Rear evaporator leaking first reported some issue with ac @ 1285 miles when I had no ac in 2012 and again in 2015 so they recharged the system and it lasted until 2016. I went on vacation the next week and the evaporated was making loud noises. The dealer assured me I would not end up stranded in Florida and the would repair it again upon my return from vacation which the did all told I still had to pay a 100 dollar deductible. Also had to have the weather strip replaced on rear door and side sliding door.

Starting September 2016 we noticed our lights would go on for no reason and our doors would open on its own. We initially chalked it up to our key being faulty and replaced the batteries, but every so often it kept happening. In October our battery died, we figured the last time we changed it was when we originally got the van so maybe it was just time and replaced it. Then in November our car would not start right away. It started with have to crank about 2 times. Especially in the morning after it sat unused for a couple hours, but then throughout the day it was fine. Soon though it took 5 times before it would start so we took it into to our mechanic to see if there was an issue. Nothing registered on the computer, we figured maybe our fuel lines were clogged and we did a flush. It fixed the starting problem for about a week and then it happened again. We could hear our car cranking, but it would not start and we would have to crank it a couple times. Then while driving our car just stopped. Everything shut down, mind you while driving downhill at about 45 mph. The wheel locked and luckily my husband was driving, he was able to get to the side. We towed our car to the mechanic who said now the computer is saying the fuel pump is bad. So we changed that. Our van worked perfectly...for one day. The next morning it would crank, but not start. After towing to the dealership they stated the next appointment was in January 2017 and our van would be on standby. We are fortunate we did not have to wait that long to have them look at it, but now they stated we needed to replace the battery...again! the problem was our tipm. It basically fried our brand new battery. Total cost for replacing just the tipm $1200!!!! that is not including $140 for diagnostics and $140 for a new battery. How can this happen to a car that is only 4 years old?

Suspected tipm failure causing multiple electrical issues. 1. 9/1/16 fuel pump died thereby immobilizing vehicle. Very unusual for a car with less than 60K miles and not yet 5 yrs old. Replaced at dealership, no reimbursement from Chrysler Corp, total out of pocket cost $826. 2. 10/1/16 multiple electrical issues occurred simultaneously a) power door locks no longer function. Therefore over 20mph self locking doors not functional. B) fuel gauge reads completely empty but tank is definitely full. C) parking brake light is constantly illuminated although not applied. D) interior dome lights working intermittently. E) service engine soon indicator light on. For items #1 & #2 vehicle was stationary both times. Currently not being driven until further repair research is done as electrical issues of this nature create an unsafe driving environment.

My daughter made an attempt to start the vehicle, one night after community theater rehearsal, to drive home and found the vehicle would not start and she heard random relays chattering throughout the vehicle, had the windshield wipers move, the instrument panel lights flickered on/off along with displaying error codes of: "no fuse" and "no bus". the fuel pump could be heard running, even with the key off and she said the van acted like it was possessed. Based on online information, I replaced the crankshaft position sensor, which was listed as a top culprit in the problem and that solved nothing. Further research indicated the tipm unit is most likely the cause and we found that her make/model of vehicle is part of a lawsuit for this problem.

My van suddenly shut-down at highway speed (70 mph) with cruise control engaged due to alternator failure which placed my wife, myself and others on the highway in extreme danger of collision. Luckily we were in right lane and were able to coast onto the shoulder. The engine would not restart (nothing - no sounds, only bright whiteout of dashboard) - tow was required. Sudden sequence of events - charging system light illuminated shortly followed by ABS light, electronic stability control light, cruise control would not disengage, engine uncontrollably accelerated / decelerated leading to engine shutting down and dashboard going to total bright whiteout. This alternator failure is identical to NHTSA campaign #14V634000 / fca recall #P60. My Grand Caravan has under 39,000 miles - 3.6 liter engine / 160 amp alternator same as recall for other Dodge models built in same year as my Grand Caravan. Repairs made following day (9/6/16) at tyson Chrysler Dodge Jeep / shorewood, il - alternator failure, removed and replaced alternator.

Bought this van used in January 2016. We had it towed to the shop within a week of purchasing. The dash lights and headlights were flickering while driving. When braking the instrument panel, radio/navigation system and dvd player would shut down and restart itself. They eventually said there was a short in the transmission causing the vehicle to become stuck in 4th gear. It was fine for a month or so, but started doing the same things again. This time the alternator was replaced. Again it was fine for a short time. We let the problem continue without taking it to the shop until it started dying. At first it was only dying when stopped at a traffic light or stop sign. Once I was not able to immediately restart. Then it started dying while driving down the road. Both times were instances of deceleration. The dealership said it was recording events of low voltage. After having it for a week, they told us there was a malfunction within the new alternator and put a new one in. The day after we picked it up it started shutting the electronics down again. Clearly the alternator did not solve the problem. We also had the alternator tested on our own the first time this happened in January as we thought that could be the problem and the alternator tested fine.

While attempting to turn left onto two lane highway, van surged, all dashboard lights came on and then had almost no acceleration. Had to maneuver into center turning lane and then was able to get van into parking lot of store. Engine was revving but van would not go above 10mph. Van was towed to local dealership tonight. This is the third time this has happened since late December of 2015. Main computer (tipm) has been replaced twice already by dealership. Dodge did help cover part of repair cost first time, never heard back from them when it happened again in the end of February and just filed third claim / complaint tonight. Just wondering if they are waiting for someone in my family to be seriously injured or killed when the vehicle does this before acknowledging that there is an inherent issue with this van or the parts they are repairing it with.

We own a 2012 Dodge Grand Caravan, we have been having issues with the vehicle not starting when you turn the key, all the gauge lights will come on but it will not engage the starting system until you wiggle the key around while in the start position. Recently the vehicle stalled while driving around a corner, it was just like turning off the key, the steering locked luckily it was at a low speed and there was no oncoming traffic, the van coasted into the on coming lane. After turn the key off and putting the van back into park it started again, we did not chance driving the vehicle any where but to the dealership, they said it was the win module and it needs to be replaced. After doing some research it is similar to the issues that the 08 - 10 Dodge Grand Caravan are recalled for. The newer models of there vehicles need to have the win systems investigated as well.

I have owned this van since 05/24/2012. At 30,922 miles and date of 01/06/2014 the positive battery cable corroded through and the van died while driving. The dealer replaced the entire cable under factory warranty. On 04/24/2016 & 62,036 miles the positive battery cable corroded through again and the van died while driving it. It seems that this is going to happen every 2 years. Eventually it's going to happen in heavy traffic and someone will get run over by fast rush hour traffic.
