MY 2012 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN, WITH APPROX. 62,000 MILES, KEEP CUTTING WHEN I TRY TO START IT. THE DEALER SAYS IT THE TIPM, WHICH COSTS $1,638. THE VAN WILL START THEN CUT OFF. I HAD TO HAVE THE BATTERY CHARGED TWICE BEFORE I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC.

WHILE IN MOTION AT LOW SPEED THE ENGINE SUDDENLY STOPS RUNNING. THE POWER STEERING SEIZES UP & I HAVE TO MANUALLY STEER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD.THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, WHEN I RESTART THE CAR. EACH TIME IT HAS HAPPENED, FORTUNATELY NO ONE HAS BEEN BEHIND ME. THE DEALERSHIP THAT WE PURCHASED IT FROM SAID THAT IT WAS A CAM SHAFT PROBLEM. AFTER PAYING $1000+ IN REPAIRS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM, IT STILL CONTINUES TO HAPPEN.WE HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT I NEEDED AN OIL CHANGE. I BROUGHT IT IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE & IT CONTINUES TO SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING. THE DEALER THEN TOLD ME THAT IT IS ANOTHER CAM SHAFT & THEY HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING WHICH ONE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT NO LONGER GOES ON & IT DOES NOT STORE CODES WHEN THIS HAPPENS. SEVERAL TIMES WE HAVE CONTACTED "CHRYSLER CUSTOMER CARES" & THEY JUST TAKE DOWN OUR CONTACT INFO, REGISTER OUR PROBLEM & DO NOT FOLLOW UP. THIS IS A 2012 GRAND CARAVAN WITH APPROX. 92K+ MILES.

WHILE IN MOTION AT LOW SPEED THE ENGINE SUDDENLY STOPPED RUNNING AND COULD NOT BE IMMEDIATELY RESTARTED, UNABLE TO GET OUT OF THE LANE OR OFF TO THE SHOULDER. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS OF CYCLING THE KEY FOB OFF AND ON THE VAN STARTED AGAIN. IT IS FORTUNATE THAT THIS OCCURRED IN A VERY RURAL AREA WITH NO TRAFFIC. THIS IS A 2012 GRAND CARAVAN WITH APPROX. 90K MILES. MY HUSBAND RESEARCHED SIMILAR FAILURES OTHER DRIVERS HAVE EXPERIENCED WITH THE GRAND CARAVAN, HE BELIEVES IT IS LIKELY A FAILING FUEL PUMP RELAY. HE READ THAT MANY OTHER CHRYSLER VEHICLES HAVING THE SAME RELAY SYSTEM HAVE BEEN RECALLED BUT APPARENTLY NOT THE GRAND CARAVAN AS WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN THE MAIL.

MY VAN WILL DIE AT TIMES GOING DOWN ROAD OR JUST NOT START, AFTER PARKING IT. THEN THE CHECK ENGINE AND STABILITY CONTROL FLASHES ON DASH. WILL NOT COME OUT OF PARK. THEN IT MAY START RANDOMLY AND RUN FOR A FEW WEEKS OR COUPLE OF MONTHS AND DO SAME THING AGAIN. WE HAVE PUT NEW BRAKES, BATTERY, CHECKED FUEL PUMP, AND PUT NEW TIRES AND HAD CENSORS ON WHEELS CHECKED. STILL DOES NOT START. T

MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH T.I.P. MODULE WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT THE INTERIOR AND HEAD LIGHTS START TO FLICKER AND EVENTUALLY GO COMPLETELY OUT. I HAVE 5 KIDS AND HAVE BEEN ALMOST HIT HEAD ON WHEN THIS HAPPENS BECAUSE IT HAPPENS WITHOUT WARNING. I HAVE HAD TO SIT BESIDE THE ROAD FOR HOURS WAITING ON MY LIGHTS TO COME BACK ON AND SOMETIMES THEY NEVER HAVE. THIS IS A LIFE THREATENING EMERGENCY AND DODGE WONT LISTEN TO ME. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND IT IS GETTING TO THE POINT THE CAR IS UNDRIVABLE. I WAS TOLD IT WOULD BE $1,400 TO REPAIR MODULE AND THAT IS WHY THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

