Description of the problem	Driving home on the highway my 2011 dodge grand caravan crew died. Traveling 60 mph on a slight incline. All power shut down without warning. Dash lights/accel./power steering all died. I struggled to pull to the shoulder and tried to restart 10 times. It would try to crank and sound like it was starting, but then never would stay running. Called a relative for a ride home, thinking i would need to have the van towed to the shop. After waiting about 15 min. For my ride i decided one last time to try to start it. It fired right up. I kept it running; my ride followed me home the 5 miles to ensure no more shut downs. Took it to our dodge dealer and had to leave it. 2 days later finally got someone to report the problem. They had trouble getting the van to duplicate the failure to start. According to the technician, it needed a new totally integrated power module, at a cost of $900. I purchased this van as the third owner may 2015 with just 40,900 miles. Shortly after purchasing the van my windshield wipers started on their own and wouldn't stop no matter what setting you turned the wiper control to. That was the only other time we've had this van in the shop other than oil changes. We paid $179. 00 to fix the 'wiper mechanism'. Looking back, i see that problem was surely related to the failing "tipm" the technician even stated that this was certainly a related issue. The van has sat in the garage unable to start the last 40 days. Now that i've researched dodge and their history of faulty tipm's, i am hesitant to even have it repaired-but i need my van. I can't sell it to anyone in this condition. It's my daily driver, and has way too low mileage to get rid of it. We have been stuck sharing a vehicle. I'm reading about numerous others having this same problem. Dodge, please do the right thing and recall the tipm.
