Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“As I was driving in town the vehicle started running very rough, I pulled over into a parking lot and then it wouldn't run at all. I had it towed to an auto repair place. They replaced a sensor. That did not fix the problem, so after a few weeks they finally diagnosed it as needing a valve job. I bought this vehicle new in 2007 and had it regularly serviced.”
NHTSA complaint #11254173, filed 2019-09, 80,000 miles“Frequently after filling up with gas at costco, the van stalls, especially while I am going around a turn. It has come close to causing an accident but I have been able to put it in neutral and get it started quickly enough to avoid getting rear-ended. Very strange and annoying.”
NHTSA complaint #10632326, filed 2014-09, 75,000 miles“The last few times I have completely filled up my gas tank - the vehicle has stalled. I have had to tried to stop and restart the ignition/engine a number of times for the vehicle to run. This is happening with full gas full-up and happened to me again last night. I have seen this as being a common problem for chrysler/Dodge minivans in a few on-line forums. Some reports have the vehicles stalling on highways and/or when driving. My vehicle is a 2007 Dodge Grand Caravan sxt.”
NHTSA complaint #10703843, filed 2015-04, 121,000 miles“I went to get my oil changed and there was about 1/10th of a quart drained out. The engine oil light never came on. Since then we have had to add a quart every 1,000 miles. This is uncalled for and have noticed on this site and on the web others have the same problem.”
NHTSA complaint #10470289, filed 2012-08, 59,000 miles“After getting gas, when I slow to come to a stop the car stalls out. It will usually start right back up and I don't have a problem until I get gas again. This is a concern as I am usually driving my children around and it happened after I pulled out onto a busy 4 lane road and had to slow due to an upcoming light. We were almost hit because the cars coming up saw that the light was now green. I put on my blinkers as fast as I could but that did not save us from nearly being hit as we were sitting ducks.”
