I have owned this van since 05/24/2012. At 30,922 miles and date of 01/06/2014 the positive battery cable corroded through and the van died while driving. The dealer replaced the entire cable under factory warranty. On 04/24/2016 & 62,036 miles the positive battery cable corroded through again and the van died while driving it. It seems that this is going to happen every 2 years. Eventually it's going to happen in heavy traffic and someone will get run over by fast rush hour traffic.

Earlier 2008 to 2010 Chrysler Town & Country and Dodge Grand Caravan were experiencing an ignition problem with the (win) wireless ignition node module recall #14V-373, Chrysler #R03. We noticed that an extra fobik could not be programmed on these vehicles because of a failure in the (win). These affected models were replaced under this recall. I now have a 2012 Grand Caravan that also has a non-responsive (win) (extra fobik can not be programmed) and will need to be replaced; however, this is nearly an identical unit to the 2008-2010 models and this is the same thing we experienced with the module loosing its communication. I suspect that it is a precursor to the same issue (win failure) and Chrysler needs to replace these newer units as well. A complete failure of the ignition module could shut the vehicle off when it is going down the road. This problem they are having with newer ignition modules appears to be very similar to the earlier model. Its a potential hazard and an expensive fix that people could put off (don't have to program an extra fobik) and later have a bigger issues with a (win) failure that causes an engine shut-off condition going down the road.

Our van has had electrical issues over the past 3-4 weeks. First, certain lights in the cabin would flicker intermittently. Starting last week, the dash lights would flicker on and off while driving. The car then started to lose power while idling. Then one day the car briefly lost power while going 75 mph on I-70. It restored instantly but displayed a battery warning light. I pulled over and restarted the vehicle, where it operated normally again. Within the last few days, however, the car continues to lose power while idling, even if in gear.

3 instances of engine electrical issues, suspect power control module box. First instance about 2 years ago, pulling into driveway, and headlights and dashboard begin to flicker uncontrollably. I pulled negative battery cable, re-connected after a couple of minutes, and all normality returns. 2nd issue, some year ago or less, car shuts down in middle of highway, luckily, right next to a parking lot and red light. As engine shut down, I suspected this issue once again. I used momentum to turn into parking lot. (just rolled in.) wife asked me what I was doing, didn't explain until I was able to secure into parking lot and stop vehicle. Once again, pulled off cable on battery, and was able to re-set computer glitch. Third issue event. Was parked in parking lot, couldn't get key control to open door. Used emergency key to open door, once again, pulled off battery cable and re-set computer. There is a problem with this computer without a doubt.

Purchased this vehicle in Sept 2013, immediately the second row, passenger-side seatbealt does not propel back. The seller of the vehicle, directed me to a mechanic to repair it but shortly after it occured again. Less than a year after purchase, the fuse/motor on the driver's seat just stopped and the seat is unable to be adjusted. Last week, went for repairs to front wheel bearing (tire popped directly off) and was advised the rear wheel bearing will also need to be replaced. Cannot tell if any of these are normal wear and tear or malfunctions with the vehicle, especially since I have only had it for 2 years.

My van is only 3 years old and have had to replace the battery in Sept 2015. It's mid November and now I'm having trouble with the battery dying frequently. I went to where I purchased the battery from and they checked the battery and said it's fine. The motor ranks without starting 2-3 times before finally starting. I believe this is because of the fuel pump or fuel pump relay. The relays chatter a lot and the fuel pump sounds much different now than it did when I purchased the vehicle. It's as if the battery is being G drained slowly because of either the fuel pump or fuel pump relay or both. I am a certified aircraft and auto mechanic with electrical troubleshooting capabilities. I have yet to approach the Dodge dealer with this because it has only happened twice so far with me being at work while my wife has had to deal with this issue both times so far.

The van for a few weeks would occasionally not start on the first attempt, it would crank, just not start. At first I thought I just didn't turn the key long enough to start, but in the beginning of October it started getting worse and I knew there was a problem. I took it to a mechanic on Oct 7th and they couldn't duplicate the no start issue and couldn't find anything, so I was asked to bring it back when their mopar guy was back. We thought it was a fuel pump issue so we tried to run a cleaner through it, but after a few days it only go worse. On Oct 19th I brought it back to the mechanic (still thinking it was a fuel pump issue) and they said the crank senor was not responding. They replaced that twice but it still wouldn't respond to the programming. Had to pay $150+ for the crank sensor... they finally said that I would need to bring it to the dealership because it most likely was the main computer and since that part would be covered under warranty they could replace it without any out of pocket. I brought it to the dealership and they informed me it was the tipm and that it would cost over $1,000 to fix. The guy at the dealership said it's "not a common problem" so they couldn't get the part from their warehouse, they had to order it from the manufacturer and it would be in at the beginning of next week (Oct 26th or 27th). I hadn't heard anything so I went into find out what was going on and he informed me that the part had to be made because "it's not common" and would hopefully be in around Friday (Oct 30th). Still no word. And today I found out this is not uncommon that there is actually a class action lawsuit for this very issue!!!! they will not give me a loaner and I have 3 kids that I have no way of getting around in a little Kia forte.
