My wife was driving with my 4 kids aged 13, 11, 8 and 3 when the caravan stalled while in motion at the red light near a major intersection without prior warning. With no power steering or breaks, the van stopped in the middle of the intersection and on coming traffic had to break hard to prevent a collision. Boulevard Dodge Chrysler diagnosed the issue as faulty electrical issue with the fuel pump. The repair cost me $478 (Dec. 3 2018). On Tuesday Jan 15 2019 the car started different electrical problems. When I took the car back to the same dealer they told me the cause is the tipm which would cost about $2000. When I started my research I realized that both issue are related and caused by the tipm. This is an ongoing issue with many models of fca which some vehicles had recalls from fca. I am not the only one who has experiences stalling due to tipm issue on caravan. This is a serious issue and NHTSA as well as transport canada has to protect the public before a serious accident or death occurs. On Feb 14 I had more electrical problems this time with an ignition coil default due to the tipm. Repair cost $ 265. 90. On August 29 the car stalled again in motion while driving on the service road of a major highway. Therefore no power brakes or steering. That is beside the fact that the car won't start or has different flashing lights on the dash board.

I have a 2002 Dodge Grand Caravan on about 8/11 the check engine light cam on and smoke and raw fuel were coming out of the exaust. I immediatly shut down and began to diagnose the problem. I found the wiring harness on the injector feul rail to be faulty. The harness is route around the ignition coil directly over the exaust pipe. The insultation had broke down over time from heat and bare wires wer touching each other. The result is a potential fire hazzard. The end result was also a ruined pcm. The injector wiring harness has no additional heat sheilding on it, but where it plugs into the main wiring harness the main wiring harness has heat sheilding material.
