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.

Van engine shut off while driving at 40mph on the highway. This is not the first time the can has shut off. The van has shut off on numerous occasions, most of the time it is within a few hundred yards of the starting point. Thus time the can was warm and just quit leaving my family and I without power bakes our steering. Van was shifted to neutral while coasting at 40 mph on the highway and restarted.

Oct 19, 2017 I still hadn't been contacted from the dealership in regards to the oct 18th complaint number 11034442 oct 19th 2017 I was backing up in my long driveway, and I was accelerating in reverse the engine died. The dealership paid for a rental from Friday to Monday. Monday at 11:50 the dealership called to say to return the rental and pick up my van. When I asked if they were able to fix my van I was told, �no. We were not able to duplicate the problem. But we did discover that your transmission fluid was a little low, and that could be why the engine shut off. � I reply, �so you are telling me that the engine shut off� �in motion� because the transmission fluid was low, and no lights showed up on my dash?� what???.

We bought a 2016 Dodge Caravan and had a "remote" start installed through the dealership. The van would shut off when the remote start was used, sometimes. When it shut off in neutral, before I could even make it into the van, the electrical acted like it was disconnected from the battery, (the clock would be flashing, radio stations un-programmed, airbag light on. ) the dealership had our van for 2 weeks (no rental), and they never could duplicate or fix the problem. We picked up our van and did not receive paperwork. @three months later, the van died again. But this time while in drive-at a complete stop, while at a drive thru bank atm. When it shut off, the electrical acted like it was disconnected from the battery, (the clock would be flashing, radio stations un-programmed, airbag light on-same as before) I took the van to the dealership. They estimated it would take 3 days to repair and gave me a rental. In less than one day they did a computer "update. " on my way home from picking up the "repaired" van, it shut off again, this time in drive-at a complete stop, in a fast food drive thru. I took it back on the same day, and was given another rental. This was in October. (paperwork states: oct 11 and oct 13. ) Friday oct 13 I received a call from the dealership to bring back the rental. When I asked if my van was fixed I was told, �no, but the dealership isn't going to pay for the car rental anymore. � the dealership opened a star case from corporate and were told to close the case, even though nothing was fixed. I returned the rental and picked up my van. Oct 18, my van shut off again, while at a complete stop in reverse. I am waiting to hear back from the dealership, to see if they can fix this problem-again.

While driving 55mph on i75 in cincinnati,OH, the engine suddenly shut off. While attempting to get the vehicle to the right side of the highway the steering wheel and the brakes could only be moved with great effort. The vehicle must be in the parked gear shift position before it can be restarted thus the necessity to get to the side of the highway so as to avoid a rear end collision. When getting to the side of the road the steering feels like it is locked. This sudden engine shut off while driving has occured several times before over the last approx. 2 1/2 yrs. The dealer does not know how to fix the sudden engine shut off problem. This leaves me with a vehicle that appears to be too dangerous to drive. I have requested the vehicle manufacturer to advise me as to how the vehicle can be safely driven. And also to advise me if the air bags will function normally after sudden engine shut off.

Van had a sudden shake, than engine dies,(going at slow speed) engine light stays on, changed oil, went to auto shop, used a gas cleaner, engine light went out, but came back on a few weeks later, now engine stalls, or light comes back on often, most of my driving is in town or dropping/picking up off kids at school engine shut off 3-21-13 while driving 30-35 ms, and thankfully was able to get off road without accident. Had it checked and 1 part would be $80 to 125. 00 dollars. Warrenty of course is expired, any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.

Last year while driving my van, it stalled or turned off completely while driving. My power steering everything went dead. I was able to pull into the nearest gas station and place in park and restart the engine. Since that initial incident last year, it continues to happen. The most recent I was driving in the baltimore inner harbor tunnel when it shut down. On a few occasions I was almost rear ended. It doesn't matter what speed, the vehicle just turns off in the middle of driving. The dealer keeps telling me they can't find a problem. There are numerous complaints about this and also numerous accidents reported due to this. It saddens me that my self and my children could die in an accident due to Dodge neglecting to recall these vehicles.

While driving engine shut down and I did not know it until I realized I did not have power steering or brakes, while car still rolling I restarted vehicle. I received letter notifying me on a recall regarding this problem. I brought car in for repair. July 19 I brought my car in for oil change and told dealer that after recall repair my key gets stuck in ignition and cant turn car off unless I put vehicle in drive again and restart car and again try to shut off. Dealer said they needed to check the recall and possibly replace again. They said they would inspect win module and reposition for more key support. August 15, 2012 vehicle stalled again while driving. This is getting dangerous since I have 3 toddlers in car with me at all times - the reason for purchasing a Mini van. Dealer states they know I have been there several times for same concern but found no stored or active codes. They stated it may have to do with needing a software update and updated to latest level. Oct 22,2012 brought vehicle in again for 4th time with vehicle stalling while driving. Dealer decided they would keep my vehicle and gave me a loaner to drive home. The stated they needed to duplicate in order to fix. After driving 237 miles (warranty over in 6k miles) and contacting Chrysler on how to handle problem, they re-installed the safety recall again. The dealer keeps doing the same recall over and over with no resolution to this very scary stalling problem. Now Dec, my key again did not come out of ignition unless I restarted vehicle. Don't know where to turn for further assistance with ganley Dodge.
