2011 DODGE CARAVAN Electrical System Problems

SLIDING DOORS WILL OPEN AUTOMATICALLY AS I'M DRIVING. HEATER STAYS STUCK ON ON. WHILE DRIVING THE VAN WILL SHUT OFF. ITS A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN I HAVE 4 SMALL CHILDREN IN THE VAN WITH ME.

THE TIPN IS BAD. WE HAVE SEVERAL DODGE CARAVANS THAT HAVE THE SAME ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE CARAVAN. WHILE DRIVING UNKNOWN SPEEDS WITH THE AIR CONDITIONER AND RADIO OPERATING, THE ABS AND BATTERY WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO COVERT CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (8107 RESEARCH BLVD, AUSTIN, TX 78758, (512) 371-6863), BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 280,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

Mileage: 280,000

REAR A/C EVAPORATOR IS BAD, NEEDING REPLACED. VEHICLE HAS 57000 MILES.

AFTER DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS FOR 2 HOURS, WHEN RETURNING HOME AND SHUTTING OFF THE ENGINE, I HEARD WHIRLING NOISES COMING FROM MY FUEL TANK. UPON MOVING THE VEHICLE, 30 MINUTES LATER, THE VAN EXPERIENCED A ROUGH START. THE FOLLOWING MORNING, THE BATTERY WAS DEAD. AFTER JUMPING OFF THE VEHICLE, IT RAN SMOOTHLY BUT I AM CONCERNED THIS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN.

Mileage: 35

TAKATA RECALL -- I HAVE CHANGED THE ALTERNATOR, STARTER , HAD THE ELECTRICAL BOX WORKED ON BY MY MECHANIC. AT THIS MOMENT MY VEHICLE DOES NOT START AND HASN'T STARTED FOR A WEEK. 3 YEARS AGO THE VEHICLE STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC WHILE MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING. IT WOULD NOT START OR TURN OVER., HAD TO BE PUSHED INTO A PARKING LOT.

Mileage: 60,000

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE CARAVAN. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHOOK AND A GRINDING NOISE WAS HEARD. THE CONTACT SMELLED A BURNING RUBBER ODOR WHEN ATTEMPTING TO APPLY THE BRAKES. THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE CARMAX DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION, TIPM, ALTERNATOR, AND BATTERY FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURES RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 59,000.

Mileage: 59,000

ALL OF SUDDEN THE THE ENGINE FAILS TO RUN AFTER I HIT THE SWITCH TO THE CRANKING POSITION. AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS THE ENGINE WILL RUN. THIS HAPPENS A MULTITUDE OF TIMES. I'M AFRAID THE ENGINE WILL STOP ALL TOGETHER AND I CAN GET STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE. I'VE HAD THE CAM SENSOR CHANGED, BUT THE PROBLEM KEEPS GOING. NEED HELP ASAP. I USE MY VAN TO COMMUTE BACK AND FORTH TO MY JOB. HELP, PLEASE!

WHEN THE ALTERNATOR IS BAD THE CAR WILL GO OFF IN THE MIDST OF DRIVING IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET. I WAS UNABLE TO USE THE HAZARD LIGHT OR TELL THE CARS BEHIND ME THAT I WAS IN TROUBLE, THE KEY GETS STUCK IN THE IGNITION. YOU ARE JUST STOPPED WHEREVER YOU ARE. MY FAMILY COULD HAVE DIED IT CUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET.

Mileage: 125,000

CAR RANDOMLY WILL NOT START, CAN RANDOMLY STALLS AS WELL. BEEN READING THAT IT'S RELATED TO THE TIPM BUT CHRYSLER WON'T ISSUE A RECALL. THEY'VE ISSUED RECALLS FOR THE EXACT SAME YEAR FOR THE DODGE DURANGO, WHY IS THIS ANY DIFFERENT? HIGHLY FRUSTRATED FOR THE CONSUMER AND DANGEROUS FOR WHEN OUR VAN HAS STALLED WHILE DRIVING. COMPLETE POWER LOSS.

Mileage: 85,000

I TOWED MY CAR TO MY LOCAL GARAGE & THEY RAN A DIAGNOSTIC AND SAID I HAD A FAULTY TIPM. THEY COULD NOT FIX IT BECAUSE IT HAD TO BE PROGRAMMED AT A DEALERSHIP. I TOOK MY CAR TO SUMMIT DODGE AND THEY SAID THERE WERE "UPDATES" AVAILABLE TO FIX THE TIPM FOR $207. THAT DID NOT WORK AND THE NEXT DAY MY CAR WOULD NOT START AGAIN. THEY THEN REPLACED THE TIPM FOR AN ADDITIONAL $1130. THIS PART WAS RECALLED IN THE DURANGOS AND THE JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE, BUT NOT THE CARAVAN. IT'S THE SAME PART!! THERE IS ALSO A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST CHRYSLER FOR FAULTY TIPMS AND I FEEL MY PART SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER THAT RECALL/LAWSUIT.

