2009 Dodge Grand Caravan fuel system complaints

Vehicle while both driving on road and in park stalls. It givens no notice or warning that this is going to happen. At least 10 times I have noticed that the ignition switch has "moved" from the "run" position to "accessory," by itself. I have taken it to 3 different dealers but each has said they couldn't find an issue no codes have been coming up in the computer. I even had it stall in the dealer when I picked it up yet they have not done anything to fix the problem. When it stalls the steering wheel is extremely hard to move. I have 3 small children in the car when it stalls on main roads it is very frightening and dangerous trying to control the car, put it into neutral or park and get it to start or try to get to a safe place to restart it! I have contacted chrysler-dodge customer service, service managers etc all to no avail. I asked the dealer service managers if there was any recall and they told me there wasn't any....I see on the federal safety agency website there is one but it is for 2010 and up but the 2009 vehicles also have the same stall problem! Report receipt date: mar 01, 2011 the federal safety agency campaign number: 11v139000 component(s): electrical system

I recently experienced an uncontrolled acceleration of my 2009 dodge grand caravan. I passed a truck that was traveling at about 35 MPH. When I attempted to resume an appropriate speed by releasing the accelerator I realized that the vehicle was continuing to accelerate. I applied the brake to little effect and eventually regained control of the vehicle by shutting the ignition off. When I brought the vehicle to a dodge dealer I was told that this was common and all it required was routine maintance. Dodge did not see this as a safety issue and charged me for the service despite the fact that the vehicle was still under warranty.
