2010 Dodge Caravan Problems

I WAS DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 45-50 MPH AND ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AND IN THE NEXT SECOND THE CAR JUST LOST ALL POWER. NOTHING! I PULLED OVER AND IT STARTED ABOUT 5 MINUTES LATER. HAVING TO DRIVE AN HOUR BACK HOME ON THE HIGHWAY WAS SCARED AND MY FATHER BEING A DISABLED VET - THIS IS THE VEHICLE THAT IS USED.

THIS IS A 4.0 ENGINE, AND WILL DIE OUT EVERY TIME IN TRAFFIC, EVERY TIME (REGARDLESS OF OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE OR DAMPNESS). IT WILL RESTART, BUT CAN FEEL IT STILL WANTS TO CUT OUT, AS THE TACHOMETER BOUNCES AROUND TO 500 RPM, AND SOMETIMES ALMOST ZERO, THEN 'CATCHES ITSELF' TO A NORMAL IDLE. THIS IS ESPECIALLY CONCERNING BECAUSE I LIVE NEAR A CURVED ROAD THAT DROPS OFF INTO A RAVINE, AND FOR THIS REASON, MY WIFE WON'T DRIVE IT ANYMORE. THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED AT SPEEDS 10-40 MPH. IT DIES OUT (AGAIN REGARDLESS IF COLD OR WET OUTSIDE). I CAN RESTART THE VEHICLE, AND WON'T DIE AGAIN, UNTIL THE ENGINE GETS COLD AGAIN (USUALLY 3 HRS.). IT IS UNBELIEVABLE THAT ONCE IT RESTARTS, IT NEVER HAPPENS MULTIPLE TIMES IN SAME OCCURRENCE. SOMETHING IS TELLING IT TO SHUTDOWN, WHICH IS DANGEROUS. NO POWER STEERING AND BRAKES HAVE TO BE PUSHED HARD (NO POWER, AND IS WHY MY WIFE WON'T DRIVE IT). I HAD THIS DIAGNOSED AT M&W SERVICE CENTER (A HIGHLY RATED PLACE). BROOKFIELD DODGE WAS OVERBOOKED, AND I FELT I NEEDED TO GET IT ADDRESSED ASAP. I PAID THE DIAGNOSTICS FEE. THEY RECALIBRATED THE THROTTLE AND CLEANED THE FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM. THEY SAID THIS A GREAT RUNNING VEHICLE.THERE IS NOTHING LEFT TO DO. I ALREADY HAVE $370 INVESTED IN THIS PROBLEM, IT DIDN'T FIX IT. PRIOR TO THE ISSUE, THE TIMING BELT AND SPARKPLUGS WERE REPLACED. IT RAN GREAT FOR SEVERAL MONTHS AFTER THOSE COMPONENTS WERE DONE. I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM FOR THE LAST 4 WEEKS. I AM GOING TO HAVE TO TAKE THIS TO BROOKFIELD DODGE, AND PAY THE DIAGNOSTIC FEE AGAIN, AND HOPE THEY FIND THE PROBLEM. IT IS AMAZING TO SEE THAT THERE ARE ACTUALLY DOZENS OF COMPLAINTS ON-LINE JUST LIKE MINE, AND THEY ARE SAYING THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN FOUND. THIS IS NOT GOOD NEWS FOR A VEHICLE THAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE SAFE FOR THE FAMILY. IT SEEMS TO BE ENGINEERED TO SHUTDOWN, INSTEAD OF JUST NOT START, WHICH IS DANGEROUS, SINCE 10/25/2018.

MY STX GRAND CARAVAN STALLS WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WITHOUT ANY WARNING. NO TROUBLE LIGHTS COME ON EXCEPT THE TRACTION LIGHT. THE LIGHT GOES OFF AS SOON AS YOU RESTART THE VAN. USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN I LET OFF THE GAS PEDAL TO SLOW DOWN. NO ONE KNOWS HOW TO FIX IT !! HAS HAPPENED IN THE CITY BUT MOSTLY WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN I LET OFF THE GAS.

