| Description of the problem | When i put my van in reverse 3 different times this past weekend, and in the process of backing up slowly it shut off. Twice i was backing out of my driveway, & it shut off in the town road. I had to restart it and continue backing up. Another time i was turning out of a plaza, where i had to turn, and when i backed up it shut off in the middle of a town road. Traffic stopped, for me to restart it and back up. On tuesday 10/23/18, i tried backing it out of my driveway to bring it for service. The rpm's went high, it wasn't moving, and was shaking. I shut if it off and had it towed to the garage. The cause of the problem is unknown. It is a big safety issue, and i didn't see any recalls for it online, and there should be a recall for the unsafe condition! I saw hundreds of similar complaints for dodge caravans shutting off. |
