Sitting idle at a stop light and my van stalled. While I tried to start it again, it began to accelerate on its own. It will stall while driving and lose all power and the steering/ brakes get hard. It will begin to accelerate on its own while the brake is pushed. I had it diagnosed yesterday and it is a melted wiring fuel rail harness that was placed right above the exhaust manifold. It can melt and catch fire. This is a known problem with this year and model. Please help!

While driving it cut out and stalled. I was on the highway going about 65 MPH. There was minimal fuel pressure.

A metal hose underneath the van rusted through and exploded. This resulted in all the coolant leaking out. This caused the van to immediately overheat and stall while driving. The dealership peformed a diagnostic test and discovered the hose needs to be replaced. *jb

My wife was driving normally less than .2 miles from the house. The speed limit is 40 MPH. The roads were dry. My wife heard and "explosion" and pulled off the road believing that she had a blow out. The car stalled. Not knowing what the problem was, all the tires were inflated, she returned home. By the time she returned to the house there was no transmission fluid in the vehicle. I had it towed to a repair shop (buddies automotive 410‑679‑6300) the repair shop indicated that the pin that dodge uses in the differential is undersized and hollow, and that it had sheared off sending parts through the casing of the transmission. The transmission is being replaced. The replacement is built by a company who has performed studies on the transmission and has modified this section of the transmission to make them safe and reliable. If you have any further questions, please feel free to call me. The vehicle is a 2001 grand caravan ex, with a 3.3l engine and a 4 speed automatic.

1) 1st month-the tailgate latch wouldn't open. 2) 1st year - the driver's side window would periodically freeze and not go up. They said they couldn't fix it until it stayed broken 3) 11/06/03 at 45,000 miles the lights which flash when the remote unlocks the doors, flashed & couldn't be turned off. The headlights would not work when this happened. 4)11/09/03 the headlights turned off while driving on interstate then flashed back on. It happened 4 times. Total darkness @ 70 MPH is frightening

Dodge gc 2001 stalled while in motion with no warning during a very heavily traveled area in a school zone with many potential hazards. Luckily I was only going about 10 mphs and coming to a stop. I interrupted flow of traffic at time of failure and when the tow truck came. A police officer helped direct traffic. Mechanic said leak detection pump went out which caused the PCM (power train control module) to short out. This PCM controls many electrical elements. The engine light is on, the speedometer and passenger window doesnt work and I am told that several systems could fail but it is driveable. I have searched many dealerships in many states with all the same answer. The part I need, the PCM, is on national back order. There are none available in the us. This is the only vehicle I have to transport my children. I contacted dc corp and they will not tell me if it is safe to drive w/ a faulty PCM. It has been 3 weeks and my van is not fixed. I am at their mercy and they have denied responsibility as well as a rental request until my van can be fixed properly. "unfortunately, your request for a rental vehicle has been declined." they claim "we are unable to be of assistance in expediting parts that are not on order" the part has been ordered. Again I questioned the safety of driving the vehicle with a faulty PCM with no answer as of yet. Their are over 250 PCM's on back order.

Speedometer was operating erratically. Sometimes it worked fine, sometimes it raced from 0 to 120 MPH, moving back and forth rapidly,and sometimes it rested on 0 MPH while car was in motion. When stopped at stop sign and / or red light and while vehicle in gear, van sometimes stalled. Van often stalled when moving in reverse. Feared that vehicle would lose power at high speed, resulting in a collision. Dealer worked on van for one full day. Returned van claiming that problem was corrected; replaced output speed sensor. Within five minutes after leaving dealer, speedometer began moving erratically again. Vehicle has been with dealer for over one week. Dealer claimed that speedometer would not act up for them long enough to determine problem. Dealer wanted loner vehicle returned, butowner refused; not until problem was corrected. Vehicle purchased june 2001 and had less than 29000 miles when malfunction was noticed -- early october 2003.
