Tl* the contact owns a 2010 dodge grand caravan. While driving approximately 35 MPH, the vehicle stalled without warning. The contact had to stop and turn the key fob to the off position. The vehicle was restarted and operated normally. The failure recurred twice in the last week. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed by an independent mechanic or a dealer. The approximate failure mileage was 95,000.
Van would not turn off. After many tries, it finally did shut off engine. Then, when I tried to restart it, the warning beep kept beeping and alert system said "bad key". When I contacted dodge in rockwall texas, the technician said it was probably a bad key fob, so I had van towed to shop and was quoted a price of $320 to replace key fob. Upon my return, he said it was not the key, but the wireless ignition system that would have to be replaced. He said my van was not part of the recall, but yet many other vans from that same year model and make were. Now my cost is $530 for wireless ignition system to be replaced, and $180 for new key fob and $52 to have it programmed. Why isn't this van part of the recall if it is exhibiting the same problems as the ones that are being recalled and replaced free of charge?

I first recieved a recall notice in january of 2016 I contacted hunter dodge to get the problem fixed and was placed on a waiting list for the part. I was never notified of the part being in and recieved another notice, I again contacted them and was placed on another list. This has continued for the past 8 months. I received yet another notice on 8/25/2016 called them and I finally recieved an appointment for 8/31/2016 and then was called 1 hour after the appointment was given and asked to re schedule for october. I have had many problems with my ignition over the past few months, the key switches from on to accessory without anyone near it, and I notified hunter dodge of this and they said the soonest I could get in was 9/10/2016. It was been 8 months since my first notice and feel like safety isn't their first concern. It has been a frustrating ordeal

Dodge grand caravan 2010 experiencing the following problems in chronological order: 1) sporadically, while driving vehicle at various speeds on highway and city streets, the low and high beam lights stop working. Dealership said they're unable to diagnose problem if it's not currently happening and to bring it back when it stops working. 2) sporadically after parking and shutting vehicle off to refuel, when attempting to restart vehicle there is no power to the vehicle, no control panel lights, no clicking noise from the ignition or starter, nothing; the vehicle must be jumped before electrical system responds in order to start the vehicle, which then responds immediately. 3) while parked, the left electric powered sliding door does not open using power, must be manually opened and closed; the left passenger electric window will not function most times when button is pushed. 4) while driving vehicle at various speeds, driving straight and turning, the engine shuts off, restarts after placing in park or neutral and turning ignition key to off position and back to start position. 5) rear air conditioner worked sporadically, then worked increasingly less and less, before it finally stopped working altogether. I believe this is all due to a faulty tipm

Air bag indicator illuminated, cruise control did not function. Manual & dealership confirmed cruise would not work if air bag indicator is lit. Vehicle ran hot during slow speeds in hot weather. Dealership first said driver's airbag sensor & tipm were bad, & bad tipm affects all electronic components from airbags, lights, brakes, wipers, horn, windows, temp control, & more. Learned that dodge has had widespread problems with the tipm, and did not want to chance the airbags not working, so we had to replace it even though it was not under recall. We are reporting the problem even though it did not cause a safety incident - we can not wait until *after* a potential safety incident that involved malfunctioning airbags... The vehicle has spent 3 wks + at the dealership, and we don't have the docs verifying the work they have completed yet. We will gladly provide the paperwork after the work is finished.

While driving my car it just shuts off on me at random times. I never know when it is going to happen. It has happened 4 times in 2 week. I found a recall online for this same thing but my dealer is telling me they are VIN number specific and my VIN says there is no recall so they won't fix it. This is due to only chrysler only covered up till june of 2010 model year and our van/VIN was made in july of 2010. Please help me get this fixed before I have an accident and injure myself or my family that is in the van most of the time or someone else. They need to extend the recall for all of 2010 model year, not just part of the year.
