IllustrationThe interior over head map light shorted out unexpectedly and cause a small burn inside the bezel for the lights and now they do not work. The wiring inside seems to be burned out from electrical surge that caused the overload.

The problem appears to be the power module. My van is psychotic. Problem usually occurs when headlights are on, although sometimes AC will also do it. Headlights and/or wipers will randomly turn off (or on, though the off is what is scary and dangerous.) Entire electrical system is unreliable. Sometimes engine just shuts off, dash lights randomly blink, TPMS light illuminates randomly when pressure is good. Battery stops charging, although alternator and battery test good. I have had both wipers and headlights fail while driving at night in the rain. I will put a date of two years ago, and the problem still persists. Chrysler no longer sells this part. Vehicle has a lifetime power train warranty, but is a death trap to drive.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SHUT DOWN AND POWER WINDOW FAILURE, DOME LIGHT FAILURE AND REMOTE CONTROL DOOR LOCK/UNLOCK FAILURE

MY GAUGES STARTED GOING CRAZY. THE ABS AND BRAKE LIGHTS CAME ON. THE HEATER AND RADIO WENT OFF WHILE THIS WAS HAPPENING. AT TIMES THE VAN JUST CUT OFF IN TRAFFIC BUT SO FAR I'M ABLE TO START IT UP AGAIN. WAS TOLD BY RICK HENDRICKS CHEVROLET SERVICE DEPT THAT I NEEDED TO AN ALTERNATOR. HAD A NEW ALTERNATOR INSTALLED BY B&B AUTOMOTIVE ALONG WITH A TENSIONER. VAN STILL DOING THE SAME THING. ALSO, WHEN THE GAUGES START GOING CRAZY, THEY MAKE A TAPPING/TICKING NOISE. I REPLACED THE BATTERY IN OCTOBER OR NOVEMBER OF LAST YEAR BECAUSE THE VAN AT TIMES DID NOT START.. ON ONE OCCASION WHEN I HAD TROUBLE GETTING IT TO START, THE NEXT DAY I TOOK IT TO GERALD'S TIRES AND BRAKES WHO TOLD ME I NEEDED A BATTERY. THIS MORNING WHEN I APPROACHED A STOP SIGN AND STOPPED, THE VAN CUT OFF BUT FORTUNATELY I WAS ABLE TO START IT UP AGAIN. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE VAN IS IN MOTION. HAPPENS JUST ABOUT EVERY DAY BECAUSE I DRIVE TO AND FROM WORK. I LIMIT MY TRIPS TO GET GROCERIES OR DO ANY UNNECESSARY DRIVING BECAUSE I'M AFRAID OF THE VAN CUTTING OFF IN TRAFFIC.

PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT DOES NOT OPERATE ON LOW BEAM. OCCASIONALLY WILL COME ON WHEN DRIVING ON ROUGH SURFACES BUT WILL GO OUT AGAIN. SERIOUS SAFETY DEFECT AND A KNOW ISSUE WITH THE TIPM (FUSE BOX UNDER HOOD) BEING DIAGNOSED AS THE PROBLEM BY A REPUTABLE MECHANIC. HEADLIGHT BULB HAS BEEN REPLACED, HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY HAS BEEN REPLACED (THEY WERE "FOGGY" ANYWAY), FUSES HAVE BEEN REPLACED, HEADLIGHT SWITCH HAS BEEN TESTED (SWAPPED WITH A KNOWN GOOD SWITCH) AND THE HEADLIGHT IS STILL NOT WORKING. BLUBS USED ON PASSENGER SIDE WERE TESTED ON DRIVER SIDE AND ARE WORKING PROPERLY. NUMEROUS INSTANCES OF THIS ISSUE HAVE BEEN REPORTED, MANY VIDEOS AND ARTICLES ON-LINE REGARDING THE ISSUE AND STILL NO RESOLUTION FROM THE MANUFACTURER. DO PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE THEY DO A RECALL AND ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR DESIGN FLAW WITH THE CIRCUIT BOARD IN THE TIPM AND IT IS CORRECTED?
IGNITION SWITCH DOESN'T RETURN TO ON AFTER STARTING. CAUSES DIRECTIONAL SIGNALS NOT TO WORK AND FLASHERS WON'T WORK. IF I PUT RIGHT SIGNAL ON THE LEFT WILL FLASH. IF I MANUALLY MOVE IT TO ON POSITION THEN EVERYTHING STARTS WORKING AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION WHEN THIS WAS DISCOVERED AND STOPPED WHEN I FOUND OUT WHY.

LAST WEEK, WITHIN A MINUTE OR TWO OF REFUELING AND RESTARTING THE ENGINE, THE CAR STALLED COMPLETELY - ELIMINATING STEERING CONTROL AND MAKING BRAKING EXTREMELY DIFFICULT, CAUSING ME TO HIT THE OPPOSITE CURB AND OBSTRUCT TRAFFIC. THIS HAS OCCURRED AT LEAST 7 TIMES IN THE PAST 2 YEARS. IT HAS HAPPENED IMMEDIATELY AS I'VE EXITED THE PUMPS AT THE GAS STATION AND ALSO AFTER I'VE EXITED THE STATION AND TURNED ONTO A CITY STREET OR A HIGHWAY. ONE TIME IT HAPPENED AS I TURNED ONTO A FREEWAY ON-RAMP. IT HAS HAPPENED AFTER TURNING AND ALSO WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT AHEAD. I HAVE REPORTED THIS FRIGHTENING SITUATION TO THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP. THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING THE MATTER. WHEN IT OCCURRED AGAIN, I'VE TAKEN IT TO TWO INDEPENDENT MECHANICS WHO ALSO COULDN'T FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM.

