ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
MY VAN DOES NOT ALWAYS START.--WHEN PARKED IN DRIVEWAY OR PARKING LOT; NO DIFFERENCE IF FLAT OR HILL OR ANYTHING. SOME DAYS IT STARTS WITH OUT ANY PROBLEMS, OTHER DAYS IT WILL NOT START EVER--IT MIGHT START AT 8AM, NOT AT 11AM, BUT WORK FOR A WEEK...NO PATTERN. I HAVE HAD IT TO THE SHOW 3 TIMES IN THE LAST 3 MONTHS--EACH TIME IT STAYED FOR MORE THAN 3 DAYS. THEY THOUGHT BATTERY; BOUGHT A NEW BATTERY. NEXT DAY, NO START. ONLY WARNING LIGHT WAS KEY BATTERY LOW--SO THEY CHANGED THAT (EVEN THOUGH I HAD ALREADY DONE THAT). NEXT DAY, NO START AND SAME LOW KEY BAT WARNING. THEN IT WOULD BE FINE FOR A FEW DAYS... AND AGAIN RANDOM START OR NO STARTS. THE LAST TIME THE RED "ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL" LIGHT WAS ON--IT SHUTS OFF AFTER A FEW SECONDS. SOMETIMES, WHEN IT DOESN'T WANT TO, BUT THEN DOES START, IT ACTS LIKE IT WANTS TO SHUT DOWN WHILE I AM DRIVING. IT WILL SPUTTER AND SEEM LIKE IT WANTS TO SHUT OFF. THE FOLKS AT THE GARAGE ARE COMPLETELY PERPLEXED BY THIS AND HAVE OFFERED TO COME TO MY HOUSE/WORK THE NEXT TIME TO SEE IT BC IT DOESN'T ALWAYS DO IT FOR THEM--WE THINK BECAUSE IF I JUMP IT, IT DOES A TEMPORARY FIX. BUT, THEY ALSO WARN BASED ON OVER CHARGING/SHOCKING A GOOD BATTERY. ANYTHING WE GOOGLE SAYS TO BE CAREFUL DRIVING AND GET TO SHOP... WELL SHOP CAN'T FIGURE IT OUT. I HAVE HEARD ABOUT A FEW RECALLS FOR IGNITION AND KEYS, AND I HAVE A CALL IN TO THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT THIS. I AM WORRIED THAT I WILL BE STUCK OUT WITH MY KIDS; END UP CRASHING WITH MY KIDS; OR WITH THE BAD WEATHER COMING, WE WILL HAVE EITHER OF THEM HAPPEN AND BE STUCK IN THE SNOW. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE (TIPM) FAILED. ENGINE WOULD NOT START WHILE CAR WAS STATIONARY. FUEL PUMP RELAY WITHIN THE TIPM WAS MALFUNCTIONING, PREVENTING POWER FROM GETTING TO THE FUEL PUMP, THEREFORE PREVENTING PROPER OPERATION OF THE FUEL PUMP. I UNDERSTAND THIS PROBLEM CAN ALSO MANIFEST ITSELF AS EITHER LOSS OF POWER WHILE DRIVING, OR A CONTINUAL RUNNING OF THE FUEL PUMP, EVEN WHEN VEHICLE IS OFF (THEREBY DRAINING THE BATTERY).
