Vehicle is a 2011 Chrysler Town Country Touring L and has 68,000 miles on it. It is well maintained with no issues prior to compliant incident. While normal driving of vehicle emergency dash light system activated numerous safety warning lights i.e.: ABS, ESC, Engine light. My wife was travelling on a highway at 68 mph. Loss of drivability noted at the time included; loss of speedometer, abnormal shifting of transmission, loss of ABS and traction Control, Cruise Control and seat belt notification. The following day, I took the vehicle to repair dealership where I was notified that there was numerous codes showing up on scanner. PCM Codes included; c2200 Internal fault of ABS Module, U1110, U1120, P0501. Advised that I would lose numerous other systems not noted due to codes these included; electric rear doors inoperable while vehicle started, seat belt alarm system, rear parking system notification. Dealership advises that Chrysler company has put the sale of ABS modules part # 68089474AA on hold for over the last year, due to an Engineering review, and that no modules are available for sale. It was recommend that I "get rid of the vehicle". In doing internet searches this is a long running problem with numerous vehicles using this same ABS Module system. Due to the numerous safety systems this affects, the vehicles are unsafe without a recall to correct this manufacturer defective ABS Brake Module. I have had to setup an auxiliary GPS module to calculate speed and severely limit driving this vehicle during inclement weather. As of now normal braking remains unaffected but there. Public is at the mercy of the manufacturer as ABS modules are not for sale and have a retail value of over $1300.00 + install and dealer reprogramming. This is a severe safety issue and aligns with other current recalls of similar models with the same condition. You may contact me at anytime to discuss. I am a recently retire Chief of Police and a certified Accident Homicide Investigator.

Upon leaving work my battery (only installed for 3 months) was completely dead. After a co-worker jumped my van off I went straight to Advanced and had them check the battery. It showed something was still on/running however the keys were in my hand and absolutely nothing was on or plugged in. He went ahead and replaced my battery. The next day I went out on errands and it started fine. That evening I was taking my family out to dinner and it would not start. It would crank but not start. I put it in neutral and back into park and it did manage to start. The following morning I went out and it would only crank. It would not start and the lightening bolt symbol and check engine light came on. First we changed the throttle body sensor (as indicated by the light). It still wouldn't start. After I had it towed to a garage they said the TIPM was faulty and had caused the fuel pump to burn out. I have seen/read numerous other people saying this has happened to their vehicle as well. The exact same issues. This issue has cost me over $1,500 and I still haven't had the TIPM fixed yet. With as many complaints on the same issue there should be a recall on this since it is obviously a manufacturing issue.

My tipm is failing slowly. My starter is pulling way to many amps when starting. I've changed it twice. My fuel relay has failed. A lot of the times when I start my car I have an icon for my ABS sensor come on and the only way to get it off is to pull over and restart my car. When the light is on on my dash. My car won't drive over 60mph and my rpms will run high and when you let off the gas while it's doing this it will take you almost to a stop within seconds. My check engine light never goes off. And no matter how many times it gets tested and reset it comes back within hours. So my auto start never works. Sometimes when I start my car I can't get my seatbelt alarm to stop singing so I have to pull over and restart. It all leads back to this tipm (electronics board below the fuse box). I've had it priced at 1300$ to fix it. But turns out it's the most common issue with this year of this van. Please help!

Ever since we got the car, it has had problems. We knew that it was a used car but didn't expect all the problems. The check engine light turns on all the time and the radio stops working. Currently we are having problems with the fuel pump. We were told that that was the problem and there was a recall on the 2012 & 2013 grand cherokee relay pump. Also the radio seems to be failing again. We were wondering if you could check that and more since there seems to be more people with the same problems as us.

My van without warning started running rought in drive, shaking, engine light came on blinking fast took it to mechanic. It shows all cyclinders have severe misfiring issues. They can not figure out why and told me to take to chrysler dealership. This van runs crappy has no power to get to dealership. I was on a city street trying to drive 20 miles an hour it would not hardly move. I turned around and took it home it was fine up until this happened. This could have been something very dangerous if I was on a highway in heavy traffic.
