2010 Dodge Caravan

THERE IS A RECALL ON THE REAR QUARTER WINDOW SWITCH THAT MAY OVERHEAT . I RECEIVED THE LETTER ON THURSDAY AND BY SUNDAY MY DOOR CAUGHT ON FIRE, NOW NOT ONLY THE SWITCH MUST BE REPLACED AND I SUPPOSE ALL WIRING AND REST OF THE SWITCHES AND THE DOOR INTERIOR PANEL SHOULD BE CHANGE BECAUSE OF DAMAGE. I CALLED THE RECALL CENTER AND AFTER TWO DAYS I'M STILL WAITING FOR A CALL WITH INSTRUCTIONS AS TO WHAT TO DO NOT TO MENTION THE SCARE ME AND MY WIFE GOT AND THE EXPENSES IT WILL COST ME BECAUSE I NEED TO RENT A CAR UNTIL THE ISSUE IS RESOLVED. *TR

MY VAN HAS REPEATEDLY STOPPED WHILE DRIVING, APPROXIMATELY 10 TIMES FROM NOVEMBER 2014 TO JANUARY 2, 2014. I LOSE ALL POWER STEERING AND BRAKES WITHOUT WARNING AND HAVE TO CAREFULLY GET MYSELF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND SCARES ME ESPECIALLY WHEN MY FAMILY IS IN THE VAN WITH ME. IN ALL INSTANCES I HAVE BEEN LUCKY AND HAVE ONLY BEEN GOING 20-40 MPH AND HAS BEEN IN PLACES THAT I'M ABLE TO GET OVER EASILY. THE NEXT TIME I MAY NOT BE SO LUCKY. WHEN I GET PULL OVER I PUT THE VAN IN PARK, TURN THE KEY TO OFF AND RESTART WITH NO PROBLEMS. I HAD THE VAN IN THE DEALERSHIP FOR AN ENTIRE DAY WITH NO LUCK. THEY TOOK IT OUT SEVERAL TIMES AND COULD NOT GET IT TO RECUR. THEY DID SOME UPDATING ON THE COMPUTER SYSTEM. THEY CHECKED ALL KINDS OF THINGS OUT AND EVERYTHING WAS COMING BACK ALRIGHT. THEY ALSO COULD NOT SEE ANY CODES THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM. I DID NOT HAVE IT OCCUR AGAIN FOR ALMOST 2 WEEKS IN THE SHOP SO I THOUGHT MAYBE IT WORKED, HOWEVER ON JAN. 2, 2014, IT OCCURRED AGAIN. THIS PROBLEM REALLY CONCERNS ME ESPECIALLY AFTER RECENTLY READING HOW OFTEN THIS HAS HAPPENED TO OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME VEHICLE. *TR

SINCE 2013 MY DODGE GRAND CARAVAN HAS FAILED TO START ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. IT WILL WORK OK WHEN SUDDENLY YOU TURN THE KEY AND THE DASH LIGHTS COME ON BUT THE ENGINE WILL NOT TURN OVER. A DODGE DEALER CHANGED THE BATTERY BUT THE PROBLEM HAS PERSISTED. SOMETIMES YOU CAN TURN THE KEY TO ON SHIFT INTO DRIVE AND BACK INTO PARK AND IT WILL START. SOMETIMES YOU CAN SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL AND IT WILL START. OTHER TIMES NEITHER OF THESE FIXES WORK. RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM SHOWS IT HAS LONG BEEN A LONGTERM PROBLEM WITH DODGE AND CHRYSLER COVERING SEVERAL YEAR MODELS. NUMEROUS PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED STARTERS, BATTERIES, TIPM MODULES, WIN MODULES, FOBS AND NEUTRAL SAFETY SWITKENNETHCHES (TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSORS) BEING REPLACED WITH NO RELIEF FROM THE PROBLEM. CHRYSLER AND DODGE DEALERSHIPS ARE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM AND CORRECT IT. IT HAS LEFT US STRANDED IN BOTH COLD AN HOT WEATHER SOMETIMES WITH OUR 3 SMALL GRANDCHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE. I FEEL THAT THE SAFETY ISSUE OF THIS PROBLEM IS SOMETHING THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO IDENTIFY AND CORRECT. *TR
