| Description of the problem | 2008 grand caravan having dangerous electrical / powertrain problems. Van suddenly loses electrical control. Horn blows, windshield wipers run, washer fluid sprays, doors latch (or fail to unlatch) transmission goes limp. Several other reports of exactly the same issue are listed on this site. According to some posts on the web, there is an update for similar issues on the 2010s. Also, i am finding these same reports on dodge weblogs for other dodge vehicles, not just the grand caravan. This may be the causing accidents since there are so many reports. |