FRI., JUL 28, WHILE DRIVING AT A LOW SPEED (5 MPH) TO GET INTO A FUNERAL PROCESSION MY CAR SUDDENLY STOPPED MIDWAY THROUGH A SLIGHT TURN LEFT. A BATTERY ICON LIT UP AS WELL AS "PCM" MESSAGE. THIS CAUSED ME TO BLOCK TRAFFIC. IT WAS RAINING AND I AM VERY FORTUNATE THAT I HAD NOT YET MADE IT TO THE HIGHWAY BEFORE THE CAR STOPPED. ALTHOUGH I HAD TURNED THE CAR OFF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FLASHED AND THE ODOMETER CONTINUOUSLY SWITCHED BETWEEN 0 AND 5 MI. WHENEVER I ATTEMPTED TO OPEN THE DRIVER DOOR THE ALARM WENT OFF AND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL INDICATED THAT THE KEY FOB WAS DISCONNECTED. THE KEY FOB HAS A NEW BATTERY AND IT NEVER LEFT THE CAR. IT TOOK NEARLY 30 MINUTES FOR THE INSTRUMENT PANEL TO STOP FLASHING.

1DP14002 · Engine Stall After Refueling
Opened Sep 5, 2014 · Closed Apr 6, 2015
Status: closed (inferred from source dates) · Fuel System, Gasoline:storage:tank Assembly
This defect petition evaluates July 7, 2014 allegations from an owner of a model year (MY) 2007 Dodge Grand Caravan minivan that engine stall occurs in these vehicles without warning after refueling.The petitioner's vehicle is a Chrysler RS platform minivan.The RS platform includes MY 2003 through 2007 Dodge Grand Caravan, Dodge Caravan, Chrysler Town and Country and Chrysler Voyager minivans.NHTSA evaluated the petition by analyzing consumer complaints submitted to the Agency, analyzing field data, reviewing technical information provided in Chrysler's response to an Agency information request and testing an RS minivan identified by its owner as experiencing post-refuel engine stalls.After completing this evaluation, NHTSA has concluded that further investigation is unlikely to result in a finding that a defect related to motor vehicle safety exists.The stalls occurring in these vehicles only occur immediately after filling up the fuel tank and happen at low engine speeds. The failure rate is low, even after 8 to 13 years of the vehicles being in service, and there are no reports of crashes or injuries resulting from the stall condition.In the Agency's view, additional investigation is unlikely to result in finding the existence of a safety-related defect in the subject vehicles.Given the need to allocate and prioritize NHTSA's limited resources to best accomplish the Agency's safety mission, the petition is denied.This action does not constitute a finding by NHTSA that a safety-related defect does not exist. The Agency will take further action if warranted by future circumstances. More details concerning our review can be found in the Federal Register Notice for this action.The following 161 VOQs are included in the petition evaluation: 10209242, 10229468, 10240708, 10260923, 10275939, 10276532, 10296487, 10298175, 10328669, 10330144, 10346517, 10349789, 10354758, 10363689, 10372112, 10372368, 10372514, 10378031, 10379764, 10382938, 10387448, 10394063, 10398877, 10413918, 10418652, 10420924, 10427063, 10437525, 10445392, 10446902, 10470028, 10471249, 10473733, 10502231, 10503114, 10504260, 10509862, 10511988, 10512120, 10512385, 10512650, 10513147, 10538154, 10549841, 10551763, 10555188, 10555418, 10556754, 10565367, 10574012, 10574398, 10586555, 10587212, 10587559, 10593433, 10607841, 10607913, 10608922, 10615810, 10622468, 10628141, 10632112, 10632128, 10632172, 10632175, 10632231, 10632262, 10632266, 10632270, 10632305, 10632316, 10632326, 10632370, 10632385, 10632399, 10632492, 10632542, 10632765, 10632833, 10632928, 10633197, 10633281, 10633409, 10633421, 10633483, 10633507, 10637752, 10637804, 10637950, 10637975, 10638032, 10638289, 10638290, 10638401, 10638968, 10639218, 10639623, 10641157, 10641603, 10641614, 10641836, 10644339, 10644705, 10649713, 10649895, 10649932, 10650313, 10652590, 10653147, 10653783, 10654533, 10655226, 10658900, 10659679, 10660320, 10662588, 10662645, 10662662, 10663473, 10667056, 10667437, 10668081, 10668094, 10668131, 10668612, 10668969, 10668970, 10669584, 10669678, 10669729, 10669775, 10669866, 10669895, 10669992, 10670422, 10670506, 10676348, 10676732, 10677120, 10679795, 10679934, 10680057, 10680290, 10680342, 10680714, 10681512, 10682584, 10682906, 10683022, 10683114, 10683549, 10683620, 10683697, 10683743, 10689898, 10690761, 10691284, 10691556, 10691751, 10693061, 10694300
