Example complaints

“This is the 6th time my van has died on me while driving it. I will be driving at any rate of speed and my van will just shut off. If I leave it sit for 45minites it will start back up. Today it died on me in the middle of an intersection with three kids in the car. We have taken it several places and no one seems to be able to help us. We have replaced the tipm. No check engine light is ever on when it happens”
NHTSA complaint #11208103, filed 2019-05, 134,000 miles“Initailly battery light came on unexpectedly. 30 mins later while driving on the street, the car would no longer pull as if it had been shifted into neutral. Constantly shifting the car into neutral and back into drive I was able to pull onto a side street. I could hear a solid click when doing the shifting. Checked transmissin fluid and it was clean and at a good level. Battery light stayed on and eventually car would no longer start.”
NHTSA complaint #11229809, filed 2019-07, 117,000 miles“I turned off my 2013 Grand Caravan and noticed a sound like a fan buzzing coming from the rear tire area. In a few hrs I came back out and tried to start it and the battery was dead. Research tells me it's the fuel pump relay.”
NHTSA complaint #11282082, filed 2019-11, 150,000 miles“Since I bought the vehicle from a previous owner, the car all of a sudden stalls on the highway, a total shut down occurs while driving on highway or local roads. It is really a scary situation. When I looked into product recall on this vehicle, nothing shows up, except several complaints of the same matter. I found out from the web it is a failure of totally integrated fuel system failure and also related to a fuel pump relay failure. So far, no recalls from chrysler/Dodge manufacturers.no government actions either.”
NHTSA complaint #11396753, filed 2021-02, 160,430 miles“Tipm faulty in our 2013 Dodge caravan with 54000 miles. Van will not start..the fuel pump relay dangerously allows the fuel pump to continue even after van is shut off. These were recalled on thousands but only until 2012. Bought the van with 2 miles off showroom floor , never again will buy a Dodge.. Customer service says we are out of the crappy 36,000 mile warranty and conveniently ..this seems to happen after 45,000 miles in the Dodge.”
