Dealership still cannot pinpoint exactly what is wrong but the car does not start. One time it’ll start and the next it won’t. It’s actually left me stranded in the cold because that seems to be the only time it won’t start. It’s happened to many other grand caravan owners too. No mechanic I’ve taken it to can solve the problem I’ve spent so much money replacing parts on this car.

Vehicle randomly dies completely like no battery connected either while parked or in motion. Then after a few moments vehicle starts like nothing is wrong. No codes no warning.

My van caught fire. Randomly after not being driven for more than 15 hours. The investigator says it is believed to be the inverter in the back drivers side panel under the cup holders which short circuited and caught fire which engulfed my entire vehicle in a mater if 40 minutes while waiting for the fire department to arrive. The van is obviously a goner. Burnt to a crisp along with all of our DeWalt power tools batteries fishing poles tackle chainsaw and 4 brand new car seats that were just purchased with the last 2 months. Along with cracking all the windows on that side of my home due to the heat from the blaze...

The TIPM failed which caused a loss of power to the vehicle and power to the fuel pump. I was driving at approximately 60 MPH when the vehicle lost all power and the steering wheel felt locked. I was unable to turn the steering wheel as the Dodge Grand Caravan came to a quick stop as if it was out of gas. Luckily I reacted quickly and was able to avoid an accident. After approximately 10 minutes of trying to restart the vehicle and drive to a safe location the vehicle restarted. This happened again when I was driving and came to a red light at a major intersection and the vehicle stalled out as if out of gas and the steering locked. I again tried to restart the vehicle intermittently for 15 minutes; after which it finally restarted, and I was able to drive and get out of the intersection without an accident. I was lucky that this didn't cause an accident. The other times the defective TIPM and power to the fuel pump caused the vehicle to fail to start and left me stranded. I have had the vehicle diagnosed and the TIPM repair price is quite expensive. The vehicle did not have any check engine or warning lights before this occurred. I have read many similar complaints of this occurring with others driving Dodge/Chrysler vehicles. I feel that there is evidence that the TIPM and the fuel pump on the 2011 Dodge Caravan are safety concerns. Every experienced mechanic I have spoken with is aware of the common issue with the TIPM, and power to the fuel pump and vehicle. Although I avoided an accident there is a concern for everyone's safety.

The contact owns a 2011 Dodge Grand Caravan. The contact stated while driving 45 MPH, the battery warning light illuminated. The contact was able to continue driving to his residence. The contact inspected the vehicle and noticed that the alternator was burned and needed to be replaced. The contact towed the vehicle to the local dealer however, the mechanic was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 99,938.

Hi. The heater turn on and off without me touching the button to turn it on this problem is very annoying I almost had a accident due to this annoying problem. I drive a 2011 dodge grand caravan crew. This problem started 2 months believe me is very annoying problem. Need to recall this problem fix it asap. Thanks.

New battery is dead after sitting for a week or more. Has happened several times…

This vehicle always fails to start in the colder weather. After a review of this condition. It has been found that the fuel pump relay does not send proper signal. This relay is a part of the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM). When it fails to operate, the vehicle will experience long crank times. With its ignition switch style, as soon as you turn the key, the vehicle will continue to crank UNLESS you manually turn the switch all the way back to the off position. This condition will cause the starter motor to overheat or burn up. Eventually the vehicle may start then die. Fuel delivery is too inconsistent when colder weather arises. You can't just replace a plug-in-style replacement fuel pump relay since it is a part of the whole TIPM. This vehicle has not yet died in traffic or on the highway thank God. There is never any CEL illumination or any stored fault codes. It started doing this the first winter I bought it. This is my second year and it's only just Fall and it is acting up again. This is a KNOWN issue among these TIPMs that are on more than just this vehicle but many other Dodge/Chryslers with this same TIPM. Someone needs to take accountability for a faulty product that needs redesigned before these issues continue to affect the consumers that trust in their product. I hope that this issue is addressed and resolved before others continue to complain about vehicle faults, or even worse experience any catastrophic conditions resulting in death of consumers based on this faulty TIPM, that controls most aspects of the whole vehicle.

Vehicle windows intermittently would roll down on there own and car horn would beep, than vehicle intermittently would not start engine would just shut off. Vehicle, stalls when in gear and wouldn't restart. Replaced, TIPM vehicle seemed to go back into normal operation for few minutes than TIPM faulted again. I understand, NHTSA has investigated this issue with Dodge Caravan and needing to recall faulty TIPM.

Car starts intermittently especially when In colder conditions takes 3 to 4 starts , hard to start , put in neutral and starts right away ,car feels like it’s going to stall out when accelerating at times

My car was fine until one day in rain the whole dash and radio shut off and came back on repeatedly, spedometer bouncing each time. Took it to dealer/JDByrider and "they dont know prob/happens all the time" w a very "oh well" attitude. They did nothing. I called again when car ALSO started shutting completely off at long red lights. I was told next appt available would be 23 days! Thats still 4 days away. NOW in addition to dash/radio/spedometer problem the van doesnt just die at LONG lights, it dies if I have to stop for drive thrus, stop signs, short lights. The headlights have also started flickering very very badly. Im upset that repairs are supposed to be covered by JDByrider and theyve had me driving this dangerous car for almost a month before trying to fix it. Im not allowed to get work done on it elsewhere or else it makes future repairs on parts not covered by JDByrider. I have 4 kids and this car is not safe on road and Im literally not allowed to get someone else to fix it if I want it to continue to be covered by JDB. JDB blames Dodge. My car purchase was supposed to cover repairs and instead Im being forced to drive 4 kids around in car dealer cant fix and they claim Dodge dont know how to either. I should have never been expected to wait almost a month for this to be addressed.

DRIVING AT ABOUT15 M.P.H. I HAD TROUBLE STEERING AND NOISE WAS COMING FOR UNDER THE HOOD, I PULLED OVER AND I LOOK UNDER THE CAR IT WAS LEAKING LOTS OF OIL. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER,THE PROBLEM WAS A HOLE IN THE TUBING ON THE RACKEN PINEN STEERING .IF IT WAS ON A HIGHWAY OR ON A FASTER ROAD IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A VERY BAD ACCIDENT WITH OIL LEAKING AND COULD NOT STEER THE VAN. I WAS VERY VERY LUCKY.THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHT. I HAVE A PICTURE OF THE HOLE. I REPORTED TO CHRYSLER. Consumer stated metal that was replaced rusted.

Battery light turned on and vehicle immediately shut off. Got car jump to make it home and all electrical components went hay wire - all dash lights blinking - transmission wouldn’t not shit and accelerated by itself, headlights wouldn’t go on, windows wouldn’t go down. Dodge recalled every other car model in their line for a bad ALTERNATOR rapid failure, except Caravan, which should absolutely be included. It’s a know issue - car shouldn’t be dying while driving with under 100k miles.

It started a few months ago with my van not starting properly. After being stranded multiple times & it stalling once while driving, I had my mechanic check multiple issues we assumed the fuel pump was going bad. Nearly $600 later and a new fuel pump the issues continued until today when it is now dead! After searching I found 2010 and older models of my van were recalled for this EXACT issue, just not 2011! I don’t have the money to fix it and am pissed that while it’s the same problem it is not covered in the recall.

Vehicle shakes, dash lights flash on an off, doesn't want to accelerate, check engine light flashes occasionally. Mechanic has run diagnostic tests, the only code the vehicle is showing is oil pressure.

purchased van no problem mechanic gave great review following week wouldnt start mechanic said tipm is bad we had tipm rep[laced already 3 times and now its bad again this time i was with my family when van completly shut off on highway doing 70 miles a hour we have to carry a jumper battery pack with us to start van i called crysler and they informed me there is no problems with my vans tipm well thats funny google has over 45 thousand articles about these problems and nobody does anything about it till people die

Van has stalled and quit while at intersections and while driving on busy hwy. Have had looked at and seems that the TIPM is the problem. Same as many over vehicles that was recalled for this same reason suck as the Jeep Cherokees. VERY DANGEROUS for it to stall and quit in the middle of traffic, almost been rearended due to the stalling and hit at intersection due to it cutting off completely. Accident wating to happen and have someone be badly injuried or killed. This needs to be addressed and recalled ASAP. Dealership looked at this and stated the same. Please investigate and take correct steps on getting this fixed/recalled before someone is killed.

CAR SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. SOMETIMES WON'T START BACK UP. ISN'T RUNNING WELL. MOST LIKELY THE TIPM, WHICH SEEMS TO BE A BIG ISSUE FROM WHAT I'M FINDING WITH DODGE CARAVANS.

ABOUT 11/30 I WENT TO START THE CAR IN THE MORNING., THE FRONT WINDSHIELD WIPERS WERE ON WHEN I TURNED THE KEY, AND WOULD NOT CHANGE SPEED OR TURN OFF AS MUCH AS I TRIED THE BACK AND THEY WOULD NOT TURN ON. THE RADIO/ CLOCK DID WORK BUT NO LIGHTED INFORMATION AND SAME WITH THE SPEEDOMETER, THE GAS TANK, TEMPERATURE WARNING AND TACHOMETER LIGHTING. THE CAR STARTED, AND RESTARTED SEVERAL TIME WELL ENOUGH BUT THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS AND THE WIPERS DID NOT CHANGE. I TRIED TURNING THE KEY ON AND OFF WITHOUT STARTING THE CAR A NUMBER OF TIMES WITH DIFFERENT NUMBER OF TRIES BEFORE RESTARTING AS A POSSIBLE RESETTING WITH NO CHANGE. EVENTHOUGH IT HAD NO WORKING SPEEDOMATER I DROVE THE CAR FIRST AROUND THE BLOCK SEVERAL TIMES AND THEN TO MY LOCAL MECHANEC. I TALKED TO HIM HE DID NOT HAVE THE CORRECT EQUIPMENT FOR TESTING REQUIRED TO FIND THE PROBLEM. HE SUGGESTED I GO TO THE DEALER AND 1) SEE IF THEY HAD ANY RECALL OR UNPUBLISHED ISSUED REPAIR NOTICES ETC 2) GET AN ESTIMATE OF THE POSSIBLE COSTS AND TIMES FOR REPAIR. I THANKED HIM AND WAS IN MY CAR AGAIN WITHIN 15 MINUTES AND THE TOTAL PROBLEMS WENT AWAY, FRONT WIPERS OFF AND ALL THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS WORKED. THE CAR WORKED FOR 4 MORE TRIPS OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS. ON DEC 3RD 2020, I STARTED THE CAR JUST FINE WENT ON THE EXPRESS WAY FOR THE FIRST TIME FOR A ABOUT 35 MINUTES TRIP. ABOUT 8 MINUTES INTO THE EXPRESSWAY DRIVE THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS WENT OUT AND THE WIPER WENT ON FOR ABOUT 1.5 MINUTES, BUT BEFORE I COULD EXIT THE EXPRESSWAY THEY WENT BACK ON AND I COULD TURN OFF THE WIPERS, A FEW MINUTES THEY WENT OUT AGAIN AND JUST AS SUDDENLY IN 2 MINUTES THEY WERE WORKING AGAIN. THERE WAS A THIRD TIME BEFORE MY EXIT THAT LASTED ONLY ABOUT 1 MINUTE. WHEN I GOT OFF AT THE USUAL EXIT I PARKED & TRIED TO SEE THE PROBLEM AGAIN FOR NEARLY 20 MINUTES WITH NO LUCK, I CONTINUED THE TRIP AND IT WAS UNEVENTFUL AS DRIVE BACK & SINCE NO PROBLEM.

I THINK THE 2011 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN MAINSTREET SHOULD BE RECALLED. THE CARS ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IS ALWAYS FALLING LIGHTS COME ON WHILE IM DRIVING AND WON'T TURN OFF FOR A HALF HOUR LAYER NO MATTER WHAT I DO. THE AIR BAG LIGHTS ARE ALWAYS COMING ON AND THE TRANSMISSION IS FAILING WHEN YOU SHIFT INTO GEAR THERE'S ALWAYS A BIG GUMPING SOUND AND THE SHIFT GETS STUCK IN PARKED GEAR FOR MINUTES BEFORE IT WANTS TO SHIFT INTO GEAR. I'VE READ A LOT OF THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL CAR THEY SHOULD BE RECALLED ITS DANGEROUS

VAN WON'T START SEVERAL TIME A WEEK BECAUSE OF A FAULTY T.I.P.M. DODGE KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND WON'T WARRANTY IT BECAUSE THEY HAVE NOT BEEN FORCED TO RECALL THIS PART/PROBLEM.

THERE ARE SEVERAL PLACES ON THE INTERNET THAT REBUILDS THESE T.I.P.M.'S BECAUSE OF KNOWN PROBLEMS. DODGE EVEN HAS A BYPASS TO THE FUEL PUMP AS AN AFTERMARKET PART TO FIX SOME OF THESE ISSUES BUT NOT ALL OF THE PROBLEMS.THE FUEL PUMP RELAY HAS INTERMITTENT POWER TO THE RELAY AND THAT IS CAUSING THE NO START PROBLEM. THE INTERNET HAS PAGE AFTER PAGE'S OF CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS THAT HAS HAD OR HAVING THIS PROBLEM. THIS HAPPENS ALL TIMES DURING THE DAY WHEN STATIONARY. VAN CAN WORK PERFECT THEN WE STOP AND GET OUT AND A FEW MINUTES LATER WE GET BACK IN AND VAN CRANKS BUT WON'T START.

IT STARTED WITH MY VEHICLE NOT STARTING INTERMITTENTLY. AS THE PROBLEM GOT WORSE AT FIRST WE THOUGHT IT MAY BE THE FUEL PUMP. AFTER EXTENSIVE SEARCHING IT WAS REVEALED TO BE A FAULTY TIPM MODULE THAT CAUSES ISSUES WITH THE FUEL SYSTEM. I CONTACTED DODGE AND THEY VALIDATED THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. THERE HAS BEEN RECALLS LISTED FOR MOST VEHICLES WITH THIS SAME MODULE, HOWEVER NOT FOR THE DODGE GRAND CARAVAN, I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY. THE ISSUE HAS NOW ESCALATED. WHILE DRIVING IN THE PITCH DARK TO WORK THE VEHICLE STARTED ACTING FUNNY, THEN ALL POWER SHUT OFF, STEERING LOCKED, FOB LOCKED IN IGNITION, NO LIGHTS, NO BLINKERS, RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WHILE DRIVING. I HAD JUST DROPPED OFF MY SON SO GLAD HE WASN'T WITH ME. IT SEEMS THE PROBLEM ALL GOES BACK TO THE TIPM WHICH HAS BEEN DRAINING MY BATTERY AND CAUSING OTHER ELECTRICAL ISSUES. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. I CONTACTED DODGE AND THEY REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING TO HELP BECAUSE MY VEHICLE IS "OUTSIDE THE WARRANTY". I EXPLAINED HOW THIS PROBLEM DOESN'T EVEN START UNTIL APPROX. 70,000 MILES(I'M CURRENTLY AT 60,000). BEYOND THAT THE WARRANT Y WAS EXPIRED WHEN I PURCHASED IT USED FROM THE DODGE DEALER 3 YEARS AGO. I'VE CONTACTED DODGE NUMEROUS TIMES AND NO ONE OF ANY STATURE WILL EVEN TALK TO ME SINCE THE CASEWORKER CALLED THE CASE "CLOSED" BASED ON THE WARRANTY. I THINK THIS IS IMMORAL ON THE PART OF DODGE BEING THAT THIS HAS BEEN A PERSISTENT PROBLEM WITH THESES MODULES THAT GOES AS FAR BACK AS 2010, YET THEY CONTINUED TO USE IT. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE SO MY WIFE CAN MOVE MY CHILD AROUND SAFELY, AND AM SCARED TO EVEN LET HER DRIVE IT. AT THE MOMENT NO ONE IS DRIVING IT BECAUSE IT DIED ON THE ROAD AND SMELLS LIKE THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WAS BURNING. I AM CURRENTLY LOOKING FOR A WAY TO FIX THIS ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE CARAVAN VEHICLE WOULD NOT IMMEDIATELY START OWNER BECAME STRANDED FUSE FAULTY, ELECTRICAL FAULT THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ATTEMPTING TO START THE ENGINE THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT IMMEDIATELY START. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER JIM RIEHO JEEP(32899 VAN DYKE, WARREN MI.) WHO REPLACED THE STARTER BUT THE FAILURES CONTINUED TO OCCUR. THE CONTACT DISCOVERED A TSB(08-02411 REV-A) RELATED TO THE FAILURE WHICH REFERENCED THE M27 FUSE REPAIR. THE M27 FUSE WAS PULL OUT AND RESET AND THE FAILURE WAS CORRECTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000.

