Description of the problem | I have filed 2 complaints regarding recall l25 for dodge/chrysler vehicles. 2009 dodge grand caravan completely shutting down while driving. Steering goes out, brakes out. Complete power out while driving. This is very dangerous and scary. I have children i have to take to multiple places. By the grace of god, the 5 times this happened, we . Were on slow moving, non busy roads near home. I have not yet experienced this on the highway. It would be potentially fatal. I usually drive in the lanes on the outside so if it occurs, i may be able. To pull off to the side. I have to take the highway daily to work. There were 5 occurrences, 2 in october 2014 and now recently 3 mores times close together, dec. 20, 23 and jan 11, 2015. I have contacted chrysler customer service 3 times. I was advised to remove keys or anything hanging from fob, i have and this does not help the issue or is even the cause. I do not think they know why this problem is occurring. Chrysler really needs to speed up the recall process before there are fatalities. |
