general problems of the 2007 Dodge Grand Caravan

As I was driving in town the vehicle started running very rough, I pulled over into a parking lot and then it wouldn't run at all. I had it towed to an auto repair place. They replaced a sensor. That did not fix the problem, so after a few weeks they finally diagnosed it as needing a valve job. I bought this vehicle new in 2007 and had it regularly serviced.

In may 2014, at approximately 55mph, after refueling and driven 50 miles. The engine light came on. Stopped vehicle and checked everything that I could check, as I had just had it serviced approx. 300 miles prior. Continued on trip, after spending night in motel, took vehicle to repair facility and they did diagnostics. . . Came up with code 461, which was fuel lever sensor in gas tank. Continued on trip, (1300 miles), after that two times when I had filled up with gas again the vehicle died within 2 miles. . . No engine light ever came back on. This continued throughout the summer, occuring 80% of the time I refueled. . . Took to dealer as I have extended warranty, they are looking into it, but said because the engine light doesn't come back on, they can't evaluate it. Read somewhere since I took it back to the dealer, that if I don't fill the tank up fully, that will cure the problem? the engine dying happens while driving less than 20mph, so far. . . Could be a problem pulling out in traffic? this is now October, still experiencing problem.

Interior dome lights stopped working. Now, the "malfunction light" is lit up on the dashboard at 38,000 miles.

Four separate instances of an unintended acceleration occurred within 5 minutes while traveling at low speeds (5 - 15 mph). Each of these instances is described below: 1. While turning right out of a gas station at about 5-10 mph, the car lurched forward and the power steering system seemed to fail (I. E. , the car was steering right and it was very difficult to keep from continuing right into a curb). The brakes worked fine and prevented a collision with the curb. I headed for a friend's house located nearby. 2. Approximately 500 - 1000 feet later, while turning left at 15 mph onto a side street, there was another unintended acceleration and the steering wheel was 'locked' left (I. E. , the power steering system again seemed to fail). The brakes on and the car collided with the curb at a low speed (1-3 mph). Had traffic been coming down the road, a car heading toward me would have hit the side of my car. 3. Approximately 500 feet down that street, while turning left onto another side street, the engine revved again for a second, and returned to normal. The steering and brakes were not adversely affected. 4. I proceeded slowly down that street for a distance of about 200 feet and was slowing down to park along the right hand side of the street. While going only about 2 mph, the car revved hard again, and lurched forward about 3 feet until I could stop the car. I stayed at the friend's house for 3 hours. 5. A service station was nearby and I drove slowly toward it. The car made a total of 3 right turns and 2 left turns without incident. However, when just starting to make a 4th right turn, the engine revved and the power steering seemed to fail again. I stopped the car and turned off the ignition. I proceeded a half mile to the repair station (with 3 left turns and 1 right turn), without incident.

On three separate occasions when driving the car, the ignition key suddenly shut off the engine causing difficulty with steering as well. This was checked by the dealership who could find no reason for the action.

2007 Dodge Grand Caravan dies after filling up with gas creating a driving hazard and a dangerous situation, this happens now with every fill up, didn't happen until Nov. 2010, now it happens consistently with every fill up.

No events lead up to the failure of the ac unit. Failure was discovered after first attempted use of ac following winter of 2010. Rear ac unit failure. Corrosion of the rear evaporator unit and early failure of the rear expansion valve. Failure believed to be due to poor placement and of the lines behind the r/rear wheel and lack of protection from environmental effect of road salt, sand, debris, etc.

Acellerator binds when engine is running.

Car will not start after setting for few weeks.
