2011 Dodge Grand Caravan Complaint Log

THE VEHICLE STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AS I WAS DRIVING, THE VEHICLE TOOK A WHILE TO START AT TIMES. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START

AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON CONSTANTLY - NEVER TURNS OFF. SEAT BELT LIGHT WILL SOMETIMES COME ON EVEN WHEN SEAT BELT IS SECURE. FUEL PUMP DOESN'T STOP RUNNING AFTER ENGINE IS SHUT OFF. WHILE DRIVING, ALL LIGHTS WILL COME ON ON DASH AND GAUGES/HEADLIGHTS WILL FLICKER THEN CAR WILL DIE. HAS HAPPENED MORE THAN THREE(!) TIMES AT NIGHT ON BUSY HIGHWAY WITH 2 TODDLERS IN CAR!!! HAD TO PULL OFF ROAD IN COMPLETE DARKNESS. I AM FEARFUL OF DRIVING THIS CAR. I WILL NOT DRIVE AT NIGHT ANYMORE.

CAR WAS PARKED IN DRIVEWAY, ENGINE WAS RUNNING AND THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR WAS SLAMMED AND SIDE/CURTAIN AIRBAGS WERE DEPLOYED.

THE FUEL PUMP RELAY BUILT INTO THE TIPM HAS GONE BAD, AND FROM RESEARCH IS VERY COMMON IN THESE VEHICLES. THE CAR HAS BECOME INCREASINGLY DIFFICULT TO START, AND NOW WILL NOT START AT ALL.

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. VEHICLE WOULD NOT START OR WOULD NOT STAY RUNNING. NO POWER TO THE FUEL PUMP. NEW TIPM WAS REDESIGNED AND HAD TO HAVE 5 PAGES OF INSTRUCTIONS TO REWIRE THE NEW TIPM TO FIT IN TO VEHICLE.

FUEL PUMP RELAY WHICH I THINK ITS THE FUSE BOX. MY VECHILE WONT START AND WHEN IT DOES , THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS TURN ON AND ITS GAVE US A MALFUNCTION SENSOR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE AS THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SPEED DROPPED TO 40 MPH AND SHE WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE ANY FURTHER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO FREEDOM DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP (815 E CAMP WISDOM RD, DUNCANVILLE, TX 75116 (972) 572-2277) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A FAILED TRANSMISSION THAT NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 190,000.

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.

2011 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN.. I WAS THANKFULLY SITTING INFRONT OF THE HIGH SCHOOL WAITING FOR MY DAUGHTER TO COME OUT. MY VAN WAS RUNNING. I HAD RADIO ON AND WINDOWS DOWN. NOTHING ELSE ON NO AIR CONDITIONING OR ANYTHING. THE DASH LIGHTS ALL COME ON ALL OF A SUDDEN AND OFF. VAN IS DEAD. I TURN THE KEY OFF AND BACK ON AND NOTHING. I GET JUMPED. DRIVE THE 4 BLOCKS TO MY HOUSE BARELY GET IN THE DRIVE AND PARKED. I COULDN'T EVEN GET THE WINDOWS UP. ABOUT 2 HRS LATER MY NEIGHBOR COMES OVER TO JUMP ME AGAIN SO I CAN GET MY WINDOWS UP. GET THEM UP. WE WERE GOING TO TAKE IT TO ADVANCE TO GET IT HOOKED TO THEIR GADGET. I DIDN'T GET TWO HOUSES DOWN BEFORE I HAD TO PULL OVER BECAUSE MY VAN DIDN'T KNOW WHAT GEAR IT WAS IN. MY BACK UP CAMERA WAS EVEN ON. IF THIS HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY MY CHILDREN AND I COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN KILLED.

MY VAN WON'T START UP IN THE FIRST ATTEMPT IT START UP I THE SECOND ATTEMPT IT ALL HAPPEN WHEN I PUMP GAS FROM ARCO STATION

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.

CAR WOULD NOT START BUT WIPER BLADES WOULD TURN ON, TOOK TO DEALERSHIP. TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE (TIPM) FOUND TO BE DEFECTIVE. $1500 REPAIR, PART IS NOT IN STOCK AND NOT UNDER WARRANTY. CAR WAS PARKED. THERE WAS A LAWSUIT FILED BUT SETTLEMENT DID NOT INCLUDE DODGE CARAVANS BUT THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE.

