Recently reported ELECTRICAL SYSTEM problems on 2011 Dodge Grand Caravan

Driver's side sliding door will not unlock manually, with button, or with key fob. i have tried unlocking the door while driving, in park, and when turned off. i have tried unlocking the door manually and the lock is stuck in the locked position.

while driving on the highway or street the vehicle looses all power. dash goes blank and no steering available. today i was driving on the highway van lost all power almost causing an accident.

Wireless ignition node (win) module position fails compromising the ability to start the engine with key fob. this was repaired once for 122 dollars. three months later, dealership wants 1200 to fix it. vehicle was stationary and tow truck was required.

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 and causing other electrical issues. this is a safety hazard. i contacted dodge and they refuse to do anything to help because my vehicle is "outside the warranty". i explained how this problem doesn't even start until approx. 70,000 miles(i'm currently at 60,000). beyond that the warrant y was expired ...

Tl* the contact owns a 2011 dodge grand caravan. while driving at unknown speeds, the vehicle experienced a loss of power. the contact managed to move the vehicle to the shoulder of the road and turned off the engine. the vehicle failed to restart. aaa towed the vehicle to tom ahl chrysler, dodge, jeep, ram (617 king ave, lima, oh 45805, (419) 909-6322) where it was diagnosed that the totally integrated fuse box power module failed and needed to be replaced. the vehicle was repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure and provided case number: 68053361. the contact was advised to call nhtsa. the contact also referenced nhtsa action number: dp14004dp14004(electrical system). the failure mileage was approximately 140,000. the vin was unknown.

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.

Internal fuel pump relay failure within tipm

My vehicle was at jeff wyler chrysler, dodge and jeep in batavia, ohio for a week plus a few days. in all of that time that this vehicle was having its transmission issues diagnosed and inspected, the service department failed to address the open recall of nhtsa recall #17v-376, fca recall #t33 for the steering wheel wiring. the dealership knows about open recalls and, yet failed to perform the repairs on this vehicle. instead, it allowed my vehicle to be towed from its lot back to my home address, despite knowing that it failed to address the recall. dodge customer care representatives informed me of this recall while i was on the phone with them and still the dealership did not even make mention of this. they failed to repair the potentially dangerous or fatal issues with the vehicle and dodge failed to ensure that the vehicle recall was completed during all of my conversations with dodge and dodge executive office personnel.

2011 dodge grand caravan had a faulty tipm and is a known problem costing well over $1500.00 at dodge to get a new tipm. this effects the stability control module, the transmission electronic shifting, the brake lights and the air conditioning just to name a few issues. we have reached out to dodge and they will not cover it.

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 and get out and a few minutes later we get back in and van cranks but won't start.

Van lost all power multiple lights come on and dash had to get towed 200 miles everything is pointing to the tipm totally integrated power module being being bad

The 2011 dodge caravan tipm module causing al type of issues, these issues are known by dodge/chrysler is there a recall for this well documented faulty part this part can single handedly disable and operation. the engine wont start because fuel pump not engaging the van wont shift out of park, the ac fan turns on when it feels like, the tipm controls pretty much everything its a $1500 the internet is full of complaints i don't understand how this isn't a recall i just tried to see if dodge could order one cost was $1500 for part and install the best part was is they are backordered and no eta for part this part goes bad your vehicle is useless

Fuel pump relay is faulty and not serviceable. power to fuel pump can and does cut out without warning. my car has only 54;653 miles when relay quite. an aftermarket bypass devise was needed to keep vehicle running. luckily my vehicle was parked when relay stopped working.

Tl* the contact owns a 2011 dodge grand caravan. the contact stated that the vehicle stalled and would shut off intermittently. the contact also stated that multiple electrical failures occurred, including the speedometer becoming defective while traveling various speeds, multiple warning indicators flashing or remaining illuminated, and the headlights would fade or flicker without warning. the contact took the vehicle to ginn chrysler jeep dodge (5190 us-278, covington, ga 30014) on multiple occasions to be serviced; however, the failures continued. the contact also had the vehicle towed to an unknown dealer in michigan where the alternator was replace; however, the failures continued. the manufacturer was not notified of the failures. the vehicle had not been repaired. the failure mileage was unknown.

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!
