Ignition Module problems of the 2012 Dodge Grand Caravan

2015-2020 on approximately 45 occassions the fuel pump continues running after ignition shut-off. It then drains the battery which requires jump starting to keep from being stranded. 2015-2020 on multiple occassions (approximately 4 times)the fuel pump will not kick on at all leaving vehicle and driver/family stranded. 2020 3 times while driving the van just shut off. This has been going on for 6 years and now will not start at all. Researched and had it tested. It is the tipm. Totally integrated power module. This has been recalled in both Dodge durango and the Jeep. Many Dodge caravans have the same problem. *refusal to recall due to undocumented complaints and requests is a failure to public safety. A quick internet search of issues regarding the tpim im Dodge Grand Caravans is proof enough to show that the fault lies as significantly with these vehicles as the durangos and jeeps. *** a new investigation should be conducted. I have sustained injuries in my neck and shoulders as a disabled person by having to raise and drop my hood to disconnect my battery terminal everywhere the vehicle sits on every occassion possible for 6 years to avoid intermittent battery drain and being stranded with my two young children. Is a gross disservice to consumers and public safety that this model has yet to be included in the tpim recall.

Tl the contact owns a 2012 Dodge Grand Caravan. While driving 60 mph or various speeds, the vehicle spontaneously shut down, but was able to be restarted. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to cullman Chrysler Dodge Jeep ram (300 benchmark way, cullman, al, (256) 615-2563) where it was diagnosed that the wireless ignition module needed to be replaced. The repair would cost approximately $900; therefore, the contact declined the repair. The manufacturer was contacted and referred the contact to NHTSA. The failure mileage was 100,300.

Wireless ignition node (win) module has intermittent function in the start/run position. Note: previous model years had the same problem, see safety recall r03 / NHTSA 14v-373 wireless ignition node module. I have owned this vehicle for a few years and have waited for a recall but have heard nothing from NHTSA or the manufacturer. Note: this issue is a widely known problem according to many youtube channels; example: https://youtu. Be/n_lbdclmiqw https://youtu. Be/q99sslgsho0.

Earlier 2008 to 2010 Chrysler town & country and Dodge Grand Caravans were experiencing an ignition problem with the (win) wireless ignition node module recall #14v-373, Chrysler #r03. We noticed that an extra fobik could not be programmed on these vehicles because of a failure in the (win). These affected models were replaced under this recall. I now have a 2012 Grand Caravan that also has a non-responsive (win) (extra fobik can not be programmed) and will need to be replaced; however, this is nearly an identical unit to the 2008-2010 models and this is the same thing we experienced with the module loosing its communication. I suspect that it is a precursor to the same issue (win failure) and Chrysler needs to replace these newer units as well. A complete failure of the ignition module could shut the vehicle off when it is going down the road. This problem they are having with newer ignition modules appears to be very similar to the earlier model. Its a potential hazard and an expensive fix that people could put off (don't have to program an extra fobik) and later have a bigger issues with a (win) failure that causes an engine shut-off condition going down the road.

The contact owns a 2012 Dodge Grand Caravan. While driving over unleveled land, the vehicle experienced a complete lost of power without warning. The vehicle was taken to northtown Chrysler Dodge fiat (2020 niagara falls blvd, tonawanda, NY) where it was diagnosed that the wireless ignition node module failed. The failure was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.