FOR THE LAST MONTH I HAVE BEEN HAVING TROUBLE STARTING THE VAN. TURN THE KEY, RADIO AND DASH LIGHTS COMES ON BUT THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START. TRY SEVERAL TIMES AND EVENTUALLY IT WILL START. TOOK VAN INTO REPAIR SHOP AND THEY REPLACED THE BATTERY; HOWEVER, STILL HAVING THE UNRELIABLE STARTING ISSUE. TOOK INTO A DODGE DEALER AND THEY SAID COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING. STARTING TO QUESTION IF IT IS AN ISSUE WITH THE TIPM - THIS IS THE VAN I USE TO TRANSPORT MY CHILDREN AROUND, CONCERNED WHEN YOU READ THE ADDITIONAL ISSUES IF IT IS A DEFECTIVE TIPM.

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.

WONT START . FUEL PUMP DOESNT RUN AT TIMES , NO FUEL NO START . AT TIMES IT RUNS & STOPS ON ROAD . VERRY DANGEROUS IN TRAFFIC . WINDOWS ROLL DOWN BY THEMSELF . DOORS UN LOCK BY THEMSELF . DEALER DOESNT KNOW WHAT IS WRONG I AM TOLD . THE DEALER SAYS THE PROBLEM MAY BE THE TIPM COMPUTER BUT WILL NOT SAY FOR SURE . BUT THEY WILL REPLACE IT IF I WANT, FOR 1200.00 NO GUARANTEE IT WILL FIX IT . THESE VEHICLES WITH THIS TYPE OF COMPUTER SHOULD BE RECALLED . THEY ARE A DANGER TOTHE PUBLIC . WHEN DRIVING ON ROAD THEY WILL STOP RUNNING BECAUSE OF FUELPUMP & TIPM ARE NOT WORKING CORRECTLU .

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 SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING, WILL NOT CRANK OR TURN OVER. POWER TRANS MODULE ISSUE AFTER A RECALL THAT REPROGRAMMED THE POWER TRANS MODULE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. OCCASIONALLY, AFTER INSERTING THE KEY FOB IN THE IGNITION, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START DUE TO A LOOSE PART INSIDE THE IGNITION SWITCH. IN ADDITION, WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SHUT OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO JACKSONVILLE CHRYSLER IN JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TIPM MODULE WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT ALSO INDICATED THAT BOTH SLIDING BACK DOORS RANDOMLY OPENED AND THE FRONT WINDOWS WOULD SOMETIMES FAIL TO CLOSE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,000.

I AM ATTACHING RECALL FOR DODGE DURANGO.

2011 DODGE CARAVAN PURCHASED 3/2017. MOTOR HAD A SLIGHT KNOCKING SOUND TOOK IT BACK TO DEALER THEY SENT ME TO THEIR MECHANIC. I WAS ASSURED THAT IT WAS FINE. THEN BRAKES WENT REALLY LOW AND DID NOT STOP RIGHT. TOLD IT WAS A MASTER CYLINDER.INSTALLED THAT THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN SO WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS A BAD MASTER CYLINDER. INSTALLED ANOTHER ONE. DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM AFTER A FEW DAYS.????? THEN I WAS TOLD WE NEEDED A BRAKE BOOSTER. INSTALLED THAT AND IT DID SEEM LIKE THAT WAS IT FIXED, THEN THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON AND BRAKE PEDAL WENT LOW. NOW IT HAS A VERY HORRIBLE SOUND AND THE TRANY AT TIMES DOES NOT WANT TO SHIFT AND THE RPM'S GO UP AND I HAVE TO PULL OVER AND SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE AND TURN IT BACK ON AND IT WILL SHIFT.???? ELECTRONICAL.??? I HAVE READ COMPLAINTS ON NHTSA AND I FEEL LIKE DODGE SHOULD REPAIR THE BRAKES AND THE TRANY PROBLEM. FROM WHAT I CAN READ IT IS A DEFECTIVE PART OF THE PROGRAMMING. THE HORRIBLE NOSIE WHEN YOU PULL OFF, I DONT KNOW WHAT IT IS BUT SOUNDS BAD.. I CALLED DODGE DEALERSHIP RIGHT AFTER I BOUGHT THE VAN AND THEY WERE VERY RUDE AND SAID THERE WERE NOT ANY RECALLS FOR THIS 2011 VAN AND I SEE THAT THERE IS AND SOME SAYS COMPLETE. WELL IF THEY ARE COMPLETE SEEMS TO ME LIKE IT NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED AGAIN BECAUSE IT IS DOING WHAT I SEE THAT PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT. I OWE NEARLY 14,000 ON THIS VAN. . DOGE/CHRYSLER SHOULD MAKE IT GOOD. THE COMPLETE ON THE RECALLS LIKE I SAID IS NOT COMPLETE. PLEASE HELP ME IF YOU CAN. I DONT HAVE MUCH FAITH AFTER THE PERSON AT THE DODGE DEALERSHIP WAS SO RUDE TO ME, BUT MAYBE YOU ALL THERE CAN HELP ME GET IT REPAIRED. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE.THE WINDOWS SOMETIMES DONT WANT TO COME DOWN AND YALL HAVE SOMETHING ABOUT IT MIGHT CATCH ON FIRE.THE KEYBOB WILL NOT OPEN THE SIDE DOORS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V234000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). WHILE THE CONTACT'S WIFE WAS DRIVING 35 MPH, SHE HEARD CLICKING AND POPPING NOISES COMING FROM THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR AND NOTICED SMOKE. THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR CAUGHT FIRE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS CALLED AND EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. A FIRE REPORT WAS FILED. THE MANUFACTURER SENT AN INDEPENDENT INSPECTOR TO INVESTIGATE THE INCIDENT AND ULTIMATELY STATED THAT CHRYSLER HAD NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE FIRE. THE CAUSE OF THE FIRE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND THE CONTACT'S INSURANCE COMPANY STATED THAT THEY WOULD ATTEMPT TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 66,550. *TT *JS

