I can't believe that there isn't a class action law suit about the TIPM on the Dodge Caravan. I understand they knew about this problem and still installed them. The price on the TIPM ranges from 700 dollars and up. I also have brake problems. I will never buy a Chrysler product again.

Did I mention I have two Dodge Caravans both with the same problems. Shame on them. I'm very disappointed - I try to buy domestic to keep work in my country. I hope that something will be done sooner than later.

Thanks for reading about my frustration.

It all began with intermittent issues of it not starting on the first try. Some days it would take 3 tries, others were 20-30 tries to turn it over. Finally it left me stranded. Fortunately it was at a gas station during a fill up in my town. Had it towed to my local mechanic and he diagnosed the TIPM. In the process of testing all the components he had disconnected the TIPM and reconnected it when the test was over. It started up again. The cost to replace the TIPM was around $800 so I declined at the time. This was during warmer weather. I went ahead and drove it in the cold weather season and it didn't have any 'major' hiccups until now, since the warmer weather is back. Not sure if that is incidental or if the warmer temperatures cause it to act up worse. Regardless, I'm back to having more frequent and longer hiccups with it starting. Expecting to be stranded again this summer so I'm going to have to cough up the $600-$800 for a new TIPM or chance it with a rebuilt one for around $350. It also appears there is a class action lawsuit so I am crossing my fingers since it appears this is a major common issue.I had my vehicle since around the 26000 mile mark and it ran fine until now, so if new TIPM gets me another 70,000 miles down the road then I guess it is worth it. Hoping the lawsuit reimburses everyone effected by this.

Update from Jul 22, 2020: I ended up finding a fuel pump bypass kit that easily installs into the TIPM board. This came along after I noticed one night that my fuel pump was humming while my van was off. After installing the fuel pump bypass circuit, it started like new and no need to replace the TIPM. Has been starting and running properly ever since. Here is the link. Hopefully this can work for you as well. https://www.verticalvisions.com/tipm-plug-in-fuel-pump-power-bypass-test-system.html

Phone: 800-423-6343 This is the number to Dodge Hopefully if enough people call we can get it recalled!

I had my van shut off on a highway, It recently had to be towed to the dealership and is now a giant paperweight It wont start. Took the mechanic 2 days to find the problem which is the TIPM (Total Integrated Power Module) Then i find out it isn't covered under warranty. How is one of the main components to your vehicle not covered!!?? This problem has stranded me and my kids numerous times and is bound to cause a accident at some point when it shuts off going 65 mps with no warning.

For over a year our vehicle has hesitated to start. When we had warranty work done, they were unable to replicate the issue, but it has continued on and off ever since. This past week the engine would not start at all. It acted like it would turn over, but it did not. We had to call AAA four times in one week. After days of this it died and stopped even trying to start. Finally, we had it towed to the shop where they told us it was the fuel pump and replaced it but still, were unable to start the vehicle. We just got a call today saying that it’s the TIPM and that this is a known issue with Dodge and Chrysler. This should be a recall and we should be reimbursed.

We are experiencing the same TIPM issues that several other FCA customers are having-fuel pump continuing to run after vehicle shutdown, door locks operating by themselves, sporadic engine starting, etc...Behavior by both FCA and NHTSA is disgusting, and we beleaguered owners can only wait for karma to come around. Oh, and boycott FCA products! Make your voice be heard on every venue you can!

By the way, who oversees the overseers? Is there an official body count required before NHTSA will do their jobs? Who do we contact that can look into NHTSA's performance? Something needs to be done about this blatantly dangerous situation.

My 2011 Dodge Grand Caravan has stalled out on us 3 times on the freeway with no warning. After waiting about 40min. to an hour it starts right up like there's no problem. Recently the van stalled out while I was towing my small camper. When I take it to get checked out no problem can ever be found. This is so dangerous and there should be a recall on this. This article I recently read at www.chryslerproblems.com/trends/tipm/ actually says 2011 dodge grand caravan has this issue more than other years. This is very unsafe.

This TIPM issue is one of many issues that I have had with my 2011 Dodge Grand Caravan and why is this not part of a recall as Dodge has already settled faulty TIPM issues with the Durango and other lines of their vehicles. I have also had the transmission rebuilt, head replace on engine, AC unit replaced, electric door recalibrated a couple of times along with other recall issues addressed. Now the dealership sales and service guys are confirming to me that it is a bad vehicle. That I should trade it in to them and buy another crappy Dodge vehicle. This is the worst vehicle I have ever owned and will never buy another Dodge again. Dodge builds faulty vehicles, has the client buy extended warranties to cover their oversights, and does not understand that the most important thing in business is satisfied customers. Extremely Dissatisfied Dodge/Chrysler Customer.

So we were having our sliding van doors opening by themselves, windows opening, the radio would turn on and windshield wipers turned on by themselves. The lights would turn on themselves inside the van. We took it to get fixed and they replaced it with a new TIPM....well, that cost a couple grand. Now about a year and a half later we are starting to have the same issues again. Also ever since the dealership replaced the TIPM the fog lights work as the turn signal and the turn signal works at the fog lights. The dealership won't fix it and said it wasn't their fault when they changed the TIPM.

