This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
My van will just shuts off with no warning while I am driving. I lose my power steering and power brakes and hard to control. I then have to try to safely pull over and it will just start right back
Van will very randomly not start as if the battery is dead but it is not. It will start fine for weeks and suddenly not start and then start again later and be gone for weeks again.
We have a 2010 Dodge Grand Caravan SXT with 133,000 miles and since the day we got it back in July all it has done while driving is shut down/shut itself off. Lights on dashboard will come on, flash and van will just shut down. Key refuses to come out at times, have no hazard lights when this happens, and it can take anywhere from 5-30 minutes for the van to even start again. This happens on the interstate and in the city, doesnt matter really where we are, even at stop lights/stop signs
Bought vehicle used from Kia dealership August 2016. March 2017 I started experiencing problems with headlights intermittently shutting off either before startup (while parked and ignition off) or during operation (while driving). All other electrical systems seemed fine including amber running lights, tail-lights, turn signals, and brake lights. Took vehicle to mechanic July 2017, no issues were found. No problems for 2 weeks, then started experiencing same problem. No recalls or solutions found at this time.
Now, in addition to stalling at any time and any speed, at times the van will not start (wont even turn over) and the windows intermittently work. Clearly it's a totally integrated power module (tipm) issue. Folks, check out how incompetent the NHTSA is, go to www.chryslerproblems.com/trends/tipm/ so many tipm issues that the NHTSA refuses to address until some of us die.

My 2010 Dodge Grand Caravan began having issues about 6 months ago. The ABS light would light up and beep on and off and was taken to the dealership and they stated they could not determine the problem without it occuring at that time. As months went on the problem became worse. All the dashboard lights began turning on and off headlights would dimmer, clock and radio would shut off. Took to a few mechanics and none could determine the problem. The problem got worse battery light began staying lit. We then replaced the battery and the battery cables. The problems persisted, we took to another mechanic who stated the alternator needed to be replaced.

It is random, having purchased this used vehicle only 4 months ago, driven less than 1000 miles, I don't feel safe as a female senior citizen traveling alone any distance in this vehicle, previous owner had the dealer replace fuel pump and computer (twice).
