Tl* the contact owns a 2010 dodge caravan. While driving approximately 40 MPH, the vehicle stalled without warning. After restarting, the vehicle resumed normal operation. The failure recurred sporadically. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, but the failure was unable to be diagnosed. The failure occurred only after being repaired per the federal safety agency campaign number: 14v373000 (air bags, electrical system). The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it remained for forty-five consecutive days for further investigation. Additionally, the thermostat housing wiring harness was replaced, but the failure persisted. Prior to the recall repair, the engine would shut off if the gear lever was slightly touched. Also the key became difficult to remove from the ignition, but the recall repair corrected this issue. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 55,000.

All the warning lights on the dash light up, the wipers start and can't be stopped, all the windows won't go up or down, the door locks won't work and worst of all the gas gauge, speedometer, and other dash indicators go dead showing no action. This all happens unannounced at any time driving or still. It can happen with just turning the key on to start the car.the most recent time, 2/10/16 the dealer repair said there were a total of 24 different codes saved that did conflict with each other.
2010 dodge caravan. Consumer writes in regards to replacement parts not available to complete recall notice repairs. *smd recall # 14v373000.
Tipm electrical fire while van was parked. Started after pushing the door lock on my key fob. Chrysler sent an independent adjuster out on 2/2/16. Have not heard from chrysler yet. This is the 2nd time my van has had an electrical fire. 1st time was october 2014 - had to replace entire electrical system in the van. I saved the 2 boxes worth of burned harnesses/parts just in case. I paid $6,000 out of pocket last time. Fire department came and disconnected battery and fuse box. No flames or injuries.
I have received a recall notice 3 times. I have contacted the dealer nemours times trying to resolve the issue. They are telling me that parts are not available. Also I have replaced the breaks 4 times the first time was at 17,659 miles. I also had to replace the upper cooling lines. I just noticed that the lower cooling pipe is rusting very bad to the point of failure. We had trouble with the electronics since the purchase of the van. We purchased the van brand new. The doors were locking by there self the heating/cooling controls had to be replaced. I would like to resolve these issues.

I received an "important safety recall" notice for the wireless ignition node module of my dodge caravan in may 2015. It is important for my safety concerns and vehicle reliability. I went to the dealer for the free correction-upgrade and repair in may. They told me the part is not in, be in next week, next week, in a few days......on and on...etc..........made me several appointments and the parts never arrived, thus wasting my time and weekly scheduling. If I call they get annoyed with my call, if I go there they get annoyed for my requested and required by law, free repair. They promise, next week, you are on our list, you will be soon, let me leave a note.....it seems like a scam. Now it is october 21, 2015 and it still has not happened. They were again annoyed with yesterdays visit and gave many excuses and of no help. They keep giving excuses for not performing this safety recall. Something very strange is going on here and they seem to be ignoring their customers safety of which the repair is required by law to be performed......after all.....it is a safety recall! I am considering future lawsuit/or class action lawsuit with many others who are very unhappy with chrysler/b&b dodge. Please take care of this. The dealer is b&b dodge, 125 grandview ave, honesdale, pa 18431. Telephone number: 570-253-12909. The repair is replacement of "the wireless ignition module" (win), replacement of the frequency operated button ignition keys (fobik) and ignition switch, etc. This is all fully described on my fca safety recall..........r03/the federal safety agency/14v‑373. By the way, after all of this aggravation, I am considering my next vehicle not to be a chrysler product. Thank you very much.

September 7, 2015, was entering interstate, car continued to accelerate with accelerator depressed, pressing on brake was minimally functional, managed to get car on offramp and to parking lot, however brakes were extremely hot and brake light was on. Turned off the ignition, and restarted car. Accelerator was still depressed so turned car off. Came back after two hours and car functioned normally. Took car to dodge service repair, showed a code p2299, brake pedal position-accelerator position, and code c0021 brake booster performance. Mechanic cleared codes, stated that handicapped hand controls were engineered improperly and allowed both brakes and accelerator to be used at same time. Service manager stated they had never heard of a wireless throttle body control problem and that I was the first to complain. Later stated that several other hand control units they had worked on functioned improperly. It was extremely evident they were covering a stuck throttle body problem that has been seen by a number of non-dodge authorized mechanics.

The ignition switch was finally replaced as a result of a recall. Shortly after the replacement we began experiencing a situation in which the van would not start. All we could get was a "clunk" sound from the front of the vehicle. It has a battery that is less than a year old and usually starts fine. The situation exists when we try to use either keys. So far, we have been lucky in that it starts fine after after 8 or more tries; the engine will start and for several days to a couple of weeks things are fine and then the same thing happens again. All electrical systems seem to be operating properly except for the tire pressure light. It, too, has started acting up with about the same frequency. The dodge service department feels it may be the battery in the pressure sensor valve. Funny that they both started about a month or two after the ignition switch was replaced.

There is a known recall now for 2008-2010 dodge caravans for the ignition switch or win module malfunctioning. My van started with not turning completely off when the key was in off mode and removed from the ignition. The radio would still be on and lights on the dash with the key completely out of ignition. I had to remove the battery cable to get the van to turn off completely. This worked for a couple days but now it will not start or run at all. The error on the dash display says "bad key" and I am unable to start or use my van at all. When asked about recall they say my van doesn't fall into the months they issued the recall for in 2010? I am going to have to get this fixed because I cannot use the van otherwise and to replace the win module it is going to cost me around $600 (which I do not have!). I just purchased the van on memorial day weekend 05/2015 so I have only had this vehicle roughly 3 months and it is already broken down. Not a happy customer!
