general problems of the 2006 Dodge Caravan

The vehicle is turning off completely ir dying when driving. This is happening multiple times. I have to coast safely to pull over, can barely steer to get off the road. This happened 3 times on the way to town. This is very dangerous, I was lucky that I was able to pull over. If I was on express way I would have been in a crash. I don't feel safe driving the car with it cutting off intermittently without any warning.

3 yrs ago, fire in engine compartment while I was driving. Could not open doors windows or engine hood. I did have window down when this occurred. Just last week a woman in a car (type not known-) in spokane was trapped and had to be rescued when her car caught fire and she couldn't open door or window. She was lucky a cop busted a window and dragged her out. This is a spooky thing if all cars are like that in a fire. Car had died in street. Mine ignited at stop light. You have a very hidden problems in these plastic cars. If mine had happened a day later then there could have been a loss of seven young children that were going on a trip along with my daughter who was driving. Scary and no one seems concerened.

I began having trouble with my right front window not rolling down. Then head lights began to flash on and off. I disconnected the battery first negative then positive removed ecm and cleaned all pins on ecm and the socket it plugs into using electronic parts cleaner. I waited for the socket and pins to dry before replacing the ecm and reconnecting the power. Problem resolved itself for a while. Now all problems came back and the battery light came on. Replaced the battery and alternator. The problem went away for a week now all problems came back and vehicle is unable to be driven. I believe there is a problem with the ecm's made for this vehicle. There are many reports of people having the same issues and no recalls. I believe that the ecm is causing many problems since all 3 issues are controlled by the ecm unit.

Car sometimes stalls once or twice within a few minutes of filling up gas tank, especially in cold weather. This started about 1 year ago and happens suddenly and sometimes in traffic. After driving further the car is ok until next fill-up. A web site claims we must replace the entire gas tank and other equipment. . Read more...

Have had '06 grand sxt to dealer twice about sliding doors on both pass/drive side. In trying to close door using either push button/remote/visor button door will clunk and door motor runs for 2~3 seconds and door does not move. Dealer has replaced door motors twice. . . I think this is becoming close to being a lemon ! that was one of the buying points of this model was electric doors :((((( been very dissatisfied thus far.
