NHTSA ODI 10915042

THE LOW TIRE INDICATOR LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON. WE'VE HAD TIRES CHECKED AT SEARS ,WHERE WE BOUGHT NEW TIRES ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO. TOTAL MILES ON VEHICLE IS 47,168., SO THESE TIRES ONLY HAVE @ 20,00. MILES ON THEM. SOMETIMES THE LIGHT JUST STAYS ON, RECENTLY WAS FLASHING. SOMEONE SAID IT COULD BE THE ELECTRONIC GUAGE SYSTEMS BATTERY. IT COMES ON SHORTLY AFTER STARTING THE VAN. WE JUST MOSTLY USE ON CITY STREETS THAT ARE PAVED. A LITTLE DRIVING ON HIGHWAYS.

BOUGHT THE VAN IN 2011 AND SINCE THEN, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO HAVING PROBLEMS STARTING IN 2014. I PRESSED THE START BUTTON, BUT THE ENGINE WOULD NOT TURN OVER. AFTER SEVERAL HUNDRED TRIES, IT WOULD START. THIS HAPPENED 20 TIMES SINCE THEN AND THE DEALER DOES NOT KNOW WHY. TODAY, 4 OCT 16, THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START AT ALL. I'M A DEPLOYED SERVICE MEMBER AND MY WIFE AND THREE CHILDREN USE THIS VAN. THE FAULTY IGNITION SYSTEM WILL LEAVE MY FAMILY STRANDED. I RESEARCHED THIS AND THERE IS A RECALL FOR OTHER MODELS WITH THE SAME TIPM SYSTEM, HOWEVER, THERE IS NOT ONE FOR THE TOWN AND COUNTRY. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF OWNERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. PLEASE HAVE CHRYSLER ADMIT THERE IS A FAULTY TIPM AND THAT THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED.

OUR VAN HAS DIED MULTIPLE TIMES, LEAVING US STRANDED IN MULTIPLE PLACES. FINALLY WE GAVE IT TO OUR MECHANIC TWO WEEKS AGO AND SAID, "KEEP IT UNTIL YOU CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT'S GOING ON." THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR TWO DAYS SHY OF A FULL MONTH, IN AND OUT OF THE SHOP, SO IT HAS DEFINITELY BEEN A PAIN (NOT TO MENTION THE MONEY FOR TOWS, "FIXES" THAT DIDN'T FIX IT, TROUBLESHOOTING, ETC.) NOW THAT THEY HAVE FINALLY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A DEFECTIVE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE, I TYPE IT INTO GOOGLE AND AM NOT EVEN SURPRISED THIS IS SOMETHING CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRIES ARE KNOWN FOR.

I BELIEVE MY ISSUES STARTED WHEN MY BATTERY WAS DEAD AFTER BEING SHUT OFF UPON MY ARRIVAL TO WORK, WITHIN 3 1/2 HOURS. BATTERY WAS CHARGED AND STARTED AND MADE IT HOME. 3 DAYS LATER, WITHOUT ANY NOTIFICATION OF AN ISSUE THROUGH THE ONBOARD COMPUTER NOTIFICATION SYSTEM, VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. TRIES TO TURN OVER, AND DID START AFTER A LOT OF DIFFERENT EFFORTS ABOUT 7-8 TIMES(BY FULLY DEPRESSING GAS PEDAL WHEN IT WOULD TURN OVER TO START AND MAINTAIN RPMS 3-4000 FOR A MINIMUM OF 5-10 SECONDS) AND NOW WILL NOT START AT ALL. AFTER LAST ATTEMPTS TO START, AND VEHICLE NOT RUNNING, YOU CAN STILL HEAR THE FUEL PUMP OPERATING AND SMELL OF GASOLINE. BATTERY DRAIN WAS NOTICED WITH 24 HOURS, AND DEAD WITH IN 2 DAYS. WHEN VEHICLE HAD STARTED AND ABLE TO DRIVE A SHORT DISTANCE, IT WOULD SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING, OR SHUT OFF UPON STOPPING FOR A SIGN OR RED LIGHT. THIS IS DANGEROUS SITUATION, AS I AM TRYING TO TAKE MY 4 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER AND TEEN AGE SON TO SCHOOL WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I HAVE BEEN WITHOUT A VEHICLE FOR OVER A MONTH NOW, AS THIS STARTED 8/18/2016. HAVE LOST WORK TIME AND PUT MY JOB IN JEOPARDY, AS I AM IN SALES AND NEED MY TRANSPORTATION. I DO NOT HAVE THE TIME TO BE RUNNING BACK AND FORTH TO DEALERS TO ONLY FIND OUT THEY KNOW NOTHING TO FIX THIS RECURRING PROBLEM WITH THEIR CHRYSLER VEHICLES, NOR THE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO SPEND ON THEM TRYING TO "GUESS" AT WHAT THE ISSUE IS. VEHICLES SHOULD BE FIXED IF CHRYSLER ACTUALLY KNOWS WHAT WILL FIX IT, OR BUYOUT THE VEHICLE PLUS 5+% SO PEOPLE CAN REPLACE THIS AWFUL VEHICLE. IN THE MEANTIME, GM FINANCIAL STILL EXPECTS MONTHLY PAYMENT ON A VEHICLE THAT IS WORTHLESS.

