Blind spot detection failure-blind spot lights on side mirrors will not turn off. Beeping inside the car will not stop. Failure engages regardless if the vehicle is stopped or moving and regardless of whether or not anything is in the blindspot. This should be a recall because it is a serious safety concern and there are several reports of failures listed online. There is no way to disengage the system either.

Vehicle displays code for tipm problem at the mechanics shop. I've put over $5,000 of repairs to finally get this code for the tipm. After extensive research I've found thre are many people with this same problem and similar vehicles with the same part have been recalled. To put a new tipm is going to cost another $1,300. Please a's a reputable company, I hope you will do the right thing and recall this issue on the vehicle. I have loved my van and was planning to upgrade to the pacifica. If this problem is not corrected I will no longer buy chrysler's products. With today's age of information im sie you are aware of the problem others are having, please urse this to your advantage and fix this difficult to diagnose and expensive problem. Vehicle starts after 7-10 attempts, happens intermittently. Will sometimes crank, sometimes nothing happens when you turn the key. I have to slam the gas to eventually get it to start, if it cranks. I've replaced the battery, starter, fuel pump, fuel injectors, done a full tune-up, removed the remote start and more without success.
"taka ta recall* my car sometimes jerks while driving or will cut off on me at any point I changed the spark plugs, the alternator, the thermostat because its was giving me a code that my thermostat was bad and also the fuel pump after changing all these things the car would stall and not cut on until I get someone to jump start my battery. So I then went and replaced the battery the car was working for a good couple of days and started back acting up. Took it to a shop and they said rhe fuel pump was still on while the car was off due to a relay in the power module so they said they will be able to just fix it but when trying to order the piece they said that was not possible due to its been a recall on the till which is the totally integrated power module but just not on my vehicle and it's not possible to change the relay because they have it attached to the power module and this is something that happen with the maufacuter so you will have to contact them so they can help you with it. But now I'm afraid to drive it because it keeps and sometimes just caught right off anywhere due to the totally integrated power module
On friday morning, my wife went to start the van but none of the lights turned on. After checking the voltage of the battery, we found that it was completely drained. The night before, she heard a humming noise coming from the rear of the vehicle after the van was off. We were able to jump the van to get it started. Once it started, it ran great. The next day, we tried to start it again but this time the engine struggled to start. It took a couple of tries before we got it started. Jumping the engine did not have positive results. We decided to take it to our auto mechanic and he diagnosed a faulty fuel pump relay. He found that faulty fuel relays are very common in 2011-2013 vehicles, but jeep grand cherokee and dodge durangos were the only vehicles recalled and fitted with an external relay. I am submitting this complaint in hopes of issuing a recall for all vehicles affected, more specifically, the 2011 chrysler town and country. Below is a link to a website designed specifically for this issue. Https://www.verticalvisions.com/tipm-fuel-relay-solutions.html
Fuel pump remains running after ignition switch is turned off. This situation has been recalled in other chrysler models and should be applied to the town & country. Any time you cannot shut the fuel pump off you have a very hazardous condition. This incident first took place 10/01/2018 and has continued to do so ever since. This condition applies to the tipm, chrysler dealer wants $ 1200.00 to fix.
Tl* the contact owns a 2011 chrysler town and country. While driving 25 MPH, the vehicle stalled. The contact was able to restart the vehicle. An independent mechanic diagnosed that the totally integrated power module needed to be replaced. All star dodge chrysler jeep ram (located at 11503 st charles rock rd, bridgeton, mo 63044, (314) 291-2050) was contacted. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified. The approximate failure mileage was 150,000.
Tl* the contact owns a 2011 chrysler town and country. While driving various speeds, the air conditioner turned on and off intermittently. The contact also stated that both rear doors would not open. The vehicle was taken to larry h. Miller chrysler jeep dodge ram sandy (10905 auto mall dr, sandy, ut 84070, 801‑590‑0465) where it was diagnosed that the electrical and totally integrated power modules were fractured. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 105,000.
