2012 Dodge Caravan

VECHILE STALLS WHILE DRIVING WITH NO WARING. NO INSTRUMENT LIGHTS OR HESITATION. THIS NOW HAS HAPPEN TO ME 3 TIME. SPEED RANGING FROM 25-55 MPH. WAS ABLE TO GET THE VAN INTO NETUREL AND RESTARTED WHILE THE VAN WAS COASTING WITHOUT POWER. IT WAS A GOOD THING I DIDNT HAVE ANYONE FOLLOWING TOO CLOSELY. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. SOMETHING NEEDS DONE ABOUT THIS BEFORE SOMEONE HAS A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

HORN DOES NOT WORK WHEN PRESSING THE CORRECT AREA ON THE STEERING WHEEL. STEERING WHEEL LIGHTS DO NOT WORK AND HEATED STEERING WHEEL DOES NOT WORK. FUSES CHECK OUT OK. HORN SOUNDS WHEN LOCKING WITH KEY FOB OR WHEN ALARM BUTTON ON KEY FOB IS USED. DISCOVERED WHEN ANOTHER DRIVER TURNED IN FRONT OF ME WITHOUT LOOKING AND NEARLY CRASHED. THIS IS A DEFINITE SAFETY PROBLEM. CHECKING THE INTERNET THERE ARE A NUMBER OF CHRYSLER VEHICLES THAT HAVE THIS PROBLEM. VEHICLE WILL NOT PASS STATE INSPECTION IN CURRENT CONDITION AND I AM NOT DRIVING IT FOR SAFETY REASONS. *TR

I WAS IN THE DRIVEWAY THE FIRST TIME ACTED LIKE IT WAS GOING TO START THEN DIED ALL LIGHTS ON PANEL LITE UP HAD TOWED TO GALEANA DODGE FOUND IT WAS THE TIPM MODULE. COST OVER $1,000 TO FIX. TRIED TALKING TO DODGE CORPORATE TO TRY TO GET MONEY BACK AFTER NOTICING SO MANY COMPLAINTS AND NO HELP FROM THEM. NOW MY CAR IS BACK IN THE SHOP WITH SAME ISSUE, 3 WEEKS LATER. NO LOANER CAR AVAILABLE. MY ONLY VEHICLE. THIS TIME I WAS DRIVING AND THE CAR STALLED AND THEN ALL THE LIGHTS CAME ON AGAIN. WAITING TO HEAR WHAT IS THIS TIME SOUNDS LIKE THE SAME THING AGAIN. WAS TOLD BY CORPORATE TO POST COMPLAINT HERE AND MAYBE THERE WOULD BE RECALL THAT'S ALL THE HELP THEY OFFERED. WOW WAY TO KEEP CUSTOMERS DODGE. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED WAS ON 3/5/2016 THE SECOND TIME WAS ON 4/4/2016.

SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION - WHILE STOPPED AT A TRAFFICLIGHT -- OF THE DRIVER-SIDE SWITCHBOX THAT CONTROLS THE WINDOWS, DOORLOCKS & OUTSIDE MIRRORS. FLAMES ERUPTED FROM THE ARMREST MAKING ESCAPE FROM VEHICLE DIFFICULT. FDNY WAS CALLED & EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. THIS HAPPENED EARLY FRIDAY MORNING/SNOWING. INSURANCE COMPANY EXAMINED CAR & AUTHORIZED REPAIR. CHRYSLER SENT AN ENGINEERING SAFETY INSPECTOR WHO HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO A DODGE DEALERSHIP WHERE INVESTIGATION WAS PERFORMED. WE RECEIVED A "SAFETY RECALL NOTICE" [ P25/NHTSA 14V-234] LATER THAT SAME DAY. CHRYSLER HAS IGNORED MY CALLS & LIVE-CHATS FOR THE PAST MONTH. DEALERSHIP STILL HAS THE VEHICLE BUT CAN'T GET A RESPONSE FROM CHRYSLER EITHER. INCIDENT OCCURRED 4 WEEKS AGO! HAVE BEEN FORCED TO RENT A REPLACEMENT VEHICLE -- AT MY EXPENSE -- FOR TRANSPORTATION PURPOSES.

