| My 2007 dodge grand caravan was parked in the driveway and my 4 yr old was able to shift the van out of park into neutral without depressing the brake or starting the vehicle. the van coasted down the driveway, across the street and came to rest in the neighbor's yard all the while with my 4 yr old in the driver's seat. i would estimate the vehicle was travelling up to 10mph down the sloped driveway. no injury or damage luckily occured. subsequently, the dodge dealership states the shift interlock solenoid failed. the dealership will not cover under warranty. i believe this should be considered a recall issue since this is a major safety issue and has been the previous subject of nhtsa intervention with the automakers. | |||

| Airbag warning light came on and took it to the dealer. the dealer stated that the front impact sensors went bad because the wire harness corroded and caused the open circuit, causing the airbag warning light to come on causing damage to the components. | |||

| We have a 2007 dodge caravan sxt. on two seperate occasion, i was at an intersection, with my foot on the brakes waiting for the light to change, and then the idling of the rpm started to climb very high, and the van started to vibrate, then when the light changed my accelerator pedal would not engage, it was stuck for a good 5 minutes. after which i kept pressing the pedal, and then it finally loosen, i heard a something poping loose when it happened and then the accelerator zoomed so fast when depressed. the second time it happened, same thing happened and then it got stuck again. the dealer service center, said that they could not locate the problem. has anyone else encountered this type of problem. i know that when i decending a steep hill, i can feel alot of vibration on my brakes. also my side doors does not open with the handle or the key remote, or overhead remote. you need to play around with the door handle on the outside for awhile before you can get it opened. | |||

| Air bag light came on and will not go off. per owners manual and other sources - this is a failure of the airbag sensor. cause is leakage into the sensor from road salt and or water. air bag is possibly in a non-working condition - thus leaving the potential for bodily harm if a crash should occur. manufacturer is not offering a fix at this time, and actually denies any problems with said devices. | |||
