Problems with 2010 Dodge Grand Caravan ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

The key fob locks the car if lightly bumped. the danger is leaving the keys in the car and closing a door which triggers the lock. this could lock one out in freezing weather or lock a child in the van when parked and closing the drivers door then trying to open the rear door to get a child out. i spoke to my office employee and similar problems with dodge key fobs happen to her and a friend.

While driving the 2010 dodge grand caravan it will just shut down. while trying to figure out the problem i found 2 recalls for electrical issues both having to do with the vehicle shutting down while driving. when i entered my vin it showed one that needed the ignition and fobs replaced. we took it to our local dealer tri-star of indiana and they say the recall was completed in june of 2016. i can't find any paperwork on this and it still shows up. even if it was done, it's obvious it needs done again because their replacement parts are defective just like the ones they replaced. i already informed them if anything happens to my family or me while driving this, they will be the first names on the law suit the dodge for not fixing the issue correctly the first time. this happens in town, on country roads, sitting at stop lights. the last time it happened my daughter was taking her kids to the doctor on tuesday 12/3/2019.

Engine shut off on 2 occasions while driving 40 mph on city road. luckily no traffic so no crash. power steering and power brakes went out as well. dealer said no open recalls. this sounds like wins recall that impacted some 2010 caravans

I recently purchased a 2010 dodge grand caravan. the car shuts off on me while driving . it will start back up after you put it in park and turn it back on but it just shuts off . it shut off on me twice on the highway with my kids in the car and four times while driving in the city.it makes this weird noise when turning left and the lights are flickering on and off. if that's not enough the doors seem to just open and close on there own the trunk shut on me while i was getting groceries out. i brought the car into the shop and they said they can't duplicate the shutting off and claimed they fixed the door opening in it's own problem .well the doors continue to open and now they are hard to open with the key and you have to manually open them . this is a safety concern and the dealer is claiming there is nothing wrong please help me.

The 2010 dodge grand caravan left hand side wiring loom wears on an aluminum obtrusion beneath where it lies. this causes the wire's shielding to be worn off and causes shorting. the engine will die when the wire contacts metal or each other during travel. this problem will cause the engine to die at road speeds leaving the vehicle without steering, brakes, and other safety related equipment. i believe this to be common and undetected because the wear point is on the underside of the wiring loom near the engine. the harness is hard to lift and inspect because of the location and lack of slack at the point of the obtrusion. vibration causes the short, the vehicle will normally start after coming to a stop when there is no friction between the worn wires. i believe this should be reviewed and analyzed for a recall because of the safety issue involved as others have stated but are unaware of the cause. i have added additional wrapping to limp my vehicle home during a three hour trip. additionally, this form would not let me select steering, brakes, or other safety features ...

The engine will cut off while the vehicle is driving. it does not stall or sputter to a stop, it is an immediate cut off. the vehicle has a brand new battery, and the alternator and starter passed inspection and tested fine. when the engine stops, we attempt to start it back up but the engine doesn't turn over. it will eventually start back up after a few minutes.
