While driving the vehicle, the engine stopped while making a right turn. The vehicle could not be steered and braking was difficult. Once the vehicle was brought to a stop, the engine was restarted and continued without fail. This is the second time in two weeks that this failure has occurred. It is related to the recent recall notice. I am very unhappy with Chrysler as, after calling them, we were told that there is no plan yet for the fix. We can certainly do the fix ourselves, but at our cost. When calling the dealership to get the new ignition switch, we were told that there is only one in the entire state and it may be difficult to get that part. This is a safety issue and could easily have caused an accident, had another car been coming around the corner.

Ignition switch that is under recall. . . . I've known about this for quite some time, yet whenever I ask dealer about it they tell me that the replacement parts have not arrived yet. I now have problems with the switch not turning off at times. I think Dodge is dragging their hind quarters on this recall. My dealer is mullane motors in lockport NY.

2011 Dodge Grand Caravan 3. 6l - problems begin around September with issues cranking the vehicle. The engine would turn over but it was having trouble picking up the fuel. After several attempts the van would start and run fine in the beginning. The issue progressively got worse and more complex. On several occasion while driving, the vehicle lost fuel pressure and stalled momentarily , then picked up fuel again. In November the fuel pump begin not shutting off after the ignition had been switched off and other times it would not pump at all. Around the first of January the vehicle stranded us on vacation for 7 hours only to crank once we jumped the van with another vehicle. After that the only way I could start the vehicle in the morning is by jumping it with another vehicle. This week, thinking that there was a short in the fuel pump I replaced it ($300. 00 parts only) and the problem continued. The fuel pump fuse (m25) was not blown but there was no power on it. I bypassed the fuel pump fuse with the rear power accessory fuse (m7) and the pump came on with the ignition switch. While the fuse is bypassed the vehicle starts and runs fine. After researching the problem online it appears that I may have a common problem with the tipm. Hoping for a recall to help with this costly issue.

Week after week I wait to have the recall work done on my vehicle, and the local dealership repeatedly explains that the replacement parts are unavailable from the maker. Chrysler corporate offices confirmed that the parts are unavailable and that there is a long list of people waiting for their parts. With this extremely unsafe condition of the ignition switch cutting off and the steering wheel locking and lack of power breaks, it is hard to believe that Chrysler has spent nearly a year since the initial complaint and still cannot correct the issue. The recall is out, but it is impossible to get the problem fixed because they are not supplying parts to their dealerships.
