| Electronic Stability Control 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.
"takata recall" 2010 Dodge grand Caravan 4. 0 sxt . Power shutting down while driving on a city street . Lights flashing on and off in the dash. No check engine lights coming on. No codes showing when diagnosed. Has happened 3 times in the last week.
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.
My car has been having intermittent stalling/ no starting issues since 9/16/14. I have replaced the battery, spark plugs, crank shaft sensor, wyn module. I have had my mechanic look it + I have taken it into the Dodge dealer 2 times and they have not been able to figure out why it keeps stalling/ not starting. I have tried contacting the Dodge corporate office to see if they could help but so far I have not been able to speak to a representative. My car has stopped completely (losing steering/power) a lot of times, of which 2 times were on the freeway going 50 + miles w/ kids in my car. This is a huge safety issue!!!! luckily I was able to pull off the road and restart my car before my kids and I were hit. 9/16/14- serviced car for intermittent no start 6/22/15 did not start for several times 7/9/15 serviced car for intermittent no start 8/19/15 serviced car for intermittent no start- replaced battery xx- going into parking lot 20 mph car cut off.

While driving at 55 mph, my van all of a sudden turned off. I lost all power steering and struggled to get the van off the road. Once I got it off the road, I was able to start the vehicle and drove about 2 miles. The vehicle died a second time as I was getting ready to turn onto the street in which I live. My speed at that time was around 20 mph. I pulled into the carwash, where I was able to start the vehicle again, and then drove home. I went aprox. 1 mile that time. We parked the van and as my husband was getting out of the driver side, he strongly smelled something electrical burning. I went over to the driver side and smelled the same smell. The very next day I left in my van around noon and within a quarter of mile my van died four times. I turned around and drove a quarter of a mile back, with the van dying three more times. I finally made it home and informed the dealership of the problem. Within 2 hours they brought me a rental. It has been exactly two weeks that I have been without my van and they are unable to fix it as of now. I can't help but believe that my van is having the exact same issues as the other recalled 2010 Dodge Caravans. I have the exact same testimonies as some of the other people that actually have a recall on their Dodge Caravan. Please help! this vehicle was just bought on 11-17-2014 thanks in advance.
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.
