Problems with 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

One day after initial incident..... start car in parking lot, start backing up. the car stops, everyone is jerked forward, and the horn starts blaring/wipers go crazy, fluid spewing everywhere. at first we thought i had hit someone... but nope. put the car into drive- no power steering- and pulled back into parking space. tried to turn car off. it continued to run with key out of ignition. after 15 minutes of it going crazy some people came over and helped us disconnect the battery. after about a minute it finally died. i met a couple in the parking lot that asked if it was a 2008. it was, and they told me about their horror story with their van. and how they had a lawyer that filed lemon law on it. i was thrilled. after about 10 minutes we connected the battery and the van continued to go crazy. finally we decided to just drive home. it was 9:30 at night. drove home with horn blaring, wipers going crazy, no transmission shifting and fluid spewing. just waiting for the power steering to go out and have very little control of vehicle. got home and van continued going crazy until hubby disconnected battery again. looked online and find out this is an ongoing problem with 2008 dodge/chrysler vans. the tipm goes bad and the car goes crazy. this is going to cause someone to get into a serious wreck and kill someone. very unsafe!! there needs to be a recall, but dodge is having problems getting the part.... ridiculous! the dealership i took it to told me they had 2 2008 vans in the "back" waiting for this part. they have been sitting there for over 2 weeks and noone knows when they will get the part. so what happens? the people trade them in. convenient. maybe that's why these are the most "popular" van on the road? making sure they get repeat business. well i'll never buy another dodge/chrysler again and im definitely not going to get bullied into being a repeat buyer!! *tr

I have noticed that the rear a/c blows hot air while it is set on the a/c position. at that time my kids; 2 years old, 5 years old where apparently sweating and did not know it was not normal while the 12 years old kept repeatedly saying it is warm here at the back. i inspected why it is warm and noticed that the rear ac blows warm air on a/c position while the front a/c is blowing cold air. first, i thought it is the rear a/c blend door but it is the "expansion valve" it has visible corrosion and it is located under the rear right wheel fender where it is subjected to dirt, salt and road debris...i think dodge/chrysler needs to fix these design issue since this could be a fatal issue if i did not know it and the older kid never complaint about it. since then, i have only used the front ac and chrysler charge a fortune to correct the issue. this is very dangerous situation if you are traveling on a long drive. it is the equivalent of leaving your child in a hot car on a warm days of summer specially in july. i hope we can consider this to be a recall. *tr

This problem has been intermittent and getting worse. sometimes it happens when we' driving and sometimes when it's parked with the engine off. the engine dies, horns blow, wipers go crazy and lights go on. all you can do is coast to a safe spot, wait for a while ,then restart the van.today as my husband drove to work, the power brakes went out. he was able to stop but it was very hard and dangerous. i don't know if it's related but we have had a problem with the blower for the air conditioner/ heater going out since about 2010. updated 07/03/14 ma updated 07/11/2014 *js

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 dodge grand caravan. the contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 14v373000 (air bags, electrical system), however, the parts to do the recall repair were unavailable. the contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. the manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. on several occasions, the vehicle failed to start. the contact stated that removing the key and re-inserting the key remedied the failure. the failure mileage was not available. parts distribution disconnect.

While stopped at a red light, the van suddenly entered into an electrical chaos. the horn started blaring, the wipers started going full blast, and wiper fluid started spraying. this kind of electrical problem has happened before but this time was the worst. the vehicle continued to drive while everything electrical flickered and continued to malfunction. finally had to stop and remove fuses for horn and wiper fluid in order to get the malfunctions to stop. van transmission also stopped shifting during this episode. even after vehicle was stopped, there were multiple electrical popping noises throughout the engine as if it was trying to power up things that were no longer operational. i took vehicle into dealership and they identified problem as a failure of the tipm (total integrated power module). looking online there are multiple complaints of similar problems and failures. the tipm is actually backordered because of the demand. this is obviously a repeated problem in the dodge and potentially hazardous. *js

