2011 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN Fuelpropulsion System Problems

V51 recall cause problems with power control module. Poor fuel economy Trouble starting/ restarting Engine not receiving power

Dealership still cannot pinpoint exactly what is wrong but the car does not start. One time it’ll start and the next it won’t. It’s actually left me stranded in the cold because that seems to be the only time it won’t start. It’s happened to many other grand caravan owners too. No mechanic I’ve taken it to can solve the problem I’ve spent so much money replacing parts on this car.

The TIPM failed which caused a loss of power to the vehicle and power to the fuel pump. I was driving at approximately 60 MPH when the vehicle lost all power and the steering wheel felt locked. I was unable to turn the steering wheel as the Dodge Grand Caravan came to a quick stop as if it was out of gas. Luckily I reacted quickly and was able to avoid an accident. After approximately 10 minutes of trying to restart the vehicle and drive to a safe location the vehicle restarted. This happened again when I was driving and came to a red light at a major intersection and the vehicle stalled out as if out of gas and the steering locked. I again tried to restart the vehicle intermittently for 15 minutes; after which it finally restarted, and I was able to drive and get out of the...

This vehicle always fails to start in the colder weather. After a review of this condition. It has been found that the fuel pump relay does not send proper signal. This relay is a part of the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM). When it fails to operate, the vehicle will experience long crank times. With its ignition switch style, as soon as you turn the key, the vehicle will continue to crank UNLESS you manually turn the switch all the way back to the off position. This condition will cause the starter motor to overheat or burn up. Eventually the vehicle may start then die. Fuel delivery is too inconsistent when colder weather arises. You can't just replace a plug-in-style replacement fuel pump relay since it is a part of the whole TIPM. This vehicle has not yet died in traffic or on the highway thank God. There is never...

The tipm fuel pump relay is stuck causing the fuel pump to stay on even when the vehicle is turned off and the key is not in the ignition switch. This problem is, its dangerous if I was ever to be in an accident and fuel pump will stay on according to the mechanic. Also my car battery is drained after an hour making it undrivable until I call a tow or get a jump start. It was inspected by a mechanic and the vehicle is available for inspection. No warning lamps were on or previous symptoms before 4/30/21. Only the sound of a running fuel pump when the car is completely off. Mechanic states car is known to have this issue. Recalls were made for other dodge vehicles with same part number but they failed to include the this model.

Car starts intermittently especially when In colder conditions takes 3 to 4 starts , hard to start , put in neutral and starts right away ,car feels like it’s going to stall out when accelerating at times

The accelerator pedal sticks in full throttle and forces the car to speed forward. Brakes barely overcome the acceleration and the engine will accelerate from a complete stop. Super dangerous and there are a number of threads on vehicle forums that describe the situation

Vehicle shakes, dash lights flash on an off, doesn't want to accelerate, check engine light flashes occasionally. Mechanic has run diagnostic tests, the only code the vehicle is showing is oil pressure.

The fuel pump relay failed. This is a very common problem with Caravans, and is very expensive to fix. The Grand Cherokee and Durango have the same design, and there is a recall on those models. The Caravan should have a recall declared as well. Thank you.

purchased van no problem mechanic gave great review following week wouldnt start mechanic said tipm is bad we had tipm rep[laced already 3 times and now its bad again this time i was with my family when van completly shut off on highway doing 70 miles a hour we have to carry a jumper battery pack with us to start van i called crysler and they informed me there is no problems with my vans tipm well thats funny google has over 45 thousand articles about these problems and nobody does anything about it till people die

THE GAS PUMP STAYS ACTIVATED AFTER THE CAR IS TURNED OFF; AS A CONSEQUENCE IT HAS DRAINED THE CAR BATTERY TWICE.

