While driving, the vehicle will shut off at random times. This has happened several times during the last 2 months. We recently took the vehicle in, but, the problem did not occur while the repair shop had it, so, they did not replace anything. There are no specific circumstances that will cause this to happen. It has happened several times while traveling at high speed on the interstate. There is a recall for the 2008-2010 model year Grand Caravans that have suffered the same problem. The recall addresses the ignition switch on those vehicles.
2011 Dodge Grand Caravan 3. 6l - problems begin around September with issues cranking the vehicle. The engine would turn over but it was having trouble picking up the fuel. After several attempts the van would start and run fine in the beginning. The issue progressively got worse and more complex. On several occasion while driving, the vehicle lost fuel pressure and stalled momentarily , then picked up fuel again. In November the fuel pump begin not shutting off after the ignition had been switched off and other times it would not pump at all. Around the first of January the vehicle stranded us on vacation for 7 hours only to crank once we jumped the van with another vehicle. After that the only way I could start the vehicle in the morning is by jumping it with another vehicle. This week, thinking that there was a short in the fuel pump I replaced it ($300. 00 parts only) and the problem continued. The fuel pump fuse (m25) was not blown but there was no power on it. I bypassed the fuel pump fuse with the rear power accessory fuse (m7) and the pump came on with the ignition switch. While the fuse is bypassed the vehicle starts and runs fine. After researching the problem online it appears that I may have a common problem with the tipm. Hoping for a recall to help with this costly issue.
