WHILE TURNING A CORNER ON MY WAY TO WORK AT 5:30 AM, MY 2010 GRAND CARAVAN WITH 13,835 MILES TOTALLY WENT DEAD, I HAD THE LIGHTS, BLOWER ON, THE RADIO ON AND THE REAR DEFROSTER ON, AND EVERYTHING WENT DEAD. NO STEERING AND THE BRAKES WERE OUT. SINCE I WAS TURNING LEFT, I HAD TO CROSS 4 LANES OF TRAFFIC WITH NO POWER. I WAS ABLE TO PULL INTO A PARKING LOT, PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND IT RESTARTED. I DID HAVE TO TURN THE KEY TO THE OFF POSITION AND PUT IT IN PARK, AS PUTTING IT IN NEUTRAL AND TURNING THE KEY DID NOTHING. I CHECKED THE DODGE WEBSITE FOR THE RECALL INFORMATION AND IT SAYS THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT IN THE LISTING OF RECALLED VEHICLES. I HAVE SENT AN EMAIL TO DODGE. THIS DID HAPPEN 2 TO 3 PREVIOUS TIMES WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, BUT THE CAR JUST SEEMED LIKE IT WAS LOSING POWER, BUT THEN IT CAME BACK TO LIFE-IT DID NOT HAVE A TOTAL LOSS OF POWER AND IT DID NOT REQUIRE ME TO RESTART THE ENGINE. *TR

FUEL SENSOR IS NOT WORKING. WE DO NOT KNOW WHEN THE GAS TANK IS EMPTY OR IF IT IS FULL. ONE WEEK IT TAKES 11 GALLONS TO FILL THE TANK AND THE NEXT WEEK 14. SO THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE FUEL SENSOR LAST WEEK. WE HAVE HAD GAS FUMES IN THE VAN SINCE THEN. ALSO WHEN WE TRIED TO FILL THE TANK IT HAD A VAPOR LOCK AND NO GAS WOULD GO IN THE TANK. WENT BACK TO DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THERE MAY BE A WIRE LOOSE ON SENSOR AND NO WAY TO TELL. I WAS GIVEN THE VAN BACK AND NOTHING WAS DONE TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM. WE DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING A VAN WITH GAS FUMES AND A POSSIBLE LOOSE WIRE. I TRIED TO GET CHRYSLER CASE MANAGER [XXX] ON THE PHONE. AFTER 1 HOUR ON HOLD I WAS DISCONNECTED AND WHEN I CALLED BACK [XXX] WOULD NOT HELP ME EXCEPT TO SAY SOMEONE WOULD CALL ME TUESDAY. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE.

THE DEALER HAS A RECORD ON FILE OF MY COMPLAINTS. HAS ANYONE PURSUED LEGAL ACTION REGARDING SIMILAR PROBLEMS SUCH AS I HAVE EXPERIENCED?

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.

