RIDING ON A HIGHWAY GOING ABOUT 55-65MPH, THE ETC (ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL) WARNING LIGHT CAME ON, FLASHED AND BEEPED. THE LIGHT WAS A RED LIGHTENING BOLT WITH LINES ON EITHER SIDE. THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC AROUND ME, I WAS CRUISING AND OUT OF NO WHERE FOR NO APPARENT REASON, THESE LIGHTS CAME ON. I REALIZED THE ACCELERATOR WAS NOT DOING ANYTHING, I HAD LOST POWER. I COASTED INTO THE NEXT DRIVE WHICH WAS A CHURCH. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK, SHUT IT OFF AND RESTARTED IT. I HAVE GONE ABOUT 100 MILES SINCE THAT HAPPENED AND HAVEN'T HAD ANY PROBLEMS SINCE. THE TCS (TRACTION CONTROL SENSOR) LIGHT ALSO CAME ON AT THE SAME TIME AS THE ETC LIGHT, WHICH IS A YELLOW LIGHT WITH A CAR AND ZIGZAG LINES UNDER THE CAR. UPON RESTART BOTH LIGHTS WENT OUT. I AM CONCERNED THIS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN UNDER MORE DANGEROUS CIRCUMSTANCES.

VAN HAS SHUT OFF SEVERAL TIMES WHILE IN MOTION. ONCE WHILE IDLE AT A STOP LIGHT. I SPOKE WITH A MECHANIC WHO TOLD ME IT WAS THE KEY FOB. I CHANGED TO MY SPARE KEY TO SEE IF THIS MADE ANY DIFFERENCE BUT THE VAN SHUT OFF TWICE SINCE THEN. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE ON THE 2010 MODELS BUT NOT 2011. THIS NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT ASAP. LUCKILY THERE HAS NOT BEEN ANY TRAFFIC BEHIND ME WHEN IT HAS STOPPED WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE 2 YOUNG CHILDREN AND THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO BE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED BEFORE THE RECALL GETS EXTENDED TO 2011 VEHICLES?

IF VEHICLE IS TURNED LEFT OR RIGHT WHILE UNDER ACCELERATION THEN ESP ACTIVATES THE ABS SYSTEM AND CAUSES FRONT BRAKE CALIPERS TO ACTIVATE IN THE CORRESPONDING TURN AND ABRUPTLY STOPS THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AS THIS OCCURS WHEN CROSSING ANOTHER LANES OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I FEEL THIS ISSUE CAUSED CAUSED BY THE FAILURE OF THE STEERING ANGLE SENSOR WITHIN THE SCCM OF THE VEHICLE.

I TOOK THE VAN TO DEALER ( AT THE TINME THAT IT DID TURNED ON) SPOKE TO A DEALER MAN AND HE CHECK THROUGH MY VIN NUMBER IF IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY FIRST (WHICH IS NOT) HE MENTIONED TO ME THAT IF I GET THE CODES AND THE CODES MATCH I WOULDNT BE CHARGED THE DIAGNOSTICCHARGES. I TOOK THE VAN (MIND YOU THEY KNOW AM A WOMAN ALONE AND VAN DOESNT TURN ON) TO AUTO ZONE GOT THE CODES. ONCE I GOT THE CODES PRINT OUT, I GOT STUCK BC THE VAN WOULD NOT TURN ON. WITH MANY ATTEMPS I MANGE TO TURN ON AND WENT STRAIGHT HOME. THE NEXT DAY I TOOK THE VAN TO THE DEALERS AND LEFT IT THERE OVER NIGHT. THE CODES HAPPENS TO MATCH AND THEY TOLD ME THEY COULD FIX VAN BC THE CYLINDER HEAD AND 3 SPARK PLUGS WHERE UNDER WARRANTY BUT THE VAN TAKES 3 EXTRA SPARK PLUGS AND PRESSURE SENSOR IS MALFUNTION AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED IN ORDER FOR VAN TO WORK PROPERLY. I AGREE! THE NEXT DAY HE CALLS ME BACK TO P/U VAN. I HAD ONE OF THE DEALERS PICK ME UP AT WORK, WHEN I GET THERE HE CHARGES ME $124.34 JUST FOR DIAGNOSTIC AND VAN WASNT FIX TO BRING THE NEXT DAY BC THE PIECES NEEDEDTO BE ORDER. I TOOK VAN IN THE MORNING JAN 12 HE SAID VAN WOULD BE READY JAN 14. JAN 14 HE CALLED ME THAT VAN WAS READY. I GO AND EVEN BEFORE THEY SHOWED ME VAN THAT IT WORKS, I HAD TO PAY $226.63 IN ORDER FOR THEM TO GIVE ME KEYS. WHEN I GO TO GET MY VAN AND TURN ON..... THE VAN DID NOT TURN ON... OFCOURSE I WENT IN VERY UPSET AND TOLD THEM I WASNT LIVING UNTIL VAN WAS FIX. THEY GAVE ME A RENTAL YESTERDAY JAN 14 AND HAVE NOT HEARD FROM THEM YET. DODGE COMPANY SHOULD REMAKE ALL THIS CARS BC THEY ARE CLEARY A PIECE OF CRAP. NOT ONLY THAT BUT THEY ARE FAST TO CHARGE $$$ INSTEAD OF MAKING SURE THE SAFETY OF THE CUSTOMER SHOULD BE FIRST. I AM VERY DISSAPOINTENT THAT I AM IN THIS SITUATION AND THE VAN IN FROM 2011 YEAR IS NOT OLD AT ALL. WHAT CAN DODGE DO FOR ME? I BET NOTHING

VEHICLE STARTED EXHIBITING PROBLEMS IN 2013. IT WOULD NOT START AT RANDOM TIMES FOR NO REASON. TOWED TO DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY DIAGNOSED IT AS A BATTERY PROBLEM AND THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED. THE PROBLEM PERSISTED AND WE RECEIVED REPLACEMENT BATTERY FORM THE DEALERSHIP. THE CAR WAS IT SET WARRANTY AT THE TIME. NOW, 2015 THE ISSUES HAS AGGRAVATED. THE CAR WILL START EARLY IN THE MORNING BUT ONCE TURNED OFF WILL NOT RESTART FOR HOURS AT A TIME. ELECTRICAL IS ALL WORKING BUT CAR JUST WON'T START. BATTERY HAS BEEN CHECKED IT IS FUNCTIONAL AND WORKING. WE HAVE EXPIRED OUR WARRANTY AND DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO REPAIR WHATEVER THE PROBLEM IS.

I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH THE WIRELESS CONTROL MODULE FOR QUITE SOMETIME. IT CAME TO A HEAD THIS PAST TUESDAY 3/24 WHEN MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT START--HAD TO HAVE VEHICLE TOWED TWICE DUE TO ISSUES WITH CONTROL MODULE. THIS EXPERIENCE THE PAST YEAR HAS BEEN FRUSTRATING. DOORS LOCKED BY THEMSELVES WHEN THE CAR IS SHUT OFF; THERE ARE TIMES WHEN THE WINDOWS WOULD COME DOWN BY THEMSELVES DUE TO ISSUES WITH CONTROL MODULE. I AM UNABLE TO USE MY KEY EVEN AFTER CHANGING THE BATTERY.
