ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY 2010 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN BEGAN HAVING ISSUES ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO. THE ABS LIGHT WOULD LIGHT UP AND BEEP ON AND OFF AND WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATED THEY COULD NOT DETERMINE THE PROBLEM WITHOUT IT OCCURING AT THAT TIME. AS MONTHS WENT ON THE PROBLEM BECAME WORSE. ALL THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS BEGAN TURNING ON AND OFF HEADLIGHTS WOULD DIMMER, CLOCK AND RADIO WOULD SHUT OFF. TOOK TO A FEW MECHANICS AND NONE COULD DETERMINE THE PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM GOT WORSE BATTERY LIGHT BEGAN STAYING LIT. WE THEN REPLACED THE BATTERY AND THE BATTERY CABLES. THE PROBLEMS PERSISTED, WE TOOK TO ANOTHER MECHANIC WHO STATED THE ALTERNATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. WE REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR AND THE VEHICLE WAS FINE FOR THREE WEEKS, THEN THE PROBLEM STARTED AGAIN ALL THE LIGHTS LIT UP, THE AIR WENT IN AND OUT, THE RADIO SHUT OFF AND OUT OF NOWHERE THE CAR SHUT OFF WHILE ABOUT TO TURN AT AN INTERSECTION WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE VAN. WE HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO MANY DIFFERENT MECHANICS EVEN THE DEALERSHIP AND NONE OF THEM CAN DETERMINE WHAT IS CAUSING THIS ISSUE. THROUGH THE INTERNET I SEE THAT WE ARE NOT ALONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO BESIDES ATTEMPT TO GET RID OF THE VEHICLE. THIS IS THE VEHICLE I BOUGHT TO TRANSPORT MY CHILDREN; I'VE BEEN PAYING FOR RENTAL CARS BECAUSE I'M SCARED TO DRIVE IT. WITH AS MANY COMPLAINTS AS I'VE SEEN FOR THIS ISSUE YOU WOULD THINK THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. SOMEONE IS GOING TO BE SERIOUSLY HURT OR DEAD IF THEY DON'T DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE, HAD TO APPLY BRAKES HARD, THEN HAD TO PUMP THE EXCELLERATOR AND THEN FLOORE IT TO GET GAS TO ENGINE TO RESUME MOMENTUM. AFTER THAT IT DOES IT DOES THIS INTERMEDIATELY, MAYBE FOR QUITE AWHILE THE SAME DAY AND NOT AGAIN FOR WEEKS. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DOES NOT COME ON AND THERE ARE TIMES THAT THE RPM'S HAVE JUMPED UP TO 4 AND ALMOST 5, THE ENGINE SOUNDS LIKE A RACE CAR AND LITTLE MOVEMENT AND THEN QUICKLY LUNGES FORWARD, AT OTHER SOUNDS LIKE IT HAS SHIFTED AND YOU STILL HAVE NOT INCREASED IN SPEED. THE DEALERSHIP KEPT THIS VECHILE OVER A WEEK AND THEY HAD NO PROBLEMS. ANOTHER DATE IT WAS DOING THIS WAS ON AN EXIT RAMP FROM THE INTERSTATE IN CREEPING, STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. TAKEN STRAIGHT TO DEALERSHIP FROM THERE ACTING UP ALL THE WAY. VECHILE WAS NOT SHUT OFF WHEN REP FROM SERVICE DEPARTMENT WENT AS PASSENGER THERE WERE NO PROBLEMS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
SATURDAY 27 MAY 2017, I WAS COMING BACK FROM A GRAND JUNCTION, IOWA CEMETERY VISIT NORTHWEST OF DES MOINES, IOWA AND DRIVING BACK ON A HIGHWAY DOING 64 IN A 65 MPH ZONE, FOLLOWING AN IOWA STATE TROOPER, AND THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON - MY MILEAGE AT THAT EXACT TIME WAS 45419. I DROVE TO MY SISTER-IN-LAW'S HOME IN URBANDALE, IOWA (I DROVE APPROX 11 MILES TO HER HOME AFTER THE LIGHT CAME ON) WHERE WE WERE STAYING OVER THE MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND. THEN I DROVE TO AN O'REILLEY AUTO PARTS STORE. THEY CHECKED MY BATTERY, IT