2011 Dodge GRAND CARAVAN Fuel Propulsion System Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1144377
Internal NHTSA #	10669335
Manufacurer	Chrysler (FCA US LLC)
Brand	DODGE
Model	GRAND CARAVAN
Model Year	2011
File date	24/12/14
Component	FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	For 1 month the vehicle was difficult to start. It would crank just fine, but the engine would not 'ignite' (especially when cold.) the vehicle would finally start after 5-10 long attempts (turning the engine over and over and then turning the key to the off position before trying again.) this difficult startup issue lasted for 4 weeks. At that point the vehicle began to stall after running for 10 - 20 minutes (sometimes while driving.) finally, after parking the vehicle one evening, the fuel pump continued to run after the engine was shut off and the key was removed. It wasn't noticed right away, so by morning the battery was completely dead. All my research indicated the fuel relay is faulty. But the relay is built into the tipm and there is no easy fix. This seems to be happening on all 2011 chrysler/dodge vehicles and there is even a recall on the dodge durango for the issue. This faulty tipm needs to be recalled and replaced. My local dealership has suggested that i get the relay 'fixed" using the fix mentioned in the durango recall. The service adviser suggested it would be around $400 (no guarantee) and that it would be reimbursed if the recall was extended to my make of vehicle at some point in the future. I'm worried that they are going to make it worse and wreck the tipm, which is a part that costs over $1000 (and hard to find.) i hope to update this complaint after the vehicle is 'fixed.' *js

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.