Van would intermittently not start. would turn key and van would click once like solenoid was activating but starter would not turn on. turn key a second time and van might start. on one occasion, van would not start on several attempts. jump starting would not work. battery tested ok. replaced starter, after couple days van again would not start. took to dealer, dealer replaced starter. after a couple of months, van is again intermittently not starting. we have discovered if shift lever is moved into neutral, van will start. this evening (9/25/12), my wife went to turn on the high-beams and the windshield wipers came on and would not cut off. the low-beams remained on, but high-beams and the turn signals would not turn on. i disconnected the battery for ten minutes and everything seemed to work fine when i reconnected it. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 dodge grand caravan. the contact stated that while driving 35 mph the vehicle was experiencing electrical failures. the contact mentioned that no warning lamps were illuminated on the instrument panel. the horn and windshield wipers activated, and wiper fluid started spraying before the vehicle stalled. the failure recurred multiple times. the vehicle was maneuver to the shoulder where he removed the battery cable and fuses that governed the horn and wipers in order for the failure to stop. also, the transmission failed to shift and there were multiple electrical popping noises throughout the engine. the vehicle was taken to the dealer who diagnosed that the wireless module was defective and as a result, the battery needed to be replaced. the vehicle was repaired however, the remedy failed to correct the problem. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was 75,000 and the current mileage was 76,000.

June 2012, while driving the vehicle from a restaurant from dinner, the vehicle suffered a power failure which immediately caused the vehicle to power down while driving on the highway. i was forced to make a best attempt to pull over to the side of the road, which was made difficult by the fact that the brakes were powered by the electrical systems as was the steering. i subsequently called a mechanic who came and checked out the minivan but, no work was performed because when the mechanic arrived, the car started and drove perfectly and all of the voltages for the electrical systems tested okay. a month later, after arriving home and parking my car, i noticed that the cooling fan was still operating although the vehicle has been shut off. i then immediately started the car and did every check possible to make sure that i had not left anything on. after checking under the hood and closing the hood itself, the fan shut off on its on.within a matter of weeks, this same problem began repeating itself and would only stop once the battery ran down. i eventually had the fan relay/starter replaced after a mechanic suggested that this was the issue. i have subsequently found that the fan no longer stays on. however, the vehicle continues to either shut down while driving with no apparent cause and i am still experiencing problems with the vehicle's battery draining, although nothing appears to have been left on. the electrical problems have continued to get worse and increasingly dangerous and i have called several dodge dealerships to speak with mechanics. to generalize, a majority of the mechanics have dealt with other consumers who have experience some or all of the same issues and suggest that the tipm is faulty and that this is a common issue on chrysler and dodge minivans of the same year and being that this is the case that they expect to see a recall issued. *tr

Vehicle started to accelerate on its own. it made it a foot or so before stopping. soon after, the vehicle at random turned on the wipers and horn. ignition became non-responsive and i had to pull battery cable to silence everything. had to take it to the dealership for repair and received lecture about not pulling battery cable and was charged $90 so a tech could fix this. the tipm module had failed and needed to be replaced.

Going high speed, engine suddenly stops, all lights on dash light up, power steering does not function. this happened (3) times last year. i was fortunate enough to be able to pull over on the pa turnpike but was in danger of being hit as i was traveling in the left lane. car would not restart. waited 20 minutes and car did initially restart. however, when it restarted, once driven, it would not shift gears--it was stuck in 1st. (automatic transmission) pulled over again. waited 10 minutes, started driving, and car functioned but "check engine light" was on. car was taken to dealer immediately. they initially blamed the fob, which i replaced. when this incident happened again a few months later, it was again taken to dealer and since they could not replicate the problem, they said they could not fix it. in july of this year, started this behavior again but now would not restart after the engine cut off. (again traveling high speed) then the engine cut off a day later while only going 40 miles an hour. took car to the dealer again and they changed the win module. (but tell me that all three electrical system are registering errors) i paid to replace win module, had car for 1 week, went to start it and there was no response. had car towed to dealership. replaced starter relay. picked car up on a wednesday and on thursday, engine shut down on me while doing 20 mph. again, would not restart. car currently at dealership but they claim they have no idea what's wrong. this is a hazard!! i feel i am going to die in this car because someone is going to run into me at high speed when i don't have a engine to get out of the way. my young kids are constantly in this car. dealership throws up their hands and says "i don't know or care if you die in this vehicle we simply can't fix the problem" i am still paying this car off and can't afford another car! *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 dodge grand caravan. while attempting to start the vehicle, the key remained in the start position. the contact had to touch the key in order to shift it into the on position. the failure recurred on numerous occasions. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the vin was included in nhtsa campaign number: 14v373000 (air bags, electrical system); however, the part needed to repair the vehicle was unavailable. the contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. the manufacturer was not notified of the issue. the failure mileage was 32,000. updated 7/21/15*cn