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING WITH MY 4 KIDS AGED 13, 11, 8 AND 3 WHEN THE CARAVAN STALLED WHILE IN MOTION AT THE RED LIGHT NEAR A MAJOR INTERSECTION WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. WITH NO POWER STEERING OR BREAKS, THE VAN STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION AND ON COMING TRAFFIC HAD TO BREAK HARD TO PREVENT A COLLISION. BOULEVARD DODGE CHRYSLER DIAGNOSED THE ISSUE AS FAULTY ELECTRICAL ISSUE WITH THE FUEL PUMP. THE REPAIR COST ME $478 (DEC. 3 2018). ON TUESDAY JAN 15 2019 THE CAR STARTED DIFFERENT ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. WHEN I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE SAME DEALER THEY TOLD ME THE CAUSE IS THE TIPM WHICH WOULD COST ABOUT $2000. WHEN I STARTED MY RESEARCH I REALIZED THAT BOTH ISSUE ARE RELATED AND CAUSED BY THE TIPM. THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH MANY MODELS OF FCA WHICH SOME VEHICLES HAD RECALLS FROM FCA. I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS EXPERIENCES STALLING DUE TO TIPM ISSUE ON CARAVAN. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE AND NHTSA AS WELL AS TRANSPORT CANADA HAS TO PROTECT THE PUBLIC BEFORE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT OR DEATH OCCURS. ON FEB 14 I HAD MORE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS THIS TIME WITH AN IGNITION COIL DEFAULT DUE TO THE TIPM. REPAIR COST $ 265.90. ON AUGUST 29 THE CAR STALLED AGAIN IN MOTION WHILE DRIVING ON THE SERVICE ROAD OF A MAJOR HIGHWAY. THEREFORE NO POWER BRAKES OR STEERING. THAT IS BESIDE THE FACT THAT THE CAR WON'T START OR HAS DIFFERENT FLASHING LIGHTS ON THE DASH BOARD.

INTERNAL FUEL PUMP RELAY FAILURE WITHIN TIPM

THERE IS A FAULTY TIPM IN MY 2011 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. THIS CAUSES MY VEHICLE TO STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD OR NOT START WHEN I AM AWAY FROM HOME. WE HAVE BEEN STUCK BLOCKING TRAFFIC ON THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY HIGHWAY MULTIPLE TIMES DUE TO A FUEL PUMP RELAY THAT STOPS WORKING AND DISRUPTS GAS FLOW TO THE ENGINE. CURRENTLY MY CAR IS DISABLED DUE TO THIS TIPM. DIESEL DODGE VEHICLES ARE UNSAFE DUE TO THE DISRUPTION IN THE POWER MODULE THAT SUPPLIES EVERY SYSTEM IN THE CAR WITH POWER TO KEEP THE VEHICLE RUNNING. AS I WAS DRIVING TODAY, MY AIR CONDITIONER STOPPED, ALL LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD LIT UP AND I'LL TRY AM IS IN THE CAR WE'RE ARRANGING THIS CAUSED ME TO TURN AND GO HOME IMMEDIATELY SO I WOULD NOT GET STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. ONCE I GOT HOME I WAS ON ABLE TO START MY VEHICLE AND IT CURRENTLY HAS NO POWER AT ALL

MY VEHICLE WAS AT JEFF WYLER CHRYSLER, DODGE AND JEEP IN BATAVIA, OHIO FOR A WEEK PLUS A FEW DAYS. IN ALL OF THAT TIME THAT THIS VEHICLE WAS HAVING ITS TRANSMISSION ISSUES DIAGNOSED AND INSPECTED, THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT FAILED TO ADDRESS THE OPEN RECALL OF NHTSA RECALL #17V-376, FCA RECALL #T33 FOR THE STEERING WHEEL WIRING. THE DEALERSHIP KNOWS ABOUT OPEN RECALLS AND, YET FAILED TO PERFORM THE REPAIRS ON THIS VEHICLE. INSTEAD, IT ALLOWED MY VEHICLE TO BE TOWED FROM ITS LOT BACK TO MY HOME ADDRESS, DESPITE KNOWING THAT IT FAILED TO ADDRESS THE RECALL. DODGE CUSTOMER CARE REPRESENTATIVES INFORMED ME OF THIS RECALL WHILE I WAS ON THE PHONE WITH THEM AND STILL THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT EVEN MAKE MENTION OF THIS. THEY FAILED TO REPAIR THE POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS OR FATAL ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE AND DODGE FAILED TO ENSURE THAT THE VEHICLE RECALL WAS COMPLETED DURING ALL OF MY CONVERSATIONS WITH DODGE AND DODGE EXECUTIVE OFFICE PERSONNEL.

2011 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN HAD A FAULTY TIPM AND IS A KNOWN PROBLEM COSTING WELL OVER $1500.00 AT DODGE TO GET A NEW TIPM. THIS EFFECTS THE STABILITY CONTROL MODULE, THE TRANSMISSION ELECTRONIC SHIFTING, THE BRAKE LIGHTS AND THE AIR CONDITIONING JUST TO NAME A FEW ISSUES. WE HAVE REACHED OUT TO DODGE AND THEY WILL NOT COVER IT.

VAN WOULD TURN OVER BUT NOT START. THIS CONTINUES TO HAPPEN OVER AND OVER. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME I NEEDED A NEW TIPM AND FUEL PUMP. BUT FOUND OUT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM, AND THEY ISSUED A RECALL FOR OTHER VEHICLES WITH THIS SAME PART. IT IS THE FUEL RELAY SWITCH INSIDE OF TIPM THAT GOES BAD. IT SEEMS THE FUEL PUMP IS FINE. I CAN BUY A REPAIR PART VERY CHEAP. THIS IS PLASTERED ALL OVER ONLINE AND I THINK THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE A RECALL!

Mileage: 61,000

WHEN DRIVING, THE VAN WILL START SHAKING AND SHUT DOWN. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE IN PARK TOO. ALSO, WHEN VAN WON'T START, WE OPEN UP THE FUSE BOX AND SOMETIMES JUST BY PUTTING YOUR HAND ON THE FUSE BOX THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WILL "START-UP" THEN WE CAN CYCLE THE VAN ON. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE PARKED OUTSIDE THE BANK AND WHILE AT A RED LIGHT IN TRAFFIC.

Mileage: 120,000

FUEL PUMP RELAY IS FAULTY AND NOT SERVICEABLE. POWER TO FUEL PUMP CAN AND DOES CUT OUT WITHOUT WARNING. MY CAR HAS ONLY 54;653 MILES WHEN RELAY QUITE. AN AFTERMARKET BYPASS DEVISE WAS NEEDED TO KEEP VEHICLE RUNNING. LUCKILY MY VEHICLE WAS PARKED WHEN RELAY STOPPED WORKING.

TAKATA RECALL. 2011 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. WE BOUGHT IT IN JUNE 2018 ..PROBLEMS BEGAN IN JILY 2018. IT BEGAN WITH TIRE SENSOR LIGHT COMING ON AND STAYING ON BUT NO ISSUES....THEN ADVANCED TO NOT STARTING AT ALL..EVALUATION RESULTING IN SEVERAL TOWING BILLS EVEN AFTER 2 NEW FUEL PUMPS PUT IN..THEN A FUEL PUMP RELAY. RAN FOR A WHILE AND CONTINUED TO SHUT POWER OFF WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAYS, BACK RDS. NO WARNING LIGHTS JUST SHUT OFF. MORE TOWING COSTS. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATIONS DUE TO NO WARNING AND WHILE DRIVING WHEN VEHICLE JUST OFF. NOW U UNDERSTANDING NUMEROUS DODGE GRAND CARAVANS DEALING W SAME ISSUES AND REFUSING RECALL...PUTTING LIVES AT HIGH RISK ESPECIALLY W A SPECIAL NEEDS IN VEHICLE, MY LITTLE KIDS AND KIDS SCOUT FRIENDS. ITS CURRENTLY UNABLE TO SAFELY DRIVE DUE TO ITS UNEXPECTED SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING

Mileage: 90,000

BOTH REAR AUTO DOORS AUTOMATICALLY SHUT AS SOON AS THEY OPEN. THEY DO NOT STAY OPEN LONG ENOUGH TO SAFELY REMOVE MY DISABLED CHILD FROM THE REAR SEATING. IT HAS BECOME A SAFETY HAZARD. IF I TURN AUTOMATIC FEATURE OFF, IT DOES THE SAME THING STILL. AS SOON AS THE DOOR OPENS ALL THE WAY, IT AUTOMATIC SHUTS ITSELF. THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE FOR A FEW WEEKS NOW.

ON OCCASION THE FUEL PUMP WOULD REMAIN ON AFTER THE KEY WAS TURNED OFF. THIS WAS BEING CAUSED BY THE FUEL PUMP RELAY GETTING STUCK. HAD TO PULL THE FUSE TO GET IT TO STOP. TWICE THIS LEFT ME STRANDED WITH A DEAD BATTERY. NOTICED THAT THERE IS A RECALL FOR CHRYSLER, THESE ARE THE SAME VEHICLES, RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED FOR THE DODGE ALSO.

2011 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARD TO VEHICLE'S PCM MALFUNCTION CAUSING THE ALTERNATOR TO OVERHEAT AND BATTERY TO FAIL. *AS *TR

WHILE DRIVING, MY VAN WOULD SUDDENLY ACCELERATE. IT DID THIS MULTIPLE TIMES THEN IT WOULDN'T START. AFTER RESEARCHING OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THIS MAKE AND MODEL WE TRIED THE FUEL RELAY BYPASS. IT FIXED THE PROBLEM FOR A WHILE BE EVENTUALLY IT STOPPED WORKING. THE FUEL RELAY IS THE PROBLEM AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED BECAUSE THERE ISN'T A WAY TO PERMANENTLY FIX THE PROBLEM AT THIS TIME. DODGE ISSUED RECALLS FOR THE DURANGO AND JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE FOR THE SAME ISSUE.

Mileage: 115,000

THERE ARE TWO FACETS OF THIS ISSUE. FIRST ISSUE: IT BEGAN STARTING HARD BACK IN NOVEMBER IT WOULD CRANK BUT NOT TURN OVER AND START. IT WILL OFTEN LEAVE US STRANDED MYSELF AND YOUNG CHILDREN FOR 20-45 MINUTES WAITING FOR IT TO START.SECOND ISSUE: THE FUEL PUMP WILL REMAIN RUNNING WHEN VEHICLE IS SHUT OFF AND CONTINUE TO RUN TILL BATTERY IS DEAD. ALTERNATOR HAS BEEN REPLACED IN PAST YEAR AND HAS BEEN TESTED TO BE GOOD, BATTERY HAD TO BE REPLACED TWICE IN TWO YEARS. WHEN DIAGNOSED BY A DODGE DEALERSHIP THE ISSUE IS SAID TO BE A POWER DISTRIBUTION MODULE WHICH COSTS $1,008.00 NOT INCLUDING LABOR. THE PART IS ORDERED BUT ON NATIONAL BACKORDER WITH NO ESTIMATED TIME OF ARRIVAL.

VAN WAS IN MOTION ON CITY STREET (TAKING DAUGHTER TO SCHOOL) WHEN IT STARTED SHAKING AND THEN THERE WAS A BURNING SMELL. AUTO SHOP SAID IT'S ELECTRICAL BUT HAS REFERRED US TO DEALERSHIP FOR FURTHER AUTO SERVICE BECAUSE WHATEVER CAUSED BURNING SMELL "SHORTED OUT THE RADIO / INFORMATION CONTROL UNIT" THE VAN IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE WITH THIS ISSUE OR IT COULD CATCH FIRE.

Mileage: 181,643

VEHICLE STOPS STATING, BATTERY DRAINS. PROBLEM DIAGNOSIS POINTS TO FUEL PUMP, HOWEVER REPLACING FUEL PUMP DOES NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE. THE ISSUE IS TPN MALFUNCTION. THE COST TO REPLACE THIS DEVICE IS ASTRONOMICAL AND THE BYPASS IS NOT FUEL EFFICIENT, OR LONG LASTING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE (TIPM) FAILED, WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING. THE FAILURE ALSO CAUSED THE DOORS TO LOCK ON THEIR OWN. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TIPM DRAINED THE VEHICLE'S BATTERY. EVERY TIME SHE ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE, SHE HAD TO DISCONNECT AND RECONNECT THE BATTERY IN ORDER FOR THE BATTERY TO FUNCTION PROPERLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO APPLE FORD SHAKOPEE (1624 WESTON CT, SHAKOPEE, MN 55379) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TIPM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

HAD TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AFTER ALMOST BEING RUN OVER BY OTHER VEHICLES. A POLICE OFFICER HAD TO PUSH VEHICLE OFF OF FREEWAY. THIS HAS HAPPENED INTERMITTENTLY ON CITY STREETS AND 3 TIMES ON THE FREEWAY. IT HAPPENS AT SLOW AND FAST SPEEDS. IT IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE AND SCARY. WE HAD A FUEL PUMP RELAY BYPASS INSTALLED AS WE'VE READ THIS COULD BE THE PROBLEM. BUT VEHICLE STILL DIES WHILE DRIVING. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET HURT OR KILLED. PLEASE HELP!

THE HORN HONKS AND THE DOORS LOCK WHENEVER THEY FEEL LIKE IT. SCARED IT WILL LOCK MY KIDS IN THE VEHICLE. IT STARTED ON ITS OWN LAST NIGHT. WE HAD TO UNHOOK BATTERY OF FEAR IT WOULD START AGAIN. THE TIPM IS CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO DO RANDOM THINGS IT WOULDNT NORMALLY DO. LIKE SHUT OFF WHILE OPERATING WITH NO NOTICE OR JUST NOT START.

Mileage: 126,000

STARTED WITH THE VEHICLE NOT WANTING TO START ALL THE TIME. RECENTLY IT SHUT OFF WITH NO WARNING WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 65 MPH WITH NO STEERING. NOW IT WONT START AT ALL. WAS TOWED TO DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY FOUND THE PROBLEM AFTER 2 DAYS. THE PROBLEM IS THE TIPM (TOTAL INTEGRATED POWER MODULE). FINDING OUT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. IT ISNT SAFE FOR OTHER DRIVERS OR TO THE FAMILIES INSIDE THE VEHICLE.

TIPM FAILING. OUR 2011 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN ONLY HAS 78,000 MILES ON IT, YET THE TIPM IS CAUSING ALL SORTS OF PROBLEMS. THE BIGGEST ISSUE IS THAT THE VEHICLE WON'T START ON OCCASION, AND IT'S PROGRESSIVELY GETTING WORSE. THE ENGINE TURNS OVER, BUT IT DOESN'T START AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN TODAY. OTHER TIMES IT WON'T EVEN TURN OVER. WHEN IT DOESN'T TURN OVER, WE USUALLY PUT THE VEHICLE INTO NEUTRAL AND BACK INTO PARK, THEN IT USUALLY STARTS. WE'VE ALSO HAD THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON MANY TIMES. ONE SET OF CODES WAS FOR A CAMSHAFT POSITIONING SENSOR, SO WE REPLACED THOSE. THEN A COUPLE WEEKS LATER IT DID IT AGAIN, SO WE HAD THEM REPLACED AGAIN. AFTER A FEW MONTHS WE THEN HAD THE LIGHT COME ON AND THE DEALERSHIP EVENTUALLY HAD THE PCV HOSE AND VALVE REPLACED, THEN THE LIFTERS, ROCKERS, TAPPERS, ETC. ON THE RIGHT SIDE (NOT PART OF THE LEFT-SIDE RECALL). WE HAVE HAD DOORS RANDOMLY OPEN, LOCK OR UNLOCK. WINDOWS HAVE OPENED WITHOUT US ACTIVATING THE SWITCH. A FEW TIMES THE ALARM (HORN) HAS SOUNDED AND WE HAVE TO PRESS THE BUTTON ON THE FOB SEVERAL TIMES TO SHUT IT OFF. THE CAR ALSO SHUT OFF ONCE WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING ON THE ROAD, WHICH IS VERY FRIGHTENING. THE TIPMS IN THESE VEHICLE ARE FAULTY, NO MATTER WHAT DODGE SAYS. CHECK THE COMPLAINTS ON THE CARCOMPLAINTS WEBSITE.

Mileage: 78,000

THE TIPM MODULE COMPLETELY FAILED CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE FUEL PUMP. FROM PRELIMINARY RESEARCH THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE THAT DODGE HAS FAILED TO ADDRESS WITH THIS MODEL. VEHICLE WILL NOT START. HAVE HAD INTERMITTENT PROPULSION ISSUE WHICH CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO BE SLUGGISH THUS CAUSING A DANGER TO DRIVER AND OCCUPANTS IN TRAFFIC SITUATIONS

DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON THEN ALL LIGHTS ON THE PANEL LIT UP. CAR RAPIDLY ACCELERATED WAS ABLE TO GET CAR OFF THE ROAD AND STOPPED SHUT OFF CAR DUE TO IT RANDOMLY ACCELERATING THEN THE KEY WAS LOCKED IN THE IGNITION.

