ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE FIRST INSTANCE OF MY ELECTRICAL SYSTEM GOING HAYWIRE WAS AROUND JULY 31, 2014. IT WAS A QUICK MOMENT THAT HAPPENED WHILE I WAS COMING TO A STOP. THE WIPERS STARTED GOING ON THEIR OWN, THE HORN HONKED, THE WINDSHIELD FLUID STARTED SPRAYING, AND MY LOCKS STARTED GOING UP AND DOWN. IT STOPPED AFTER ABOUT A MINUTE THEN STARTED AGAIN IN THE AFTERNOON FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES, UNTIL I UNPLUGGED THE BATTERY. IT BECAME AN INTERMITTENT ISSUE THAT I WOULD THINK WENT AWAY AND THEN WOULD HAPPEN RANDOMLY. I DECIDED TO BRING MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPT IN OCTOBER OF 2014, WHERE THEY DIAGNOSED THE ISSUE AS MY NEEDING A NEW WIN MODULE. HOWEVER, AFTER THAT REPLACEMENT, THE ISSUE CONTINUED. THE ISSUE HAPPENS WHENEVER IT FEELS LIKE HAPPENING. WHETHER THE KEYS ARE IN THE IGNITION AND I AM DRIVING OR IF I AM SITTING IN MY OFFICE BUILDING, A DISTANCE AWAY FROM MY CAR, WITH MY KEYS AT MY DESK. MY KEYS CAN BE IN THE IGNITION, OR OUT OF THE IGNITION. IT DOESN'T MATTER. MY CAR DOES AS IT PLEASES, WHEN IT PLEASES. AGAIN, THE LOCKS, WIPERS, AND WINDSHIELD FLUID JUST START GOING ON THEIR OWN. THE HORN ALSO GOES, BUT I HAVE REMOVED THE HORN FUSES SO I DO NOT HONK AT RANDOM PEOPLE WHEN I AM DRIVING. SOME FORUMS SAY THIS IS A TIPM ISSUE. SOME SAY IT IS AN IGNITION MODULE ISSUE. SOME SAY IT HAS TO DO WITH THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR WIRING. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE REASON IS. I HAVE SPENT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS "FIXING" THIS ISSUE BUT IT IS STILL HAPPENING. HERE IS A LINK TO A VIDEO OF THE MOST RECENT OCCURRENCE ON 7/28/15.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SERVICE BRAKES, AIR BAGS
I RECEIVED SAFETY RECALL L25/NHTSA 14V-373 EARLIER THIS YEAR ADVISING ME OF THE PROBLEM WITH THE IGNITION KEY BUT SAYING THAT I WOULD BE CONTACTED AGAIN BY MAIL WITH A FOLLOW-UP NOTICE WHEN THE REMEDY PART IS AVAILABLE. IN JUNE 2015, I RECEIVED SAFETY RECALL R03/NHTSA 14V-373 WHICH REPLACED SAFETY RECALL L25. ON JUNE 10, 2015 I CONTACTED MY CHRYSLER DEALER TO SCHEDULE THE REPAIR. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THEY HAD TO ORDER THE PART AND WHEN THEY RECEIVED THE PART THEY WOULD SCHEDULE A REPAIR APPOINTMENT. AS OF THIS DATE, JULY 27, 2015, I HAVE CALLED THEM BACK TWICE AND ALL THEY CAN TELL ME IS THAT THE PART IS STILL ON ORDER AND THEY DO NOT KNOW WHEN THEY WILL RECEIVE IT.

ENGINE, STEERING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE FIRST THING THAT HAPPENED WAS; WE WERE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE VAN JUST STOPPED RUNNING. LUCKILY WE WERE ONLY GOING 20 MILES PER HOUR AND THERE WASNT A LOT OF TRAFFIC. THE POWER STEERING WASNT WORKING BUT MY HUSBAND WAS ABLE TO STEER THE VAN OFF THE ROAD TO SAFETY. WE CALLED AAA AND MY HUSBAND WENT TO THE STORE TO GET DRY GAS BECAUSE WE THOUGHT THAT THERE MAY HAVE BEEN MOISTURE IN THE TANK FROM CONDENSATION. WHEN HE GOT BACK TO THE VAN HE PUT IN THE DRY GAS AND HE DECIDED TO TRY TO TURN THE VAN ON AND IT TURNED OVER. WE WENT HOME AFTER THAT. AFTER THAT THE VAN SEEMS TO WORK FOR A WHILE, THEN ONE DAY MY HUSBAND CAME HOME FROM WORK AND TRIED TO SHUT THE VAN OFF, BUT IT WOULD NOT SHUT OFF. THE HORN STARTED BLOWING AND THE WIPES, WIPER FLUID, LIGHTS AND DOOR LOCKS WERE ALL WORKING ALL BY THEMSELVES. WE UNATTACHED THE WIRES TO THE BATTERY BUT THAT DID NOT WORK AND FINALLY STARTED PULLING FUSES UNTIL IT ALL STOPPED. HE DROVE TO WORK WITHOUT THE FUSES UNTIL WE COULD GET IT FIXED. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY SAID THAT THERE WAS A RECALL AROUND MAY 2015. WE BROUGHT THE VAN INTO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE IGNITION MODULE AND GAVE US NEW KEY FOBS. THE VAN STALLED AGAIN ON THE WAY HOME FROM WORK AND WE CALLED AAA TO GET THE VAN AND TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID THAT THEY CHECKED ALL THE ELECTRIC AND RAN A PURGE MONITOR TEST AND OTHERS. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING THE MATTER WITH THE VAN AND CHARGED US $200. JUST RECENTLY WE WERE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC AT AROUND 20 MILES PER HOUR AND THE VAN STALLED AGAIN. THIS TIME WE DID NOT HAVE TIME TO MOVE IT AND A TRUCK DRIVER HELPED TO PUSH US OUT OF TRAFFIC. MY HUSBAND TOOK THE WIRES OFF THE BATTERY AND PUT IT BACK ON AND THE VAN STARTED. WE WENT TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND BOUGHT A CAR THAT DAY. WE STILL OWN THE VAN, BUT I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT.

RECALL RO3 IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL FOR WIRELESS IGNITION NODE MODULE I REQUESTED THE SERVICE ORDER FOR THE IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL ON 6/15/2015 RECEIVED ON 6/11/15.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WEEK AFTER WEEK I WAIT TO HAVE THE RECALL WORK DONE ON MY VEHICLE, AND THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP REPEATEDLY EXPLAINS THAT THE REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE UNAVAILABLE FROM THE MAKER. CHRYSLER CORPORATE OFFICES CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS ARE UNAVAILABLE AND THAT THERE IS A LONG LIST OF PEOPLE WAITING FOR THEIR PARTS. WITH THIS EXTREMELY UNSAFE CONDITION OF THE IGNITION SWITCH CUTTING OFF AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKING AND LACK OF POWER BREAKS, IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE THAT CHRYSLER HAS SPENT NEARLY A YEAR SINCE THE INITIAL COMPLAINT AND STILL CANNOT CORRECT THE ISSUE. THE RECALL IS OUT, BUT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO GET THE PROBLEM FIXED BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT SUPPLYING PARTS TO THEIR DEALERSHIPS.
