My complained is that we got the recall (l25) from chrysler in june of 2014 but not the second form to get it fixed at a dealer. The van will shut off while traveling luckily my wife was not going to fast. Is chrysler going to wait till someone is injured or killed before they fix it.
The horn blows, wipers start, doors lock, if the engine is running it will not shut off. You have to open the hood and hit the fuse box to make it stop. We have taken it in to be checked and they tell us their is nothing wrong. Apparently this is a problem with this van and chrysler will not do anything about it.
Purchased the vehicle sept. 3, 2013. On countless occasions the key will not come out. You have to cranked the vehicle again, move it up a bit, turn it back off and try again to remove the key. Sometimes the key will not go into the ignition. It's been six months and I can't get any help. Forget the local dealership. No help. It seems to me that someone would want to help. Someone at dodge headquarters. This is really ridiculous. Rest assured that I would never recommend a dodge, especially a van, to anyone. Can I get it fixed at the dealership? Oh sure I can. For $700. I'm at a loss here. Can you help me?

2008 dodge grand caravan. Consumer writes in regards to the wireless ignition module detents recall notice.
While driving down the road at slow speed in the neighborhood, the car randomly shuts off. The power steering, the power brakes and the engine stop working. It is happening now more frequently - twice today and my wife and kids nearly had a head on accident. Luckily the other car was able to swerve to miss our van otherwise there would have been a head-on. I took the car to my dealership several times over the last few months based on a recall notice that was issued for the van. I was told that they do not have the parts to fix it and that they have no idea when the parts will be available. How many people need to be hurt by this issue before they start delivering the parts to fix it?

Intermittent problems that are becoming much more frequent almost daily with car not starting when the key fob is turned. Key fob seems loose and turns easily but nothing happens. I have to turn back to off, pull fob out, place back in, try to restart, usually multiple time and usually by about the 10th time the planets align and it starts as if nothing is wrong. I took it to the dealer, thankfully it would not start for them and then it finally did. They said that the wireless electric ignition node had to be replaced and that this problem was not related to the recall issue with the key fob and putting to much stuff on the key chain.
