2010 Dodge Grand Caravan: multiple warning lights

Filed Feb 11, 2023 · Electrical · MD

While driving power would shut off, everything shuts down for 2 seconds, and then goes back on. Does this sometimes 10 times within 15 minutes of driving. Then twice already after buying new battery (I thought it needed one because it would not even crank, had all lights, etc. But wouldn't start) it would not start till after 8 attempts, would start right up and drive with no issues. I searched online with people having same exact issues. I called Dodge and they said my van did not have a recall. I don't understand why if my van is having same issues.

Engine has shut off while driving, van 2010 dodge purchased used from dealership @ 98,000 miles less then a yr ago. While driving dinging noise can be heard all gages go crazy and all lights come on from dashboard. This has occurred many times, my biggest fear is causing an accident while my children are with me. Van was taken in for service at local dealership, after a week I was told that there was no issue with the van. The frustrating part is this problem is not constant, and I can go weeks without any problems. Two days after pick from dealership problems started up again. Maybe a second trip to the dealership will give me some answers. I shouldn't be afraid to drive my van, but every time I get behind the wheel that is what if feel. This single mom can't afford to replace the van

My 2010 dodge grand caravan began having issues about 6 months ago. The ABS light would light up and beep on and off and was taken to the dealership and they stated they could not determine the problem without it occuring at that time. As months went on the problem became worse. All the dashboard lights began turning on and off headlights would dimmer, clock and radio would shut off. Took to a few mechanics and none could determine the problem. The problem got worse battery light began staying lit. We then replaced the battery and the battery cables. The problems persisted, we took to another mechanic who stated the alternator needed to be replaced. We replaced the alternator and the vehicle was fine for three weeks, then the problem started again all the lights lit up, the air went in and out, the radio shut off and out of nowhere the car shut off while about to turn at an intersection with my children in the van. We have taken the vehicle to many different mechanics even the dealership and none of them can determine what is causing this issue. Through the internet I see that we are not alone with this problem. I don't know what to do besides attempt to get rid of the vehicle. This is the vehicle I bought to transport my children; I've been paying for rental cars because I'm scared to drive it. With as many complaints as I've seen for this issue you would think there should be a recall. Someone is going to be seriously hurt or dead if they don't do something about this.

My van just shut off while doing 55 MPH on a highway. No warning signs or check engine lights came on. I had no steering, gas, or breaks when it shut off. The a few days later all the lights on the dash came on then went off but never shut off until a few blocks later when it turned off while driving on a street. And everytime it shuts off I put it in park take the keys out and then restart the van and it acts like nothing ever happened.

I have had my 2010 dodge grand caravan for 1 year. First the alternator went out then the key module then the transmission then the shifting harnesses cable and now the lights keep blinking on and off and the van feels like it has no power the battery was just changed a month ago. This has been the worst vehicle ever and we are scared that it is going to cause a deadly accident. The vehicle gets stuck in gears. And and now keeps shutting off and the headlights keep blinking on and off as well as all the lights in the van. If these are know issues why has there not been a total recall on all these vehicles before a deadly accident does happen. Or is it going to take someone to actually die before something is done about all the known issues the makers of these vehicles are aware of.

I was pulling up to an intersection, about to make a left turn when the vehicle shut off and I wasn't able to steer the vehicle. I put it in park, turned the vehicle off and then restarted it and it was fine. It never did that again, then a little over a month later while I was driving it out of state all the warning lights kept coming on and off. When I took it to the dealership they replaced the ignitions switch which was a recalled part that we were waiting to come in. They said they didn't see any of the issues I was experiencing when they test drove the van. As I was leaving the dealership all the warning lights started flashing and the windshield wipers wouldn't work. I returned the van to the dealership and now they stated the problem is the tipm.
