I have had the battery and alternator replaced. A few days after the alternator was installed, the car would not start again. Nor the next day. The mechanic kept the car for two days and could not replicate it not starting. A few days later it would not start again, and it continues to not start intermittently. All diagnostics come back fine. The left sliding door works intermittenlty and the window on the same door wouldn't close, but now does. The ABS/stability light was on solid, but is now off.

I have had my van switch not turn and then get stuck in the acc/on position and have had my key replaced. I am now having the same problem again and have read that the 2010 Dodge Grand Caravan was suppose to be in the recall for the switch, but I have been told that it is not. I am having to leave my key in the switch in order to drive the van because the switch will not recognize that it is in place and turned to the on position.

Not till after it was out of warranty and the exist problems continued didthey say they found the problem, they said it was the timp. Replaced for $1200, w 24 month warranty on new timp. No that new timp is acting up. Kills all electrical and engine, when taken to dealer, naturally no record of events in storage unit.

When starting the vehicle about 3 months ago the van began to stall immediately after it started. Today while driving the van shut off on me at a stop. Tried several times to get it restarted but after a few minutes it finally started. No one was injured or damage.

The van shuts of randomly and loses power steering and brakes. This has occurred multiple times. Multiple visits to mechanic have failed to find a solution. Based on online postings, this appears to be a routine problem that Dodge has failed to address.

There is a problem with my wireless ignition node (win) that causes my van's engine to shut off randomly while it is being driven. This has happened at least 25 times over the past two years, during times of high speed, low speed, and stopped at intersections. There is zero warning and the issue does not trigger any check engine light. There is a recall related to this exact issue (R03/NHTSA 14V-373) that has already been issued for "most" 2010 Dodge Grand Caravan, but I am told my VIN does not qualify! this recall must be updated to include all 2010 Dodge Grand Caravan as soon as possible. The repair needed to correct the problem is over $1000 and this issue poses a significant safety hazard!

My Dodge Grand Caravan, 2010, has started cutting off on me while driving. My stabilizer light comes on, rpms drop to 0, and I lose my power steering along with low break reaction. I feel this is very unsafe. I have changed several sensors to no avail. I started doing research and found that they have safety recall L25. Called my local Dodge dealership to set up the repair, only to find out my van was not included in the recall, even though it is in the alotted years (2008-2010). What am I supposed to do. This could easily cause a wreck
