| Description of the problem | While turning a corner on my way to work at 5:30 am, my 2010 grand caravan with 13,835 miles totally went dead, i had the lights, blower on, the radio on and the rear defroster on, and everything went dead. No steering and the brakes were out. Since i was turning left, i had to cross 4 lanes of traffic with no power. I was able to pull into a parking lot, put the car in park and it restarted. I did have to turn the key to the off position and put it in park, as putting it in neutral and turning the key did nothing. I checked the dodge website for the recall information and it says that my vehicle is not in the listing of recalled vehicles. I have sent an email to dodge. This did happen 2 to 3 previous times while driving on the freeway, but the car just seemed like it was losing power, but then it came back to life-it did not have a total loss of power and it did not require me to restart the engine. |
