I AM HAVING A INTERMITTENT ISSUE WITH MY HEADLIGHTS, THEY ARE SHUTING OFF WHILE DRIVING AND ALTHOUGH CRYSLER HAS A LIFETIME WARRANTY ON THE HEAD LIGHT SWITHCH FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE MY VEHICLE VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS WARRANTY. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND SHOULD BE A RECALL AS PEOPLE COULD BE IN DANGER OF CRASHING IF THIS HAPPENS AND THEY ARE UNABLE TO SEE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
DURING PARK REAR PASSENGER DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE MANUALLY AND ELECTRONICALLY, SOMEONE FROM THE OUTSIDE HAS TO OPEN THE DOOR. THE UNLOCK MECHANISM IS UP BUT THE DOOR BUTTON FROM THE INSIDE WOULD NOT PUSH DOWN, THEREFORE NOT ALLOWING THE VAN DOOR TO OPEN. THIS IS BIG SAFETY PROBLEM, NO ONE CAN GET OUT MANUALLY AND ELECTRONICALLY FROM THE INSIDE. TOOK IT TO DODGE AND THEY CLAIM IT'S THE WIRE, BUT IT'S NOT BECAUSE THE WIRE IN GREAT CONDITION, BECAUSE IT'S BEEN REPLACE AND STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. IT'S NOT MOTOR BECAUSE ONCE IN A BLUE MOON IT WOULD OPEN PARTIALLY, BUT IT WOULD CLOSED AUTOMATICALLY IMMEDIATELY. I HAVE FILE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS TO DODGE BUT NOTHING WAS DONE. I BELIEVE IT'S ELECTRONIC PROBLEM, WHICH HAS TO DO WITH ECM (ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULAR). PLEASE CONTACT DODGE GRAND CARAVAN TO DILIGENTLY CHECK INTO THIS SAFETY ISSUE. THANK YOU. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY/WIPER, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE INSTRUMENT PANEL RANDOMLY LIGHTS UP WITH ALL WARNING LIGHTS AND CHIMES GOING OFF SIMULTANEOUSLY, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ACTIVATING AND HEADLIGHTS FLASHING. STOPPING THE CAR, TURNING IT OFF AND ON DOESN'T RESET THE PROBLEM, BUT IT RANDOMLY GOES AWAY AND DOESN'T HAPPEN AGAIN FOR TWO WEEKS OR A MONTH. IT HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED OR IN MOTION, WHILE THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING. I SEE AN OPEN NHTSA INVESTIGATION MATCHING THIS ON MY VEHICLE, FOR A TIPMODULE

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
AT FIRST STARTING MY DODGE GRAND CARAVAN MAINSTREET WAS A HEADACHE. WE WOULD GO OUT TO START OUR CARAVAN AND IT TOOK ABOUT 20 TO 30 CRANKS BEFORE IT WOULD TURN OVER. IT STOPPED CRANKING ON SATURDAY DECEMBER 5, 2015. WE HAD TO GET IT TOWED HOME. MIND YOU I WORK 2 JOBS AND HAD TO BE AT MY SECOND JOB ON SATURDAY AT 2:30 PM. WE GOT IT TOWED AND HAD A MECHANIC COME OUT TO LOOK AT IT. HE FOUND THAT THE STARTER HAD STOPPED. WE TOOK THE STARTER TO AN AUTO PARTS STORE FOR THEM TO CHECK IT. THE STARTER HAD DIED. WE PURCHASED THE STARTER AND GOT IT INSTALLED AND OUR CAR STILL WOULD NOT STAY CRANKED. THE MECHANIC TESTED ALL OUR FUSES AND OUR FUSE PUMP AND FOUND THAT ONE OF OUR FUSED(M25) THAT GOES TO THE FUEL PUMP WAS NOT GETTING ENOUGH POWER TO IT. RESEARCHING ONLINE I FOUND THAT DODGE HAS A CIVIL SUIT AGAINST THEM FOR THE TIPM(TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE). I HAVE HAD TO WALK 2 HOURS TO GET TO MY SECOND JOB. ON SOME DAYS I HAVE TO PAY FOR A TAXI(TOTAL COST AT $46 DOLLARS) THAT IS MORE THAN I MAKE A DAY AT MY SECOND JOB. I GO TO SEE IF THERE IS A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE FOR THE TIPM AND ITS NOT. WHAT DO YOU DO? I NEED TRANSPORTATION. I PAY A CAR NOTE OF $480.00 A MONTH AND I CAN'T AFFORD TO GET THIS FIXED. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER DODGE. WHEN ALL OF THIS STARTED MY AIRBAG LIGHTS POPPED ON AND MY BRAKE LIGHTS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MY GRAND CARAVAN HAS ISSUES STARTING, IT JUST CRANKS AND DOES NOT START. I HAD A DODGE MECHANIC CHECK IT OUT AND HE FOUND IT HAD THE COMMON ISSUE OF A BAD FUEL PUMP RELAY IN THE TIPM. THIS SAME ISSUE EXISTS IN THE DURANGO OF THE SAME YEAR AND IT HAS A RECAL, WHY TFK AREN'T THE CARAVANS INCLUDED. IT'S THE SAME FIX INSTALLING AN EXTERNAL RELAY BYPASSING THE ONE ON THE TIPM.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I WAS INFORMED IN APPROXIMATELY 2013 OR 2014 OF A SAFETY RECALL REGARDING THE WIRELESS IGNITION MODULE AND KEY FOB. I RECEIVED ADDITIONAL NOTIFICATION THAT PARTS WERE READY IN EARLY 2015 REGARDING THIS RECALL. I HAVE TRIED TO SCHEDULE SERVICE FOR THIS RECALL WITH THREE SEPARATE DEALERS NUMEROUS TIMES. I HAVE BEEN TOLD IT IS UNKNOWN WHEN PARTS WILL BE READY. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE TURN OFF DUE TO THIS ISSUE. THE DODGE PAPERWORK STATES THEY ARE CONCERNED WITH MY SAFETY. AND THE RECALL SHOULD BE COMPLETE IN A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME. IT HAS NOW BEEN YEARS SINCE NOTIFICATION, AND NEARLY A YEAR SINCE PARTS HAVE BEEN "READY" AND THE RECALL STILL ISN'T COMPLETE. ACCORDING TO DODGE STATISTICS, AS OF OCT 26, 2015, ONLY 192,616 OF 724,503 VEHICLES HAVE BEEN COMPLETED. THIS IS NOT IN A REASONABLE TIME AND I FEEL AS IF DODGE IS SLOW ROLLING THIS RECALL TO SAVE THEMSELVES MONEY. THIS RECALL IS SIMILAR TO A 2010 RECALL.

THE ELECTRIC DOOR LOCKS DO NOT WORK UNLESS YOU RESET THE COMPUTER BY REMOVING THE BATTERY CABLE FOR ONE MIN. AND CONNECTING IT BACK. COMPUTER NEEDS TO BE FLASHED FOR A PERMANENT FIX. THE REMOVING THE CABLE IS JUST A TEMPORARY FIX.I BOUGHT IT BROKEN.
