The vehicle is turning off completely ir dying when driving. This is happening multiple times. I have to coast safely to pull over, can barely steer to get off the road. This happened 3 times on the way to town. This is very dangerous, I was lucky that I was able to pull over. If I was on express way I would have been in a crash. I don't feel safe driving the car with it cutting off intermittently without any warning.

We have a 2016 Dodge grand Caravan that has been diagnosed by a mechanic to need a rear ac evaporator installed at a cost of over $1000. 00. This is unacceptable as we were told it is a known mopar problem. As the head of household for a family of five, I don't know where to find this amount of money for the repair. This van was purchased to accommodate our 17 year old son with duchennes muscular dystrophy. He cannot ride in this vehicle with the amount of heat summer brings. We don't know what to do. . .

Driver side rear door lock , want open.

Bought the car used a year ago. It has 57,578 miles on speedometer. Driver side sliding door locked shut, will not open from inside, outside or remotely. Just drove in driveway and parked and it will not open. Five minutes before it opened and closed fine as we had been shopping.

Drivers side sliding door wont unlock and wont open. Huge safety issue.

2012 Dodge grand Caravan stops running suddenly while driving. On several occasions over the past week the vehicle will just cut off while driving. So far this has only happened on city streets and not on the highway. On a least one occasion I noticed that I bumped the key. Maybe an ignition problem? this is very dangerous as it happens without warning.

Vehicle shuts off while in motion usually within first 10 minutes of driving. We thought it was doing it because we did not warm up the engine enough in winter but now it happens is warmer weather as well. The engine just shuts off usually within . 25-2 miles from the start of the trip. There is no engine check light, and no error in log. The car has already undergone the ignition key recall repair and a 3 day diagnostic at a local Dodge dealer in schaumburg IL, without them finding anything wrong. This is very dangerous as the driver looses power steering, 2 times we almost got into an accident because the car stalled mid turn. It will stall while driving straight or turning. Usually of we let the car sit and warming up for 15-20 minutes the problem will not show up, but if we start the car and put it in drive within 1 minute it will most likely stall during the drive. While the car is still rolling straight the we can put the car in neutral and restart the vehicle and continue driving but usually we have to make a full stop in the middle of the traffic lane because the wheel is too hard to turn to pull over. There is many instances of other Dodge grand Caravans doing this.

I was sitting in traffic waiting for the red light to turn green. My right foot slipped off the brake and the van immediately lunged forward. I stepped on the brake ASAP, but the car sitting in front of me was hit in the rear. I have no idea why this rental vehicle lunged forward quickly for no reason. I researched other incidents with this same make and model vehicle and found lots of incidents that were very similar. Some surged in speed for no reason and some lunged forward for no reason; as well as many other scenario's that were similar. Some say it relates to a problem with the tipm and fuel pump and other reasons were cited.

Oct 19, 2017 I still hadn't been contacted from the dealership in regards to the oct 18th complaint number 11034442 oct 19th 2017 I was backing up in my long driveway, and I was accelerating in reverse the engine died. The dealership paid for a rental from Friday to Monday. Monday at 11:50 the dealership called to say to return the rental and pick up my van. When I asked if they were able to fix my van I was told, �no. We were not able to duplicate the problem. But we did discover that your transmission fluid was a little low, and that could be why the engine shut off. � I reply, �so you are telling me that the engine shut off� �in motion� because the transmission fluid was low, and no lights showed up on my dash?� what???.

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.

My key just turned to the acc postion while I was driving lost my power stearing and brakes. It happened twice now first time I thought it was just a fluke but when it happened again and a car hit into the back off me I knew something wasn't right. I was driving about 25mph there is about 85000 miles on the van. I only own it for about 3 months. I google it to see what it can be to find out there was a recall on this same issue for that year,make and model of my van. When I called they said my VIN number was not included in that recall. So how is it that for the same year same problem it's not covered. I have never had a car that key would just slip back and just shut down my car while driving. I defently think this should be looked into and if I was on a interstate when it happened I would of been killed. I am now afraid to even drive the car. No codes came on or nothing it was running perfectly and the key just went back to the acc spot it started right back up.

The rear axels bend around back wheels also front makes a noise when you hit a bump.

3 yrs ago, fire in engine compartment while I was driving. Could not open doors windows or engine hood. I did have window down when this occurred. Just last week a woman in a car (type not known-) in spokane was trapped and had to be rescued when her car caught fire and she couldn't open door or window. She was lucky a cop busted a window and dragged her out. This is a spooky thing if all cars are like that in a fire. Car had died in street. Mine ignited at stop light. You have a very hidden problems in these plastic cars. If mine had happened a day later then there could have been a loss of seven young children that were going on a trip along with my daughter who was driving. Scary and no one seems concerened.

My van showed the battery light I went to get the battery checked out. The test came back bad battery. I bought a new one everything checked good. The next day the check engine light, air bag light, abs light and battery light lit up. After that the van would not start. We checked fuses they were good. The van will not start, it will crank like trying to start but will not. We only have 55000 miles on it and are being told the room is bad.

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.
