Description of the problem	One day after initial incident..... Start car in parking lot, start backing up. The car stops, everyone is jerked forward, and the horn starts blaring/wipers go crazy, fluid spewing everywhere. At first we thought i had hit someone... But nope. Put the car into drive- no power steering- and pulled back into parking space. Tried to turn car off. It continued to run with key out of ignition. After 15 minutes of it going crazy some people came over and helped us disconnect the battery. After about a minute it finally died. I met a couple in the parking lot that asked if it was a 2008. It was, and they told me about their horror story with their van. And how they had a lawyer that filed lemon law on it. I was thrilled. After about 10 minutes we connected the battery and the van continued to go crazy. Finally we decided to just drive home. It was 9:30 at night. Drove home with horn blaring, wipers going crazy, no transmission shifting and fluid spewing. Just waiting for the power steering to go out and have very little control of vehicle. Got home and van continued going crazy until hubby disconnected battery again. Looked online and find out this is an ongoing problem with 2008 dodge/chrysler vans. The tipm goes bad and the car goes crazy. This is going to cause someone to get into a serious wreck and kill someone. Very unsafe!! There needs to be a recall, but dodge is having problems getting the part.... Ridiculous! The dealership i took it to told me they had 2 2008 vans in the "back" waiting for this part. They have been sitting there for over 2 weeks and noone knows when they will get the part. So what happens? The people trade them in. Convenient. Maybe that's why these are the most "popular" van on the road? Making sure they get repeat business. Well i'll never buy another dodge/chrysler again and im definitely not going to get bullied into being a repeat buyer!!

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
