Starter Problems of Chrysler Town & Country - part 1

Tl the contact owns a 2008 Chrysler town and country. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 14v373000 (electrical system, air bags) and the vehicle was repaired with a new ignition switch and key fobs as per the recall. The contact stated that after the recall was serviced, the vehicle began having starter issues with the vehicle not turning on and requiring jump starts. The contact had the vehicle diagnosed by three different dealers however, the mechanics could not replicate the failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and scheduled an appointment with the greenway Dodge Chrysler Jeep ram (9051 e colonial dr, orlando, FL 32817) for the vehicle to be diagnosed. The dealer speculated that the failure was caused by the tipm. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 74,000.

The electrical and engine shut off more than a dozen times over several months, summer, fall and winter, while I was driving in city traffic, with no other known correlations. All electrical systems and power steering and power brakes also ceased to function. This necessitated my placing the transmission into neutral to reengage the ignition, which immediately restarted the engine. . Perhaps also related: after overnight, immediately after engaging the ignition, starter and briefly the engine, the engine shut off when I released the ignition switch. This happened several times in a row. Only recently has this problem first occurred duurinh the several years we have had the car. Only after I engaging the gas pedal while engaging the ignition and increasing the rpms did the engine begin to function normally. This has happened several days when the temperature was about 30�f.

The vehicle cuts off during driving, have difficulty starting. Towed twice. Battery and starter changed the same result. Problem with ignition system win module. I found a recall on the module(r03/NHTSA 14v-373 ) which the dealer will not honor.

Intermittent starting problem. Changed starter, but problem persisted a few months later. Tapping on starter sometimes works and vehicle will start but will not start when stopped again. .

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!.

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.

The car only makes one click or sometimes nothing when you try to start it and after several attempts it will start right up , sometimes it will start with no problem at all ,battery and starter have been replaced to no avail ! this has been going on for over a year , sometimes a couple of weeks will go by with no issue !.

Vehicle started fine, was driven for 25 minutes. Sat for about 20 minutes then would not crank when trying to start. Everything had power, no dimming of lights when turning key in ignition. The starter simply made no sound/attempt at all. These symptoms are consistent with l25 recall in other 2010 Chrysler town and countries.

The vehicle will not start sometimes (the starter cranks but won't start) but then starts a few minutes later and you have no clue why, and sometimes the lights come on while parked at the house and then turn off. Other times the vehicle cranks up but will not start and after releasing the button it keeps cranking up for about 20 seconds? sounds like some problem with the firmware for the totally integrated power module (tipm) which is the gateway or distribution box for nearly the entire electrical system in late-model Chrysler products. Because of the intermittent nature (I have been experiencing this over more than 6 months and it will not repeat at my mechanics location) it is very hard to diagnose totally. The engine seems to be starting to run a little rougher than it used to also. I have over 125,000 miles with the vehicle and it has always worked great until this intermittent problem started. I also wake up my neighbors at different times of the night when the horn starts going off at random times. This one problem has been occurring since the car had about 20,000 miles and I attributed it to the key fob but I am not so sure. I have talked to Chrysler who keeps telling me that there is no recall so if I go in I have to pay to get it fixed while I think it is an engineering design problem that should be fixed at no cost. The date below reflects the latest instance but it has happened a lot during the past few years.

My tipm is failing slowly. My starter is pulling way to many amps when starting. I've changed it twice. My fuel relay has failed. A lot of the times when I start my car I have an icon for my abs sensor come on and the only way to get it off is to pull over and restart my car. When the light is on on my dash. My car won't drive over 60mph and my rpms will run high and when you let off the gas while it's doing this it will take you almost to a stop within seconds. My check engine light never goes off. And no matter how many times it gets tested and reset it comes back within hours. So my auto start never works. Sometimes when I start my car I can't get my seatbelt alarm to stop singing so I have to pull over and restart. It all leads back to this tipm (electronics board below the fuse box). I've had it priced at 1300$ to fix it. But turns out it's the most common issue with this year of this van. Please help!.

When turning the vehicle on the ignition stays in the "start" mode. Will continue to attempt to turn over with no results. After turning off and several attempts it will eventually turn over. This does not happen every time you get into the vehicle. Has been ongoing for the last month or so - most recent occurrence was 6/10/2019. Battery, alternator and starter have all checked out to be fine.

