Upon starting the Dodge Caravan se 2010 I closed both power passenger doors with my children in safety belts, upon entering the drivers side my child asked me to turn on the overhead lights so that she could find something that dropped on the floor with the drivers door opened, and the vehicle running I turned on the overhead lights only to have both power passenger doors open on their own. I was able to replicate this error a number of times under similar conditions, and am unable to pin point a cause. This could be a large safety defect. What if this was to happen while traveling at highway speeds ? this issue could cause a minor passenger to be ejected from the vehicle. I ask for a recall / investigation.

While driving about 70 miles per hour on the interstate, the engine shut down without warning. I was able to steer the van off the road. I had no trouble restarting the vehicle. The vehicle continued to shut down periodically over the next month or so. I took it to the dealer for repair. The said that they had identified the problem and fixed it. The vehicle continued to shut down and it was making me and my family very nervous, because we had no idea when it would just "stop". It would make a short click sound, then "stop". I took it back to the dealer, and this time, they could not find anything wrong. I called and reported the problem to the headquarters, and they referred me back to the local dealer. They said that they could not find the problem and that I would need to bring it back and leave it. I had no problem with leaving it, but by this time, I was fearful for my life and had lost confidence in the dealership to repair it.

The contact owns a 2010 Dodge grand Caravan. The contact stated that while engaged in park, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was towed to the dealer for diagnosis where it was advised to the contact that the wind module needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired and the manufacturer was notified. The approximated failure mileage was 64,000.

While driving in snow in st louis mo there was smoke started to come from the window swicth for the rear windows we have 4 of the 2010 Dodge Caravan in our fleet and 2 of them have now have smoked or got on fire due to the switch for the window I have looked at the swicth and the switch is melted and the wires are melted smoke pore out from all points on the door on one van and the orthe van that was fixed a few months ago did it again and this time fire broke out on the door.

First incident was may of 2012 when drive at I lost power to window wipers, turn signals ,windows, door locks and radio. I filed a complaint with the NHTSA on 09/28/2012 no. 10490319. Since then the dealer replaced the control module with replacement fix on 01/03/2013 per your recall notice. The new module is now having the same issue as the old design.

Headlights would not come on after dark. Car had to be towed. This has happened on numerous occasions, where the headlights do come on then go off. Very unsafe!! it was returned to the dealer after the first incident to fix, but it has happened again repeatedly. Now we have to take it back to the dealer for a $700 fix. Unsat!!.

While driving 40 miles an hour on a city highway a warning beep occurred and the elc & esp lights came on. The speed dropped to 10 miles per hour, I drove the back ways home at no more than 10 miles per hour. Suddenly it kicked back in and drove normally. Upon turning it off and back on the lights are off and seems to be running properly. Having it towed to Dodge dealership in the morning to have it checked out.

Since we had the electrical recall 11v139000. We have 3 problems since the recall. . First. The radio would not work and not turn off. It was just stuck on the "accept display. The dealer fixed that and said that it was related to the recall. This past week we had two failures. The first failure, the wipers would not turn off, heated seats did not work, turn signals didn't work and the steering wheel controls didn't respond. The dealer fixed that and said that there was moisture in the heated seats element. Last night, the radio and the steering wheel controls stopped responding we have to bring the van in again today. Two malfunctions in less than a week not good.

The contact owns a 2010 Dodge Caravan. The contact stated that the rear driver and passenger side sliding doors opened independently. The failure occurred on numerous occasions. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 500.

I have received a recall notice 3 times. I have contacted the dealer nemours times trying to resolve the issue. They are telling me that parts are not available. Also I have replaced the breaks 4 times the first time was at 17,659 miles. I also had to replace the upper cooling lines. I just noticed that the lower cooling pipe is rusting very bad to the point of failure. We had trouble with the electronics since the purchase of the van. We purchased the van brand new. The doors were locking by there self the heating/cooling controls had to be replaced. I would like to resolve these issues.

The win module has been replaced on four different occasions. My vehicle stalled without warning each time. In one instance I was in the fast lane on the freeway! I received a recall notice after the second incident. On seven (7), occasions I have had to replace the brakes and/or rotors. These are very serious issues. Updated 11/04/13.

While driving (not in idle or stopped) all of the safety lights on the dash board turn on and about 10 seconds later the car shuts off and the power steering locks. The vehicle can be switched to park and will start up again. This has happened at least five times already. I have taken the van to the dealership twice and they are unable to find anything wrong. Twice this has happened while in traffic luckily no one has rear ended me.

I have a 2010 Dodge Caravan VIN #[xxx] that has some sort of electrical problem which causes the vehicle to stop while running at any speed. The van just goes dead, no power steering, nothing - making this a very dangerous situation. The problem has occurred on three occasions now and has been reported to Dodge - case #. The vehicle was brought to two separate dealerships and each time the issue was the same. No computer code means no problem. Please look into this matter. . . .
