Since i can't remember the dates of the other incidents i will start with yesterday june 25, 2014. i drove all morning running here and there and everything was fine. i stopped at the post office to mail a package and could not restart the vehicle. the van engine did not even turn over. the dash is blank except for the mileage. i called aaa for a tow and they found that the van was stuck in park and would not budge out of park. so it is still at the post office until we can figure out how to get it out of park. other issues. a few months ago, in the winter of 2013, the van was in my garage and it would not start. i thought it was the battery and so i turned off the radio and heat and tried it again and it started. this happened every morning with me taking my child to school for about a week. it never did it for my husband. i think i told the dealer about it on my next oil change visit, but they said they can only check it when it is happening. another time last summer (2013), the horn, and wipers and wiper fluid just started going off by themselves as i tried to start the van. i took the key out and pressed the door open and lock buttons to see if it would stop and it did. i tried to start the van again and it did it again. repeated the same open and lock procedure and it stopped. i waited a few minutes to start the van and it did not do it again. the following day as i was driving on a busy road, highway 278, it did it again. i had to pull over and i turned off the van did the open and lock button on the key and it stopped. of course it never repeated for my husband or ever again. *tr

Electrical issues. upon starring, car wipers will not turn off, windows will not open or close, car does not shift right / bucks, car has difficulty shutting off, the gps/tv flickers and the cd eject runs constantly even when the car is off. had it looked at by local non dodge mechanic and was told not to dive it as it was probably the tipm. called the dealer and described the issue and they gave me a service date of 14 days in the future to even look at the issue. internet sources say chrysler will need 30 - 60 days to order back ordered part. its scary to think that some folks would need to drive their car for 2 weeks in this condition before it can even be seen and even longer as they wait for a part. i don't think its safe to drive, if this had failed while driving i would be very concerned. *tr

As i was driving home from the store this morning, i was taking a turn onto my street when the engine shut off and i lost power steering and brakes. i was barely able to muscle the steering wheel to complete the rest of the turn and avoid hitting another car that was turning to go the way that i was coming from. the lady in the other car was looking at me in fear with her arms raised like "what are you doing!?" i tried to turn the engine on several times with no luck as i coasted down my street forcefully pumping the brakes to slow down and stop in front of my house. once i took the key out of the ignition and tried to restart the engine, it started. i did some research on the internet and this seems to be a problem with other models as well. there is even a recall on dodge grand caravans that were manufactured from 3 august 2009 to 17 june 2010 for this exact problem. i have read on this website and many others that this issue exists outside these dates though and that the dodge company is not doing anything. i have not consulted with my dealership yet but i am hopeful because they seem to be great people. whatever the case, i do not feel safe having my wife drive my children around. i do not feel as if she would be able to muscle the steering wheel without power steering during a turn in the event that the car turned off in the middle of a turn as it did to me. this is a huge safety issue and there should be a recall issued to encompass all the years that are affected and not just the ones where people have been killed. *tr

Van began making loud, grinding noise. noise seemed louder when steering more to the right. on visit to dealership for ignition recall issue, they looked at where noise was coming from - since they heard it when they drove van back to the service area. they said it was a wheel bearing / hub on right front. dealership said van was not safe to drive. it could cause an accident. it was a safety issue. is this a safety issue enough to be a recall issue? *tr
