2011 Dodge Caravan Engine Problems

“Only had van less than 2 years went to store came home turned van off but then decided to go out again tried to start van would not start tried 4 time then it started . Went to dmv when I came out van would not start called aaa tow came and tried to start after 4 tries van started , will be taking it to dealer this week wonder what they have to say about this. I'm still paying a car note on it.”

“Starting just after a year of having this van it would randomly not start. This has happened easily 50 times. Sometimes after 10 minutes it starts and then 2 times it has had to be towed. Have brought it in to the Dodge dealer we purchased it from approximately 5 times. Besides being told that they were finding nothing wrong, we were also told it was the battery. That was replaced and the problem still continued. We have a 2011 Dodge Caravan.”

“Van has shut off several times while in motion. Once while idle at a stop light. I spoke with a mechanic who told me it was the key fob. I changed to my spare key to see if this made any difference but the van shut off twice since then. There is a recall for this issue on the 2010 models but not 2011. This needs to be looked at asap. Luckily there has not been any traffic behind me when it has stopped while driving. I have 2 young children and this is a major safety concern. Does someone have to be seriously injured or killed before the recall gets extended to 2011 vehicles?”

“I took the van to dealer ( at the tinme that it did turned on) spoke to a dealer man and he check through my VIN number if it was under warranty first (which is not) he mentioned to me that if I get the codes and the codes match I wouldnt be charged the diagnosticcharges. I took the van (mind you they know am a woman alone and van doesnt turn on) to auto zone got the codes. Once I got the codes print out, I got stuck bc the van would not turn on. With many attemps I mange to turn on and went straight home. The next day I took the van to the dealers and left it there over night. …”

“Vehicle randomly will crank excessively and not start; once started will sputter out and die. First occurred on 11/18/14. Repaired at no charge. Was told that recall on same engine (3.6 liter) in jeep line but hadn't happen yet on Dodge Caravan. Replaced fuel pump (customer paid) and didn't fix problem”