INSTALLED A CURTIS TOWING HITCH AND WIRING HARNESS FOR TRAILER LIGHTS, TWO WIRING HARNESS MODULES FOR TRAILER LIGHTS HAVE GONE BAD AFTER ONLY A SHORT TIME OF USE, CURTIS MANUF. SAYS THAT THEY ARE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM ONLY WITH CERTAIN DODGE MODELS AND SEEMS THAT MINE IS ONE OF THEM. THEY SAID THAT A RECALL MAY APPEAR DEALING WITH THE ECM AND SYSTEM UNDER THE HEADING OF "TIPUM". I HAVE CONTACTED DODGE ABOUT THIS BUT THEY DON'T REPLY. THIS HAS BEEN ON -GOING PROBLEM FOR ABOUT A YEAR. CURTIS MANUF. HAS REPLACED THE LIGHT MODULE UNIT TWICE. IF THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE CAR REPLACING LIGHT MODULE ISN'T GOING TO DO A THING EXCEPT KEEP GOING BAD. IF THE PROBLEM IS WITH CURTIS MANUF. AND THEY AREN'T OWNING UP TO IT, WHAT WOULD BE MY OPTION TO PROCEED? THANK YOU FOR ANY HELP YOU CAN PROVIDE.ALSO THE VEHICLE HASN'T HAD ANY ISSUES BEFORE OR NOW EVEN AFTER HAVING TWO LIGHT MODULES FOR THE TRAILER LIGHTS HAVE GONE BAD, WITH THE LIGHTS OR ELECTRONICS ON VEHICLE. *TR

2012 DODGE CARAVAN CONTINUALLY STALLS WHILE DRIVING AROUND ON THE HIGHWAY. USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN WE COME TO A STOP. OFTEN, THE VEHICLE RUNS ROUGH AND STALLS AFTER IDLING. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON REPEATEDLY, NEARLY WEEKLY THEN GOES OFF AFTER THREE SUCCESSFUL STARTS. HAVE TAKEN THE VAN TWICE TO LITHIA IN MEDFORD TO CHECK AND THEY LOCATED A RECALL ON THE HEADER. THE HEADER WAS REPLACED BUT THE PROBLEM PERSISTED. THE CHECK ENGINE HAS LOGGED MULTIPLE "MIS-FIRE" ERRORS AND NO OTHER ERRORS. THE PROBLEM, TO THIS DAY, HAS NOT BEEN LOCATED AND THUS THEY TELL US THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. MEANWHILE, WE CONTINUE TO HAVE "MIS-FIRE" ERRORS AND STALL OUT IN INTERSECTIONS ALL OVER THE PLACE. ON THE FIRST VISIT, NEARLY TWO YEARS AGO NOW, LITHIA ALSO DISCONNECTED THE REAR WINDOW CONTROLS FOR A RECALL. THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE AND THE VEHICLE WAS SENT HOME. JUST OVER A YEAR AGO WE RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO HAVE THE MIS-FIRE PROBLEM CHECKED AND LITHIA STATED THEY STILL DID NOT HAVE PARTS FOR OUR REAR WINDOW RECALL. THEY TOLD US THEY ADDED US TO THE WAITING LIST. ITS BEEN NEARLY TWO YEARS, I'VE RECEIVED MY SECOND NOTICE ON THIS RECALL AND I STILL DON'T HAVE CONTROL OF MY REAR WINDOWS. I BELIEVE TWO YEARS IS VERY UNREASONABLE TO WAIT FOR A RECALL FIX.

THE VEHICLE TIPM MODULE NEEDS REPLACING REGISTERED MECHANIC STATED THE MODULE MALFUNCTIONING IS THE PROBLEM FOR ME FUEL PUMP GOING OUT AND THE DRAINAGE OF TWO BATTERIES I PURCHASE. AND THE PROBLEM FOR OTHER ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS THAT HAVE OCCURRED WITH THE VEHICLE. TWO OTHER PROBLEMS; WHICH ONE WAS A RECALL WAS A MOTOR MALFUNCTION WHICH COULD HAVE POSSIBLE CAUSED A FIRE THE OTHER WAS A REPLACENT OF A ENGINE LEFT CYLINDER HEAD

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE CARAVAN. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V234000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM); HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.
