2012 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN STOPS RUNNING SUDDENLY WHILE DRIVING. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS OVER THE PAST WEEK THE VEHICLE WILL JUST CUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. SO FAR THIS HAS ONLY HAPPENED ON CITY STREETS AND NOT ON THE HIGHWAY. ON A LEAST ONE OCCASION I NOTICED THAT I BUMPED THE KEY. MAYBE AN IGNITION PROBLEM?

OK. I'VE ONLY HAD THIS VEHICLE FOR 2 1/2 YEAR AND I'VE FOUND AFTER A YEAR, IT WAS HARD TO KEEP GAS IN THE VEHICLE EVEN THOUGH I FILLED IT UP AT TIMES, IT WOULD STILL GO OUT , THE DOORS HAVE GOTTEN JAMMED, THE WINDOWS STUCK BECAUSE OF HEAT, LAST YEAR THE SEAT BELTS IN THE BACK STOPPED WORKING AND NOW I HAVE A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM AND THE VEHICLE WILL ONLY GO BACKWARDS. I NEVER KNEW THOSE THINGS COULD HAPPEN TO THIS VEHICLE. ALSO THE ALARM NO LONGER WORKS AFTER 2 YEARS. I HAVE TO TAKE THE KEY OUT JUST TO OPEN THE VEHICLE. WHEN I GOT THE VEHICLE , THERE WAS A CD STUCK IN IT AND RADIO DIDN'T WORK AND COULDN'T BE FIXED.
