| Description of the problem | Van won't start several time a week because of a faulty t. I. P. M. Dodge knows about this problem and won't warranty it because they have not been forced to recall this part/problem. My wife use's this van for her job and is in some bad neighborhoods and is scared someone will hurt her and she can't get away because van won't start. There are several places on the internet that rebuilds these t. I. P. M.'s because of known problems. Dodge even has a bypass to the fuel pump as an aftermarket part to fix some of these issues but not all of the problems. The fuel pump relay has intermittent power to the relay and that is causing the no start problem. The internet has page after page's of customer complaints that has had or having this problem. This happens all times during the day when stationary. Van can work perfect then we stop and get out and a few minutes later we get back in and van cranks but won't start. |
