2 Wiper problem

Failure Date: 06/15/2018

Major problems with t. I. P. Module while driving at night the interior and head lights start to flicker and eventually go completely out. I have 5 kids and have been almost hit head on when this happens because it happens without warning. I have had to sit beside the road for hours waiting on my lights to come back on and sometimes they never have. This is a life threatening emergency and Dodge wont listen to me. This is extremely dangerous and it is getting to the point the car is undrivable. I was told it would be $1,400 to repair module and that is why they will not do anything about it.

4 Wiper problem

Failure Date: 04/26/2017

The rear wiper of my 2012 Dodge Grand Caravan randomally stopped working. After being charged $140 labor fee to track down the issue, the dealership told me the tipm is defective and not powering the wiper. It will code $1300 to replace this unit, which is conveniently not covered under warranty or extended warranty.

7 Wiper problem

Failure Date: 11/06/2014

While driving along the highway at night, I turned off the high beams because of an approaching car. The multifunction switch instantly failed; I was unable to activate the high beams again, my directional signals did not work and the windshield wipers began to wipe incessantly. I consider this to be a safety-related defect, because I could not signal my intentions to other drivers, nor could I use the high beams to improve visibility. On a two-year-old van with only 89,000 miles, this failure seems premature.

9 Wiper problem

Failure Date: 05/10/2013

Documented several times since 2013, this van has had problems with the following: speedometer does not read, gauges do not read, windshield wipers turn on, all warning lights read, headlights do not work, a/c does not work; then all turn off randomly and intermittently turn back on and off again. In may 2014, the van had transmission issues where it would not shift out of low gear and driver had to twice shift into neutral and back into drive to shift properly. 6 repair attempts were made on the van beginning in may 2013 and ending in July 2013 with no success on repairs. The van was still under warranty so repair was free of charge. Replacement of the tipm was twice attempted but failed because of the faulty 2012 tipms. This van is used by rsvp, a federally funded nationwide non-profit, to transport senior volunteers to their work sites. This van has the potential to put people into a dangerous crash and needs Chrysler to repair the tipms immediately.
