Tipm had to be replaced due to electrical instability with the fuel system. Same tipm that was involved in the 2014 recall for the Dodge durango and Jeep Grand Cherokee. Vehicle would not start or would not stay running. No power to the fuel pump. New tipm was redesigned and had to have 5 pages of instructions to rewire the new tipm to fit in to vehicle.

The vehicle stops running without warning. It has occurred on three occasions: Once at a slow speed (25 mph) on flat terrain, going uphill at 57 mph, going down hill at 45 mph, all in good weather conditions and traveling in a straight line. The car cannot be immediately restarted, but after a period of minutes will restart. The engine seems to be in good condition and has plenty of power. There appears to be no engine/mechanical reason for these events. The events leave no trace or error message that can be obtained by our mechanic. If this power outage occurred when in the passing lane, crossing a rode at an unprotected intersection or other condition where stalling out randomly would leave us or others in a life threatening situation it would be terrible. We have been forced to stop driving the vehicle for fear of injury or worse.

Takata tipm problems it wont start

- Zapata Tx., TX, USA

Wont start. Fuel pump doesnt run at times, no fuel no start. At times it runs & stops on road. Verry dangerous in traffic. Windows roll down by themself. Doors un lock by themself. Dealer doesnt know what is wrong I am told. The dealer says the problem may be the tipm computer but will not say for sure. But they will replace it if I want, for $1200 no guarantee it will fix it. These vehicles with this type of computer should be recalled. They are a danger tothe public. When driving on road they will stop running because of fuelpump & tipm are not working correctlu.

Own a Dodge gran caravab 2011 with 83000 miles, suddenly one day, started having issues when starting the car, troubleshoot everything, starter, changed relays, gas pump and nothing, took it to the mechanic and couldn't find anything, sometimes the car start and sometimes it doesn't. it cranks but it doesn't start. Checked on line and it looks like a lot of Dodge or Chrysler having same issue, fuel pump relay tipm is malfunctioning. This ahould be a recall already. I need to change the fuel box for $1000 or buy a bypass made for (wd) Dodge durango (wk) Jeep Grand Cherokee from recall safety recall R09 / NHTSA 15V-115 fuel pump relay. I am attaching recall for Dodge durango.

In July 2017 my 2011 Dodge Grand Caravan was brought to my Dodge dealership due to problems starting and the stalling of vehicle while on the road. Dealership felt it was the fuel pump which was covered under my vehicle protection plan. My car was given back to me approximately 3 days later. My husband picked up the car and within 4 hours, car gave difficulty starting and stalled while driving at a major intersection. Dealership was contacted the very next morning and car was brought to back to the dealership. It was then discovered that the tipm of the car had to be replaced. This unfortunately is not covered. My issue is that if the car is stalling at intersections and possibly endangering the life of myself and my children in the car.. how can this not be covered" how can there not be a safety recall" I am lucky that the car did start back up, but I now fear driving this vehicle.

For the last month I have been having trouble starting the van. Turn the key, radio and dash lights comes on but the vehicle will not start. Try several times and eventually it will start. Took van into repair shop and they replaced the battery; however, still having the unreliable starting issue. Took into a Dodge dealer and they said couldn't find anything. Starting to question if it is an issue with the tipm - this is the van I use to Transport my children around, concerned when you read the additional issues if it is a defective tipm.

My airbag light would come on and go off randomly. I took it back to my dealer and it was stated that it was an issue with in the wiring but not an issue with the airbag. Now my airbag light has been on for over a month. I checked recalls and see there is a recall on 2011-2012 Dodge Grand Caravan for the driver side airbag randomly deploying yet nothing for my VIN. I drive my children around in this vehicle and if the driver side or either side was to randomly deploy....this is a catastrophe waiting to happen!!!

Car was not able to start with clicking noise. Also fuel pump was still running long after car was turned off and exited. Problem was the tipm. This is a recall for other Dodge models that are 2011 yet it is not for my van. This is over a $1000 problem to have dealership change the tipm. Now my airbag light is on. I'm finding mass of people had this problem because of water intrusion in connection in engine compartment. How is this not a recall? that should be a water sealed connection to prevent airbag system shutting off. We were stationary, car running, light came on.

Car will not start, will crank but no turn over. It will only start if I bypass the fuel pump relay. This is an ongoing issue with Dodge/Chrysler and some vehicles have been recalled for this fault tipm but the Caravan hasn't. this is a safety issue as the car will stall at any moment while driving if does start to begin with.

My van is cranking but not turning over. There are several recalls for the same issue for other Dodge and Chrysler vehicles but not mine. It states when researching it's a tipm issue.

I have reported this problem a year ago after seeing the lawsuit on Jeep Cherokee and Dodge durangos. Having to replace the tpim module. I've seen several complaint about having to change the battery then the altenator then the tpim. I did all that and my vehicles electrical system still is giving me problems. The doors will not side open the air blows heat automatically when not even on and now won't even start. Problem after problem and still no recall. There has been hundreds of complaints about faulty tipm's and even a lawsuit. The dealership say's they don't know what the problem is but each person I've seen complain shares the same problem. First told it's the battery then the altenator then the tpim. Why has this not been recalled. Dodge knows this is a problem or they wouldn't have settled a lawsuit about the Cherokee and the durango. This is not right at all and we need help fixing this issue asap.

I purchased my 2011 Grand Caravan in July 2012 an have had several problems with it ever since. There have been multiple instances of the engine stalling while driving and/or my vehicle not starting. I have since troubleshot this down to the fuel pump relay being faulty in the tipm. I have also had issues of un-commanded opening and closing of the rear sliding doors while parked. I also get an random flicker of the airbag light on dash with audio tone. These issues were discussed with a mechanic at the local Dodge dealership when having a recall performed on the "misfire" issue. I was told that the software was updated and I should not have any more issues. That has definitely not been the case. One of the above mentioned issues occurs on a weekly if not daily basis. I do not feel safe putting my family in this vehicle!

Van stalls and sometimes will not start back up. This has happened a few times on the highway so I can no longer drive the van as this problem is getting worst every day my husband drives it to work and has had the same problem as I have had with the van. We are thinking of trading it in but don't want anyone to get suck in the middle of the highway

I've had my van since October 2016, 60000 miles on odometer at time of purchase. January 29 and February 1, 2017 the car has completely shut off while driving. On January 29, I was on the highway doing 65 mph. Feb 1, I was leaving my job's parking lot and later a grocery store parking lot. The lights flickered each time and the van then 'died'. it restarted when I tried.
