the driver side window components made lots of noise then the window fell down into the door causing me to need a motel and find a window repair shop as I was traveling from NY to Georgia when this happened, the resulting bills were close to $1000. yes it is available for inspection I am [XXX] was [XXX] and this $ issue is very simply a terrible burden to my life, luckily I had a credit card with me that I could use but paying that balance will be a time consuming endeavor on the little I live on financially. the component was inspected by the glass repair shop as it was being torn apart to be fixed. no warnings were provided only horrible noise from the door just before the window dropped the next time I went to use it. The last Dodge Grand caravan I owned was a 2005 and I had it 6 years with minimal expense so when I found this one, a 2010 with no power doors it was ideal for me financially or so I thought, has caused considerable problems in my financial life and now I am too scared to go back to NY with it for fear of the other windows breaking. I got a motel room because a storm was impending, called window repair shops in Chambersburg va, the second one I called said bring it over, it was the weekend before July 4th of 2025 and I was very lucky to get the help as the shop owner was leaving for a week vacay soon, they ordered the part from the nearby dealership, but it cost me $583. for the part plus repair, truly devastating.

The win modules failed, engine shut off while driving. Yes. Not been inspected. No warnings

When you are driving all of a sudden it just won't go forward and it has slipped into neutral. You have to find a place to coast so you can shut it off and restart it then it will go again. You never know when it's going to do it so it's very dangerous because there is not always a place to pull over. I have to put my flashers on and hope everyone goes around. I took it to repair place and they were unfamiliar with this happening. It does this from 1 to 4 times a day.

While driving, rear driver side sliding door opened and continues to do so.

Without warning the car completely shuts off. This is very dangerous because it happened on the freeway (luckily the cars slowed down behind me). It is intermittent and two different mechanics have not been able to detect the problem. Was there a recall on this issue? What can be done to make this vehicle safer to operate. This has been going on for about 2 years.

The ignition switch is faulty and extremely dangerous. The module that is defective is called the WIN module or Wireless Ignition Node module. Over 1 million dodge and Chrysler cars between 2008 and 2010 were recalled for this issue but when I called the local dealer for my 2010, they claim my car does not have the issue. I had the same exact issue with my 2008 and it also was claimed not to be covered which cost me over $600 to repair. What is the issue? Well, the car will spontaneously turn off while driving and or go into the accessory mode. This is extremely problematic because it is happening at random and is unexpected. In addition, the key then requires the driver to force it into the hole using extreme pressure to get it re-started. I feel that not enough of these were recalled as I have the exact problem (twice now on both my Vans) as described in R03 / NHTSA 14V-373. Since I keep my cars longer than most, this it seems entirely possible that the issue shows up later as the car ages. Incident can be re-produced at will with slight manipulation and happens at least once per week without trying to force the issue.

Was going to pick a friend up from the airport, stopped at the gas station because the van suddenly started handling funny, and noticed 4 wheel studs were sheared off. Had to tow the vehicle to the shop.

Was hit in the side and in my Dodge minivan the side curtain airbags never deployed. The van was a total loss so was the car that hit me and his airbag did deploy. I did injure my lower back and shoulder.

Many 2010 Dodge Grand Caravans were covered under a recall for a failed WIN module (NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V373000) in which the key can move to the off or accessory positions. Though our Grand Caravan is not covered, our WIN module has failed in the same manner as those covered in the recall. The van and WIN module was inspected and diagnosed by our local Chrysler, Dodge dealership. Keys have been loose in the WIN module and indicator lights related to the failure of the WIN module come on intermittently due to the electrical issue caused by the failed WIN module.

We've had two separate incidents a few months apart where a tire suddenly feel off the vehicle. In both instances, the studs had been sheared off. Then, last week, a 2009 Chrysler Town and Country lost a wheel that hit my house. I checked the vehicle, and the studs were sheared off that one as well. Google turns up a studs recall for the 2012-2021, but that recall doesn't go far enough back.
