It appears that I am one of many Dodge owners with tipm issues. At least once a day when going to start the engine, it just cranks and cranks but won't start. After turning off the key and trying one or two or three more times, it will start. The battery is brand new, and the starter is getting plenty of power. Comparing my experience with what I've read online, I firmly believe the issue is the fuel pump relay switch in the tipm. It started months ago, and has gotten worse. My wife drives this vehicle the most, very often with our kids inside. We just have to hope and pray that it will start and not strand them somewhere. So far, we have only had issues while stationary. Thank goodness it hasn't shut off while driving as many other owners have stated. This is why I feel it is an important safety issue. What if it were to shut off in the middle of a freeway or while crossing an intersection? I find it absurd that Dodge (or Fiat Chrysler whatever) would let this issue go while having knowledge of so many tipm issues, even with a class action lawsuit filed against them.

When we fist got the van we experienced some issues with the brakes. The dealership was supposed to take care of it but the problem persisted and we went to a recommended mechanic. Then the following months we had some issues with the motor mounts. Once again we had to replace them and then we had some problems with the electronic computer and we had to re-learn some of the already installed programs. I would like for whoever approves the recalls to go ahead and approve the other issues because for it being a six year old car it definitely has more issues than it should.

Three different times, I took my 2012 Dodge gran Caravan to have the engine check because it stalls out. This happens at any speed. Every time all check out ok per the Dodge repair center. Twice the check engine light was on at the time of the engine stalling. Twice no indication. Engine just quit. It happened again last night (08/30/2017) when my wife was coming home on the interstate. She was in traffic and the engine just quit. Big safety issue. Thank god that she was not in an accident. Some thing is wrong with my gran Caravan. This problem started early this year (2017). First time to a Dodge facility was on 05/23/17, next on 06/05/17 and on 07/07/17.

Multiple attempts to start, perhaps occuring most often in the morning when the vehicle is cold. The problem gets worse over time and eventually won't start at all. Unexplained battery drainage due to a relay that is stuck in the closed/on position. You can likely hear the fuel pump running if listening from the rear of the vehicle after it's turned off. Battery drainage may still occur even after a new battery is installed. The vehicle stalls while driving and you coast to a stop. The vehicle won't start and appears to be out of gas

- Fort Defiance, AZ, USA

The battery light illuminated on the instrument panel. Shortly afterwards, the traction control, ABS, and air bag lights illuminated and the rpms fluctuated while driving my kids to summer camp out of town. When I arrived to my destination the car would not restart due to the battery being dead.I got a jump start and was able to make it to a local store to replace the battery at a cost of $163 and make it home. The next day I still have the same issues.many others have had the same problem and it would appear this is a common problem. I will be making an appointment to have the vehicle towed to the dealer. I am sure it is the alternator and I will need to replace as others have done. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle is not even paid for yet and the failure mileage was just over 52,000. I really hope this issue will be investigated soon.

When the vehicle is in drive but is stationary, everything will turn off. The electrical system goes down and the engine shuts off. After a brief moment (approximately one to two seconds), the electrical system will come back up and all electronic components come back on, but the clock on the radio is reset to 12:00. At this point, we can put the vehicle in park and restart it. This has occurred several times in the past several weeks. The most recent occurrence was 2017.07.07 and it did it twice within fifteen minutes. We do not know for sure what is causing this to occur, but it seems to be connected to the main computer and/or the anti-theft system, as this is a complete system shutdown.

Vehicle has issues starting. At first I thought it was an intermittent electrical problem but then my vehicle stalled on the freeway. I took it in to be serviced in December 2016 and they could not duplicate the problem and concluded that nothing was wrong with the vehicle. Since December the vehicle has stalled while driving on the freeway close TO10 times. After much research and reading other people's stories it seems this is an ongoing issue with a defective tipm. There was a recall on Dodge Caravan made between 2008-2011. This defect is clearly present in other years and models and I find this alarming that Dodge/Chrysler has done nothing. This is a huge safety concern and as a mom to 3 young children, driving a defective, unreliable and unsafe car is unacceptable.

While driving or stationary I will lose all reception on my radio (am/fm) and just get static. The cd player will continue to work. The antenna connection is solid. While this is happening, I will also get flashing on my dash of the hazards and the motor of the heater will give off a grinding noise. I can turn all the equipment off and the car will continue to run. The radio eventually comes back and no other noises occur. This has been occurring for the last year.
