general problems of the 2010 Dodge Caravan

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.

Takata recall. I was taking my children to school and the steering and breaking system completely locked up on me almost causing us to crash into a tree. I was able to push in the emergency break and get the car out of drive. I had no control over the steering nor the regular break. The car was in motion on a city street when the incident occurred.

Traveling at 55mph humming /growling noise from rear. Pulled over noise stopped both rear wheels very hot fronts warm but could touch drove car noise returned 5days later same issue with heat. Both times had been traveling for 1/2hour or more at speed. Car would roll freely no warning lights.

While driving engine shut down and I did not know it until I realized I did not have power steering or brakes, while car still rolling I restarted vehicle. I received letter notifying me on a recall regarding this problem. I brought car in for repair. July 19 I brought my car in for oil change and told dealer that after recall repair my key gets stuck in ignition and cant turn car off unless I put vehicle in drive again and restart car and again try to shut off. Dealer said they needed to check the recall and possibly replace again. They said they would inspect win module and reposition for more key support. August 15, 2012 vehicle stalled again while driving. This is getting dangerous since I have 3 toddlers in car with me at all times - the reason for purchasing a Mini van. Dealer states they know I have been there several times for same concern but found no stored or active codes. They stated it may have to do with needing a software update and updated to latest level. Oct 22,2012 brought vehicle in again for 4th time with vehicle stalling while driving. Dealer decided they would keep my vehicle and gave me a loaner to drive home. The stated they needed to duplicate in order to fix. After driving 237 miles (warranty over in 6k miles) and contacting Chrysler on how to handle problem, they re-installed the safety recall again. The dealer keeps doing the same recall over and over with no resolution to this very scary stalling problem. Now Dec, my key again did not come out of ignition unless I restarted vehicle. Don't know where to turn for further assistance with ganley Dodge.

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.

I complained of pulsating brakes and grinding on my brakes. Took vehicle to dealership repeated times. Was told it was brake dust. Ended up being warped rotors. Have had both the front and rear rotors replaced multiple times. Within 13 months. Rotors need to be replaced again. Dodge has admitted poor design. Ending up replacing rotors every 6 months. Had a 2008 Dodge Caravan with same problem. ## VIN failed ## Dodge grand Caravan 2010 ##.

The contact owns a 2010 Dodge Caravan. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken for a routine brake change. Less than a month later while driving 20 mph, the brakes needed to be replaced again. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the contact was advised that he needed to replace the brakes and the rotors. The vehicle was repaired but the failure recurred less than a month later. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 21,414 and the current mileage 30,756.

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.

When the vehicle had only 12000 miles my front tires were completely bare (like racing slicks). Was taken to 2 dealerships and they looked at the van and found nothing wrong that would cause the tire wear (alignment was fine). I fought and fought with Chrysler to pay for them, which they finally did about 3 weeks after the problem was addressed. Now my vehicle has 15000 miles and while driving all you can hear is noises (almost like road noise but its from the front end). Most likely, wheel barings, ball joint, tie rods etc. On 10/21/11, while pulling out of my driveway low and behold what do you here, nothing but the sound of griding brakes. No sign of brake having a issues the day before when driven. This particular van that I purchased brand new (with 2 miles on it) clearly is a lemon and has faulty parts or something majorly wrong with it. None of these parts of the vehicle should be going at this amout of miles. As always, Chrysler and its' dealers say there is nothing wrong with the it.
