2014 Dodge Grand Caravan Electrical System Problems

I have a 2014 Dodge Caravan.The van only has 48 k miles. The battery went bad so I replaced the battery. Then the problem started. 1st the car will NOT turn off. I remove the key and the engine is still running and won't turn off. I had to remove the ASD relay which was very hot. Once I was able to shut down ,now the dashboard shows the car in reverse but it is actually in park and won't come out of gear. The check engine light is on, the tire is low light is on, and the car with tire tracks is on,(abs). I looked up recalls and they have had a recall on the fuelpump relay .

My car shuts down while idling at a stop light. Before that happens, the rpm drops down, the car shakes a bit, and then the engine dies. What could be the problem?

The contact owns a 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed at night, the vehicle lost motive power. No warning light was illuminated. The contact was able to restart the vehicle. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V373000 (Electrical System, Air Bags); however, the VIN was not included in the recall. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 178,000.

Oh my not safe,and police have to help stop vehicle on freeway with 5 lanes of ongoing traffoc very unsafe and scarry.Please help get these issues fixae asap .Thank you

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.

First, the back hatch would just open itself even if you were going 30 miles an hour or under. Had it checked out couldn’t afford the diagnostics so I took out the fuse. Second, there is a ticking in my right back corner. It doesn’t happen when you’re going down the road, but it happens while you’re parked or just starting out. Mechanic friend of mine checked into it we would have to trace the electrical from front to back and again, I cannot afford that. So there’s 135,000 miles on my vehicle now and this happened about six months ago. I forgot there was a place to report it. I’m not very car savvy. Also, I had to replace my entire starting my starter, my alternator, a battery actually too and now I’m going to have to replace the switch for the ignition that’s all happened within one year or less. Just thought somebody should report these each time I fixed an ignition issue, the problem was fixed for at least a month or two and then the next one would happen. Very aggravating.

Vehicle started on fire while parked. It was a total loss. The auto shop reported that the fire started due to faulty wiring under the driver side seat. Specifically, related to the harness wiring. Thankfully this didn't start while I was driving. I have seen other reports on this website for similar fires on the Dodge Grand Caravan AND an actual recall for the Crysler Town and Country for similar fires related to faulty wiring. That vehicle is almost identical to the dodge grand caravan. Something need to be done before a loss of life incident...I reached out to Dodge to notify them, and an investigator sent me a same day email that Dodge is not responsible. I only had 65,000 miles on this 2014 DGC and took great care of it.

Both sliding door lock actuators buzzed and stopped functioning properly, causing them to need to be replaced. This has been difficult to have the doors close and get the kids in and out. Tpms failing, pressures correct on newer tires light keeps coming on.

I have a problem with fuel pump circuit .it stays open and drain the battery after I shut the car off ,the problem with the fuel pump rely witch s integritated in the TIPM, to solve the problem I have to replace whole TIPM wich is cost $1070. All Dodge Grand Caravan model 2010 to model 2020 have same problem . Please liste this problem as a recall. Thanks for understanding.

The contact owns a 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan. The contact stated the key fob remained stuck in the ignition. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact took the vehicle to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed with needing an unknown component on the dashboard to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 30,000.

First I would like to say I love my van. I did buy used approximately three years ago and it was in great shape. Did not like the fact that I’m not able to check or do anything with my transmission without going to the shop but I was never informed of that prior to purchase. As far as the electrical goes the radio will just stop working no reason whatsoever and then it to work again later. And my back hatch opens whenever it wants! Going down the road parked in the driveway doesn’t matter. For the time being because I’m on a little bit of income I had to pull the fuse for that rear door. The only problem is it won’t even open manually without the fuse in it. Any suggestions

The vehicle has shut itself off multiple times. It is seemingly random and happens without warning. It has happened when driving at slow speeds but it has also happened when driving at speeds of up to 60 mph and the vehicle loses power. We need to maneuver through traffic while coasting to the side of the road with no power steering available until the car is restarted. The dash goes blank and the car is rolled to a stop. The key is turned off and back on and the car drives as if nothing is wrong. It has been brought to a mechanic and dealer. No one has successfully duplicated the issue and there is no code issued after it happens.

