2014 Dodge Grand Caravan: engine stalls while driving

Filed Aug 21, 2024 · Electrical, Engine · MN

The vehicle suddenly shuts down while driving creating a dangerous situation. The dealership diagnosed it as a faulty ignition switch and said it is common and that there was the same issue on previous generation of caravan that was recalled. I have it scheduled for replacement and will ask for the old part back.

Ignition module failed, causing van to stall while driving. The stall forced the vehicle to lose power steering and it had to coast over to the shoulder to get out of traffic, this could’ve resulted in a crash or blocking traffic. This happened twice, once during a very hot day. The van was able to restart after about 30 minutes and finished the short distance to the destination. The second time was at night when temps had cooled 20 degrees and it stalled at approximately the same distance it had traveled the first time. That time it was not able to be restarted and had to be towed to a repair shop, where they tested and replaced the ignition module. No warning lights or indicators went off either time prior to the engine stall. The check engine light did not come on until the second time when it would not start again.

We own a 2014 dodge grand caravan with 41000 miles on it that has been stalling while driving at mostly in town speeds. No power steering assist , no power brake assist. This vehicle is equipped with hand controls for a disabled driver. With one hand on the steering wheel and one hand on the brake lever all you can do is coast to a stop. Yes the same failures as the 2008 thru 2010 grand caravans that were recalled. The ignition switch has a weak detent spring in it. We had the switch and both keys replaced at a local dealership in rural wisconsin that just happened to have the switch in stock. The service writer got into the vehicle and jiggled the key which shut of the ignition and stated yes this is a bad switch just like the recalled ones.. I have called chrysler asking for them to cover the cost of $977.91 and they just reply with " I am sorry but your vehicle is out of warranty"

Van stalled a few times, out of the blue, while driving at a low speed due to construction. Never had previous problem. Stalled in road while trying to make a left turn into gas station. Got van running and attempted to turn, motor died down to barely a crawl and was about to stall as a semi truck approached us. Gas pedal to the floor, tires squealing barely got out of the trucks way. Engine stalled again, coasted into station but blocking drive. Could not start again, had to push out of the way. It turned out to be the #2 cylinder which is the same issues the 2011-2013's grand caravans had a safety bulletin 09-002-14 put out for in 2014. I have attached a copy of my repair bill.

My wife was driving our 2014 dodge grand caravan home from the store in may 2019 when the engine stalled and shut off in an intersection. Thankfully someone stopped to help push the van out of the intersection. We were able to get the van towed to our local dealer/service. Diagnostics indicated an engine misfire and service technician found low compression in cylinder #3. Further troubleshooting determined the problem was a valve failure and the dealer repairs cost us over $2,700. Unfortunately, our 5yr/50,000mi limited powertrain warranty expired in april...eight days before the engine failure! We previously enjoyed owning a chrysler town & country and have been happy with the performance and utility of the grand caravan, but the engine failure seems to be the same issue as other owners have experienced on previous model years. Apparently the powertrain warranty was extended for 2011-2013 model years, but not 2014. This is an issue that needs to be resolved by fca us before it becomes a safety issue.