RELAY FUEL PUMP IS NOT FUNCTIONING

IT STARTED WITH MY VEHICLE NOT STARTING INTERMITTENTLY. AS THE PROBLEM GOT WORSE AT FIRST THOUGHT IT MAY BE THE FUEL PUMP. HAVING THIS REPLACED. THE VAN HAS COMPLETED WENT DEAD WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC AND HAD KIDS IN CAR WITH ME. TRIES TO GO DEAD WHILE SITTING IDLE AT REDLIGHTS AND WILL SHAKE DURING ACCELARATION AND TRIES TO QUIT. READING ALOT ON THIS AND OTHERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. OTHER VEHICLES HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR SAME ISSUES ALSO. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND ADDRESS ASAP BEFORE SOMEONE IS INJURIED OR KILLED DUE TO THE VEHICLE GOING DEAD WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC. PLEASE HELP ON GETTING THIS RECALL GOING. THIS IS NOT SAFE AT ALL!!!

VEHICLE WILL TURN OVER BUT NOT START AND OTHER TIMES IT WILL FINALLY START BUT THEN WILL DIE RIGHT AWAY. WE HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING UNDER THE STARS TO FIX IT AND ITS GETTING TO THE POINT THAT WE DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. OUR BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR ARE GOOD EVERYTHING ELSE WORKS JUST FINE. THE VEHICLE IS ALWAYS PARKED ON FLAT SURFACE.

OCTOBER 8,2020 I WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT DOWN HILL ON A CITY STREET IN PUYALLUP, WA WHEN THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN WITHOUT WARNING. I HAD NO STEERING, BRAKES, OR ANYWAY TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE. I MANAGED TO COAST INTO A NEARBY LOWES HARDWARE PARKING LOT AND RAN INTO A BARRIER IN ORDER TO STOP. I WAS LUCKY THERE WERE NO PEOPLE OR OTHER CARS IN MY PATH OF TRAVEL WHEN I ENTERED AS I WAS UNABLE TO STOP. I CALLED MY INSURER, GEICI, AND ARRANGED FOR THE VEHICLE TO BE TOWED. TOWING WAS PERFORMED BY ENGELS TOWING , PUYALLUP, WA (253) 845-0034. CHECKING ONLINE I DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL PUMP AND NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED. I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. I, MY FAMILY, OR OTHERS COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOULY INJURED OR KILLED.

VAN WILL BOG DOWN AND THEN JUST SHUT OFF. WILL ALSO TAKE 5-6 TIMES BEFORE IT WILL RESTART. THE ELECTRICAL GOES HAYWIRE RANDOMLY. FOUND OUT THE TIPM IS BAD AND THERE WAS A RECALL ON OTHER VEHICLES DOING THE SAME EXACT THING DURING THE SAME YEARS.

AT 46,000 MILES TIPM HAD TO BE REPROGRAMMED AFTER FUEL PUMP FAILURE DUE TO RELAY. REPAIR COST WAS OVER $2300.00. NOW AT 62,900 MILE THE ALTERNATOR BURNED OUT AND PCM HAS TO BE REPLACED AND REPROGRAMMED.

WHEN YOU PUT THE KEY IN IT IT JUST CRANKS AND CRANKS AND CRANKS BUT NEVER STARTS. WHEN IT FIRST STARTED IT WAS JUST OCCASIONALLY BUT NOW IT WONT START AT ALL SO IT JUST SITS IN THE DRIVEWAY. I'M A GRANDMOTHER RAISING HER GRANDCHILDREN BE NICE TO HAVE A VEHICLE TO TAKE THE BABIES TO THEIR APPTS. BUT OBVIOUSLY DODGE DOESN'T CARE BECAUSE THEY ARE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND DONT WANT TO MAKE THE PART AVAILABLE TO US TO FIX IT SO WE SPEND THE MONEY FOR THESE VEHICLE TO SET IN OUR DRIVEWAYS. I PURCHASED THE VAN ON A FRIDAY AND WITHIN A WEEK IT STARTED HIT AND MISS STARTING AND BY THE SECOND WEEK IN IS NOW PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY. THIS IS CRAZY DODGE YOU NEED TO MAKE THIS RIGHT OR AT LEAST MAKE THE PART AVAILABLE FOR US TO PURCHASE SO WE CAN FIX...

