| Description of the problem | Our van has stalled numerous times while in motion over the past 2 weeks. There is no early warning when it will happen. It has happened in parking lots at 5 mph and also at at highway speeds. When it stalls, all electrical components still work, but the power steering and power brakes no longer work. It has never failed to restart. I have seen on nhtsa's website that there is a recall on the same vehicles made between aug 2009 and june 2010, but not my van with a build date of jan 26, 2009. The problem on the recall is that the win module no longer holds the key in the run position, it falls to on and the vehicle stalls. I also see numerous complaints on nhtsa's website for pre aug 2009 dodge grand caravans built prior to aug 2009, so i am not the only one experiencing the issue. The recall needs to be expanded. |
