It's identical to the Ro3 Dodge Grand Caravan recall. My year, make, and model were recalled for this issue, but Dodge says my vin falls out the production window. However, parts from the exact same vendor (Continental) that suffer from the same weak internal detents were often installed in vehicles outside the official recall parameters. The internal springs in my Wireless Ignition Node (WIN) module have worn down, causing the vehicle to turn off from road bumps or key weight. The van stalls when the key jiggles. Driving down the road and I lose everything, power steering etc. Super dangerous to myself and others on the roadway. It's obviously the issue, when you watch the key fall into accessory mode from a bump or road vibration. This has happened repeatedly and the recall should be expanded to include more VIN numbers experiencing the same issue.

Engine stalls while driving by model year
What owners say
I am filing a formal complaint regarding a safety recall remedy denial by an authorized franchised dealership. My 2010 Dodge Grand Caravan has an active, uncompleted safety recall (Recall R03 / Wireless Ignition Node Module). When I attempted to schedule and complete this critical safety repair, the dealership's service department refused to perform the work. The service department stated that they would not honor the safety recall because they were concerned that surrounding 15-year-old plastic components or dashboard trim panels might break during disassembly. Under the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act, manufacturers and their authorized dealers are legally mandated to provide a complete, free, and safe remedy for safety defects. A dealership cannot hold a critical safety hazard repair hostage over liability concerns regarding brittle plastic trim. The dealership's refusal to perform this work leaves me driving a vehicle with an unaddressed ignition switch defect that could cause the engine to stall unexpectedly, disabling power steering, brakes, and airbags. I request that the federal safety agency investigate this dealership's refusal to honor federal safety recalls and instruct Greenway Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram (9051 E Colonial Dr, Orlando, FL 32817) to ensure an authorized facility completes safety repair issues immediately in the future, as required by law.
The win modules failed, engine shut off while driving. Yes. Not been inspected. No warnings
The ignition switch is faulty and extremely dangerous. The module that is defective is called the WIN module or Wireless Ignition Node module. Over 1 million dodge and Chrysler cars between 2008 and 2010 were recalled for this issue but when I called the local dealer for my 2010, they claim my car does not have the issue. I had the same exact issue with my 2008 and it also was claimed not to be covered which cost me over $600 to repair. What is the issue? Well, the car will spontaneously turn off while driving and or go into the accessory mode. This is extremely problematic because it is happening at random and is unexpected. In addition, the key then requires the driver to force it into the hole using extreme pressure to get it re-started. I feel that not enough of these were recalled as I have the exact problem (twice now on both my Vans) as described in R03 / the federal safety agency 14V‑373. Since I keep my cars longer than most, this it seems entirely possible that the issue shows up later as the car ages. Incident can be re-produced at will with slight manipulation and happens at least once per week without trying to force the issue.

The engine shut off while driving. This has happened with my wife and myself over 20 times. I can shift it into neutral and restart the car. Sometimes it takes 2-3 times to start the car (again). One time I was going down a hill on a curve about 30mph and it shut down. I could barely turn the steering wheel manually to prevent me crossing the double yellow lines into another car. This could be very dangerous! I have not gotten around to taking it to a dealer 60 miles away. My car has not been inspected by anyone yet. There were no warning lights or messages or any other symptoms of the problem prior to the failures.
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