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.

Vehicle has plastic 'fob' and not a traditional key. This vehicle intermittently (while stationary) fails to crank the starter. I've been told that this problem is widespread with 2007 - 2011 Chrysler Town & Country vans. I found no recall. Is there an investigation? problem has occurred scores of times in past 6 months.

While in motion on a city street, the traction control light will come on, power steering will go out, and then the vehicle will stall. While stationary and attempting to start the vehicle, the lights will come on but the vehicle will not start. Both issues have happened multiple times over the last couple of years, happening more frequently now. The starter and wiring harness have been replaced. I will enter the most recent date of occurrence.

My 2013 Chrysler town and country keep cutting off while I was driving even on the highway which is very dangerous with 6 children in the car. I took it to the dealer to diagnose the problem nothing read on his machine so he referred me to Chrysler. I took had it towed to Chrysler who said it was the starter after misdiagnosing my car they told me it was the totally integrated power module and it would cost $1700 after I already had to pay 548 for a new starter. I chose to have my car towed back home as I could not afford to pay that amount and a car payment. After further research I discovered this to be a common problem with Chrysler town and country where they have settled class action suit in 2006 for this issue causing deaths in California and in 2012 in south carolina. The tipm(totally integrated power module) has been a common problem in the Chrysler town and country. My car was in motion several times and cut off and then just would not start. I had to have it towed to my home and then to Chrysler in lawrenceville.

Will not start. Multiple problems. Recall already issued for other years/models. Need to expand recall!!! neutral safety switch or a transmission gear indicator is bad, car just clicks when key is turned. Very expensive so far to diagnose. It was not the starter. Maybe the starter for some people. A recall needs to be done to cover all the problems with the ignition switch!!!.

Vehicle displays code for tipm problem at the mechanics shop. I've put over $5,000 of repairs to finally get this code for the tipm. After extensive research I've found thre are many people with this same problem and similar vehicles with the same part have been recalled. To put a new tipm is going to cost another $1,300. Please a's a reputable company, I hope you will do the right thing and recall this issue on the vehicle. I have loved my van and was planning to upgrade to the pacifica. If this problem is not corrected I will no longer buy Chrysler's products. With today's age of information im sie you are aware of the problem others are having, please urse this to your advantage and fix this difficult to diagnose and expensive problem. Vehicle starts after 7-10 attempts, happens intermittently. Will sometimes crank, sometimes nothing happens when you turn the key. I have to slam the gas to eventually get it to start, if it cranks. I've replaced the battery, starter, fuel pump, fuel injectors, done a full tune-up, removed the remote start and more without success.

The sliding door track fell apart and wires are hanging out of the door. The control panel for the windows is not working. One of the rear seatbelts are stuck. There is a delay in the starter. The air bag lights are always on.

We started having issues with my van a couple months ago. Thought it was the fuel pump, so we replaced it. Still had problems. But much worse! van wouldn't start. And 3. 5 hours later my fuel pump was still running. Did some further looking into it. Come to find out the tipm needs replaced (or just the relay). So looking into the system more, the tipm has caused the starter to not start. It is sitting in my garage until we can get the tipm work done. Not very safe. Very mad! I still owe money on this car and now we dont have a car big enough for the family. I will never buy Chrysler cars again!!! this has been the worst 7 months with this car!!!!.

Takata recall I have been having an issue with my car not starting for over a year. I've replaced 2 starters and still having the same issue. I have taken my car to the Chrysler dealership in woodriver, IL and spent almost 400. 00 and the issue still isn't fixed. They are the dealership and they can't even give me an answer or resolve what the real issue is. I can't keep taking my vehicle in and having it worked on. I think they know its the tipm. I will never buy another Chrysler again. I have 2 children and I'm scared every time I have them in the car. We bought this van to accommodate our family and also for road trip. We can't even do that anymore because we can't trust the van to go long distances let alone the grocery store. How has this not been recalled or addressed?.

Tl the contact owns a 2010 Chrysler town and country. When the key was inserted in the ignition switch, the contact heard an abnormal clicking noise and the vehicle failed to start. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The contact changed the battery and had to hit the starter with a hammer. The vehicle was towed to gwinnett Chrysler Dodge Jeep ram (5054 GA-78, stone mountain, GA 30087, (404) 492-6831) on several occasions where it was diagnosed that the starter, ignition, two keys, wiring, and engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer, but they could not duplicate the failure. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who stated that the transmission needed to be replaced. The failure recurred. The manufacturer was contacted and did not assist. The failure mileage was 103,450.

