Loss of power steering by model year
What owners say
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.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 dodge grand caravan. While driving 20-60 MPH, the vehicle shut down, and lost power steering and power braking ability. There was no warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was pulled over and restarted. The vehicle was taken to don miller dodge chrysler jeep (5802 odana rd, madison, wi 53719-1212, 608‑270‑5000) where a diagnostic test was recommended. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure recurred ten times. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that there was no recall. The failure mileage was approximately 105,000. Consumer took vehicle to a local autozone for a computer check. Consumer was told that the problem would not show up because the check engine light was not on. Consumer says that issue is similar to manufacturer recall lo2 (win module).
Often after starting the vehicle and in drive it will automatically shut off. I have to put in neutral and turn ignition over again to make it drive again. This happens at stop lights, city streets and expressways. The radio and air will still work but I'm just coasting with no power steering.
When pulling out onto the main road from the neighborhood, steering failed (stiff as if no power steering and vehicle propulsion failed (foot on the gas produced no forward motion). Vehicle was quiet. Almost like a stall or as if the vehicle was in neutral, but there was no indication that the vehicle had stalled. Driver turned the vehicle off and back on and was able to resume normal driving. This is the third or fourth incident.
The engine will turn off while driving and then nothing works. No air bags, no power steering, no power brakes. This happens frequently. This has happened while driving on city streets under 35 MPH. At highway speeds this could be fatal.
Van stalls while driving- no steering, etc
While driving, cars engine turns to accessory, no power steering. Have to stop car and restart. This is an issue with the win module and key fob ignition and should have been part of a recall but, it slipped through the cracks and the manufacturer will not realize the fact that my car was built on may 26th 2010 and should have a recall applied to vehicles built through june 18, 2010. Which mine was but, my VIN number reports no issue. I've contacted dodge and they have not authorized the dealership to cover any costs. This has almost caused accidents 3 times now. It sickens me how big dealerships can get away with negligence and allow possible deaths because of mistakes and not following proper recall procedures. Shop won't get me in until weeks later and will not do anything until they charge me diagnostic fees even though this is/was a known issue. I've wasted hours on the phone with dodge and the dealership and I'm sure the dealership is about to rip me off with diagnostic fees trying to replicate this known issue. Please force dodge to re-investigate their work of the recalls of this model before other people with this missed recall issue get hurt.

2010 dodge grand caravan. Car shuts down while drive. Causes to have no steering or brakes. No warning before it happens. On street moving. Unknown of what is actually happening or why it is doing this. *tt
When driving down the road at any speed vehicle will shut off randomly with losing power steering and brakes. Have to pull over and restart it and is fine. Had the r03 recall done before. Safety issue is it's hard to control and brake without crashing.. It's happebing more and more. Started out just maybe once or twice now it can happen 3-4x in one trip of 20 min drive
2010 dodge grand caravan sxt 4.0l has stalled 4 times while driving speeds of 15mph, 30mph and twice at 45mph. When the vehicle stalls you lose power steering and power brakes. The radio still works and the only thing that appears on instrument panel is the stability control light. The first time it happened I pulled over and restarted the car, now I shift into neutral and restart. I have had 2 recalls completed on ignition switch and I only use the one key so it is not the weight of key chain. This is supposed to be a family car and now my wife will not drive for fear of this happening with kids in vehicle and causing an accident. Come on chrysler/dodge your better than this... Well at least I thought you were! I have an appointment but I know I will get a run around and no one will have every heard about this problem, but its all over every forum discussion.
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.
