2011 Dodge Caravan

THE TIPM MODULE WAS FAULTY, CAUSING THE FUEL PUMP TO EITHER NOT ENGAGE WHEN TRYING TO START THE VEHICLE, OR CUT OUT WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, OTHER TIMES THE FUEL PUMP WOULD REMAIN ON AFTER TURNING OFF THE VEHICLE...PUMPING GASOLINE FUMES INTO OUR GARAGE FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME. DODGE REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS WAS A TIPM FAILURE AND INSTEAD TRIED TO CONVINCE ME TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP MULTIPLE TIMES...WE DID REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP ONCE WHICH HAD NOT AFFECT ON THIS ISSUE.

FOR THE PAST SEVERAL WEEKS WE HAVE HAD INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS STARTING OUR VAN. IT WILL OCCASIONALLY DO NOTHING WHEN THE KEY IS TURNED, IT WILL ALSO JUST TURN OVER WITHOUT STARTING. THE SECOND PROBLEM SEEMED TO BE GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE- MEANING THAT IT WOULD TAKE MORE ATTEMPTS TO CRANK IT. THIS PAST WEEKEND IT WOULD NOT CRANK AFTER MANY ATTEMPTS. AFTER TROUBLESHOOTING MOST OF THE DAY I REALIZED THAT THE FUEL PUMP SEEMED TO BE WORKING ONLY EVERY NOW AND THEN. I FOUND A WEBSITE THAT INSTRUCTED HOW TO MAKE A TESTER TO DETERMINE IF IT WAS A FUEL PUMP RELAY ISSUE ON THE TIPM. SURE ENOUGH WE WERE ABLE TO DETERMINE THAT THE RELAY WAS THE ISSUE. IT CERTAINLY SEEMS THAT I AM ONE AMONG MANY PEOPLE THAT ARE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE TIPM. I HOPE THAT THEY RECOGNIZE THE SEVERITY OF THE PROBLEM AND RESOLVE IT SWIFTLY.

VEHICLE STARTED EXHIBITING PROBLEMS IN 2013. IT WOULD NOT START AT RANDOM TIMES FOR NO REASON. TOWED TO DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY DIAGNOSED IT AS A BATTERY PROBLEM AND THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED. THE PROBLEM PERSISTED AND WE RECEIVED REPLACEMENT BATTERY FORM THE DEALERSHIP. THE CAR WAS IT SET WARRANTY AT THE TIME. NOW, 2015 THE ISSUES HAS AGGRAVATED. THE CAR WILL START EARLY IN THE MORNING BUT ONCE TURNED OFF WILL NOT RESTART FOR HOURS AT A TIME. ELECTRICAL IS ALL WORKING BUT CAR JUST WON'T START. BATTERY HAS BEEN CHECKED IT IS FUNCTIONAL AND WORKING. WE HAVE EXPIRED OUR WARRANTY AND DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO REPAIR WHATEVER THE PROBLEM IS.

IT HAS BEEN ABOUT 2 YEARS WHEN I CONTACTED THE CAR DEALER WITH THE NOTICE YOU SENT ME. ALL THEY DID WAS DISCONNECTED THE REAR WINDOWS BUT NEVER CONNECTED THEM BACK. STILL NOW THEY ARE DISCONNECTED. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THEY WHERE GOING TO CALL ME AS SOON AS THE PARTS CAME IN IT IS AUGUST 25, 2015 AND STILL NO ANSWER FROM THEM. THE LAST TIME I CALLED THEM WAS IN JANUARY LEFT A MESSAGES BUT GOT NO RETURN CALL. WHAT CAN I DO SINCE IT IS AUGUST AND THE REAR WINDOWS ARE STILL DISCONNECTED. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO USE THEM. THEY DO NOT WORK. I DON'T THINK THAT THEY ARE STILL WAITING FOR THE PARTS. THEY ORDERED THEM BUT NEVER INSTALLED THEM IN MY VEHICLE.