VEHICLE SHUTS OFF WHILE IN MOTION USUALLY WITHIN FIRST 10 MINUTES OF DRIVING. WE THOUGHT IT WAS DOING IT BECAUSE WE DID NOT WARM UP THE ENGINE ENOUGH IN WINTER BUT NOW IT HAPPENS IS WARMER WEATHER AS WELL. THE ENGINE JUST SHUTS OFF USUALLY WITHIN .25-2 MILES FROM THE START OF THE TRIP. THERE IS NO ENGINE CHECK LIGHT, AND NO ERROR IN LOG. THE CAR HAS ALREADY UNDERGONE THE IGNITION KEY RECALL REPAIR AND A 3 DAY DIAGNOSTIC AT A LOCAL DODGE DEALER IN SCHAUMBURG IL, WITHOUT THEM FINDING ANYTHING WRONG. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AS THE DRIVER LOOSES POWER STEERING, 2 TIMES WE ALMOST GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE THE CAR STALLED MID TURN. IT WILL STALL WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT OR TURNING. USUALLY OF WE LET THE CAR SIT AND WARMING UP FOR 15-20 MINUTES THE PROBLEM WILL NOT SHOW UP, BUT IF WE START THE CAR AND PUT IT IN DRIVE WITHIN 1 MINUTE IT WILL MOST LIKELY STALL DURING THE DRIVE. WHILE THE CAR IS STILL ROLLING STRAIGHT THE WE CAN PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND RESTART THE VEHICLE AND CONTINUE DRIVING BUT USUALLY WE HAVE TO MAKE A FULL STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TRAFFIC LANE BECAUSE THE WHEEL IS TOO HARD TO TURN TO PULL OVER. THERE IS MANY INSTANCES OF OTHER DODGE GRAND CARAVANS DOING THIS.

WHILE DRIVING ON A DRY ROAD, THE LIGHT ON THE DASH BOARD WENT ON TO INDICATE THE CAR WAS SLIDING... THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP, I HAD NO BRAKES, I HAD TO GLIDE TO A STOP. THIS HAPPENED 4 TIMES IN ONE DAY. I WAS ABLE TO GLIDE TO A STOP, SHUT THE VAN OFF, RESTART IT ONLY FOR IT TO HAPPEN AGAIN. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC WHO STATED IT WAS A COMPUTER CHIP ISSUE AND THAT I WOULD HAVE TO GO TO A DEALER TO GET IT FIXED FOR APPROX $1,800.00. I COULD'VE SERIOUSLY INJURED AND/OR KILLED MYSELF AND THOSE AROUND ME.

I HAVE OWNED MY DODGE CARAVAN SINCE APRIL 2016 AND HAVE NEEDED 3 EXTENSIVE BRAKE JOBS TOTALING OVER $3,000 WHICH INCLUDED NEW PADS, ROTORS AND CALIPERS. I HAVE READ ON OTHER SIGHTS I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS THIS PROBLEM WITH THE SAME VEHICLE. I AM ABOUT TO TAKE MY VEHICLE IN FOR THE FORTH TIME AND AM VERY FRUSTRATED WITH THIS PROBLEM. I DRIVE MY FOUR CHILDREN AROUND IN THIS VEHICLE AND NEED IT TO BE SAFE. THAT IS WHY I ORIGINALLY BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE. NO BRAKES ARE NOT SAFE.

ALL OF MY PROBLEMS STARTED ABOUT 30-45 DAYS AGO. I WAS DRIVIN ALONG AT 65 MPH AND LIGHTS STARTED LIGHTING UP ON MY DAS AND THEN STARTED FLICKERING. NOT LONG AFTER THAT THE DASH WOULD LIGHT UP AND THE ALL OF A SUDDEN DIE AND HAVE NO POWER AT ALL. EVERYTHING STOPPED WORKING, RADIO, CLOCK, SPPEDOMETER, ETC. SINCE THEN THE VAN HAS BEEN BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE FIRST DIAGNOSIS WAS A BRAKE SWITH RELAY AND THEY SAID THAT SHOULD FIX IT. WELL THE SAME PROBLEMS OCCURED A FEW MORE TIMES WITH NO COMMON DENOMINATOR AS TO WHY IT WAS NOT RUNNING. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE CHRYSLER DEALER AND THEY UNPLUGGED THE TIPM (TOTAL INTEGRATED POWER MODULE). THEY SAID THAT CLEARED ALL CODES AND A RESET FIXES THE PROBLEM SOME TIMES. I PICKED IT UP THE NEXT AND EVERYTHING WAS FOR MY TRIP TO ST. LOUIS AND BACK. I GOT IN THE VAN LATER THAT EVENING AND WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE DRIVEWAY THE ENGINE SHUT OFF AND THE VAN LOST ALL POWER. I ALMOST TOO OUT MY FENCE WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I PUT IT IN PARK AND THE KEY WOULDN'T COME OUT. AFTER A LITTLE WHILE THE KEY CAME OUT ANBD THE VAN FINALLY STARTED. I CALLED THE TOW TRUCK AND HAD IT HAULED DIRECTLY TO THE DEALER. AFTER A FEW DAYS THE DETERMINED IT WAS HE TIPM AND THE BILL WAS APP. $1000.00. I HAVE A CASE OPENED WITH CHRYSLER (CASE #: 31057897) WITH THERESA. AFTER GOOGLING THE TIPM I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH CARAVANS, TOWN & COUNTRY'S, DODGE RAMS, DURANGOS AND SOME JEEP MODELS. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM AND NEEDS TO RECTIFIED BY CHRSLER.ALL OF THESE INCIDENTS HAVE OCCURED IN VARIOUS LOCATION (PAKKING LOTS, DRIVEWAY, RURAL HIGHWAYS WITH NO SHOULDER, STOP LIGHTS AND STOP SIGNS.)

