What owners say

Filed Apr 11, 2022 · Airbags, Engine · MI

The problems we are experiencing is the airbag indicator light keeps coming on and off dinging every time it comes on. The other issue we have experienced is the engine is in need of repair but the check engine light does not come on to let mechanics find the problem. However once every three months the light will come in but once vehicle is turned off the light goes off never to come back on until the next time a few months later. The check engine light issue has been going on for two years.

Just resolved an ignition recall problem on the vehicle because of problems with independent wipers going off, horn going off,vehicle stalling while driving and doors locking and unlocking..dodge replaced ignition and win module but problem began when I tried using AC or heater..I just brought the car 2 months ago and it has stalled on hgihway 3 times and on the road numerous times. Im afraid to drive the car. The check engine light turns on but goes out intermitently. Sounds like the itpm problem everyone is having ..cant afford another 2000 dollars to fix

At about 140,000. Check engine light came on then off and on again. Replaced gas cap. Engine light still came off and on, one or other for extend time. Returned and after a check they said I needed to get it back when light was on. Finally last march at 153,000. I returned and they informed me it was my converter. I feel that the converter failed prematurely and after complaints did not get me any where with dodge I am complaining that the part, which had not been damaged, fail prematurely and that it is a defective part.

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 dodge caravan. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to the dealer due to the check engine light remaining illuminated. The dealer replaced the evap leak detection pump, sealed the fuel cap and reprogrammed the PCM. The manufacturer was notified who was still researching the failure. The failure mileage was 65,659.

Filed Jul 13, 2010 · Brakes, Electrical · 17,297 miles · NC

Brake system issues and possible front-end issues in general, electrical issues. Had to replace front tires at 18729 miles. Brakes pads and rotors needed replaced at 24130 miles. Dealer only agreed to cover rotors after much disagreement. Stated everything else was normal wear and tear. Check engine light been coming on since late 2009, keep taking it in- stated problems with o2 sensors. Problem still not fixed. Dealer states we must need new computer, and that will be covered by warranty. Brakes have been making screeching/rattling noises again, and mileage is now at 29000 miles. Dealer states nothing wrong with brakes, that it must be brake dust. Dealer just does not want to take ownership or pay to cover- there is absolutely an issue that they will not admit. Instrument panel has failed 4 times while driving, including loss of power steering. There is something very wrong with this van.

Filed Nov 7, 2007 · Transmission · 2,974 miles · OH

At 1,200 miles I was going 70mph (cruise control "on") up a hill on rt 40 in tennessee and the transmission went into limp mode 2nd gear. Engine light came on. I drove the shoulder at 30mph and took an exit. Roadside assist towed it to helms dodge. They pulled a "p0750" dtc code (solenoid a fault I think) but the transmission had reset and they couldn't make it go bad in 13 miles of driving. I asked them to check fluid level -- they said they would. They said if it happens again to turn it off for a few minutes and it may reset again. But, I made it home to ohio again without incident. Today, at 2,900 miles, it happened again! My wife had just driven it home from work and parked for 30 minutes (engine off). We went to go out to eat and 1000 feet from home (at 20 MPH) it went into limp. But no engine light this time. I drove back into the driveway and let it sit (off) about 10 minutes. Then I tried it again and it shifted okay. I called the kings' chrysler/dodge dealer service rep (rob) and he said I should have it towed in by roadside assistance. Which I just did... Bill's towing picked it up at 9:15 (11-7-07) to be continued....
