Continued issues regarding vehicle performance including front tires, transmission, window switch, sliding pass. Doors. Financed a 2011 Dodge Grand Caravan on Jan 25 2013, VIN # 2d4rn5dg7br678818. Upon delivery I had issues with car and returned to dealership the nex day. Issues included hard shifting, car veering off the road and some noises and no manuals or paperwork for warranty.

Bought vehicle used from a Dodge dealership in 2012, after several months engine shut off while driving on highway and then spontaneously restarted. This happened maybe once a month but then became more frequent until it is now almost a daily occurrence. When this occurs sometimes car will restart if you slightly turn the key towards start quick enough, otherwise you have to shift into neutral to have some control and then turn the key to restart (not fun or safe in traffic at highway speeds). This can happen while sitting in the driveway before moving or at any speed, bumpy roads especially bad. Once we realized what the problem was with the ignition switch/key I did some research and found the recall 11v-139 and determined that our van was built during the recall manufacture dates. Called Dodge 3 times, first two calls was told recall did not exist. On the 3rd call was told it did exist but my VIN was not included in recall. I asked to at least have the ignition scanned with the witech scan tool (as described in the instructions in the l25 recall notice sent to dealers) dealer to determine if it was a marquardt, siemens or continental win module. I was told I could do this at my expense but even if the results showed it was a recalled ignition it would not be covered since my VIN was not in the recall. This situation is extremely dangerous and if it has not caused any deaths yet as with the current gm ignition problem it will. Something needs to be done. P. S. Vehicle also has the transmission bearing noise problem and the leaky/noisy power steering problems that Dodge has described in service bulletins but has also not recalled.

On Saturday 12/29/07 as I was returning from my mother's home with my 2 young children our transmission failed. I was driving approximately 60 mph on the highway when, with absolutely no previous warnings or problems or even an indicator light, my 2002 Dodge Grand Caravan sport with 128k miles made a sudden loud thump noise (according to my 6 year old son in the back seat it sounded like we ran over something) and the vehicle proceeded to down shift dramatically. I was able to pull onto the shoulder but was unable to continue. I had to have my wife drive, with our youngest child, back to rescue us from the side of the road. The car had to be towed as it would not move after that. We are still waiting for repairs. I don't think this should have happened and certainly not without any warning or problems previously.

: the contact stated when the vehicle was initially placed in drive, there was a clunking sound coming from the engine in the area of the transmission. The same clunking noise was heard every time the vehicle automatically downshifted at any speed. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who determined there was internal problem with the transmission; however no further diagnostic testing or repairs were completed.
