2010 Dodge Grand Caravan Vehicle speed control Problems

“I was pulling into a parking spot at sam's club in woodbury, mn. As I was pulling in, my van rapidly accelerated and hit the car parked across from me head on. It felt as if I was riding a bumper car and I was whipped around a corner. My vehicle suffered damages at approximately $2600--so it wasn't just a simple bump. I am reasonably certain that this was not user error on my part. The brakes were repaired approximately 2 weeks before the accident.”

“On january 7, 2017, I tried to start my 2010 caravan. It wouldn't start. The light was on for the electronic throttle control, as was the check engine light. This is the third time that this has happened since mid-december. The other two times after waiting for up to a week, it has started. After checking around, I have found that this is happening quite a bit to others as well. Apparently, dealerships have no clue either, as to what is causing this issue. It could be the throttle control, it could be the main electrical module, no one seems to know for sure. …”

“I had turned onto a highway and was accelerating and when I got up to speed, 65 MPH, I let off the gas but the van kept accelerating. I hit the brakes and it kept trying to accelerate while I was hitting the brakes. I checked to make sure there was nothing on the gas pedal and there was nothing. I was trying not to hit other cars and slow down so I could pull over. I didn't think to put it in neutral but stomped on the emergency brake with the regular brakes and it finally slowed down enough I could pull over but it still kept trying to accelerate. …”

“My parents bought a 2010 Dodge caravan new, and we were on a family road trip in california this month. Mileage was only at 3500 (m/l) when we left washington. It had just been serviced at the dealership before we left. Used cruise control on I-5 south through washington, oregon, and california. The cruise control was fussy and inconsistent, but functional more or less. After arriving at family member's house in ca., never used cruise control while driving because of windy roads. On tuesday, june 17th, 2014 (during our trip) , I was heading east on hwy. 12, west of lodi, ca. …”

“On april 17, driving at highway speeds the cruise control failed to cancel two separate times. Applying brakes also did not cancel the cruise control. Then, engine stalled at highway speeds on same trip two times. Several days later, engine failed to start. After several attempts the engine started. Suspect tipm failure.”
