general problems of the 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan - part 2

My car qualifies for a recall for the Dodge Grand Caravan transmission pump. The dates of affected caravans were from July 31 2015 to April 18th 2016. My caravan was built in February 2016 the recall code from the dealer is s44 and the nhts a recall code is 16v461000. I have tried working with the dealership because due to this issue it blew my transmission. I have been complaining about the issue of the car is weird tendencies when switching in and out of gear for several years now and they are refusing to do anything. I am simply asking for them to replace the defective part and my transmission because this is clearly during the timeframe of the recall. My van is not pulling up in the recalls. However it is the exact same issue as the actual recall itself that I am having. And it is the reason my transmission has gone out.

While pulling into a parking lot, the engine suddenly died with no indicator lights or warning of any kind. Steering locked up and brakes were not functional. Coasted to a stop in a stall and put the vehicle in park. Restarted it without incident but I'm afraid it will happen in much more dangerous conditions.

When driving the car stalls. When turn on the air the car shakes. When stop the car acts it changing gears.

Check engine light on. Cylinder 3 failure. Not spark plug or coil pack related. Defective head.

Cylinder 3 failure. Loss of power during emergency maneuvering. Check engine light on. Not spark plug or coil pack related. Defective head.

V1 was parked for at least 12 hours and vehicle engine compartment fire .

Rpm started bouncing between 5-7k then I couldn't accelerate on freeway and kept losing speed. Had to accelerate hard to get to the side of freeway.

Left cylinder head failure. "pentastar tick" cylinder 2 missfire, random missfire. Loss of power in motion. No overheating. Just faulty mechanincal failure. This is covered up until 2014. Same engine. Same problems!.

I've had nothing but problems with my 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan I had to replace the left side lifter for pentastar tick. Both driver side and passenger side doors don't always open manually or with remote and neither one locks anymore. Just had to have the transmission rebuilt, was driving van it suddenly stopped would not accelerate, luckily got off of the main road then had to be towed to garage. This van has cost me so much money out of pocket.

I was going back to home at 8:45 pm when I turn a road and press the gas to keep going the vehicle never move forward and did stop couple seconds later and never moved again the vehicle start and everything does work but won't move forward or back up.

When exiting the freeway, the power gave out and the steering wheel locked up. However, the car did not shut down it was still running but was unable to steer. The engine light is on, had it checked out and there's issues with the heads. There has been extendes warranties for this issue but VIN is not included.

Tl-the contact owns a 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan. The contact parked the vehicle and it would not start. The contact called a towing service and the vehicle still would not start after they attempted to give the vehicle a jump. The contact had the battery checked still could not get a restart. The vehicle was towed back to the contact's home.

The manufacturer had not been contacted yet. The failure mileage was 19. 888. Tf.

All of the sudden, I have no power to even get over 40 mph. Great to happen in a busy city with my child in the car recovering from surgery. Had to pull over and get a ride home.

When idling the cylinder #2 miss fires, tune up was done, oil changed, I searched the VIN number and it says no recalls.

My van has been diagnosed with a cylinder 5 miss fire I have replaced the fuel injector, spark plugs, and ignitor plugs. When the vehicle starts I hear a knock in the motor and the does not run smoothly. While moving the vehicle sometimes struggles to gain speed from a stopped position. I have noticed a reduction in my fuel milage since the issue appeared.

As I drive it and put into stop on stop light. The break didnt engage. I had to step all the way out and it engage. It felt like I lost the brake fluid . But then after that. . When the green light went on. . The van just operated itself just1 fine. T after few months. . The van starts out fine but cant be driven. As of now we managed to park it in businesses plaza. And the a/c feels like or sounds like acting up. And now, totally cant be driven .

Car loses all power and steering is lost as well. This has happened three times now, we have taken it to the dealership and they cannot find anything wrong with the car or recreate the issue. We have a family of 6 and are worried about driving our car, this is a safety issue that needs to be fixed.

I have had the engine and transmission rebuilt and the car is not quite four years old. The rear ac has been fixed, the t. V. That came with the car has been repaired. The door locks have been fixed. The fuel injected have been repaired and now I am having problems with the Cadillac converter. It car has had so many problems and a lot of the problems were some of you recall. I will never get another Dodge.

When I brake hard (for example at a red light), my van shuts off. This has happened multiple times over the last month.

While driving, several dash panel lights flashed, lost power steering, lost ability to increase speed with gas pedal. Engine stayed on but only at idle. Able to get out of traffic onto side road and stop. Turned key to off and then tried to start car again. It worked on the second try. Seemed to operate normally with only the clock reset to 12:00am. This same sequence happened twice, about a week apart. No rain either time both during daylight.

Te left cylinder head went bad at 80,000 miles.

The first thing to go wrong with this vehicle was the television stopped working and they fixed it once and it went out again but I did not take it back because it would have cost me out of pocket . The next thing to go wrong was the driver side back door would not open they had to keep it for a day or two for that. The next thing to go wrong was the cylinder head they took a week to fix it but the car still had weak engine performance and engine misfire so I took it back for them to check it again and they could not find anything wrong with it. The windshield wiper squirter is also broken. The next thing to go wrong was the gear shifter, the car would not move and was stuck in drive with key stuck in the ignition we had just gotten in the car . I tried to turn the car off and back on but the engine would not crank. I had to have it towed in twice and rent a car on my own insurance doesn't provide rental unless you have a accident. When that happened my family of six was in the car. I had to pay for everything out of pocket. The problems started after 2 years and the car is only three years old and four more years to pay for it . I was advise by an agent at Dodge Jeep Chrysler tallahassee FL that if I continued to pay my warranty would be extended.

I bought a 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan with 77,438 miles. The vehicle ran great till the end of November 2018. At which time we started having major issues. 1st the vehicle will self accelerate with to excessive speeds over 80 mph with no assistance. You have to hold the break to keep it under control. 2nd you can take the key out of the ignition, close the door and the car continue to run. 3rd when starting the van the transmission goes into limp mode not allowing you to shift the car to reverse or drive. To release the you have to hit the safety override switch place the van in gear and then you are only able to drive to the speed of 30 mph. We have taken this van to the shop that drive time warranty company directed us to which was pep boys. They were not able to do the work the vehicle needed but still charges us $50. Drive time said we would be reimburse for but never happened. Then drive time directed us to take the car to meineke the diagnosed the vehicle we paid the deductible $100. Drove the van home 1 week later it was back at meineke to be repaired again. Meineke advised that the part that was under warranty cause sever damage to other components of the van. Drive time authorized the work. We went to pick up the van as it was completed meineke advised us it would be $2700 for the repairs as drive time was not paying for it. We contacted drive time on this they advised us to pick the van up and not to pay meineke anything. So we went round and round with drive time and meineke finally getting our van back. Now 10 days later it is doing the same thing. I have 4 children and a wife that is in this vehicle that is unsafe and is an accident waiting to happen.

The vehicle is 2 years old I have owned for 7 months. I start the car it will not go into gear. I shut the car off the motor keeps running. Then it will go in gear and move by itself.

The engine won't shut down after being driven. When the vehicle has been parked, and put into park, then turn the key off, the vehicle is still running. It'll run for several minutes, then cut off. I've tried to put the key back in and turn it on and then off, van still runs. I've unhooked the battery to see if it would reset itself. The problem still exists.
