Filed Mar 30, 2017 · Electrical, Engine · 149,000 miles · NC

My dodge caravan just stalls while driving. It has happened about 5 times this past year. The engine cuts off and I have to pull over and restart. It has only happened while driving between 20-40 miles per hour. It has not happened on the highway I had the ignition switch replaced so I know it is not that. Sometimes when my car will not start I have to put it in neutral and it starts. Our mechanic cannot find anything wrong but did see the engine failure while running a diagnostic.

I have put in 3 complaints since october and have sent a complaint to chrysler. My van has shut down completely 15 times since october. The issues with this van actually started in the summer of 2012, when we were stranded because the vehicle would not start. I had everything checked out, battery replaced. No one could find anything wrong, yet at times, it would not start right away. Now the van just turns off while driving. This is a major safety issue for me and my family, yet chrysler out me to a higher priority and still has not called me in to fix the defect. While this van has other issues as well, this is the most important thing that needs to be addressed by chrysler. Can anyone help me get this taking care of? I suggested they give me a rental until this is resolved. That was not even considered. I asked if it was then ok with their organization if an entire family is injured or even killed in an accident because of this defect. Only, one response stating we were priority, but never called yet.

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.
