Hi, Both R03 recalls are done on my Caravan and Journey. I've have 2 recalls left on the Caravan, One part they had to reorder,(Defective). The other recall part won't be in until the middle of 2017.

Since I'm not sure what the idle rpm is I said below 1000 rpm. I did say I put it in Park. So yes idle. The engine revved up without me touching the gas pedal and the tach stayed at the idle rpm. I know the engine revs when you start the vehicle then drops down to idle speed.

Hi, I came back from the store and was backing into my driveway. I put it into park and then the engine revved up. I looked at the tach and it was below 1000rpm. I thought maybe my foot hit the gas pedal so I left it. My daughter was on her way out tonight for work and the same thing happened to her. She started it and the engine revved and she also noticed the rpm was below 1000. She took my car to work. I just came back from a test drive and it ran normal. There is a recall on my Journey. I can't remember the code but I think it has something to do with the ignition module. My Journey is a 2010 3.5L. Anyone have this happen to them? Thanks.

Hi, She did not say Patterson Chrysler, She said Chrysler Canada. It sounded like it came from over seas. Again it just didn't sound right. I will visit them tomorrow. Thanks..

Land line.

Hi, I just received I think is a strange call from Chrysler Canada. It sounded automated. But when I said hello she asked me about a call I made to Chrysler Canada around Feb 25 about a recall. She said may I speak to the person who made that call. I paused because this didn't sound right, Then there was a click and I said I don't remember calling but I did ask here (This Forum) about the recall. She then said I will make a note, Then click . It sounded like when I asked a question the automation clicked on with a question too, Didn't ask for my name or any info. Not very professional what so ever. Has anybody received calls like this. Thanks.

Hi. Yes last month. I was told again it will be a while. And he didn't have a timeline.

Hi, This is a question for the Chrysler reps that are members here. I received a recall notice for my 2008 Caravan and my 2010 Journey. I don't have the recall code as I write this but it has something to do with the ignition switch and keys. I went to my local dealership with the recall and was told it would be a while for parts. That was about 3 months ago. When I originally got the notice it was over a year ago because Chrysler said they were waiting for the parts to come in and that I would receive another letter when they were in. I didn't receive that letter. With all that said. Are the parts available or I'm getting the run around from the dealership. Thanks.

Thanks for the replies. It does make sense that it sounds like the engine shut off. I guess we would of checked the gauges as the problem was happening.I just remembered that we received a TSB from Chrysler about the ignition switch. I cant remember if its for the Journey or my Caravan. It said they don't have the parts right now and will send me a letter when to take it in. Thanks.

Hi, My wife just call me and said the power steering stopped turning and the engine won't rev. I told her to turn it off and restart, Seems everything is back to normal. Anybody have this happen? Maybe a computer problem?

Hi, No resolution. I've moved to far away to visit my dealership to keep up doing the oil consumption over and over again, I heard some people had new engines put in I guess they fought hard for it. Where did you hear about maybe a valve guide issue? It's to bad we can't get a answer. Is it the valve guides? Should I change to a synthetic oil? My car has over 100,000 Km now.

Hi, I can't believe they think this is normal.Seems to me these engines are a pollution problem.If Canadians are still doing the 5 yr. emission test and I fail............That's all.

I said earlier it wasn't worth having a heart attack over this crap. But I'll be phoning the dealership on Monday.Went in for a oil change today. My wife's going on a trip on the weekend. Just under 2000km before the next scheduled oil change. They pulled the dipstick and of course no oil on it. Maybe a litre in the crankcase. I had them document the findings. Seems to be getting worse. Losing oil faster. I think I'll phone the auto show on CP24 in Toronto on Sunday and get some professional answers on this subject.

NO NO,Don't drain the water from the mufflers.It's suppose to be there.It's when your stuck in no mans land after your Journrey overheats.You can drain your mufflers and fill your rad.I wish I had seen this thread April 1st. LOL.

Well I see I'm not the only one with this problem.I started oil consumption test at around 40,000km. I'm now at 75,000km. Started about 5 different test over that period.It will show no oil on the dipstick when the odometer reads 5000km since the last oil change.They keep telling me it's within the industry standard.Even though other consumers are getting new engines.So I final gave up.No need having a heart attack over this crap. And I'm a Chrysler employee here in Canada.100 years of building cars and engines burning that much oil.Why should I pay for extra oil between oil changes when another person who has the same engine doesn't.Is there a TSB for this problem?