Mileage: 77,700

I TOOK THE VAN TO DEALER ( AT THE TINME THAT IT DID TURNED ON) SPOKE TO A DEALER MAN AND HE CHECK THROUGH MY VIN NUMBER IF IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY FIRST (WHICH IS NOT) HE MENTIONED TO ME THAT IF I GET THE CODES AND THE CODES MATCH I WOULDNT BE CHARGED THE DIAGNOSTICCHARGES. I TOOK THE VAN (MIND YOU THEY KNOW AM A WOMAN ALONE AND VAN DOESNT TURN ON) TO AUTO ZONE GOT THE CODES. ONCE I GOT THE CODES PRINT OUT, I GOT STUCK BC THE VAN WOULD NOT TURN ON. WITH MANY ATTEMPS I MANGE TO TURN ON AND WENT STRAIGHT HOME. THE NEXT DAY I TOOK THE VAN TO THE DEALERS AND LEFT IT THERE OVER NIGHT. THE CODES HAPPENS TO MATCH AND THEY TOLD ME THEY COULD FIX VAN BC THE CYLINDER HEAD AND 3 SPARK PLUGS WHERE UNDER WARRANTY BUT THE VAN TAKES 3 EXTRA SPARK PLUGS AND PRESSURE SENSOR IS MALFUNTION AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED IN ORDER FOR VAN TO WORK PROPERLY. I AGREE! THE NEXT DAY HE CALLS ME BACK TO P/U VAN. I HAD ONE OF THE DEALERS PICK ME UP AT WORK, WHEN I GET THERE HE CHARGES ME $124.34 JUST FOR DIAGNOSTIC AND VAN WASNT FIX TO BRING THE NEXT DAY BC THE PIECES NEEDEDTO BE ORDER. I TOOK VAN IN THE MORNING JAN 12 HE SAID VAN WOULD BE READY JAN 14. JAN 14 HE CALLED ME THAT VAN WAS READY. I GO AND EVEN BEFORE THEY SHOWED ME VAN THAT IT WORKS, I HAD TO PAY $226.63 IN ORDER FOR THEM TO GIVE ME KEYS. WHEN I GO TO GET MY VAN AND TURN ON..... THE VAN DID NOT TURN ON... OFCOURSE I WENT IN VERY UPSET AND TOLD THEM I WASNT LIVING UNTIL VAN WAS FIX. THEY GAVE ME A RENTAL YESTERDAY JAN 14 AND HAVE NOT HEARD FROM THEM YET. DODGE COMPANY SHOULD REMAKE ALL THIS CARS BC THEY ARE CLEARY A PIECE OF CRAP. NOT ONLY THAT BUT THEY ARE FAST TO CHARGE $$$ INSTEAD OF MAKING SURE THE SAFETY OF THE CUSTOMER SHOULD BE FIRST. I AM VERY DISSAPOINTENT THAT I AM IN THIS SITUATION AND THE VAN IN FROM 2011 YEAR IS NOT OLD AT ALL. WHAT CAN DODGE DO FOR ME? I BET NOTHING

TAKATA RECALL, VAN STOPPED ON SIDE OF MAJOR HIGHWAY AND WOULD NOT START, HAD VAN TOWED TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALORSHIP WHO QUOTED AN OUTRAGED PRICE TO FIX VAN, SAID PROBLEM WAS THE "TIPM" MODULAR FAULTY BY WHICH THEY HAVE SEEN MANY, THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM THAT NEED TO BE RECALLED AND THE PROBLEM FIX, WITH SO MANY CARS WITH SAME PROBLEM THAT'S A BIG ISSUE. PLEASE HELP. *JS

Mileage: 135,000

DEALERSHIP TRYING TO HAVE ME REPLACE BATTERY AND FUEL PUMP EVEN THOUGH THEY KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. HAVING TO GET THE TIPM REPLACED. CAR WONT START EASILY OR AT ALL. SHUTS OFF BY ITSELF. HAVING TO PAY $1200 TO GET THIS FIXED. CROOKS!