SINCE BASICALLY BRAND NEW THE BRAKES FELT FUNNY TO ME. MY WIFE SAID IT WAS JUST ME. HAD DEALER CHECK THEM UNDER 1 YEAR AND THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG. WITHIN 6 MONTH OF THAT VISIT THE RECALL CAME OUT AND FRONT BRAKES COULD BE REPLACED. COST ME THE DEDUCTIBLE. WELL THAT FIX HAS NEVER FELT RIGHT EITHER AND IT'S GETTING WORSE. THE SHAKE IS VIOLENT NOW IN ADDITION TON THE GRINDING THAT HAPPENS EVERY TIME THE CAR JUST STARTS UP FOR THE DAY OR GOD FORBID YOU HAVE TO HIT THEM HARD FOR A QUICK STOP. TONS OF GROANING AND CREAKS NOT TOO MENTION AND DRAGGED OUT STOP. YOU ALSO CAN'T TELL ME THIS KIND OF SHAKING IS GOOD FOR THE OTHER FRONT END PARTS. AS I SEE IT I CAN KEEP GOING THROUGH SETS OF BRAKES THAT WILL WARP FAST AND NOT PROVIDE ME AND MY FAMILY THE SAFETY WE NEED TO BE COMFORTABLE OR GET RID OF IT. GIVE YOU ONE GUESS WHICH DIRECTION I'M HEADING. SAID COMMERCIAL FOR DODGE AND THEIR QUALITY. I HAVE OWNED MANY DODGE VEHICLES BUT WILL LIKELY MOVE ON ALL TOGETHER FROM THEM. ALREADY REPLACED MY DODGE DURANGO 2004 THAT DID QUITE WELL WITH 2012 NISSAN ARMADA. I WILL BE WATCHING IN MY REAR VIEW FOR DODGE MIN-VANS AND BE SURE TO MOVE OUT THE WAY NOT KNOWING IF THEY CAN STOP BEFORE HITTING ME. THE WORST BRAKING I HAVE FELT ON A CAR EVER AND I'VE DRIVEN SOME TERRIBLE 1970'S MACHINES. BOO DODGE ON THIS ONE FOR NOT STEPPING UP AND FIXING THE ENTIRE PROBLEM. GUESS POTENTIAL LAWSUITS WILL COST THEM LESS. HOW DO THEY SLEEP AT NIGHT. THAT FELT GOOD TO GET OFF MY CHEST I TRULY HATE THIS VEHICLE. *TR

THE ENGINE ON MY 2010 DODGE CARAVAN SHUTS OFF WHILE I AM DRIVING. IT HAS HAPPENED 4 OR 5 TIMES IN THE LAST 15 MONTHS. I HAVE USUALLY BEEN DRIVING AT A SPEED OF 35-45 MPH. SINCE THE POWER STEERING SHUTS OFF, I CANNOT STEER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I HAVE TO PUSH THE BRAKED REALLY HARD TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND TURN THE KEY TO THE OFF POSITION. I THEN HAVE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND HAVING PASSENGERS IN MY VEHICLE. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER TWICE FOR THIS PROBLEM AND SINCE THEY CANNOT RE-CREATE THE INCIDENT, THEY CANNOT EXPLAIN WHY IT HAPPENS. THERE HAVE BEEN NO MODIFICATIONS OR REPAIR ATTEMPTS MADE. I FOUND A SIMILAR RECALL ONLINE CHRYSLER RECALL NUMBER L02, BUT WHEN I CALLED DODGE/CHRYSLER, I WAS INFORMED THAT MY VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS REASON, ALTHOUGH OTHERS THE SAME YEAR AND MODEL HAVE BEEN RECALLED. I WAS ADVISED BY A PERSON AT DODGE/CHRYSLER TO TAKE MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH A COPY OF THIS ARTICLE TO SEE IF THEY CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. I AM TAKING THE VEHICLE TOMORROW. *TR

