Description of the problem	Dodge dealership finally diagnosed my faulty tipm in my 2011 dodge grand caravan. I bought the vehicle new and started having starting issues while parked at about 15k miles all the way up to present mileage of 70k miles. Originally when the key was turned in the ignition i would get nothing, just a very quick half turn of the motor (no true cranking). This strange electrical short would self resolve after 15 minutes and then caravan would startup. This issue progressively became more frequent as the miles were added racked up on the vehicle. Now at 70k miles the caravan will only crank but not start up. When it does start it will stutter and then stall out. Eventually i will be able to get it to start but it will feel hesitant at times while driving it. This hard start has been occurring almost time i try to drive the vehicle now. The dealership was finally able to replicate it now at 70k miles (because it is a guaranteed to occur) as opposed to when it was very intermittent and unpredictable. Of course now that i'm out of warranty it will cost me $1400 for a new tipm or the other option proposed is to cut my electrical wiring and solder a standalone relay to bypass the internal relay inside the faulty tipm at a rate of $500. As evidenced by internet research, this issue is rampant across the chrysler/dodge product line and i'm surprised that this is not a voluntary recall already. I see that it is in litigation at the moment as a class action lawsuit.

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.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
