| Description of the problem | After approximately 30 minutes of operation at 50mph my entire dash light warning system light up & then went dark. The vehicle engine died. As i was slowly coasting to a stop, the lights & vehicle spontaneously came back on & resumed normal operation. A check of the diagnostic codes recorded no incident & i cannot recreate the failure. About 2 weeks after that incident, i started my engine, began to reverse out of a parking spot, when the a/c unit stopped blowing & lights went out, clock & dash went dark. I pulled back into the spot, parked, turned off the ignition & restarted the vehicle, and the a/c, radio, panel has worked fine ever since. Still no codes reported during a diagnostic. Someone is going to get killed driving the 2010 dodge grand caravan! All the while, the manufacture denies that there is a problem with their vehicles. I purchased this vehicle new, this isn't the first time i've had problems with this vehicle. I am fastidious about service & maintenance of my vehicle, and have the receipts to prove it. |
