ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
The engine stops at any time. It may restart quickly or it may take a couple of hours to start. i had my fuel pump relay replaced, but it continues to stop when ever it wants. the fuel pump stops and then i run out of gas. I have read online of a problem with the TIPM fuel relay going bad. there was a recall in the jeep grand Cherokee and other jeeps, for this same exact occurrence. so, why not for the dodge grand caravan van? i called dodge in LaPorte IN, with this problem and was told that if the TIPM is bad, i will have to pay for it being replaced. If this is a nationwide problem, it needs to be addressed, i was driving thru the city and country when it quits. very little control of brakes and steering. So what is the next step?

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SERVICE BRAKES, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
The TIPM fuse box under the hood has a malfunction which causes certain components to randomly start and stop working. This has caused the engine to stay running while the ignition is off, has caused the fuel pump to start and stop, has caused the ABS brake system to fail, and causes major component issues with lights and other electrical parts. This has been reported several times to Chrysler and Dodge for this year, but there is no recall or fix available.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
Check engine light came on. Vehicle would shake and have trouble accelerating when I put my foot on the gas pedal, it was worse if gone above 45 MPH. Vehicle was sent to mechanic for diagnosis and repair. P0302 code was read for #2 fuel cylinder misfire. PCV valve, Coil pack, All spark plugs, & Fuel injector were replaced. Check engine light is still on. Vehicle cannot be operated under mechanics safety recommendation. There is still a cylinder 2 misfire. Car can stall at anytime if operated. Dodge dealership have been notified and said there are no recalls. Warranty only covers up to 60,000 for power train issues. I’ve called another shop as well for a 3rd opinion, the engine has been failing in many vehicles with the same code.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Driver's side power door has completely seized and will not open. This is a serious safety concern on this vehicle as it is used for the transportation of several children and should an accident happen the chance of being trapped is 50% since the door will not open at all. I located a service bulletin 23-036-21 that was issued and a Mopar Warranty Extension bulletin which states it includes this model year but Dodge has stated this particular VIN is not part of it. How does a VIN determine whether the actuator is going to go bad?

I changed the Drummond fuel vapor leak detection pump and the fuel pump relay. it stopped again a few days later. same thing, it acted like it ran out of gas. It will restart a few hours later or the next day. It has happened 4 times so far.
