ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
VAN STALLS WHILE DRIVING, THE ENGINE COMPLETELY CUTS OUT WITHOUT WARNING. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE JANUARY 2020. THIS HAPPENS RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING, WHILE STOPPED AT A LIGHT AND AT IDLE WHEN IN PARK. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS BECAUSE THERE IS NO WARNING, MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO GET OUT OF HARMS WAY. SOMETIMES THE VAN WOULD START BACK UP AND OTHER TIMES IT REQUIRED A JUMP START. I HAVE CHANGED MY BATTERY AND STARTER, AND DO NOT HAVE ANY OTHER KEYS ON MY KEY FOB. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE TIPM ( TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE) AND THE IGNITION SWITCH. I HAVE CALLED THE DODGE DEALERSHIP AS WELL AS CHECKED SEVERAL WEBSITES TO SEE IF MY VEHICLE WAS RECALLED. IT IS NOT BASED ON MANUFACTURE DATE AND VIN. I AM AFRAID FOR MYSELF, MY FAMILY AND OTHER INNOCENT DRIVERS. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE THAT WILL CAUSE A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT OR FATALITY. I CANNOT SELL OR TRADE IN THIS VEHICLE KNOWING THAT IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
VEHICLE STARTED HAVE HESITATION WITH STARTING. ONCE STARTED AFTER MANY ATTEMPTS, DURING ACCELERATION THE VEHICLE STILL CAN BE HESITATE IN MOVING. I RECENTLY REPLACED BATTERY WHEREAS THE ISSUE IS THE EXTERNAL FUEL PUMP RELAY WITH THE VEHICLE NOT RECEIVING PROPER AMOUNT OF VOLTAGE WHICH CURRENTLY IS 1. YOUR OTHER VEHICLES SUCH AS JEEPS WERE RECALLED BUT NOT THE DODGE VANS ESPECIALLY THIS PARTICULAR YEAR WHICH IS 201 WHEN IT SHOULD HAVE. CURRENTLY MY VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP FOR ME TO INCUR COST OF THE RELAY PACKAGE WHICH SHOULD HAVE BEEN UNDER SAFETY RECALL P54. PART #CBP4P541AN. UNFORTUNATELY, I CAN NOT WAIT DUE TO FAMILY NEEDS THE VAN DONE IMMEDIATELY BUT REIMBURSEMENT WILL BE NECESSARY. MANY OF YOUR VEHICLES HAVE THIS SAME PART AND ALL SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED ESPECIALLY WITH MANY MOTHERS WITH THEIR FAMILIES UTILIZING YOUR VEHICLES SO HEAVY.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
1ST INCIDENT OCCURRED WHILE ACCELERATING TO PULL ON TO THE HIGHWAY. AFTER ACCELERATING AND REMOVING FOOT FROM PEDAL, THE PEDAL DID NOT RELEASE AND THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO RAPIDLY ACCELERATE. APPLYING THE BRAKES DID NOT STOP THE ENGINE ACCELERATION BUT DID ALLOW US TO EXIT THE HIGHWAY AND SHIFT TO NEUTRAL AND TURN OFF THE CAR. RESTARTING THE CAR, ALL RETURNED TO NORMAL. HOWEVER A LITTLE WHILE LATER WHILE ACCELERATING TO PASS A VEHICLE THE GAS PEDAL ONCE AGAIN STUCK IN THE DOWNWARD POSITION AND WOULD NOT RELEASE. ONCE AGAIN BRAKE WAS APPLIED AND ONLY AFTER THE VEHICLE DROPPED TO AROUND 40 MPH DID THE THROTTLE DISENGAGE.*DT*DT*JB*JB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
A FEW WEEKS AGO MY 2013 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN WOULD HAVE A HARD TIME STARTING UP. A FEW DAYS AFTER THIS HAPPENED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND I TOOK IT IN AND HAD THE BATTERY REPLACED. THIS PAST WEEK THE SAME ISSUE STARTED HAPPENING. IT WOULD CRANK UP, BUT NOT TURN OVER. THIS HAPPENED 3 TIMES BEFORE THE CAR ACTUALLY STARTED. I ALSO NOTICED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WOULD LOCK AND UNLOCK WHEN IT FELT LIKE IT (WHEN THE CAR WAS ON) AND THE ALARM LIGHTS WOULD WORK INTERMITTENTLY (WHEN TRYING TO ARM THE CAR). YESTERDAY IT CRANKED UP AND IT TOOK 3 TIMES TO TURN OVER. WHEN I GOT OUT OF WORK IT WOULD CRANK, BUT DIDN'T TURN OVER AT ALL. I HAD TO GET A JUMP AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT TO AN AUTO SHOP. THEY KEPT IT OVERNIGHT, CALLED, AND SAID I HAD TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER BECAUSE THEY CONCLUDED IT WAS A BAD TIPM MODULE.
