Used car lots are disconnecting the horn and selling the 20008 Grand Caravan for up to 10,000 dollars to customers who are unaware that any time the Caravan will become disabled while driving on any street or highway because the tmpi is faulty and Caravan wipers will spray continuously wiper fluid on windshield. ( the horn will blow continuously if not tampered with and disabled. As in this situation with the 20008 Dodge Grand Caravan. Resource '. customer reviews and complaints filed against Dodge Chrysler corporations) Caravan will not excel over 30 miles an hour. When Caravan is finally parked the engine will not turn off. Caravan will not go into drive or reverse. Engine continuously idles while on the back of the wrecker/flatbed with the keys removed and then finally shuts its self off. Another issue.... the used car lot owner will then repossess said vehicle and sell it to another unsuspecting customer who will buy the Caravan that needs to be recalled because the cost of said vehicle repair part (tmpi) is $1,080 and $115 labor cost to fix the repair an hour. Because buyer cannot afford the repair costs and the Caravan payments and full coverage insurance..which does not pay to replace the altered or defective tmpi.

- Memphis, TN, USA

While driving on city street (between 20 and 30 mph) the vehicle engine shut off. The power steering and power brakes also stopped making the vehicle difficult to stop or maneuver to a safe stopping location. There was no warning of a failure and the only indication was the traction control/stability dash indicator. After the vehicle was stopped it was placed in park and restarted, then drove fine. There were still no indications of a failure (cel or ses light). No diagnostic codes were stored on the computer. Because this happens completely unexpected, if it were to occur while going around a curve or in an intersection there is a safety concern.

- Wilmington, IL, USA

While driving and while stopped at a stop light, the van will power down completely. Engine turns off, power steering fails, and all electrical. The egr valve dangerously causes the vehicle to quit even while driving in traffic. This is a huge safety issue. I was traveling down the road at 40mph with all four of my kids in tow, when the power steering went out and vehicle completely quit. Thankfully, I was able to pull hard on the wheel to pull over. After several tries, I was able to restart the van. The valve is apparently failing to send fuel to the necessary areas of the engine causing it to shut completely down. This has now occurred on numerous occasions and I no longer trust this vehicle as a safe and dependable family vehicle.

- Blanchard, PA, USA

I was driving on a busy main city road at night, traveling around 35 mph when my van shut off and the wipers and horn went crazy. I lost all power steering and brakes. Headlights also cut out. I struggled to get to the side of the road and into a parking lot. The front wipers stopped when I turned the key off, but the back wiper and horn continued for about 10 min. I did not have tools to disconnect the battery. Suddenly there was a flash of all the lights in the car and everything seemed to be back to normal with the exception of the check engine light appearing on the dash. I was able to restart the vehicle and drive another half mile to my home. This is the first time this has happened while driving, that I have lost all engine power and steering, it is not the first time the van has acted out. Wipers will suddenly start moving when I am driving or the horn with suddenly sound and radio will cut out. I have also had it go crazy with windshield wipers moving, horn honking, locks malfunctioning and fluid sprayed all over the car when I unlocked it. My wife once had my kids trapped inside of the care for 10 mins until I could I drive over and disconnected the battery. I have been told it is the tipm acting up. It has happened more than 10 times. I do not trust the vehicle. I have read about many more instances online. This could cause an accident if it was in rush hour or on a busier road.

The dealer replaced the tipm again.

- Parkersburg, WV, USA

Several times my van, whether I have warmed it up or just got in and took off, will spontaneously die. Usually with in the first mile of driving. Usually I just slip it into neutral and restart. This doesn't usually bother me since I live over a mile from any significant traffic but, it happen twice over our family get together in St louis. Scary sitting in a busy intersection and your car is dead. Has always been while the van is in motion. Not really associated with any turning. This happens about 4-10 times a month. Started about 3-4 months ago.
