Horns blaring , wipers going, washer fluid squirting rear wiper moving and washer fluid spraying. Car just came back after four weeks at dealer that could not find problem, with chryslers star assistance the customer assistance replaced the ignition module and two key fobs. Did not fix original problem. I have logged over forty hours of phone conversation talking to chryslers customer case managers and supervisors as well as dealer service advisor ,service manager and mechanics. There has been a complete disconnect between normal human caring and the robot like customer service. I am not sure how people can sleep at night after telling families to keep driving these unsafe vehicles that stall while driving. Lawyers after punitive damages only don't take cases for vehicles that were produced before chrysler s bankruptcy. I don't blame them. Tipm modules seem to be recalled for vehicles after bankruptcy. I wonder if people remember 1994 dodge caravan rear latches. Same old chrysler profits before human lives.

Keys don't work , I don't want to buy new ones until you fix the l5/the federal safety agency 14v‑373 recall. Plus I am afraid to drive it around now that I have my grandson in the car every day. What should I do now. One key works on an off so I am getting around but the whole airbag thing on the recall freaks me out a little. Do you help in rental cost for a temp replacement.

On december 11, 2014 I walked to the parking lot to find my van acting totally crazy (the poltergeist). The horn was honking, windshield wipers were going full speed, windshield washer fluid was spraying everywhere and the internal and external lights were flashing. I attempted to use my key fab to unlock the doors but it did not work. I manually entered the van in hopes that starting the van would stop the poltergeist. The van would not start. After about 20 minutes, all that remained was a soft horn constantly honking and the lights sporadically flashing. I hit the unlock button on the key fab the horn honked loudly. I hit the lock button on the key fab the washer fluid sprayed. I called a tow truck and they jump started the van. I drove it home with no additional problems. I had the battery replaced the next day assuming that they may be the issue. This occurred again as I was driving home, at night, I parked the van, turned off the van and pulled the key fab out of the ignition. The van remained running. Two days later, as I was driving, the ABS light, emergency brake light, traction light and one other indicator light appeared on my dashboard (the light indicators). Then, my ABS brakes slightly engaged without my foot on the brake pedal. These problems have continued to sporadically appear. No dealership can fix.
While driving the van at 65 MPH while on rt.23 on my way to findlay, ohio, the windshield wipers cycled a couple times, the gauges went to zero, the radio turned off and the warning alarm went off a couple times. This occured twice while I was driving to findlay and twice on my way back home. Each time, the van continued to run. At the time both hands were on the steering wheel. I know the date because I was headed to my son's soccer game at the university of findlay. It was a very un-nerving experience. On other dates the wipers have run by themselves and even sprayed windshield cleaner for a brief period. I have noticed that other people have reported the same behavior on their vans. I wanted to make sure my experience was noted. It appears the situation can become much worse.

When the vehicle is turned off, the key gets stuck in the ignition. This happens at least once a day, and sometimes it happens every time the vehicle is turned off. The key will not turn all the way to the "off" position and has to be moved around and tried several times before it will turn and come out.

On multiple occasions beginning on december 12, 2014 my 08 dodge grand caravan sxt would have random electrical malfunctions including synced, intermittent activation of horns, front wipers, rear wipers, front washer fluid spray, rear washer fluid spray, and door locks. These issues would generally come together in "episodes" that could last from about a minute to about 10 minutes. These episodes could occur in rapid succession, separated by only a few seconds, or they might have 5-10 minutes or sometimes days between happenings. This would cause sudden loss of visibility while driving, as the sprayers would cover the windshield with drops but the wipers would not complete a pass to remove the fluid. It was particularly dangerous at night, since the drops would refract light and make visibility almost zero. This also resulted in being locked out of the vehicle on multiple occasions, the remote "clicker" could not be used to unlock or open doors or lift-gate. The only way to enter the vehicle was to use the physical key and force the lock to turn against the pressure of the powered door lock motor repeatedly re-locking the doors other intermittent problems. Why doesn't dodge recall and fix this problem?

We went out to car to get in it, and all doors were locked and would not unlock. Horn started blaring. Windshield wipers went crazy with windshield wiper fluid spraying. Headlights were blinking on and off. Finally able to get in car, things finally calmed down after about 10 - 15 minutes. Next day, we took it to dealership. They tested it, and they said they did not find anything wrong with it. Similar episodes happened after that one which included taking the key out of the ignition, and the car was still running. We took it to a different dealership to have it checked, and they said they could not find anything wrong with it.
