I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2010 GRAND CARAVAN SE IN JANUARY. WHILE MAKING A TURN OVER A PUDDLE OF WATER THE CAR POWERED DOWN, I.E. LOST POWER STEERING AND ALL CONTROL. I THEN TOOK THE KEY OUT AND PUT IT BACK IN AND IT POWERED UP. THIS OCCURRED WITHIN THE 1ST 100 MILES.

I BOUGHT A 2010 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN SXT. THE COMPANY WILL NOT TURN ON THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS. THEY ALWAYS TURNED THEM ON WHEN I BOUGHT PREVIOUS YEAR VANS. IT HAS BEEN PROVEN TO BE A WORTHWHILE SAFETY ITEM. MY INSURANCE COMPANY WOULD GIVE ME A 10% REDUCTION FOR THIS ITEM. THE OPTION IS AVAILABLE AND TURNED ON FOR VEHICLES SOLD IN CANADA. I FEEL THIS IS A SERIOUS FAULT THAT WILL RESULT IN MORE CRASHES FOR THIS VEHICLE. *TR

This defect can affect the safe operation of the airbag system. Until this recall is performed, customers should remove all items from their key rings, leaving only the ignition key. The key fob (if applicable), should also be removed from the key ring. Chrysler Group LLC (Chrysler) is recalling certain model year 2009-2010 Dodge Journey vehicles manufactured June 29, 2007, to June 17, 2010, and 2008-2010 Dodge Grand Caravan and Chrysler Town and Country vehicles manufactured January 26, 2007, to June 17, 2010. Road conditions or some other jarring event may cause the ignition switch to move out of the run position, turning off the engine.

Consequence: If the ignition key inadvertently moves into the OFF or ACCESSORY position, the engine will turn off, which will then depower various key safety systems including but not limited to air bags, power steering, and power braking. Loss of functionality of these systems may increase the risk of crash and/or increase the risk of injury in the event of a crash.
