A few weeks ago I had a problem with my ignition, and started to look information abount it. I found a recall for my vehicle (r3 / the federal safety agency 14v‑373) where the remedy is: the win module and fobiks must be replaced. I called to palmer dodge (770) 410-1111 (address: 11460 alpharetta hwy, roswell, ga 30076 - worker: luis) and made a appointment to fev-19 (today), and they told me that it will be replaced, but today they told me that they just will update the win module and it will be fine. The report say: the win module and fobiks must be replaced, so I don't fell good because they didn't fix the problem. I tried to contact recalls.mopar.com by chat, and they could not help me. I ask the palmer worker and he just say that update is enough, but the report says must be replaced.
Mileage: 100,000 the engine will cut out while driving. Dash lights will flash, warning chime will beep, and the vehicle will rev and lurch forward before dying. This leaves the car at a coast. When the vehicle is brought to a stop, it restarts without a problem. Has happened in cold and warm weather alike.. Has happened while coasting, braking, and accelerating. Most stalls have been while driving straight in the city. No highways stalls to date . Cause: unkown; we have not been able to reproduce the event reliably, though it now occurs with some frequency (e.g. Driving more than 20 min). I suspect the power control module (PCM) or the ignition switch somehow moving between on and accessory modes. Available data: issues similar to this one can be found on forums, it does not seem that many have been able to resolve the problem, despite replace the computer and alternator.
The van started randomly shutting down/turning off/stalling (however you want to term it) while in drive and in motion. Happens at any speed, any road conditions, all gas levels, and any temperature.

Van stalls while driving- no steering, etc
My vehicle has stopped running while driving 3 days in a row which has caused close collisions. I have lost my trust in my "family safe van". I loose control of my power steering and have to pull over to the side of the road and put my vehicle in park/neutral and then restart it. I've read numerous online posts about this problem and I believe some of these models have already been recalled because of the ignition switch failing. I'm unhappy that the manufacturer hasn't done what they are supposed to do and contacted the consumer and reported this issue to them properly. This will cause accidents and isn't safe. I've read multiple posts online where the dealership/dodge has informed multiple people that nothing is wrong with their vehicle because they can't replicate it. What ever happened that the customer is always right? Please help me make sure dodge takes care of this safety recall before it causes injury/death to multiple family's that this issue could happen to them when they least expect it because it is supposed to be a family safe vehicle. Sincerely, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *cc

My dodge grand caravan, 2010, has started cutting off on me while driving. My stabilizer light comes on, rpms drop to 0, and I lose my power steering along with low break reaction. I feel this is very unsafe. I have changed several sensors to no avail. I started doing research and found that they have safety recall l25. Called my local dodge dealership to set up the repair, only to find out my van was not included in the recall, even though it is in the alotted years (2008-2010). What am I supposed to do. This could easily cause a wreck

Beginning september 2017 to december 2017 (present): multiple issues related to electrical: (1) engine stalled while driving at 30 MPH (city street, driving straight), and lost power steering and brakes; (2) electrical system warning light has been coming on from september 2017 to december 2017 (present). Light often comes on when power window buttons are pressed; battery has been checked; alternator has been replaced twice (!) in december 2017 and warning light still comes on; (3) windows roll themselves down when vehicle is not running; this happened multiple times in winter and cold weather, there is no chance the window was left down by the driver; (4) head and tail lights blink when vehicle is not running; (5) rear seat power outlet not working; (6) rear defroster not working; (7) side mirror defrosters not working. Research into others with similar problems suggest defective tipm.
Car stalls out of nowhere and I lose power steering and brakes. The traction control light comes on after it's stalled. I have nearly gotten into an accident twice but it has stalled more than that. It was in motion from speeds of 25-40 MPH on city streets. Twice on a turn and 6 times going straight.
The vehicle has shut down while driving about 15 times over the last 2 years. While driving, usually at slower speeds but once on the freeway and a few times at about 45 MPH, the ABS light comes on and then everything shuts off -- engine, power steering, brakes -- everything. It is a miracle it hasn't killed us yet. We have taken it to the dealer several times and they can not replicate it or find any code that is the problem. It is not the ignition recall as we have had that fixed. During my research I have found that this is a problem with this vehicle.
We have a 2010 dodge grand caravan sxt with 133,000 miles and since the day we got it back in july all it has done while driving is shut down/shut itself off. Lights on dashboard will come on, flash and van will just shut down. Key refuses to come out at times, have no hazard lights when this happens, and it can take anywhere from 5-30 minutes for the van to even start again. This happens on the interstate and in the city, doesnt matter really where we are, even at stop lights/stop signs

2010 dodge grand caravan 108000 miles. At time of this complaint, we have owned vehicle for only two months. For no apparent reason and no warning; engine will stall. This has happened both at a stop sign and rounding a curve at 30 MPH. No engine - no power steering. Hoping this doesn't happen on the highway. Engine also has a 'surge' to it at around 40 MPH; not sure if the two are related.
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.

Sudden loss of engine, power steering and brakes while vehicle is in motion. Happens at low and high speeds, driving straight and when turning. All electrical components remain operational. Dealer unable to duplicate.
While operating vehicle the engine quits running and the vehicle becomes hard to handle as power steering and brakes become stiff. The only code that comes up is an ABS failure. Started about 6 months ago with an occasional happening now it has happened up to 3 times per day. Seems to happen at slower speeds when vehicle is in motion. City driving so far but concerned about safety of this continuing. Dealer seems to have no clue at this point or are just playing dumb because there are a lot of forums with people discussing this issue.
Driving at 10-20 MPH, warning lights esp abr and tracing icon flash on and off before engine stalls, happens whether turning, or driving straight. Electrical system fails including power steering, radio flashes off, clock goes to 12:00. Often at speeds 35 -65 MPH, same lights flash on and off 10 to 15 times in various distances of 3 miles - 25 miles before stalling, driving down a winding, mountain road in heavy traffic at night at speeds between 60-70mph, same lights flashed on and off, the speedometer needle instantly dropped down to zero then quickly flipped up to current speed each time lights flashed, then they stayed on while I pulled off the road, it stalled in park position. Starts up again without hesitation. Once I went 3 miles without incident, upon returning while at a stop light, same warning lights flashed, when the light turned green, engine stalled. I restarted the engine and I was able to proceed through the green light making a left turn, no other stall the rest of the way home. Regardless if I'm turning left or right, going up hill or down hill or on city street, whether the engine is cold or hot or temperature outside is hot, cold, or raining. It is random, having purchased this used vehicle only 4 months ago, driven less than 1000 miles, I don't feel safe as a female senior citizen traveling alone any distance in this vehicle, previous owner had the dealer replace fuel pump and computer (twice). I have replaced the 1 year old battery due to a hot to the touch cable to the battery, not generating the proper amount of power, also replaced the original computer with a new computer which did not resolve this issue. Numerous complaints were told a win or tipm module would fix this problem which it didn't. 2010 dodge grand caravan recall: ignition replacement.
