We have classified the 183 complaints from 2013 Dodge Grand Caravan about ELECTRICAL SYSTEM into the following categories.
While driving on the interstate with cruise control on, the car shut off entirely after hitting a bump. the rpm went down to 0 and the gas pedal did not work. everything seemed fine as we were driving. we did not have any warning lights or check engine lights. the car simply shut off at 80 mph. attempts to turn the car back on did not work. this has now happened on two separate occasions. thankfully we were able to pull to the side of the road safely each time. we aren't sure if this is an electrical problem, since cruise control was on when the car shut off.

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.
About a month ago the driver's side sliding door stopped working in my wife's 2013 dodge grand caravan sxt. the lock will not actuate to either lock or unlock and so the door is stuck effectively locked and will not open. this is the only door that has this particular issue but a few times i have ridden with my wife i have noticed that the other door locks do not automatically trigger and auto-lock as they should when the vehicle is initially put into drive for about 10min after the vehicle has been in motion. the locked sliding door creates a safety hazard in my opinion since the door cannot be opened electronically or manually. the delayed activation of the auto-lock could also indicate a larger issue with either the door lock mechanisms in general or the electrical system that controls them. after searching online i have found that there is an abundance of issues like these concerning various years and models of dodge minivans. enough to possibly constitute a recall.
The lock/unlock button on driver side door stopped working, rear gate is closed tight but indicator says it's open and all interior lights stay on while driving
Defective window regulators. i work for a federal fleet and we have have several thousand window regulators on dodge grand caravans fail and be replaced, and even some of the replacements have failed. the manufacturer is well aware of this and has reimbursed my agency for some of the costs. the fact that they haven't opened a recall or extended warranty for the general public is complete bs and a total customer service failure on their part.
Vie owned the van for a year now . and then without being involved in any kind of a bump or accident. no damage shown on the of any .the air bag light stated blaring on the dash .im very concerned that if i was involved in a future accident. they would fail.
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.
Fuel pump runs all night drains battery and later vehicle stalls and cranks but doesn't start
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
Driver side passenger sliding door is stuck in the locked position. it will not unlock manually or with the key fob. obviously mini-vans are very popular amount moms with kids - this creates a serious safety risk. at the moment in the event of an emergency my passengers would only be able to get out of one functioning door.

As many have stated, i had intermittent stalling. after taking it to an independent repair shop, they diagnosed it with having a faulty fuel relay and are putting in a bypass kit. why wasn't the recall expanded to included the minivans by chrysler? the recall for this specific device failing was done for durango's and cherokee. $700 repair because the minivans were not included in the recall despite it being the same engine as the durango...
2013 dodge grand caravan 76000 miles. windshield wipers wont work. i was told this tipm is failing and needs to be replaced. dodge will not help replace or repair this even though this is a known issue. i was told by a chrysler dealership this is a known issue.the tipm is the command center for all electrical functions. there are reports of vehicles stalling while driving, air bag issues, windshield wiper issues, fuel pump issues. this is a very dangerous part to malfunction. yet, they will not help replace this. there was a lawsuit filed for these issues. why isn't there a recall. my family is being put in danger! dodge told me not to drive it if i feel its unsafe. what am i supposed to do? this is my vehicle that i bought thinking it was a safe reliable vehicle. this part is over 1000 to fix. please investigate and recall! this is a death trap waiting to happen not only for those driving but for others on the road. people shouldn't have to potentially lose there lifes due to a faulty part.
