ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VISIBILITY/WIPER
ALL THE ELECTRONICS IN MY CAR STARTED GOING CRAZY. MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS (BOTH FWD AND AFT) STARTED, WHILE THE WASHER FLUID WAS BEING DISPENSED, THE CAR HORN WAS BLARING, AND THE ELECTRONIC DOOR LOCKS WERE VERY RAPIDLY BEING CYCLED. WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE CAR STALLED. LUCKILY, I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITHOUT BEING HIT OR CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. THE DODGE DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED IT AS A BAD TOTALLY INTERGRATED POWER MODULE (TIPM) AND REPLACED IT. APPARENTLY, IT DISTRIBUTES ELECTRICAL POWER TO ALL THE SYSTEMS IN THE VEHICLE. SO, WHEN THE CAR STALLED IT WAS DUE TO POWER BEING CUT OFF TO THE FUEL PUMP. I COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN KILLED, DUE TO THE SUDDEN LOSS OF ENGINE POWER OR ANOTHER ELECTRICAL COMPONENT SUCH AS THE AIR BAG, BRAKE, OR TRACTION SYSTEM COULD HAVE BEEN AFFECTED.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
DEALER (DUROCHER DODGE, PLATTSBURGH, NY) HAS YET TO COMPLETE RECALL 14V-234 ON OUR FAMILY VEHICLE. I HAVE CHECKED WITH THEM NUMEROUS TIMES ON IT AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THERE IS NO FIX. IT HAS NOW BEEN ALMOST TWO YEARS SINCE THE RECALL AND I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO USE MY BACK VENT WINDOWS. NOBODY FROM THE DEALERSHIP HAS CALLED ME TO GIVE ME UPDATES AND THIS WILL EVENTUALLY LEAD ME TO RECONNECTING THE WINDOW SWITCH SINCE IT IS NOT GETTING REPAIRED. IT IS VERY CONCERNING.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
POWER TO THE FUEL PUMP. I HAVE NOTICED THAT SOMETIMES THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START AFTER THE FIRST TRY. SOME TIMES I HAVE TO TURN THE KEY TO OFF THEN TO RUN THREE TIMES AND THEN GO TO START. AT THAT POINT THE VEHICLE WILL START. I SOMETIMES CAN'T HEAR THE FUEL PUMP TURN ON WHEN I GO TO START THE CAR. I JUST KEEP TURNING THE KEY OFF AND ON UNTIL I CAN HEAR THE PUMP RUN. IT ALWAYS STARTS AFTER I CAN HEAR THE PUMP TURN ON. ANOTHER PROBLEM IS EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE I WILL JUST HEAR A CLING WHEN GOING TO START THE VEHICLE BUT THE STARTER DOESN'T TURN OVER JUST CLING. THAT HAS HAPPENED TWICE. I GOT THE BATTERY CHECKED OUT BY AAA THE BATTERY WAS JUST WORKING GREAT.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
IN THE YEAR THAT I HAVE OWNED MY VAN, IT HAS EXHIBITED MULTIPLE PROBLEMS, THAT I THOUGHT WERE DIFFERENT ISSUE, BUT I NOW FIND ARE ALL RELATED TO A DEFECT IN THE TIPM. SPORADICALLY, WHETHER VEHICLE WAS COLD, OR NOT, I WOULD PUT THE KEY IN TO START IT AND NOTHING WOULD HAPPEN. NO SOUND, AS IF THE BATTERY WAS COMPLETELY DEAD. I COULD SHIFT THE CAR OUT OF PARK, PUT IT BACK IN PARK, AND THE CAR WOULD START. THE NEXT SYMPTOM THAT EXHIBITED WAS THAT I WOULD TRY TO START THE CAR AND IT WOULD TURN OVER, BUT SOUND AS IF IT WAS OUT OF GAS. IT WOULD EVENTUALLY START. FINALLY IT GOT TO THE POINT THAT IT WOULDN'T START AT ALL. TESTING SHOWED THAT THE BATTERY WAS DEAD. IT WAS RECHARGED AND THE VEHICLE DRIVEN AND TESTED TO DETERMINE THAT THE BATTERY WAS HOLDING A CHARGE, AND THAT THE ALTERNATOR WAS NOT THE ISSUE. THROUGH DIFFERENT TESTING IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE ISSUE WITH TIPM. THE FACT THAT I AM GOING TO BE TASKED WITH A $1500 REPAIR ON A CAR THAT I STILL OWE $14,000 ON IS RIDICUOUS. CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO SEE IF THERE WAS ANY CHANCE THAT THEY MIGHT BE ACKNOWLEDGING THIS ISSUE AND FIX IT. THE ASST. MANAGER STOPPED JUST SHORT OF LAUGHING AT ME.

ON THE MORNING OF APRIL 18, 2015 AROUND 2:30 AM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT OF THE VEHICLE WAS OBSERVED TO BE ON FIRE BY A NEIGHBOR WHO CALLED 911. THE POLICE REPORT STATES THAT THE MINI VAN WAS ALMOST FULLY ENGULFED BY THE TIME THEY ARRIVED. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY SINCE 5 PM THE DAY PRIOR AND HAD NOT BEEN STARTED SINCE THAT TIME. AT THE TIME OF THE FIRE THE VEHICLE HAD ABOUT 10,000 MILES ON IT AND THE CHRYSLER WORK AROUND FOR THE 'VENT WINDOW SWITCH' RECALL HAD BEEN DONE AS THEY DID NOT HAVE THE PART TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM. THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED TO CHRYSLER WHO AFTER ALMOST 10 MONTHS HAS DETERMINED THAT THEY DO NOT SEEM TO KNOW WHAT CAUSED THE FIRE BUT THAT THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE.

WE HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING INTERMITTENT ISSUES WITH OUR VAN NOT STARTING OR STALLING FOR NO REASON. WE ARE ALSO HAVING ISSUES WITH OUR KEY FOB WORKING TO LOCK AND UNLOCK DOORS INTERMITTENTLY. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN EVERY DAY AND CANNOT BE PREDICTED BUT APPEARS TO BE RELATED TO THE IGNITION SWITCH. WE HAVE TAKEN IT FOR SERVICE AND REPLACED BATTERIES IN KEY FOBS. HOWEVER, THE ISSUES HAVE NOT BEEN REPLICATED DURING SERVICE. OUR VAN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE IGNITION RECALL. WE WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST RECONSIDERATION.

WHILE DRIVING THE VAN WILL JUST SHUT OFF THEREFORE LOSING ALL POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. THE ONLY WARNING LIGHT THAT COMES ON IS THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON COUNTRY ROADS AND IN THE CITY. SOMETIMES IT WILL DO IT WHILE TURNING A CURVE AND OTHER TIMES JUST DRIVING STRAIGHT DOWN THE ROAD. THE CURVES ARE THE MOST DANGEROUS SINCE WE LOSE ALL POWER. IT HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES IN ONE DAY AND SOMETIMES NOT FOR DAYS. WE HAVE HAD THE IGNITION SWITCH RECALL PERFORMED WITH NO RESULTS TO THE PROBLEM. WE HAVE HAD IT AT 3 DIFFERENT PLACES TRYING TO FIND A SOLUTION WITH NO RESULTS. THEY SAY BECAUSE NO WARNING LIGHTS COME ON THERE IS NO WAY TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS RESOLVED IMMEDIATELY. I KNOW WE ARE NOT THE ONLY ONES WITH THIS PROBLEM.