I BOUGHT MY 2011 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN CREW IN FEB 2018. IN MARCH MY TIRE SENSORS STARTING GOING OFF, WE REPLACED ALL OF THEM WITH NO LUCK, THE GAUGES WOULD STILL READ THEY WERE OUT. IN APRIL, THE CAMSHAFT SENSOR WENT OUT WHILE WE WERE ON VACATION, AND WE REPLACED IT, IN FLORIDA. IN MAY THE CAMSHAFT SENSOR WENT OUT AGAIN, SHORTLY AFTER HAVING IT REPLACED FOR THE SECOND TIME, BUT GUESS WHAT? IT HAPPENED A 3RD TIME! ONLY A WEEK LATER!!!! SO YET AGAIN, IT WAS REPLACED. OUR VAN WOULD START ACTING POSSESSED. WIPERS WOULD GO OFF WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD & WHILE THEY WERE IN THE OFF POSITION. THE LOCKS WOULD LOCK AND UNLOCK BY THEMSELVES WHILE DRIVING, SEEMED LIKE EVERY TIME IT RAINED OUT WINDOWS WOULD ROLL DOWN BY THEMSELVES OVER NIGHT OR WHILE WE WERE IN A STORE WHILE THE VAN WAS SHUT OFF. IN JUNE THE VAN STARTED STALLING WHILE WE WOULD DRIVE IT. IT WOULD RANDOMLY DIE WHILE IDLING. IN JULY/AUG I HAD MY OIL CHANGED, THE FOLLOWING DAY MY VAN WOULDN'T START. WHILE IN THE MOMENT I THOUGHT THE SHOP HAD DONE SOMETHING TO IT, SINCE I HAD GOTTEN FRUSTRATED WITH THEM THERE, (POOR FELLAS) THAT CLEARLY WAS NOT THE CASE. I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION MY FUEL PUMP HAD WENT OUT, SO I PAID TO HAVE THAT REPLACED. AROUND SEPT THE VAN WOULDN'T START. IT WOULD CRANK BUT NOT START. MY FUEL PUMP WOULD TURN ON, AFTER TURNING THE KEY ON AND OFF SEVERAL TIMES. IN OCT THE FUEL PUMP WOULD RUN WHILE THE VAN WAS OFF, WE HAD TO DISCONNECT THE POSITIVE ON THE BATTERY SO IT WOULDN'T BURN UP. AT THIS POINT, MY VAN WOULDN'T START AT ALL, AND THE VAN ACTED LIKE IT WAS DEAD. I WENT AND BOUGHT A NEW BATTERY, DAY AFTER I REPLACED THAT, MY VAN NEEDED TO BE JUMPED EACH TIME I WANTED TO START IT. TODAY ON OCT 22- IS MY LAST STRAW. THANKS FCA, A MOTHER AND HER TWO YOUNG CHILDREN HAD TO FIND A RIDE HOME BECAUSE IT STALLED AND SHUT DOWN WHILE SITTING IN A DRIVE THRU.

VAN WON'T START, OR SHUTS OFF RANDOMLY, INCLUDING WHILE DRIVING. WHEN DRIVING, THE ENGINE DIES AND POWER STEERING IS LOST, MAKING CONTROLLED STOPPING DIFFICULT AND UNSAFE. I TESTED FOR TIPM FUEL RELAY PROBLEM USING INFORMATION AVAILABLE ONLINE & FOUND IT FAULTY. HAD TO RIG A BYPASS FROM AUX POWER TERMINAL TO FUEL PUMP FUSE TO POWER FUEL PUMP AT ALL. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE FOR THIS AND OTHER DODGE/CHRYSLER VEHICLES, SOME OF WHICH NHTSA PUSHED FOR RECALL, BUT NOT ALL!!!! THIS NEEDS RECALL RECONSIDERATION, GIVEN HOW COMMON THIS PROBLEM IS ACROSS MULTIPLE OTHER VEHICLES THAT USE THE EXACT SAME TIPM. THERE ARE LITERALLY DOZENS OF VIDEOS AND HUNDREDS OF WEB POSTS COVERING THIS ISSUE, YET NHTSA HAS DONE NOTHING FURTHER, NOR HAS ANY RECALL BEEN PROVIDED FOR. WHEN WILL THIS GET ADDRESSED?

WE WERE GETTING READY TO LEAVE AND THE DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN. THE CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY. THE DEALER REPLACED THE 'DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR' . I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS SOMEONE COULD BE TRAPPED IN THE VEHICLE. AUTO IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. I FEEL IT IS THE SAME PROBLEM AS BEFORE ON THE RIGHT BACK DOOR. I FEEL THERE SHOULD BE A WAY TO OPEN THE DOOR MANUALLY.

SHE HAD JUST MADE A RIGHT TURN ONTO THE HIGHWAY. TOWED THE VAN TO A LOCAL DEALER AND FOUND THE ISSUE TO BE THE DIODE ON THE ALTERNATOR FAILING CAUSING ELECTRICAL FEEDBACK TO THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM). SO HAD TO SPEND A LOT OF MONEY TO HAVE THE ALTERNATOR AND PCM REPLACED. I AM AWARE OTHER VEHICLE LINES OF 2011 HAVE A RECALL FOR THIS SPECIFIC ISSUE AND AM UNSURE WHY THE DODGE GRAND CARAVAN IS NOT ON THE LIST. THERE NEEDS TO BE AN INVESTIGATION AND HAVE THIS VEHICLE ADDED TO THE RECALL.

MY VAN HAS HAD ELECTRICAL TYPE ISSUES SINCE WE PURCHASED IT, BUT IN THE LAST COUPLE YEARS THEY HAVE IMAGNIFIED. EVERY ISSUE STARTS WITH THE CAR SMOKING AND SOME SORT OF LIGHT COMING ON (ENGINE, BATTERY ETC..) MANY TIMES I TAKE IT IN AND THE DASH LIGHT IS NO LONGER ILLUMINATED OR THEY CAN NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT AND RESET THE ELECTRICAL PANEL. I HAVE REPLACED THE BATTERY NUMEROUS TIMES, ALTERNATOR THREE TIMES (LAST TIME IT WAS COMPLETELY BURNT OUT AND THE TIME BEFORE IT WAS COMPLETELY MELTED). TRANSMISSION LINES AND COOLANT LINES. THE LAST TIME MY HEADLIGHTS WERE REPLACED THE WIRES WERE CHARRED AND FRAYED. LAST NIGHT MY SON WAS PULLED OVER BY THE POLICE BECAUSE THE OFFICER NOTICED THE CAR WAS SMOKING. HE POPPED THE HOOD TO LET THE SMOKE CLEAR (MY SON SAID THE SMOKE HAD A COPERY TASTE). AFTER IT CLEARED THE VAN STARTED AND DROVE FINE. THIS IS AFTER HAVING THE ALTERNATOR REPLACED (FOR THE THIRD TIME) JUST LAST WEEK. THE TECHNICIANS AT THE SHOP HAVE NEVER SEEN THESE KINDS OF PROBLEMS BEFORE AND THE GUY AT INTERSTATE BATTERY SAID HE HAS NEVER SEEN A CAR DEPLETE A BATTERY LIKE MINE DOES. WITH ALL THESE ISSUE BEING ASSOCIATED WITH THE WORDS MELTING, CHARRING, SMOKING, IT REALLY CONCERNS ME THAT ONE DAY MY VAN IS GOING TO CATCH ON FIRE OR BLOW UP AND THIS IS NOT NORMAL FOR ANY VEHICLE, BUT ESPECIALLY ONE THAT HAS BEEN TAKEN CARE OF AND MAINTAINED. I HAVE FRIENDS WITH THE SAME VAN AND SIMILAR MILEAGE (155,000) AND THEY HAVE NOT HAD ANY OF THESE ISSUES. I CONTACTED DODGE WHO REFERRED ME TO THE NHTSA AND THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP. PLEASE HELP!!!

MY 2011 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN HAS STALLED OUT ON US 3 TIMES ON THE FREEWAY WITH NO WARNING. AFTER WAITING GOT ABOUT 40MIN. TO AN HOUR IT STARTS RIGHT UP LIKE THERE'S NO PROBLEM. RECENTLY THE VAN STALLED OUT WHILE I WAS TOWING MY SMALL CAMPER. WHEN I TAKE IT TO GET CHECKED OUT NO PROBLEM CAN EVER BE FOUND. THIS IS SO DANGEROUS AND THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS. THIS OTHER ARTICLE I RECENTLY READ AT WWW.CHRYSLERPROBLEMS.COM/TRENDS/TIPM/ ACTUALLY SAYS 2011 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN HAS THIS ISSUE MOSTLY THAN OTHER YEARS. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE. I HAVE READ MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ONLINE OF MANY MANY PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AND THIS IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE. THE PART IS VERY EXPENSIVE FOR US TO FIX WHEN THE COMPANY KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM.

EVENTUALLY, I WAS BRINGING MY VAN INTO A DEALERSHIP TO FIX A RECALL AND WHILE THERE THEY TOLD ME THAT MY VANS TIPM IS THE PROBLEM AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED! THIS WOULDN'T BE A PROBLEM WITH ME IF MY EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERED IT, IT DOESN'T! THIS TIPM DEAL COST $1480.00 DOLLARS! I CAN'T AFFORD ANYWHERE NEAR$1480.00 DOLLARS AND NOW IT'S IN THE SHOP NOT STARTING AT ALL! WHAT CAN I DO? HOW IS THIS NOT RECALLED WITH SO MANY CASES? IS THERE REALLY NO ONE WHO CAN HELP?

TIPM FAILING. WE BEGAN HAVING ISSUES WITH WHAT WAS THOUGHT TO BE FUEL PUMP AND HAVE HAD THE CAR IN THE SHOP TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP WITHOUT RESOLUTION. I WAS RECENTLY DRIVING AND HAD THE CAR SHUT OFF ON A 55MPH ZONE OF A HIGHWAY WITH 3 KIDS PLUS MYSELF AND HUSBAND IN THE CAR FOR 45 MINUTES BLOCKING A LANE OF TRAFFIC WHILE WAITING TO BE TOWED. WE HAVE HAD THE CAR STRAND US IN VARIOUS LOCATIONS 5 TIMES SINCE WE BOUGHT THE CAR 08/17. WE HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING THAT IT LOOKS TO BE THE TIPM THAT IS MALFUNCTIONING AND CAUSING THE FUEL PUMP TO RUN RANDOMLY, SOMETIMES CONTINUOUSLY FOR HOURS DRAINING THE BATTERY, OR STOP RUNNING CAUSING THE CAR TO DIE DUE TO LACK OF FUEL WHILE HAVING ALL HEADLIGHTS, WIPES AND INTERIOR LIGHTS FUNCTIONING. THE TIPM HAS CAUSED ME TO BLOCK LANES OF TRAFFIC ON HIGHWAYS, BUSINESS DRIVEWAYS AND BE STUCK IN PARKING LOTS 60+ MILES FROM MY HOME DUE TO THE FUEL PUMP NOT SHUTTING OFF WHEN THE CAR IS TURNED OFF.

TRYING TO GET NEW KEY FOB PROGRAMMED IS UNSUCCESSFUL DUE TO PROBLEM WITH THE WIN MODULE. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR DODGE CARAVANS OR ANY VEHICLE WITH THE FOBIK SYSTEM MANUFACTURER BETWEEN 2008 AND 2016. LOCKSMITH SUGGEST THAT A NEW WIN MODULE BE INSTALLED WITH NEW KEY FOBS

I STARTED HAVING ELECTRICAL ISSUES WITH MY 2011 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN LAST YEAR AROUND 107K MILES. STARTED WITH NEEDING A NEW ALTERNATOR & BATTERY, VAN WOULDN'T START. TWO MONTHS LATER, THE VAN ISN'T STARTING AGAIN AND THE MECHANIC RECOMMENDED TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP WHICH I DID. IT WAS STILL NOT STARTING AND THEY FOUND THAT THE TIPM WENT OUT AND I FULLY BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED. VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THE LACK OF RECALLS FOR THE GRAND CARAVANS WHEN THE SAME YEAR OF DURGANOS AND JEEPS ARE BEING RECALLED FOR THE SAME THING!

STARTED VAN ONE MORNING AND LEFT RUNNING TO WARM UP, CAME BACK OUTSIDE AND IT HAD DIED. THE WIPERS WERE MID-WINDSHIELD. TURNED THE KEY AND DASH LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VAN WOULD NOT START BUT MADE A TICKING NOISE UPON TURNING THE KEY. 2 DAYS LATER I STOPPED TO GET FUEL IN THE VAN. IT HESITATED TO START, BUT DID START. HEADLIGHTS WERE VERY DIM AND FADED IN AND OUT. PUT A CODE READER ON THE COMPUTER AND IT THREW A LOW BATTERY VOLTAGE CODE. PUT A VOLTMETER ON THE BATTERY AND IT READ ABOUT 10 VOLTS WHILE THE VAN WAS NOT RUNNING. WHILE THE VAN WAS RUNNING THE VOLTMETER READ ABOUT 14 VOLTS SO IT IS CHARGING. HAVE HAD SEVERAL INSTANCES WHERE POWER WINDOWS WOULD NOT WORK OR POWER DOORS WOULD NOT OPEN AND HAD TO BE MANUALLY OPENED.

FEBRUARY 2,2018 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN TURNED OFF AND PARKED IN DRIVE WAY MY DAUGHTER COMES IN AND SAID THE VAN SOUNDS LIKE IT'S STILL RUNNING WENT OUT AND HEARD WHAT SHE HEARD ALSO CHECK ON THIS THREE TIMES BEFORE GOING TO BED( THIS NOISE CAME FROM THE GAS TANK). THE NEXT DAY 02/03/2018 NOISE WAS NOT THERE ANYMORE. I HAD SCHEDULE RECALL WORK TO BE PERFORM ON 02/05/2018 BUT RE-SCHEDULE WITH SERVICE ADVISOR FOR 02/06/2018 CAR WOULD NOT START KEY STUCK IN IGNITION SWITCH. TOW TRUCK PICKED UP 02/07/2018 TOOK TO DEALERSHIP EXPLAIN WHAT HAPPEN I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE ADVISOR TO EXPECT A CALL ON FRIDAY 02/09/2018 CALL CAME DEAD BATTERY(NEW BATTERY 01/24/2018) AND THE TIPM KIT WAS NEEDED. THIS VEHICLE 2011 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN TIPM SHOULD BE LISTED AS A RECALL. I STARTED LAST YEAR HAVING STARTING CONCERNS WITH THIS VAN NOT WANTING TO START.

Mileage: 98,147

THERE IS A ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE NOT STARTING. IT STARTED OUT AS IMTTERMITTENT AND NOW IS BECOMING PRETTY REGULAR. I REPLACED THE BATTERIES IN MY KEY FOBS, AND THERE IS A NEW BATTERY IN THE VEHICLE. ALSO WHEN YOU SHIFT FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE IT IS A HARD SHIFT. I LOOKED ONLINE AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A BIG PROBLEM WITH DODGE, MANY OTHERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME THING. IT WOULD SEEM TO BE A TIPM PROBLEM WITH FAULTY RELAYS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE, IT FAILED TO START WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL AND WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 108,000.

Mileage: 108,000

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.

MY TPIM IS BAD FOUND OUT AFTER GETTING MY ALTERNATOR, BATTERY, AND STARTER REPLACED. IT IS NOT SENDING SIGNAL TO MY FUEL PUMP.

Mileage: 55,000

I HAVE POSTED COMPLAINTS FOR 2 YEARS WITH SAME PROBLEM REGARDING THE TIPM HOWEVER I WAS READING THE REASON OF NOT BEING RECALLED IS BECAUSE ALL THE TIPM SYSTEMS WILL MALFUNCTION REGARDLESS HOW MANY TIMES IT'S CHANGE. IF THIS IS SO WHY THEY DON'T RECALL ALL THIS VEHICLES.? I'VE BEEN STUCK NUMEROUS OF TIMES, REPLACED (2) $200 BATTERIES BC THE TIPM EATS THE BATTERY. I HAVE CHILDREN AND IT IS NOT FAIR TO BE STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF NO WHERE WHEN CAR DECIDERS NOT TO TURN ON.. MAKE IT A RECALL FOR EVEN EXCHANGED FOR ANOTHER VEHICLE WHERE WIE WILL BE SAFE.

TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON, FUEL PUMP RUNS AFTER THE VEHICLE IS SHUT OFF, AUTOMATIC REAR DOORS OPEN AND CLOSE INTERMITTENTLY WITH OUT THE PUSH OF THE BUTTONS. WE HAVE HAD TO REPLACE 4 BATTERIES AND 3 ALTERNATORS, EVERY TIME THE DEALERSHIP TELLS US THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE TIPM. PREVIOUSLY WE HAVE ALSO REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION AND THE ENGINE HAS NEEDED REPAIRS. ENGINE REPAIRS WERE COVERED UNDER A RECALL BUT NOT THE TRANSMISSION.

FRIDAY MORNING (OCT 20, 2017) VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN MOMENTARILY, THEN IMMEDIATELY PARKED BECAUSE THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. VEHICLE WAS NOT MOVED, STARTED, OR KEY CYCLED AFTER IT WAS PARKED.

