THE SPEED CONTROL FAILED TO TURN OFF WHEN THE CANCEL BUTTON WAS PRESSED. THE SPEED CONTROL WAS TURNED ON AND THE INDICATOR/LIGHT SHOWED THAT THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS WORKING. AS I APPROACHED A STOPLIGHT AT ABOUT 60 MPH, I PRESSED THE CANCEL BUTTON BUT NOTHING HAPPENED. AT THIS TIME I SAW THAT THE CRUISE INDICATOR WAS NOT SHOWING. I PRESSED THE CANCEL SEVERAL TIMES BUT THE CRUISE WAS STILL ENGAGED. I THEN TAPPED THE BRAKE AND THE CRUISE CONTROL DISENGAGED. FROM THIS TIME ON WHEN I TRIED THE CRUISE CONTROL IT WOULD SOMETIMES TURN ON AND SOMETIMES NOT. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL DODGE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE SWITCH. PROBLEM I SEE IS THAT THE CRUISE WAS ENGAGED, WITHOUT ANY INDICATOR LIGHT, AND WOULD NOT CANCEL.

2011 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN CREW-THE GAS PEDAL GETS STUCK IN ACCELERATION, THE DEALER STATES IT IS THE GAS PEDAL ASSEMBLY. THERE IS NOT A CURRENT RECALL, BUT THE DEALER SAYS IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND IT MUST BE REPLACED, OR I CAN RISK KILLING MY FAMILY. FILED A COMPLAINT WITH DODGE, THEY SAID THE "DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH COMPLAINTS TO ISSUE A RECALL". I GUESS THEY ARE WAITING TILL SOMEONE DIES. THEIR WARRANTY TO REPLACE THESE TYPES OF ITEMS ENDS AT 36,000 AND MY EXTENDED WARRANTY WILL NOT COVER IT. WHAT A WASTE OF MONEY THESE WARRANTIES ARE. I DOUBT I WILL EVER BUY ANOTHER DODGE! *TR

How to use these: a complaint is one owner’s report, filed voluntarily and published unverified. Patterns matter more than any single story. If several owners describe the same failure at similar mileage, put that system at the top of your
pre-purchase inspection list. Back to the
