2010 Dodge Grand Caravan: jerking or lurching

Filed Feb 15, 2019 · Electrical, Engine · 100,000 miles · KY

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.

I had turned onto a highway and was accelerating and when I got up to speed, 65 MPH, I let off the gas but the van kept accelerating. I hit the brakes and it kept trying to accelerate while I was hitting the brakes. I checked to make sure there was nothing on the gas pedal and there was nothing. I was trying not to hit other cars and slow down so I could pull over. I didn't think to put it in neutral but stomped on the emergency brake with the regular brakes and it finally slowed down enough I could pull over but it still kept trying to accelerate. When I got to the side of the road it was still kind of lurching forward trying to accelerate while I was still standing on the brakes. I turned the key off and it finally stopped. Through this whole ordeal it felt like someone was pressing on the gas at the same time that I was hitting the brakes and it didn't stop until I turned the van off.

While stopped and then try to drive forward or reverse, there would be a pause and then suddenly jerk forward/reverse and then be okay. The last time before I had it serviced, (under warranty), I was able to drive forward but reverse would only last a few seconds before it wouldn't work. You press on the gas but it wouldn't move. If you put into forward and then reverse it sometimes let you reverse further but only a foot at a time. New 2010 grand caravan with 5100 [xxx] is getting the transmission replaced.
