My van,2002 dodge grand caravan, randomly stalls while driving down the street/road whether on straight road or a curve, or with a full tank of gas or less,gas seems to be irrelevant . After stalling will not restart. I have replaced all mini-fuses,battery, starter,and still will stall. Sometimes while driving above 25 MPH while still moving it will restart on its own. This is a huge safety issue.

Engine stalls while driving by model year
What owners say
Dt*: the contact stated while driving at highway speed the manual transmission jerked the vehicle as if it were stalling. Afterwards, the check engine light illuminated. The contact pulled over, but the vehicle would not drive any further. It was towed to a dealer. The dealer inspected the vehicle and determined that the manual transmission failed, although regularly serviced, due to an unknown internal problem, not improper maintenance. The manual transmission was replaced. *nm updated 2/28/2006 -
I own a 2002 dodge grand caravan. The car stalls while driving. If it starts again, it stalls within 1/4 mile. You can do this only for 3 times before it finally can not be started. Brought the car to the dealership to investigate. First time they replaced the computer program module. The car worked for 100 miles, then died again while I was driving. The dealership started the car and ran a diagnostic but failed to locate any faulty codes. I asked them to take it for a test ride and see what happens. They did, and it died on them. They ran a diagnostic test and said the crankshaft sensor failed. They replaced the crankshaft sensor. Again, less than 100 miles later, the car died. The dodge dealer seems to be at a loss as to why it is failing and not starting. I have owned the car for 3 years and have never had a problem with it. This seems to have them stymied. I am reporting this because there are not indications prior to failure. You lose all power to the car.
Air bag clockspring has been replaced 6 times. *mr there was a leak inside the vehicle on the passenger's side, a broken chain on the driver's slider door, a hesitation upon acceleration and a stalling problem (possible fuel filter problem), and a grinding noise due to the idler pulley being faulty. The consumer request compensation. *sc
While driving at 5-10 MPH vehicle stalled and then completely locked up coming off of a ramp. Upon starting again it started to jerk. Took vehicle to the dealer. The problem still exists.
When accelerating from a full stop the car will either sputter and almost stall or it will in fact stall. This has happened as close as the end of our block to 15 minutes into a trip. It has usually occured in the first drive of the day, but lately it has been happenening at any point of the day.
