Description of the problem	It started with my vehicle not starting intermittently. As the problem got worse at first we thought it may be the fuel pump. After extensive searching it was revealed to be a faulty tipm module that causes issues with the fuel system. I contacted dodge and they validated that they are aware of the problem. There has been recalls listed for most vehicles with this same module, however not for the dodge grand caravan, i do not understand why. The issue has now escalated. While driving in the pitch dark to work the vehicle started acting funny, then all power shut off, steering locked, fob locked in ignition, no lights, no blinkers, right in the middle of the road while driving. I had just dropped off my son so glad he wasn't with me. It seems the problem all goes back to the tipm which has been draining my battery and causing other electrical issues. This is a safety hazard. I contacted dodge and they refuse to do anything to help because my vehicle is "outside the warranty". I explained how this problem doesn't even start until approx. 70,000 miles(i'm currently at 60,000). Beyond that the warrant y was expired when i purchased it used from the dodge dealer 3 years ago. I've contacted dodge numerous times and no one of any stature will even talk to me since the caseworker called the case "closed" based on the warranty. I think this is immoral on the part of dodge being that this has been a persistent problem with theses modules that goes as far back as 2010, yet they continued to use it. I purchased this vehicle so my wife can move my child around safely, and am scared to even let her drive it. At the moment no one is driving it because it died on the road and smells like the electrical system was burning. I am currently looking for a way to fix this issue. The estimated cost of repair is around $2,000. 00.
