Description of the problem	Earlier 2008 to 2010 chrysler town & country and dodge grand caravans were experiencing an ignition problem with the (win) wireless ignition node module recall #14v-373, chrysler #r03. We noticed that an extra fobik could not be programmed on these vehicles because of a failure in the (win). These affected models were replaced under this recall. I now have a 2012 grand caravan that also has a non-responsive (win) (extra fobik can not be programmed) and will need to be replaced; however, this is nearly an identical unit to the 2008-2010 models and this is the same thing we experienced with the module loosing its communication. I suspect that it is a precursor to the same issue (win failure) and chrysler needs to replace these newer units as well. A complete failure of the ignition module could shut the vehicle off when it is going down the road. This problem they are having with newer ignition modules appears to be very similar to the earlier model. Its a potential hazard and an expensive fix that people could put off (don't have to program an extra fobik) and later have a bigger issues with a (win) failure that causes an engine shut-off condition going down the road.
