I bought my 2011 Dodge Grand Caravan crew in Feb 2018. In March my tire sensors starting going off, we replaced all of them with no luck, the gauges would still read they were out. In April, the camshaft sensor went out while we were on vacation, and we replaced it, in Florida. In may the camshaft sensor went out again, shortly after having it replaced for the second time, but guess what? it happened a 3rd time! only a week later!!!! so yet again, it was replaced. Our van would start acting possessed. Wipers would go off while driving down the road & while they were in the off position. The locks would lock and unlock by themselves while driving, seemed like every time it rained out windows would roll down by themselves over night or while we were in a store while the van was shut off. In June the van started stalling while we would drive it. It would randomly die while idling. In July/Aug I had my oil changed, the following day my van wouldn't start. While in the moment I thought the shop had done something to it, since I had gotten frustrated with them there, (poor fellas) that clearly was not the case. I was under the impression my fuel pump had went out, so I paid to have that replaced. Around Sept the van wouldn't start. It would crank but not start. My fuel pump would turn on, after turning the key on and off several times. In Oct the fuel pump would run while the van was off, we had to disconnect the positive on the battery so it wouldn't burn up. At this point, my van wouldn't start at all, and the van acted like it was dead. I went and bought a new battery, day after I replaced that, my van needed to be jumped each time I wanted to start it. Today on Oct 22- is my last straw. Thanks fca, a mother and her two young children had to find a ride home because it stalled and shut down while sitting in a drive thru.

When the key fob is placed in the ignition and turned to accessory no gauges work and the windshield wipers come on and will not shut off. The vehicle will start but the tach, speedometer, gas gauge and temperature gauge does not work. The windshield wipers continue turn run even though the switch is in the off position.

Started van one morning and left running to warm up, came back outside and it had died. The wipers were mid-windshield. Turned the key and dash lights illuminated. The van would not start but made a ticking noise upon turning the key. 2 days later I stopped to get fuel in the van. It hesitated to start, but did start. Headlights were very dim and faded in and out. Put a code reader on the computer and it threw a low battery voltage code. Put a voltmeter on the battery and it read about 10 volts while the van was not running. While the van was running the voltmeter read about 14 volts so it is charging. Have had several instances where power windows would not work or power doors would not open and had to be manually opened.

I parked my van in the driveway at 10:30 a.M. left to go pick up kids at 2:20 and the left rear window was all shattered on the ground and inside. I saw nothing of foul play. No rocks, bb's or any other objects. It just exploded. No one was around because the neighbors dogs would have been going wild. The weather was rainy and about 55 degrees so it wasn't the heat.

The problems began with the vehicle not starting on the first attempt. Sometimes it takes several attempts to turn over. The windshield wipers come on for no reason and won't shut off for a while. Sometimes the fuel pump continues to run even when the car is turned off. The battery had been drained completely and needed replacement shortly after purchase.

The contact has noticed that the display on the backup display is very dark during the day making it very hard to see anything, sometimes nothing at all. Also the contact has had problems with the passenger side window switch not functioning correctly, sometimes it works sometimes it does not. Also there is a problem with the display for heating/cooling system, it will adjust itself with the temperature and fan, it will be on front and back then go to just the front with a different temperature and fan setting, it will also change settings going over bumps in the road. It does this when there is extreme temperature changes or when there is any type of moisture in the air, it will be flicker back and forth constantly not allowing for manual changes of temperature or fan.