BAD INGNITION MODULE. VAN TURNS RANDOMLY OFF BY IT SELF WHILE DRIVING. IF YOU PUSH ON THE FOB IN THE INGNITION IT WILL START TO RUN AGAIN. WHEN VAN TURNS OFF YOU LOSE CONTROL OF THE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO COME TO A SAFE STOP. SAME ISSUES THAT DODGE RECALLED OTHER MODEL YEARS FOR BUT NOT THE GRAND CARAVAN. IT HAS OCCURED NUMEROUS TIMES TO US IN THIS VAN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN. AFTER RECENTLY PURCHASING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT PARKED IT IN THE GARAGE OVERNIGHT. UPON MOVING THE VEHICLE OUT OF THE GARAGE, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT ENGINE OIL LEAKED OUT ONTO THE GARAGE FLOOR. UPON INSPECTING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT BECAME AWARE OF THREE AREAS ON THE OIL PAN THAT WERE RUSTED AND HAD HOLES, WHICH ALLOWED ENGINE OIL TO LEAK FROM THE OIL PAN.

AN UNKNOWN DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL OR WARRANTY FOR THE OIL PAN ON THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 146,000. *TT

THE VAN CUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. EEVERYTIME, I TRIED TO START IT, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL SAID "NO FUSE." I HAD IT LOOKED AT BY A MECHANIC AND HE SAID THAT MY ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY WERE DEAD. AFTER THEY WERE REPLACED, THE CAR STARTED UP AND I DROVE IT TO WORK. ON THE WAY TO WORK, WHILE THE CAR WAS DRIVING, ALL OF THE LIGHTS IN THE CAR WENT OUT AND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL RESET ITSELF (DATE, TIME, AND TRIP COMPUTER) AFTER ABOUT 5 SECONDS. THIS REPEATED ITSELF EVERY 15 MINUTES OR SO, UNTIL THE CAR CUT OFF. I REFASTENED THE BATTERY CONNECTORS, GOT THE CAR A JUMP, AND IT STARTED TO RUN. I PARKED THE CAR. LATER, I GOT IN AND STARTED IT WITH NO PROBLEM. THE NEXT DAY, I WENT TO START THE CAR AND IT WOULDNT START. I GOT A JUMP AND IT STARTED UP AGAIN. DRIVING INTO WORK, THE CAR CUT OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE STREET. I HAD TO STEER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO GET TO SAFETY. THE WORST THING ABOUT IT ALL, IS THAT WHEN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILS, THE KEY GETS STUCK IN THE IGNITION, AND YOU CAN NOT SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL IF YOU NEED TO PUSH THE CAR OFF THE ROAD. I HAVE READ MULTIPLE REVIEWS ABOUT THIS CAR'S ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, BUT IT IS A DANGER TO EVERYONE ON THE ROAD FOR A CAR TO CONSISTENTLY HAVE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS, ESPECIALLY ONES THAT CAUSE IT TO CUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. THIS NEEDED TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE ANYONE GETS HURT.

THE VEHICLE STALLED AND STOPPED. THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE OBDII TEST INDICATED TRANSMISSION PRESSURE, TSR SOLENOID, OR GEAR RATIO. THE DEALER SAID IT IS OUT OF WARRANY AND MAY REQUIRE TRANSMISSION REBUILD.

CALIPERS SEIZED UP GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY HAD TO STOP BACK RIGHT TIRE WAS SMOKING VAN IS IN THE SHOP BEING REPAIRED

2012 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN STALLED WHEN DRIVING AND I LOST THE STEERING.THIS CAN BE LIVE THREATENING!! NO CODES COME UP WHEN TRYING TO DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE. MECHANIC TRIED TO DUPLICATE THE STALLING ISSUE BY DRIVING IT FOR A WEEK. NOT ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. LOOKING AT FORUMS THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ONGOING ISSUE. HOPEFULLY NOBODY WILL DIE FROM A STALLING ENGINE THAT LOOSES STEERING. WHEN PUT IN PARK IT TURNS BACK ON WITH NO ISSUES. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME NOW FOR THE THIRD TIME. AGAIN, THIS NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT BEFORE SOMEONE DIES!!!!

