Starter problems of the 2010 Dodge Grand Caravan

Van stalls while driving, the engine completely cuts out without warning. This has happened several times since January 2020. This happens randomly while driving, while stopped at a light and at idle when in park. This is extremely dangerous because there is no warning, making it impossible to get out of harms way. Sometimes the van would start back up and other times it required a jump start. I have changed my battery and starter, and do not have any other keys on my key fob. There is a recall for the tipm ( totally integrated power module) and the ignition switch. I have called the Dodge dealership as well as checked several websites to see if my vehicle was recalled. It is not based on manufacture date and VIN. I am afraid for myself, my family and other innocent drivers. This is a very serious issue that will cause a very serious accident or fatality. I cannot sell or trade in this vehicle knowing that it is unsafe to drive. ## #vpic# 1 - check digit (9th position) does not calculate properly; 14 - unable to provide information for all the characters in the VIN. #vpic#.

Since getting the vehicle in oct. 2018, its been in the shop for starter issues. We have replaced the starter 4 times and still doesn't want to start. The next thing we did was replace the tipm module and 2 days later still having a problem with it starting. At times it takes 1-5 minutes to start and at times it doesn't want to start at all. Not sure what is wrong with it. Needless to say we have paid close to $1600 on the vehicle and it still isn't fixed.

The engine will cut off while the vehicle is driving. It does not stall or sputter to a stop, it is an immediate cut off. The vehicle has a brand new battery, and the alternator and starter passed inspection and tested fine. When the engine stops, we attempt to start it back up but the engine doesn't turn over. It will eventually start back up after a few minutes.

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.

Dodge Grand Caravan 2010 experiencing the following problems in chronological order: 1) sporadically, while driving vehicle at various speeds on highway and city streets, the low and high beam lights stop working. Dealership said they¿re unable to diagnose problem if it¿s not currently happening and to bring it back when it stops working. 2) sporadically after parking and shutting vehicle off to refuel, when attempting to restart vehicle there is no power to the vehicle, no control panel lights, no clicking noise from the ignition or starter, nothing; the vehicle must be jumped before electrical system responds in order to start the vehicle, which then responds immediately. 3) while parked, the left electric powered sliding door does not open using power, must be manually opened and closed; the left passenger electric window will not function most times when button is pushed. 4) while driving vehicle at various speeds, driving straight and turning, the engine shuts off, restarts after placing in park or neutral and turning ignition key to off position and back to start position. 5) rear air conditioner worked sporadically, then worked increasingly less and less, before it finally stopped working altogether. I believe this is all due to a faulty tipm.

When driving on the freeway or city road the dash start to flicker then just shuts down have to wait about a min then starts up again my concern is when driving I lose all control of the vehicle. It seems to happen in the morning and at night I had my starter,relays ,alternator battery check all seem fine please assist.

I received a letter concerning recall r03/NHTSA 14v-373 in June of 2015. On Friday, July 31, we found that the van would not start, but when the key was turned a few times, it would. Thinking that this could possibly be related in some way to the recall, I carefully read the document that stated “… this could cause unintended engine shut off and increase the risk of a crash…. ” the document said nothing about problems initially starting the van. On Tuesday, August 4, as the van would only intermittently start, I brought the van to a local repair shop. The local repair shop diagnosed the problem as a defective starter. After they installed the starter, they told me that they had then done some research and that there was a recall out for this problem. They still charged me $390. 00. I dropped off the van this morning with three Chrysler key fobs, otherwise known as a “frequency operated button ignition key” or fobik, and an additional aftermarket key fob made by ilco, which performs the same functions as the oem key fobs do. The people at larchmont Chrysler Jeep Dodge ram stated that this recall only would replace oem Chrysler key fobs. 1)why does it take three months to set up a date for a safety recall? 2)why did the notice not mention anything about ignition problems but only “unintended engine shutoff?” the way this notice is written, most people would infer that the engine would already be on and one would be driving to experience this difficulty. 3)why, when a local van was brought to a local repair shop, didn’t this diagnostic code immediately mention the recall and state that the recall part is the problem, not the $390 starter? 4)why, if a person has gone through the ridiculous expense and bother of getting four key fobs which all function, and that it is chryslers fault entirely for the problem, can’t an additional key fob be provided?.

It won't always start. It will click to try to but won't. Don't matter if it's hot or cold. Ignatiion switch been changed 3 times. Starter been changed. Battery been changed. Vehicle is always at stand still. Been doing this since I purchased vehicle in 2014 and the deal won't do nothing about it.

2010 Dodge Grand Caravan did not start. This has been an intermittent problem. It has been happening for approximately 1 year. Turn the key and all of the accessories work but starter clicks but will not turn the motor over. Took vehicle to the dealer on 4/30/2014 and was told the starter was bad and was replaced. Drove the vehicle to school that day to pick up child and vehicle did not start. After several tries it started. Drove to work later in the day, shut the vehicle down and tried to restart it and it would not start. Battery has been tested and is good. All signs point to a faulty win. After reading recalls about win wireless interface node modules, I, like several other people, have found that my vehicle does not fall under this recall, missing it by 3 months. Vehicle has been brought back to the dealer to try to get the vehicle to duplicate the problem. Contacted Chrysler/Dodge's 1 800 number and was told the complaint was going to be escalated to the next level because I have called them before about this issue. I now fear that it will shut down when I'm travelling or will not start when I need it to and be left stranded.
