Description of the problem	My 2011 dodge grand caravan, which i bought used at 33,000mi and it had under 47,000mi when the issue started happening, failed to start after the first few attempts. It would eventually start after 5-10 attempts. I noticed it would usually have that issue when the vehicle had not been started within a few hours. Once it started, it ran fine and if turned off would start back up fine. Dealership initially diagnosed the coolant temp sensor but did not fix the situation. They called chrysler for any inputs on what the issue could be and were told it most likely is the tipm. The following is what they wrote on my work order: "using power probe found voltage from fuel pump to low to maintain proper fuel pressure. Using power probe added voltage through m37 fuse and found vehicle to operate as intended." the repair totaled to $1,000. That does not include the $300+ repair for the temp. Coolant sensor that did not fix the issue. This is absurd to believe the tipm is recalled on the jeep and durango but not the caravan when it clearly is having the same issues in many forums across many websites. I called chrysler and was told there is nothing they can do since my vehicle is out of warranty and that specific part is not recalled. It is clear chrysler will not attempt to fix the situation until told to.
