2011 Dodge Grand Caravan power train problems

“While the Emergency Parking Brake was activated and vehicle in Park in the driveway that is on a hill, the car began rolling down the driveway at a fast rate of speed with no one in drivers seat. 3 young kids were in car seats in the van with it running while we were outside of the vehicle speaking. All doors locked and it flew down the driveway almost flipping over at the bottom. We took the vehicle to the dealership we purchased it from on June 29, 2023 and they could not recreate the issue. No warning lights were on prior to this incident and when citizens that stopped when this happened, got in the vehicle to dislodge it from the dirt that thankfully stopped it from flipping, they verified that it still showed the E Brake as being engaged it was still in park. No police or insurance was called because there was no damage to the vehicle or children but the dealership was called. I do have video of this event but your website does not accept videos”

“VAN WILL BOG DOWN AND THEN JUST SHUT OFF. WILL ALSO TAKE 5-6 TIMES BEFORE IT WILL RESTART. THE ELECTRICAL GOES HAYWIRE RANDOMLY. FOUND OUT THE TIPM IS BAD AND THERE WAS A RECALL ON OTHER VEHICLES DOING THE SAME EXACT THING DURING THE SAME YEARS.”

“AT 46,000 MILES TIPM HAD TO BE REPROGRAMMED AFTER FUEL PUMP FAILURE DUE TO RELAY. REPAIR COST WAS OVER $2300.00. NOW AT 62,900 MILE THE ALTERNATOR BURNED OUT AND PCM HAS TO BE REPLACED AND REPROGRAMMED.”

“I THINK THE 2011 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN MAINSTREET SHOULD BE RECALLED. THE CARS ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IS ALWAYS FALLING LIGHTS COME ON WHILE IM DRIVING AND WON'T TURN OFF FOR A HALF HOUR LAYER NO MATTER WHAT I DO. THE AIR BAG LIGHTS ARE ALWAYS COMING ON AND THE TRANSMISSION IS FAILING WHEN YOU SHIFT INTO GEAR THERE'S ALWAYS A BIG GUMPING SOUND AND THE SHIFT GETS STUCK IN PARKED GEAR FOR MINUTES BEFORE IT WANTS TO SHIFT INTO GEAR. I'VE READ A LOT OF THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL CAR THEY SHOULD BE RECALLED ITS DANGEROUS”
