general problems of the 2009 Dodge Grand Caravan

Parked vehicle and put gear in park. Vehicle rolled down hill through chain link fence and did front end damage. No person was inside vehicle at time it rolled off.

Keep having issues with transmission while driving with my children in the car.

When I was driving the engine completely stalled and power steering gone. This happened 3 times in different occasions. I managed to steer to the roadside, put vehicle in park and start again. Yesterday after driving for couple hours I stopped at the store and wen I got back the car didn't start no crank, no sound ( all the dash lights on, full battery) call toll truck. . . . Waiting for toll truck arrive, start looking on line for the problem. . . . Lots a people have the same problem. . . I did fallow recommendations and try shifting from p to n couple times and turn key on and off. Then suddenly the car started again. . . Cancel toll truck. . . But no solutions, no checking light on. . . Nothing. . Just waiting for this happening again. . . .

When I put my van in reverse 3 different times this past weekend, and in the process of backing up slowly it shut off. Twice I was backing out of my driveway, & it shut off in the town road. I had to restart it and continue backing up. Another time I was turning out of a plaza, where I had to turn, and when I backed up it shut off in the middle of a town road. Traffic stopped, for me to restart it and back up. On Tuesday 10/23/18, I tried backing it out of my driveway to bring it for service. The rpm's went high, it wasn't moving, and was shaking. I shut if it off and had it towed to the garage. The cause of the problem is unknown. It is a big safety issue, and I didn't see any recalls for it online, and there should be a recall for the unsafe condition! I saw hundreds of similar complaints for Dodge caravans shutting off.

Our van keeps running out of oil completely before oil change is due, dealer has already replaced oil pan and rear main seal. Problem still exists and they are saying the rear main seal again. Does not make any sense because there is no oil in parking spot or under vehicle near rear main seal. Online many people report that it is a engine problem and that it is a common issue with the motor. . . So why are people having to pay for repairs when this motor should be recalled. It is currently at the dealership now being repaired or replacing rear main seal again.

The vehicle was parked on an incline, facing up, and put in park. The driver exited the vehicle and then reached back in to turn off and remove the keys. The vehicle started to roll back down the drive, hitting two other vehicles before the driver, who was hit by the open door, could get back in the vehicle and apply the brakes. It is unknown why the keys would have come out if the car was not in park, or why the car would switch from park to reverse without the keys in or a foot on the brake.

Multiple problems. Worst first. High oil consumpsion, maintain vehicle faithfully. At approx. 70 k miles the engine oil light popped on. Checked oil. Was not registering on stick. Over three qts low! engine continues to use 3-4 qts between oil changes (3000 miles). Van is on its third set of brakes. Tires have to be rotated very often becuase the front ruins tires quickly. Have had to replace the key fob twice. Both times it has left us stranded with no warning. Van is now in the shop for bad motor mounts. Gauge cluster has been replaced once. Heater hose "y" connection blew apart while on vacation at approx. 75k miles. (engine did not overheat). Van is on its third or fourth battery. Power sliding doors continually have problems closing. Power steering pump whines since 15k miles. Van currently has 91k miles.
