Hairline cracks in fuel pump outlet just before connecting to fuel line leads to strong fuel smell and fuel vapors all around vehicle. Fuel pump needs replacement to repair this dangerous condition. Highly suggest different fuel pump design that is not prone to hairline cracks and potential fire hazard as fuel leak is about one foot away from a hot muffler and a tossed cigarette or other spark could cause a fire or explosion.

Internal fuel pump relay failure within tipm.

See all problems of the 2011 Dodge Grand Caravan 🔎.

The vehicle is having issues with tipm. The van will not start due to a defect in the tipm relay that will not allow the fuel pump to function. This has been noted on several Dodge and Chrysler vehicles. Most recently a lawsuit was settled but only half of the affected vehicles were covered. From a cold start, the engine will turn over but not start, the ignition sequence will continue until you turn it off. It is currently in the driveway until I can replace the tipm,.

The totally integrated power module (tipm) on my Dodge caravan vehicle contains an internal fuel pump relay that operates intermittently and fails without warning caused and still causes the engine to stall while driving which could cause a crash. There is no warning when the fuel pump is going to fail. This is a known issue on the 2012 Dodge caravan, but no recall to date.

Since I bought the vehicle from a previous owner, the car all of a sudden stalls on the highway, a total shut down occurs while driving on highway or local roads. It is really a scary situation. When I looked into product recall on this vehicle, nothing shows up, except several complaints of the same matter. I found out from the web it is a failure of totally integrated fuel system failure and also related to a fuel pump relay failure. So far, no recalls from Chrysler/Dodge manufacturers. No government actions either.

Fuel pump runs all night drains battery and later vehicle stalls and cranks but doesn't start.

Van won't start several time a week because of a faulty t. I. P. M. Dodge knows about this problem and won't warranty it because they have not been forced to recall this part/problem. My wife use's this van for her job and is in some bad neighborhoods and is scared someone will hurt her and she can't get away because van won't start. There are several places on the internet that rebuilds these t. I. P. M. 's because of known problems. Dodge even has a bypass to the fuel pump as an aftermarket part to fix some of these issues but not all of the problems. The fuel pump relay has intermittent power to the relay and that is causing the no start problem. The internet has page after page's of customer complaints that has had or having this problem. This happens all times during the day when stationary. Van can work perfect then we stop and get out and a few minutes later we get back in and van cranks but won't start.

The tipm has gone bad in this van. The van will stall while driving and the fuel pump will stay running if you don't pull the fuse. This is a recall on only certain models made by Dodge but they are claiming it is not a problem with this van even though they are the same components. I now have to put out $1600 to repair something Chrysler will not accept responsibility. This vehicle is unsafe without the repair and Chrysler should do better.

The fuel pump stays on after the van is turned off and the keys are removed, sometimes it will kick off if you reinsert the keys and turn it off other times we have to pull the fuse to make it kick off. This has happened on numerous occasions other than today. After doing research I have found out it's a very common occurrence in Dodge caravan and also the town and country.

My fuel pump kept running when the car was off and the key was out it was the tipm computer that was bad I bypassed the tipm when this was fixed at Dodge now my battery light is coming on its a brand new battery and alternator and im being told its the tipm. It also was effecting acceleration it would ramp up rpm but speed would not change this issue occured while in motion driving on a freeway.

Van would turn over but not start. This continues to happen over and over. The dealership told me I needed a new tipm and fuel pump. But found out this is a very common problem, and they issued a recall for other vehicles with this same part. It is the fuel relay switch inside of tipm that goes bad. It seems the fuel pump is fine. I can buy a repair part very cheap. This is plastered all over online and I think this is a known problem and should be a recall!.

Vehicle stalls/dies while driving. My family was on the freeway and the Dodge caravan just died. Lights still worked but engine suddenly quit running. Had to coast to the side of the road after almost being run over by other vehicles. A police officer had to push vehicle off of freeway. This has happened intermittently on city streets and 3 times on the freeway. It happens at slow and fast speeds. It is extremely unsafe and scary. We had a fuel pump relay bypass installed as we've read this could be the problem. But vehicle still dies while driving. Someone is going to get hurt or killed. Please help!.