MY 2011 CARAVAN IS HAVING SERIOUS ISSUES WHEN ATTEMPTING TO CRANK. AT TIMES THE ENGINE WILL CONTINUOUSLY TURN OVER WHEN ATTEMPTING TO START ENGINE. IT COMPLETELY DRAINED MY 1 MONTH OLD TO BATTERY. I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP TODAY FOR RECALL T33 AND I STATED THE ONGOING ISSUES. THEY PREFORMED A DIAGNOSIS TEST (I PD $165) AND STATED THE TIPM NEEDS TO BE REPLACED FOR $1475. AFTER SOME RESEARCH, I'VE NOTICED THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH MANY 2011+ CARAVAN OWNERS. MY ISSUE BEGAN IS 2015 (85,000 MILES) WITH AN INTERMITTENT CLICK WHEN ATTEMPTING TO START MY VAN. NOW, OBVIOUSLY THE ISSUE IS PROGRESSING. SEEING THERE IS A HISTORY OF ISSUES WITH TIPM, DODGE SHOULD BE COMPELLED TO ISSUE A RECALL. PLEASE CONTACT ME FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.

THE VEHICLE STOPS RUNNING WITHOUT WARNING. IT HAS OCCURRED ON THREE OCCASIONS: ONCE AT A SLOW SPEED (25 MPH) ON FLAT TERRAIN, GOING UPHILL AT 57 MPH, GOING DOWN HILL AT 45 MPH, ALL IN GOOD WEATHER CONDITIONS AND TRAVELING IN A STRAIGHT LINE. THE CAR CANNOT BE IMMEDIATELY RESTARTED, BUT AFTER A PERIOD OF MINUTES WILL RESTART. THE ENGINE SEEMS TO BE IN GOOD CONDITION AND HAS PLENTY OF POWER. THERE APPEARS TO BE NO ENGINE/MECHANICAL REASON FOR THESE EVENTS. THE EVENTS LEAVE NO TRACE OR ERROR MESSAGE THAT CAN BE OBTAINED BY OUR MECHANIC. IF THIS POWER OUTAGE OCCURRED WHEN IN THE PASSING LANE, CROSSING A RODE AT AN UNPROTECTED INTERSECTION OR OTHER CONDITION WHERE STALLING OUT RANDOMLY WOULD LEAVE US OR OTHERS IN A LIFE THREATENING SITUATION IT WOULD BE TERRIBLE. WE HAVE BEEN FORCED TO STOP DRIVING THE VEHICLE FOR FEAR OF INJURY OR WORSE.

Mileage: 165,000

TIPM HAD TO BE REPLACED DUE TO ELECTRICAL INSTABILITY WITH THE FUEL SYSTEM. SAME TIPM THAT WAS INVOLVED IN THE 2014 RECALL FOR THE DODGE DURANGO AND JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE.

IN JULY 2017 MY 2011 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN WAS BROUGHT TO MY DODGE DEALERSHIP DUE TO PROBLEMS STARTING AND THE STALLING OF VEHICLE WHILE ON THE ROAD. DEALERSHIP FELT IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP WHICH WAS COVERED UNDER MY VEHICLE PROTECTION PLAN. MY CAR WAS GIVEN BACK TO ME APPROXIMATELY 3 DAYS LATER. MY HUSBAND PICKED UP THE CAR AND WITHIN 4 HOURS, CAR GAVE DIFFICULTY STARTING AND STALLED WHILE DRIVING AT A MAJOR INTERSECTION. DEALERSHIP WAS CONTACTED THE VERY NEXT MORNING AND CAR WAS BROUGHT TO BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. IT WAS THEN DISCOVERED THAT THE TIPM OF THE CAR HAD TO BE REPLACED. THIS UNFORTUNATELY IS NOT COVERED. MY ISSUE IS THAT IF THE CAR IS STALLING AT INTERSECTIONS AND POSSIBLY ENDANGERING THE LIFE OF MYSELF AND MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR.. HOW CAN THIS NOT BE COVERED? HOW CAN THERE NOT BE A SAFETY RECALL? I AM LUCKY THAT THE CAR DID START BACK UP, BUT I NOW FEAR DRIVING THIS VEHICLE.

CAR WAS NOT ABLE TO START WITH CLICKING NOISE. ALSO FUEL PUMP WAS STILL RUNNING LONG AFTER CAR WAS TURNED OFF AND EXITED. PROBLEM WAS THE TIPM. THIS IS A RECALL FOR OTHER DODGE MODELS THAT ARE 2011 YET IT IS NOT FOR MY VAN. THIS IS OVER A $1000 PROBLEM TO HAVE DEALERSHIP CHANGE THE TIPM. NOW MY AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON. I'M FINDING MASS OF PEOPLE HAD THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE OF WATER INTRUSION IN CONNECTION IN ENGINE COMPARTMENT. HOW IS THIS NOT A RECALL? THAT SHOULD BE A WATER SEALED CONNECTION TO PREVENT AIRBAG SYSTEM SHUTTING OFF. WE WERE STATIONARY, CAR RUNNING, LIGHT CAME ON.

CAR WILL NOT START, WILL CRANK BUT NO TURN OVER. IT WILL ONLY START IF I BYPASS THE FUEL PUMP RELAY. THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH DODGE/CHRYSLER AND SOME VEHICLES HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS FAULT TIPM BUT THE CARAVAN HASN'T. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS THE CAR WILL STALL AT ANY MOMENT WHILE DRIVING IF DOES START TO BEGIN WITH.

I'VE SEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINT ABOUT HAVING TO CHANGE THE BATTERY THEN THE ALTENATOR THEN THE TPIM. I DID ALL THAT AND MY VEHICLES ELECTRICAL SYSTEM STILL IS GIVING ME PROBLEMS. THE DOORS WILL NOT SIDE OPEN THE AIR BLOWS HEAT AUTOMATICALLY WHEN NOT EVEN ON AND NOW WON'T EVEN START. PROBLEM AFTER PROBLEM AND STILL NO RECALL. THERE HAS BEEN HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT FAULTY TIPM'S AND EVEN A LAWSUIT. THE DEALERSHIP SAY'S THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS BUT EACH PERSON I'VE SEEN COMPLAIN SHARES THE SAME PROBLEM. FIRST TOLD IT'S THE BATTERY THEN THE ALTENATOR THEN THE TPIM. WHY HAS THIS NOT BEEN RECALLED. DODGE KNOWS THIS IS A PROBLEM OR THEY WOULDN'T HAVE SETTLED A LAWSUIT ABOUT THE CHEROKEE AND THE DURANGO. THIS IS NOT RIGHT AT ALL AND WE NEED HELP FIXING THIS ISSUE ASAP.

I HAVE SINCE TROUBLESHOT THIS DOWN TO THE FUEL PUMP RELAY BEING FAULTY IN THE TIPM. I HAVE ALSO HAD ISSUES OF UN-COMMANDED OPENING AND CLOSING OF THE REAR SLIDING DOORS WHILE PARKED. I ALSO GET AN RANDOM FLICKER OF THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON DASH WITH AUDIO TONE. THESE ISSUES WERE DISCUSSED WITH A MECHANIC AT THE LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP WHEN HAVING A RECALL PERFORMED ON THE "MISFIRE" ISSUE. I WAS TOLD THAT THE SOFTWARE WAS UPDATED AND I SHOULD NOT HAVE ANY MORE ISSUES. THAT HAS DEFINITELY NOT BEEN THE CASE. ONE OF THE ABOVE MENTIONED ISSUES OCCURS ON A WEEKLY IF NOT DAILY BASIS. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE PUTTING MY FAMILY IN THIS VEHICLE!

WE HAVE HAD OUR VAN NOW FOR ALMOST 2 YEARS WITH NO PROBLEMS. IN MID-AUGUST, MY WIFE WAS TAKING MY DAUGHTER TO MARCHING BAND PRACTICE AT 5 AM. SHE TOLD ME THAT AS SHE WAS GOING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION, IT JUST STALLED ON HER. THANKFULLY, IT WAS ONLY 5 AM AND NOT DURING RUSH HOUR. BEING THE SKEPTICAL GUY I AM, I THOUGH MAYBE SHE HAD HIT THE KEY SOMEHOW AND SHUT IT DOWN. THEN IT HAPPENED TO ME AND I WAS NEARLY REAR-ENDED. I CHECKED IT OUT AND DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING, BUT FROM THAT DAY FORTH, IT BECAME HARD TO START AT RANDOM TIMES. SOMETIMES WHEN WE TURN THE KEY, THE IGNITION WILL CRANK, BUT THE ENGINE WON'T START AND WE'LL HAVE TO TURN THE KEY OFF TO MAKE IT STOP TURNING OVER. OTHER TIMES, IT WILL ATTEMPT TO START, OR EVEN START, THEN IMMEDIATELY STALL. EVENTUALLY, AND SOMETIMES AFTER 8-10 ATTEMPTS, IT WILL START AND RUN UNTIL THE NEXT TIME WE PARK IT. EVER SINCE I CHECKED IT OUT, I HAVE NOTICED THAT, AT TIMES, YOU CAN'T HEAR THE HUM OF THE FUEL PUMP WHEN YOU TURN THE KEY, WHILE OTHER TIMES IT DOESN'T SEEM TO STOP MAKING NOISE. JUST THIS MORNING, I LEFT TO GO TO WORK, ONLY TO FIND THAT THE VAN WON'T START. APPARENTLY, ONE OF THE OTHER OBVIOUS SIGNS OF A BAD TIPM IS THE OCCASIONAL DEAD BATTERY....CAUSED BY A FUEL PUMP THAT THE TIPM FUEL RELAY FAILS TO SHUT OFF.AT THIS POINT, MY VAN HAS BEEN SITTING SINCE OCTOBER OF 2016, AS WE CANNOT AFFORD THE HIGH REPAIR COST. THE REPAIR ESTIMATE THAT I WAS QUOTED FOR THE TIPM WILL COST AROUND $1100. HAD THIS BEEN TAKEN CARE OF BY CHRYSLER, I MAY HAVE SAVED WHAT I SPENT ON BATTERIES AND THE ALTERNATOR.

Mileage: 101,000

THE VEHICLE DOES NOT START INTERMEDIATELY AND HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED AS A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL PUMP RELAY EMBEDDED IN THE TIPM THAT CANNOT BE ACCESSED OR REPAIRED BY NORMAL MEANS. THIS DEFECT CAN CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO SHUT DOWN WITHOUT WARNING CAUSING A GREAT SAFETY PROBLEM. THIS SAME PROBLEM WAS EXPERIENCED BY THE DODGE DURANGO AND OTHER CHRYSLER VEHICLES AND A RECALL WAS ISSUED TO FIX THIS PROBLEM.

WITH NO PRIOR WARNING, ALL RED INSTRUMENT WARNING LIGHTS WENT ON AT ONCE, INCLUDING FUEL PUMP/THROTTLE, BRAKES AND OTHERS. CAR STALLED DEAD AND INSTANTANEOUSLY LOST POWER TO STEERING AND BRAKES, WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO CONTROL. WOULD NOT RESTART. FORTUNATELY DRIVER WAS ABLE TO STEER VEHICLE PARTLY OFF ROAD INTO A DRIVEWAY OF BUSY STORE, BLOCKING DRIVEWAY TO CUSTOMERS. STATE POLICE WERE UNABLE TO GET CAR IN NEUTRAL TO PUSH TO SAFE LOCATION. POLICE ORDERED CAR TOWED AND IT IS CURRENTLY AWAITING DIAGNOSIS FOR TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE("TIPM") FAILURE AT DODGE DEALERSHIP. THIS WAS A LIFE-THREATENING FAILURE AND IF IT HAD HAPPENED AT NEARLY ANY OTHER LOCATION OR IN ADVERSE WEATHER THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN INJURY OR DEATH TO DRIVER AND PASSENGERS. WE HAVE TOW RECEIPT. WE DON'T KNOW WHETHER STATE POLICE FILED INCIDENT REPORT. MANY SIMILAR TIPM FAILURES OF DODGE AND CHRYSLER VEHICLES HAVE BEEN REPORTED TO NHTSA AND YOU HAVE RECENTLY REJECTED A CENTER FOR AUTO SAFETY PETITION FOR NHTSA INTERVENTION REGARDING THIS DEFECT. CHRYSLER/DODGE IS WELL AWARE OF THE PROBLEMS WITH THE TIPM BECAUSE 80,894 JEEP WRANGLERS AND DODGE NITRO VEHICLES WERE RECALLED IN 2007 FOR THE SAME PROBLEMS. IN THAT RECALL, DEFECTIVE TIPMS HAD A SOFTWARE PROBLEM THAT COULD CAUSE THE ENGINE TO STALL. NHTSA SHOULD REQUIRE DODGE TO RECALL EVERY MODEL THAT HAS THIS SAME TIPM INSTALLED AND TO IMMEDIATELY WARN THE PUBLIC THAT THEIR LIVES ARE IN DANGER EVERY TIME THEY DRIVE THEIR DODGE/CHRYSLER VEHICLE. IT IS UNCONSCIONABLE THAT THE MANUFACTURER AND NHTSA HAVE PREVIOUSLY BEEN INFORMED OF THIS DANGEROUS DEFECT AND FAILED TO PROTECT THE AMERICAN PUBLIC.

A FEW DAYS LATER AGAIN HARD TO START, IT SEEMS LIKE IF THERE WERE A LOT OF MOISTURE IN THE AIR OR RAIN IT WAS WORSE. SO YESTERDAY WENT OUT AND WAS COMPLETELY DEAD! GOT A JUMP IT FINALLY STARTED. TURNED IT OFF TRIED TO START IT WITH THE AFTERMARKET REMOTE STARTER WOULDN'T START AGAIN AT ALL AFTER THAT JUST CRANKS AND I DON'T HEAR THE FUEL PUMP COMING ON.

DOING SOME RESEARCH, NHTSA HAS PREVIOUSLY RECALLED A VERY SIMILAR TIPM IN THE GRAND CHEROKEE AND DURANGO, ESSENTIALLY ALLOWING CHRYSLER TO RECALL THE VEHICLES AND INSTALL A NEW RELAY THAT BYPASSES THE TIPM AND ALLOWS FUEL TO FLOW. I ENCOURAGE NHTSA TO EXPAND THIS RECALL TO ALL AFFECTED 2010+ CHRYSLER VEHICLES WITH TIPMS IN THE STRONGEST POSSIBLE TERMS. I AM VERY LUCKY THAT I WASN'T STRANDED OR SERIOUSLY INJURED. MANY OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS EXIST ONLINE AND EVEN IN THE NHTSA FORUMS.

TROUBLE STARTING THE VEHICLE. IT STAYS STUCK ON TURNING IT OVER. YOU HAVE TO TURN OFF TURN IT ON AGAIN AND AGAIN IT WILL STAY STUCK IF YOU DON'T TURN IT OFF. I'M AFRAID I WILL BE LEFT STRANDED. THIS HAPPENS EVERY DAY AND TAKING LONGER TO START. I THINK ITS A FAULTY TIPM.

MY 2011 CARAVAN HAS 68K MILES ON IT. FOR THE PAST FEW MONTHS, IT WILL INTERMITTENTLY HAVE PROBLEMS STARTING. EVERYTHING SEEMS FINE UNTIL YOU TURN IT TO CRANK AND THEN IT JUST MAKES A CLICK NOISE. IT WILL DO THIS ANYWHERE FROM 2 TO 20 TIMES UNTIL IT FINALLY CRANKS. IT WILL BE FINE FOR DAYS AND THEN SUDDENLY... NO START. I'VE LEFT IT AT MY MECHANIC FOR ONE WEEK LAST MONTH AND ONE WEEK THIS MONTH. THEY REPLACED THE BATTERY, BUT NO AVAIL. THEY HAVE SEEN IT IN ACTION (ACTUALLY CAME TO ME BECAUSE THEY ARE TOTALLY STUMPED TOO), BUT CANNOT REPLICATE IT. SO I'M OUT $800 IN CAR RENTAL FEES AND NO ONE CAN FIGURE OUT WHY THE THING IS ACTING LIKE IT IS. I'M WORRIED I'M GOING TO BE STRANDED WITH A HAND FULL OF KIDS AND A CAR THAT WON'T START. I DON'T LIKE FEELING LIKE I CAN'T TRUST MY CAR. DODGE HAS BEEN UNHELPFUL AS WELL, ALTHOUGH I'M GIVING THE DEALERSHIP A SHOT AT THIS PROBLEM AGAIN AND TAKING IT THERE. ANOTHER WEEK OF RENTAL CAR FEES - YAY! FROM READING ONLINE AND A QUICK YOUTUBE SEARCH, IT APPEARS I'M NOT ALONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. I JUST WANT IT FIXED, WHATEVER THE PROBLEM IS.

