While slowing down from 20 mph to make turn, engine shuts off with no warning lights or codes stored.

- Philadelphia, PA, USA

We bought this van used about a year ago. It dies suddenly without any warning in the middle of the road regardless of any certain factors. I have researched this several times with many other complaints similar to this one. This is very dangerous for my family and I cannot believe there is no recall. I am a mother of 3 and cannot afford to pay upwards of 10,000$ to replace an ignition if this is the issue, I am not in any way a mechanic but I have read/heard that is most likely the problem. Dodge, please do what is right for the people who put their faith in your company every time they put their families in your vehicles and recall this immediately!

Took my 2012 Dodge Grand Caravan to the tempe dealership to have the recalls fixed. Soon after they did the recalls my car would not drive off the lot they told me that the fuel pump was bad and it would cost $806 to fix it. So I told them lets do it. I get a call an the said its the tipm ! $1400 dollars later my car is still running pretty rough and not getting power and completely shut down while driving. So I call the dealer and they tow it in to tell me it is my fuel pump. So $800 they said its fixed and I should have nothing going wrong. 3 days later my check engine light comes on and a code P0456 evac leak! so I call the dealer and let them know. I then purchased a gas cap just to make sure that was not the problem. Light stayed on. So I get the van to the dealer and they had my van allday to say its my gas cap. Let me remind you I just purchased one. So they get the check engine light to go off and now everytime I fill the tank up gas fumes are soo strong in the vehicle and is running very poorly. Honestly im scared to have them look at it. I just want my van safe I have kids. Its my only vehicle.

I have a 2012 Dodge Grand Caravan the sliding door has been making a buzzing sound every time you unlock and lock the doors. This has been happening since 2016 and the dealership told me it would be $500 to fix it. I am now having issues with trunk opening and closing on it's own; even when it is locked. Not safe at all and already got stormed inside of my van; cause I didn't realize it was opened. They told me I would have to pay the fee to get it looked at and then pay for the repairs. I had a new transmission put in at 74,330 miles after they told me when I left the first time; that it was a computer reset that needed done. Then, they had my van for 2 weeks trying to get the transmission built. And my transmission is slipping again. At 139,466 miles I had all of my transmissions lines leaking and had replace all of them for another $500; cause there was no warranty from them doing my second transmission. My cd player eats my cd's now and my ac quit working. All in all I do love my van, but I am getting very angry at all the issues; that should covered under a recall and they are not covered. If anyone could please give me some in site on these issues; I would appreciate it. I am not in the position to purchase another car at this time with jobs not very secure. I am not even able to take my van many places; cause I never know when the truck will open on its own and then someone can just steal my van. I listed the last day of all of my issues below, but this has been going on for years and still not resolved.

Within the last week (May 8, 2020 - May 15, 2020) my van has suddenly stalled and died 3 different times. Incident 1 - driving on a 45 mph straight road when suddenly the engine died and lost power to all electrical components. After pulling off to the side and shutting the ignition completely off it started right back up and ran well. Incident 2 - driving on a 30 mph straight road. After just having crossed a bridge suddenly the engine died and lost power to all electrical components. Again, it started back up just fine and ran well. Incident 3 - pulled into a parking spot and placed the vehicle in park when the engine and electrical components shut off.

Once my van lost all power while driving on a straight road. Had to tow to mechanic's shop. Found no problem after testing. Once my van refused to crank, had no power. Had to two to mechanic's shop again. Both times the mechanic couldn't find a problem. Eventually the van cranked and drove as it should.

2012 Dodge Caravan loses power while driving without warning! no check engine light. No codes. Shuts off in any condition. Very dangerous! have looked up the issue in Dodge forums and it's a known issue that could possibly have something to do with the tipm on many Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep vehicles. It's an intermittent issue. Had dropped off my kids at school and went to put van into park and van died but on its own came back on. Loses power intermittently while driving on freeway. Can even hear loss of power through the heater/ac unit. Please fix this issue before someone is killed! only way to prove is to let a mechanic/ Dodge drive it around and let them find out the hard way. Issue occurs when going O or any speed.

Over the last 6 weeks, on occasion when attempting to start the vehicle- it will crank without turning over and running. This requires multiple attempts before the vehicle would run. It has become a more frequent event to include briefly running then shutting down. Wthin the last week, the battery has drained without casue- requireing charging. As of today, the failure to start issue persists requireing multiple attempts. This happens on a cold start as well as when the vehicle has been running/is warmed up. Ddiagnostics lead to a failure of the fuel pump relay in the tipm. This is a well documented issue for this engine/tipm however the Caravan has not been included in the recall as the druango and Jeep vehicles have been. The failure of this tipm has been documented to include sudden engine shutdown while in operation representing a significant danger to the public. Based on reviews of other complaints, an ordinary reasonable prudent person would believe that this tipm failure is a iminent threat to safety. The manufacturer should be required to expand the recall and repair to all vehicles equipped with the suspect tipm. Currently, a non recalled vehicle would have the tipm module replced at a significant cost to the owner or, a non dealership installed "recall" repair (new relay) installed that would negate any further/future responsibility of the manufacturer. Authorized service centers should be required to provide the option of paying for the "recall" repair when servicing a vehicle not on the recall list. Knowing this tipm failures potential, I would suggest that, regardless of any class actin settlement- the manufacturer be required to mitigate this issue at the least possible expense to the vehicle owner.

Vehicle electrical and engine shutdown suddenly while driving 30mph on the road. No power steering or brakes, had to pull over to the shoulder. Was able to restart the car and drive normally after a few minutes. Brought to dealer but no engine codes were discovered. Has recurred more than once in a 2yr period. Related to this electrical (tipm) problem, car often requires 3 or 4 attempts to start. Will sometimes start on its own several seconds after key stopped turning.
