My van cuts off while driving. Its very dangerous. I've almost been been rear ended a few times. I've had the ignation changed as part of the recall but my van has been cutting off everyday now. This happens more when you first start driving the car. About 2 minutes after the van has been started to drive.
I received a recall notice for my 2008 Dodge Caravan. "the wireless ignition node (win) on your vehicle may have unintentional movement of the frequency operated button ignition key (fobik) from the "on" to the "accessory" position while driving. This could cause unintended engine shut off and increase the risk of a crash. " over the past month, I have contacted 2 separate dealers as well as Chrysler. There are no parts available for this recall. And there is no projection when these parts will be available. How can there be a recall notice and no parts available? when will these parts be available? is there a penalty that can be inflicted on Chrysler for being unable to rectify this recall?.
I had the Dodge dealer order parts for recall r03 on June 15, 2015. I called the dealer 3 times and no parts are available. I call Chrysler and got no answer. How can I get this recall done.
Received l25 recall notice for my 2008 Dodge Caravan (wireless ignition node ~ unintentional movement) in early June. Placed 3 calls to local Dodge dealership and they displayed no sense of urgency whatsoever to address this issue. It is clear that, while they boast an excellent sales force, they are not interested in addressing low-yielding recall issues. My last two calls were met with, "OH, your part isn't in yet. We'll give you a call when it arrives. " this goes against the spirit of what is outlined on the recall notice, where the defect is to be remedied in a timely fashion. My pontiac grand am had a similar recall (14350) and it was addressed same day at a local dealership (alan webb Chevrolet of vancouver). Information for dealership to which this complaint is assigned: dick hannah Dodge 3517 ne auto mall dr, vancouver, wa 98662 · (360) 944-3276.

What is the status of the l25 recall. Part is still not available. What is taking so long?.
This issue has happen several times as my family is driving along,the engine just dies for no apparent reason. This has happened several time and when the engine dies you loose all power, steering,abs assist with the brakes and it is very hard to turn. This issue ended the other day when my wife was going to school and the engine died on a off ramp on interstate 10 in mississippi. When she got it stopped it restarted but would not move in drive. When she put the van in drive it would die, she put the van in reverse and it backed up fine. Got it off the off-ramp along the side of the road called a tow service and had it towed to a local garage. The transmission had veiled related to the stalling problem that has been reported several times and was written in a news paper. This is a major problem that Dodge has with these van and is related to the failure of the transmission. This issue needs to be fixed by Dodge not the consumer. The power train warranty which was issued by Dodge as long as you are the original owner should cover this issue but Dodge says it does not. Please assist with this issue as the recall should be issued on these transmissions.
We received notice of a recall approx 6-7 months ago. The letter said we'd be getting a follow up notice. After waiting for a month, we contacted the dealer in yakima, wa and were told we'd be contacted when they had the replacement part. We have never heard another word about this recall! I think we've waited long enough. . Not to mention the jepordy of the defective part.
The car starts then stalls, when driving on 7/6/14 o. 3 separate occasions it stalled on interstate 390 south. Causing complete power failure.
I was sent a recall notice and I called the Chrysler CO and the person I talked to said as soon as the part came in they would e-mail me. I have not recieved one and this was back in June and I did not get one yet.
I have had my Dodge 2008 Caravan for sometime. Was originally taken for repairs to the sliding door recall.
Originally had taken car in for recall. The recall was for both doors. The dealer had delivered the car and told me I would be contacted for repair on the passenger door once the parts were in stock. After months of waiting I finally contacted them and was told that the parts were in stock. I made the appointment and when I was set to drop off the van I was told that I was going to be charged because it has been put in as complete in the dealers records but showed parts not installed. I was told to contact Dodge and left the van there overnight. The next day I spent a lot of time on the phone to get the runaround with Dodge. I picked up the car and didn't have the repair done. My family has used the van ever since. I have always put off repairing it because it was a recall that broke down as described in the recall verbatim and is a hazard for multiple reasons and I would blame Dodge directly if anything were to happen. I have contacted them several times through out the last few years trying to rectify this egregious situation. I was told that the records indicate only one side was repaired however the recall still to this day shows complete. I take pride in buying and maintaining an �american made� product and would have fixed this several times over had it not been for principle. Dodge does not seem to be concerned for a customer who is a family man. I protect my family with my own life. It is difficult to only use one door when parking on a busy street with 2-5 children who are forced to get out onto a busy street if that is the only option. It can be very risky. Even picking them up from school they are made to walk to the drivers side of the car even thou the pick up side is on the passenger. Secondly my main issue is a short while driving. Protruding wires could be pinched if the door is used which could lead to a fire or fault in the door functionality.
While driving approximately 40 mph the van hit a small pothole and lost total power. After steering to the side of the road I determine the ignition key was now in the accessory position. The same issue occurred multiple times over the course of the 7 years I owned the vehicle to the point that when my teenage sons learned to drive I coached them on what to do when the car turned off while driving.
This has been a continuing problem since I bought car, car just dies while you are driving and you have nothing but until you get car stopped. Then it will restart and drive fine. It happens at all speeds but mostly on the interstates. The dealer did replace the ignition switch while under warranty but not until I went thru 3rd tier myself. It has started again and the dealer can not duplicate it so they return it with nothing done. I even let them keep it 3 days while they put it through their email 3rd tier system. Only answer back was there are no notices about it and the last report I got back was nothing done. It happens at all speeds from 65 down to 5 when making a turn at a red light. This is dangerous and I keep fighting them and documenting it every time I take them in. There doesn't seem to be a way for me to complain to Chrysler myself so I am hoping that this will start. I also goggled Dodge Caravans stalling and there are lots listed.
