I went to unlock my vehicle to get something from inside. I noticed that the lights were very dim and after placing the key fob into the ignition, the fob was locked in place.

The first time this happened I was (June 22, 2020) on my way home from the dealership where I had just purchased the vehicle. I purchased it from out of state so it was about a 400 mile drive home. I was coming to a stop light and the brakes stiffened and didn't work. Also the power steering was gone. Luckily, I was able to pull over and turn the car off and then turn it back on again. A brake light was flashing on the dash so, I pressed the parking brake release twice and restarted it again. After I did this the car seemed fine. I drove home very carefully and called the dealer. They said to take it to the closest dealer to my house. I did the next day (June 23, 2020). The only problem code they found was in the brakes so they replaced those parts. I went home thinking that all was fixed. I drove the vehicle another 500+ miles in the next week without any problems. Then on July 4th it happened again, no brakes or power steering. I was lucky again in that I could pull over and restart the car. I took it in to the dealer when they opened on July 6th. They found no problem code and said until they had it happen while they were driving it, there was nothing they could do. The first time this happened I was driving downhill slowing down to a stoplight. The second time I was driving downhill and slowing for traffic when I noticed it. I was lucky that I was not on fast highways when this happened.

For the last few years the van just turns off while we are driving it. Completely turns off- we could be driving on a side street or going 75 mph on a highway. It's terrifying. We've tried to have it checked and fixed but it doesn't show up in the codes when the mechanic checks it. This is a terrible safety hazard.

Ignition shuts off randomly when driving or in reverse while backing up. Has happened over 30 times in the last 2-3 yrs. I was crossing a busy road & it shut off. Driving up my drive way & it shuts off. Backing out of my driveway & it shuts off. The last time it happened was 5/5/2020.

This has happen over 18 times of owning the vehicle for a year.

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.

Was driving on the highway in stop and go traffic when the vehicle died. The electrical system was still functional, but the brakes and the power steering were not working and the car appeared to be idling, but non-responsive. Was able to pull over and force the gear into park and turn the car off and when the vehicle turned on no warning lights were displayed.

Driving on highway at 70mph. The car turned off and the "traction control" idiot light turned on. I managed to struggle to get it over to the side of the highway (I-294 in chicago is not easy!) and put the car in park. With the car in park, I was able to restart the car and continue on our trip. This is the 3rd time this has happened since November 2019.

My 2007 Dodge Grand Caravan se can be easily shifted into gear while in auxiliary power, and it sometimes locks out my brakes, as there is a locked steering wheel you can't steer it and can't turn it on without shifting back to park which can be difficult if the brakes lock. A child could easily set it in gear if you are running the air and you leave the car briefly, I do not have kids but I do run some taxi work in the neighborhood. It could be done anywhere as long as it's in auxiliary power to radio and electrics but not fully on.

While driving through a intersection turning right the engine shutoff without warning. Along with the engine shutoff, power steering was lost and everything on the dashboard including the speedometer, rpms, radio. With the loss of acceleration and power steering it made it very difficult to maneuver to safety. Once stopped I was able to place the vehicle in park I turned the key to off and restarted the vehicle and it started back up normally. Absolutely no engine lights or warning were showing before or after this incident. I suspect that the issue is the tipm but can't be exactly sure.

My vehicle was at jeff wyler Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep in batavia, ohio for a week plus a few days. In all of that time that this vehicle was having its transmission issues diagnosed and inspected, the service department failed to address the open recall of NHTSA recall #17v-376, fca recall #t33 for the steering wheel wiring. The dealership knows about open recalls and, yet failed to perform the repairs on this vehicle. Instead, it allowed my vehicle to be towed from its lot back to my home address, despite knowing that it failed to address the recall. Dodge customer care representatives informed me of this recall while I was on the phone with them and still the dealership did not even make mention of this. They failed to repair the potentially dangerous or fatal issues with the vehicle and Dodge failed to ensure that the vehicle recall was completed during all of my conversations with Dodge and Dodge executive office personnel.

While driving at 35-40mph on a rural zone the steering wheel suddenly felt 'locked' and was extremely difficult to steer. At the same time the brakes were hard to press and the traction control dash light came on. My wife was driving and frightened her very much. The road has a slight curve in it and has oncoming traffic in the opposite lane. She had to forcibly steer the van as best she could against the sidewalk curb to help slow down the van. If she had made it to the freeway when this happened I don't think the results would be the same as far as her safety. I looked up the symptoms and found it to be a common problem and that even a recall might be in place for this issue. Please forward me any info that will help me correct this problem.

This is the 6th time my van has died on me while driving it. I will be driving at any rate of speed and my van will just shut off. If I leave it sit for 45minites it will start back up. Today it died on me in the middle of an intersection with three kids in the car. We have taken it several places and no one seems to be able to help us. We have replaced the tipm. No check engine light is ever on when it happens.

Driving and ignition shut off.

Tl the contact owns a 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan. The contact stated that the check engine indicator remained illuminated. The vehicle was taken to doug henry Jeep Dodge ram (4051 w vernon Ave, kingston, nc 28504) where it was determined that the VIN was included in four pending unknown recalls. The dealer informed the contact that there was a steering wheel sensor that needed replacement, which would be at the contact's expense. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failures. The approximate failure mileage was 210,564.

While driving on city street (between 20 and 30 mph) the vehicle engine shut off. The power steering and power brakes also stopped making the vehicle difficult to stop or maneuver to a safe stopping location. There was no warning of a failure and the only indication was the traction control/stability dash indicator. After the vehicle was stopped it was placed in park and restarted, then drove fine. There were still no indications of a failure (cel or ses light). No diagnostic codes were stored on the computer. Because this happens completely unexpected, if it were to occur while going around a curve or in an intersection there is a safety concern.

Vehicle would randomly shut off whiling driving. Ignition switch would change positions if bumped or while driving over rough terrain. Thus causing the vehicle to shut off unexpectedly. 2008-2011 model years have already been recalled. I guess someone has to die for the 2012 model year, which uses the same part, to be recalled as well.

While driving today on a busy street at 40 mph car just shut off. No warning, no check engine light, nothing. No power steering, gas, etc. Just stopped working. Was able to pull over and turn key off. Car turned back on after. I believe the cause of this is a bad tipm. This is our family's primary vehicle and I am lucky that nothing happened and my kids were not in the car with me today had previous problem with car not starting when key turned. This is still an intermittent problem. Dealer said most likely the tipm, but didnt want to replace without knowing for sure because part is so expensive.

Can shit off when driving I have to come to a full stop put in park and turn it back on. While this happens you lose all-powerful no breaks no strating no gas. Verry scary I was traveling around 45mph when it shut off this time I was completely in head on lane when I was able to steer it back.