CAR (2011 GRAND CARAVAN) WOULD CRANK BUT NOT START. I HAD IT TOWED TO SAFFORD DODGE IN SPRINGFIELD, VIRGINIA. THEY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A BAD FUEL PUMP. I PAID $950 FOR A TOW AND A NEW FUEL PUMP. AS SOON AS I DROVE THE VEHICLE HOME, IT WAS DOING THE EXACT SAME THING (CRANK BUT NOT START). EVENTUALLY, IT STARTED BUT, LATER IN THE DAY, IT WOULD NOT START AT ALL. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND MADE ARRANGEMENTS FOR IT TO BE TOWED IN AGAIN. EVENTUALLY, THE SERVICE GUY CALLS BACK AND SAYS THEY ARE HAVING TROUBLE PINPOINTING THE PROBLEM. BEFORE THIS POINT I HAD RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM AND DISCOVERED THE MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH THE TIPM MODULE. THE NEXT MORNING HE CALLS MY WIFE AND TELLS HER THAT WE NEED A NEW TIPM MODULE AND IT'S GOING TO COST $1200 TO REPLACE IT. SHE TOLD HIM THAT WE WOULD PAY FOR THE TIPM MODULE PROVIDED THEY DEDUCTED THE COST OF THE NEW FUEL PUMP WHICH WE BELIEVE WAS REPLACED IN ERROR. SERVICE GUY WAS ADAMANT THAT FUEL PUMP WAS BAD AND THAT IT HAD TO BE REPLACED. HE SAID THEY HAD ISOLATED THE PUMP AND CONFIRMED THAT IT HAD POWER COMING TO IT BEFORE DIAGNOSING THAT IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THIS MAY BE TRUE BUT I HAVE ZERO FAITH THAT THIS GUY WAS TELLING ME THE TRUTH. I HAVE READ SEVERAL REPORTS ON THE INTERNET WHERE PEOPLE HAD THEIR FUEL PUMP REPLACED IN ERROR. I EVENTUALLY WENT TO THE SERVICE MANAGER. HE WAS ALSO INSISTENT THAT THE FUEL PUMP FAILED SIMULTANEOUSLY WITH THE TIPM MODULE. I ALSO ASKED HIM IF THEY HAD REPLACED MULTIPLE TIPM MODULES AND HE ACTED AS IF THIS WAS A VERY RARE REPAIR; HOWEVER, WHEN HE INSINUATED THAT MY FUEL PUMP AND TIPM HAD FAILED SIMULTANEOUSLY, HE ACTED AS IF HE HAD SEEN THIS SEVERAL TIMES?! MY CENTRAL CONCERN IS THAT THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL REPORTS OF THE TIPM MODULE FAILING ABRUPTLY AT HIGHWAY SPEED.

I HAVE TWO SMALL CHILDREN, AND AM CONCERNED ABOUT THIS ISSUE. MY ENGINE WILL NOT TURN OVER, IT "TICS..TIC..TIC..", UNTIL I HAVE ATTEMPTED MULTIPLE TIMES. THIS PROBLEM IS ERRATIC..2011 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN, HAVE BEEN TOLD IT NEEDS A TIPM DUE TO A "SERVICE BULLETIN" THE DEALERSHIP HAD. I DO NOT HAVE THE $1150 TO FIX THIS! I AM AFRAID TO BE STRANDED SOMEWHERE, AND AFTER LOOKING INTO THIS APPARENTLY COMMON ISSUE, I SEE THAT IT COULD LEAD TO JUST RANDOM STALLS WHICH IS SCARY. I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO FIX IT. MY WARRANTY HAS PROVEN USELESS IN THAT DOES NOT COVER THIS . I SOMETIMES HAVE TO ATTEMPT UPWARDS OF 10 TIMES TO FINALLY GET THE ENGINE TO COMPLETELY TURN OVER. IT ALSO SEEMS TO RUN ROUGH SOMETIMES, PARTICULARLY WHEN UP A HILL, ETC. I CAN NOT TRUST THIS VEHICLE TO BE DEPENDABLE AND SINCE IT IS NOT THAT OLD, AND IT APPEARS AS IF THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM, I BELIEVE THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL DUE TO SAFETY CONCERNS IF THE VEHICLE WERE TO STALL. DATED OF INCIDENT ON THIS FORM IS THE MOST RECENT, BUT NOT THE ONLY TIME IT HAS HAPPENED.

WOULD NOT START ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. PURCHASED NEW BATTERY. TOOK IT TO LOCAL MECHANIC. ALMOST PUT IN A NEW STARTER BUT RESEARCHED IT FIRST ON THE INTERNET. SEEMED LIKE IT WAS A FAULTY TIPM. CALLED LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER AND TOLD THEM THE ISSUES. AFTER A WEEK, THEY SAID I NEEDED A NEW TIPM ($1200) AND WOULD NOT COVER THE COST. SAID THAT THEY DID NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT A TIPM RECALL. I DID NOT GET IT REPLACED. CALLED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER CARE AND THEY SAID THAT I DID NOT QUALIFY FOR A RECALL. I HAVE DRIVEN CHRYSLER DODGE CARAVANS FOR OVER 25 YEARS AND I AM GREATLY DISAPPOINTED THAT THEY ARE NOT STANDING BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. THEY KNOW THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH ALL THE TIPMS IN THEIR VEHICLES AND THEY ONLY RECALLED CERTAIN MAKES AND MODELS. MEANWHILE, I HOLD MY BREATH EVERY TIME I TRY TO START MY CAR. I AM RETIRED AND CANNOT AFFORD TO REPLACE THAT PART FOR THAT PRICE. I HAD THIS CAR AS A COMPANY CAR STARTING IN JANUARY OF 2011 AND PURCHASED IT FROM ARI IN JULY OF 2014.

FOR THE PAST YEAR OR SO WE HAVE HAD CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON AND OFF AND HAVE HAD IT CHECKED AT DODGE DEALERSHIPS AND PRIVATE MECHANICS. THE CODE THEY KEPT COMING UP WAS A GENERAL CODE OF "MISFIRE" SO DODGE CONVINCED US TO GET THE SPARK PLUGS FIXED AND TO DO FUEL CLEANER TO OUR FUEL TANK BECAUSE IT WAS "PROBABLY THAT". AFTER THE FIXES WERE MADE AS A RESULT OF WHAT DODGE TOLD US TO DO, THE SAME PROBLEMS CONTINUED TO OCCUR. AFTER SEVERAL MORE TIMES OF THE VAN "SPUTTERING" DOWN THE ROAD IN BOTH CITY AND HIGHWAY DRIVING FEELING LIKE IT WAS ABOUT TO STALL OUT WHICH COULD HAVE CAUSED INJURY TO MY FAMILY OR MYSELF, IT GOT TO THE POINT IT WOULD NOT EVEN START. WE TOOK IT TO GET FIXED YET AGAIN THINKING IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP TO FIND OUT IT WAS THE TIPM. THIS IS A PART THAT IS KNOWN TO GO WRONG IN DODGE VANS YET THERE IS NO RECALL ON IT OR ANY FIX FOR IT. I TRANSPORT MY THREE KIDS IN THIS VEHICLE THAT WE STILL OWE MONEY ON TO FIND OUT ONE OF ITS MAIN COMPONENTS IS FAULTY AND THERE IS NO FIX SO IT IS OVER A GRAND OUT OF OUR POCKETS (AND SEVERAL 100 OTHER PEOPLE) TO GET THIS PART FIXED. NOT TO MENTION THE FACT THAT OUR CAR IS RENDERED USELESS UNTIL THIS IS DONE. DODGE NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS PART THAT IS FAULTY IN 2011 GRAND CARVANS. FAMILIES DON'T NEED TO BE SERIOUSLY HURT OR EVEN KILLED BECAUSE THIS LITTLE PART STOPS WORKING MID DRIVE (WHICH HAPPENED TO US BUT WE WERE PULLING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY WITH NO ONE AROUND). PLEASE HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE. IF YOU CAN'T THEN MAKE SOMEONE ELSE! IT IS NOT FAIR TO THE CONSUMER WHO PUT THEIR TRUST IN DODGE! THIS HAS BEEN A YEAR AND A HALF OF CONSTANT ISSUES THAT HAVE COME OUT OF OUR WALLETS WHILE THE CAR MAKER SITS PRETTY.

DODGE DEALERSHIP FINALLY DIAGNOSED MY FAULTY TIPM IN MY 2011 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE NEW AND STARTED HAVING STARTING ISSUES WHILE PARKED AT ABOUT 15K MILES ALL THE WAY UP TO PRESENT MILEAGE OF 70K MILES. ORIGINALLY WHEN THE KEY WAS TURNED IN THE IGNITION I WOULD GET NOTHING, JUST A VERY QUICK HALF TURN OF THE MOTOR (NO TRUE CRANKING). THIS STRANGE ELECTRICAL SHORT WOULD SELF RESOLVE AFTER 15 MINUTES AND THEN CARAVAN WOULD STARTUP. THIS ISSUE PROGRESSIVELY BECAME MORE FREQUENT AS THE MILES WERE ADDED RACKED UP ON THE VEHICLE. NOW AT 70K MILES THE CARAVAN WILL ONLY CRANK BUT NOT START UP. WHEN IT DOES START IT WILL STUTTER AND THEN STALL OUT. EVENTUALLY I WILL BE ABLE TO GET IT TO START BUT IT WILL FEEL HESITANT AT TIMES WHILE DRIVING IT. THIS HARD START HAS BEEN OCCURRING ALMOST TIME I TRY TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE NOW. THE DEALERSHIP WAS FINALLY ABLE TO REPLICATE IT NOW AT 70K MILES (BECAUSE IT IS A GUARANTEED TO OCCUR) AS OPPOSED TO WHEN IT WAS VERY INTERMITTENT AND UNPREDICTABLE. OF COURSE NOW THAT I'M OUT OF WARRANTY IT WILL COST ME $1400 FOR A NEW TIPM OR THE OTHER OPTION PROPOSED IS TO CUT MY ELECTRICAL WIRING AND SOLDER A STANDALONE RELAY TO BYPASS THE INTERNAL RELAY INSIDE THE FAULTY TIPM AT A RATE OF $500. AS EVIDENCED BY INTERNET RESEARCH, THIS ISSUE IS RAMPANT ACROSS THE CHRYSLER/DODGE PRODUCT LINE AND I'M SURPRISED THAT THIS IS NOT A VOLUNTARY RECALL ALREADY. I SEE THAT IT IS IN LITIGATION AT THE MOMENT AS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT.

THE VAN TRIES TO START BUT IT NEVER TURNS OVER. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT AROUND 70 MPH AND THE VAN STALLS OUT. I WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND CALLED A TOW TRUCK TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER. DEALER STATED THAT I NEED A TIPM MODULE AND IT WAS GOING TO COST $1500. THIS IS THE SAME MODULE THAT WAS ISSUED A RECALL ON TWO OTHER DODGE VEHICLES. THIS IS THE SAME MODULE!! THIS NEEDS TO BE ISSUED A RECALL AS WELL. I DON'T KNOW WHY THEY THOUGHT THAT PUTTING THE SAME MODULE IN A RECALLED VEHICLE THE SAME PROBLEM WOULDN'T ARISE. THIS IS BS.

I JUST GOT MY CAR BACK YESTERDAY 6/28/16 AFTER THE DEALERSHIP HAD BEEN WORKING ON IT FOR A MONTH AND HALF. WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING TODAY 6/29/16 THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. IT HAPPENS SUDDENLY WITHOUT ANY WARNING SO THERE IS NO WAY FOR HER TO PULL OVER, SHE HAS TO REMOVE THE IGNITION KEY RIGHT WHERE SHE IS AT AND THEN TURN THE CAR BACK ON. THIS IS VERY CONCERNING BECAUSE IT CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT SINCE THERE IS NO WAY OF TELLING WHEN THE CAR WILL SHUT OFF. I HAVE READ MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME THING HAPPENING TO OTHER PEOPLE WITH SAME PROBLEM. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THIS VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED.

VEHICLE WON'T START YOU CAN TURN THE KEY FOR 8 TO 10 MINUTES AT A TIME BEFORE IT WILL START. THE VEHICLE ALSO LOSES POWER WHILE GOING UP AN INCLINE OR GOING IN REVERSE. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN WITH IT LOSING POWER WHILE DRIVING. NOT TO MENTION THIS HAS LEAD TO A LOT OF LATE SHIFTS TO WORK AND KIDS TO SCHOOL AND APPOINTMENTS. WAS TOLD THAT MY TPIM HAS GONE BAD WHICH IS SUPER EXPENSIVE WHEN YOU ARE MAKING PAYMENTS ON THE VEHICLE AND LIVING PAYCHECK TO PAYCHECK. THIS IS PROGRESSIVELY BECOMING A HUGE PROBLEM AS EVERYDAY IT TAKES A LITTLE LONGER FOR THE VEHICLE TO START. WHY WAS THE GRAND JEEP CHEROKEE AND DODGE DURANGO RECALLED FOR THIS ISSUE BUT NOT THE 2011 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN??

FOR $1114.27, BUT THE CAR STILL WOULDN'T START PROPERLY. WHEN I TOOK IT BACK, THEY REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP, BUT THIS DIDN'T ADDRESS THE PROBLEM.

MY 2011 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN, WHICH I BOUGHT USED AT 33,000MI AND IT HAD UNDER 47,000MI WHEN THE ISSUE STARTED HAPPENING, FAILED TO START AFTER THE FIRST FEW ATTEMPTS. IT WOULD EVENTUALLY START AFTER 5-10 ATTEMPTS. I NOTICED IT WOULD USUALLY HAVE THAT ISSUE WHEN THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN STARTED WITHIN A FEW HOURS. ONCE IT STARTED, IT RAN FINE AND IF TURNED OFF WOULD START BACK UP FINE. DEALERSHIP INITIALLY DIAGNOSED THE COOLANT TEMP SENSOR BUT DID NOT FIX THE SITUATION. THEY CALLED CHRYSLER FOR ANY INPUTS ON WHAT THE ISSUE COULD BE AND WERE TOLD IT MOST LIKELY IS THE TIPM. THE FOLLOWING IS WHAT THEY WROTE ON MY WORK ORDER: "USING POWER PROBE FOUND VOLTAGE FROM FUEL PUMP TO LOW TO MAINTAIN PROPER FUEL PRESSURE. USING POWER PROBE ADDED VOLTAGE THROUGH M37 FUSE AND FOUND VEHICLE TO OPERATE AS INTENDED." THE REPAIR TOTALED TO $1,000. THAT DOES NOT INCLUDE THE $300+ REPAIR FOR THE TEMP. COOLANT SENSOR THAT DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. THIS IS ABSURD TO BELIEVE THE TIPM IS RECALLED ON THE JEEP AND DURANGO BUT NOT THE CARAVAN WHEN IT CLEARLY IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUES IN MANY FORUMS ACROSS MANY WEBSITES. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND WAS TOLD THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO SINCE MY VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THAT SPECIFIC PART IS NOT RECALLED. IT IS CLEAR CHRYSLER WILL NOT ATTEMPT TO FIX THE SITUATION UNTIL TOLD TO.

WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE WILL SHUT OFF AT RANDOM TIMES. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES DURING THE LAST 2 MONTHS. WE RECENTLY TOOK THE VEHICLE IN, BUT, THE PROBLEM DID NOT OCCUR WHILE THE REPAIR SHOP HAD IT, SO, THEY DID NOT REPLACE ANYTHING. THERE ARE NO SPECIFIC CIRCUMSTANCES THAT WILL CAUSE THIS TO HAPPEN. IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGH SPEED ON THE INTERSTATE. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE 2008-2010 MODEL YEAR GRAND CARAVANS THAT HAVE SUFFERED THE SAME PROBLEM.

CAR SHUTS OFF SUDDENLY UP (STALL WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY), LOST ALL POWER, BRAKE AND STEERING WHEEL ARE AFFECTED MAKE IMPOSSIBLE TO DRIVE SAFELY THE VEHICLE. THIS CAUSES PROBLEMS TO SAFELY PUT YOU OUT OFF THE ROAD. ALSO, WE HAVE PROBLEMS TO TURN ON THE VEHICLE IN THE MORNINGS, AND CONSUMES UP TO THE DEATH A NEW BATTERY CAR IN MONTHS (LESS THAN A YEAR). AS PER THE DODGE DEALER THIS PROBLEMS IS CAUSED DUE A FAULTY TIPM AND A BAD FUEL GAS PUMP. REPLACE BOTH WILL COST AROUND $2,000 USD. LOOKING OVER THE WEB THIS SECURITY THREAT IT IS A COMMON ISSUE FOR DODGE GRAND CARAVAN 2011-2012. GRAND CHEROKEE AND DURANGO FOR THE SAME YEARS HAVE RECALLS FOR THIS SITUATION, BUT NOT THE GRAND CARAVAN. THIS IS A SECURITY ISSUE DOCUMENTED FOR THE CHEROKEE AND THE DURANGO THAT SHOULD APPLY TO THE GRAND CARAVAN AS IT IS THE SAME PROBLEM. I HOPE THAT YOUR AGENCY WILL BE ABLE TO INTERVENE WITH THIS SERIOUS PROBLEM.

FOR OVER A YEAR HAVE ATTEMPTED TO HAVE RECALL P25/ NHTSA 14V-234 REMEDIATED AT LOCAL DEALER SPOT DODGE IN PLEASENTVILLE NJ. EACH TIME THERE IS AN EXCUSE AND THE PROMISE OF A CALL WHEN THE RECALL CAN BE COMPLETED. TO DATE HAVE NEVER RECEIVED A CALL.