WAS OK, EXCEPT THAT IT WAS AT ABOUT 88%. THEY THEN CHECKED THE ALTERNATOR AND IT WAS NOT CHARGING THE BATTERY. THE TECHNICIAN SAID THAT I COULD DRIVE HOME TO HARLAN, IOWA, A 100 MILE TRIP IF THE BATTERY WERE CHARGED UP FULLY. I WENT BACK TO MY SISTER-IN-LAW'S HOME AND CALLED STEW HANSEN DODGE, WHERE I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE ON 29 AUGUST 2013, AS A NEW VEHICLE WITH 18 MILES ON THE ODOMETER . I TOLD THE PERSON WHO ANSWERED THE PHONE THAT THE "ALTERNATOR" HAD ABRUPTLY STOPPED WORKING, AND ASKED IF I COULD BRING IT IN. IT WAS SATURDAY 27 MAY 2017 AT ABOUT 1 PM. THE SERVICE PERSON SAID THEY WERE OPEN UNTIL 3:30 PM BUT THEY ONLY DID OIL CHANGES ON WEEKENDS. I EXPLAINED MY SITUATION OF LIVING 100 MILES OUT OF DES MOINES, IOWA AND WAS CONCERNED ABOUT GETTING HOME WITH NO ALTERNATOR. SHE SAID SHE WAS SORRY BUT THEY COULDN'T HELP ME UNTIL NEXT WEEK TUESDAY. I WENT BACK TO MY SISTER-IN-LAW'S HOUSE, CHARGED THE BATTERY UP AND DROVE HOME BACK TO HARLAN, IOWA 100 MILES WEST ON MONDAY, 29 MAY 2017. MY MILEAGE NOW AT THIS TIME IS 45540. I DISCOVERED THAT THIS SAME ENGINE WITH THE SAME ALTERNATOR IN "SOME DODGE CHARGERS" HAS THE VERY SAME PROBLEM AND HAS BEEN RECALLED, BUT NO NOTIFICATIONS HAVE BEEN SENT TO OWNERS. I AM GOING TO TRY TO CALL CHRYSLER DODGE THIS MORNING TO INQUIRE IF MY ALTERNATOR IS RECALLED.

STEERING
AS I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE, THE POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING. I COULD NOT STEER THE VEHICLE AND IT WAS DIFFICULT TO BRAKE. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED IT TWICE, WITH NO EFFECT. I WAS ABLE TO MUSCLE IT INTO THE PARKING SPACE. I SHUT THE CAR OFF AND RAN AN ERRAND. WHEN I RETURNED AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE, THE POWER STEERING HAD STARTED WORKING AGAIN. I CHECKED THE POWER STEERING FLUID LEVEL, WHICH IS FINE. THE PROBLEM SEEMED ELECTRICAL. I HAVE NOT YET HAD A REOCCURENCE OF THIS PROBLEM. I AM WORRIED ABOUT THE IMPACT THIS WOULD HAVE IF IT OCCURRED WHEN TRAVELING AT HIGHER SPEEDS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
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.

AIR BAGS, SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
AS PREVIOUSLY OCCURRED, CHRYSLER CONCEALED A KNOWN SAFETY DEFECT FROM ITS CUSTOMERS AND THEN REFUSED TO HELP WITH REPAIRS. THE DEFECTIVE COMPONENT IS CALLED THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE (OR TIPM). THE TIPM CONSISTS OF A COMPUTER, FUSES, AND INTERNAL RELAYS, AND IS RESPONSIBLE FOR CONTROLLING AND DISTRIBUTING ELECTRICAL POWER TO THE ENTIRE VEHICLE'EVERYTHING FROM STEERING AND BRAKES, TO THE ALARM, HEADLIGHTS, AND THE FUEL PUMP. SINCE THE TIPM CONTROLS POWER TO A WIDE VARIETY OF ESSENTIAL VEHICLE SYSTEMS, INCLUDING SAFETY AND SECURITY SYSTEMS, THE DEFECT OFTEN LEAVES THE VEHICLES INCAPABLE OF PROVIDING RELIABLE OR SAFE TRANSPORTATION. MANY CLASS VEHICLES FAIL TO START (OR TAKE DOZENS OF ATTEMPTS BEFORE THE ENGINE WILL TURN OVER) BECAUSE OF THE DEFECT, AND VEHICLES START UP AT OTHER TIMES ONLY TO STALL, SOMETIMES WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGH SPEEDS. VEHICLES ALSO CONTINUE RUNNING WITHOUT THE KEY IN IGNITION. THE TIPM DEFECT HAS CAUSED HEADLIGHTS AND TAILLIGHTS TO SUDDENLY SHUT OFF. IT HAS ALSO CAUSED HORNS TO HONK, CAR ALARMS TO SOUND, AND WINDSHIELD WIPERS TO ACTIVATE ALL ON THEIR OWN. THE TIPM HAS ALSO CAUSED AIRBAGS TO NOT DEPLOY IN SOME SCENARIOS.
