2011 dodge grand caravan, approximately 119k miles. Intermittent problem of the electronic stability light (ESC) coming on while applying light pressure to the breaks. It can happen driving slow (through town) or on the freeway. Once the light comes on, no noticeable difference is seen while driving other than cruise control is turned off if it was engaged before the light comes on. Once the vehicle is stopped and put in park, it will not come out of park (such as put in reverse or drive), the key must be cycled. Once the key is cycled, everything returns to normal (ESC light is off, and the shifter can be engaged to neutral, drive, reverse etc. Several mechanics cannot either reproduce the problem, or figure out what the problem is. While the problem seems to be random, my wife and I can both reproduce the problem either while in park (tapping on the break) or while driving.

My van's air conditioning wasn't working so I took it into the dealer...when they gave it back I had cold air in the front but not in the back, I took it back again, they fixed the air for the front but then the fan wasn't working at all in the back vents, I took it back a 3 rd time finally it seemed fixed, since then I have lost control of using the buttons on my steering wheel, cruise control only works when it wants to, and my vehicle will turn over but has a hard time starting, they have changed out the starter messed with my wiring and changed out my battery, it still isn't fixed. Now my vents in the backseats are not blowing air again, they replaced the starter, the battery and still I am having all these problems. Could this have to do with a recall that hasn't been done on my vehicle? Also I bought the van new and have had a few paint jobs to fix the rubbing of the side doors that cause my paint to rub off above the wheel wells, I finally gave up on having it fixed but I know this is an error on chrysler's side as I can show you atleast two more grand caravan's same year with the same rubbed off paint because of side doors. Very disappointed in buying my first brand new caravan.
