NHTSA Complaint #11252891 — 2009 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN

MY VAN STALLS WHEN DECELERATING FROM HIGHWAY SPEED TO OFF RAMP YIELD. I HAVE TAKEN TO MECHANICS AND DEALER AND SPENT TOO MUCH MONEY ON NOT GETTING THE PROBLEM FIXED. I DID SOME RESEARCHED AND NOTICED ON THE FORUMS THAT THIS IS AN EXISTING PROBLEM THAT HAS NOT RESULTING IN A VEHICLE RECALL . THE PROBLEM LOOKS LIKE IT HAS TO DO WITH THE TIPM FUEL RELAY. MY VAN ONLY HAS 142,000 MILES ON IT , THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE HANDLED BY THE AUTO MAKER, NOT HAVING CUSTOMERS SPEND NEEDLESS MONEY ON DEALER RECOMMENDED FIXES THAT DO NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I JUST SPENT OVER 700 TO HAVE DEALER RECOMMENDED REPAIRS OF THROTTLE BODY SERVICE AND TUNE UP AND THIS DID NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE. WHY IS IT THAT AS A CONSUMER I NEED TO DO MY OWN DIAGNOSIS WHEN PROBLEM HAPPENED JUST THIS PAST WEEKEND AFTER DEALER RECOMMENDED SOLUTIONS DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM! NOW MY SON IS LEAVING IN 3 DAYS FOR SCHOOL WITH THE VEHICLE AND I NEED TO FIND A REPAIR SHOP TO TRY TO FIX THE PROBLEM INSTEAD OF YOU AS THE CAR COMPANY TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR A KNOWN ISSUE.
