Other Fuel System Pump Problems of Chrysler Town & Country - part 1

The van dies on me while driving. Not in idle, only while diving. The shop replaced alternator (I took in old alternator to get tested, all good). Van sill dies, shop thinks it's fuel pump. Been doing this over a month, thought it might be egr related but I've been told 2013 does not have egr. Please advise. It's not safe.

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.

Fuel pump keeps running after key is removed. Van won't start no fuel. Iratic engine keeps trying to start with key released. Not a constant 3 or 4 times a week. Stationary.

The fuel pump relay is faulty. We have had issues with the vehicle stalling out while driving. Once almost causing an accident. My mechanic said this is an issue with this vehicle. This is the same set up as the Jeep grand cherokee and there was a recall issued for that. We took the vehicle to a mechanic and the parts to replace the relay are not available. We do not feel safe to drive the vehicle any more. I believe there should be a recall issued for the safety of owners. My wife was pulling out into traffic when the van completely stalled out while oncoming traffic was approaching. Luckily, she was able to manuver into a turn lane to avoid a collision. We've also had numerous times that it would glitch out while driving but not stall.

The vehicle does not consistently start and has a chance of failure when in operation. I have the vehicle in a shop and it has been diagnosed as a fuel pump relay that is not consistently receiving power. This has been a well known issue within the tipm system but no recalls are open on this specific vehicle.

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 van is not starting right away as it usually does. Had I been on the road would have caused a accident. The throttle light is on at the start, first it was the oil light. Had some mechanics say fuel pump but then read it is a fuse issue with the throttle.

Fuel pump relay inside the tipm failed, causing car to stall while in motion with loss of power steering and power brakes. If this happened at highway speeds it could result in a crash. This is a common issue and other Dodge/Chrysler vehicles have been recalled for similar failures in 2011 models. Suggested internet fixes involve bypassing the fuel pump relay with a jumper that could result in fire.

In starting van, engine was turning over when key turned but not to the point of running. After 5-8 attempts it would crank and also sputtered in between attempts. Car was stationary. This was a sudden onset of symptoms that happened on vacation. Recogniing we had additional days on our trip plus the ride home, I took to local repair shop. In route, it sputtered like it wanted to quit. The diagnosis was fuel pump and fuel pump relay failed pressure test and diagnosis. I then learn by searching that 2011 vans have been recalled for same issues. With a return home interstate trip of 600 miles, I thankful I had repaired now reading what has happened with the 2011 related accidents and problems.

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.

2012 Chrysler town and country purchased second hand at 84. 000 miles vehicle started then following at 86,000 miles. Lights sensor would activate lights without input from remote or driver. Then the lights stopped sensing when to change and has to be activated in manual. Vehicle windows would not remain up and locked when manually inputted to do so or activated to do so with remote. Interior lights would randomly switch on and run the battery dead. This resulted in many jumpstarts. Vehicle began to use fuel like 30. 00 weekly with normal driving of my family to 30. 00 every two to three days with no charge in driving. This increased when the family needs to drive increased to almost 20. 00 daily. Vehicle would not accelerate on an incline would stay at 30 mph despite you pressing the gas and it woul rev. Vehicle would deaccrate and accelerate on its own merit, one could press the gas and it wouldn't increase going up an incline causing any to maneuver around you to avoid collision and the it would accelerate on its own merit. Vehicle lift gate would not remain locked when secured whether by remote or manual. Lift gate also stopped sensing and has almost locked my small disabled a children in between where it closes. Vehicle lights would stop working with sensing in the auto mode. Have to manually use them then internal lights would come in and kill the battery. The signals in the dash had major malfunctions you would get the airbag, check engine and various lights intermittently flashing. The driver side seat would not work as you change a fuse it would blow. The passenger doors would not lock with remote input or manual lock door can open when driving. Rear windows would open on their own merit usually causing animal to get in. The car fuel pump would not stop running until the battery died or the terminal was removed. The screen said display is hot.

Fuel pump won't turn off after turning engine off. Drains battery completely. Tipm is to blame. Read the other comments or look into the lawsuits. This affects all Chrysler vehicles with the pentastar enigne.

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.

When trying to start my van all the dash lights come on but the van will not start and the etc light comes on. There is a clicking sound in the fuse box and the brake lights do not light up when the pedal is pushed. Took it to the mechanic who stated there is a problem with the fuel pump. There is currently a recall on the fuel pump relay for certain Town & Country vans but for some reason does not include this particular one.

For weeks car would not start in the mornings before work or after being parked for several hours. Car battery needed to be boosted/jumped in order to start, after a few weeks of this battery drained, bad battery (had to purchase new battery and told this was the issue. ) even with the new battery car would not want to start after being parked a few hours or overnight, especially in very cold weather. Car cranks but not start until after several tries of turning would start to run then shut off after a minute then would start after a few times of stalling or turning off. Car has stalled and/or refused to start several times with my children in the vehicle leaving us stranded a few times and inconvenient and unsafe for my 4 and 5 year olds, especially my 4 year old who is a type one diabetic. Car has had difficulty accelerating and has stalled on major streets and highways and I have required roadside assistance on three occasions in the last two weeks concerning this issue that I have taken my vehicle to three different mechanics and all say the fuel pump relay and one said possibly the fuel pump or fuel pump relay and there is a history of this issue with this vehicle and there have been recalls in 2012 concerning the same issue and part the fuel pump relay, however there has been no recall for the 2013 town and country yet the Jeep grand cherokee and Dodge ram already offered recalls for the same issue and year. Many people with the 2013 town and country are experiencing the same issue with the fuel pump relay and we should be offered a recall as well for this faulty part which is dangerous because it can cause a vehicle to stop and /or not start at anytime.

