Engine stalls, steering wheel/brakes/gas pedal all lock up and become inoperable while driving/in motion. I could be going 10 MPH or 50mph. Has happened on windy roads near my home as well as high traffic roads near work as well as on/off highway ramps. I've read hundreds of reports of this happening to my year make and model yet my VIN number has not been recalled? I only use my key fob (no others keys or key chains added).

At 35,000 km with in warranty period check engine light came up. Went to dealer, they found cylinder # 5 misfired. Accordingly to dealer this was repaired by certified tech and van was in garage for 1 week. Then this van started stalling engine at 99,000 km approx. The engine stalls and no code is registered at low speeds and turns. Finally one day check engine light came up 0406 code came in while checking. My mechanic cleaned egr valve changed gaskets. It run fine bur still after couple of months the engine stared stalling occasionally. Leaving steering wheel hard to control and no breaks. At 135,00 the engine stopped running. Took to garage 2 cylinders were dead, have to spend $ 4,000 to get a used motor in this to bring it back to road. Changed timing belt, waterpump and extended warranty it did run fine for 6-7 months. It again started stalling at various speeds while driving, I searched, there are over 100 complaints and no solution. Went to mechanic many times but no code is stored but still van engine stall. It stalls even at 60 km/hr speed making it dangerous to operate on road. I can rear end or can get rear ended as it stalled. Most dangerous happened when it stalled while making a left turn and luckily the on coming traffic was bit far away and person was alert to stop safety without hitting. I am afraid if this happens again and a truck is coming straight. Dodge is not taking any responsibility or investigation for this issue. I will like saftey authorities to take action and save lives. It is not safe to keep driving this van but have no choice as there is no solution provided by manufacturer and have not much money in hand to buy another. Engine issue, front break issue are the main issues in this. Most importantly the sudden engine staling at any speed is a dangerous issue to have
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
Just more and more problems with this van. Every person who purchased this van deserve their money back! I am so sick of wasting my money on this van. The braking system is horrible, transmission slips, stalls when it wants, or just doesnt start. And what is going on with the senors?? Like come on you guys know this "family" van is not safe!!!!!! Recall the whole [xxx] van all this has happened over the years of me having this van.

For the pass year been having problems with the traction, bas, brake and esp lights coming on and sometimes losing temporarily power. Sometimes it dies and 90% of time have to reset the clock. If it doesn't die and I pull over and kill it and crank it back and the dash lights go off but most of time have to reset clock. Sometimes driving down highway, and in parking lots and sometimes backing out of my carport..my foot usually on brake but a few times it wasnt.this is the short version on my 2010 dodge grand caravan that has 180,000 miles

For the past couple years my van just turns off when I'm driving. Nobody can figure it out. Then my doors randomly open. This happens anywhere. Interstate or in town. Steering wheel locks up and I have to put in numeral and start. This happens daily.
When driving down the road it will without warning lose power and shut off. It has even had a problem where all the warning lights flash and the windshield wipers start, while the control is off.

The vehicle shuts completely off while driving. No spitting or sputtering, no stalling, no error codes or lights. Just shuts off with no warning. Weather conditions, speed, miles drove matters
The check engine light came on, vehicle started shaking when running. Codes showed it was the crankshaft position sensor and the camshaft sensor. Both were replaced severall times my a mechanic. Dealership had vehicle for 2 weeks could not figure out what was wrong. Replaced the flexplate. It now makes a grinding noise and check engine light is back on. Now it is stalling several times while driving at any speed. It puts my family at risk and now I cannot leave the neighborhood in fear that it will stall while driving. If we get into an accident with the vehicle stalled no airbags will be reployed. Sometimes it had difficulty starting.
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 my van just shuts off I have no steering it just stops. It is currently at a dealership in indiana pennsylvania called tri star. I saw there was a recall for this and they are stating I had it fixed in 2016. It is happening again. Should this not be your responsibility to fix. I have two small children with me. 18 months and 4 months I want peace of mind they will be safe.
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.
February my husband and I financed this car and within less than one month we been experiencing one issue after another. First, the heater hose had a hole in it then after that was the radiator then after we replaced those two now we have a issue with the exhaust modifier as well a issue with the brakes today the tires locked up on us. Could be related to the issues thats been reported on the newer dodge grand caravans.
