Van has failed to turn on multiple times, park turn off vehicle and in as little as 10 minutes later it would not start. I replaced alternator and battery apparently after going to multiple mechanics that didn't find the problem with diagnostics I found out it was neither it was a faulty tipm. 6-8 months later started having issues with the car stalling out and having an issue turning back on. I have stalled on multiple occasions on the freeway I have contacted Dodge and the recall is not for my year of vehicle. Parts for this are expensive along with labor. Dodge needs to recall this issue because the last time this happened to me I was driving 60 mph on the freeway car behind me was close and my van stalled could of got hurt or killed and so could the other driver. Brakes need to be changed often as well more than I've ever had to change them for any other vehicle.

Within the last week (may 8, 2020 - may 15, 2020) my van has suddenly stalled and died 3 different times. Incident 1 - driving on a 45 mph straight road when suddenly the engine died and lost power to all electrical components. After pulling off to the side and shutting the ignition completely off it started right back up and ran well. Incident 2 - driving on a 30 mph straight road. After just having crossed a bridge suddenly the engine died and lost power to all electrical components. Again, it started back up just fine and ran well. Incident 3 - pulled into a parking spot and placed the vehicle in park when the engine and electrical components shut off.

Dodge Grand Caravan 2012 stalled in motion while driving on an expressway at the 65 mph speed limit. The following morning I took it out on a country back road and again it stalled in motion while driving 55 mph speed limit. I was able to steer the car without power steering, and apply brakes but the spedometer, gas, and engine all died as I was driving it as if the car was turned off. I am doubtful the rear brake lights were working and am lucky no one was behind me. From looking it up I am told that this is an issue with Dodge jeeps and vans related to the tipm module. If I was aware of this issue before buying the car, I might have reconsidered, it is seriously dangerous and someone could easily be killed if this happens while someone is driving behind you and the van just dies.
Saturday 15, 2018 my family and I were driving back from the mall, I was driving at about 55 miles an hour when the vehicle stalled and just died in the middle of the highway without any warnings or signals on the dash. I managed to use the momentum and pulled over to the shoulder, it restarted after 9 times try. Thankfully we were able to make it home. A month before vehicle was parked in driveway and it wouldn't start, towed it to mechanic and replaced alternator. Till now vehicle always stalls when slowing down or coming to stop. This vehicle acts like it have been taken over by supernatural forces and what happened last Saturday was very scary to my family. I have read a lot of the same complaints on this site about this vehicle and it is very upsetting that the maker have not taken responsibility in addressing this safety issue. I wonder how many people will have to die first before they address this safety issue. Let it be clear I will sue, god forbid any happen.

2012 Dodge Grand Caravan stalled when driving and I lost the steering. This can be live threatening!! no codes come up when trying to diagnose the issue. Mechanic tried to duplicate the stalling issue by driving it for a week. Not able to duplicate the issue. Looking at forums this seems to be an ongoing issue. Hopefully nobody will die from a stalling engine that looses steering. When put in park it turns back on with no issues. This has happened to me now for the third time. Again, this needs to be looked at before someone dies!!!!.

When we fist got the van we experienced some issues with the brakes. The dealership was supposed to take care of it but the problem persisted and we went to a recommended mechanic. Then the following months we had some issues with the motor mounts. Once again we had to replace them and then we had some problems with the electronic computer and we had to re-learn some of the already installed programs. I would like for whoever approves the recalls to go ahead and approve the other issues because for it being a six year old car it definitely has more issues than it should.

The vehicle just stalls while driving. This was the case yesterday and today. I have to put it back on park in order to re-start the engine. The latest instances are not the first time we experienced this problem. My wife reported it at least a couple of times. The dealership once told me that was probably caused by the weight of the key ring and with other things attached to it. Since then, I make sure to drive with only the Dodge key on the ignition, taking down all everything else from the key ring.