WHILE DRIVING HOME, A BURNING SMELL CAME FROM THE AIR VENTS AFTER TURNING ON THE HEATER. IMMEDIATELY SHUT OFF THE HEATER AND PULLED OVER TO CHECK THE VEHICLE. TURNED THE CAR OFF LIFTED THE HOOD. PERFORMED VISUAL INSPECTION NOTHING NOTED, SLIGHT BURNING SMELL BUT NO INDICATION OF ANYTHING OUT OF PLACE. RESTARTED THE CAR AND CONTINUED HOME USING HAZARDS AND MINIMAL SPEED. AFTER FOUR MINUTES DASH INDICATOR OF BATTERY CAME ON IMMEDIATELY GOING OUT AND THE LIGHTNING BOLT APPEARED. THIS WAS FOLLOWED BY ABS, TRACTION CONTROL, AIRBAGS AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATING. ODOMETER FLAT LINED EVEN THOUGH CAR WAS STILL RUNNING. THEN THE ENTIRE CAR DIED WHILE DOING FORTY MPH. POWER STEERING AND BRAKES WENT STIFF. I WAS ABLE TO TURN INTO A PARKING LOT AND TURNED OFF IGNITION. CHECKED UNDER HOOD AGAIN NOTHING WRONG VISUALLY. CONTACTED INSURANCE COMPANY FOR A TOW TO NEATEST DEALERSHIP. THE NEXT DAY RECEIVED CALL FROM DEALERSHIP SAYING THE ALTERNATOR(160 AMP) WAS COMPLETELY FRIED AND HAD A BLOWN CELL IN THE BATTERY WHICH WAS ONLY 15 MONTHS OLD. DEALERSHIP QUOTED $1100.00 REPAIR PRICE AND WAS STILL UNSURE IF ANY OTHER SYSTEMS HAD BEEN AFFECTED. WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO DETERMINE UNTIL NEW BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR HAD BEEN REPLACED. IN SEPTEMBER OF 2014 REPLACED THE TIPM( TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE) AFTER MULTIPLE STARTING FAILURES AND CONTINUALLY RUNNING FUEL PUMP HAD BEEN FOUND, AND NOW 18 MONTHS LATER MY ALTERNATOR FAILS WITH NO WARNING OR INDICATIONS. IN ADDITION THE SAME ALTERNATOR IS LISTED UNDER A CHRYSLER DEFECT NUMBER P60, HOWEVER CHRYSLER INFORMED ME BECAUSE MY CAR IS NOT ON THE LIST IT DOESN'T APPLY.

WHAT ISN'T WRONG WITH MY 2011 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. SLOWLY EVERYTHING IS WRONG AND I'M FINDING OUT IT'S ALL RELATED. FIRST I JUST THOUGHT IT WAS POSSESSED WHEN THE WINDOWS ROLLED THEMSELVES DOWN. THEN IT WOULDN'T WANT TO TURN OVER. I REPLACED THE BATTERY. I THOUGHT THE PROBLEM WAS SOLVED FOR ABOUT TWO WEEKS TILL IT STARTED ACTING UP AGAIN. NOW IT NEVER WANTS TO START AND WILL SHUT OFF ON ME WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. I LOOSE ALL POWER INCLUDING STEERING. I KNOW WHEN THE POWER GOES OUT ON THE LIFT GATE THAT THE VAN IS NOT GOING TO START. MOST RECENTLY THE FUEL PUMP KEPT RUNNING WITH THE VAN SHUT OFF CAUSING THE BATTERY TO GO DEAD. IF IT DOESN'T SHORT OUT OR WHAT EVER IT DOES TO ACT COMPLETELY DEAD. I HAVE READ THAT I NEED TO REPLACE MY TIPM (TOTAL INTEGRATED POWER MODULE) BUT THAT CHRYSTLER HASN'T FIXED THE PROBLEM. SO I WILL BASICALLY BE PAYING ABOUT $1200 FOR A NEW DEFECTIVE PART OR DRIVE DOWN THE HIGHWAY WITH MY KIDS IN THE VAN AND HOPE I DON'T LOOSE ALL POWER IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC!!

POWER TO THE FUEL PUMP. I HAVE NOTICED THAT SOMETIMES THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START AFTER THE FIRST TRY. SOME TIMES I HAVE TO TURN THE KEY TO OFF THEN TO RUN THREE TIMES AND THEN GO TO START. AT THAT POINT THE VEHICLE WILL START. I SOMETIMES CAN'T HEAR THE FUEL PUMP TURN ON WHEN I GO TO START THE CAR. I JUST KEEP TURNING THE KEY OFF AND ON UNTIL I CAN HEAR THE PUMP RUN. IT ALWAYS STARTS AFTER I CAN HEAR THE PUMP TURN ON. ANOTHER PROBLEM IS EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE I WILL JUST HEAR A CLING WHEN GOING TO START THE VEHICLE BUT THE STARTER DOESN'T TURN OVER JUST CLING. THAT HAS HAPPENED TWICE. I GOT THE BATTERY CHECKED OUT BY AAA THE BATTERY WAS JUST WORKING GREAT.

IN THE YEAR THAT I HAVE OWNED MY VAN, IT HAS EXHIBITED MULTIPLE PROBLEMS, THAT I THOUGHT WERE DIFFERENT ISSUE, BUT I NOW FIND ARE ALL RELATED TO A DEFECT IN THE TIPM. SPORADICALLY, WHETHER VEHICLE WAS COLD, OR NOT, I WOULD PUT THE KEY IN TO START IT AND NOTHING WOULD HAPPEN. NO SOUND, AS IF THE BATTERY WAS COMPLETELY DEAD. I COULD SHIFT THE CAR OUT OF PARK, PUT IT BACK IN PARK, AND THE CAR WOULD START. THE NEXT SYMPTOM THAT EXHIBITED WAS THAT I WOULD TRY TO START THE CAR AND IT WOULD TURN OVER, BUT SOUND AS IF IT WAS OUT OF GAS. IT WOULD EVENTUALLY START. FINALLY IT GOT TO THE POINT THAT IT WOULDN'T START AT ALL. TESTING SHOWED THAT THE BATTERY WAS DEAD. IT WAS RECHARGED AND THE VEHICLE DRIVEN AND TESTED TO DETERMINE THAT THE BATTERY WAS HOLDING A CHARGE, AND THAT THE ALTERNATOR WAS NOT THE ISSUE. THROUGH DIFFERENT TESTING IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE ISSUE WITH TIPM. THE FACT THAT I AM GOING TO BE TASKED WITH A $1500 REPAIR ON A CAR THAT I STILL OWE $14,000 ON IS RIDICUOUS.

VEHICLE IS NOW NOT WANTING TO START EVERY TIME. TOOK TO DEALER, FOUND OUT HAS FAULTY TIPM. PARTS ON BACK ORDER AND WILL END UP COSTING ALMOST $1200 TO REPAIR. STILL OWE $14000 FOR VEHICLE AND HAVE TO GET REPAIRS. THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED FOR MY 89 YEAR OLD MOTHER SO THAT SHE WOULD BE ABLE TO PUT HER ELECTRIC SCOOTER IN THE BACK OF IT FOR TRAVEL. COMPANY THIS WAS PURCHASED AT, I AM SURE KNEW OF THE ISSUE, JUST AS I AM SURE THEY KNEW OF RECALL ON A WINDOW SWITCH THAT WASN'T REPAIRED. IF THIS PART IS NOT REPAIRS, STEERING CAN GO OUT WHILE DRIVING, AMONGST OTHER FATAL THINGS, SUCH AS BRAKES GOING OUT OR STALLING MIDDLE OF DRIVING.

AT FIRST STARTING MY DODGE GRAND CARAVAN MAINSTREET WAS A HEADACHE. WE WOULD GO OUT TO START OUR CARAVAN AND IT TOOK ABOUT 20 TO 30 CRANKS BEFORE IT WOULD TURN OVER. IT STOPPED CRANKING ON SATURDAY DECEMBER 5, 2015. WE HAD TO GET IT TOWED HOME. MIND YOU I WORK 2 JOBS AND HAD TO BE AT MY SECOND JOB ON SATURDAY AT 2:30 PM. WE GOT IT TOWED AND HAD A MECHANIC COME OUT TO LOOK AT IT. HE FOUND THAT THE STARTER HAD STOPPED. WE TOOK THE STARTER TO AN AUTO PARTS STORE FOR THEM TO CHECK IT. THE STARTER HAD DIED. WE PURCHASED THE STARTER AND GOT IT INSTALLED AND OUR CAR STILL WOULD NOT STAY CRANKED. THE MECHANIC TESTED ALL OUR FUSES AND OUR FUSE PUMP AND FOUND THAT ONE OF OUR FUSED(M25) THAT GOES TO THE FUEL PUMP WAS NOT GETTING ENOUGH POWER TO IT. RESEARCHING ONLINE I FOUND THAT DODGE HAS A CIVIL SUIT AGAINST THEM FOR THE TIPM(TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE). I HAVE HAD TO WALK 2 HOURS TO GET TO MY SECOND JOB. ON SOME DAYS I HAVE TO PAY FOR A TAXI(TOTAL COST AT $46 DOLLARS) THAT IS MORE THAN I MAKE A DAY AT MY SECOND JOB. I GO TO SEE IF THERE IS A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE FOR THE TIPM AND ITS NOT. WHAT DO YOU DO? I NEED TRANSPORTATION. I PAY A CAR NOTE OF $480.00 A MONTH AND I CAN'T AFFORD TO GET THIS FIXED. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER DODGE. WHEN ALL OF THIS STARTED MY AIRBAG LIGHTS POPPED ON AND MY BRAKE LIGHTS.

MY GRAND CARAVAN HAS ISSUES STARTING, IT JUST CRANKS AND DOES NOT START. I HAD A DODGE MECHANIC CHECK IT OUT AND HE FOUND IT HAD THE COMMON ISSUE OF A BAD FUEL PUMP RELAY IN THE TIPM.

MY VEHICLE HAD A DEFECTIVE TIPM MODULE IN IT. I FIRST HAD TO REPLACE THE BATTERY THEN THE ALTENATOR THEN THE KEY FOB AND FINALLY THE TIPM MODULE. LOOKING BACK THAT ALL OF THE FIRST REPAIRS TURNED OUT NOT TO BE THE PROBLEM. WE HAD ALWAYS NOTICED THAT AT TIMES THE WINDOWS WOULD AUTOMATICALLY ROLL DOWN AND THAT THE ELECTRIC DOORS WOULD SUDDENLY OPEN UP. WE NEVER QUITE KNEW WHAT IT WAS UNTIL NOW. WE REPLACED THE TIPM AND IT WORKED FINE. AFTER SPENDING 800 DOLLARS THAT I DIDN'T REAL NEED TO THE TIPM WAS ANOTHER 1000 DOLLARS. I'VE SEEN THE LAWSUIT THAT IS ON GOING RELATED TO THE VERY SAME PROBLEM I HAD IN THE GRAND CHEROKEES AND THE DODGE DURANGOS. MY VEHICLE IS LIST IN THE ADDENDUM TO THE LAWSUIT.

VAN WOULD CRANK BUT WOULD NOT START. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS IT STARTED BUT RAN ERRATIC. AFTER DRIVING VAN FOR ~20 MINUTES VAN BEGAN TO HESITATE WHILE DRIVING AT 55 MPH ON A STATE HIGHWAY. I RESEARCHED PROBLEM ON INTERNET AND NOTICED OTHER WITH A SIMILAR PROBLEM. I ALSO NOTICED CHRYSLER ANNOUNCED A RECALL ON 2011 DODGE DURANGO AND JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE SUVS FOR A VERY SIMILAR PROBLEM BUT NOT FOR THE GRAND CARAVAN. THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE THE FUEL PUMP RELAY IN THE TIPM. I DISCUSSED THE PROBLEM WITH MY LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND THE SERVICE ADVISER INDICATED THAT HE WAS AWARE OF THE RECALL AND HAD ALSO SEEN THE SIMILAR ISSUE ON VANS. THE DEALERSHIP BYPASSED THE RELAY USING MOPAR PART CBWPR091AA WIRING - FUEL PUMP RELAY. PART WAS $18.88 AND TOTAL BILL WITH LABOR WAS $176.00. THE VAN APPEARS TO BE OPERATING NORMALLY AT THIS TIME.

THE 2011 GRAND CARAVAN HAD TROUBLE STARTING ONE MORNING BUT SOON STARTED. SOON AFTER, THE PROBLEM APPEARED TO HAPPEN MORE FREQUENTLY. ONE MORNING THE BATTERY WAS DEAD EVEN THOUGH IT WAS A FAIRLY NEW BATTERY. I EXCHANGED FOR A NEW BATTERY AND IT WAS DEAD AGAIN ON ANOTHER MORNING SOON AFTER FOR NO VALID REASON. FROM THE START OF THE PROBLEMS TILL NOW-IT'S INCREASINGLY DIFFICULT TO START AT THE BEGINNING OF THE DAY AND THE VEHICLE STALLS OCCASIONALLY AFTER STARTING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY. THE REPAIR SHOP SAYS THEY THINK IT IS THE TIPM, BUT SAYS THERE IS NO WAY TO SURE. AFTER MUCH RESEARCH SINCE THEN, IT APPEARS TO BE A PROBLEM THAT KNOWN BUT NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED YET FOR THIS VEHICLE. TWICE MY WIFE AND TWO SMALL CHILDREN HAVE BEEN STRANDED--I CONSIDER THIS A SAFETY ISSUE. I'M TOLD IT'S $700+ TO REPLACE. I HAVE FOUND DOORS UNLOCKED OR COMPLETELY OPEN FOR NO APPARENT REASON. I'VE READ ONLINE THAT THE DEAD BATTERY THAT HAS HAPPENED HAS HAPPENED TO OTHER OWNERS AND WAS LINKED TO THE FUEL PUMP RUNNING CONTINUOUSLY. I SEE THAT A PROBLEM WAS IDENTIFIED IN THE JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE AND THE DURANGO AND THAT THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FROM NOVEMBER 2013.

THE 2011 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN WAS THROWING A CODE FOR CYLINDER 2. AFTER WORK ONE NIGHT, THE VEHICLE'S BATTERY WAS DEAD. AFTER REPLACING THE COIL PACK AND PLUG ON CYLINDER 2 AND REPLACING THE BATTERY, THE BATTERY WAS DEAD AGAIN WHEN I PICKED IT UP FROM MY LOCAL MECHANIC. THE NEXT DAY, THE MECHANIC LOOKED AT THE VEHICLE AND DISCOVERED THAT THE FUEL PUMP WAS CONTINUALLY RUNNING. THE TIPM WAS DEFECTED. THE COST FOR THE PART IS $600 WITHOUT LABOR. WHILE RESEARCHING FURTHER ON THE INTERNET, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON THIS VEHICLE, AS WELL AS, OTHER CHRYSLER VEHICLES. I SPOKE TO CHRYSLER, THE WARRANTY ON THE ELECTRICAL EXPIRED IN 2014. AFTER REPAIRING THE PROBLEM, TEMPORARILY, THE CHECK ENGINE LIKE CAME ON WITH A MISFIRE ON THE LEFT CYLINDER HEAD, AGAIN. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT IN A MONTH (EARLIEST APPOINTMENT FOR A WARRANTY, SINCE THE DEALERSHIP ONLY HAS 1 TECHNICIAN, CURRENTLY, THAT CAN REPAIR WARRANTIES) TO GET THE CYLINDER HEAD REPLACED. AT THE SAME TIME, THEY WILL ALSO FIX THE RECALL ON THE REAR WINDOW WING MOTORS (WHICH WAS RECALLED LAST SPRING BUT CHRYSLER DIDN'T SEND THE PARTS TO THE DEALERSHIP AT LEAST 3 MONTHS AFTER THE RECALL - WHICH I THEN FORGOT ABOUT). ALL IN ALL, IT HAS BEEN ONE BIG MESS. NOT TO MENTION THAT THE EXTERIOR MOLDING HAS BEEN PEELING OFF. MY BIGGEST SAFETY CONCERN IS THE TIPM. IN RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM, IT WAS NOTED THAT THIS CAN LEAVE YOU STRANDED (WHICH IT DID) AND ,IN SOME CASES, DEPLOY THE AIRBAGS FOR NO REASON. SAFETY WISE, THIS IS VERY CONCERNING TO ME. ONCE I CAN GET THE MONEY TO REPLACE THE MODULE, I WILL BE FIXING IT. BUT, IN THE MEANTIME(SINCE I HAVE SPENT SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS IN THE OTHER "REPAIRS"), I WILL KEEP MY FINGERS CROSSED THAT IT DOES NOT DO MYSELF OR OTHERS PHYSICAL HARM.

