Sudden loss of power by model year
What owners say
After refueling the engine cut off and lost all power in the van while turning into a parking lot. This happens consistantly after refueling. The van will begin to shake then cut off completely. I am able to restart it again and gain full power. Resently, it cuts off after refueling and in the rain.
Letter from complaint regarding problems with his 2006 dodge caravan 3759 VIN; the vehicle was repossessed on sept 30, 2010 and now has a recall on it; he is seeking help in having the vehicle returned to him. *kb the consumer stated the vehicle seemed to lose power and made noises when going up a hill. Also, all of the instruments on the dashboard went out, when the consumer hit a bump in the road.
Tl*the contact owns a 2006 dodge caravan. While driving various speeds in rainy weather conditions, the belts in the vehicle become wet when driving through an inch or more of water. As a result, the vehicle will have reduced power, a loss of power steering, and the alternator will reduce its conductivity. When the failure occurs, the contact is unable to make any turns due to the loss of power steering. He has to wait until the belts dry before the power steering can become operable again. The vehicle has not been taken to a dealer and no repairs have been made. The contact is in the process of notifying the manufacturer. The failure mileage was 22,000 and current mileage was 50,000.
I own a 2006 dodge grand caravan with 42,000 miles on it. The rack-in-pinion power steering system is failing and leaking power steering fluid, causing a loss of power steering, which is a potential safety hazard. According to the chrysler dealer that is doing the repair, chrysler repaired 10,000 of these in february alone. They admit there is a manufacture defect in the 2005-2006 models of the caravan. Chrysler is toying with the idea of providing assistance with the repair, which will cost me about $800.00. (because I am 5,000 miles past the warranty).