To begin with vehicle would start after, sometimes until after several attemps. It also stopped while driving, just went dead and locked up the whole steering wheel, with the vehicle still rolling. Was just lucky to get off the roadway with no accident. Progressively it got worse, and wouldn't even start at all. Took to reputable repair shop, who said was a recall issue and they weren't able to order the part for repair, because of recall. Informed had to go to dealer for repair. Dealer said this particular VIN was not on recall although issue had been identified as recall issue. Meanwhile, charged me $1275.83 for repair listing "cause - no power at fuel pump check no power fuse m25, fuse m25 controlled by internal relay in tpim". Fuse m25 needs tpim was $207.81. Then "tipm kit tipm" was $977.00. Plus labor and tax. Problem - both indicated this type of vehicle had same issues and were on recall. It is reasonable to expect that my vehicle should have been covered under recall. Please help me recover on this issue.
My car won't turn on. This problem started on 11/12/18. It would turn on then when I would turn it off and tried to get it start it would crank, but not all the way. I would shut it off and then crank it many times till it turned on. Three different mechanics came to check the problem and all three mechanics told me that it was fuel pump relay. Unfortunately the fuel pump relay can't be replace because it does not have external relay. These type of vehicle are equipped with integrated power module. It's a very common problem on jeeps grand cherokee, dodge durango and chrysler town and country, but only recall has made for jeep grand cherokee. I would to know if there would be any recall for this problem. Otherwise it will coast over $1000 for a new tipm.
Repeated intermittent no crank/no start issue. Found no power to fuse 25 in total integrated power module (tipm). Found internal failure of fuel pump relay (built into tipm). Tipm replaced at 65,000 miles and issue is currently reoccurring again at 84,000 miles.
First issue is the back up camera and blind spot sensors quit working. Very costly price to have fixed so chose not to fix. Now it doesn't want to start. Did some research and it looks like chrysler had some recalls for the tipm on different makes from 2011, but not on this particular vehicle. How do they know for sure that they all shouldn't have been recalled. Also side passenger door buzzes when you lock or unlock the vehicle. Will never buy another chrysler again. Very disappointed in all the issues we have had with this vehicle.
The vehicle will randomly shut off right after starting, still in park. No warning. It has also stalled out while driving in traffic.
Vehicle started sometimes but not other times leaving me stranded alone ....had to have the tipm replaced for over $1500......researched on line to find out that this has been a problem for chrysler owners for years! But it seems chrysler had not recalled the vehicles
Car would not start when parked in the driveway, had it towed to mechanic. They first said that the fuel pump needed replaced, then after replacing this part, they stated that the totally integrated power module also needed replaced. After 5 days without our vehicle and paying thousands of dollars, we are furious. I have been reviewing this problem with this vehicle and it appears to be a problem for many, many people, but nothing is being done by chrysler. This is the exact issue as part of "safety recall r09 / the federal safety agency 15v‑115 fuel pump relay". The town and country was excluded from this recall despite using the exact same part and having the exact same issues.
Car will not start, will not stay started, or shuts off while driving. Or... The fuel pump will stick "on" while the car is off. This is due to the faulty integrated relays in the totally integrated power module failing. This is the exact issue as part of "safety recall r09 / the federal safety agency 15v‑115 fuel pump relay". The town and country was excluded from this recall despite using the exact same part and having the exact same issues. I would like to have the proper parts put into my car for safety reasons. The dealer wants to put the faulty parts back into the car after charging me a lot of money to fix this obvious safety issue that should have been recalled with the others.
Since july my van will periodically not start, no rhyme or reason. It acts like it will start air comes on, etc. Sometimes it will start after attempt 4 or 5 or sometimes a whole day. I have been stranded multiple times, but every time I have taken to dealership and I have taken to 3 they can't duplicate. I have video proof of what happens but no one will help me. Contacted chrysler but no help there. I am paying for a vehicle that strands me. I tried to attach a video but they are too long so I added a photo
On two separate occasion the car turned off while driving. , another time I return to discover all the windows were down, another occasion the tire pressure sensor came on stating that the tires were flat . And last but no least shortly thereafter the car refuse to start
We started having issues with my van a couple months ago. Thought it was the fuel pump, so we replaced it. Still had problems. But much worse! Van wouldn't start. And 3.5 hours later my fuel pump was still running. Did some further looking into it. Come to find out the tipm needs replaced (or just the relay). So looking into the system more, the tipm has caused the starter to not start. It is sitting in my garage until we can get the tipm work done. Not very safe. Very mad! I still owe money on this car and now we dont have a car big enough for the family. I will never buy chrysler cars again!!! This has been the worst 7 months with this car!!!!
Our chrysler town and country started dying while going down the road, not starting at times, and causing a wide array of concerns including seat belt lights coming and going, air bag lights coming and going, fuel pump staying engaged after shutting off. This can happen at any random time. It was determined to be another fault tipm module in the vehicle, something that has been replaced before even.
