 Description of the problemIntermittent stalls on cornering. My wife was turning onto our street when suddenly, the engine stalled and she lost all power systems like steering and brakes. She was barely able to avoid hitting a fire hydrant and some children who were playing near it. This is the second time in the last month that the vehicle has done this. I believe the problem is the same identified in the 2010 dodge grand caravan and town and county (safety recall l25). The key fob does not sit in the "on" position but can over-travel from start to a position between "on" and "acc". If you turn a corner or hit a bump, the fob will travel to either "on" or "acc". If it travels to "acc" your engine will shut off and there will be no codes. Since you will lose all power steering and power brakes, this can lead to a dangerous situation, especially for women who may not have the upper body strength to control the vehicle without the power systems. When confronted with the 2010 recall notice, my dealer has admitted they are aware of the issue in 2010 vehicles but because i have a 2009 they refused to even look at it. They will do nothing to help if they cannot recreate the issue. Having a lot of extra weight on the fob with other keys and such probably exacerbates the problem and is probably why dealers are unable to recreate since they will just have the fob and not all the extra weight that is normally found on peoples key chains. This is a clear and present danger to both my family and other drivers on the road. Please help get chrysler safety recall l25 expanded to all vehicle and model years with the same fob design.
