2009 Dodge Grand Caravan Engine Problems

“The engine shut down after I hit a bump during a turn, I ran into a ditch and something is broke on the front passenger side. Loud noises coming from tire area. I have already had this happen multiple times and replaced the bearing. But when the engine shuts down every time I hit any significant bump in the road, even when on the highway and I'm being told there isn't anything they will do until the recall is finalized?”

“I was driving at about 30 MPH on a town road and the car randomly shut off. There was a traction control light that came on. All electrical still worked but no acceleration, power steering or power brakes. I had to slow down, put the car in park and restart the car. What if I was on the high way? What if I was crossing an intersection? My wife drives my 3 children around in this car. This has happened 3 times this past week. Never did it before. And I've already had the ignition switch replaced that Dodge sent out a recall for.”

“Vehicle ignition shuts off when in use while driving causing dangerous situations especially while in intersections, have had near miss situations due to this problem, chrysler says my vehicle is not included in their really, mine was made three months prior to their recall of ignition switches that were recalled for 2009 model Dodge Grand Caravan's, they do not want to replace my vehicles ignition switch which is doing the same thing that GM cars and recalled caravan's are.”

“When the vehicle is cold, and after I start driving, if I do no have my foot on the accelerator, the engine will just die. When it does, there are no warning lights go on and the steering becomes completely unresponsive. I must quickly put the car in neutral and start it again. It can happen multiple times before the engine warms up. It can just happen going down the road. I have had it to the dealer and another auto repair place and neither can figure out what is wrong. This happens quit often.”

“While driving on the fwy my van turned off. It was after driving over a part of the freeway that seemed to have a dip. My gauges went to 0 & I felt a loss of power. I turned the key fob in the ignition & it seemed to start back up. The gauges went to the max and all warning lights flashed red as my car does when I initially start it. On 8/11/14 I was exiting a driveway, the same thing happened crossing a 2 lane road. I didn't turn the key fob this time as my van turned off & then back on by itself. …”
