Other Fuel System Pump problems of the 2011 Chrysler Town & Country - part 1

2011 Chrysler town and country with 114,212 miles. While parked, the car acts and sounds like it wants to, but will not start. Took it to the dealership and was diagnosed with a bad tipm (totally integrated power module) and fuel pump relay. This is a known issue and the same issue in recall p54/NHTSA 14v-530 for the durango and grand cherokee lawsuit settlement but for some reason the town and country and other Chryslers petitions were denied. After talking to Chrysler, they only suggested that I keep my receipts in case it was accepted as a recall but would not give any financial help on a $1400 repair bill.

Vehicle is experiencing intermittent dead batteries and no start issues. Had vehicle shut down while driving as well to fuel pump shutting down. After diagnostic found the fuel pump was staying on after key was removed killing the battery. This is an issue with a bad tipm module that had been under a recall on the previous years town and country. Called the dealer today ans was told on there were no open recalls on my specific VIN.

Fuel pump relay is stuck resulting in continuous pump running causing dead battery overnight and vehicle not starting.

My car has been out of commission for about 2 months off and on. The auto shop that I send it to has replaced the fuel pump 4 times before zeroing in on the problem which apparently is the tipum, an electronic piece. After doing research on the internet, there is a recall on this piece for issues involving the fuel pump stoping operation while the vehicle is running. This recall does not effect my car, but this exact problem is affecting my car. I'm wondering what's going on there and if there have been other reports of this. Thanks for your time, leonard dalton leonarddalton@outlook. Com (928) 699 8119.

Van began having trouble starting up at around 100,000 miles. The issue was intermittent until a week ago. While the vehicle was stationary, the vehicle wouldn't crank. The fuel pump will not engage and start the vehicle. My battery is good and when we bypassed the tipm, the vehicle cranks properly. This is an indication that the tipm is faulty. After researching this issue, it seems that it's a known problem for many Dodge/Chrysler/Jeep models in 2011. This a definite hazard because the fuel pump continues to run even while everything is turned off.

Tipm failure, faulty fuel pump relay. Car cranks but will not start. Fuel pump replaced and same issue occurs.

Van battery is dead every morning. Fuel pump countinously runs even after van is turned off. Sometimes stales while driving. Very dangerous especially with our children in the van.

Vehicle cranks, starter sometimes stays engaged for extended period of time, but fails to start due to fuel pump relay failure in total integrated power module ( tipm/fusebox). Sometimes will start, run, then die. After multiple attempts, will finally start, stay running. Known issue across multiple fca models and years. Can progress to failure while going down the road. Repair cost ~$1000. I view this as a safety issue worthy of a vehicle safety recall and find it reprehensible that despite all of reports regarding failure, no recall has been issued.

This vehicle quit while driving but was able to restart and drive to a parking spot and now wont restart do to failed (tipm) thoroughly integrated power module failure to supply power to fuel pump . After further investigation & diagnosis many similar Chrysler products have same issues , or recalls this needs to be a safety issue recall?.

The tipm on my vehicle has gone bad and the fuel pump is not working properly, wont start, etc. All the tipm problems you read about in the other complaints. This vehicle has a 3. 6l engine, the same engine that the 2011 Dodge durango has that has had a recall to repair this tipm problem. It makes no sense that this 2011 chrylser town and country would not have a recall as well. Explain that to me!.

Fuel pump relay prematurely fails inside the total integrated power module (tipm) causing loss of control while driving. The fuel relay fuse is not replaceable as it is hard wired inside the tipm. The entire tipm unnecessarily needs replaced at great expense and labor of nearly $1,800 for what should be an inexpensive fuse. Other Chrysler/ Dodge/ Jeep vehicles have been recalled and repaired for the same issue, but not the Chrysler Town & Country minivans. The manufacturer and its dealerships is avoiding a recall so that this model �ages out� and permanently disposed so that it doesn't have to do a recall.

Faulty fuel pump relay the vehicle will shut off while driving and it will stay on while key is off and kill battery.

Fuel pump relay gave out and unlike the durango and grand cherokee it's not on recall it's also 1000 dollar part that they know is bad, it stopped working for me on the highway had to coast to the icy shoulder and slipped into the ditch almost flipped because since the engine wasn't on neither was the power steering.

"taka ta recall* my car sometimes jerks while driving or will cut off on me at any point I changed the spark plugs, the alternator, the thermostat because its was giving me a code that my thermostat was bad and also the fuel pump after changing all these things the car would stall and not cut on until I get someone to jump start my battery. So I then went and replaced the battery the car was working for a good couple of days and started back acting up. Took it to a shop and they said rhe fuel pump was still on while the car was off due to a relay in the power module so they said they will be able to just fix it but when trying to order the piece they said that was not possible due to its been a recall on the till which is the totally integrated power module but just not on my vehicle and it's not possible to change the relay because they have it attached to the power module and this is something that happen with the maufacuter so you will have to contact them so they can help you with it. But now I'm afraid to drive it because it keeps and sometimes just caught right off anywhere due to the totally integrated power module.

