NHTSA Complaint #11446768 — 2013 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN

December 21, 2021 - Crank, no start was the first issued. Had the battery tested and was told that it was dead and the battery was replaced. Random lights on the dashboard started coming on - (lightning bolt symbol and check engine light). Crank no start continued - throttle body and gasket needed to be cleaned/replaced. All spark plugs needed to be replaced (full tune-up). The thermostat blew and had to be replaced. The accelerator sensor intermittently failed then the whole gas pedal assembly had to be replaced. Crank, no start still occurred. Every few times could get the car to start but then stalled randomly - while driving even. The battery was drained completely during the day while the car was parked and all lights were off. Freezing temperatures outside with a car that couldn't start, or get jumped (with a battery that was only 2 weeks old). The van was then inspected again by a service center. Was told by the center that the TIPM was bad and causing all of these electrical failures/problems. TIPM is now being replaced. Now without a car in the winter (with 2 kids) for 3 weeks while trying to diagnose and wait for parts/repairs, and down over $2600 in repairs.
