When I am driving the car straight down the road, the car engine cuts off and the steering goes rigid and difficult to steer a I glide and pull the car to the side of the road. This has happened probably 30 times over the past 3 years. Twice (when the car was only a year or so old) the shifting has just slid out of place into another gear by itself. This is so so so dangerous. I have taken my car in to a mechanic several times. They have "fixed"issues trying to fix the problem, but I spend money on"fixes" that do not resolve this terribly frightening problem.

Van stalls while driving, the engine completely cuts out without warning. This has happened several times since january 2020. This happens randomly while driving, while stopped at a light and at idle when in park. This is extremely dangerous because there is no warning, making it impossible to get out of harms way. Sometimes the van would start back up and other times it required a jump start. I have changed my battery and starter, and do not have any other keys on my key fob. There is a recall for the tipm ( totally integrated power module) and the ignition switch. I have called the dodge dealership as well as checked several websites to see if my vehicle was recalled. It is not based on manufacture date and VIN. I am afraid for myself, my family and other innocent drivers. This is a very serious issue that will cause a very serious accident or fatality. I cannot sell or trade in this vehicle knowing that it is unsafe to drive.
The van cut off on me while driving on a city street. . There was no warning ahead of time. At first I was told that it was an electrical issue but even after fixing that the van don't want to start back up. And now the second shop is saying that the engine is gone but I don't think that that's the issue because I had a diagnostic test 3 weeks before and it said nothing about a bad engine

Everything to do with the braking system needs to be recalled including the sensors. 2018,2019,2020 I had to replace brakes, calipers, rotors, and hub assembly multiple times. This is not normal to keep replaces these parts. Many people experienced this problem and I sure many others will. There needs to be a recall on this.

My husband was driving our 2010 dodge grand caravan down a residential street when suddenly in traffic the vehicle ignition shut off. Because the vehicle was going 30mph it didn't just stop and he could no longer control it. The van hit the back of another vehicle at full speed causing the air bags to deploy in the van. No one thankfully was hurt but our vehicle has been declared a total loss. We have contacted mopar since the accident occurred on 3/18/2020 and have received the runaround. Because the ignition just cut off we contacted a dodge dealership to have the VIN number checked and were informed of the open recall that can cause exactly what occurred with our vehicle. We were directed by the dealership to contact mopar. We just purchased this vehicle at an auction in january 2020 we were never notified about a recall on the vehicle. The vehicle recall number is r03.
Driving on highway at 70mph. The car turned off and the "traction control" idiot light turned on. I managed to struggle to get it over to the side of the highway (I-294 in chicago is not easy!) and put the car in park. With the car in park, I was able to restart the car and continue on our trip. This is the 3rd time this has happened since november 2019.

Two things happening occasionally...1st is that sometimes I attempt to start the van and when I turn the key nothing happens as if I didn't even try to turn the key. One time just before this happened I could not use the key fab to unlock the door to the van, almost like the battery to the van or fab was dead, however both were new or fine. After pulling fab out of ignition and trying a second time van has always started without incident. 2nd issue is that on a few spread out occasions the van will quit shifting gears while excellerating causing the RPM's to rev dangerously. So far after getting to a safe place and turning the van off and restarting has cleared the issue...however is unclear what is causing and is very dangerous when you are on the highway before you realize whats happening.

The key fob locks the car if lightly bumped. The danger is leaving the keys in the car and closing a door which triggers the lock. This could lock one out in freezing weather or lock a child in the van when parked and closing the drivers door then trying to open the rear door to get a child out. I spoke to my office employee and similar problems with dodge key fobs happen to her and a friend.

Engine shut off on 2 occasions while driving 40 MPH on city road. Luckily no traffic so no crash. Power steering and power brakes went out as well. Dealer said no open recalls. This sounds like wins recall that impacted some 2010 caravans
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 dodge grand caravan. The contact stated that the key was loose when it was in the ignition. If the vehicle drove over a bump in the road, the key would dislodge and the engine would stall or shut off while driving. Orange chrysler dodge jeep ram (95 new athol rd, orange, ma 01364, (976) 709-1254) suggested that the transmission sensor be repaired.

I have a 2010 dodge grand caravan with the 4.0 liter motor, 6 speed automatic transmission. My van just passed 119,000 miles and it just started to shut off while driving at speeds between 30-40 MPH, on city streets. This is a major concern as I transport my children around. I have not been in an accident and I hope not to anytime soon. I've been reading forums online and many chrysler owners are saying it could be anything from the egr valve, to the ignition switch and even bad battery. My check engine light is not on so no codes to decode. Please fix this major problem before people get hurt driving these vehicles
While driving the 2010 dodge grand caravan it will just shut down. While trying to figure out the problem I found 2 recalls for electrical issues both having to do with the vehicle shutting down while driving. When I entered my VIN it showed one that needed the ignition and fobs replaced. We took it to our local dealer tri-star of indiana and they say the recall was completed in june of 2016. I can't find any paperwork on this and it still shows up. Even if it was done, it's obvious it needs done again because their replacement parts are defective just like the ones they replaced. I already informed them if anything happens to my family or me while driving this, they will be the first names on the law suit the dodge for not fixing the issue correctly the first time. This happens in town, on country roads, sitting at stop lights. The last time it happened my daughter was taking her kids to the doctor on tuesday 12/3/2019.
