NHTSA complaint #10547891, filed 2013-10, 35,628 miles“While driving our new Dodge grand Caravan the engine will just turn off intermittently when you come up to a stop or turning. This happened once and the dealer said they could not recreate it so they could not fix it. We were advised to bring it back if the problem happened again. Two days later the engine turned off while I was turning left at an intersection. This incident almost caused a serious accident and left me shaking. I drove directly to the dealer where the same story as before was dictated. They are keeping it to see if they can make it do it again. …”