VAN WON'T START SEVERAL TIME A WEEK BECAUSE OF A FAULTY T.I.P.M. DODGE KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND WON'T WARRANTY IT BECAUSE THEY HAVE NOT BEEN FORCED TO RECALL THIS PART/PROBLEM. MY WIFE USE'S THIS VAN FOR HER JOB AND IS IN SOME BAD NEIGHBORHOODS AND IS SCARED SOMEONE WILL HURT HER AND SHE CAN'T GET AWAY BECAUSE VAN WON'T START. THERE ARE SEVERAL PLACES ON THE INTERNET THAT REBUILDS THESE T.I.P.M.'S BECAUSE OF KNOWN PROBLEMS. DODGE EVEN HAS A BYPASS TO THE FUEL PUMP AS AN AFTERMARKET PART TO FIX SOME OF THESE ISSUES BUT NOT ALL OF THE PROBLEMS.THE FUEL PUMP RELAY HAS INTERMITTENT POWER TO THE RELAY AND THAT IS CAUSING THE NO START PROBLEM. THE INTERNET HAS PAGE AFTER PAGE'S OF CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS THAT HAS HAD OR HAVING THIS PROBLEM. THIS HAPPENS ALL TIMES DURING THE DAY WHEN STATIONARY. VAN CAN WORK PERFECT THEN WE STOP...

VAN DOESNT ALWAYS START, TAKING MANY TRIES TO TURN OVER. HAS BEEN TO DODGE AND OTHER MECHANIC SEVERAL TIMES. BEEN TOLD THAT THE TIPM/ FUEL PUMP RELAY IS THE ISSUE. VAN HAS SHUT OFF INTERMITTENTLY ON THE HIGHWAY ON TWO OCCASIONS.

THE FUEL PUMP RELAY ON THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE (TIPM) ON MY 2011 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN IS OPERATING INTERMITTENTLY WHICH IS CAUSING ENGINE STALLS AND HARD STARTS. AFTER RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM, I FOUND THAT THERE IS ALREADY A RECALL (SAFETY RECALL R09 / NHTSA 15V-115) FOR THE SAME ISSUE FOR OTHER DODGE AND JEEP VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH THE SAME ENGINE & TIPMS. TROUBLESHOOTING HAS VERIFIED THAT THE FUEL PUMP RELAY IS INDEED THE ISSUE. AN ATTEMPTING TO PURCHASE THE RELAY KIT CBWPR091AA SPECIFIED IN THE RECALL FROM MY LOCAL DODGE DEALER IN CONWAY ARKANSAS FAILED. THEY TELL ME THEY CAN'T SELL ME THE PART BECAUSE THE RECALL DOES NOT COVER MY VEHICLE AND THAT I WOULD HAVE TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN FOR A $1000+ TIPMS BOARD REPLACEMENT. DODGE IS EXTORTING EXORBITANT AMOUNTS FROM THEIR CUSTOMERS FOR EXPENSIVE REPAIRS THAT COULD BE DONE AT A TINY FRACTION OF THE...

IT STARTED WITH MY VEHICLE NOT STARTING INTERMITTENTLY. AS THE PROBLEM GOT WORSE AT FIRST WE THOUGHT IT MAY BE THE FUEL PUMP. AFTER EXTENSIVE SEARCHING IT WAS REVEALED TO BE A FAULTY TIPM MODULE THAT CAUSES ISSUES WITH THE FUEL SYSTEM. I CONTACTED DODGE AND THEY VALIDATED THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. THERE HAS BEEN RECALLS LISTED FOR MOST VEHICLES WITH THIS SAME MODULE, HOWEVER NOT FOR THE DODGE GRAND CARAVAN, I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY. THE ISSUE HAS NOW ESCALATED. WHILE DRIVING IN THE PITCH DARK TO WORK THE VEHICLE STARTED ACTING FUNNY, THEN ALL POWER SHUT OFF, STEERING LOCKED, FOB LOCKED IN IGNITION, NO LIGHTS, NO BLINKERS, RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WHILE DRIVING. I HAD JUST DROPPED OFF MY SON SO GLAD HE WASN'T WITH ME. IT SEEMS THE PROBLEM ALL GOES BACK TO THE TIPM WHICH HAS BEEN DRAINING MY BATTERY...