MORE THEN A DOZEN TIMES OUR VEHICLE HAS COMPLETELY SHUT OFF WHILE IN MOTION GOING STRAIGHT AT VARIOUS SPEEDS CAUSING LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND PUTTING US IN UNSAFE CONDITIONS. THE A/C WILL BLOW HOT AIR IN HALF THE VEHICLE AND THE RADIO HAS TURNED UP THE VOLUME TO FULL AND THE CONTROLS ARE INOPERATIVE TO TURN IT DOWN. I FEEL THE DEALER INTENTIONALLY DID NOT TELL US ABOUT THE KNOWN TIPM ISSUE AND TOLD US WE HAD TO REPLACE THE ALTERNATOR WHICH WE DID WITH NO HELP IN CORRECTING THE ISSUE. THIS HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR A FEW MONTHS. I DONT HAVE THE VEHICLE WITH ME AND AM GUESSING ON THE MILEAGE ALSO THIS HAPPENED ON MULTIPLE DATES SO I ENTERED ONE OF THE RANDOM DATED BELOW.

4 HIGH QUALITY TIRES FROM GOODYEAR: 2 SOLD IN 2016 AND 2 SOLD IN 2017 FOR THE SAME VEHICLE FOUND TO HAVE THE RUBBER COMPOUND CRACKING AND SHOWING PREMATURE AGEING. ALL 4 TITRES SOLD, BALANCED AND INSTALLED BY GOODYEAR OUTLETS.

WE WENT BACK TO THE ORIGINAL GOODYEAR DEALER CONCERNING THIS PROBLEM AND WERE TOLD THAT THE TIRES WERE SUFFERING FROM PREMATURE WEAR AND SHOULD BE CHANGED.THE RECOMMENDATION FROM THEM WAS TO CHANGE THE TIRE AFTER 4 YEARS. THE ISSUE IS THAT THE THE TIRES WERE ALREADY 2 YEARS OLD AT THE TIME OF BEING PURCHASED AS PREMIUM NEW TIRES AT A TOTAL COST OF $667.45. SO AFTER JUST 2 YEARS OF USE WE ARE FACED WITH THE CRACKING AND PREMATURE WEAR OF THE RUBBER COMPOUND CAUSING THE TIRE TO BECOME UNRELIABLE AND SUBJECT TO A PREMATURE FAILURE. WE ARE NOW REQUIRED FOR OUR OWN SAFETY AND THAT OF OTHER ROAD USERS TO PURCHASE 4 REPLACEMENT TIRES AT A COST OF $640.00 WHY ARE MAJOR TIRE MANUFACTURERS AND THEIR RETAILERS ALLOWED TO SELL TO THE PUBLIC OLD TIRES AS "NEW" ?.

THIS IS THE FIRST IN A LONG LINE OF DODGE VANS THAT HAVE HAD TRANSMISSION ISSUES. SO FAR THERE ARE A TOTAL OF 12 OF THESE VANS THAT HAVE HAD THE TRANSMISSIONS REPLACED & THERE IS ANOTHER ONE HAVING ISSUES NOW.

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.

THE VEHICLE HAS 92,000 MILES AND WHEN TRAVELING LAST MONTH THE ALTERNATOR WENT OUT. WAS TOLD AT THE DEALERSHIP THAT FIXED IT THERE HAVE BEEN SOME ALTERNATORS RECALLED. WITH PARTS AND LABOR THE BILL WAS $797.77. THEY SAID OURS WAS NOT ON RECALL LIST. HOW DO I GET REIMBURSED FOR SURPRISE EXPENSE.

