This vehicle has the same problem regarding the wireless ignition module (wim) problems as the 2008 - 2012 of same models. My wife was driving this car with all four of our children while we are here in germany (active duty us air force) 2017 and the engine died with no warning/indicators. I was not in the vehicle so I though maybe she hit the ignition and it cut out. At that point we swapped vehicles and I have been using this car as my primary vehicle for driving back and forth to work 2017 - 2021. I am a aircraft mechanic with over 23 years of maintenance experience on multiple different airframes. I have personally witnessed the engine cutting out while driving no less than 20 times since (4/25/2021). I have been able to put the van in neutral and immediately restart the engine (while I am driving and this happens). This happens at slow speeds (residential area with children playing in streets, high speeds (while on the autobahn), during turns (driving on hilly curved roads luckily I haven't exited the roadway yet!), braking (at stop lights), while parallel parking; power brakes stop operating, power steering stops operating, gas pedal stops responding to input - all due to the engine that stops operating. What I believe now due to the wireless ignition module going from on position to accy a malfunction with in the wim. It's like someone just killed the engine, but all lights, radio, everything else electrical still operates perfectly. Mileage 135,000 miles there are no indicators that the engine has ceased to operate except that the rpms are at 0 (even at idle rpms should be around 1,000 rpms). No other indicator light illuminates. Connected obd2, no codes, I even drive with a blue driver attached and when it has happened there are no codes recorded. These cars are hazards on the roads and it is shameful Dodge will not admit their mistake!

I can be driving at 40- 50 miles an hour and it just shuts down. The power steering goes out and brake light sometimes comes on. I can't steer it. Once I was in a curve on a narrow road when this happened and I almost ran off the road. At times when I'm going about 30 miles an hour and it just stops on me. It will start right back up. It has happened at least 3 times. Sometimes it will start up and immediately die. At other times it will start and run fine.

- Georgetown, KY, USA

Pulling onto the freeway the engine shut off and even with the key in the on position the power steering and brakes were not available. I reached about 5000 rpms when the engine shut off and there is no check engine light. The van will try to turn over for about 5 seconds aftee I stop trying to get it to start.

Our 2013 Dodge Grand Caravan would start fine and idle fine. Once on the road driving around locally nothing more than 10 -15 miles from the house with average speed of 35-45 mph the engine would just die! no warning lights or sounds it would just die. You would have to pull to the side of the road and restart the engine. You then would continue on with your drive and at the next stop sign or traffic light it would do it again, the engine would just die. You would have to repeat the steps all over again and restart the engine. Another time my wife (luckily none of my 3 children in the van at the time) took a left hand turn and midway through the turn the engine died and lost all control of the van! no steering or brakes! almost sent the van off into the ditch and almost rolled over. Now the engine will just die even when idling in the driveway. Once again no warning. No mil identification light comes on and no codes thrown. Van has in the past 6 months had the battery, fuel pump, injectors and coil packs replace. None of which solved the problem. Dodge has no recalls for this VIN in regards to random engine dying even though hundreds and hundreds of consumers have expressed their concerns of the same issues. This van is very unsafe and does not belong on the roads let alone having a family of 5 travel in it. We feel Dodge is literally dodging the issue and this is unsafe consumer practice.

1st time June 2020: While driving on highway, suddenly warning lights started going on and off and on, van lost electrical power, shutting down all lights, windows, etc. Engine would not switch gears. Luckily, made it off the highway before the engine died. Towed to mechanic, could not find an issue after it was jump started. They tested it for 5 straight days. Could not drive the vehicle at a highway speed once this started happening, it would not accelerate or switch gears, top speed was 35 mph. Not sure of precise date off the top of my head, but it was July 2020. Exact date can be verified from mechanic and aaa towing info.

Current mileage: 102,201 I can provide repair shop bills and proof of the 3 times vehicle was towed in last 6 months!

For the last few years the van just turns off while we are driving it. Completely turns off- we could be driving on a side street or going 75 mph on a highway. It's terrifying. We've tried to have it checked and fixed but it doesn't show up in the codes when the mechanic checks it. This is a terrible safety hazard.