ON 7/03/2015 MY 2011 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN WITH 46000 MILES WAS HAVING STARTING, STALLING AND IDLE ISSUES. THROTTLE BODY WAS REPAIRED BY SHOP AND REFUNDED MONEY BECAUSE CAR STILL HAD SAME ISSUES. THE MECHANIC SAID TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE IT WAS NOT KICKING OUT ANY CODES I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND HAD TO WAIT FOR AN APPT UNTIL AUG 4TH. THE CAR WAS ACTING UP SO I WENT IN WITHOUT AN APPOINTMENT ON 07/21/15 THEY SAID BECAUSE THE ISSUE WAS SO INTERMITTENT THAT I WOULD HAVE TO LEAVE THE CAR FOR A FEW DAYS. ON 07/22/15 THE DEALERSHIP CALLED AND SAID THEY FOUND TWO ISSUES WITH THE VAN 1ST IT NEEDED THE LEFT CYLINDER HEAD REPLACED AND 2ND THE TIPM UNIT WAS BAD. THE GOOD NEWS WAS THE CYLINDER HEAD WHICH WOULD HAVE COST $2000 WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THE BAD NEWS WAS THE TIPM ( TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE) WAS GOING TO COST $1100 TO FIX. THE WHOLE POINT OF BUYING A NEWER CAR WAS TO NOT HAVE THESE HUGE REPAIR BILLS. BUT IN ONE SHOT THIS VAN JUST COST $3600 IN REPAIRS THAT IS JUST INSANE, WHO HAS THIS KIND OF MONEY LAYING AROUND. THE SECOND THIS TIPM UNIT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH A LOT OF OTHER CARS MANUFACTURED BY CHRYSLER ARE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE. I COULD NOT IMAGINE BEING STRANDED SOMEWHERE WITH MY FIVE CHILDREN OR GOD FORBID STALLING OUT WHILE DRIVING IT COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. THIS TIPM SHOULD BE RECALLED NOT HAPPY WITH OUR CHOICE IN THIS VEHICLE ON TOP OF EVERYTHING ELSE WRONG WITH THIS CAR I HAVE A HEAD AND TAIL LIGHT THAT ARE GETTING WATER INTO THEM. I SAY ONCE AGAIN THIS CAR IS 4 YEARS OLD AND HAS A WHOLE HECK OF A LOT OF PROBLEMS. UPDATED 09/09/15*LJ UPDATED 12/05/2017*CN

DRIVING HOME ON THE HIGHWAY MY 2011 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN CREW DIED. TRAVELING 60 MPH ON A SLIGHT INCLINE. ALL POWER SHUT DOWN WITHOUT WARNING. DASH LIGHTS/ACCEL./POWER STEERING ALL DIED. I STRUGGLED TO PULL TO THE SHOULDER AND TRIED TO RESTART 10 TIMES. IT WOULD TRY TO CRANK AND SOUND LIKE IT WAS STARTING, BUT THEN NEVER WOULD STAY RUNNING. CALLED A RELATIVE FOR A RIDE HOME, THINKING I WOULD NEED TO HAVE THE VAN TOWED TO THE SHOP. AFTER WAITING ABOUT 15 MIN. FOR MY RIDE I DECIDED ONE LAST TIME TO TRY TO START IT. IT FIRED RIGHT UP. I KEPT IT RUNNING; MY RIDE FOLLOWED ME HOME THE 5 MILES TO ENSURE NO MORE SHUT DOWNS. TOOK IT TO OUR DODGE DEALER AND HAD TO LEAVE IT. 2 DAYS LATER FINALLY GOT SOMEONE TO REPORT THE PROBLEM. THEY HAD TROUBLE GETTING THE VAN TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE TO START. ACCORDING TO THE TECHNICIAN, IT NEEDED A NEW TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE, AT A COST OF $900. I PURCHASED THIS VAN AS THE THIRD OWNER MAY 2015 WITH JUST 40,900 MILES. SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING THE VAN MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS STARTED ON THEIR OWN AND WOULDN'T STOP NO MATTER WHAT SETTING YOU TURNED THE WIPER CONTROL TO. THAT WAS THE ONLY OTHER TIME WE'VE HAD THIS VAN IN THE SHOP OTHER THAN OIL CHANGES. WE PAID $179.00 TO FIX THE 'WIPER MECHANISM'. LOOKING BACK, I SEE THAT PROBLEM WAS SURELY RELATED TO THE FAILING "TIPM" THE TECHNICIAN EVEN STATED THAT THIS WAS CERTAINLY A RELATED ISSUE. THE VAN HAS SAT IN THE GARAGE UNABLE TO START THE LAST 40 DAYS. NOW THAT I'VE RESEARCHED DODGE AND THEIR HISTORY OF FAULTY TIPM'S, I AM HESITANT TO EVEN HAVE IT REPAIRED-BUT I NEED MY VAN. I CAN'T SELL IT TO ANYONE IN THIS CONDITION. IT'S MY DAILY DRIVER, AND HAS WAY TOO LOW MILEAGE TO GET RID OF IT. WE HAVE BEEN STUCK SHARING A VEHICLE. I'M READING ABOUT NUMEROUS OTHERS HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM. DODGE, PLEASE DO THE RIGHT THING AND RECALL THE TIPM. *TR

VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AND WHEN IT DID IT WOULD RUN AT A FAST IDLE THEN IT WOULD GO IN TO LIMP MODE WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD, LEAVING THE VEHICLE WITH LITTLE TO NO POWER TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY OF TRAFFIC IN THE MIDDLE ON AN INTERSECTION WHEN THE VEHICLE WENT IN TO LIMP MODE. VEHICLE WOULD LOSE ALL ENGINE POWER WHILE ACCELERATING TO SPEED AT RANDOM TIMES (MAKING THE VEHICLE BOGS DOWN) MAKING THE DRIVER AND ANY PASSENGERS GET THROWN FORWARD AND THEN BE THROWN BACK WHEN ENGINE POWER WOULD COME BACK. VEHICLE WAS ALSO GIVING ME PROBLEMS WITH THE AUTOMATIC SIDE DOORS NOT OPENING AND CLOSING AND THE HVAC SYSTEM WOULD COME ON BY ITS SELF AT RANDOM TIMES. THE DEALER REPLACED THE BATTERY (THAT I HAD TO PAY FOR) STATING THAT WAS THE REASON FOR ALL OF THE PROBLEMS I WAS HAVING. AFTER GETTING VEHICLE BACK EVERYTHING WAS GOOD FOR A FEW DAYS THEN WENT BACK TO DOING ALL OF THE SAME PROBLEMS WITHIN A FEW DAY OF GETTING VEHICLE BACK FORM DEALER. TOOK VEHICLE BACK TO DEALER FOR THE 2ND TIME AND THEY REPLACED THE PCM (2ND TIME THE PCM HAD BEEN REPLACE SINCE PURCHASED 12/31/2011) & THROTTLE BODY (THAT I HAD TO PAY THE DEDUCTIBLE). VEHICLE WAS STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS SO I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER FOR THE 3RD TIME WITHIN A 18 DAY PERIOD. THE SERVICE ADVISOR TOLD ME THAT I COULD BE THE TIPM BUT THEY WOULD HAVE TO SEE IT ACT UP BEFORE THEY COULD REPLACE THE PART, DEALER TOLD ME THAT THE TIPM WAS THE CAUSE OF ALL THE PROBLEMS. THE TIPM WAS REPLACED (HAD TO PAY FOR PARTIAL OF THE COST) AND EVERYTHING WAS WORKING AGAIN. I FEEL THAT EVEN WITH THE TIPM REPLACED THAT I COULD STILL HAVE GOTTEN A POORLY MADE PART AS A REPLACEMENT. I FEEL AT TIME WHILE DRIVING THAT SOME OF THE PROBLEMS ARE STARTING ALL OVER AGAIN, LIKE THE SLIDING DOOR NOT WORKING AND THE HVAC SYSTEM TURNING ON BY ITS SELF. ON 1/22/15 I HAD A FUEL INJECTOR GO BAD AND HAD TO BE REPLACED, MAYBE DUE TO THE TIPM? *TR

IN AUGUST 2014 OUR DODGE GRAND CARAVAN (2011) BEGAN HAVING PROBLEMS STARTING UP IMMEDIATELY. THIS CONTINUED AND PROGRESSIVELY GOT WORSE AS TIME WENT ON. WE WERE FORCED TO TRY AND COAX THE VAN TO START BY TURNING THE IGNITION BACK AND FORTH FROM ACCY (ACCESSORY) TO START REPEATEDLY, AT TIMES FOR UP TO 30-45 MINUTES BEFORE IT WOULD START. WE EXPERIENCED THE VAN'S ENGINE SHUTTING OFF FOR NO REASON AT STOPLIGHTS AND IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING. AT ONE POINT, THE FUEL PUMP WOULD NOT TURN OFF EVEN THOUGH THE VAN WAS OFF AND THE KEY REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION. WE WERE FORCED TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY EVERY TIME WE GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE SO AS NOT TO CAUSE POSSIBLE OVERHEATING OF THE FUEL PUMP. ONCE THE FUEL PUMP STOPPED RUNNING WE WERE UNABLE TO START THE VAN AT ALL, LEAVING MY STRANDED IN MY VEHICLE UNTIL I COULD BE PICKED UP. BECAUSE THIS IS OUR ONLY VEHICLE WE WERE FORCED TO GET THE TIPM REPLACED WHICH COST $1114.68. *TR

VEHICLE STALLED 6 TIMES WHILE TRAVELING ON EXPRESSWAY 70-75 MPH ,LIGHTS GOING ON AND OFF...LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND BRAKES WHEN STALLED. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP WHO COULD NOT DUPLICATE.

AFTER EXTENSIVE RESEARCH I FEEL IT IS A FAULTY TIPM, HOWEVER DODGE APPARENTLY DOES NOT THINK SO. SO I HAVE A VEHICLE THAT CAN STALL AT ANY TIME...DODGE KNOWS THERE IS A PROBLEM AND THEY JUST DON'T CARE. I WILL SAY THE DEALERSHIP WAS GREAT, FREE LOANER CAR, NO CHARGE FOR DIAGNOSTIC AND THEY GENUINELY FELT BAD TO HAND THE CAR BACK OVER...I DID NOT BUY MY VEHICLE FROM THIS DEALERSHIP, HOWEVER THEY TREATED ME AS IF I WAS A CUSTOMER OF THEIRS. *TR

I WAS DRIVING TO GO PICK UP MY WIFE AND I WAS ON A BACK TWO LANE ROAD WHEN MY VAN JUST SHUT OFF. I PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND IT TOOK A COUPLE OF TIMES TO RESTART BUT EVENTUALLY DID. SINCE THEN MY VEHICLE HAS HAD A FEW ISSUES WITH STARTING. I HAVE HAD A MECHANIC LOOK AT IT BUT HE SEES NOTHING WRONG. IT ALSO HAPPENED TO MY WIFE WHILE TRAVELING DOWN THE ROAD. SHE WAS AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT WHEN IT JUST TURNED GREEN. SHE PUT HER FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR AND IT STOPPED IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. SHE WAS WITH MY YOUNGEST SON AND HE WAS SCARED TO DEATH. WE KEEP HAVING TO HAVE ROAD SIDE ASSISTANCE TO COME JUMP START IT. TODAY JANUARY 17, 2015 THE MAN COME OUT TO JUMP START IT AND IT IS COMPLETELY DEAD. WE USED TO HEAR THIS SOUND LIKE AIR COMING FROM THE REAR DRIVER SIDE TIRE BUT NOTHING NOW. HE SAID TO ME IT MAY BE A FUEL PUMP. *TR

2011 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN 3.6L - PROBLEMS BEGIN AROUND SEPTEMBER WITH ISSUES CRANKING THE VEHICLE. THE ENGINE WOULD TURN OVER BUT IT WAS HAVING TROUBLE PICKING UP THE FUEL. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS THE VAN WOULD START AND RUN FINE IN THE BEGINNING. THE ISSUE PROGRESSIVELY GOT WORSE AND MORE COMPLEX. ON SEVERAL OCCASION WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE LOST FUEL PRESSURE AND STALLED MOMENTARILY , THEN PICKED UP FUEL AGAIN. IN NOVEMBER THE FUEL PUMP BEGIN NOT SHUTTING OFF AFTER THE IGNITION HAD BEEN SWITCHED OFF AND OTHER TIMES IT WOULD NOT PUMP AT ALL. AROUND THE FIRST OF JANUARY THE VEHICLE STRANDED US ON VACATION FOR 7 HOURS ONLY TO CRANK ONCE WE JUMPED THE VAN WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE. AFTER THAT THE ONLY WAY I COULD START THE VEHICLE IN THE MORNING IS BY JUMPING IT WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE. THIS WEEK, THINKING THAT THERE WAS A SHORT IN THE FUEL PUMP I REPLACED IT ($300.00 PARTS ONLY) AND THE PROBLEM CONTINUED. THE FUEL PUMP FUSE (M25) WAS NOT BLOWN BUT THERE WAS NO POWER ON IT. I BYPASSED THE FUEL PUMP FUSE WITH THE REAR POWER ACCESSORY FUSE (M7) AND THE PUMP CAME ON WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH. WHILE THE FUSE IS BYPASSED THE VEHICLE STARTS AND RUNS FINE. AFTER RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM ONLINE IT APPEARS THAT I MAY HAVE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE TIPM. HOPING FOR A RECALL TO HELP WITH THIS COSTLY ISSUE. *TR

THIS STARTED IN JULY OF 2014. WE NOTICED THAT AT FIRST THE WIPERS WOULD STOP RANDOMLY AND AFTER SHUTTING THEM OFF THEY WOULD NOT GO TO THEIR HOME PLACE. THIS APPEARED VERY RANDOM AND DID NOT ALARM US. BUT WHAT DID WAS THE VEHICLE WOULD RANDOMLY NOT START. IT WOULD CRANK BUT NOT TURN OVER. WE WOULD TURN THE KEY BACK OFF THEN TRY AND START AGAIN AND IT WOULD BE FINE. HOWEVER FOR THE LAST 2 WEEKS THIS HAS INCREASINGLY WORSENED. THE VEHICLE WILL TAKE UP TO 15 MINUTES TO START. IT WILL SOMETIMES START AND DIE, THEN NOT START FOR SEVERAL MINUTES. AFTER HAVING A LOCAL SHOP CHECK THIS ISSUE OUT THEY HAVE DETERMINED THAT THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE IS FAULTY AND WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. AT A COST OF $505 FOR THE PART AND SEVERAL MORE HUNDRED DOLLARS FOR THE LABOR THIS HAS BEEN AN EXTREMELY COSTLY FIX. *TR

OUR VAN WOULD NOT START. THE KEY WAS STUCK IN THE IGNITION, SO I HAD THE VAN JUMPED, THEN TOWED TO THE DEALER WHO SAID THAT THE BATTERY CONNECTORS WERE LOOSE AND THAT WAS THE ISSUE WITH THE NON-START. WE GET THE VAN BACK AND EXACTLY ONE WEEK LATER, THE VAN WILL NOT START AGAIN. THIS TIME I CHECK THE BATTERY CABLES, THEY ARE GOOD, SO I TRY TO JUMP THE VAN. THIS TIME NOTHING HAPPENS, SO I HAVE IT TOWED. THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER HAVING REMEMBERED ME FROM LAST WEEK SAYS HE THINKS ITS A BAD BATTERY AND HIS SHOP CAN INSTALL A NEW BATTERY NO PROBLEM. SO I TAKE HIS WORD. WE GET TO THEIR SHOP BUT THEY FIND THAT THE BATTERY IS NOT THE ISSUE. THEIR DIAGNOSTIC SHOWS THAT THE WIN MODULE NEEDS TO BE RESET AND POTENTIALLY THE ENTIRE SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE FLASHED. SO THEY GET THE VAN RUNNING AGAIN, I DRIVE IT HOME. THE NEXT DAY, DEAD. I TRY TO JUMP IT AGAIN, NOTHING AGAIN; HOWEVER, I AM NOW ARMED WITH POTENT INFORMATION. SO I HAVE THE VAN TOWED TO THE DEALER AGAIN. THEY REMEMBER ME TOO NOW. I TELL THEM WHAT WAS FOUND FROM THE DIAGNOSTIC RAN FROM THE SHOP. THUS FAR THEY ARE SAYING THAT EVERYTHING IS TESTING FINE BUT THEY ARE NOT SURE WHAT IS DRAINING THE BATTERY. I FEEL THEY ARE TOTALLY UNAWARE OF THE TIPM FAILURE THAT IS CURRENTLY UNDER INVESTIGATION. I WILL ALERT THEM OF THIS, BUT I AM NOT VERY HOPEFUL AS THE PART IS APPARENTLY ON A NATIONAL BACK ORDER.