2011 town & country 38,000 miles tipm replacement failure shut off fuel pump, defective fuel pump relay in module would not start, vehicle was stationary
I was driving the vehicle and all the lights on the dash came on and then went black, the van shut off while driving and I was almost hit by a big truck. The van will not start nor hold charge. Thae battery and altnator test good but it wont start. I have had it towed twice in less than a month and honestly cant afford to keep getting stranded. I purchased the vehicle in august of 2016 and this is our family vehicle, at this point I dont have transportation for my job and wouldn't feel safe driving it if it did run. So now im paying for a vehicle that doesn't run and frankly is a saftey hazzard. My husband is disabled and this was our transportation to and from his appointments as well. I have seen and read that thousands are having the same issue with chrysler and still no recall. Someone please help.
Fuel pump relay not operating properly. Used to not operate fuel pump upon first start up. Now fuel pump will not shut off even with key out of ignition. Sounds like tipm issue. Constantly running fuel pump is very dangerous situation.
Car stalled while driving 40 MPH,and will not start,tipm is defective,the internal fuel pump relay has failed,the vehicle is a 2011 chrysler town and country with 59000 miles
My fuel pump stays on when the vehicle is off due to a malfunction of the total integrated power module (tipm). This appears to be a common problem with these vehicles. We have had to change the battery several times. This started happening about a year-and-a-half ago (spring 2017)
Gauge cluster begins to flicker and guaguas begin to spazz out. Vehicle then shuts down while driving. No issues with battery or alternator.
My chrysler town and country began having what I thought was a minor turn signal issue. After replacing the bulb and that not correct the issue my mechanic replaced the fuses and that did not solve the issue. I was then told that my tipm box/system was bad. That an $800.00 part to fix a signal turn signal. Well it had to be replaced in order to pass inspection in order to continue driving the vehicle. So I replaced it. Fast forward 1 year later and my vehicle begins to intermittently spudder when coming to a complete stop. I then began to completly shut off at times after highway driving over a distance of 5 or more miles when I exit and stop or slow down after exiting the highway. When I took it to the shop, they test drove the vehicle and it stalled on the highway during their test drive diagnostic. They had to get assistance to get the vehicle out of the road. They then told me that only the dealership can correct the tipm system.
Tl* the contact owns a 2011 chrysler town and country. While driving approximately 25 MPH, the engine suddenly shut off. After restarting the vehicle, the temperature gauge increased and decreased and the engine would continue to shut off. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the engine was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. Also, the contact stated that other electrical failures previously occurred, such as the passenger side sliding door would buzz and the windows malfunctioned. The local dealer (golling chrysler, 2405 s. Telegraph rd., west bloomfield, mi) was unable to determine the cause of the failures. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 160,000.
Takata recall I have been having an issue with my car not starting for over a year. I've replaced 2 starters and still having the same issue. I have taken my car to the chrysler dealership in woodriver, il and spent almost 400.00 and the issue still isn't fixed. They are the dealership and they can't even give me an answer or resolve what the real issue is. I can't keep taking my vehicle in and having it worked on. I think they know its the tipm. I will never buy another chrysler again. I have 2 children and I'm scared every time I have them in the car. We bought this van to accommodate our family and also for road trip. We can't even do that anymore because we can't trust the van to go long distances let alone the grocery store. How has this not been recalled or addressed?
My town and country has stalled while driving many many times. It always happens while I am driving. The very first time it happened was on dec 2, 2017. I have taken it to 3 different mechanics, most recently the dealership. One of my mechanics initially told me they thought it was the tipm and that chrysler has a known issue about this problem but have not recalled it or fixed the issue. My car also at times does not crank properly. I insert the key and turn it to the right and hold it as if I am starting the car. Silence and nothing happens for about 10 seconds and then it finally cranks up. This is very dangerous as I have only one vehicle and 2 kids that I drive to and from school every day. I am always in panic mode when driving the car. I am always scared because I know it can shut off at any given time.
Tl* the contact owns a 2011 chrysler town and country. On several occasions, the heating, air conditioning system, and the windshield wipers independently activated. The vehicle was taken to golling chrysler dodge jeep ram (2405 s telegraph rd, bloomfield hills, mi 48302, (248) 334-3600) where it was diagnosed that the totally integrated power module needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 80,000.