AFTER VEHICLE SITS FOR A PERIOD OF TIME ESPECIALLY WHEN IT IS COLD OR WET OUT THE VEHICLE WILL CONTINUE TO TURN OVER WITHOUT STARTING THE FUEL PUMP RELAY IS NOT OPPERATING AT ALL TIMES AS IT'S FAULTY WITH NO WAY TO REPLACE IT AS IT IS NOT SEPARATE ENTITY FROM THE TIPM CIRCUIT BOARD. SO THERE ARE DAYS WHERE THE VEHICLE IS NOT DRIVABLE AS IT WILL NOT START DO TO THE PROBLEM OF NO FUEL BEING INJECTED INTO THE ENGINE DUE TO A BAD OR FAULTY FUEL PUMP RELAY.

MY DODGE GRAND CARAVAN IS HARD TO START. SOMETIMES IT CRANKS FOR MINUTES WITHOUT STARTING, LIKE IT'S OUT OF GAS. THEN IT WILL START AND RUN FINE. SOMETIMES IT STARTS, BUT CHUGS AND DIES RIGHT AWAY. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES IN THE MONTH OF OCTOBER 2019 BUT IT WAS WORSE ON 10/27/19. OTHER 2011 MODELS HAVE HAD RECALLS FOR THE TIPM, THE GRAND CARAVAN HAS NOT.

MY CAR KEPT STALLING AND CUTTING OFF. IT WOULD CUT OFF AT TIMES WHILE DRIVING ON BUSY CITY STREETS, JUST BEFORE TOTALLY SHUTTING DOWN.THOUGHT IT WAS THE BATTERY AND HAD THAT REPLACED. NOTHING ELSE WAS READING AS AN ISSUE THAT WOULD CAUSE THIS PROBLEM. I KNEW IT WAS LARGER PROBLEM WHEN I WAS UNABLE TO JUMP START MY VEHICLE OR FEED IT GAS USING THE PEDAL. CAR NO LONGER STARTS. APPARENTLY I NO LONGER HAVE POWER TO MY FUEL PUMP, AND THE RELAY IS INTEGRATED INTO THE FUSE BOX. UPON DOING SOME RESEARCH THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE THAT CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO RANDOMLY SHUT OFF. DEALERSHIPS WANT $1200 TO FIX.

FOR SEVERAL MONTHS NOW I HAVE DEALT WITH A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL PUMP NOT TURNING OFF AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN SHUT OFF. IT HAS DRAIN THE BATTERY DEAD. NOW IT HAS EVOLVED INTO A PROBLEM WHERE THE CAR IS STALLING AND SHUTTING CAR SYSTEMS DOWN WITHOUT NOTICE. THANK GOODNESS I WAS NOT MOVING WHEN IT STALLED. IT APPEARS IT IS A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL PUMP MODULE RELAY. DODGE NEEDS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD.

INTERMITTENT STARTING PROBLEMS, WILL JUST KEEP CRANKING AND NOT TURN OVER. PROBLEM CONTINUES TO HAPPEN MORE OFTEN OVER TIME.

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING WITH MY 4 KIDS AGED 13, 11, 8 AND 3 WHEN THE CARAVAN STALLED WHILE IN MOTION AT THE RED LIGHT NEAR A MAJOR INTERSECTION WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. WITH NO POWER STEERING OR BREAKS, THE VAN STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION AND ON COMING TRAFFIC HAD TO BREAK HARD TO PREVENT A COLLISION. BOULEVARD DODGE CHRYSLER DIAGNOSED THE ISSUE AS FAULTY ELECTRICAL ISSUE WITH THE FUEL PUMP. THE REPAIR COST ME $478 (DEC. 3 2018). ON TUESDAY JAN 15 2019 THE CAR STARTED DIFFERENT ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. WHEN I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE SAME DEALER THEY TOLD ME THE CAUSE IS THE TIPM WHICH WOULD COST ABOUT $2000. WHEN I STARTED MY RESEARCH I REALIZED THAT BOTH ISSUE ARE RELATED AND CAUSED BY THE TIPM. THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH MANY MODELS OF FCA WHICH SOME VEHICLES HAD RECALLS FROM FCA. I...

INTERNAL FUEL PUMP RELAY FAILURE WITHIN TIPM

WHEN YOU PLACE KEY IN IGNITION CAR WILL NOT TURN OVER. THERE IS A CONSTANT CLICKING SOUND , BUT CAR WILL NOT START. AFTER NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS CAR WILL ONLY START IF YOU TAKE CAR OUT OF PARK, THEN SHIFT INTO REVERSE AND THEN BACK INTO PARK. ONCE THIS HAS BEEN DONE THEN CAR WILL START.

