THIS MORNING AT 7:58 AM 7.16.2019, MY CAR JUST STOPPED. LOST ALL POWER, COULD NOT STEER, BREAKS BECAME HARD, NO LIGHT CAME ON INDICATING AN ISSUE. I WAS SLOWING DOWN TO GO OVER A SPEED BUMP AND THE CAR JUST STOPPED. I PUT ON MY HAZARDS AND WAITED A MOMENT RESTARTED THE CAR. BEFORE THAT AS I WAS DRIVING THE CAR SEEMED TO FEEL LIKE THE ENGINE WAS FLUTTERING (?) OR LOSING POWER THEN GAINING IT BACK. THAT FLUTTER HAS BEEN HAPPENING ON AND OF FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS, BUT NO LIGHTS HAVE COME ON INDICATING ANY ISSUES WITH THE ENGINE. I HAVE GONE ONLINE AND SEEN MANY, MANY POSTS WITH PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE CAR JUST STOPPING, TAKING IT TO THE DEALER AND DEALER NOT BEING ABOUT TO FIND A CAUSE. THIS IS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS, IF THIS HAPPENS ON A BUSY ROAD OR ON THE FREEWAY SOMEONE COULD DIE!. THANK GOD MY KIDS WERE NOT IN THE CAR AND I DIDN'T GET HIT!

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 full 2015 Dodge Caravan verdict →
