Van stalls while driving, the engine completely cuts out without warning. This has happened several times since January 2020. This happens randomly while driving, while stopped at a light and at idle when in park. This is extremely dangerous because there is no warning, making it impossible to get out of harms way. Sometimes the van would start back up and other times it required a jump start. I have changed my battery and starter, and do not have any other keys on my key fob. There is a recall for the tipm ( totally integrated power module) and the ignition switch. I have called the Dodge dealership as well as checked several websites to see if my vehicle was recalled. It is not based on manufacture date and VIN. I am afraid for myself, my family and other innocent drivers. This is a very serious issue that will cause a very serious accident or fatality. I cannot sell or trade in this vehicle knowing that it is unsafe to drive.

The van cut off on me while driving on a city street.. there was no warning ahead of time. At first I was told that it was an electrical issue but even after fixing that the van don't want to start back up. And now the second shop is saying that the engine is gone but I don't think that that's the issue because I had a diagnostic test 3 weeks before and it said nothing about a bad engine
Everything to do with the braking system needs to be recalled including the sensors. 2018,2019,2020 I had to replace brakes, calipers, rotors, and hub assembly multiple times. This is not normal to keep replaces these parts. Many people experienced this problem and I sure many others will. There needs to be a recall on this.
For the pass year been having problems with the traction, bas, brake and esp lights coming on and sometimes losing temporarily power. Sometimes it dies and 90% of time have to reset the clock. If it doesn't die and I pull over and kill it and crank it back and the dash lights go off but most of time have to reset clock. Sometimes driving down highway, and in parking lots and sometimes backing out of my carport..my foot usually on brake but a few times it wasnt.this is the short version on my 2010 Dodge Grand Caravan that has 180,000 miles
My 2010 Dodge Grand Caravan, I just purchased this van from car company in warsaw Indiana! I took it back to car company twice to see what's wrong with it and these more or less told me they couldn't help! while driving down the road my van shuts off! I lose brakes, steering all power ! put in neutral start it and keep going! sometimes 2 or 3 times in a 5 mile radius.
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.
For the past couple years my van just turns off when I'm driving. Nobody can figure it out. Then my doors randomly open. This happens anywhere. Interstate or in town. Steering wheel locks up and I have to put in numeral and start. This happens daily.
When driving down the road it will without warning lose power and shut off. It has even had a problem where all the warning lights flash and the windshield wipers start, while the control is off.
My husband was driving our 2010 Dodge Grand Caravan down a residential street when suddenly in traffic the vehicle ignition shut off. Because the vehicle was going 30mph it didn't just stop and he could no longer control it. The van hit the back of another vehicle at full speed causing the air bags to deploy in the van. No one thankfully was hurt but our vehicle has been declared a total loss. We have contacted mopar since the accident occurred on 3/18/2020 and have received the runaround. Because the ignition just cut off we contacted a Dodge dealership to have the VIN number checked and were informed of the open recall that can cause exactly what occurred with our vehicle. We were directed by the dealership to contact mopar. We just purchased this vehicle at an auction in January 2020 we were never notified about a recall on the vehicle. The vehicle recall number is R03.
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.
The contact owns a 2010 Dodge Grand Caravan. The contact stated that while driving 25 mph and making a right turn the steering ceased, the vehicle lost motive power and stalled without warning. The contact was able to restart the vehicle and the vehicle operated as intended. A couple days later the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed the vehicle, but was unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was test driven and a secondary diagnosis was performed. The contact was informed that the crankshaft sensor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired however, the failure recurred intermittently. The contact referenced NHTSA campaign number: 11V139000 (electrical system) as a possible solution to the failure however, the VIN was not included. A dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 73,000.
Two things happening occasionally...1st is that sometimes I attempt to start the van and when I turn the key nothing happens as if I didn't even try to turn the key. One time just before this happened I could not use the key fab to unlock the door to the van, almost like the battery to the van or fab was dead, however both were new or fine. After pulling fab out of ignition and trying a second time van has always started without incident. 2nd issue is that on a few spread out occasions the van will quit shifting gears while excellerating causing the RPM's to rev dangerously. So far after getting to a safe place and turning the van off and restarting has cleared the issue...however is unclear what is causing and is very dangerous when you are on the highway before you realize whats happening.