AS I AM DRIVING THE CAR JUST SHUTS OFF WITH NO WARNING. IT HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES BOTH ON THE HIGHWAY AND IN TOWN. I LOSE INSTRUMENTATION, POWER STEERING, AND POWER BRAKES. I HAVE HAD TO GLIED TO A STOP AND TRY AND RESTART THE VEHICLE.

TAKATA TIPM PROBLEMS IT WONT START

I PARKED MY VAN IN THE DRIVEWAY AT 10:30 A.M. LEFT TO GO PICK UP KIDS AT 2:20 AND THE LEFT REAR WINDOW WAS ALL SHATTERED ON THE GROUND AND INSIDE. I SAW NOTHING OF FOUL PLAY. NO ROCKS, BB'S OR ANY OTHER OBJECTS. IT JUST EXPLODED. NO ONE WAS AROUND BECAUSE THE NEIGHBORS DOGS WOULD HAVE BEEN GOING WILD. THE WEATHER WAS RAINY AND ABOUT 55 DEGREES SO IT WASN'T THE HEAT.

I HAVE REPORTED THIS PROBLEM A YEAR AGO AFTER SEEING THE LAWSUIT ON JEEP CHEROKEE AND DODGE DURANGOS. HAVING TO REPLACE THE TPIM MODULE. 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 PURCHASED MY 2011 GRAND CARAVAN IN JULY 2012 AN HAVE HAD SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH IT EVER SINCE. THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE INSTANCES OF THE ENGINE STALLING WHILE DRIVING AND/OR MY VEHICLE NOT STARTING. 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!

THE ECO FUEL BUTTON IS STUCK AND IS MAKING MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT GO ON AND OFF. ALSO THE SWITCH FOR THE AIR/HEAT TURNS ON BY ITSELF, IT'S A SAFETY HAZARD KNOWING THAT THIS HAPPENS RANDOMLY. BOTH OF THESE THINGS HAPPEN ANYTIME THE CAR IS ON. CONTINUES TO HAPPEN DRIVING OR NOT.

VAN WILL SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING AT SLOW SPEED, NORMALLY WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO TURN, WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS AS YOU HAVE TO COAST ACROSS THE ROAD WITH NO POWER. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS OR ERROR CODES OF ANY KIND. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES ALMOST CAUSING ACCIDENTS. THE ENGINE DOES RUN ABNORMALLY AND PERFORMS WELL AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. WHEN THE PROBLEM HAPPENS IT IS JUST AS IF YOU TURNED OFF THE IGNITION, BUT THE RADIO AND DASH LIGHTS STILL WORK. THE VAN WILL RESTART NORMALLY AND DRIVE. HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO REPRODUCE THE ISSUE FOR A MECHANIC TO SEE THE ISSUE IT SEEMS TO BE RANDOM.

A LOS POCOS DAS DE COMPRAR LA GUAGUA EN UN DEALER, CUANDO ESTABA DANDO REVERSA SENT QUE DA UNOS BRINCOS Y TIEMBLA. TARDA UN POCO EN MOVERSE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE ENGINE SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE RESTARTED AFTER A FEW MINUTES AND WAS TAKEN TO HAASZ AUTOMALL OF RAVENNA (4886 OH-59, RAVENNA, OH 44266, 330-296-2866) WHERE THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. A DIAGNOSTIC TEST WAS PERFORMED, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE TECHNICIAN RECOMMENDED A MORE EXTENSIVE TEST, BUT THE CONTACT DECLINED TO PAY THE HIGH COST FOR THE TEST. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 75,000.