VAN WOULD TURN OVER BUT NOT START. THIS CONTINUES TO HAPPEN OVER AND OVER. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME I NEEDED A NEW TIPM AND FUEL PUMP. BUT FOUND OUT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM, AND THEY ISSUED A RECALL FOR OTHER VEHICLES WITH THIS SAME PART. IT IS THE FUEL RELAY SWITCH INSIDE OF TIPM THAT GOES BAD. IT SEEMS THE FUEL PUMP IS FINE. I CAN BUY A REPAIR PART VERY CHEAP. THIS IS PLASTERED ALL OVER ONLINE AND I THINK THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE A RECALL!

WHEN DRIVING, THE VAN WILL START SHAKING AND SHUT DOWN. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE IN PARK TOO. ALSO, WHEN VAN WON'T START, WE OPEN UP THE FUSE BOX AND SOMETIMES JUST BY PUTTING YOUR HAND ON THE FUSE BOX THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WILL "START-UP" THEN WE CAN CYCLE THE VAN ON. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE PARKED OUTSIDE THE BANK AND WHILE AT A RED LIGHT IN TRAFFIC.

TAKATA RECALL. 2011 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. WE BOUGHT IT IN JUNE 2018 ..PROBLEMS BEGAN IN JILY 2018. IT BEGAN WITH TIRE SENSOR LIGHT COMING ON AND STAYING ON BUT NO ISSUES....THEN ADVANCED TO NOT STARTING AT ALL..EVALUATION RESULTING IN SEVERAL TOWING BILLS EVEN AFTER 2 NEW FUEL PUMPS PUT IN..THEN A FUEL PUMP RELAY. RAN FOR A WHILE AND CONTINUED TO SHUT POWER OFF WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAYS, BACK RDS. NO WARNING LIGHTS JUST SHUT OFF. MORE TOWING COSTS. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATIONS DUE TO NO WARNING AND WHILE DRIVING WHEN VEHICLE JUST OFF. NOW U UNDERSTANDING NUMEROUS DODGE GRAND CARAVANS DEALING W SAME ISSUES AND REFUSING RECALL...PUTTING LIVES AT HIGH RISK ESPECIALLY W A SPECIAL NEEDS IN VEHICLE, MY LITTLE KIDS AND KIDS SCOUT FRIENDS. ITS CURRENTLY UNABLE TO SAFELY DRIVE DUE TO ITS UNEXPECTED SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING

WHILE DRIVING, MY VAN WOULD SUDDENLY ACCELERATE. IT DID THIS MULTIPLE TIMES THEN IT WOULDN'T START. AFTER RESEARCHING OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THIS MAKE AND MODEL WE TRIED THE FUEL RELAY BYPASS. IT FIXED THE PROBLEM FOR A WHILE BE EVENTUALLY IT STOPPED WORKING. THE FUEL RELAY IS THE PROBLEM AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED BECAUSE THERE ISN'T A WAY TO PERMANENTLY FIX THE PROBLEM AT THIS TIME. DODGE ISSUED RECALLS FOR THE DURANGO AND JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE FOR THE SAME ISSUE.

THERE ARE TWO FACETS OF THIS ISSUE. FIRST ISSUE: IT BEGAN STARTING HARD BACK IN NOVEMBER IT WOULD CRANK BUT NOT TURN OVER AND START. IT WILL OFTEN LEAVE US STRANDED MYSELF AND YOUNG CHILDREN FOR 20-45 MINUTES WAITING FOR IT TO START.SECOND ISSUE: THE FUEL PUMP WILL REMAIN RUNNING WHEN VEHICLE IS SHUT OFF AND CONTINUE TO RUN TILL BATTERY IS DEAD. ALTERNATOR HAS BEEN REPLACED IN PAST YEAR AND HAS BEEN TESTED TO BE GOOD, BATTERY HAD TO BE REPLACED TWICE IN TWO YEARS. WHEN DIAGNOSED BY A DODGE DEALERSHIP THE ISSUE IS SAID TO BE A POWER DISTRIBUTION MODULE WHICH COSTS $1,008.00 NOT INCLUDING LABOR. THE PART IS ORDERED BUT ON NATIONAL BACKORDER WITH NO ESTIMATED TIME OF ARRIVAL.

