| Description of the problem | What isn't wrong with my 2011 dodge grand caravan. Slowly everything is wrong and i'm finding out it's all related. First i just thought it was possessed when the windows rolled themselves down. Then it wouldn't want to turn over. I replaced the battery. I thought the problem was solved for about two weeks till it started acting up again. Now it never wants to start and will shut off on me while driving down the highway. I loose all power including steering. I know when the power goes out on the lift gate that the van is not going to start. Most recently the fuel pump kept running with the van shut off causing the battery to go dead. If it doesn't short out or what ever it does to act completely dead. I have read that i need to replace my tipm (total integrated power module) but that chrystler hasn't fixed the problem. So i will basically be paying about $1200 for a new defective part or drive down the highway with my kids in the van and hope i don't loose all power in the middle of traffic!! |
