Description of the problem | Our 2016 dodge grand caravan stalls while driving. There is no indication when it will happen. When it does happen, the dash indicators light up briefly and the engine loses all power. This has happened numerous times while driving in traffic on the road. I have seen hundreds of similar complaints online for this vehicle. We are able to restart the vehicle after coming to a complete stop, but the check engine light is not on and there are no engine codes when we restart. Many of the complaints i have read state that the mechanics can't figure out what is wrong because there is no code and can't immediately recreate the issue. We have had the same experience. Yet it continues to happen. Over and over. My vehicle is in the 5th generation of this model (2008 - 2020). According to wikipedia, well over 1 million have been sold in the us alone. If hundreds (maybe thousands) of people have complained on the internet about the same exact problem with the same exact vehicle, then you know there are multiples more who have experienced this issue. Losing power while driving is a massive safety issue, not just for the vehicle that loses power, but for all vehicles around it. I am dating this as of 12/19/2020 because it happened to me again last night, but please note that it has happened repeatedly over the past few years. This issue should prompt a recall so that nobody is killed. |