WHENEVER I TURN ON THE HIGH BEAMS THE VEHICLE HAS ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. IT IS LIKE WHEN THE VEHICLE IS INITIALLY TURNED ON AND IT GOES THROUGH A ELECTRICAL DIAGNOSTICS TEST . THE INDICATOR LIGHTS/SOUNDS FLASH ON THE DASHBOARD. AS SOON AS I TURN THE HIGH BEAMS OFF AGAIN THE VEHICLE WORKS PROPERLY. THERE DOESN'T SEEM TO AFFECT THE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, BUT WHEN THIS HAPPENS I IMMEDIATELY TURN THE HIGH BEAMS OFF BECAUSE I DO NOT KNOW IF THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEM WILL AFFECT THE STEERING AND OR BRAKING. SO ANY TRUE IMPACT IS NOT KNOWN. IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR OVER A YEAR NOW. I JUST DON'T USE MY HIGH-BEAMS FOR FEAR OF HAVING AN ACCIDENT. THE ISSUE CAN BE REPLICATED (STILL HAPPENS TODAY).

PO302 CYL2 MISFIRE CODE.CYLINDER HEAD PREVIOUSLY REPLACED UNDER SAME CODE. THIS TIME CAMSHAFT INTAKE AND EXHAUST , 16 ARM- VALUE AND 24 TAPPET VALVE LASH HAD TO BE REPLACED. CAR ONLY HAS 82,000 MILES ON IT AND HAS HAD TWO MAJOR ENGINE REPAIRS REQUIRED. CONDITION CAUSED BY THE ROLLER BEARINGS IN THE ROCKERS COMING APART. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING.

TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THEY CHECKED IT OUT AND SAID NOTHING IS WRONG VERY SCARED TO DRIVE THIS CAR WITH THIS ISSUE

IGNITION SWITCH THE VAN TURN OFF IF YOU HIT A BUMP AN HIGHWAY

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.

I SEND MY VEHICLE TO FREEHOLD DODGE DEALER AFTER MANY DAYS THE DEALER DIDN'T DO ANYTHING BECAUSE MY VEHICLE UNDER WARRANTY AND THE CORPORATE DOESN'T PAY WELL TO THE DEALER I DON'T KNOW WHERE I CAN FILE COMPLAIN

THE INTEGRATED CONTROL MODEL IS MAKING THE FUEL RELAY RUN ALL NIGHT AND MAKE THE BATTERY DIE. I HAVE LOOKED ONLINE FOR RECALLS AND THERE IS NONE. THIS PROBLEM IS HAPPENING ON MORE GRAND CARAVAN. I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM FOR ALL MOST A YEAR. I CAN'T FIND THE TIPM OR IT COST TO MOST. THIS NEED TO BE RECALLED

WIRELESS IGNITION NODE (WIN) MODULE HAS INTERMITTENT FUNCTION IN THE START/RUN POSITION. NOTE: PREVIOUS MODEL YEARS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM, SEE SAFETY RECALL R03 / NHTSA 14V-373 WIRELESS IGNITION NODE MODULE. I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR A FEW YEARS AND HAVE WAITED FOR A RECALL BUT HAVE HEARD NOTHING FROM NHTSA OR THE MANUFACTURER. NOTE: THIS ISSUE IS A WIDELY KNOWN PROBLEM ACCORDING TO MANY YOUTUBE CHANNELS; EXAMPLE: HTTPS://YOUTU.BE/N_LBDCLMIQW HTTPS://YOUTU.BE/Q99SSLGSHO0

MY ENGINE KEEPS MISFIRING ALL THE CYLINDERS AND I HAVE CHANGED MULTIPLE CYLINDERS. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION THE LIGHTS ON THE INSIDE ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE STOPPED IN TRAFFIC. THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I TOOK IT TO GET THE CODES READ AND IT SAID P301, P302, P303, P304. I HAVE GOT THIS FIXED MULTIPLE TIMES BECAUSE IT KEEPS HAPPENING.
