2013 Dodge grand caravan. A problem with the window switch for the two rear windows. *ta the consumer stated it shouldn't take 3 1/2 months to get a part to correct a recall defect. Recall # 14v234000. *jb

Vehicle would not start, took to garage they said fuel pump, still would not work, took back they said tipm, had it changed, got van back now the signal lights don't work took back they test it and guess what tipm again, so now after nearly 3000 in repairs and 800 in rentals I am waiting another week for another tipm not impressed at all. After researching this issue it is far to common and should be made a full recall, I know of four failures in the last week in my little area alone. Something needs to be done, this problem can affect any component of the vehicle from brakes to air bags to anything that is run by a fuse which is pretty much everything, someone is going to be seriously injured because of this if there hasn't been already.

My rear quarter vent windows were on a recall and I took it to the Dodge dealership (may 2014) where they disconnected the automatic switch to the windows. It has now been non-operational since then. I have contacted Dodge corporate offices and the dealership on a routine basis to be constantly told they have no idea when this will be repaired. This is beyond a reasonable time to fix something like this. Please help me as I would like to have my windows operational. Dodge simply does not seem to care and have no interest or priority in repairing this defect. Thanks *tr

The lock/unlock button on driver side door stopped working, rear gate is closed tight but indicator says it's open and all interior lights stay on while driving

2013 Dodge grand caravan. Consumer writes in regards to vehicle headlight switch wiring system. *smd the consumer stated the dashboard lights illuminated while the headlight switch was still in the off position. Any time the dash lights were on, many drivers assumed the headlights were on too. However, that was not the case with the wiring system in the vehicle. The consumer stated the vehicle did not come equipped with the auto-on headlight feature. The consumer's wife did not know the headlights were off, because the dash lights were illuminated, so assumed the headlights were on with the dash lights.

The passenger seat headrest deployed, the passenger was adjusting the seat to move back and adjusting the angle of the seat. There was no car accident to activate this action. It was startling to hear this and see this. It is highly defective in it's activision mechanism. The dealer wants to charge to fix this in the $1000. I see no logical reason for the head rest and now I can see if it deployed on the driver's seat, causing an accident.*dt consumer stated head rest has not been repaired.*jb

My van just shut off while driving. There was no warning. It just stopped working. Fortunately, I was in my neighborhood and not going fast. I was able to stop the van and put in park and start it again without difficulty . I have read online that Dodge knows this is a problem. This needs to be a mandatory recall.

Driver's headrest popped while vehicle was stopped. Caused pain and suffering for driver... Had to seek medical help (chiropractor). Dodge refused to pay for replacement for this safety device.

The first occurrence was when I was driving on an interstate, about 65 MPH, when the engine abruptly stalled. I changed several lanes onto the shoulder and call a tow truck, but before it arrived, it was able to start again, after ~30 minutes. This same behavior has happened 4 more times (total of 5 times in a year, or about 15k miles), sometimes weeks apart, sometimes months. The other occasions were slower, 25-40 MPH. The Dodge dealership was unhelpful diagnosing the problem, as all systems appear fine until the problem appears, which they unsurprisingly could not provoke. On each occasion, when we try to start the car again, it sounds as if it has no fuel, but after ~30 min. Of sitting, it starts again and drives just fine. It is very unnerving to always have to consider that the

According to the Dodge dealer that is handling the car there is a defect with the typun <the way it was explained it's the brain that reads the key> I believe that being it's not a problem that's related to wear and tear. Then it should be considered a recall and not a out of pocket expense.

On 12/10/22 the passenger side curtain and squib airbags deployed with no collision of any kind. I was picking up my disabled partner, who is under 5' and under 90 lb. I believe she would have been at significant risk of harm were she already in the van. On 12/12/22, I took the van to where we purchased it. The van is BraunAbility modified with an accessible ramp, the back seats removed, and it sits much lower to the ground than the unmodified van. First, I was told that they found evidence of a collision. I had long known of that damage: I had ran over a curb several years before, and, because of the modifications, the van tends to scrape on acute inclines, a problem they said at the time of purchase would sounds scary but was harmless. I was told that the tiny hole in the metal frame und