Upon start of vehicle, wipers turned on(switch pos off), washer fluid sprayed(button not pressed), horn sounded (not pressed), could not get it to stop. started vehicle, continued to do all three, vehicle placed in drive, would not shift out of 1st gear. shut vehicle off, started again, same things. in days prior to this incident, the vehicle would stall unexpectedly, fortunately while approaching stop sign, or stop light and not on highway, resulted in loss of power steering, and all engine/speed indication. dodge dealership in valdosta duplicated problems, replaced $500 electrical box. been two days since repair, no repeats yet. *tr

The tipm module (totally integrated power module) is defective, and intermittently draws the battery down. after keeping the van for several days, our local dealership (bluebonnet motors) in new braunfels, tx, determined that the battery is fine, but the problem is with the tipm. the manufacturer has no units available for replacement at this time (several hundred are on backorder, and none scheduled for production). chrysler has not offered to cover this under recall, and we are told it is not covered under our extended warranty. after researching on the internet we read many other people have tipm problems, including: wipers starting by themselves; windshield sprayers spraying without warning; horn will start honking out of control: lights flashing uncontrollably (all of these while driving); and even one unit that caught fire. our dealership has indicated that the system indicates that at least six vehicles have been flagged as completely unusable. we feel that we are driving a rolling time bomb, with the potential to either leave us stranded, or cause hazardous driving distractions at any time, or both. *tr

Initial symptoms of vehicle involved the horn chirping whenever the car was shifted into park as well as the front windshield wipers going off randomly along with washer fluid spraying. when rear wiper was turned on the front wipers would also come on as well but moved very slow. symptoms became worse, the passenger sliding door randomly would open on its own and the horn would chirp constantly when car in reverse. the parking lights and tail lights also would stay on and flicker after key removed and light switch off on dash. while taking van to dodge dealership in beloit, wi the check engine light came on, dash lights began to flash randomly and transmission went into limp mode only allowing me to travel at speeds less than 20 mph. i was advised that i had a faulty tipm (total integrated power module). i was also told that part is on back order and both bryden dealership/dodge corporation are unable to provide a date when the part would be available. i have contacted dodge directly and was able to get a rental car at dodge's expense even though vehicle is not under warranty anymore. they obviously are aware that this is a problem since i was advised by a third party parts supplier that over 600 of these are on back order with no eta on part availability. the worst part of this is not knowing when the part will be available and that so many people are being affected i don't understand how this part can be so scarce when this is one of the most popular vans on the road today. *tr

Wipers/dash cluster/warning bells operate on their own randomly. i found that i could turn off the a/c blower and wipers/dash lights/ and warning bells would go off. started out once or twice, then every went up to 13 times back to back. has happened multiple times was waiting on recall part for a/c and was told it should fix it.(went one week without anything and then went to my van on 5/11/12 and had no gags). sometimes occurs when vehicle is at a stop sign, making a right turn, or driving down the road. lasts from two minutes to ten minutes. research shows many other owners with same issues requiring total integrated power module (tipm) (currently on factory back order with no release date available according to local dealer) i was told 5/11/2012 that 390 customers are waiting on the tipm, and be prepared to wait several months as it is on back order. so i called chrysler, i was then told the machine that makes this is broken, they assigned me to a case manager who would help with rental car assistance. later told by case manager "because i do not have service history with dodge dealer, locally that i was not eligible for rental car assistance." i am sorry we are military and have recently moved across country. so now it is the waiting game for the tipm to come back in stock so that i can have my van back, so that i can transport my two children with special needs to doctor appointments. *tr

2008 dodge grand caravan. passenger side front and rear doors power unlock problem. i have a 2008 dodge grand caravan stx. it has power windows and locks and power sliding doors. 3.8l engine. the passenger front door lock, right passenger sliding door lock will lock when the button is pressed, but will not unlock when the button is pressed. this happens no matter which door unlock button you press (driver, passenger or key fob). i have traced the wiring no power when 'unlock' is pressed, but there is power when the 'lock' button is pressed. also, i tested the passenger sliding door, again same result. i took off the passenger front door panel and unplugged the door lock connector at the solenoid and tested it. again, no power when 'unlock' is pressed on any of the wires. the black wire on the connector is getting good ground. i traced the wires from the lock solenoid connector under the seats and to the drivers kick panel where they go through a grommet and into the fuse box under the hood. i probed the wires again by the kick panel and got no power when 'unlock' was pressed. i hear a relay clicking in the fuse box when i press 'unlock', but i can't find it. it is coming from within the fuse box under all the fuses and relays. those relays are located in the fuse boxes inner part, and probably low quality, so they are gone in just few years of usage. unfortunately, relays can't be replaced by owners due to location and connections. *tr

