Starter problems of the 2014 Chrysler Town & Country

My van started experiencing times when it would not start. At first I thought it was the starter and then after a few minutes of trying it would start. It was not the starter. This went on for several weeks and then I noticed that if the door was open it would start, then if I jiggled the wires in the door it would start. After a awhile that wouldn't make it start. I had to have it towed and the key was left in the ignition and as the tow truck driver was getting ready to put the vehicle on the truck he slammed the door and it started!! we thought it might be the wiring harness in the door so we removed it and it worked perfectly while it was out. We then replaced the wiring with oem parts and then the problem started happening again. It was intermittent and would always start if you slammed the door until 2 days ago and now it won't start at all. The repair shop says it is throwing 40 codes and that it needs a new tipm just to see what is wrong with it. It costs well over $1000!!! and it may not fix it. I know that Chrysler has had recalls for the tipm in the past and quite obviously they have not fixed the problem!.

1. Van is randomly not starting 3-5 times per week. Replaced battery issue of not starting still remained. Using a jump starter battery pack to start vehicle--starts right up after few minutes of it being connected. Took it to owego, NY royal Chrysler was given no diagnosis. 4 days later, took to local mechanic told my tipm was bad and needed to be replaced. My husband bought a used tipm off ebay and replaced it on 8/7/19 so far no more issues with it not starting. 2. Digital message randomly appears 1-2 times per month since may 22 manually operate liftgate. Took to Chrysler owego royal told my latch system is rusted out. My husband climbed into the trunk once I got home with this report---sees no signs of rust. Disconnected switch then reconnected it--solved problem for 2 1/2 months. Message just came on again on 8/21 my husband did same thing disconnect then reconnect working fine now. Royal Chrysler wanted $1600 to repair actuator. 3. Service blind spot system now appears on digital message as of may 22 same day liftgate message came on. This message has not gone off since. Took to Chrysler wanted $546. 00 to repair choose not to repair too expensive. Husband looking to buy parts to repair himself on ebay. Contacted Chrysler go no where told parts not under recall or warranty.

Huge safety issue. I had a horrible experience this past Saturday. Had my arms full; grandchild, 2 diaper bags, purse, keys. Van was locked. Started van with auto starter. Opened both back doors of t and c with key faub. Set bags in back. Put key on front seat. Put baby in car seat. Closed door with button on van. Went to get in car and car was still locked. Thank god I started the car. It was 89 degrees out. Son had to drive to my house and get spare key. Car shut off, (runs for 15 minutes when started with the car starter), before my son got back, baby was inside. Thank god my son came 30 seconds later. This is a feature that needs to be changed. I still can't shake the feeling that I almost caused irreversible harm to my grandson. Front doors should unlock when you open the back doors. I take ownership for my mistake. Please make Chrysler take ownership for your design flaw.
