My 2014 Grand Caravan has been having issues with not starting. I may have to try 4 times before it will start. This was bad enough, but it has also left me sitting in very busy traffic 3 times in the last two weeks. The first time happened as I was exiting off the interstate. The car just went dead with no warning. I was able to restart and keep going. The second and third incidents happened yesterday. The first time it went dead yesterday was as I was pulling out of my driveway. I was completely on the road and was in the process of trying to accelerate. My car began to shake, all lights came on the panel, and the car was dead. The second time this happened yesterday, I was slowing down to stop at a red light on a very busy 4 lane highway. The car went dead with no warning. We took this car to the dealership to have it checked. They said there was nothing they could do because there was no code. I refuse to drive this car, that we've had less than a year, because I fear for my life and even more for my child's life. This needs to be fixed immediately.

This complaint for the rear vent switch is just to express my frustration with the length of time it's taking to get the new switch. How long should it take when vans prior to 2010 had a similar switch that worked perfectly. This has been going on since 3/14, & shortly after I bought this used van I contacted dealers in AZ in 2/15 & the waiting list was too long. So I waited until we returned to mi, reported it in 4/15, & was just told they are just receiving parts for the March waiting list & so it will at least be another 2-4 months for me. I want this fixed before we return to AZ in Dec. Can't Chrysler be speeded up"?" thank you [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)..

Approx. 3 weeks ago my 2014 Dodge Caravan began to have acceleration issues. When getting on the freeway it lost the ability to accelrate and I drove 15-25 mph on the interstae for about 3 miles before it finally reached 30 mph and then began to function normally. The accelration problem occured several times prompting me to schediule a maintinance appt. Then on 7/23/15 my 2014 doge Grand Caravan started having issues starting; when I would turn the key it would sputter before catching and cranking. That evening I turned it off and upon returning it would not crank at all. When I would turn the key it just clicked and I could smell what seemed to be burning wires. It was towed to the Dodge dealership and I am awaiting a update on the actual diagnostic's.
During traffic at roughly 10pm, the charge indicator light came on. Our vehicle all of a sudden started losing power on the freeway. By the time we got to the next exit, we were losing power with steering, causing us to crash into a fire hydrant. We were able to guide it into a parking spot before losing the rest of the electrical capabilities (windows, lights, etc.). my family was stuck in that desolate are with no way to charge our phone and two sleeping young children. After getting it towed, the vehicle ended up in the shop for a little under 3 weeks for repair to the collision that had occurred. The electrical checked good. The next day, the charging indicator light again went on after being on the road for roughly 18 miles. Thank goodness this time it all happened in the day and we were stuck in a better area. After checking good again at the collision center, the vehicle was transferred to the Dodge dealer for further diagnosis. This is when they finally pinpointed it was an alternator issue. Thankfully the vehicle is still under warranty.
