2008 Dodge GRAND CARAVAN Electrical System Problems, Complaints and Defects

Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Initial symptoms of vehicle involved the horn chirping whenever the car was shifted into park as well as the front windshield wipers going off randomly along with washer fluid spraying. When rear wiper was turned on the front wipers would also come on as well but moved very slow. Symptoms became worse, the passenger sliding door randomly would open on its own and the horn would chirp constantly when car in reverse. The parking lights and tail lights also would stay on and flicker after key removed and light switch off on dash. While taking van to dodge dealership in beloit, wi the check engine light came on, dash lights began to flash randomly and transmission went into limp mode only allowing me to travel at speeds less than 20 mph. I was advised that i had a faulty tipm (total integrated power module). I was also told that part is on back order and both bryden dealership/dodge corporation are unable to provide a date when the part would be available. I have contacted dodge directly and was able to get a rental car at dodge's expense even though vehicle is not under warranty anymore. They obviously are aware that this is a problem since i was advised by a third party parts supplier that over 600 of these are on back order with no eta on part availability. The worst part of this is not knowing when the part will be available and that so many people are being affected i don't understand how this part can be so scarce when this is one of the most popular vans on the road today.