VEHICLE STOPS STATING, BATTERY DRAINS. PROBLEM DIAGNOSIS POINTS TO FUEL PUMP, HOWEVER REPLACING FUEL PUMP DOES NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE. THE ISSUE IS TPN MALFUNCTION. THE COST TO REPLACE THIS DEVICE IS ASTRONOMICAL AND THE BYPASS IS NOT FUEL EFFICIENT, OR LONG LASTING.

CAR INCIDENTALLY DOES T START !!!! DELAY FUEL PUMP TIPM DOESN'T WORK PROPERLY !

WOULD NOT START . DEALER SAID WAS TIPM. OTHER PEOPLE WITH VEHICLE LIKE MINE SAID THEIRS DID SAME THING THEN STALLED ON ROAD AND GOT REAR ENDED THANK GOD THAT PART DIDN'T HAPPEN TO ME BUT IT COULD HAVE. SAFETY ISSUE ???? I HAD TROUBLE GETTING IT TO START THEN I COULD HERE SOMETHING RUNNING IN THE BACK BY GAS CAP DIDN'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS. THE NEXT MORNING I WENT OUT TO TRY TO START IT AND THE BATTERY WAS DEAD. THE PUMP IN THE GAS TANK WAS WHAT WAS RUNNING AND DRAINED THE BATTERY. GOT A JUMP FROM REPAIR PLACE IN TOWN. DROVE IT WHEN I GOT HOME AND THEN HAVE TO LEAVE IN MORNING IT WOULD NOT START LIKE IT WASN'T GETTING ANY GAS. TURNED OVER JUST WOULD NOT FIRE. HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO DEALER. ONLY HAD 86000 MILES ON IT.

VEHICLE STALLS/DIES WHILE DRIVING. MY FAMILY WAS ON THE FREEWAY AND THE DODGE CARAVAN JUST DIED. LIGHTS STILL WORKED BUT ENGINE SUDDENLY QUIT RUNNING. HAD TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AFTER ALMOST BEING RUN OVER BY OTHER VEHICLES. A POLICE OFFICER HAD TO PUSH VEHICLE OFF OF FREEWAY. THIS HAS HAPPENED INTERMITTENTLY ON CITY STREETS AND 3 TIMES ON THE FREEWAY. IT HAPPENS AT SLOW AND FAST SPEEDS. IT IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE AND SCARY. WE HAD A FUEL PUMP RELAY BYPASS INSTALLED AS WE'VE READ THIS COULD BE THE PROBLEM. BUT VEHICLE STILL DIES WHILE DRIVING. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET HURT OR KILLED. PLEASE HELP!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. IN ADDITION, WHILE ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE, IT FAILED TO START OCCASIONALLY. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE FUEL PUMP. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS ONGOING AND THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

STATIONARY FAILS TO START. ENGINE CRANKS BUT DOES NOT START.DOES NOT STORE AN ERROR CODE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD A FUEL PUMP RELAY FAILURE, WHICH CAUSED IT NOT TO START AND/OR STALL. SCOVILLE-MENO CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP (18 UNION ST, SIDNEY, NY 13838, (607) 561-7500) WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THE ONLY SOLUTION WAS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE FUSE BOX, WHICH WOULD COST APPROXIMATELY $1,000. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND SUGGESTED THE CONTACT FILE A COMPLAINT WITH NHTSA. THE MANUFACTURER ALSO STATED THAT THE PART COULD NOT BE BOUGHT AT A LOWER PRICE TO HAVE THE VEHICLE REPAIRED FROM SOME PLACE OTHER THAN THE DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000.

