EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE HEADLIGHTS INTERMITTENTLY WORK, BUT MOSTLY DO NOT LIGHT UP WHETHER TURNING ON THE HEADLIGHTS USING THE MAIN SWITCH. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO TURN ON THE HEADLIGHTS, THE LIGHTS WILL FLICKER SEVERAL TIMES AND THEN GO OUT. MY WIFE WAS DRIVING HOME FROM THE GROCERY STORE AND THE POLICE PULLED HER OVER AND ASKED WHY SHE WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT NIGHT WITH HER HEADLAMPS OFF. MY WIFE NOTICED, BUT THOUGHT A HEADLAMP HAD BURNED OUT. MY WIFE SETUP AN APPOINTMENT AT A EXPERIENCED MECHANIC WHO SHOT THE WIRES AND DID NOT IDENTIFY ANY ISSUES WITH THE HEADLAMP SWITCH ASSEMBLY OR THE WIRES. WE HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WITH DODGE DEALERSHIP IN A FEW DAYS, HOWEVER, READING ONLINE THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT COULD ENTAIL A CIRCUIT DEFICIENCY WITHIN THE TOTAL INTEGRATED POWER MANAGEMENT (TIPM) MODULE. WE JUST PURCHASED THE VAN FROM A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP 2 MONTHS AGO AND THIS IS VERY UNACCEPTABLE THAT THE HEADLIGHTS INTERMITTENTLY WORK. THE VAN IS GROUNDED FROM OPERATION AT NIGHT AND DURING INCLEMENT WEATHER CONDITIONS AS THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE CONDITION.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
VAN WOULD CRANK BUT WOULD NOT START. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS IT STARTED BUT RAN ERRATIC. AFTER DRIVING VAN FOR ~20 MINUTES VAN BEGAN TO HESITATE WHILE DRIVING AT 55 MPH ON A STATE HIGHWAY. I RESEARCHED PROBLEM ON INTERNET AND NOTICED OTHER WITH A SIMILAR PROBLEM. I ALSO NOTICED CHRYSLER ANNOUNCED A RECALL ON 2011 DODGE DURANGO AND JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE SUVS FOR A VERY SIMILAR PROBLEM BUT NOT FOR THE GRAND CARAVAN. THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE THE FUEL PUMP RELAY IN THE TIPM. I DISCUSSED THE PROBLEM WITH MY LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND THE SERVICE ADVISER INDICATED THAT HE WAS AWARE OF THE RECALL AND HAD ALSO SEEN THE SIMILAR ISSUE ON VANS. THE DEALERSHIP BYPASSED THE RELAY USING MOPAR PART CBWPR091AA WIRING - FUEL PUMP RELAY. PART WAS $18.88 AND TOTAL BILL WITH LABOR WAS $176.00. THE VAN APPEARS TO BE OPERATING NORMALLY AT THIS TIME.