Van has ignition problem that causes lights and engine not to start. had many issues with ignition with repairs had re key and turn off the alarm. no luck spent over 4000.00. problem still exist. please help. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 dodge grand caravan. the contact stated that the vehicle stalled while parked. the horn, headlights, mirrors and the windshield wiper then began to function erratically after the vehicle stalled. the vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostics. the technician was unable to diagnose the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the vin was not available. the approximate failure mileage was 44,000.

Instrument cluster flashes on and off lasts for up to ten minutes also comes up no bus on odometer when this occurs. *tr

Wipers/washer/horns operate on their own. transmission shifts erratically. lights blink. front a/c blower inoperable. has happened multiple times (most recently 4-10, 4-13, 4-17-12). sometimes occurs when vehicle is parked with no key in it. lasts from two minutes to ten minutes. research shows many other owners with same issues requiring total integrated power module (currently on factory back order with no release date available according to local dealer) to be replaced. *js

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 dodge grand caravan. the contact stated that while driving at 45 mph, the vehicle decelerated without warning. the contact stated that the vehicle stalled and was able to restart. the failure occurred on several occasions. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that the vin was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 11v139000 (electrical system). the failure mileage was not available.

We were pulling out of the parking lot and after a couple hundred of yards the vehicle just turned off without warning and all control was lost. although there was no accident we were alarmed because what if there was a car immediately behind us. after that incident this problem has occurred several times which i think is a safety issue. i hope this will be addressed by the manufacturer. *tr

The engine died and would not turn back on while driving. suspect this is due to faulty ignition win control module or ignition system . nearly caused a crash. was able to slow down (lost brakes, and power steering) and pull to side of the road avoiding being hit by other cars. tried starting the vehicle several times it then started again. ( took to dealership and they changed out our fob/key thing. and seemed to fix the issue. most recently 3/12/14 parked, attempted to restart vehicle 10 min later and the key will not turn over the engine.(plastic fob type key) no starter noise. ( lights work, key in ignition warning ding occurs. lights turn on but no radio, or engine start. will not restart now. *tr

All power in the driver door went dead. i don't have mirrors, windows, anything. my mechanic said the part i need is on national backorder, with a new part number from chrysler. this means that all of the parts i currently have/need are obsolete due to a known issue. to have a new part number would mean that the part would need to be redesigned from the ground up due to a known issue. this issue may have the chance to grow into a bigger electrical problem if i didn't know better; which would lean to fires, crashes, etc as all of the cars built rely on electrical signals for power steering, brakes, dash message area, air bags, etc. i'm surprised this hasn't been recalled yet to the known issues and issues it could potentially cause. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 dodge grand caravan. the contact stated that while driving 55 mph, all of the warning lights illuminated, the brakes engaged, the horn began to sound, and the windshield wipers activated. the contact was able to successfully maneuver to the shoulder and shut off the vehicle. the horn continued to sound and the windshield wipers remained activated for a few minutes. upon restart, the vehicle operated as normal. the vehicle was in the process of being towed to an authorized dealer. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure and current mileages were 37,104.

On 4 occasions our 2008 dodge grand caravan has gone into a mode where the lights flash, the horn honks, the windshield wipers come on, washer fluid squirts out, and the doors lock. when moving, it also appears to downshift to lower gear. once it starts, it appears the only way to stop it is to let it run its course which can take up to 10 minutes (disconnecting the battery did not make it stop). during the time it is happening the key fob does not work. of the 4 times it has happened, it has happened twice while driving and twice while sitting still (once with key in ignition and once without). i have it at the dealer and so far in 2 days they have not found anything wrong. there are literally hundreds of other people with 2008 dodge grand caravans who have this exact same or similar issue. this is a potentially dangerous issue if you happen to be moving when it happens. *tr