Mileage: 135,000

I HAVE HAD AN ON GOING ISSUE WITH MY CARS BATTERY BEING DEAD AFTER BEING TURNED OFF. THIS ONLY HAPPENED AT NIGHT. MY DAUGHTER CAME HOME LATE AND TOLD ME THAT THE CAR HAD SOMETHING RUINING IN THE CAR. I ALSO HEAR IT AND TRIED TO START MY CAR AND AGAIN THE BATTERY WAS DEAD. I AGAIN CHARGED IT AND WAS ABLE TO START THE CAR AS I TURNED IT OFF AGAIN I COULD HEAR WHAT SOUNDED LIKE A MOTOR RUNNING EVEN WHEN THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS OFF AND KEY REMOVED. TO PREVENT MY BATTERY FROM RUNNING DOWN I REMOVED THE POSITIVE SIDE BATTERY CABLE TO SAVE IT FROM BEING RUN DOWN AGAIN. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP ON 11-25-15 AND TOLD THEM WHAT WAS GOING ON. THEY TOLD ME TO BRING THE CAR IN ON 11-27-15 AND THEY WOULD CHECK IT OUT. I MEET WITH A SERVICE AGENT BY THE NAME OF JOEY AT THE DEALERSHIP WHO SAID HE WOULD CALL LATER. AFTER, EIGHT HOURS I CALLED JOEY TO FIND OUT IF THEY WERE ABLE TO FIND ANYTHING. I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE TIPM AND IT WOULD BE COSTLY TO REPAIR. I TOLD HIM I NEED THE CAR BACK AND WOULD CALL THE CUSTOMER SERVICE LINE ABOUT GETTING THIS COST COVERED SINCE MY CAR IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD. HE TOLD ME THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY THE $128 DIAGNOSTIC FEE REGARDLESS. HE SAID THAT THEY SILL WANTED TO CHECK CAR AND CALL SATURDAY. I CALLED HE WAS NOT THERE , WAS TOLD I COULD PICK UP CAR AND FEE WAS WAIVED. I WAS NEVER TOLD BY ANYONE AT THE DEALERSHIP THAT THERE WAS AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH THIS PART AND THAT DRIVING THE CAR COULD RESULT IS LOSS OF POWER AND BRAKING. I WAS SURPRISED THAT THEY WAIVED THE FEE NOW I UNDERSTAND WHY. I HAD TO FIND OUT ABOUT THE ISSUE AND LITIGATION BY SEARCHING THE INTERNET. I WILL HAVE TO REPLACE THE BATTERY AGAIN, THE ALTERNATOR AND TIPM WHICH WILL RUN OVER $1500 WHICH WE CAN NOT AFFORD. I HOPE THE DEALERSHIP IS WRITTEN UP FOR FAILURE TO WARN ABOUT A POSSIBLE DEADLY PROBLEM . GIVEN THE PROBLEM THE COMPANY SHOULD PAY ALL COST TO GET MY CAR FIXED.

WE STARTED HAVING ISSUES STARTING OUR CAR IN OCTOBER. AUTOZONE SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG. A COUPLE WEEKS LATER THE BATTERY WAS DEAD. WE REPLACED IT AND $179 LATER THE PROBLEM IS WORSE. THE KEY HAS BEEN STUCK IN THE IGNITION TWICE. THE MECHANICAL DOORS STOP WORKING HALFWAY THROUGH OPENING OR CLOSING EVERY NOW AND THEN. GOOGLING ISSUES BRINGS UP NOTHING BUT TIPM ISSUES WHICH CHRYSLER HAS KNOWN ABOUT FOR HOW LONG? YET THEY CONTINUE TO REFUSE TO ISSUE A RECALL FOR THEIR MISTAKE LEAVING THE OUTRAGEOUS AMOUNT ON US TO PAY TO FIX. ARE WE REALLY WAITING FOR PEOPLE TO START DYING BECAUSE OF THIS FAULTY ISSUE? THE VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD! IF YOU CAN GET IT STARTED.

Mileage: 80,915

FAULTY TIPM MODULE, CAR WON'T START, REPLACED BATTERY, REPLACED SPARK PLUGS, ADDED BYPASS, AND NOW STILL WILL NOT START. STARTED IN JULY WITH JUST THE BATTERY DYING AND THEN AUGUST THE FUSES BLEW AND BETWEEN SEPTEMBER AND NOVEMBER I HAVE JUMPED IT WEEKLY. NOW IT IS COMPLETLY DEAD. JUMPING THE BATTERY NO LONGER WORKS. ONE LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER STATES THERE IS A 4-5 MONTH WAIT DUE TO PARTS RECALL, ANOTHER DEALER STATES THERE IS NO RECALL ON MY VEHICLE FOR THIS ISSUE.

