2008 Dodge CARAVAN Electrical System Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	879260
Internal NHTSA #	10423111

Model Year	2008
File date	29/08/11
Component	ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Vehicle purchased in puerto rico with 40,000+ miles; replaced a rotor & all pads about 65,000 miles. Could hear noises coming from brake mechanism (noises went away upon replacement of brakes with oem parts). Around 70,000 miles the vehicle started locking itself without warning, at least twice with keys inside. Imagine a hot day and a child in a restraint seat and the car locked. I did notice that about the same time, the power lock switch on the drivers side became inoperable. Now at 78,892 the whole electrical instrument panel went on the blink (blank), except for the digital mileage indicator & 'gate ajar' . I stopped for groceries & when i went to crank the starter solenoid, nothing happens. Had to tow home & am told that local dealers are charging $1,000 to reprogram the computer.... No wonder less & less people are buying american brand cars. Any suggestions? I do appreciate the nhtsa efforts. Thankyou!