FAULTY TIPM LED TO FUEL PUMP TO NOT ENGAGE AND CAR WOULD NOT START. HAD TO HAVE TIPM REPLACED AT COST OF $1,341.15. AT THE TIME THE CAR WOULD NOT START IT WAS IN THE DRIVEWAY HOWEVER WE HAD PREVIOUSLY HAD IT SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET.

NHTSA ODI 10908715

VEHICLES WAS PARKED IN DRIVEWAY WENT TO START VEHICLE AND IT WILL NOT START, VEHICLE WILL TURN OVER AND ACT LIKE IT,IS NOT GETTING FUEL. IF VEHICLE SITS FOR SOME TIME EVENTUALLY IT WILL START 3-4 TIMES AND THEN ISSUE WILL OCCUR AGAIN. VEHICLE STARTED WITH NO PROBLEM THE PREVIOUS DAY, PROBLEM OCCURRED WITHOUT ANY WARNING, NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DISPLAYED ON DASH. WHEN VEHICLE IS OFF FUEL PUMP CAN BE HEARD STILL RUNNING WITH IGNITION OFF AND BATTERY HAS TO BE DISCONNECTED IN ORDER TO STOP FUEL PUMP FROM RUNNING AND NOT DRAIN BATTERY. BATTERY IS BRAND NEW, FUSES HAVE BEEN CHECKED AND ARE IN GOOD CONDITION. IN RESEARCHING ONLINE I HAVE FOUND OTHERS TO HAVE THE SAME ISSUE BUT HAVE NOT SEEN ANY RECALL. WAS ABLE TO FIIND POSSIBLE TEMPORARY FIX BY USING A FUEL PUMP RELAY BYPASS BUT HAVE NOT TRIED THIS OPTION.. I HAVE CALLED AND SPOKEN TO BE CHRYSLER SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT IT HERE IS NO RECALL AND ALL I CAN DO IS HAVE CAR TOWED TO THEM AND LET THEM CHECK IT OUT. I WOULD THINK WITH RECALL THEY HAVE DONE ON JEEP AND DODGE PROTECTS THERE WOULD BE SOMETHING THEY CAN TELL. SAME ISSUE HAS OCCURRED WITH THE DODGE CARAVAN WHICH IS BASICALLY THE CHRYSLER TOWN N COUNTRY. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!

I JUST STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. I CAN HEAR ELECTRICAL CRACKLING NOISES WHILE THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING, I HAVE ALSO SMELLED OVERHEATING ELECTRICAL WIRES. FOR MONTHS THE TIRE PRESSURE INDICATOR KEEPS FLASHING THAT I HAVE A LOW TIRE: YET EVERY TIME I HAVE THE TIRE PRESSURE CHECK, THE AIR PRESSURE IS THE SAME IN EACH TIRE. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER TWICE FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG: THIS OCCURS IN BOTH STATIONARY AND MOTION. YESTERDAY WHILE DRIVING MY GRANDSON TO SCHOOL, THE DASH LIGHTS AND NAVIGATION SYSTEM WENT COMPLETELY BLACK FOR NO KNOWN REASON, VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. I ACCIDENTLY DISCOVERED THAT IF I QUICKLY TURN THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ON AND THEN OFF THE DASH AND NAVIGATION LIGHTS COME ON. VEHICLE ONLY HAS 37,000 MILES AND I FEEL THIS IS THE BEGINNING OF OF SOME MAJOR SAFETY ISSUES IN THE FUTURE AND THE WARRANTY IS EXPIRED. I HAVE HAD THE REAR STOW AND GO SEAT REPLACED BECAUSE THE SEAT WOULD NOT GO INTO THE STANDARD POSITION, NOR WOULD IT GO INTO THE STOWED POSITION. THE SEAT WOULD JUST GO UP AND DOWN AT WILL. FINALLY AFTER CALLING CHRYSLER AND 3 TRIPS TO THE DEALER, THEY REPLACED THE ENTIRE SEAT. BUT IT STILL ACTS UP OCASSIONALY. AT THIS POINT, I HAVE NOT BEEN OUT ANY MONEY FOR REPAIRS BUT I AM BEGINNING TO FEAR DRIVING THE VEHICLE. I NEVER KNOW IF THE LIGHTS ARE GOING TO SUDDENLY DECIDE TO GO DARK WITH DRIVING AT NIGHT, OR IF THE REAR SEATS ARE GOING TO START GOING UP AND DOWN.