Apparently this is a widely known problems with Dodge and related Chrysler vehicles according to our mechanic. Basically the tipm--totally integrated power module is bad and this causes among other symptoms: vehicle not starting, issues with electric controls(lighting), issues with fuel system(fuel pump or relay) our vehicle had issues starting. Especially during wintertime this happened. And having replaced the battery new and also having ensured sparkplugs are new, those issues were ruled out. Starter issue also were ruled out both by obvservation and mechanic. The vehicle continued to have difficulty and intermittent successes in starting, up to the point that it didn't start anymore on 12/10/2018. The starter is turning but engine doesn't start. So took it to the mechanic and learned that the tipm is the issue. Prior to it totally failing to start. , in the past 4 months, the vehicle had stalled 4 to 5 times while driving it on the thread going about 30 to 40 miles an hour with traffic. I realized that this is a safety issue because basically the car stops all of a sudden while driving on the road--with traffic. When this failure happens, apparently no fuel goes into the engine that the vehicle comes to a halt. There is no power steering and radio or other--as if the power was just totally disconnected. Luckily we were able to steer the vehicle to the side off the road, using its momentum. And after a couple times turning able to restart the vehicle. Again the sudden engine stoppage occurred around 5 times and I was able to restart it after a couple of tries. Until the vehicle would no longer start at all from a parking lot. The repairs cos $1300+ for the tipm which had to be dealer ordered and reprogrammed.

The tipm module completely failed causing damage to the fuel pump. From preliminary research this is a known issue that Dodge has failed to address with this model. Vehicle will not start. Have had intermittent propulsion issue which causes the vehicle to be sluggish thus causing a danger to driver and occupants in traffic situations.

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.

Vehicle stops stating, battery drains. Problem diagnosis points to fuel pump, however replacing fuel pump does not resolve the issue. The issue is tpn malfunction. The cost to replace this device is astronomical and the bypass is not fuel efficient, or long lasting.

Tl- the contact owns a 2011 Dodge Grand Caravan. The contact stated that on various occasions the vehicle could not be started. The vehicle was examined by an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the external fuel pump relay was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The local dealer pine belt Dodge (1400 state hwy 88, lakewood NJ. ) and the manufacturer were notified of the failure but no solution was offered. The failure mileage was 87,000. Jft.

There are two facets of this issue. First issue: it began starting hard back in November it would crank but not turn over and start. It will often leave us stranded myself and young children for 20-45 minutes waiting for it to start. Second issue: the fuel pump will remain running when vehicle is shut off and continue to run till battery is dead. Alternator has been replaced in past year and has been tested to be good, battery had to be replaced twice in two years. When diagnosed by a Dodge dealership the issue is said to be a power distribution module which costs $1,008. 00 not including labor. The part is ordered but on national backorder with no estimated time of arrival.

Tl the contact owns a 2013 Dodge Grand Caravan. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to start after several attempts. The vehicle had to be jumpstarted. The contact purchased a new battery, but the vehicle failed to start. An independent mechanic diagnosed that the fuel pump relay failed and needed replacement. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer for diagnostic testing. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 80,000.

Van won't start, or shuts off randomly, including while driving. When driving, the engine dies and power steering is lost, making controlled stopping difficult and unsafe. I tested for tipm fuel relay problem using information available online & found it faulty. Had to rig a bypass from aux power terminal to fuel pump fuse to power fuel pump at all. This is a known issue for this and other Dodge/Chrysler vehicles, some of which NHTSA pushed for recall, but not all!!!! this needs recall reconsideration, given how common this problem is across multiple other vehicles that use the exact same tipm. There are literally dozens of videos and hundreds of web posts covering this issue, yet NHTSA has done nothing further, nor has any recall been provided for. When will this get addressed?.

I bought my 2011 Dodge Grand Caravan crew in Feb 2018. In March my tire sensors starting going off, we replaced all of them with no luck, the gauges would still read they were out. In April, the camshaft sensor went out while we were on vacation, and we replaced it, in florida. In may the camshaft sensor went out again, shortly after having it replaced for the second time, but guess what? it happened a 3rd time! only a week later!!!! so yet again, it was replaced. Our van would start acting possessed. Wipers would go off while driving down the road & while they were in the off position. The locks would lock and unlock by themselves while driving, seemed like every time it rained out windows would roll down by themselves over night or while we were in a store while the van was shut off. In June the van started stalling while we would drive it. It would randomly die while idling. In July/Aug I had my oil changed, the following day my van wouldn't start. While in the moment I thought the shop had done something to it, since I had gotten frustrated with them there, (poor fellas) that clearly was not the case. I was under the impression my fuel pump had went out, so I paid to have that replaced. Around sept the van wouldn't start. It would crank but not start. My fuel pump would turn on, after turning the key on and off several times. In oct the fuel pump would run while the van was off, we had to disconnect the positive on the battery so it wouldn't burn up. At this point, my van wouldn't start at all, and the van acted like it was dead. I went and bought a new battery, day after I replaced that, my van needed to be jumped each time I wanted to start it. Today on oct 22- is my last straw. Thanks fca, a mother and her two young children had to find a ride home because it stalled and shut down while sitting in a drive thru.