Mileage: 1,003,000

THE TIPM MODULE WAS FAULTY, CAUSING THE FUEL PUMP TO EITHER NOT ENGAGE WHEN TRYING TO START THE VEHICLE, OR CUT OUT WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, OTHER TIMES THE FUEL PUMP WOULD REMAIN ON AFTER TURNING OFF THE VEHICLE...PUMPING GASOLINE FUMES INTO OUR GARAGE FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME. DODGE REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS WAS A TIPM FAILURE AND INSTEAD TRIED TO CONVINCE ME TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP MULTIPLE TIMES...WE DID REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP ONCE WHICH HAD NOT AFFECT ON THIS ISSUE.

Mileage: 70,000

2011 DODGE CARAVAN, WON'T START AND WILL DIE WHILE DRIVING. OCCURS 95% OF THE TIME WHEN STARTING OR DRIVING VEHICLE. REPLACED FUEL PUMP AND PROBLEM WAS NOT FIXED. NEXT THING TO CHANGE IS THE RELAY OR THE TIPM. WAS A RECALL FOR OTHER DODGE VEHICLES FOR THE SAME ISSUE.

Mileage: 60,000

FOR THE PAST SEVERAL WEEKS WE HAVE HAD INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS STARTING OUR VAN. IT WILL OCCASIONALLY DO NOTHING WHEN THE KEY IS TURNED, IT WILL ALSO JUST TURN OVER WITHOUT STARTING. THE SECOND PROBLEM SEEMED TO BE GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE- MEANING THAT IT WOULD TAKE MORE ATTEMPTS TO CRANK IT. THIS PAST WEEKEND IT WOULD NOT CRANK AFTER MANY ATTEMPTS. AFTER TROUBLESHOOTING MOST OF THE DAY I REALIZED THAT THE FUEL PUMP SEEMED TO BE WORKING ONLY EVERY NOW AND THEN. I FOUND A WEBSITE THAT INSTRUCTED HOW TO MAKE A TESTER TO DETERMINE IF IT WAS A FUEL PUMP RELAY ISSUE ON THE TIPM. SURE ENOUGH WE WERE ABLE TO DETERMINE THAT THE RELAY WAS THE ISSUE. IT CERTAINLY SEEMS THAT I AM ONE AMONG MANY PEOPLE THAT ARE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE TIPM. I HOPE THAT THEY RECOGNIZE THE SEVERITY OF THE PROBLEM AND RESOLVE IT SWIFTLY.

VEHICLE STARTED EXHIBITING PROBLEMS IN 2013. IT WOULD NOT START AT RANDOM TIMES FOR NO REASON. TOWED TO DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY DIAGNOSED IT AS A BATTERY PROBLEM AND THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED. THE PROBLEM PERSISTED AND WE RECEIVED REPLACEMENT BATTERY FORM THE DEALERSHIP. THE CAR WAS IT SET WARRANTY AT THE TIME. NOW, 2015 THE ISSUES HAS AGGRAVATED. THE CAR WILL START EARLY IN THE MORNING BUT ONCE TURNED OFF WILL NOT RESTART FOR HOURS AT A TIME. ELECTRICAL IS ALL WORKING BUT CAR JUST WON'T START. BATTERY HAS BEEN CHECKED IT IS FUNCTIONAL AND WORKING. WE HAVE EXPIRED OUR WARRANTY AND DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO REPAIR WHATEVER THE PROBLEM IS.

IT HAS BEEN ABOUT 2 YEARS WHEN I CONTACTED THE CAR DEALER WITH THE NOTICE YOU SENT ME. ALL THEY DID WAS DISCONNECTED THE REAR WINDOWS BUT NEVER CONNECTED THEM BACK. STILL NOW THEY ARE DISCONNECTED. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THEY WHERE GOING TO CALL ME AS SOON AS THE PARTS CAME IN IT IS AUGUST 25, 2015 AND STILL NO ANSWER FROM THEM. THE LAST TIME I CALLED THEM WAS IN JANUARY LEFT A MESSAGES BUT GOT NO RETURN CALL. WHAT CAN I DO SINCE IT IS AUGUST AND THE REAR WINDOWS ARE STILL DISCONNECTED. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO USE THEM. THEY DO NOT WORK. I DON'T THINK THAT THEY ARE STILL WAITING FOR THE PARTS. THEY ORDERED THEM BUT NEVER INSTALLED THEM IN MY VEHICLE.
