ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY VEHICLE WAS NOT STARTING , IT TOOK 1-12 TRIES TO FINALLY GET IT TO START, I HAD SOMEONE LOOK AT IT AND IT WAS THE INTAKE SENSOR, I REPLACED TRAY, STILL DIDN'T WORK, THEN THE FUEL PUMP, IN TRUE MEAN TIME MY BATTERY WAS DRAINED BECAUSE THERE WAS A NOISE BY THE BACK TIRE,(NOT AIR COMING OUT OF TIRE) SOUNDED MORE LIKE THE HEATER WAS ON, CAR WAS TOTALLY OFF. THEN THE ACTUATOR, STILL NOT WORKING, ACTUALLY GETTING WORSE. NOW IT TAKES 10-15 TIMES TO EVEN START THE CAR. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE IGNITION, HOWEVER NOT FOR MY VIN, BUT OTHER VANS MY SAME YEAR AND MODEL. HOW COULD TEIS BE? NOW THEY SAY I NEED TO REPLACE THE IGNITION MODULAR AND THAT IS OVER $1300.00, THIS SHOULD FALL UNDER WARRANTY. AGAIN SAME YEAR, SAME MODEL, BUT BECAUSE MY VIN IS NOT PART OF IT NOTHING I CAN DO. AND TO TOP IT OFF THE PART IS FACTORY BACK ORDERED, COULD TAKE OVER A MONTH TO GET. PLEASE HELP!

STRUCTURE:BODY, SEATS
I HAVE 2 SEPERATE ISSUES. THE FIRST ISSUE IS LIKE MANY OTHER CARAVAN OWNERS, THE REAR SLIDING DOOR LOCKS ARE BOTH MALFUNCTIONING. THE REAR DRIVERS DOOR STARTED WITH THE LOUD BUZZING WHEN IT WOULD LOCK AT AROUND 60,000 MILES. AT AROUND 92,000 MILES THE REAR PASSENGER DOORLOCK BROKE IN THE LOCKED POSITION. THE DOOR WILL NOT UNLOCK ELECTRICALLY OR MANUALLY. IT IS PERMANENTLY LOCKED. THIS IS A VERY BAD SAFTEY ISSUE! IF THERE WAS AN EMERGENCY AND THE DRIVERS REAR DOOR GOT DAMAGED, NO ONE IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE CAN GET OUT! AS MANY COMPLAINTS THAT I HAVE SEEN ON THIS ISSUE, THIS IS CLEARLY A DEFECTIVE PART THAT SHOULD BE RECALLED! MY SECOND ISSUE IS THE CABLES THAT MAKE THE MIDDLE PASSENGER SEAT FOLD UP HAVE BROKEN. THIS HAPPENED AT AROUND 80,000 MILES. BOTH FAILURES HAPPENED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
FUEL RELAY SWITCH CONTINUOUSLY RUNS AFTER THE VEHICLE IS SHUT OFF WHICH DRAINS THE BATTERY AND PREVENTS IT FROM STARTING. THE VEHICLE THEN NEEDS TO BE JUMP STARTED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE AND ONCE THE ORIGINAL VEHICLE IS RUNNING AND PUT INTO DRIVE TO BE MOVED IT SHUTS ITSELF OFF BECAUSE THE BATTERY IS NOT FULLY CHARGED.

THIS IS DANGEROUS IN THE EVENT REAR PASSENGERS NEED TO EXIT VEHICLE. WILL NOT UNLOCK WITH ENGINE RUNNING OR OFF, PARKED, MOVING OR AT ANY TIME. THE SLIDING DOOR WILL NOT UNLOCK. NO CRASH.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
AFTER ALMOST EVERY FILL UP VEHICLE STALLS WHEN GOING DOWN ROAD. AFTER RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM I FOUND THE VAPOR/LIQUID SEPARATOR VALVE IS DEFECTIVE. EVIDENTLY THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND A SAFETY ISSUE IN MY OPINION. TO BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND YOUR VEHICLES SHUT DOWN IS DANGEROUS. WHY DOES THE MANUFACTURER NOT HAVE A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
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. THE ESTIMATED COST OF REPAIR IS AROUND $2,000.00.
