While driving all electrical systems fail, warning lights flash on and off, power steering and brakes fail, all lights go out. If I do not pull over and turn the car off as soon as it starts, I will stall out in the middle of the road. This has been happening for months and every mechanic I take my car to states everything tests fine.

My husband and I purchased a 2009 dodge grand caravan sxt about 2 weeks ago. We were so thrilled to go from a compact car to a roomy van to accommodate our growing family, (1 month old, 2 year old and 7 year old). It was such a relief, though thats what it felt like... As the days preceded to go on, we were driving the van on a main street, leaving the grocery store and noticed the van stalled out of no were (shut off) mid traffic, almost causing a bad accident, with our entre family aboard... It was frightening! The van was taken in immediately to a local shop, and we were told the oil plug on the oil pan was bad, so we got the entire pan replaced at a whopping 450.00, hoping that'd fix the issue we got the car back drove off the repair shop's lot and literally less than 2 miles in the van stalled out again. Now it's sitting.... I refuse to put our lives and others lives in danger just to get around comfortably. We called dodge customer care on 03/11/20 and was told to take it to a local dodge dealership to ensure the vehicle doesn't need repairs due to any prior recalls it may not have received. We are doing that today... Though we haven't taken the van to dodge... I can't help but lose hope in knowing that this deadly issue will be resolved, due to all the other threads iv'e read not only on this site but other sites as well... Having the same issue... A stalling van in mid traffic....I mean my husband was going 40 MPH the first time the van stalled!!!!!!! There needs to be a recall.... And fast.... ... This puts lives at stake....... Please help!

My van stalls when decelerating from highway speed to off ramp yield. I have taken to mechanics and dealer and spent too much money on not getting the problem fixed. I did some researched and noticed on the forums that this is an existing problem that has not resulting in a vehicle recall . The problem looks like it has to do with the tipm fuel relay. My van only has 142,000 miles on it , this is obviously a safety issue and should be handled by the auto maker, not having customers spend needless money on dealer recommended fixes that do not fix the problem. I just spent over 700 to have dealer recommended repairs of throttle body service and tune up and this did not resolve the issue. Why is it that as a consumer I need to do my own diagnosis when problem happened just this past weekend after dealer recommended solutions did not fix the problem! Now my son is leaving in 3 days for school with the vehicle and I need to find a repair shop to try to fix the problem instead of you as the car company taking responsibility for a known issue.

When I was driving the engine completely stalled and power steering gone. This happened 3 times in different occasions. I managed to steer to the roadside, put vehicle in park and start again. Yesterday after driving for couple hours I stopped at the store and wen I got back the car didn't start no crank, no sound ( all the dash lights on, full battery) call toll truck.... Waiting for toll truck arrive, start looking on line for the problem.... Lots a people have the same problem... I did fallow recommendations and try shifting from p to n couple times and turn key on and off. Then suddenly the car started again... Cancel toll truck... But no solutions, no checking light on... Nothing.. Just waiting for this happening again....