Hello good morning I have a serious situation. On April 20, 2022, my 2014 Dodge minivan caught fire at 3:00 a.m. Yes. no explanation. After searching the internet I realized that the same thing has happened to many people with these cars. Look on the official Dodge website, make a claim and they gave me an appointment to see my car on May 24 at Triangle Chrysler in Ponce, Puerto Rico. Later I called today May 27, 2022 to see the result of the investigation and they say that they are not responsible and they do not give me any other explanation. My van is a total loss, everything burned inside. I feel very sad and disappointed as the fire started inside the car in the middle of the morning and it is exactly the same as the recall of this car says. I don't have insurance that covers those damages, nor do I have money to buy another one. I lost everything. I need immediate help. search the internet co. the vin number of the car and the factory recall appears but nobody ever sent me any notification. what can i do i need help

This vehicle was reported as parked and unoccupied when a fire started in the engine compartment

within in the past month the following issues took place: 1. vehicle would not start (battery is less than 1 year old) vehicle was jumped 2. while backing out of the drive way, midway into the street, the car shut off completely and would not start. Engine was running fine, wasn't a "stall". All electrical components shut off. While attempting to put car in neutral to push, the vehicle than started. 3. The day prior to this, my wife reported that while driving on the highway the dashboard lights completely shut off, they then started flashing on and off while driving. 4. This same issue happened on 10/30/21 The car has not yet been taken in for service for this problem. After the incident listed in #4 the battery warning light remained on.

Loud buzzing sound when left rear sliding door locks. Apparently it is an actuator or something. Terrifying because the doors lock when you start driving. It is startling me each time. Door recently would not open. It is not opening but the buzzing is loud and new.

This is the second time my driver side window motor has gone out. I know this is not a normal wear a d tear issue. The shifting column had the plastic cover just pop off(I guess the glue melted or it wasn't even secured in the first place. Driver side seat plastic covering over the switches disconnected from whatever it was connected too. As much as these cars are priced and sold, might as well by power wheel toy, because that's the quality. The control panel keeps flickering for the passenger doors and trunk. It's hit or miss if the rear hatch opens and sometimes we open the idimf door and it will close halfway to opening. I have had the car multi point inspected at a dodge dealership in January due to the sliding door malfunction as well as a major oil leak and repaired but the amount of electrical issues has been ongoing since purchase!!

Was driving onto a narrow 2 lane elevated bridge when, without warning, the engine just stopped. There were no warning lights or sounds before or after the engine stopped. I was stranded on this bridge on busy route U.S 17 and no other drivers could go around me because of construction barriers. Eventually some other drivers that were stuck behind me helped me push vehicle to crest of bridge and I coasted to the bottom of the bridge and got out of the roadway. Vehicle was towed to Dodge dealer because it would not restart. Dealer diagnosed problem as Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM). Cost to repair was $1382. It became quite apparent to me that Chrysler-Dodge has made a fortune replacing these parts on many of their vehicles, to the level that would indicate that there is some defect in the design or manufacturing of these parts. I have since read hundreds of stories about other drivers left stranded in the roadway over this issue. Certainly seems dangerous enough to warrant a safety recall over these numerous part failures.

The rear sliding door on the driver side started having a buzzing noise when the door auto locks or when the power lock is used. My local Dodge dealership said the lock actuator is going bad and will eventually cause the door to pop back open causing a safety hazard. They also said they have changed countless actuators on these vans. I feel there should be a recall on these to correct this issue.

The drivers side passenger door (slider) opens and shuts but must not be fully latching because you can hear the motor in the door trying to latch and it sounds like its continually trying to latch and just keeps going off when it's super hot out and it has now killed the battery in the van. When I was able to drive the van it would chime and say the door was open and continue sounding like it was trying to latch. We bought the van at the end of February so I have no idea if it ever happened to the previous owner.
