ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE TOTAL INTEGRATED POWER MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, MY WINDOWS WEREN'T WORKING, THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT WOULD NOT TURN OFF. MY CAR STALLS EACH MORNING 4X'S BEFORE IT CAN BE TURNED ON. I WORK WITH DOGS, AND WHEN I HAVE PARKED WITH A CAR FULL OF DOGS, I HAVE WAITED UP TO 45 MINUTES TO UNTIL MY CAR HAD BEEN ABLE TO FINALLY START AND DRIVE OFF WHICH IS DANGEROUS FOR THE LIVELIHOOD OF THE ANIMALS! I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER, AND HAVE TO PAY ALMOST 2,000 DOLLARS TO GET THIS FIXED. THIS IS NOT A WARE AND TEAR ISSUE, THIS IS A FAULTY DODGE PART!!!

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
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.
