THE VEHICLE STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY, AND THE WATER PUMP WON'T SHUT OFF AND IT IS CAUSING THE BATTERY TO DIE AND OTHER ISSUES WITH THE CAR. AFTER SPENDING HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS TO LOOK INTO THE VEHICLE, IT WAS DETERMINED IT WAS THE TIPM. AFTER RESEARCH THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF CASES REGARDING FAULTY TIPM'S ON 2007-2012 CHRYSLER VEHICLES, INCLUDED MULTIPLE DEATHS. CHRYSLER SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE TO ISSUES A RECALL IMMEDIATELY TO THE CUSTOMERS AFFECTED. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ENGINE
VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AND WHEN IT DID IT WOULD RUN AT A FAST IDLE THEN IT WOULD GO IN TO LIMP MODE WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD, LEAVING THE VEHICLE WITH LITTLE TO NO POWER TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY OF TRAFFIC IN THE MIDDLE ON AN INTERSECTION WHEN THE VEHICLE WENT IN TO LIMP MODE. VEHICLE WOULD LOSE ALL ENGINE POWER WHILE ACCELERATING TO SPEED AT RANDOM TIMES (MAKING THE VEHICLE BOGS DOWN) MAKING THE DRIVER AND ANY PASSENGERS GET THROWN FORWARD AND THEN BE THROWN BACK WHEN ENGINE POWER WOULD COME BACK. VEHICLE WAS ALSO GIVING ME PROBLEMS WITH THE AUTOMATIC SIDE DOORS NOT OPENING AND CLOSING AND THE HVAC SYSTEM WOULD COME ON BY ITS SELF AT RANDOM TIMES. THE DEALER REPLACED THE BATTERY (THAT I HAD TO PAY FOR) STATING THAT WAS THE REASON FOR ALL OF THE PROBLEMS I WAS HAVING. AFTER GETTING VEHICLE BACK EVERYTHING WAS GOOD FOR A FEW DAYS THEN WENT BACK TO DOING ALL OF THE SAME PROBLEMS WITHIN A FEW DAY OF GETTING VEHICLE BACK FORM DEALER. TOOK VEHICLE BACK TO DEALER FOR THE 2ND TIME AND THEY REPLACED THE PCM (2ND TIME THE PCM HAD BEEN REPLACE SINCE PURCHASED 12/31/2011) & THROTTLE BODY (THAT I HAD TO PAY THE DEDUCTIBLE). VEHICLE WAS STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS SO I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER FOR THE 3RD TIME WITHIN A 18 DAY PERIOD. THE SERVICE ADVISOR TOLD ME THAT I COULD BE THE TIPM BUT THEY WOULD HAVE TO SEE IT ACT UP BEFORE THEY COULD REPLACE THE PART, DEALER TOLD ME THAT THE TIPM WAS THE CAUSE OF ALL THE PROBLEMS. THE TIPM WAS REPLACED (HAD TO PAY FOR PARTIAL OF THE COST) AND EVERYTHING WAS WORKING AGAIN. I FEEL THAT EVEN WITH THE TIPM REPLACED THAT I COULD STILL HAVE GOTTEN A POORLY MADE PART AS A REPLACEMENT. I FEEL AT TIME WHILE DRIVING THAT SOME OF THE PROBLEMS ARE STARTING ALL OVER AGAIN, LIKE THE SLIDING DOOR NOT WORKING AND THE HVAC SYSTEM TURNING ON BY ITS SELF. ON 1/22/15 I HAD A FUEL INJECTOR GO BAD AND HAD TO BE REPLACED, MAYBE DUE TO THE TIPM? *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
WE HAVE A 2011 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. WE ARE GETTING TO THE POINT THAT THIS VAN IS NOT WORTH THE STRESS. WE DID NOT GET THIS VAN BRAND NEW HOWEVER IT DIDN'T HAVE MANY MILES, IF I REMEMBER RIGHT 62,000 ON IT. LESS THEN A YEAR AGO WE HAD TO FIX ALL FOUR BRAKES AND ROTORS (AT 65,000 MILES) . LAST WEEK WHEN IT WENT FOR INSPECTION (AT 73600 MILES) IT WOULDN'T PASS BECAUSE OF THE ROTORS, SO ONCE AGAIN WE HAD TO GET THEM FIXED. WE ARE ON DAY 7 AND ARE ALREADY SEEING THE SAME PROBLEM AND KNOWING WE WILL HAVE TO HAVE THEM FIXED AGAIN! I CAN TELL BY HOW THE VAN IS SQUEALING THAT WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO REPLACE THE BRAKES AND ROTORS AGAIN SOON. WE HAVE ALREADY SPENT OVER $1500 IN THE SAME REPAIRS IN LESS THEN A YEAR. I HAVE LOOKED UP DODGE VANS AND I SEE A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. SERIOUSLY I HAVE A FAMILY AND IF THESE BRAKES AND ROTORS FAIL I WILL NOT BE HAPPY. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THERE IS NO RECALL AFTER FINDING SO MANY COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET ABOUT THIS VAN. *TR

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
IN AUGUST 2014 OUR DODGE GRAND CARAVAN (2011) BEGAN HAVING PROBLEMS STARTING UP IMMEDIATELY. THIS CONTINUED AND PROGRESSIVELY GOT WORSE AS TIME WENT ON. WE WERE FORCED TO TRY AND COAX THE VAN TO START BY TURNING THE IGNITION BACK AND FORTH FROM ACCY (ACCESSORY) TO START REPEATEDLY, AT TIMES FOR UP TO 30-45 MINUTES BEFORE IT WOULD START. WE EXPERIENCED THE VAN'S ENGINE SHUTTING OFF FOR NO REASON AT STOPLIGHTS AND IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING. AT ONE POINT, THE FUEL PUMP WOULD NOT TURN OFF EVEN THOUGH THE VAN WAS OFF AND THE KEY REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION. WE WERE FORCED TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY EVERY TIME WE GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE SO AS NOT TO CAUSE POSSIBLE OVERHEATING OF THE FUEL PUMP. ONCE THE FUEL PUMP STOPPED RUNNING WE WERE UNABLE TO START THE VAN AT ALL, LEAVING MY STRANDED IN MY VEHICLE UNTIL I COULD BE PICKED UP. BECAUSE THIS IS OUR ONLY VEHICLE WE WERE FORCED TO GET THE TIPM REPLACED WHICH COST $1114.68. *TR