Over the last 6 months we have encountered the following issues: all have been a stopped position. 3 times the van would not start. It would not turn over. The van has started to stall on regular basis. The van takes 2 to 4 attempts to start. On October 17, 2018, the van would not start at all. We had the van towed. They stated there was no pressure to the fuel pump. $900 dollars later, they state the van is ready. We go to pick it up. The van would not start for 3 attempts. Then the van started with a different key. Drove it for 4 minutes and then park and turned off the car. Went to start it again, it kept stalling. It stalled about 5 times. We switched back to the first key that would not start the car. It actually started twice. We left the van with the auto repair place. They stated there were no issues with the van. We got it back on October 18th. It has only started one time since then the first try. It has stalled occasionally since then. Once on oct 21st, the braking system did not engage while the van was being back out. Once before the issues started to happen, the gas pump did not stop and the fuel over flowed.

My car engine would turn but not start intermittently or stall. Checking the internet, I discovered it is a chronic problem with these vehicles, where the fuel pump relay goes bad. I made a test cable w/led to monitor my fuel pump relay and it confirmed that this is the issue. I see that later models have kits available to address the identical issue, but for some reason do not apply to my model/year,.

Fuel pump relay in tipm failing and may cause car not to start or may cause car to turn off while driving. Has failed to start many times and failed to work properly once while in motion.

While in motion at low speed the engine suddenly stopped running and could not be immediately restarted, unable to get out of the lane or off to the shoulder. After several attempts of cycling the key fob off and on the van started again. It is fortunate that this occurred in a very rural area with no traffic. This is a 2012 Grand Caravan with approx. 90k miles. My husband researched similar failures other drivers have experienced with the Grand Caravan, he believes it is likely a failing fuel pump relay. He read that many other Chrysler vehicles having the same relay system have been recalled but apparently not the Grand Caravan as we have not received a recall notice in the mail.

Car has hard time starting. Fuel pump module will not start on turn of the key till the second or third try loss of steering and breaks.

The fuel pump relay located within the tipm has failed while operating the vehicle at highway speed. This failed component nearly caused an accident as the vehicle lost all power at those highway speeds. My 3 children and wife were in the vehicle at the time. Safety recall r09 / NHTSA 15v-115 fuel pump relay - 2012-2013 Dodge durango & Jeep grand cherokee exists for the same exact issue on the same component.

Tl the contact owns a 2011 Dodge Grand Caravan. While driving various speeds, the vehicle stalled without warning. In addition, while attempting to start the vehicle, it failed to start occasionally. The contact mentioned that there was an abnormal noise coming from the fuel pump. The contact stated that the failure was ongoing and the totally integrated power module needed to be repaired. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 70,000.

The vehicle intermittently experiences interruption to fuel delivery (?) on the street, highway, and freeway at various speeds. This typically happens when accelerating. The van will be accelerating smoothly and then, suddenly, lose power and act like it is going to stall completely. It will cough and lurch and then resume accelerating. On three occasions it has stopped accelerating entirely, forcing my son and I to coast to the side of the road, during rush hour traffic, without power steering or brakes, and wait until it is ready to resume acceleration. The fuel pump was tested and is fully functional, and the transmission was replaced a year ago. Additionally, during the time periods when it is exhibiting this behavior, it also fails to start on the first attempt. The ignition will crank continuously, the battery has power, but the engine will not engage. This has been a temporary/intermittent issue that would 'vanish' on repeated attempts. Today it will not start at all, leaving us stranded once again. The last time it refused to start entirely we were at a rest area in northern arizona in 124 degree heat for hours. This is incredibly dangerous and mechanics have told me that it is known to be the tipm, which is faulty. If this part is known to be faulty, why is it not recalled?.

Vehicle while driving loses power motor shutdown due to fuel pump module will not start on turn of the key till the second or third try loss of steering and breaks.

Tl the contact owns a 2011 Dodge Grand Caravan. The contact stated that the vehicle had a fuel pump relay failure, which caused it not to start and/or stall. Scoville-meno Chrysler Dodge Jeep (18 union st, sidney, NY 13838, (607) 561-7500) was contacted and stated that the only solution was to replace the entire fuse box, which would cost approximately $1,000. The manufacturer was contacted and suggested the contact file a complaint with NHTSA. The manufacturer also stated that the part could not be bought at a lower price to have the vehicle repaired from some place other than the dealer. The failure mileage was 110,000.