Vehicle failed to start while parked in our driveway. Had battery, starter, alternator relays tested and no problems found. Had vehicle towed to dealer, who just informed me that ignition module kit & key fobs must be replaced in order to start engine, cost $902. 00 + tax. We had this same problem in Aug. 2012, and again in June 2015 we had recall repair done. This will be the third tignition module & set of keys. Apparently Chryslers permanent solution lasts 3 years.

Tl- the contact owns a 2010 Chrysler town and country. The contact stated that the vehicle stalled with no warning several times and that the failure had continued to progress. The dealer atlanta west Chrysler Dodge Jeep ram (1251 thornton rd, lithia springs, GA 30122) had replaced the tipm, the starter and the repairs failed to correct the failure. The dealer had been unable to determine a repair diagnosis after the vehicle had been taken back to the dealer and the contact was inquiring about trading in the vehicle due to being uncertain if the dealer and the manufacturer may be able to provide a solution. The VIN was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 125,000. Dyd.

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.

Vehicle started having issues in 2014. Vehicle just would not crank one morning. Got a jump start and took it to autozone and got a new battery. About 3 months later the same thing happened. Got a jump start, went to autozone and they found nothing wrong with battery, alternator or starter. Autozone gave me a new battery anyway. About 4 months later, happened again. Brought vehicle to Chrysler for win module recall fix and explained what was happening. They said handling the recall and a new battery should fix the problem. About 2 months later, had the same problem. Chrysler replace win module again and I got Chrysler to replace battery at this time as I explained that the battery was being affected due to the part that was being recalled. All was fine for about a year or so and then started happening again. Brought it back to Chrysler and they said battery had a dead cell. I explained that they had just put the battery in about a year ago and it should be under warranty. They told me, "we don't do warranty replacements on warranty replacements". So, I am just dealing with the battery right now. Most recently, about 3 months ago, dash board warning lights started all coming in at the same time. Then they would all go off and one side of the dash illumination would go out. Next start up, illumination would be fine again. This happened several times over a couple of months. Then, one day while driving, the power steering went out, the traction light came on and the vehicle shut off! was able to put vehicle in neutral and restart. This happened a few times in a month, but was always ok after one restart. Now, it keeps happening and only lasts a few minutes before needing to be restarted again. Afraid that this is going to happen while turning across oncoming traffic or in a situation where we can not pull over to safety and will get rear-ended.

While driving, my van had an electrical meltdown starting with my seat warmers not staying on. It continued with gauges malfunctioning, headlights and stereo shut down. Followed by a complete shutdown of the vehicle. It was determined that the alternator went out but also fried the electrical system resulting in needing the tipm and ecm replaced. I suspected the tipm as a problem several months earlier when the van would not start regularly but if you continued to push the start button it would eventually start. It also completely shut down once while driving but then came back up after a couple seconds. My mechanic thought it was the starter. Chrysler has recalled the tipm for my make, model, and year but somehow has skipped my VIN. A lawsuit was also settled in 2015 with regards to the tipm and the vehicles not starting. I believe Chrysler should expand their VIN numbers to include all vehicles listed in the years included in the lawsuit. In addition, Chrysler should be financially liable for all repairs necessitated by the manufacturing/design defect that causes the electrical failures.

Hello, can you give me any information about the �totally integrated power module� (tipm) in my 2009 Chrysler town and country lx, 3. 3l minivan? how to diagnose a problem with it? are there known problems with it? my van exhibits the following random conditions� 1. ) horn stops working after repeated use. It will work again after a period of time. Recently, I have pushed on the horn and it will blow and then cut out after a couple of seconds. This happen whether the van is in motion or stationary. 2. ) starter will rotate the engine but engine will not fire. This is very infrequent but has gotten a little worse. Engine will eventually start and run fine. And the next time it needs to start it will without issue. Also, one time during the same day that this happened, the engine started but then immediately died. It started and ran fine after that. Van was always stationary. 3. )center mounted rear brake light will look very dim or not work at all one day, and then work the next. Van was in motion or stationary. 4. )cruise control will not engage and then it will. This was happening about a year ago but has not happened lately. Van was in motion. These situations have happened intermittently since we bought the van in 2012. Am I and my family in danger of the airbags not deploying when they should? thanks for your help.

