2010 Dodge Caravan: engine stalls while driving

Filed Jul 27, 2019 · Engine · 125,175 miles · NY

My stx grand caravan stalls while driving down the road without any warning. No trouble lights come on except the traction light. The light goes off as soon as you restart the van. Usually happens when I let off the gas pedal to slow down. No one knows how to fix it !! Has happened in the city but mostly while driving on the highway when I let off the gas.

Vehicle shuts off while in motion usually within first 10 minutes of driving. We thought it was doing it because we did not warm up the engine enough in winter but now it happens is warmer weather as well. The engine just shuts off usually within .25-2 miles from the start of the trip. There is no engine check light, and no error in log. The car has already undergone the ignition key recall repair and a 3 day diagnostic at a local dodge dealer in schaumburg il, without them finding anything wrong. This is very dangerous as the driver looses power steering, 2 times we almost got into an accident because the car stalled mid turn. It will stall while driving straight or turning. Usually of we let the car sit and warming up for 15-20 minutes the problem will not show up, but if we start the car and put it in drive within 1 minute it will most likely stall during the drive. While the car is still rolling straight the we can put the car in neutral and restart the vehicle and continue driving but usually we have to make a full stop in the middle of the traffic lane because the wheel is too hard to turn to pull over. There is many instances of other dodge grand caravans doing this.

Our VIN shows no recalls however we are having the same issues as known the federal safety agency campaign #11v139000 "chrysler is recalling certain model year 2010 dodge journey, grand caravan, and chrysler town & country vehicles manufacturer from august 3, 2009, through june 17, 2010. Some vehicles may experience inadvertent ignition key displacement from the run to accessory position while driving causing the engine to shut off" & the federal safety agency campaign #14v055000 - "over time and with use, the vehicle's rear axle may develop cracks which could lead to axle failure. Consequence: failure of the rear axle may increase the risk of a crash." both are for a 2010 dodge caravan, just not our VIN. Our rear end cracked yesterday and luckily we had just got off the freeway and was slowly driving through a parking lot when it snapped!!! Our van constantly shuts off while driving!!!! I believe our van VIN needs included in this recall!!!

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.

My 2010 dodge grand caravan stalls 5 to 10 times per week. It stalls at any speed and at any time (warm or cold). Since the dodge dealership could not find the issue (hats off to their ineptitude), after further research, I learned the issue is due to failure of the totally integrated power module (tipm) and affects other dodge/chrysler products . See the federal safety agency action number: dp14004. However, the federal safety agency stance on this is 'except insofar as the petitioner's contentions relate to the defect condition addressed by the chrysler recalls, the factual bases of the petitioner's contentions that any further investigation is necessary are unsupported. In our view, additional investigation is unlikely to result in a finding that a defect related to motor vehicle safety exists or a the federal safety agency order for the notification and remedy of a safety-related defect as alleged by the petitioner at the conclusion of the requested investigation. Therefore, in view of the need to allocate and prioritize the federal safety agency's limited resources to best accomplish the agency's safety mission, the petition is denied'. This will only be resolved when someone dies or the federal safety agency takes our 'contentions' seriously.