On Friday morning, my wife went to start the van but none of the lights turned on. After checking the voltage of the battery, we found that it was completely drained. The night before, she heard a humming noise coming from the rear of the vehicle after the van was off. We were able to jump the van to get it started. Once it started, it ran great. The next day, we tried to start it again but this time the engine struggled to start. It took a couple of tries before we got it started. Jumping the engine did not have positive results. We decided to take it to our auto mechanic and he diagnosed a faulty fuel pump relay. He found that faulty fuel relays are very common in 2011-2013 vehicles, but Jeep grand cherokee and Dodge durangos were the only vehicles recalled and fitted with an external relay. I am submitting this complaint in hopes of issuing a recall for all vehicles affected, more specifically, the 2011 Chrysler town and country. Below is a link to a website designed specifically for this issue. . Read more...

Van was having a hard time starting. Then one night I heard a humming noise when the car was off. Didn't know what it was. The next morning battery was at 0%. Charged the battery and got it to start. When starting we have to turn it to the on then off position a few times before I could get it to work. When I hear the humming of the fuel pump that is running when the key is out, I can put key in and turn it to on and off a few times and get it to stop. My shop said the tipm needed to be replaced. It is recalled on other vehicles but not our van. It was supposed to cost $710 to fix but the part number has now been superseded with the fixed and the now will cost $950 to fix. We should be paying for repairs for this when the same part has been recalled for other vehicles! I'm worried that the fuel pump relay will end up wearing out the fuel pump too which would cost another $600 to repair. I hope the company will do the right thing and fix this broken part for all vehicles they used it in!.

Tl the contact owns a 2011 Chrysler town and country. While driving 40 mph, the vehicle stalled and the etc warning indicator illuminated. The contact attempted to restart the vehicle approximately four times, but was unsuccessful. The vehicle was towed by aaa to autonation Chrysler Dodge Jeep ram houston (1515 south loop west, houston, TX 77054, 713-489-7825) where it was diagnosed that the fuel pump relay failed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 217,000.

The power shuts off or the car won't start after the key is taken out. I was told by the mechanic I went to that something with the spark plugs was firing incorrectly so I had that replaced. I also had my auto start removed because I was told that was affecting the battery and finally I was told the fuel pump was constantly running which was draining my battery. I was told to pull the fuse for the fuel pump until I can have the part replaced, which is tedious and that still don't work all the time. It is my understanding that the part has been on back order since December. At this point I am very frustrated and I don't feel safe driving this car until the issue is resolved. The blind spot lights also remain on.

Car would not start when parked in the driveway, had it towed to mechanic. They first said that the fuel pump needed replaced, then after replacing this part, they stated that the totally integrated power module also needed replaced. After 5 days without our vehicle and paying thousands of dollars, we are furious. I have been reviewing this problem with this vehicle and it appears to be a problem for many, many people, but nothing is being done by Chrysler. This is the exact issue as part of "safety recall r09 / NHTSA 15v-115 fuel pump relay". The town and country was excluded from this recall despite using the exact same part and having the exact same issues.

Fuel pump remains running after ignition switch is turned off. This situation has been recalled in other Chrysler models and should be applied to the Town & Country. Any time you cannot shut the fuel pump off you have a very hazardous condition. This incident first took place 10/01/2018 and has continued to do so ever since. This condition applies to the tipm, Chrysler dealer wants $ 1200. 00 to fix.

Fuel pump will not shut off, runs continually until battery dies. The vehicle is parked and turned off however the fuel pump continues to run.

Car will not start, will not stay started, or shuts off while driving. Or. . . The fuel pump will stick "on" while the car is off. This is due to the faulty integrated relays in the totally integrated power module failing. This is the exact issue as part of "safety recall r09 / NHTSA 15v-115 fuel pump relay". The town and country was excluded from this recall despite using the exact same part and having the exact same issues. I would like to have the proper parts put into my car for safety reasons. The dealer wants to put the faulty parts back into the car after charging me a lot of money to fix this obvious safety issue that should have been recalled with the others.

Our Chrysler town and country started dying while going down the road, not starting at times, and causing a wide array of concerns including seat belt lights coming and going, air bag lights coming and going, fuel pump staying engaged after shutting off. This can happen at any random time. It was determined to be another fault tipm module in the vehicle, something that has been replaced before even.

