| Description of the problem | Intermittent electrical problems - replaced tipm at my own expenses. 6 months later, vehicle would not start, no electrical power - only security light flashing. Took to firestone, they could not diagnose, then towed to chrysler dealer - could not find anything, reconnected tipm connections, vehicle started and ran ok. There are multiple problems with this design/generation of the tipm (as seen in forums) - even had to change at my own expense, still have random/intermittent electrical problems - is this vehicle safe to drive - will the airbags work, if needed? Why has this vehicle not been recalled and the tipm replaced/redesigned - this is a massive safety issue with these minivans! |
