Grand Caravan

  • 180,000 miles
In reference to recall 11V-139, the wireless ignition module, (win), in this vehicle has exhibited symptoms of early failure and eventual permanent failure. It would allow the fobik to release into the accessory position, resulting in the cessation of movement and other vehicle functions on multiple occasions. In response, last year, Chrysler noted that parts are back ordered and only vehicles rendered inoperable or dangerously impaired were currently being serviced. This situation has not improved, the win module has compounded its dysfunction over the course of the preceding year. The win module will no longer recognize either fobik, and only the odometer will light up when a fobik is put in run position, rendering the vehicle inoperable. The win module design is prone to failure beyond releasing the fobik, it may also eventually fail to recognize it, perhaps as a symptom on constant disconnection or deeply flawed design. The situation with the backlog of repairs also appears to be worsening: Fca us representatives have acknowledged that the back order of part 68241076ac may be as much as four weeks, even for a vehicle now rendered inoperable. I request that the recall be extended further still, to include permanent or persistent failure of these modules. Such a condition granting eligibility for the consumer to receive a rental vehicle for the duration of the repair, and a reexamination of the module design for the cause and probability of permanent failure.