I THINK IT IS RIDICULOUS THAT THE BATTERY OUTLASTED THE TIPM FUEL RELAY SWITCH. HAD IT IN AND FINALLY ON THE 3RD ATTEMPT IT ACTED UP FOR THEM AND THEY DIAGNOSED THE RELAY. IT HAD ME STRANDED ONCE FORTUNATELY I WAS AT HOME, BUT STILL MISSED WORK.

WHEN I HAD IT IN THE SHOP THIS LAST TIME I HAD TO RENT A CAR. IT KEPT TRYING TO TURN OVER. SEEMED LIKE IF I TAPPED ON THE GAS TANK IT WOULD START, SO FIGURED IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP. THEY TESTED IT. IT CHECKED OUT FINE. SECOND TIME AFTER FINALLY GETTING IT STARTED, DROPPED IT OFF. IT STARTED FINE SEVERAL DAYS FOR THEM. THEN IT WAS TOTALLY DEAD. I GOT THE KEY STUCK IN THE IGNITION. CHANGED BATTERY. IT STARTED EVENTUALLY. THEN TRIED AGAIN AND SAME PROBLEM .HAD IT TOWED AND FORTUNATELY IT ACTED UP FOR THEM THIS TIME AND THEY WERE ABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM.

Several issues have occurred with my vehicle which leads me to believe that there is a faulty TIPM installed. I have experienced on numerous occasions turning the key in the ignition and only getting a click, remove key fob and try again, vehicle starts. I have also recently turned key fob in ignition and had the starter continually turn without starting vehicle. Was unable to remote unlock vehicle one morning and had to unlock with the key located in key fob. Once vehicle was unlocked, vehicle would not start, acted like it had a dead battery. Placed vehicle on charger and got it started. Mechanic checked vehicle could not find anything wrong. Drove car for 3 days and the check engine light came on and has not gone out. If Dodge knew about these issues they should be held accountable for repairs.

I have changed the battery, alternator, starter all to come to finally find out I have a BAD TIPM. I don't understand why there isn't a recall as of yet. I am a single parent and need my vehicle for work and my kids. This is costing me money and causing me stress that I don't need. So now I am debating on what to do since this is going to cost me more money that I can't afford to spend and right before the holidays. The mechanic that finally found my issue stated I can get it started after 34 tries and then it might stall or stop on me in the middle of the road. This is so not safe. So at loss because I am still paying for this vehicle.

I have taken my dodge grand caravan in for recalls multiple times to adjust the computer. Every time some little glitch seemed to appear. First the wipers would speed up and slow down randomly, the window only works when it wants to. the gas pump you can hear running even when the vehicle is off at random times as well. while driving there is a random jerk occasionally. the charging ports began doing out. the car would start when it wants to. I have had the fuses checked, the starter replaced and the batter replaced 3x . I checked and all connections are in good condition and not corroded. the alternator starter and battery are all good. After the vehicle fires up and is running it will stay on the next day it is the same problem. continuing to try and try to start. sometimes it is a click sometimes it will just not turn over. After a time and continuous tries it turns over . There are no warning lights etc. The only thing mentioned to me is that it may be the tipm.

Something has to be done i cannot keep ding this with 6 children especially with cold weather coming and

we travel often. this is dangerous to have such an unsafe vehicle. I am so aggravated and annoyed.

I have only had my van for two years and it's been nothing but a huge headache. These past few months have been hell as the dealership thinks that the TIPM is not the problem when I know damn well it is. I know a bit about vehicles and when I push on the wires, fuses of the TIPM my vehicle does not act up for a while I'm pretty much just buying time until the company admits that this is a problem/safety concern. I can only do this so much before my vehicle just decides to crap out. I refuse to pay any more money into this heap of crap!!!! I had a Toyota before I had children and never had it in the shop other than the regular maintenance. After owning a Dodge, I can safely say that I will NEVER buy a dodge as long as I live and will spread the word of how dissatisfied I am. The FACT that they know these parts are defective and causing HUGE safety issues and they do nothing, just blows my mind. That is not how to keep clientele coming back for your product. They should take responsibility for their F up and RECALL the TIPM in these models. What's it going to take? People getting killed because they shrug it off. Something needs to be done. I have spent over $2000 in this vehicle that I bought at a dealership in what I thought was in good condition.

I got stuck on Halloween at a gas station ! car would not start I missed seeing my kids get dressed for Halloween . I had to have the car towed home then it wouldn't start again had it towed to my mechanic who cost me hundreds of dollars trying different thing thinking it was the fuel pump fuel relay etc.... a fortune in labor only to finally figure out the tipm is defective . over $ 800 to fix i cant afford plus lost wages from trying to find rides to work etc.... I am so pissed off that isnt being handled appropriately by a manufacturer as large as Dodge. This van is only 6 years old what the heck !!!!!