VAN STALLS AND SOMETIMES WILL NOT START BACK UP . THIS HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES ON THE HIGHWAY SO I CAN NO LONGER DRIVE THE VAN AS THIS PROBLEM IS GETTING WORST EVERY DAY MY HUSBAND DRIVES IT TO WORK AND HAS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AS I HAVE HAD WITH THE VAN. WE ARE THINKING OF TRADING IT IN BUT DON'T WANT ANYONE TO GET SUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY

MY VAN IS CRANKING BUT NOT TURNING OVER. THERE ARE SEVERAL RECALLS FOR THE SAME ISSUE FOR OTHER DODGE AND CHRYSLER VEHICLES BUT NOT MINE. IT STATES WHEN RESEARCHING IT'S A TIPM ISSUE.

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.

WHILE TRAVELING ON FREEWAY 65 MPH VEHICE COMPLETELY STALLED OUT AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPS TO RESTART IN RESTARTED HAS STALLED MULTIPLE TIMES MECHANIC SAYS IT IS FUELL PUMP RELAY IN TIPM.

I'VE HAD MY VAN SINCE OCTOBER 2016, 60000 MILES ON ODOMETER AT TIME OF PURCHASE. JANUARY 29 AND FEBRUARY 1, 2017 THE CAR HAS COMPLETELY SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. ON JANUARY 29, I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY DOING 65 MPH. FEB 1, I WAS LEAVING MY JOB'S PARKING LOT AND LATER A GROCERY STORE PARKING LOT. THE LIGHTS FLICKERED EACH TIME AND THE VAN THEN 'DIED'. IT RESTARTED WHEN I TRIED. *TR

DRIVING AT ABOUT 70 MPH, WHEN THE L/R TIRE TREAD SEPARATED FROM THE TIRE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2011 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, IT CAUGHT ON FIRE. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS NOTIFIED AND EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. A FIRE REPORT WAS FILED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED. THE INSPECTOR DID NOT FIND A DEFECT WITH THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS ALSO INSPECTED BY THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE CAUSE WAS A DEFECT IN THE REAR PASSENGER WINDOW. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED EVERY ONCE AND A WHILE. ON OCCASION, THE VEHICLE WOULD SLOW DOWN WHILE DRIVING AND THE ENGINE WOULD SHUT OFF. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS, THE VEHICLE WOULD RESTART. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO GRIEGER'S CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (219-462-4117, 1756 W US HWY 30, VALPARAISO, IN 46385), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 92,000.

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2011 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. WHILE PARKED, THE VEHICLE CAUGHT ON FIRE. THE FIRE WAS EXTINGUISHED BY THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A TOW LOT AND DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 140,000.

I HAD COMPLAINTS OF TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS SINCE I BOUGHT THE VAN. IT HAS NO POWER GOING IN REVERSE, AND IT WOULD HARD SHIFT FROM A STOP. I TOOK IT IN TWICE BEFORE THE CLUTCH BROKE. I HAD TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION REBUILT BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT THEY SUGGESTED. YOU NEED TO LOOK INTO TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS IN THIS VAN.

DRIVING STRAIGHT, APPROX 35 MPH ON 2-LANE STATE HIGHWAY PASSING THROUGH SMALL TOWN WITH RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC ON BOTH LANES AND NO SHOULDER. 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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO BE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED THAT THE FUEL PUMP RELAY FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 72,000.

OUR VEHICLE WAS HARD TO START, AND WOULD SOMETIMES STALL WHILE DRIVING. AFTER DOING A BIT OF RESEARCH ON ALL POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS, IT ONLY WORKED WHEN BYPASSING THE FUEL RELAY. THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM THAT AFFECTED THE DURANGO AND GRAND CHEROKEE WITH THEIR TIPM. *TR

MY TIPM FAILED WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY NEAR MY HOUSE. FUEL DELIVERY CUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE FORTUNATELY HAD ENOUGH MOMENTUM TO GET BACK HOME, BUT WILL NOT START AT ALL. DIAGNOSED AS A FAULTY TIPM MODULE. 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.

TIPM NEEDING TO BE REPLACED DUE TO ALL WARNING LIGHT AND WIPERS CUTTING ON, DOORS NOT FUNCTIONING, ALL ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTIONING. MOTOR CUTTING OFF LOW SPEED. 20 CODES LISTED. DODGE IS WILLING TO REPLACE FOR AROUND $1000 MY COST.

TIPM FAILURE RESULTING IN FUEL PUMP NOT ABLE TO OPERATE CORRECTLY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE'S FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER WINDOWS WOULD INDEPENDENTLY ROLL DOWN AND THE DOORS WOULD UNLOCK.