APPARENTLY THIS IS A WIDELY KNOWN PROBLEMS WITH DODGE AND RELATED CHRYSLER VEHICLES ACCORDING TO OUR MECHANIC. BASICALLY THE TIPM--TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE IS BAD AND THIS CAUSES AMONG OTHER SYMPTOMS: VEHICLE NOT STARTING, ISSUES WITH ELECTRIC CONTROLS(LIGHTING), ISSUES WITH FUEL SYSTEM(FUEL PUMP OR RELAY) OUR VEHICLE HAD ISSUES STARTING. ESPECIALLY DURING WINTERTIME THIS HAPPENED. AND HAVING REPLACED THE BATTERY NEW AND ALSO HAVING ENSURED SPARKPLUGS ARE NEW, THOSE ISSUES WERE RULED OUT. STARTER ISSUE ALSO WERE RULED OUT BOTH BY OBVSERVATION AND MECHANIC. THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO HAVE DIFFICULTY AND INTERMITTENT SUCCESSES IN STARTING, UP TO THE POINT THAT IT DIDN'T START ANYMORE ON 12/10/2018. THE STARTER IS TURNING BUT ENGINE DOESN'T START. SO TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC AND LEARNED THAT THE TIPM IS THE ISSUE. PRIOR TO IT TOTALLY FAILING TO START., IN THE PAST 4 MONTHS, THE VEHICLE HAD STALLED 4 TO 5 TIMES WHILE DRIVING...

THE TIPM MODULE COMPLETELY FAILED CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE FUEL PUMP. FROM PRELIMINARY RESEARCH THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE THAT DODGE HAS FAILED TO ADDRESS WITH THIS MODEL. VEHICLE WILL NOT START. HAVE HAD INTERMITTENT PROPULSION ISSUE WHICH CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO BE SLUGGISH THUS CAUSING A DANGER TO DRIVER AND OCCUPANTS IN TRAFFIC SITUATIONS

DIFFICULT TO START. ONCE STARTED DIES. IF POWER IS MAINTAINED AND YOU GET MOVING, WILL DIE WHEN POWER IS REDUCED. IF ON ROAD AND LET OFF POWER TO SLOW DOWN, IT DIES. BAD NEWS IF IN A TRAFFIC SITUATION, ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AS A WARNING. THEN ONE DAY IT WILL START TO ACT NORMAL..... THEN THE "WILL NOT START ROUTINE" STARTS ALL OVER AGAIN. TOOK TO SHOP. NO INDICATORS ON DIAGNOSTICS. PROBLEM WOULD NOT DUPLICATE AT SHOP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. ON VARIOUS OCCASIONS, THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO START THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS EXAMINED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE EXTERNAL FUEL PUMP RELAY WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE LOCAL DEALER (PINE BELT DODGE, 1400 STATE HWY 88, LAKEWOOD, NJ) AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT NO SOLUTION WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 87,000.

FUEL PUMP RELAY IN TIPM FAILING AND MAY CAUSE CAR NOT TO START OR MAY CAUSE CAR TO TURN OFF WHILE DRIVING. HAS FAILED TO START MANY TIMES AND FAILED TO WORK PROPERLY ONCE WHILE IN MOTION.

I BOUGHT MY 2011 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN CREW IN FEB 2018. IN MARCH MY TIRE SENSORS STARTING GOING OFF, WE REPLACED ALL OF THEM WITH NO LUCK, THE GAUGES WOULD STILL READ THEY WERE OUT. IN APRIL, THE CAMSHAFT SENSOR WENT OUT WHILE WE WERE ON VACATION, AND WE REPLACED IT, IN FLORIDA. IN MAY THE CAMSHAFT SENSOR WENT OUT AGAIN, SHORTLY AFTER HAVING IT REPLACED FOR THE SECOND TIME, BUT GUESS WHAT? IT HAPPENED A 3RD TIME! ONLY A WEEK LATER!!!! SO YET AGAIN, IT WAS REPLACED. OUR VAN WOULD START ACTING POSSESSED. WIPERS WOULD GO OFF WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD & WHILE THEY WERE IN THE OFF POSITION. THE LOCKS WOULD LOCK AND UNLOCK BY THEMSELVES WHILE DRIVING, SEEMED LIKE EVERY TIME IT RAINED OUT WINDOWS WOULD ROLL DOWN BY THEMSELVES OVER NIGHT OR WHILE WE WERE IN A STORE WHILE THE VAN WAS SHUT OFF. IN...
