Description of the problem	Engine hard started for a couple of weeks, then it died while my wife was driving in our neighborhood. Mechanic said it was an issue with the fuel pump relay and rigged a bypass in the fuse box. All seemed to be working ok, but then the car died again about months later. Next time we started it, the dash lit up with all kinds of warning lights, the radio power went out, and the a/c was not working. We'll see if it is the same issue or another. The fuel pump relay in the tipm, according to account on internet forums, is a faulty part and has been recalled in other dodge/chrysler vehicles, but not the vw routan (which is a caravan/town & country clone for the most part). There are many complaints of this part being defective and people losing power while driving and it is a huge safety concern.
