Vehicle is stalling out without warning. I have noticed it is a common problem with the vans from dodge and chrysler. It is dangerous to drive, it stalls in traffic at idle or when pulling into traffic. When it stalls sometimes it will activatee the esp light and set off multiple obd2 codes, orbit will stall and not set off any lights.

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 dodge grand caravan. While driving 35 MPH, the vehicle stalled without warning. The contact was able to restart the vehicle. The contact stated that the failure was intermittent. The vehicle was taken to the dealer to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the fuel injection and air intake needed to be cleaned. The vehicle was repaired, but the vehicle experienced the failure after the repairs. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 77,000.
While driving the vehicle just stalls out of no where and is very dangerous. Almost wrecked 3 times during the stall period because power steering and engine did not respond.
The switch was fixed and keys replaced but after that the car stalled three times(11/27/2015,1/6/16 and 1/7/16) and stopped completely and lost power and steering ability. The car started to slow down first and not being able to accelerate until everything was dead during which the electronic stability program indicator flashed.the road was dry (no snow or ice). The speed was 25-30 MPH in two occasions and 40 MPH last time.
The vehicle stall while driving forward on the streets, in motion, it shuts off completely disabling power steering, brakes, etc.
Gas cap often fails to close completely. Even after carefully closing it, you often find it opened by itself.
I live in troy michigan and on a trip to go pick up my teenage daughter driving.on m-59 my car started expelling coolant in the form.of steam from underneath the hood and inside the vehicle. I immediate stopped at the closest automotive store.less.than a mile from where it started the incident. It was discovered by the mechanic at bell tire that the steel intercooler lines that run to the interior heater had ruptured. I contacted chrysler as steel tube should not fail unless some manufacture issue was overlooked. As a senior systems engineer mean time before failure on a component like this should have never happened at the low mileage on the vehicle. I followed up to find.out cost to repair and the sales rep also let me know that a second grand caravan 2008 model had just come.in with the same failure. This is absolutely chrysler failure to engineer this correctly and I would.lile to see this resolved before greater damage is done.
Five separate times while driving this van the engine just shuts down and we coast to a stop. This has happened at various speeds, the last event occurred while driving on the expressway at an aprox. Speed of 55-60 MPH. Speed of the van does not seem to matter as we have had this occur at speeds ranging from 15-60 MPH. Weather also does not seem to matter as the events happened in winter and summer. We have reported this problem to the dodge dealership. They kept our van for a week attempting to have the problem occur for them without success. We are fearful every time we drive this van because when the engine shuts off we lose power to the steering and brakes. This is dangerous! Chrysler does not seem to have a solution to this problem. Help!
I was pulling into a parking spot at sam's club in woodbury, mn. As I was pulling in, my van rapidly accelerated and hit the car parked across from me head on. It felt as if I was riding a bumper car and I was whipped around a corner. My vehicle suffered damages at approximately $2600--so it wasn't just a simple bump. I am reasonably certain that this was not user error on my part. The brakes were repaired approximately 2 weeks before the accident.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 dodge grand caravan. The contact stated that while refueling, a passenger opened the rear driver's side door and it struck the contact's hand, causing him to release the fuel nozzle. The contact felt it was a most disastrous design flaw. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileage was 64,000.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 dodge grand caravan. The contact stated that when driving approximately 5-30 MPH, the vehicle would stall and the steering wheel would seize without warning. The contact would restart the vehicle without any issues. The failure recurred on an intermittent basis. The vehicle was later taken to a dealer for diagnosis. After test driving the vehicle, the contact was advised that the fuel injection system could have caused the failure. The vehicle was repaired by cleaning the fuel injectors. The manufacturer was contacted and offered no assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 36,500. The current mileage was approximately 40,000. Updated 12/14/12 *bf the consumer stated when the engine died, the steering and brakes would die as well. The engine had while half through making a left turn, twice backing out of the driveway, and twice going over a speed bump at 12-15 MPH. Updated 12/19/2012
Fuel sensor is not working. We do not know when the gas tank is empty or if it is full. One week it takes 11 gallons to fill the tank and the next week 14. So the dealership replaced the fuel sensor last week. We have had gas fumes in the van since then. Also when we tried to fill the tank it had a vapor lock and no gas would go in the tank. Went back to dealership and was told there may be a wire loose on sensor and no way to tell. I was given the van back and nothing was done to repair the problem. We do not feel safe driving a van with gas fumes and a possible loose wire. I tried to get chrysler case manager [xxx] on the phone. After 1 hour on hold I was disconnected and when I called back [xxx] would not help me except to say someone would call me tuesday. This is very unsafe.

Bought brand new dodge caravan mar 23 2010 and june it killed while driving 40-45 MPH and took 45 minutes to start again. Brought it to benson in greer sc where we bought the car and because the computer did not show anything they did nothing. Killed again and brought to dealership. Said they would hook it to computer but could only fix it if it showed something. Luckily it killed on them and they had to push it into shop. The car killed again for the third time of us, and barely missed having an accident. They told us that it was one of two parts and they had only replaced one previously. When asked why they told us they would have to pay for parts if turned them into gmac and they were good. They obviously had no concern for our safety or others on the road when the vehicle just suddenly stops when driving accelerated speed. It was considered a lemon by there arbitration board however, they just tell us to drive it till it kills again or kills us or someone else. Benson dealership, greer sc