THE VEHICLE AT TIMES WILL NOT START. YOU PUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION AND TURN TO START AND GET NOTHING. IT IS NOT A BATTERY PROBLEM. IF THE CAR SITS, IT WILL EVENTUALLY START. SOMETIMES SITTING 5 MINS WORKS, OTHER TIMES ABOUT AN HOUR. WE HAVE TRIED REPLACING THE BATTERY, STARTER AND CHRYSLER RECOMMENDED A SOFTWARE UPDATE BUT IT STILL HAPPENS. WE WILL HAVE IT TOWED TO DEALERSHIP BUT BY THE TIME IT GETS THERE, IT STARTS. IT DID DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM ONCE AT DEALER BUT THEY HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE IT. PREVIOUS CHRYSLER MODELS HAVE HAD RECALLS ON IGNITION BUT THEY STATE THIS YEAR DOES NOT. THEY HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO DIAGNOSIS PROBLEM BUT HAVE SEEN PROBLEM DOES OCCUR. USUALLY HAPPENS AFTER DRIVING THE CAR ON ERRANDS AND THEN TRYING TO START AFTER SITTING FOR ABOUT AN HOUR. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR MONTHS AND STILL CAN'T DIAGNOSIS IT.

SINCE BUYING VAN IN 2011, WINDSHIELD WIPERS TURN ON INTERMITTENTLY WHEN THERE IS NO RAIN IN SIGHT. JUNE 2015 BOUGHT A NEW BATTERY AFTER I WAS UNABLE TO START THE CAR. SEEMED TO FIX ISSUE. APRIL 2016 AS I WAS DRIVING THROUGH NEIGHBORHOOD GOING 25 MPH CAR STALLED. WENT TO THE DEALER AFTER RESEARCHING STALLING ISSUE (MOST POSTS INDICATED A TIPM ISSUE) BUT DEALER DIDN'T SEEM TO KNOW WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT NOR DID THEY CARE. WITHIN THE LAST MONTH THE CAR HAS NOT STARTED A HANDFUL OF TIMES. BATTERY WAS RETESTED AND IT WAS FINE. TWO DAYS AGO I WENT OUT OF TOWN AND WHEN I TRIED TO START CAR IT WOULD NOT START (IT FLASHED LIGHTS AND BLINKERS WENT OFF). TRIED STARTING IT REMOTELY WITH KEY AND THAT MADE THE ALARM GO OFF FOR SEVERAL MINUTES. ENDED UP HAVING TO TURN OFF RADIO AND A/C BEFORE VAN DECIDED TO START. I HAVE 3 KIDS TO TOW AROUND AND NO LONGER FEEL SAFE IN MY CAR!

7/21/2016 CAR STARTED FINE THIS MORNING WENT INTO STORE AND WOULD NOT START. TRIED TURNING KEY ABOUT 8 TIMES AND THEN GAVE UP FOR A MINUTE OR TWO. I TRIED AGAIN AND IT STARTED. THIS HAPPENED ABOUT 1 MONTH BEFORE WHILE IN MY DRIVEWAY. SAME THING, I TRIED ABOUT 8 / 9 TIMES THEN IT STARTED. I DECIDED TO CALL DEALERSHIP TODAY AND HAVE IT TAKEN IN SINCE I HAVE A EXTENDED WARRANTY. I ALSO, DID SOME RESEARCH WHERE A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE SAYING THAT IT IS THE TIPM. I NOW NOTICED SOME OF THE OTHER PROBLEMS I HAVE HAD WITH IT TIE INTO TIPM, MY DRIVER WINDOW SOMETIMES WONT GO UP OR DOWN. THE CAR WILL JUST LOCK EVEN WHILE RUNNING LOCKING MY KEYS INSIDE. I CAN HEAR ELECTRICAL THINGS MOVING AND SHUTTING DOWN AFTER THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF, AND ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO I WAS IN PARK WITH THE CAR RUNNING AND I HEARD A LOUD POP AND THE WHOLE CAR SHUT DOWN. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ALSO COMES ON AND TURNS OFF WHENEVER IT FEELS LIKE IT FOR NO APPARENT REASON,I HAVE 71,000 MILES. WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR I HAD TO HAVE THE LEFT HEAD GASKET REPLACED AFTER HAVING IT TOWED FROM THE IDE OF THE ROAD. I REALLY THINK I BOUGHT A LEMON, BUT WILL SOON FIND OUT WHAT THE DEALERSHIP SAYS TUESDAY WHICH IS THE SOONEST THEY CAN GET ME IN, HOPEFULLY I DON'T BREAK DOWN WITH MY KIDS IN IT BEFORE THEN

BLIND SPOT INDICATOR HAS STOPPED FUNCTIONING AROUND 45,500 MILES. THE CLUSTER PERIODICALLY CHIMES THAT THE BLIND SPOT INDICATOR SYSTEM IS NOT AVAILABLE AND THE INDICATOR LIGHTS REMAIN LIT. SO A SAFETY FEATURE HAS BECOME A DISTRACTION AND NOW IS A SAFETY RISK. I CALLED THE DEALER TO INQUIRE IF THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND WAS TOLD TO CALL CHRYSLER SINCE THIS FAILURE IS "HAPPENING LEFT AND RIGHT." HE ADVISED ME THE REPAIR IS ROUGHLY $2,800. FAILURE OCCURRED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS 28 MONTHS OLD. AND WAS SURPRISED IT HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED YET. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER.