FOR 1 MONTH THE VEHICLE WAS DIFFICULT TO START. IT WOULD CRANK JUST FINE, BUT THE ENGINE WOULD NOT 'IGNITE' (ESPECIALLY WHEN COLD.) THE VEHICLE WOULD FINALLY START AFTER 5-10 LONG ATTEMPTS (TURNING THE ENGINE OVER AND OVER AND THEN TURNING THE KEY TO THE OFF POSITION BEFORE TRYING AGAIN.) THIS DIFFICULT STARTUP ISSUE LASTED FOR 4 WEEKS. AT THAT POINT THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO STALL AFTER RUNNING FOR 10 - 20 MINUTES (SOMETIMES WHILE DRIVING.) FINALLY, AFTER PARKING THE VEHICLE ONE EVENING, THE FUEL PUMP CONTINUED TO RUN AFTER THE ENGINE WAS SHUT OFF AND THE KEY WAS REMOVED. IT WASN'T NOTICED RIGHT AWAY, SO BY MORNING THE BATTERY WAS COMPLETELY DEAD. ALL MY RESEARCH INDICATED THE FUEL RELAY IS FAULTY. BUT THE RELAY IS BUILT INTO THE TIPM AND THERE IS NO EASY FIX. THIS SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING ON ALL 2011 CHRYSLER/DODGE VEHICLES AND THERE IS EVEN A RECALL ON THE DODGE DURANGO FOR THE ISSUE. THIS FAULTY TIPM NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND REPLACED. MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP HAS SUGGESTED THAT I GET THE RELAY 'FIXED" USING THE FIX MENTIONED IN THE DURANGO RECALL. THE SERVICE ADVISER SUGGESTED IT WOULD BE AROUND $400 (NO GUARANTEE) AND THAT IT WOULD BE REIMBURSED IF THE RECALL WAS EXTENDED TO MY MAKE OF VEHICLE AT SOME POINT IN THE FUTURE. I'M WORRIED THAT THEY ARE GOING TO MAKE IT WORSE AND WRECK THE TIPM, WHICH IS A PART THAT COSTS OVER $1000 (AND HARD TO FIND.) I HOPE TO UPDATE THIS COMPLAINT AFTER THE VEHICLE IS 'FIXED.' *JS

OUR 2011 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN STARTED HAVING MAJOR ELECTRICAL ISSUES, WHERE THE VEHICLE WOULD RUN, BUT THE BLINKERS, THE DASH LIGHTS, HEATER/AC, RADIO, AND BLUETOOTH WOULD ALL NOT WORK AT ONCE. THE WIN MODULE HAD TO BE REPLACED. AS SOON AS THAT WAS DONE, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. THEN, SHORTLY AFTERWARDS, WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN OUR ENCLOSED GARAGE WE NOTICED A PHANTOM NOISE COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. AFTER INVESTIGATION WE WERE ABLE TO DETERMINE THAT THE VEHICLE HAD NOT TURNED ALL THE WAY OFF, BUT WAS IN FACT STILL RUNNING AND PRODUCING CARBON MONOXIDE. WE TRIED TURNING IT ON AND OFF AGAIN SEVERAL TIMES TO SEE IF IT WOULD TURN ALL OF THE WAY OFF, TO NO AVAIL. LET ME BE CLEAR. OUR VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF. IT WAS IN AN ENCLOSED GARAGE WITH THE USUAL AMOUNT OF VENTILATION, I.E. VERY LITTLE. LIKE MOST HOMES, WE HAVE BEDROOMS BOTH ABOVE THE GARAGE, AS WELL AS ONE NEXT TO IT. SO, BEING UNABLE TO MAKE OUR CAR SAFE TO PARK IN THE GARAGE, WE HAD BACK IT OUT INTO THE DRIVEWAY, WHERE IT RAN UNTIL THE BATTERY DIED. THEN, MY HUSBAND, DROVE THE CAR TWICE TO THE REPAIR SHOPS AND BOTH TIMES THE ODOMETER STOPPED WORKING, THE GAS PEDAL WOULD NOT WORK, ALL DASHBOARD LIGHTS CAME ON, HE COULD NOT ACCELERATE, AND THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT. THE SECOND TIME IT DIED ON A MAIN ROAD, AND HAD TO BE TOWED. *TR

ON THANKSGIVING MORNING 2014, ME AND MY FAMILY WENT OUT TO GO TO VISIT FAMILY FOR THANKSGIVING DINNER, BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. IT WOULD CRANK AND CRANK, BUT NEVER COME CLOSE TO TURNING OVER. THE GAS TANK WAS FULL, THE BATTERY WAS FINE, BUT CLEARLY IT WASN'T GETTING GAS. WE OBVIOUSLY COULDN'T GO ANYWHERE. AFTER USING OUR OTHER VEHICLE, WE MANAGED TO MAKE IT TO DINNER (THOUGH OBVIOUSLY LATE). THE NEXT DAY, I HAD THE CAR TOWED IN, AND SEVERAL DAYS LATER WHEN THE DEALERSHIP FINALLY HAD THE TIME TO ANALYZE WHAT WAS WRONG, I WAS NOTIFIED OF THE TIPM PROBLEM. SO FAR, IT'S BEEN NEARLY A WEEK AND THERE IS STILL NO FURTHER NEWS ON WHEN WE CAN GET IT FIXED. I'VE BEEN TOLD THERE ARE ONLY 300 TIPM'S IN THE COUNTRY AND THAT THEY ARE UNSURE WHEN THEY CAN GET THE PART. THUS FAR, I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT IT WOULD BE COVERED BY MY EXTENDED WARRANTY, AND THAT THE PART IS "APPROXIMATELY" $700 AND LABOR WOULD BE "ABOUT" $200, SO I DON'T YET KNOW WHAT IT'LL COST. I DO KNOW THAT IT WILL COST ME $50 FOR THE WARRANTY DEDUCTIBLE. WHILE THAT IS NOT A LARGE AMOUNT, THE MORE TROUBLING ISSUE IS THAT I'M NOW PAYING FOR THE LOAN AND INSURANCE ON A VEHICLE THAT I CANNOT USE FOR REASONS THAT WERE ENTIRELY OUT OF MY CONTROL AND FOR A PERIOD OF TIME THAT IS UNKNOWN. *JS

VEHICLE WILL NOT START AND WILL STOP WHILE DRIVING. THREE DIFFERENT BATTERIES HAVE BEEN DRAINED TO THE POINT OF GOING BAD. DODGE SERVICE CENTER HAS IDENTIFIED THE PROBLEM AS A FAULTY TIPM (TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE). *TR

Mileage: 52,000

BASES ON WHAT I FOUND WITH MY LOCAL MECHANIC AND ONLINE MY VAN A FAULTY TIPM. DODGE CURRENTLY HAS A RECALL OUT FOR OTHER VEHICLE WITH A BAD TIPM BUT CLAIMS MY VAN IN NOT AFFECTED BY IT. MY VAN HAS HARD STARTS OR IT WILL START THE STALL. IT TAKES ABOUT 8-10 TIMES BEFORE IT WILL START AND STAY RUNNING. ALSO MY FUEL PUMP WILL STAY RUNNING EVEN AFTER I TAKE THE KEY OUT. IF I DO NOT REMOVE THE FUEL PUMP FUSE THE PUMP WILL UNTIL THE BATTERY DIES. *TR

Mileage: 88,000

AFTER BEING TOLD BY THE DEALER OUR VAN WOULDN'T START DUE TO THE ALTERNATOR, WE DECIDED TO HAVE THE ALTERNATOR LOOKED AT. THE OTHER MECHANIC FOUND NOTHING TO BE WRONG WITH THE ALTERNATOR. THE DEALER ALSO SAID WE NEEDED OUR FUEL PUMP REPLACED. WE HAVE HAD OTHER VEHICLES THAT NEEDED FUEL PUMPS REPLACED AND WHEN THE FUEL PUMP WENT OUT WE WERE NOT ABLE TO DRIVE IT AT ALL. MY HUSBAND WAS AT AN APPOINTMENT AND AFTER TURNING OFF VAN HE HEARD SOMETHING RUNNING. THE SOUND WAS TRACKED TO THE FUEL PUMP. SO THE DEALER WASTED OUR TIME AND MONEY ALL THE TIME TRYING TO HAVE US REPLACE PARTS THAT WOULD NOT HAVE CORRECTED THE PROBLEM. AFTER CALLING AND TRYING TO GET A FUEL PUMP REGULATOR WE DISCOVERED THE FUEL PUMP REGULATOR IS BUILT INTO THE TIPM. WE HAVE A FAULTY TIPM. I WISH DODGE WOULD GET OFF THEIR BUTT AND ISSUE A RECALL ALREADY. THE ONLY WAY A CAN SHUT THE FUEL PUMP OFF IS TO UNHOOK THE BATTERY. *TR

Mileage: 91,000

THE CAR CUT OFF WHILE DRIVING, A WEEK BEFORE I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER COMPLAINING ABOUT THE CAR NO STARTING INTERMITTENT. THE DEALER RETURN THE CAR SAYING NO PROBLEM FOUND. AFTER THIS HAPPENS CUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING, I TOOK THE CAR AGAIN TO THE DEALER, THIS TIME THE DEALER REPLACE THE "TIPM" P/N 68244893AA, I WAS CHARGED $890.10, THE DEALER MECHANIC INFORMED ME THAT THIS IS WELL KNOWN PROBLEM, FOR THE SAFETY OF OTHER PLEASE FORCE CHRYSLER TO RECALL THIS "TIPM" AS THEY DID TO THE SUV'S. *TR

MY VAN WILL TRY TO START BUT IT JUST KEEPS TRYING TO TURN OVER. I HAVE TO MANUALLY TURN THE KEY BACK OFF AND WAIT, IT USUALLY TAKES ABOUT 3 TIMES FOR IT TO ACTUALLY START. IT MAKES THE CLICKING NOISE LIKE ITS A STARTER OR BATTERY BUT BOTH HAVE BEEN CHECKED AND ARE FINE. *TR

MY VAN'S AIR CONDITIONING WASN'T WORKING SO I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER...WHEN THEY GAVE IT BACK I HAD COLD AIR IN THE FRONT BUT NOT IN THE BACK, I TOOK IT BACK AGAIN, THEY FIXED THE AIR FOR THE FRONT BUT THEN THE FAN WASN'T WORKING AT ALL IN THE BACK VENTS, I TOOK IT BACK A 3 RD TIME FINALLY IT SEEMED FIXED, SINCE THEN I HAVE LOST CONTROL OF USING THE BUTTONS ON MY STEERING WHEEL, CRUISE CONTROL ONLY WORKS WHEN IT WANTS TO, AND MY VEHICLE WILL TURN OVER BUT HAS A HARD TIME STARTING, THEY HAVE CHANGED OUT THE STARTER MESSED WITH MY WIRING AND CHANGED OUT MY BATTERY, IT STILL ISN'T FIXED. NOW MY VENTS IN THE BACKSEATS ARE NOT BLOWING AIR AGAIN, THEY REPLACED THE STARTER, THE BATTERY AND STILL I AM HAVING ALL THESE PROBLEMS. COULD THIS HAVE TO DO WITH A RECALL THAT HASN'T BEEN DONE ON MY VEHICLE? ALSO I BOUGHT THE VAN NEW AND HAVE HAD A FEW PAINT JOBS TO FIX THE RUBBING OF THE SIDE DOORS THAT CAUSE MY PAINT TO RUB OFF ABOVE THE WHEEL WELLS, I FINALLY GAVE UP ON HAVING IT FIXED BUT I KNOW THIS IS AN ERROR ON CHRYSLER'S SIDE AS I CAN SHOW YOU ATLEAST TWO MORE GRAND CARAVAN'S SAME YEAR WITH THE SAME RUBBED OFF PAINT BECAUSE OF SIDE DOORS. VERY DISAPPOINTED IN BUYING MY FIRST BRAND NEW CARAVAN. *TR

IN MY 2011 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN, WHILE TURNING THE KEY TO THE ON POSITION TO START THE CAR THE KEY GETS STUCK IN THE STARTING/ON POSITION MAKING THE CAR NOT TURN OVER BUT MAKE NOISE AS IF IM TRYING TO START THE CAR, WHILE ITS ALREADY STARTED & IT'S NOT. I PHYSICALLY HAVE TO TURN THE KEY BACK TO THE OFF POSITION BECAUSE IT WON'T SNAP BACK BY ITSELF. & KEEP TRYING AGAIN UNTIL IT WILL FINALLY START. ALSO WHILE DRIVING THE CAR, IT WILL SHUT OFF WITH NO WARNING CAUSING LOSS OF POWER STEERING, LEAVING ME TO FORCE THE CAR TO A SAFE ZONE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TRY TO TURN THE CAR ON. WHILE GOOGLING THIS PROBLEM I SEE THERE'S A PROBLEM WITH THE WIND MODULAR/DETENT RING/IGNITON SWITCH BEING RECALLED IN 2008-2010 MODELS. I TOOK IT TO DODGE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM AND THEY RAN A DIAGNOSIS, AND THEY CLEANED OUT THE IGNITION SWITCH AND UPDATED THE SYSTEM,AND TOLD ME TO REMOVE MY CAR KEY FROM MY KEY CHAIN AND THEN TOLD ME NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR. EVERYDAY SINCE THEN THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORST. AND NATURALLY I'M OUTSIDE OF MY 36,000 LIMITED WARRANTY BY 2 MONTHS BY DATE AND 10 MILES OVER. (P.S) THIS SEEMS TO BE THE SAME PROBLEM THAT I SEEN IN THE NEWS THAT GM ORIGINALLY KNEW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM SINCE 2001 AND MY CAR IS A 2011 AND HERE IT IS 2014 WITH OVER 31 CRASHES AND 13 DEATHS OVER FAULTY IGNITION SWITCHES AND GM STILL CONTINUES TO PUT NOT ONLY MY FAMILY LIVES AT RISK BUT MANY OTHERS. *JS

WE TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALER FOR A MISFIRE IN CYLINDER #2 ( RECALL ON LEFT HEAD) BUT IT STARTED ALL THE TIME FOR THEM, UNTIL I WENT TO LEAVE, AND THEN NO START. THE TECH WAS ABLE TO DUPLICATE IT AND SAID WE WOULD TROUBLE SHOOT IT. A WEEK LATER THEY CALLED AND SAID IT IS MORE THEN LIKELY THE TIPM CAUSING THE PROBLEM AND THE PART IS BACKORDER NATIONALLY AND WOULD COST ME $1037 PLUS TAX FOR THE PARTS AND LABOR. IF IT IS BACK ORDERED THEN THERE IS A BIG PROBLEM AND CHRYSLER KNOWS ABOUT IT. I HOPE THEY ISSUE A RECALL SOON SO I CAN GET MY MONEY BACK. *TR

I WOULD OCCASIONALLY SMELL SMOKE WHILE DRIVING THE FIRST FEW TIMES IT HAPPENED I PULLED OVER BUT NOTICED NO OBVIOUS SMOKE COMING FROM ANYWHERE, THIS WAS NEVER A CONSISTENT ONGOING PROBLEM MEANING I DON'T SMELL IT DAILY. SOMETIMES WHILE DRIVING AT MAYBE 40 MPH IF I GIVE IT A LITTLE MORE GAS TO SPEED UP A LITTLE IT WOULD SPEED UP MORE THAN I THOUGHT IT SHOULD. WHEN UNPLUGGING THE USB CORD INTO THE BOARD FOR MUSIC I CAN HEAR A LOUD NOISE THAT TYPICALLY IS ASSOCIATED WITH ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. MOST RECENTLY MY A/C HAS BEGAN COMING ON AUTOMATICALLY, THIS BEGAN LAST WEEK AND HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 5 TIMES SO FAR. SINCE THE A/C ISSUE I GOT ONLINE TO GOGGLE AD SEARCH FOR POSSIBLE RECALLS. I PLACED A CALL WITH A LOCAL DODGE DEALER TO EXPLAIN THE ISSUES I'M HAVING AND ASK ABOUT A RECALL, I WAS TOLD SOMEONE WOULD RETURN MY CALL BUT HAS NOT.

LIGHT CAME BACK ON A FEW DAYS LATER SO WE BROUGHT BACK TO THE DEALER - THE CONSULTED WITH CHRYSLER AND REPLACED THE CAM PHASERS AND SAID THAT SHOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. WITHIN A COUPLE OF DAYS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT BOTH CAME ON AND THE CAR LOST ALL ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AT 70MPH, GAS PEDAL TO THE GROUND DID NOTHING AND CAR COASTED TO 50MPH BEFORE IT WOULD LURCH FORWARD AND COAST BACK DOWN AND EVENTUALLY CORRECTED ITSELF BUT LIGHTS REMAINED ON. DEALER CONSULTED WITH CHRYSLER AGAIN AND THEY REPLACED THE CAM PHASER SENSORS AND SAID THAT SHOULD FIX IT. WITHIN A FEW DAYS SAME THING HAPPENED, DRIVING ON HIGHWAY, CHECK ENGINE AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT TURNED ON AND CAR LOST ALL ACCELERATION AND COASTED DOWN TO 50MPH AND WOULD LURCH FORWARD AND THEN COST DOWN - RPMS WOULDN'T GO ABOVE 1300RPM AND COULDN'T GET ACCELERATION BACK. TOOK CAR BACK TO DEALER (FORTUNATELY WAS ONLY A FEW MILES FROM THE DEALER) AND THEY HAD IT FOR 2 WEEKS AND CHRYSLER RECOMMENDED REPLACING BOTH WIRING HARNESSES AND THAT SHOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. WITHIN A WEEK, SAME PROBLEM, DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AT 70MPH - CHECK ENGINE AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON, NO ABILITY TO ACCELERATE OR MAINTAIN SPEED, CAR COASTED DOWN TO 50MPH AND WOULD LURCH FORWARD AND COST BACK DOWN.
