Software problems of the 2013 Dodge Grand Caravan

Vehicle has abruptly shut down during operation at speeds greater than 60 mph. I was able to safely guide vehicle to an available shoulder area and restart. The shut down came with dash lights of service engine soon and battery light. These lights have been simultaneous and intermittent. Vehicle was taken into the dealer and the dealer indicated that a ob computer software upgrade was required and uploaded. I was charged a diagnosis fee for this. The upload appears to have cured the service engine light but the battery light has returned.

2011 Dodge Grand Caravan passenger sliding doors will randomly shut after being opened and reaching the full open position. Video demonstration will be posted soon on youtube with the previous sentence as search title. Occurs when any button in the car, remote, or manual handle is used to activate automatic opening of the door. Symptoms have occurred in many locations and at all car ground slope angles. Problem began after the recall powertrain software update. Car has been to dealer many times and symptoms have been reproduced at dealership. Re-training an affected door may reduce symptoms. A door module was replaced but did not repair problems. Because it is random passengers are unsuspecting. Multiple incidents have occurred with doors closing on passengers who enter before the door has finished opening. Multiple incidents have occurred of unbalanced adults placing babies into child seats who have less then one inch clearance to their arm with the door in the full open position and have no time to react. When this occurs the adult may lose hold of the baby. A parent placing a child in a carseat may have the door shut on their torso. Children or frail adults entering or exiting the vehicle may be ejecting into or out of the car and may be seriously injured during the fall. Children or adults entering or exiting the vehicle may have a body part trapped in the door and seriously injured.
