| Description of the problem | Had my 2009 dodge caravan's recalls repaired finally when parts were available in july 2015. Had the van tuned up and drove to florida with the false sense of security that the van would not stall while driving. My whole family made it to florida, but then the van stalled 3 times while driving at low speeds again! We were so afraid we would be stuck. I did not do it any more while on vacation and then did drive home safely. We had our children in the van and was very afraid that this could happen on the freeway. It is now november and the van continues to lose complete power while driving at least 2 times a week. It has happened at low speeds in the city. My children are afraid to ride in the van. I contacted chrysler/dodge who stated since i had the recalls repaired it is my responsibility to find out what is wrong with the van. This is crazy, dodge knows what the problem might have been and their repairs did not resolve the problem. This van was bought brand new and had had starting and stalling problems for a very long time. How can i get this resolved without out of pocket expenses, knowing this is known problem by dodge. This is not safe to drive. We are not rich and cannot just go buy another van. This is a dangerous situation for my family. |
