Alternator/generator/regulator problems of the 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan

Tipm electrical problems ? (1)the engine stalling while driving,dash flashing, eps/bas light and (abs) light coming on with traction control light too then van dies or shuts off. Also mileage and prnd display blinks rapidly. This happens when sitting still or driving. Seem's to happen even when engine is cold or hot on the city streets or highway. (2)my van has had 4 or 5 battery's that have went bad,also sometimes it wont start,I get a jump start,go get the battery tested at auto zone but there's nothing wrong with the battery,(3)horn works but if you need to honk more than 2 times it stops working but later it works,sometimes it wont start and you take the key out and open the door then close the door and you can start it. Also lately it has been harder to start. Also you can't play the radio without the motor running it will run the battery down? but the 1st year I had the van 2011 I could run the radio all day long with only starting it up for about 5 minutes every hour. Also cruse control works then stops working. These things have happen over and over,in a 7 year period sense April 2011. I believe it is a tipm electrical problem. Can you send me a new one I am a veteran one a small disability check sleeping in the van. There is a video of the problem on youtube. I did not know there was a problem with the tipm. I though I was playing the radio too long,or the alternator was going bad but the alternator never showed bad in any test or has not stop working. So it was the tipm (fuse box)going bad all the time. Thanks to youtube, see at- 08 Grand Caravan tipm on youtube. Com ? also a video at 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan electrical problems 2014 03 05 2019.

Tl-the contact owns a 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan. The contact stated that while parked and idling the vehicle stalled without warning. The contact stated that the vehicle required a jump start to restart the veicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The contact was informed that the alternator had failed. The vehicle was repaired. The vehicle was included in NHTSA campaign number: 14v373000 (air bags, electrical system). The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 164,000. Ah.

Please see the link of people with the same type of issues. Battery loses voltage. New tipm, battery 4 times, alternator, clock spring, rear hatch micro-switch. Have had it into the dealer with no results, same as the other complaints. Something is causing the batteries to go dead and no-one can help with it. I have about $2000. 00 into it so far. Somebody(Chrysler) needs to address this problem. Please help. . . . See the attached link. . Read more...

While driving or parked & turned off with no one near the van, the engine starts, the horn starts blaring, the wipers turn on full blast, the wiper fluid shoots out, and lights wont work! at first, we could disconnect battery or relay & it would stop. The last time, we had to disconnect alternator. This is a major safety issue!.

My van was one year old (2009) when it first activated the horn (off and on making a wierd warbling half honk sound) and wipers/spray while driving down the highway on a highway switch ramp at 65 mph. It lasted about a minute and then stopped. We were on a trip so we asked when we got back to the arkansas dealership. They told us it was likely corrosion (on a brand new car that was driven in normal circumstances). They said it wasn't covered under warranty and we didn't have proof. It repeated about once every 6 months or more. Now (about once a month)the battery dies randomly and the horn/wipers/etc go off randomly while it's just sitting there and driving down the road. I've had to jump it 5 times without any warning. I've double verified that the alternator/battery are in great shape. Really Dodge ! a brand new car and you couldn't help us!.