2008 grand caravan having dangerous electrical / powertrain problems. van suddenly loses electrical control. horn blows, windshield wipers run, washer fluid sprays, doors latch (or fail to unlatch) transmission goes limp. several other reports of exactly the same issue are listed on this site. according to some posts on the web, there is an update for similar issues on the 2010s. also, i am finding these same reports on dodge weblogs for other dodge vehicles, not just the grand caravan. this may be the causing accidents since there are so many reports. <http://www.jkowners.com/forum/archive/index.php/t-72505.html> <http://www.faqs.org/car/dodge-caravan-2008/power-train/> <http://www.fixya.com/cars/t11260762-2008_dodge_nitro_winshield_wipers_horn> <http://www.fixya.com/cars/t6933198-2008_grand_caravan_every_once_in_while> . *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 dodge grand caravan. the contact stated that the vehicle was repaired under the recall associated with nhtsa campaign id number 10v235000 (electrical system:wiring). after the repairs were completed, the contact noticed that the wires were left exposed and deteriorated. as a result, the windows would no longer open and the doors would not unlock . the vehicle was not taken back to the dealer. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was unknown and the current mileage was 129,060.

When unlocking the van, the horn starting blowing and the windshield wipers started going. after driving a few blocks, the van went into 2nd gear at 4000 rpm. a mile later, the engine cut off while driving down the road and i barely got off the road in traffic. a few weeks before this the heater did not work one evening. following that incident there was an episode of the horn blowing, windshield wipers going, and the washer fluid emptied. there have been about 10 incidents similar to these. the first incident was in a parking lot. when i returned to the car from shopping, it was obvious that the windshield wipers had turned themself on. it took 15 minutes for the incident of horn blowing and windshield wipers and washer fluid going to clear itself. disconnecting the battery did not make the horn and windshield wipers stop concerned about van stopping while driving. this is a serious safety issue. *tt

Tl* takata recall. the contact owns a 2008 dodge grand caravan. while driving various speeds, the vehicle stalled without warning. the contact received notification of nhtsa campaign numbers: 11v394000 (air bags, equipment) and 14v373000 (air bags, electrical system); however, the part to do the repair was unavailable. the contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was unknown. parts distribution disconnect.

While driving down the road at slow speed in the neighborhood, the car randomly shuts off. the power steering, the power brakes and the engine stop working. it is happening now more frequently - twice today and my wife and kids nearly had a head on accident. luckily the other car was able to swerve to miss our van otherwise there would have been a head-on. i took the car to my dealership several times over the last few months based on a recall notice that was issued for the van. i was told that they do not have the parts to fix it and that they have no idea when the parts will be available. how many people need to be hurt by this issue before they start delivering the parts to fix it? *tr

While driving down the road, vehicle will suddenly shutoff and horn will blare and windshield wipers will become active. other times, the lights will flicker and become inoperative at night. most likely to shut off when negotiating a turn. i have taken the vehicle to the dealer 8 times for this issue but they have been unable to recreate the situation and such unable to diagnose. there are many instances across the country on review boards and discussion websites with the same symptoms but the dealer is still unwilling to diagnose.

Driving about 60mph with three kids in car when key switched to off position. steering hard until i switched the car into neutral and restarted it. the key had done this once before in park and once while driving aprox 20mph on a dirt rd. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 dodge grand caravan. the contact stated the horn, and the windshield wiper fluids activated on their own intermittently. the vehicle was taken to the dealer who performed a diagnostic test that located several failure codes. the dealer cleared the failure codes, but the failure was not corrected. the horn and windshield wiper fluid continued to activate intermittently on its own. the manufacturer stated that they were not aware of the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure and the current mileage was 80,000. updated 10/11/11 *bf updated 10/21/11

Washed van, parked it in driveway. suddenly horn is beeping, lights flashing, wipers going and wiper fluid spewing out. could not turn off with panic button. could not open doors with fob. put key in lock and button came up but car kept pushing it into lock position. finally was able to hold door handle and when lock came up opened door. could not turn van off. disconnected battery cables and let vehicle reset itself. seemed fine. took out later in the day and wipers and fluid came on again and lights began to flash. power steering and brakes engaged and could barely get safely off road. after engine turned off by itself could not restart it. had it towed. dealer now trying to figure out what is wrong. no computer codes so will probably get vehicle back stating no errors are found. i do not feel safe in this vehicle any more. dodge should be made to diagnose and fix this problem before someone gets killed. if you view edmunds.com and carcomplaints.com/dodge/grand... you will find that many people are complaining about this same problem. consumers should probably file legal actions before many people get killed because their vehicles seem to have a mind of their own and stop whenever and wherever they so desire. who can we get to help us resolve this very serious problem with dodge grand caravans???? *tr