I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH MY 2010 DOGE GRAND CARAVAN SINCE WE BOUGHT IT. BUT ON 2/7/11 I THOUGHT WE WERE GOING TO DIE DUE TO THE CAR SHUTTING DOWN AT 60 MILES PER HOUR. WE WERE DRIVING 60 MPH IN THE FAST LANE OF TRAFFIC WHEN THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. I LOST MY POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES AND DID MY BEST TO PULL OFF TO SAFETY. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND A SERVICE MAN ASKED ME TO CHECK TO SEE IF I HAD RAN OUT OF GAS. I STILL HAD ABOUT 10 GALLONS IN MY TANK. THE VAN DID TURN BACK ON SO HE HAD ME DRIVE ABOUT A MILE OR SO TO HIS GARAGE. HE PUT THE CAR ON A COMPUTER TO CHECK THE CODES. HE CLAIMS THERE WAS NO CODES INDICATING THIS ENGINE FAILURE. NO SURPRISE BECAUSE THIS DEALERSHIP, THE SAME ONE I BOUGHT THE VAN TELLS ME THERE IS NOTHING WRONG EACH TIME SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAPPENS. I CHECKED THE INTERNET AND THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHER COMPLAINTS SHOWING ENGINE FAILURE ON THIS MAKE AND MODEL AT 60 MILES PER HOUR. SOME OF THE COMPLAINTS INVOLVED CHILDREN SITTING IN THE BACK SEAT WHEN THE VAN'S ENGINE DIED AT 60 MPH. I REPORTED THIS TO CHYSLER AND HAVE A CASE NUMBER [XXX]. I WAS TOLD TO CONTACT ANOTHER DEALERSHIP WHICH I CALLED TODAY. THEY TOLD ME THE SERVICE MANAGER WAS NOT IN AND SOMEONE WOULD CALL ME BACK. NO ONE HAS CALLED ME BACK SO I AM WRITING THIS COMPLAINT IN HOPES THAT I WILL GET HELP WITH THIS URGENT MATTER. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THE BRAKE ROTORS WARP EVERY 20,000 MILES OR SO, SO BAD THAT THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON BOTH MY 2008 AND MY 2010 CARAVAN. DODGE HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM FOR YEARS AND HAS REFUSED TO ADDRESS IT OTHER THAN TO GIVE A DISCOUNT ONLY IF YOU ASK FOR IT. GETTING THEM FIXED AT THE DEALER IS A PAIN CAUSE THEY TAKE THE VAN FOR AT LEAST A DAY SOME TIMES TWO. ALSO THE WHEEL BEARINGS ON THE 2008 DID NOT LAST VERY LONG AT ALL FIRST SET WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY(37,000 MILES) SECOND SET(68,000MILES) WAS NOT. I HAVE NOT HAD THE WHEEL BEARING ISSUE ON THE 2010. THE WHEEL BEARINGS ARE SEALED SO IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE WARPED ROTOR ISSUE. *TR

I HIT A MOOSE CALF DRIVING MY 2010 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN AT ABOUT 65 MPH. I BARELY HAD TIME TO HIT THE BRAKES SO I WAS GOING QUITE FAST WHEN I HIT AND KILLED THE ANIMAL. THE FRONT END OF MY VAN CRUMPLED UP AND THE RADIATOR, ETC WAS DESTROYED, THE WINDSHIELD SMASHED, HOOD BUCKLED, DRIVER'S DOOR UNABLE TO OPEN. WHILE THE EXPLOSION THAT IS CONNECTED WITH AN AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT OCCURRED (THE CHEMICAL CLOUD FILLED THE VEHICLE), THE AIRBAGS THEMSELVES DID NOT INFLATE.

DRIVER ARM REST DOES NOT SUPPORT WEIGHT AND WILL FALL DOWN CAUSING DRIVER TO BRIEFLY LOSE CONTROL OF CAR.

SO I HAVE A 2010 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN SE THAT HAS ALL KINDS OF PROBLEMS LIKE ONLY GETTING 19 MILES TO A GALLON WHEN ADVERTISED AS 25 AND NOW THE ARM REST BASICALLY COLLAPSES ANY TIME WEIGHT IS PUT ON IT ON THE DRIVER'S SEAT. ALL THE OTHER ARM RESTS ARE SUPPORTIVE EXCEPT THE ONE YOU NEED MOST. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TOLD ME OTHER CUSTOMERS HAVE VOICED THE SAME COMPLAINT AND HE COULD TAKE ME TO THE NEW VANS ON THE LOT AND SHOW ME THE SAME PROBLEM WITH CARS NEVER DRIVEN SO I KNOW THIS IS A DEFECTIVE ARM REST JUST BY WHAT HE HAS TOLD ME. *LN

