About 6 months ago my check engine light came on. The code reader said it was a misfire in #2. the vehicle idles rough and sometimes stalls while driving. While driving on the highway we got stuck in traffic, the vehicle stalled. Thankfully it started right back up. Another instance, I was backing out of my driveway, I stopped because a car was coming, when I proceeding to back out the car stalled. Spark plugs and engine coal were changed. Did not fix the problem. Other 2017 Grand Caravan has a recall for a very similar reason, but my VIN is not included in that. I feel it should be.

Takata recall engine oil cooler cracked at the base causing engine oil to leak over the top of the engine and down the manifold. This may cause a fire at the manifold area resulting in a possible injury to the driver. This happens when the car is moving and at idle.

Vehicle check engine light came on. Took vehicle to licensed garage for analysis. The code 2 indicated a replacement of the coil and sparkplugs need to be done. After mechanic changed items, the check engine light came on again. Took vehicle back to mechanic and after research and spending $604.71 in repair charges, my mechanic, after conferring with dealership personnel was advised there was a problem with the #2 cylinder. Took vehicle to orchard dealership and after additional expense found that they did warranty work on the cylinder. My mechanic advised that the initial repairs were unnecessary as the plugs and coil were fine. I contacted Chrysler for reimbursement. They denied same stating that I did not have the vehicle serviced at a dealership initially. Prior to the repair the vehicle would hesitate and balk when driving. This is my daughters vehicle [xxx] along with our 2 grandchildren. Chrysler did not admit to a vehicle problem with this engine until my mechanic went to the dealership. Warranty repairs were then made. Information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

While coming to a stop the vehicle will shut down. There is a ding like the a seatbelt isn't buckled, the lights flash and the vehicle just shuts down like someone turned the key off. This has happened both when the vehicle is cold and warm it starts back up but when it does the time on the radio is has to reset it self and the atc unit is all off and has to be manually reset as of now it's only happened while I was applying the brakes scared this could happen on the highway. I've only had the vehicle 2 weeks bought is used with 48000 miles on it.

On 01/28/2019, , after I opened the hood to exam the power/train and other components under the hood. I immediately noticed three wires and a yellow fuse attached to my battery/ I immediately asked "timmy" what these were and why is the engine so loud" he stated that he did not know. I asked, "may I speak to the tech that installed my transmission"" he replied, "I'm really busy.." he walked away while I was asking him questions, without any explanation or repairs. The Dodge dealer installed aftermarket wiring and a fuse on my vehicle without my permission and refused to tell me what it controls and why it is needed. "timmy" also stated to me the loud rumbling noises were normal. I informed him, that is not how my car sounded prior to the transmission failing.
