Consumer Description

MY DAUGHTER MADE AN ATTEMPT TO START THE VEHICLE, ONE NIGHT AFTER COMMUNITY THEATER REHEARSAL, TO DRIVE HOME AND FOUND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AND SHE HEARD RANDOM RELAYS CHATTERING THROUGHOUT THE VEHICLE, HAD THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS MOVE, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS FLICKERED ON/OFF ALONG WITH DISPLAYING ERROR CODES OF: "NO FUSE" AND "NO BUS". THE FUEL PUMP COULD BE HEARD RUNNING, EVEN WITH THE KEY OFF AND SHE SAID THE VAN ACTED LIKE IT WAS POSSESSED. BASED ON ONLINE INFORMATION, I REPLACED THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR, WHICH WAS LISTED AS A TOP CULPRIT IN THE PROBLEM AND THAT SOLVED NOTHING. FURTHER RESEARCH INDICATED THE TIPM UNIT IS MOST LIKELY THE CAUSE AND WE FOUND THAT HER MAKE/MODEL OF VEHICLE IS PART OF A LAWSUIT FOR THIS PROBLEM.
