While driving down one of the main streets in traverse city, michigan, I slowed down to make a right hand turn. In the middle of the turn the car stalled and I came within inches of smashing into a car waiting in the left hand turn of the street onto which I turned. I have had the car in the local dodge dealership where they have gone over the car with a fine toothed comb and say the problem is consistent with an issue with the starting mechanism for which dodge put out a recall in 2011. Dodge has not provided the part/parts which are required to solve the problem. This stalling has occurred once since the first time and dodge continues to ignore the request for part/parts to the dealership. The dealership agrees the problem is consistent with the recall description. Since dodge has already admitted that this makes the caravan an unsafe vehicle to drive, but continues to not supply the fix, I am at a loss as what to do. I certainly am not safe driving the vehicle. I live with the fear the stalling will occur at a place or time when serious consequences will occur. I do not want to feel trapped at home, but I do not want to drive an unsafe vehicle, either. I contacted dodge customer service and told them my problem. They would offer nothing but their wish that I stay safe. How can dodge continue to refuse to send repair part/parts? Do I have to be injured, or die or injury or kill someone else before action is taken? This is not right. What steps can I take to ensure my caravan gets repaired before any of these happen? Since the recall was in 2011 and it is now 2015, can I not assume a reasonable time has passed to expect repair? I am a 64 yr. Old widow of a navy vet on a limited income and am at a total loss where to turn for help to stay safe. Please help.

On several occasions the van has shut off when driving. I have to go to the side of the road to a complete stop and then restart the van. I have had it in to several mechanics to try to find out what the issue is and have been told to bring it in when it happens again, which always seems to be when I am on the highway or after hours. I received a recall notice for this issue (l25/the federal safety agency 14v‑373) and have called the dealer several times and was told the part was not available and they would call me as soon as it became available. The last time I called I was told they no longer are making the part of this year vehicle. My question is, that if I have an accident and am injured or killed because this issue has been unresolved who should I let my family know to contact, for damages? I don't feel we should be forced to buy a different vehicle just because the corporation has failed to make sure this vehicle is safe. Please advise.
I have filed 2 complaints regarding recall l25 for dodge/chrysler vehicles. 2009 dodge grand caravan completely shutting down while driving. Steering goes out, brakes out. Complete power out while driving. This is very dangerous and scary. I have children I have to take to multiple places. By the grace of god, the 5 times this happened, we .were on slow moving, non busy roads near home. I have not yet experienced this on the highway. It would be potentially fatal. I usually drive in the lanes on the outside so if it occurs, I may be able. To pull off to the side. I have to take the highway daily to work.there were 5 occurrences, 2 in october 2014 and now recently 3 mores times close together, dec.20, 23 and jan 11, 2015. I have contacted chrysler customer service 3 times. I was advised to remove keys or anything hanging from fob, I have and this does not help the issue or is even the cause. I do not think they know why this problem is occurring. Chrysler really needs to speed up the recall process before there are fatalities.

Some times when I have got in the car and started it up I will try to take down the window and it will not go up or down, the window wipers start going and the lights on the dash board start going off and on and it will start dinging . This also does this while driving. This has happened over the last few years and if I pull over and turn the car off or my son-n-law disconnects the battery and waits a little while to re-set it, the car will start up fine.

As I was driving, my car would just die and everything would shut down and lock up. I thought I had run out of gas. It would start back up. It started doing this alot. I was on highway with a car behind me and a semi truck going 65-70 an hour and my van shut down and everything locked up. Very scary because I barely made it to the side of the road without being hit. Very close to being a serious three car wreck. Took van it and they said it was the key and extension switch piece. Cost me $610.66. I did not have any more problem with it until about 3 months ago and it started doing it again( turning off while I was driving) I took it in again and they said it was the key again. They told me to take key ring off of my key and not have anything on it. Try that and see if that works. If not I would have to replace it again. Tried it and it worked but still shuts down every once in a while. Can not afford to have it replaced again for $610.66. Obviously there is a defect with this key in my dodge caravan since it has been replace and doing it again. I feel that there needs to be a recall with dodge caravans and if so I need to be refunded my money. My aunt sent me an article out of the star business section on recalls and it mentioned dodge caravans being looked into. Well, I am one that has experienced this and am still experiencing this after key and system have been replaced!!

Engine wouldn't start, key kept coming up bad key, tried to get new key and they said it's the win module. I have heard of many other win modules going bad in the same van. Wondering why this hasn't been recalled when the 2010 vans win modules have been replaced.

Several occasions prior to this, radio would not come on,and then suddenly start working, several times in the past 6 months, the car would not start right away. After waiting and several attempts it would then start. Mechanic checked and could not see anything wrong with battery,alternator or starter. Traveled to florida and the engine light came on, all systems working, but light stayed on. Went to a service station,but the light just went out,so we didn't worry. Now, in the parking lot of my sons baseball, all the electrical systems stopped working, the vehicle just shut off, I could not get it to start, it finally started and I drove it to autozone and the systems check showed again battery, alternator and starter are fine. It did start up today after sitting for a day and now the doors and tailgate are not operating. I am frustrated and nervous to drive this van. It is only 4 years old and I have read all the issues and complaints and this is a major safety issue. If the electrical system shuts down while driving, we could get in a fatal accident. I travel a lot with the children and I have great concerns now about the safety of this van. I read about the l25 recall on the win module for the 2010 caravans. I believe this is the defect in my 2009. This is manufacturer issue and should be covered for repair.
