Description of the problem	Well my wife was driving the van on the expressway way last year van just shuts off. It wouldnt start so i put my jumper cables on it and it fired right up a few days later we went to kmart in their for only a good 20 minutes the drive alone was about an hour and half come out and the battery was dead once aging. Go figure this was when kmart stopped selling bigger batteries. So i walked over to autozone and bought a new battery installed it and it started up. While we got home then had to leave aging to go get the kids from school the battery was dead know when i say dead through all of this i mean their was enough power to have the van doors open and lights on but not enough power to turn the engine over till it clicks. So hooked up to my truck jumped it. Seem to drive fine so we went back to autozone and they changed it out with the warranty and tested it they said it was a good battery but to be on safe side. Well i started to drive the van i had to get jumped 4 times before i started to disconnect the battery when it was warm out the battery would last but on the cold nights the battery would still die. So one day i said srew it i went to drive it and it just would start believe it or not i only took off the air filter thinking maybe it clogged while i did that and tried starting it it back fired out through the intake causing a fire on the air filter box put it out said hell with it it's going to the dodge dealer in wilkesboro nc i paid 1,700 to have the tipm replaced they said that's what was wrong with it so i said okay. Here it is a year later and now i am getting a little upset around the same time it went out last year and my van is starting to give me the same issues so i am going to hope that it isnt that but just to be on the safe side this is for last year and if i have to pay that price aging yes i'll be making a new complaint to