I purchased my vehicle in March of 2016 for the purposes of transporting 2 disabled family members. First, check engine light was coming on and stated that the crankshaft sensor we're not working. When I would drive while driving my vehicle would just shut off I feared getting hit by other vehicles. Then the fuel pump relay would stay on after shutting vehicle off until it would drain the battery. After, now my vehicle cranks but doesn't start at all. This is a hazard and dangerous what I am afraid of is that this is a common issue with these vehicles and the issue has not been looked at by the proper department or authority. I also brought this issue to Chrysler where I purchased the vehicle and they said they can not assist with the issue and no recalls have been put in place my vehicle has been parked for 5 months now.

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?.

Car won't start at times, after awhile finally starts, fuel pump will continuously run after car is off. Gets worse with cold weather. It did it a few times after we bought it but we lived in florida and didn't happen again. We moved to tennessee and now its constantly messing up. We replaced the battery and also the electrical body control throttle. Thinking that was it. Later to find out that it maybe the fuel relay. And that Dodge durango and Jeep and another vehicle was recalled for this same issue and yet Chrysler has not recalled the town and country.

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!.

I have been having years of problems with this vehicle. Shortly after purching it in 2015, the climate control unit started (and continues) to turn on randomly whenever it wants to, the a/c stopped working completely, and the blind spot sensors are on 100% of the time. More recently, the vehicle kept having to get jump started every morning for about 2 weeks until finally it wouldn't turn over at all. I have replaced the battery 3 times, the alternator twice (the first time after the vehicle stalling out on a major highway a long way from home), the fuel pump was just replaced, and then I find out from the garage that changed the fuel pump that the tipm needs to be replaced. I am now currently waiting for a new tipm from the dealership. I have been without a vehicle for 3 weeks now as this part is on back order. This vehicle has cost me thousands of dollars in the short time I have owned it and has been very unreliable for me and my family, including 3 children.

All sorts of electrical issues. Passenger side rear door slides open randomly when starting car or unlocking doors. Tailgate opens randomly the same way. Tailgate has opened when car was put in reverse to back up. Passenger rear door no longer locks. If car is locked and alarm enabled, that door will still open and alarm goes off. Fuel pump comes on when car is turned off, draining battery and damaging fuel pump. Fuel pump shut off while driving down road, and also while sitting at red light, causing car to turn off. Replaced oil sensors, fuel pump, crankshaft sensor; had house of voltage and circuit tests done on vehicle trying to determine root of electrical problems. After 9 months of trying to figure out what is wrong with vehicle and pouring money into it, finally discovered that faulty fuel relays in tipm were common in Dodge from 2011-2013. Some models were issued a recall, but not the Chrysler town and country. Repairing tipms is pricey. Fuel pump issue is now solved but all other electrical issues remain with doors and tailgate. Heater has also randomly turned on. Rear ac/heat has come on while driving down road even though rear system was turned off.

A month after we bought it stop running would start do anything its been just sitting int he yard since we checked fuel pump put new one in nope that wasn't it we have checked everything . Now our friend hins its the head gasketim sorry but we just gotthe van in July to only drive it for 2weeks can you help.

The tpim is malfunctioning which is not allowing my fuel pump to work. The car would turn over but not start until I tried several times. Now it does not work at all and had to be towed. My mechanic I'm not able to fix this because the part is back ordered including a part to bypass the issue.

For the last 18 months I have had to take out my battery every time I turn off my vehicle in order to prevent the battery from dying because the fuel pump relay keeps running when I turn of the car. As a result of the fuel pump relay system not ever turning off when I turn the key to turn the car off, my battery is drained within minutes and the car fails to start until I am able to wait for the tow service to arrive and jumpstart my car. The car also about a week ago just shut off while I was still driving it. This is very concerning for me. I have 2 young children diagnosed with autism and both have history of seizures and this car is unreliable. I have paid thousands of dollars to repair battery and have this car towed until finally learning what the true problem with the vehicle has been.

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.

Tipm fuel issues. Why is there not a recall on this issue? this issue has left my family without a vehicle. Why has been addressed and repaired? I dont have 1000. For a new fuse box. And just about every thing to keep the vehicle running is new. The fuel pump, the fuel filter, the power steering pump water pump tcm , the crankshaft sensor all are new with spark plugs wires and tune up. So why won't my 2002 Chrysler Town & Country start? I am ask you to replace this for free or give me another vehicle at no cost. My vehicle is fully paid for and I don't want to hear that it is due to age. There are many vehicles with this same issue with less mile.

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.

Since purchase, the vehicle has had multiple erratic no starts, caution lights illuminate, wipers activate, horn sound off, and an array of other electrical bugs. After taking the vehicle to the dealership multiple times with could not duplicate actions, I was told that the floor mat was sticking under the pedal contacting a sensor causing the no start issues, which is documented on their service report. Since then, we have dealt with the issues as they were sporadic. Now, the no start condition has led to the replacement of the tipm unit as well as 2 fuel pumps. It was towed today for the same faulty conditions that led to the expensive repairs. While we have had issues with intermittent electrical bugs while moving, the majority of our issues have involved no movement as the most common issue is the no start condition. My vehicle has been in the shop the last 3 weeks, required two tows, and is continuously burning up fuel pumps. Chrysler has not modified/re-engineered their tipm unit according to the dealership as the part number has never changed. I am concerned that I have another faulty tipm module causing damage to my vehicle, which has decreased the reliability. All of my receipts are in the glove box of the vehicle which is sitting at the dealership, so I cannot upload the documents showing the repairs right now.

"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.

Fuel pump has a leak at the top on the plastic line.
