Tl* the contact owns a 2008 dodge grand caravan. the contact stated that the check engine indicator remained illuminated. the vehicle was taken to doug henry jeep dodge ram (4051 w vernon ave, kingston, nc 28504) where it was determined that the vin was included in four pending unknown recalls. the dealer informed the contact that there was a steering wheel sensor that needed replacement, which would be at the contact's expense. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failures. the approximate failure mileage was 210,564.
I just bought my van used and the tire pressure light stays on (pressure has been checked) the check engine has now come on and remains on along with all the abs, traction control and brake lights have come on as well. the traction control light flashes while driving and the van will decelerate while driving. this happens while driving the vehicle. every time driving the vehicle
While driving on city street (between 20 and 30 mph) the vehicle engine shut off. the power steering and power brakes also stopped making the vehicle difficult to stop or maneuver to a safe stopping location. there was no warning of a failure and the only indication was the traction control/stability dash indicator. after the vehicle was stopped it was placed in park and restarted, then drove fine. there were still no indications of a failure (cel or ses light). no diagnostic codes were stored on the computer. because this happens completely unexpected, if it were to occur while going around a curve or in an intersection there is a safety concern.
While driving and while stopped at a stop light, the van will power down completely. engine turns off, power steering fails, and all electrical. the egr valve dangerously causes the vehicle to quit even while driving in traffic. this is a huge safety issue. i was traveling down the road at 40mph with all four of my kids in tow, when the power steering went out and vehicle completely quit. thankfully, i was able to pull hard on the wheel to pull over. after several tries, i was able to restart the van. the valve is apparently failing to send fuel to the necessary areas of the engine causing it to shut completely down. this has now occurred on numerous occasions and i no longer trust this vehicle as a safe and dependable family vehicle.
On saturday, july 21, 2018, a fire started in the engine, which resulted in an explosion and the van was determined to be a total loss. fire dept. and police arrived at the scene. the vehicle was in motion on a city street. a puff of smoke started, pulled vehicle to side of road. exited vehicle as the fire had started.
Van started shaking violently while driving. gets worse when i release the gas and when i put on the breaks. the shop has found that both the motor mounts and transmission mounts are broken.they said it is a known problem with this van and it is un safe to drive. also wire harnesses in sliding doors wont stay in the track
I was driving on a busy main city road at night, traveling around 35 mph when my van shut off and the wipers and horn went crazy. i lost all power steering and brakes. headlights also cut out. i struggled to get to the side of the road and into a parking lot. the front wipers stopped when i turned the key off, but the back wiper and horn continued for about 10 min. i did not have tools to disconnect the battery. suddenly there was a flash of all the lights in the car and everything seemed to be back to normal with the exception of the check engine light appearing on the dash. i was able to restart the vehicle and drive another half mile to my home. this is the first time this has happened while driving, that i have lost all engine power and steering, it is not the first time the van has acted out. wipers will suddenly start moving when i am driving or the horn with suddenly sound and radio will cut out. i have also had it go crazy with windshield wipers ...
In june had the tipm replaced as it was causing the horn to go off and stay on, the wipers to go off and stay on and other electical issues. these symptoms returned in the last month (i was traveling during the return of the issues) and this time, about two weeks ago, while doing 55mph down a secondary highway, the car's horn and wipers came on and the car completely shut off - the engine shut down. the dealer replaced the tipm again.
Driving down freeway and van stalled. coasted to road side. wipers go crazy when car is parked and drain all the cleaning fluid out. have not been able to clean windshield of excess dirt to see more clearly. car has gone crazy. everything electrical goes berserk randomly. never know what may or may not work.
Several times my van, whether i have warmed it up or just got in and took off, will spontaneously die. usually with in the first mile of driving. usually i just slip it into neutral and restart. this doesn't usually bother me since i live over a mile from any significant traffic but, it happen twice over our family get together in st louis. scary sitting in a busy intersection and your car is dead. has always been while the van is in motion. not really associated with any turning. this happens about 4-10 times a month. started about 3-4 months ago. *tr
When driving the engine stalls, the anti slip sign is on, i lose all power. the steering wheel is locked and no brakes! *tr
After change the idler puley driving back room car overheating

When driving the vehicle it has just completely shut off and you can put on the brakes or turn and it can cause a very bad accident. the hole van just completely shuts off while driving on highway in motion.
