| Description of the problem | I was driving to work on tuesday august 13, 2013 doing about 60mph, suddenly my windshield wipers came on, the horn started blaring, dashboard gauges stopped working (then started going crazy) and the engine turned off. I was able to pull over to the side of the road, i turned off the ignition removed the key but the nothing in the van would not turn off. The wipers were on, the horn was blaring and the dash gauges were still going crazy. This continued for about 6 to 8 minutes before everything just stopped. After about 3 minutes i was able to start the van and continue to work without issue. I called the dealership and told them the problem (it was in that shop for similar problem 2 weeks earlier) i dropped it off at the dealer the same day and as of today they it is still there (they cannot duplicate the problem?..) i've researched the problem online and i am apparently 1 of hundreds with the same issue with 2008 grand caravans. It is a faulty tipm module. |