Car will not start from "park" occasionally. Lights will work, gauges will work, starter will not crank to turn the engine over. This usually occurs when vehicle is at normal operating temperatures, after driving to the store and turning it off. Then trying to start car when leaving store. After two to seven tries, starter will work and engine starts.

For the last five years we have been dealing with a mysterious electrical issue. There are hundreds of complaints online of the same issue. The van will be fine and you get in to start it and when turning the key it will not start. Full charge, full battery. Starter is fine - everything checks out fine. With a jump it will usually start. Sometimes it will start on it's own if you wait a little while. People on boards have stated replacing dozens of things - to then have the same issue a couple days later. We are use to having to jump our vehicle about 1 out of 20 times. We have taken it to multiple mechanics and had multiple things checked and replaced. An example of a board with many others experiencing the same thing can be found here: https://forums. Edmunds. Com/discussion/12634/Chrysler/town-and-country/2008-t-c-ignition-switch-problem/p1 in addition - sometimes you will be driving and everything starts going off (wipers, lights, flashers, horn, entire dash lights up, etc - no resolve). This can happen while stationary or driving.

When driving for a short trip or longer, when shopping or not in use, the car will not start on 1st, 2nd or 5th try. Replaced battery, starter 4 months ago. This occurs with no warning and no special time, it can happen now, a week from now and months-from now. I believe it's the ignition switch. I bought the car used in 2017 and this has been happing since. If you can give me some guidance on this and help me fix it or sell it. Hopefully there is a call on this.

The vehicle will intermittently start/not start. We have replaced the battery, and the starter. But the problem still persists. We have towed the vehicle to the dealership and they are unable to diagnose the problem. We have been stranded numerous times by our vehicle that is temperamental when it is time to start. When turning the ignition the starter clicks once and then is silent. All electrical in the car still works, but the engine never turns over. The alternator, starter, and battery have all been diagnostically checked and are in working order. We have experienced this problem for over 1 1/2 years, however it has become more frequent in recent days.

Electrical system - tipm: starter fuse relay is malfunctioning causing the starter to intermediately not work. Problems when it malfunctions: the starter cranks but won't start. Other times the starter will start to crank and the tipm sends a message to the starter causing it to short circuit. This has been going on off and on since 5/15/2017.

Car was parked overnight in the garage. When I came out in the morning to leave my home car would not start. I thought it was the starter and had it replaced. Starter engages but engine does not start or crank. I tried two key fobs and still nothing. Every mechanic believes there is an issue with the immobilizer but unable to check at dealer because I cannot start the car. I believe there is a malfunction in the ignition.

First problem the left sliding door stopped working which appears to be a very common problem. The other major issue which is very common with this vehicle is the van runs great until it doesn't then there seems to be no definite fix. It started a few months ago when my van wouldn't start. We have taken to multi ok e mechanics and have also had it tested with recommendations from auto stores. We have replaced three batteries, two starters, the alternator and still something is draining the battery. I can't even count the times I have been told well maybe it's this or that and we fix it only to drive it and find myself and kids stranded somewhere because it won't start again. I have a family member with the same issue and have seen many others online with the same issue spending tons of time and money into trying to solve the problem only to not be any closer than when started. I am now in the process of troubleshooting if the entertainment system is the problem and draining my battery. I charged the battery th end pulled stereo fuse my van stated charged however did hesitate to start once I had to turn key sev er al times. But battery did stay charged. I put the fuse back in and checked a little later and it quickly drained. So I may have found the issue however we have thought that many times so not holding my breath but if that is the issue that still is a huge disappointment because it controls so much both dvd players bluetooth navigation stereo cd player and some other electric features definitely not cheap to replace and having this was a main reason we purchased this vehicle for our family very disappointed that there is not a recall already and we along with others are just left out on our own -my email cblevensky@yahoo. Com or phone 7y5-506-7755also the problems take place after vehicle turned of and you go to start.

Sitting still car will not start,however when you remove key fob from dash and put back ini it may start,had to garage they replaced battery and starter still doing it Chrysler said they don't know whats wrong had to garage 4 times no codes just had it towed to Chrysler got back still wont start some times only 53000 miles.