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 DODGE CARAVAN. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN IN FOR A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE AT AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, THE TECHNICIAN NOTICED THAT THE FUSE BLOCK (TIPM) FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. IN ADDITION, WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE AIR BAG LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,791.

2010 DODGE CARAVAN. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE TIRE DEFLATED SUDDENLY WHILE DRIVING AND WITHOUT WARNING. *SMD THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO FIND ANY PUNCTURES, GASHES OR OTHER REASONS WHY THE TIRE WOULD HAVE DEFLATED SUDDENLY. HE CONCLUDED THAT THE NUT ON THE VALVE STEM HAD CORRODED, CRACKED OFF AND THE SEAL BETWEEN THE STEM AND THE TIRE BECAME UN-SEATED CAUSING THE MASSIVE LOSS IN AIR PRESSURE. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION, IT APPEARED THAT THE OTHER TIRES HAD CRACKED OR WERE MISSING NUTS ON THEIR VALVE STEMS AND WERE IN DANGED OF THE SAME CATASTROPHIC FAILURE. *JB

WHILE DRIVING ON I-90 TPMS INDICATOR CAME ON. WITHIN SECONDS RIGHT REAR TIRE WAS FLAT, WHEN I LOOKED AT THE WHEEL I SAW THE VALVE STEM WAS GONE. THERE WAS NO OTHER DAMAGE TO TIRE. *TR

BOUGHT THE VAN FROM COOKS VOLKSWAGEN ON MAY 7TH, 2018. IN THE FIRST 3 MTHS OF ME OWNING IT I HAD TO GET 2 MOTOR MOUNTS AND A STARTER PUT IN. THEN FROM THAT POINT IT WAS ALL DOWN HILL!

HEADLIGHTS GO OUT UNEXPECTEDLY, IT HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING AND WHILE STANDING STILL. FOG LIGHTS AND RUNNING LIGHTS WORK BUT HEADLIGHTS DO NOT. IF THEY ARE WORKING AND YOU TURN ON THE BRIGHTS THEY GO OUT AND THEY GO ON AND OFF BY THEMSELVES.

WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT ON A BACK ROAD THE HEADLIGHTS SUDDENLY SHUT OFF EVER THING ELSE WAS FINE LUCKLY I HAD MY FOG LIGHTS ON BECAUSE IT WAS A DARK ROAD . I COULD NOT GET THE HIGH OR LOW BEAMS TO WORK SO DROVE HOME WITH JUST THE FOG LIGHTS .

VALVE STEM LOCK NUT CORROSION CAUSED STEM TO FALL INSIDE TIRE. CAUSED INSTANT FLAT AT 65 MPH. ALMOST LOST CONTROL. AGAIN TODAY ANOTHER STEM FELL INSIDE TIRE. GOING SLOWER 35 MPH. BOTH TIMES IT ALSO DESTROYED TIRES.

ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH LIGHT UP, THE WIPERS START AND CAN'T BE STOPPED, ALL THE WINDOWS WON'T GO UP OR DOWN, THE DOOR LOCKS WON'T WORK AND WORST OF ALL THE GAS GAUGE, SPEEDOMETER, AND OTHER DASH INDICATORS GO DEAD SHOWING NO ACTION. THIS ALL HAPPENS UNANNOUNCED AT ANY TIME DRIVING OR STILL. IT CAN HAPPEN WITH JUST TURNING THE KEY ON TO START THE CAR.THE MOST RECENT TIME, 2/10/16 THE DEALER REPAIR SAID THERE WERE A TOTAL OF 24 DIFFERENT CODES SAVED THAT DID CONFLICT WITH EACH OTHER.

