| Description of the problem | I purchased my 2011 grand caravan in july 2012 an have had several problems with it ever since. There have been multiple instances of the engine stalling while driving and/or my vehicle not starting. I have since troubleshot this down to the fuel pump relay being faulty in the tipm. I have also had issues of un-commanded opening and closing of the rear sliding doors while parked. I also get an random flicker of the airbag light on dash with audio tone. These issues were discussed with a mechanic at the local dodge dealership when having a recall performed on the "misfire" issue. I was told that the software was updated and i should not have any more issues. That has definitely not been the case. One of the above mentioned issues occurs on a weekly if not daily basis. I do not feel safe putting my family in this vehicle! |
