Five problems related to car will not start have been reported for the 2009 Dodge Caravan. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
My Dodge Caravan just stalls while driving. It has happened about 5 times this past year. The engine cuts off and I have to pull over and restart. It has only happened while driving between 20-40 miles per hour. It has not happened on the highway I had the ignition switch replaced so I know it is not that. Sometimes when my car will not start I have to put it in neutral and it starts. Our mechanic cannot find anything wrong but did see the engine failure while running a diagnostic.
I have put in 3 complaints since October and have sent a complaint to Chrysler. My van has shut down completely 15 times since October. The issues with this van actually started in the summer of 2012, when we were stranded because the vehicle would not start. I had everything checked out, battery replaced. No one could find anything wrong, yet at times, it would not start right away. Now the van just turns off while driving. This is a major safety issue for me and my family, yet Chrysler out me to a higher priority and still has not called me in to fix the defect. While this van has other issues as well, this is the most important thing that needs to be addressed by Chrysler. Can anyone help me get this taking care of? I suggested they give me a rental until this is resolved. That was not even considered. I asked if it was then ok with their organization if an entire family is injured or even killed in an accident because of this defect. Only, one response stating we were priority, but never called yet.
I have been having issues with the wireless control module for quite sometime. It came to a head this past Tuesday 3/24 when my vehicle would not start--had to have vehicle towed twice due to issues with control module. This experience the past year has been frustrating. Doors locked by themselves when the car is shut off; there are times when the windows would come down by themselves due to issues with control module. I am unable to use my key even after changing the battery.
Engine wouldn't start, key kept coming up bad key, tried to get new key and they said it's the win module. I have heard of many other win modules going bad in the same van. Wondering why this hasn't been recalled when the 2010 vans win modules have been replaced.
