FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
AFTER FILLING THE FUEL TANK UP, THE VEHICLE STALLS, STUTTERS, OR SHUTS DOWN AFTER ENTERING INTO TRAFFIC. AFTER IT DOES SHUT DOWN, IT IS TYPICALLY DIFFICULT TO RESTART. THE TYPE OF DRIVING ENVIRONMENT DOES NOT MATTER - CITY/COMMUNITY STOP AND GO TRAFFIC OR HIGHWAY SPEEDS FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME. AFTER THE VEHICLE IS RESTARTED, WE DO NOT HAVE A PROBLEM AGAIN UNTIL THE NEXT TIME THE VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE REFUELED. THE GAS TANK, FUEL FILTER, AND FUEL PUMP WERE ALL REPLACED BY THE DEALER PRIOR TO 100,000 MILES TO ELIMINATED A HIGH PITCHED WHINE COMING FROM THE FUEL TANK AREA EVERY TIME THE FUEL LEVEL DIPPED BELOW HALF A TANK. MOST OF THE TIME, THE VEHICLE DECIDES TO STALL OR SHUT OFF AS WE ARE ACCELERATING TO JOIN TRAFFIC - LEAVING FROM THE GAS STATION. ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS WE HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT FROM BEHIND BECAUSE THE VEHICLE JUST STOPS. THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD, CATALYTIC CONVERTER, UPSTREAM AND DOWNSTREAM O2 SENSORS HAVE ALL BEEN REPLACED WITH OEM/MANUFACTURER STANDARD PARTS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I WAS DRIVING APPROX 40MPH WHEN THE VAN SUDDENLY SHUT OFF. NO POWER STEERING, BRAKES, NOTHING. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO PULL INTO A GAS STATION AND APPLY THE PARKING BRAKE. IT ONLY HAPPENED ONCE BUT NOW VAN IS NOT RECOGNIZING WHEN THE KEY IS REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION. DEALER SAYS ITS THE WIN NODE. I NOTICED THE RECALL OF THIS PART AND HOW IT HAS BEEN EXPANDED OVER THE PAST YEAR. CHYSLER SAYS MY VEHICLE ISNT INVOLVED IN THE RECALL BUT I HOPE SOMEONE LOOKS INTO IT FURTHER. MY VEHICLE WAS BUILT IN OCTOBER 2010 NEAR THE END OF THE MODEL YEAR. SEEMS VERY LIKELY TO ME THAT PARTS FROM OTHER FACILITIES COULD HAVE BEEN SHIPPED TO A DIFFERENT PLANT TO FINISH OUT THE YEAR'S ACTIVITY.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
OUR 2011 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN WOULD NOT START AND LOCKED THE KEY IN THE IGNITION. WE HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP. WAS TOLD THE PROBLEM WAS IGNITION MODULE AND IT WAS REPLACED AT A COST OF OVER $700.00 DOLLARS. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN HOME AND WHEN WE TRIED TO GO SOMEWHERE THE NEXT DAY, THE BATTERY WAS DEAD AND THE KEY LOCKED UP IN THE IGNITION AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS JUMP STARTED AND WE TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT SAT FOR ALMOST 2 WEEKS. WE WERE TOLD THAT THEY WERE ABLE TO CRANK THE VEHICLE EVERYDAY WITH NO PROBLEM. WE WENT AND PICKED THE VEHICLE UP AND DROVE HOME.(WE LIVE ALMOST 3 HOURS AWAY). NEXT DAY SAME THING HAPPENED AND NOW WE ARE HAVING TO TAKE THE VEHICLE BACK FOR A 3RD TIME.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY/WIPER
AS OTHERS HAVE DOCUMENTED, WHETHER AT A STAND STILL OR DRIVING AT VARYING SPEEDS, HORN STARTS BEEPING ON ITS OWN ALONG WITH WIPERS GOING AND WASHER FLUID SPRAYING. AFTER THE EVENT, FRONT A/C CONTROL KNOB STARTS CONTROLLING THE BACK VENTS OR DOES NOTHING AT ALL. NO CENTER BUTTONS (DEFROST, A/C, ETC..) WORK - IT'S LIKE THEY'RE ALL DEAD. JUST PURCHASED VEHICLE. WILL PROBABLY RETURN AS A LEMON.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WE HAVE HAD OUR 2011 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN FOR 2 YEARS AND APPROXIMATELY 30,000 MILES. WE HAD TO HAVE THE TIPM REPLACED IN JULY 2015. WE HAVE HAD SEVERAL INSTANCES THAT REQUIRED A TOW AS THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START OR STAY RUNNING. THE TIPM BURNED THE FUEL PUMP OUT AND THAT WAS THE LAST STRAW. THE TIPM WAS REPLACED UNDER THE AFTER MARKET WARRANTY THAT WE PAID FOR BUT WHAT OTHER DAMAGE COULD THIS PART HAVE CAUSED TO OUR VEHICLE? IT CONTROLS EVERYTHING THE CAR DOES FOR THE MOST PART. WILL THERE BE AN INVESTIGATION OF THE DODGE TIPM? THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL FOR ALL VEHICLES AFFECTED WHICH SEEMS TO BE QUITE A LOT.
