general problems of the 2010 Dodge Grand Caravan

When I’m driving my blinkers and windshield wipers turn on and off randomly and the stereo shuts off ac quits working and the windows lock and can’t be rolled down and when I’m at idle it has very loud ticking noise coming from dash board I think it’s the middle area behind stereo this happens multiple times a day and some days it doesn’t stop till vehicle is turned off and I’ve also noticed that hitting bump in road seem to make the issues worse all of the above mentioned happens together at same time.

Interior panel lights will dim and flicker, headlights dim, radio will lose power, cabin fans for air conditioning will slow then the engine dies. This can happen while idling or driving at highway speeds without warning. When the engine dies all power steering is lost and braking and control is extremely difficult. After stopping the gear shift will not move into park and the key will not move to the off position for several minutes. Diagnosis narrowed this down to the tipm. It was replaced and the issue stopped for 6 months then reoccurred. Tipm replacement again fixed the issue. Obviously the tipm's have a defect and has been widely reported. Major issue is that only remanufactured tipms are available from the same defective build. Dealer charges over $1000 for the part and more to install it. There should be a class action lawsuit on this obvious dangerous defect that has not been addressed by Dodge.

When I am driving the car straight down the road, the car engine cuts off and the steering goes rigid and difficult to steer a I glide and pull the car to the side of the road. This has happened probably 30 times over the past 3 years. Twice (when the car was only a year or so old) the shifting has just slid out of place into another gear by itself. This is so so so dangerous. I have taken my car in to a mechanic several times. They have "fixed"issues trying to fix the problem, but I spend money on"fixes" that do not resolve this terribly frightening problem.

While driving in the city or in a highway all lights and engine stops also the steering wheel and the breaks harding you hardly steer it to the side road to stop the vehicle after few yards depends on the vehicle speed. We ere lucky no body was behind us in many occasions, I had this issue a month after I bought it used from a dealer and they told it is fixed, and now it is back, I coinsider it danger to me and to other drivers on the road.

I recently purchased a 2010 Dodge Grand Caravan. The car shuts off on me while driving . It will start back up after you put it in park and turn it back on but it just shuts off . It shut off on me twice on the highway with my kids in the car and four times while driving in the city. It makes this weird noise when turning left and the lights are flickering on and off. If that's not enough the doors seem to just open and close on there own the trunk shut on me while I was getting groceries out. I brought the car into the shop and they said they can't duplicate the shutting off and claimed they fixed the door opening in it's own problem . Well the doors continue to open and now they are hard to open with the key and you have to manually open them . This is a safety concern and the dealer is claiming there is nothing wrong please help me.

The tipm (totally integrated power module) is either defective, or damaged from weather exposure. Sparatic power issues are present causing odd things to go wrong, from the battery being drained, to backlight flickering on the dash, to upon exiting the vehicle attempting to lock vehicle to only have it unlock again, to also upon locking, having the front windows randomly go down.

My head lights intermittently blink when I turn on my vehicle as well as when I'm driving down the road. The running lights still work but its the high and low beam lights. The lights will blink a few times then stay off. The vehicle can be in motion or sitting still. I have taken it to the dealer and researched online and it looks to be a required replacement of the tipm module which is a very expensive fix. Also looking at the online forums, it seems to be a problem with this module on a lot of vehicles. I have taken it to the dealership and they have diagnosed it to the tipm. I believe since this is an issue with multiple vehicles, Chrysler needs to recall these tipms since this is an issue with multiple people.

Similar to other reports; vehicle will randomly lose power and/or stall. It has happened at slow speeds, stopped at a light, and even on the highway going 70mph. Have to take key out of ignition, wait a few seconds and turn back on and car starts up. Also now having issues to turn on. Lights on dash will blink and dim; radio shuts off; ebs, anti lock brake, engine light all begin to blink. Idle needles gets low. Power brakes lose function. We have owned the car since March 2016, car has 56000 miles. Taken to dealer a few times where the pcm was changed and issued not resolved. Changed faulty pulley on belt system and issue not resolved. Computer does not come back with any codes. Local mechanic checked for starter, alternator, ignition switch issues and all showing good. Vehicle is not part of Dodge recall of other 2010 that are having exact same issue.

While operating the vehicle, the interior lights, radio, air conditioner and windows become inoperable. The lights, radio, and air turn off, and the windows will not go up or down. The head lights still work, but the rest do not. Then they come back on out of nowhere. Then off and on and off and on. . . While sitting still and while driving. This has happened multiple times. And I fear it's going to start an electrical fire while we are in the vehicle.

Some of my dash lights are not working. I took to my mechanic and he said, "this would be an eight-hour job and cost about $800. 00. He did not want this job and suggested I contact Dodge to see if there were any recalls. I cannot afford to have this repaired. Is there something Dodge can do to fix this problem. I never had this kind of problem with any of my vihicles before and thyis is the fourth Dodge I have owned. The problem is that at night, when I need to see my dash lights, I cannot see my speedometer, ect. I had to put a light above my speedometer. Nor very attractive and not real helpful.

The vehicle just quite--it died in the middle of the road. . . There was a recall on this vehicle from Chrysler but they stopped 2 months before this one. . Called the dealer and they said sorry. . . It happened numerous times. . . The recall was on the ignition module which was what they changed on my van. . $850. 00 dollars worth.

While driving between 30 and 35 miles per hour, at around 7:40pm, the low beams on my 2010 Dodge Grand Caravan went completely off. I pulled over and was unable to get them back on and had to drive with my high beams on. Took it to a mechanic, explained to him exactly what happened, but when he went to check them they turned on and he found no visible problems. The mechanic told us that he had researched online what the problem could be and found that there were many complaints about this issue. I am now afraid to drive at night or in the rain after seeing all the complaints online about this same problem. I can only imagine what could happen driving at night time on a curvy road and the lights fail.

Tl-the contact owns a 2010 Dodge Grand Caravan. The contact stated the head lights have malfunctioned. The high nor low beam head light would turn on. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for a diagnostic testing. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 123,000. Rg.

I bought a 2010 Dodge Grand Caravan sxt. The company will not turn on the daytime running lights. They always turned them on when I bought previous year vans. It has been proven to be a worthwhile safety item. My insurance company would give me a 10% reduction for this item. The option is available and turned on for vehicles sold in canada. I feel this is a serious fault that will result in more crashes for this vehicle.