BOUGHT A PRE CERTIFIED FULL WARRANTY USED VEHICLE FROM SORENSONS. AFTER THE FIRST WEEK I COMPLAINED ABOUT VAN VIBRATING WHEN TRYING TO STOP AND PROBLEMS WITH BRAKES. I WAS TOLD THEY ARE FINE. STILL COMPLAINING AFTER A YEAR TO EXECUTIVE OFFICE AT CHRYSLER I GOT AN EXTENDED WARRANTY LETTER TO GET NEW ROTORS AND FRONT BRAKE PADS DUE TO THE DEFECT ON THESE HOT SPOTS AND WARPING. I COMPLAINED FOR OVER A YEAR AND AM TOLD YES WE ADMIT THE BRAKES ARE DEFECTIVE BUT YOU MUST PAY 100.00 DEDUCTIBLE BECAUSE YOU HAVE 28000 MILES ON THE VAN. WHY AM I TO PAY A DEDUCTIBLE ON A DEFECTIVE PART THAT COULD HAVE CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH. ALL I GET IS THE RUNAROUND WITH [XXX] AT CHRYSLER. THIS IS AFTER THE IGNITION SHUT OFF AT 60 MILES AN HOUR PROBLEM AND NOW THIS. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I WAS DRIVING AT 55 MPH,WHEN A DEER RAN IN FRONT OF ME AND I STRUCK IT. I DID NOT HAVE TIME TO HIT MY BRAKES, AND I HIT THE DEER AT FULL SPEED, SQUARE ON WITH THE FRONT OF MY 2007 DODGE CARAVAN. IT BROKE MY FRONT BUMPER, RADIATOR, A/C CONDENSER, HEADLIGHT, FENDER, ETC. ALTHOUGH I HIT THE DEER AT 55 MPH, MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I HAD MY SEATBELT ON, BUT STILL SUFFERED A BAD WHIPLASH AND STRAINED BACK. *TR

VEHICLE STALLED WHILE REVERSING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE. MOMENTS LATER, WHILE VEHICLE WAS IN PARK AND RUNNING, VEHICLE BEGAN TO DRIFT BACKWARDS AND HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE. *TR

WHEN DRIVING THERE IS NO NOTICEABLE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HIGH AND LOW BEAMS- IF ANYTHING THE LOWS SEEM BRIGHTER- ALSO, I GET FLASHED A LOT BY ONCOMING DRIVERS WHEN MY LIGHTS ARE ON LOW BEAMS. *TR

WHEN THE VEHICLE HAD ONLY 12000 MILES MY FRONT TIRES WERE COMPLETELY BARE (LIKE RACING SLICKS). WAS TAKEN TO 2 DEALERSHIPS AND THEY LOOKED AT THE VAN AND FOUND NOTHING WRONG THAT WOULD CAUSE THE TIRE WEAR (ALIGNMENT WAS FINE). I FOUGHT AND FOUGHT WITH CHRYSLER TO PAY FOR THEM, WHICH THEY FINALLY DID ABOUT 3 WEEKS AFTER THE PROBLEM WAS ADDRESSED. NOW MY VEHICLE HAS 15000 MILES AND WHILE DRIVING ALL YOU CAN HEAR IS NOISES (ALMOST LIKE ROAD NOISE BUT ITS FROM THE FRONT END). MOST LIKELY, WHEEL BEARINGS, BALL JOINT, TIE RODS ETC. ON 10/21/11, WHILE PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY LOW AND BEHOLD WHAT DO YOU HERE, NOTHING BUT THE SOUND OF GRINDING BRAKES. NO SIGN OF BRAKE HAVING A ISSUES THE DAY BEFORE WHEN DRIVEN. THIS PARTICULAR VAN THAT I PURCHASED BRAND NEW (WITH 2 MILES ON IT) CLEARLY IS A LEMON AND HAS FAULTY PARTS OR SOMETHING MAJORLY WRONG WITH IT. NONE OF THESE PARTS OF THE VEHICLE SHOULD BE GOING AT THIS AMOUNT OF MILES. AS ALWAYS, CHRYSLER AND ITS' DEALERS SAY THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE IT. *TR