WHILE DRIVING IN RAIN STORM WITH CRUISE CONTROL,WIPERS,LIGHTS,AND RADIO ON POWER TO CONTROLS WOULD TURN OFF. ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING AND SYSTEMS CAME BACK ON AFTER TURNING OFF RADIO, LIGHTS FOR AWHILE.

UPON STARTING THE DODGE CARAVAN SE 2010 I CLOSED BOTH POWER PASSENGER DOORS WITH MY CHILDREN IN SAFETY BELTS, UPON ENTERING THE DRIVERS SIDE MY CHILD ASKED ME TO TURN ON THE OVERHEAD LIGHTS SO THAT SHE COULD FIND SOMETHING THAT DROPPED ON THE FLOOR WITH THE DRIVERS DOOR OPENED, AND THE VEHICLE RUNNING I TURNED ON THE OVERHEAD LIGHTS ONLY TO HAVE BOTH POWER PASSENGER DOORS OPEN ON THEIR OWN. I WAS ABLE TO REPLICATE THIS ERROR A NUMBER OF TIMES UNDER SIMILAR CONDITIONS, AND AM UNABLE TO PIN POINT A CAUSE. THIS COULD BE A LARGE SAFETY DEFECT. WHAT IF THIS WAS TO HAPPEN WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS ? THIS ISSUE COULD CAUSE A MINOR PASSENGER TO BE EJECTED FROM THE VEHICLE. I ASK FOR A RECALL / INVESTIGATION. *TR

MY 2010 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN STALLS 5 TO 10 TIMES PER WEEK. IT STALLS AT ANY SPEED AND AT ANY TIME (WARM OR COLD). SINCE THE DODGE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT FIND THE ISSUE (HATS OFF TO THEIR INEPTITUDE), AFTER FURTHER RESEARCH, I LEARNED THE ISSUE IS DUE TO FAILURE OF THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE (TIPM) AND AFFECTS OTHER DODGE/CHRYSLER PRODUCTS . SEE NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: DP14004. HOWEVER, NHTSA STANCE ON THIS IS 'EXCEPT INSOFAR AS THE PETITIONER'S CONTENTIONS RELATE TO THE DEFECT CONDITION ADDRESSED BY THE CHRYSLER RECALLS, THE FACTUAL BASES OF THE PETITIONER'S CONTENTIONS THAT ANY FURTHER INVESTIGATION IS NECESSARY ARE UNSUPPORTED. IN OUR VIEW, ADDITIONAL INVESTIGATION IS UNLIKELY TO RESULT IN A FINDING THAT A DEFECT RELATED TO MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY EXISTS OR A NHTSA ORDER FOR THE NOTIFICATION AND REMEDY OF A SAFETY-RELATED DEFECT AS ALLEGED BY THE PETITIONER AT THE CONCLUSION OF THE REQUESTED INVESTIGATION. THEREFORE, IN VIEW OF THE NEED TO ALLOCATE AND PRIORITIZE NHTSA'S LIMITED RESOURCES TO BEST ACCOMPLISH THE AGENCY'S SAFETY MISSION, THE PETITION IS DENIED'. THIS WILL ONLY BE RESOLVED WHEN SOMEONE DIES OR THE NHTSA TAKES OUR 'CONTENTIONS' SERIOUSLY.

I RENTED A DODGE GRAND CARAVAN FROM NATIONAL CAR RENTAL AT THE CHARLESTON, SC AIRPORT ON JULY 14, 2010. THAT EVENING THE VAN SLIPPED INTO REVERSE WHEN I WAS EXITING THE VEHICLE. IT KNOCKED ME DOWN AND RAN OVER MY LEFT LEG. I SUFFERED SCRAPES AND BRUISES ALL OVER MY BODY AND A BONE CONTUSION ON MY LEFT KNEE AND AM NOW RECOVERING. THE SAFETY OF THE DASH MOUNTED GEAR SHIFT IN THIS VEHICLE SHOULD BE EXAMINED BY THE MANUFACTURER. IT SHOULD ALSO BE QUESTIONED BY ANY OTHER VEHICLE OPERATOR OR PROVIDER. *TR
