2011 Dodge GRAND CARAVAN Power Train Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1477424
Internal NHTSA #	11104313
Manufacurer	Chrysler (FCA US LLC)
Brand	DODGE
Model	GRAND CARAVAN
Model Year	2011
File date	30/05/18
Component	POWER TRAIN
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The van's engine shutdown while my wife was driving the van at night and barely had enough time to pull to the side of the road before losing control of steering. She had just made a right turn onto the highway. Towed the van to a local dealer and found the issue to be the diode on the alternator failing causing electrical feedback to the powertrain control module (pcm). So had to spend a lot of money to have the alternator and pcm replaced. I am aware other vehicle lines of 2011 have a recall for this specific issue and am unsure why the dodge grand caravan is not on the list. There needs to be an investigation and have this vehicle added to the recall.
