I currently am buying a 2009 dodge grand caravan is part of the recall for faulty ignition module. This has cause the vehicle to sporadically not start, even after a complete day of driving. This issue started shortly after I purchased the van almost 2 yeas ago. I was told my key needed reprogrammed, paid to have it done and this has obviously not fixed the issue , as it continues to progressively worsen. The vehicle is now shutting off while driving and will not restart. I have spoke with the dealership and called chrysler and they both say that I have to pay to have it even diagnosed because they do not think that the recall is the issue. I was also told that even if it is the recalled part there is no fix available for the 2009 as of yet. I fear the vehicle will not be functional much longer as the problem seems to occur on now a daily basis. The dealer insists it is something else any other time I have had the problem and just tries to just sell me another part that will not fix it. So what are other options other than paying for a car that is non functional or giving the car back loosing anything I have paid on it and being without a vehicle?

Received a safety recall notice l25/the federal safety agency 14v‑373 stating that the fobik may not seat fully in the 'on' position and inadvertently move to the 'accessory' mode causing unintentional engine shut off. As of this time, I have not been notified of any fix other than to remove the key off the key-ring every time I wish to drive, and apparently they have no fix in sight. Is there anything that can be done to expedite this repair. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Filed complaint about 3 weeks ago. Called chrysler recall center and explained the vehicle problem. Chrysler representative confirmed there is a recall on my vehicle, but the parts are not available. They stated they would document the urgency of my repair as the vehicle has failed 2 times in 3 weeks. I expressed my concern over the safety of driving the vehicle, especially with children. I was told the vehicle is safe to drive, but make sure I remove all object from my key ring. I really do not think this was the problem. The second time it had a power failure, the vehicle was almost stopped, ready to make a left hand turn, the road was smooth. How can the parts not be available when it was just released on the news that chrysler ordered the parts even before the recall was announced. Also, 32 deaths possibly related to this defect. How can this not be of an urgent matter to have them replaced. I am nervous driving, which I have too in order to get to work, school, shopping. This whole situation is unbelievable to me. I have always bought american made cars, and this is the customer service I receive. I hope chrysler is ready for more lawsuits. Its a shame people have to get hurt or even die for action to be taken.

I received a safety recall on my caravan, in june 2014, it says this was a safety recall, as of this morning tuesday 11 am november 11, 2014. I have heard nothing from chryaler, and nothing from the dealer. I called the dealer, the service department has no idea when they will receive "any parts" for this recall, I said this was unsatisfactory since it has been almost 5 months, the service department transferred me to the parts department, and the parts department said they have not recieved "any" parts for this recall, and had no idea when they would!. The recall notice stated if I had concerns which the dealer was unable to resolve, I should call their chrysler group recall assistance center at 800‑853‑1403. I also called this number and was told they "also have no idea when parts will be available for this recall". I told them this was completely unsatisfactory, since I drive with children much of the week, and since the recall is almost 5 months old I want action. They took my mailing and email address, and said they will email me when parts are available. This also is absolutely unsatisfactory for a "safety recall" this is a "safety" issue????? Evidently chrysler and possibly the federal safety agency??? Do not think it is, please advise.

Am having the exact same issue as the k14 recall. But am being told that is only for power doors. Last year I changed a new the sliding door wiring harness but still am having the same issue,by opening and closing the door it broke the censor clip and then broke the plastic cover on top of wire know the wire is being damaged my front windows are not working the air bag sensor not working. And that exactly because of the hinge which is breaking the plastic cover while ur sliding the doors.

When the vehicle is cold, and after I start driving, if I do no have my foot on the accelerator, the engine will just die. When it does, there are no warning lights go on and the steering becomes completely unresponsive. I must quickly put the car in neutral and start it again. It can happen multiple times before the engine warms up. It can just happen going down the road. I have had it to the dealer and another auto repair place and neither can figure out what is wrong. This happens quit often.
My van turns off while driving it numerous times since this date. It also wont start at times and I am stranded anywhere from five to 30 minutes.power steering gets stuck sometimes and when braking at high speeds the whole car shakes.
While driving on the fwy my van turned off. It was after driving over a part of the freeway that seemed to have a dip. My gauges went to "0" & I felt a loss of power. I turned the key fob in the ignition & it seemed to start back up. The gauges went to the max and all warning lights flashed red as my car does when I initially start it. On 8/11/14 I was exiting a driveway, the same thing happened crossing a 2 lane road. I didn't turn the key fob this time as my van turned off & then back on by itself. I dropped my van off to have it checked out, but they didn't find a recall on anything with the ignition or engine turning off. I looked up the info & found recall code l25 describing exactly what was happening. I spoke to a rep named crystal at the recall phone number given & she confirmed my vehicle will be included in the recall & notices will be going out as they just updated the notice this morning. Since the recall was just updated, I have to pay for the inspection on the wireless ignition node, keep all work orders & receipts, wait for the recall notice & get reimbursed because this is dangerous. I have to borrow the $ as I cannot run the risk of driving my 3 kids around & have an accident. I am also having a problem with my engine running hard, sounding like marbles are rattling against metal as I accelerate & it making a glug glug sound & running hard. I just paid $412 to replace my calipers & brake pads as they were not releasing & caused the brake pads to crumble (replaced 2 weeks prior) & as I was braking it sounded like metal scraping against metal. This was due to the friction and heat from the calipers not releasing. Luckily my rotors weren't warped (also brand new & placed 2 weeks prior). My vehicle has 57,576 miles & I keep up the maintenance on it as well.. This is very concerning. Never had issues like this on a vehicle with less than 100,000 miles.

Last year wife was driving vehicle on highway during vacation. Power was lost and vehicle would not steer or break. Vehicle was difficult to restart as ignition turned over then shut off again. Very fortunate there was no accident. This has since recurred twice, once while coming to a stop at a red light, and another while existing a parking garage. Also, vehicle constantly needs to be started twice, does not always stay powered up after initial ignition. Did not think of filing a the federal safety agency complaint at the time, but with the acknowledgement of ignition problems from chrysler, wanted to make sure I got this logged.
Vehicle shut off while in motion; including locked steering wheel with full system shut off.
Tl* the contact owns a 2009 dodge grand caravan. While driving 20 MPH, there was a sudden loss of engine power and the electronic throttle control warning indicator illuminated.

The manufacturer stated that the VIN was not included in the federal safety agency campaign number: 14v373000 (electrical system). The failure mileage was 50,000. Updated 09/02/14
The problem is that the ignition accidentally switched from the "run" position to "accessory" causing the engine to shut off. This happened while in a parking lot. Since then it has happened multiple times--once as I was backing out of my driveway and once while pulling into traffic on a busy street. This could have caused a serious accident, but fortunately this time it didn't--as there were no cars coming. Vehicles built a few months after mine have had a recall for this error. I believe that the recall should be expanded.
