT HONOR THEIR OWN RECALL. CARMAX WAS AWESOME AND WE ARE VERY HAPPY WITH THE VEHICLE, BUT NOT HAPPY WITH DODGE SINCE THEY ACKNOWLEDGE A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND REFUSE TO HONOR IT. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE VEHICLE, WHILE DRIVING, BEGAN TO HONK THE HORN, WINDSHIELD WIPERS TURNED ON, WIPER FLUID BEGAN SPRAYING, LIGHTS FLASHED. THIS CONTINUED FOR APPROXIMATELY FIVE STRAIGHT MINUTES. TURNING THE CAR OFF DID NOT STOP THE ACTIONS, NEITHER DID RESTARTING THE CAR. EVENTUALLY THE MALFUNCTION STOPPED ON IT'S OWN. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING THROUGH DODGE SERVICE AND WAS TOLD TOTAL INTEGRATED POWER MODULE NEEDED REPLACING BUT COULD NOT BE ORDERED. THEY STATED CAR WAS SAFE TO DRIVE. THIS CONTINUED TO HAPPEN SPORADICALLY. AT ONE POINT, THE VEHICLE MALFUNCTIONED AND IN ADDITIONAL TO PREVIOUSLY LISTED PROBLEMS, THE VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES WHEN IT OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. WHEN WE WERE FINALLY ABLE TO ORDER THE PART, TWO MONTHS LATER, IT WAS REPLACED. AFTER THREE WEEKS WITH THE NEW TIPM, THE VEHICLE ONCE AGAIN, STARTED TO MALFUNCTION BY HORNS HONKING, WIPERS TURNING OFF, FLUID SPRAYING, LIGHTS FLASHING AND SO ON. I AM TOLD BY DODGE THAT I WILL NEED TO PAY FOR ANOTHER $100 DIAGNOSTIC TEST TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. THEY CONTINUE TO STATE THAT THE CAR IS SAFE TO DRIVE DESPITE INTERMITTENT AND UNEXPECTED LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. *TR
