Problems with 2012 Dodge Grand Caravan ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Car just totallt stopped while driving. no power steering wheel locked up and key got stuck in ignition. van would not start back up. this is super dangerous and could have put my family in extreme danger.

While driving, the car stalls, but some electrical lights stay on. the speedometer drops to zero, the gas pedal does nothing, the power brakes stop but can brake with a lot of foot pressure, the power steering stops but can turn the wheel with arm strength, the left and right blinkers won't work, but hazard lights do work. the heater fan stops. but the lights in the dash stay on. this is scary because it can happen at any moment. we have been fortunate to be in an area where we can pull over without an accident... so far. this ignition switch electrical problem appears to have a recall on other dodge vehicles, but not the 2012 caravan. my mechanic has quoted a fix price of over $600 which is hitting us hard in the wallet. please encourage dodge to include the caravan in this recall. peoples lives are at stake. this has been happening at least 3-5 times per week, starting in the fall of 2019.

Tl* the contact owns a 2012 dodge grand caravan. the contact stated that that the vehicle failed to start after several attempts. the vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed. the contact was informed that the fuse panel needed to be replaced. hiller company chrysler dodge jeep ram located at ( 635 mill street, us-6, marion, ma 02738, (508) 748-0019) and informed of the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was contacted and informed of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 114,000. the vin was not included.

Vehicle will either not start or takes 6-12 times to start, not a battery issue. also power door will randomly not open. trunk will no longer open with the press of the button on the key. i've seen the not starting as an issue with many other people

I have previously reported an issue with my vehicle. the problem has persisted. the issue at hand is the vehicle loses power without warning while driving. it has happened at low speeds (25 mph), middle speeds (45 mph) and high speeds (65-70 mph). all warning lights are disabled when the events occur, so there is no way to warn other vehicles of the issues at hand, increasing the probability of a crash. i have taken my vehicle to cutter dodge in honolulu only to have been told that the battery cables were loose ($150 service fee) and that the primer that is included with new batteries to apply on the battery posts was something that they'd never seen before. the problem has persisted. i currently have my vehicle at a repair shop with a battery that won't hold a charge because the intergrated power module is malfunctioning. as seen is previous complaints, this issue is ongoing with 2012 dodge grand caravans. this issue presents a significant safety hazard and should be recalled. i will repeat that the driver has no warning that this issue will occur and it puts lives ...

This issue happened just this morning when the van was parked in my driveway and i attempted to open the sliding door on the passenger side of the van. i have attempted to open it many other times this morning while parked at my office with no success. it worked fine last night. the passenger door will not open or close either manually, using the automatic switch or the key fob. it makes a noise like it is trying to work, but then shuts off after a few seconds. this is an obvious safety issue if there were to be anybody needing to get out that door in case of an emergency. apparently (per the internet) this is a well know issue with dodge.

Tl* the contact owns a 2012 dodge grand caravan. while driving various speeds, the vehicle shut off without warning. the vehicle was towed to the contact's home after the latest failure. the contact also stated that the key fob did not cooperate with the transmitter and failed to operate. the dealer and manufacturer were not notified. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the failure mileage was 450,000.

Vehicle electrical and engine shutdown suddenly while driving 30mph on the road. no power steering or brakes, had to pull over to the shoulder. was able to restart the car and drive normally after a few minutes. brought to dealer but no engine codes were discovered. has recurred more than once in a 2yr period. related to this electrical (tipm) problem, car often requires 3 or 4 attempts to start. will sometimes start on its own several seconds after key stopped turning.

Fuel relay switch continuously runs after the vehicle is shut off which drains the battery and prevents it from starting. the vehicle then needs to be jump started by another vehicle and once the original vehicle is running and put into drive to be moved it shuts itself off because the battery is not fully charged.

My dodge caravan will shut off while driving. the most common issue i have had is that it will not start properly, but i am terrified that i will be on the freeway and have it die on me. according to my mechanic, the issue is a bad tipm.

My vehicle was not starting , it took 1-12 tries to finally get it to start, i had someone look at it and it was the intake sensor, i replaced tray, still didn't work, then the fuel pump, in true mean time my battery was drained because there was a noise by the back tire,(not air coming out of tire) sounded more like the heater was on, car was totally off. then the actuator, still not working, actually getting worse. now it takes 10-15 times to even start the car. i took it to the dealership and there is a recall for the ignition, however not for my vin, but other vans my same year and model. how could teis be? now they say i need to replace the ignition modular and that is over $1300.00, this should fall under warranty. again same year, same model, but because my vin is not part of it nothing i can do. and to top it off the part is factory back ordered, could take over a month to get. please help!