Faulty fuel pump wiring system the tipm is no longer allowing the engine to realize their is fuel. It is not the fuel pump. There are so many websites that offer the service to re-manufacturer the tipm because of the ongoing issues. Why is their not a recall?.

Fuel pump relay not operating properly. Used to not operate fuel pump upon first start up. Now fuel pump will not shut off even with key out of ignition. Sounds like tipm issue. Constantly running fuel pump is very dangerous situation.

Car stalled while driving 40 mph,and will not start,tipm is defective,the internal fuel pump relay has failed,the vehicle is a 2011 Chrysler town and country with 59000 miles.

At first starting the van was intermittent you would have to wait till you heard the fuel pump turn on in order to start the vehicle because the fuel relay on the tipm board is going bad. Once you heard the fuel pump come on the van would start but there are times where the starter stays engaged and wants to keep trying to start when the van is running. Last weekend I was on the highway with my five year old daughter and the fuel pump shut off while driving( in motion), speed limit of 70,. I lost control of the steering, the van decelerated very quickly in heavy amount of traffic, I was nearly in a multi-car accident. When the van is shut off I am not sure the air bags will work if I had been involved in an accident. I have to unplug the fuse to the fuel pump every time I get out of the vehicle because the fuel pump keeps running draining my battery. I had to pay $200. 00 to replace my battery. This has been a problem with Dodge and Chrysler for 10 years they know about it but it will take someone dying in order for them to recall all vehicles affected. I am afraid to drive my van because I feel in this current state it is unsafe because it has shut down because of the fuel relay on the tipm board.

My 2011 Chrysler Town & Country quit while driving on hensil rd port orange, FL. Lost power steering and power brakes. Was able to pull to side of road. Found problem is fuel pump relay in the tipm is insufficient to carry the load. A recall was issued for 2011 durango and Jeep grand cherokee, but not 2011 Dodge caravan or Chrysler t&c for the same problem.

Summary: I believe that the tipm fuel pump relay is causing the issues. It has left the fuel pump on when the engine and power was off with the key out of the vehicle. It has many time cranked without starting, while stationary with the engine cold and also while hot. This morning it shut off while driving my kids to school it shutoff the engine while driving down the highway followed by cranking it was restarted. It failed to start after coming out of the school. I have seen that crysler recalled this part on durangos with the same engine and model year.

The fuel pump relay inside the tipm (fuse box circuit board fuel pump relay) the vehicle would not start sometimes and died a few times out driving it out on the highway. I bought a new relay and had it solder in to my tipm and it works great now then a engine light came on and it say's it's not communication with my pcm then it's working again. Vehicle runs great now and starting. I hear Chrysler 2011 town and country vans are having a lot of problems with the same issues but no recalls on the tipm box modules.

Van would not start, only crank and crank. Towed to repair shop and fuel pump was replaced. Next day van had starting problems again. Van was taken back to repair shop. Mechanic was unable to solve problem so van was towed to a Chrysler dealership. The Chrysler dealership was also unable to solve problem and van was returned back to me. Again the van would not start, I tried the tipm bypass idea found online. The van has ran ok since, only having troubles when very cold. The van only has 87000 miles and a very well maintained history. I am scared this van will fail and seriously hurt someone. The cost for a new tipm is very expensive and I don't know if this will even fix the problem. I have already spent $900 on a new fuel pump and have the same problems. Please help.

(redo - no intials; no tl; no failure mileage; some sentences are incomplete; typos; no dealer or manuf info) the fuel pump relay failed. The fuel pump relay is much smaller than the industry average, and the contacts overheated. The relay randomly failed multiple times while driving. The problem was intermittent, and the vehicle was functioning normally by the time it made it to a service facility for testing/repair. The relay on this particular design is integrated into the fuse box, which Chrysler calls a totally integrated power module, or tipm. The design makes it prone to failure because of the size of the relay (too small for this application) as evidenced by the recall for jeeps that use the same wiring.

The contact owns a 2011 Chrysler town and country. While driving at any speed, the vehicle slowed down and gradually accelerated. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and referred the contact to the dealer (cornerstone Chrysler Jeep Dodge, elk river, mn, 763-441-2300) for diagnostic testing. The technician diagnosed that the fuel pump relay was faulty and was not under recall. The failure recurred and the vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 114,000.

Ever since we got the car, it has had problems. We knew that it was a used car but didn't expect all the problems. The check engine light turns on all the time and the radio stops working. Currently we are having problems with the fuel pump. We were told that that was the problem and there was a recall on the 2012 & 2013 grand cherokee relay pump. Also the radio seems to be failing again. We were wondering if you could check that and more since there seems to be more people with the same problems as us.

When the vehicle is turned off, the fuel pump continues to run and will not shut off. The problem is a faulty tipm - totally integrated power module.
