"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
2011 Chrysler Town and Country fuel system complaints
Page 3 of 5: complaints 41 to 70 of 110, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Tipm failure, dealership wants to charge me over $1000.00 to repair. Van started acting up in the electrical department . Windows rolling down, key fob not working, cruise control going out, wipers acting up, heated seats not working, AC and heat weakening, intermittent issue to start the van, then stopped running all together, now won't even turn over. Then I took it to dealership after having battery and alternator tested (all good) and had to bring it home cause they wouldn't take a payment plan. I looked on youtube for possible issues and fixes and checked my wiring to my tipm and found one harness tampered with. Tape cut and wires cut as well didn't look lik that when I took it in. I'm upset because I can't afford to replace something this expensive and common known issue. Why is there no recall on this model but other models running this same tipm? This is a cheap way for chrysler to get more money out of us. Make this a recall, I can only imagine what could've happened if it would've stalled with my 3 kids in the car on a highway!!! Get us a recall on this issue!!!!!
Van was having a hard time starting. Then one night I heard a humming noise when the car was off. Didn't know what it was. The next morning battery was at 0%. Charged the battery and got it to start. When starting we have to turn it to the on then off position a few times before I could get it to work. When I hear the humming of the fuel pump that is running when the key is out, I can put key in and turn it to on and off a few times and get it to stop. My shop said the tipm needed to be replaced. It is recalled on other vehicles but not our van. It was supposed to cost $710 to fix but the part number has now been superseded with the fixed and the now will cost $950 to fix. We should be paying for repairs for this when the same part has been recalled for other vehicles! I'm worried that the fuel pump relay will end up wearing out the fuel pump too which would cost another $600 to repair. I hope the company will do the right thing and fix this broken part for all vehicles they used it in!
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 40 MPH, the vehicle stalled and the etc warning indicator illuminated. The contact attempted to restart the vehicle approximately four times, but was unsuccessful. The vehicle was towed by aaa to autonation chrysler dodge jeep ram houston (1515 south loop west, houston, tx 77054, 713‑489‑7825) where it was diagnosed that the fuel pump relay failed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 217,000.
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.
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
Fuel pump will not shut off, runs continually until battery dies. The vehicle is parked and turned off however the fuel pump continues to run.
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.
Faulty fuel pump wiring system the tipm is no longer allowing the engine to realize their is fuel. It is not the fuel pump. There are so many websites that offer the service to re-manufacturer the tipm because of the ongoing issues. Why is their not a recall?
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.
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 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.
At first starting the van was intermittent you would have to wait till you heard the fuel pump turn on in order to start the vehicle because the fuel relay on the tipm board is going bad. Once you heard the fuel pump come on the van would start but there are times where the starter stays engaged and wants to keep trying to start when the van is running. Last weekend I was on the highway with my five year old daughter and the fuel pump shut off while driving( in motion), speed limit of 70,.I lost control of the steering, the van decelerated very quickly in heavy amount of traffic, I was nearly in a multi-car accident. When the van is shut off I am not sure the air bags will work if I had been involved in an accident. I have to unplug the fuse to the fuel pump every time I get out of the vehicle because the fuel pump keeps running draining my battery. I had to pay $200.00 to replace my battery. This has been a problem with dodge and chrysler for 10 years they know about it but it will take someone dying in order for them to recall all vehicles affected. I am afraid to drive my van because I feel in this current state it is unsafe because it has shut down because of the fuel relay on the tipm board.
My 2011 chrysler town & country quit while driving on hensil rd port orange, fl. Lost power steering and power brakes. Was able to pull to side of road. Found problem is fuel pump relay in the tipm is insufficient to carry the load. A recall was issued for 2011 durango and jeep grand cherokee, but not 2011 dodge caravan or chrysler t&c for the same problem.
The fuel pump regulator goes out and the whole computer system has to be replaced for 1100 plus dollars.
Van would not start, only crank and crank. Towed to repair shop and fuel pump was replaced. Next day van had starting problems again. Van was taken back to repair shop. Mechanic was unable to solve problem so van was towed to a chrysler dealership. The chrysler dealership was also unable to solve problem and van was returned back to me. Again the van would not start, I tried the tipm bypass idea found online. The van has ran ok since, only having troubles when very cold. The van only has 87000 miles and a very well maintained history. I am scared this van will fail and seriously hurt someone. The cost for a new tipm is very expensive and I don't know if this will even fix the problem. I have already spent $900 on a new fuel pump and have the same problems. Please help
The fuel pump relay inside the tipm (fuse box circuit board fuel pump relay) the vehicle would not start sometimes and died a few times out driving it out on the highway. I bought a new relay and had it solder in to my tipm and it works great now then a engine light came on and it say's it's not communication with my PCM then it's working again. Vehicle runs great now and starting. I hear chrysler 2011 town and country vans are having a lot of problems with the same issues but no recalls on the tipm box modules.
Summary: I believe that the tipm fuel pump relay is causing the issues. It has left the fuel pump on when the engine and power was off with the key out of the vehicle. It has many time cranked without starting, while stationary with the engine cold and also while hot. This morning it shut off while driving my kids to school it shutoff the engine while driving down the highway followed by cranking it was restarted. It failed to start after coming out of the school. I have seen that crysler recalled this part on durangos with the same engine and model year.
The fuel pump relay failed. The fuel pump relay is much smaller than the industry average, and the contacts overheated. The relay randomly failed multiple times while driving. The problem was intermittent, and the vehicle was functioning normally by the time it made it to a service facility for testing/repair. The relay on this particular design is integrated into the fuse box, which chrysler calls a totally integrated power module, or tipm. The design makes it prone to failure because of the size of the relay (too small for this application) as evidenced by the recall for jeeps that use the same wiring.
Tl* the contact owns a 2011 chrysler town and country. While driving at any speed, the vehicle slowed down and gradually accelerated. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and referred the contact to the dealer (cornerstone chrysler jeep dodge, elk river, mn, 763‑441‑2300) for diagnostic testing. The technician diagnosed that the fuel pump relay was faulty and was not under recall. The failure recurred and the vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 114,000.
Tl* the contact owns a 2011 chrysler town and country. While attempting to start the vehicle, it failed to operate. The vehicle was towed to autonation jeep (16300 w colfax ave, golden, co 80401) where it was diagnosed that the power train control module needed to be reprogrammed. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure persisted. While driving at an unknown speed, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was towed back to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the battery needed to be replaced. The battery was replaced twice, but the failure recurred. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to operate with the key, but not with the remote. The vehicle was towed to the same dealer where it was diagnosed that the instrument cluster panel and the fuel pump needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired but, when the technician tested the vehicle, it misfired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 92,000.
When the vehicle is turned off, the fuel pump continues to run and will not shut off. The problem is a faulty tipm - totally integrated power module.
Tipm (totally integrated power module) failure. Symptoms include fuel pump not running, or running irregularly. Vehicle will not start, vehicle stalls soon after starting. This part is common to several models and causes problems across model lines. It has since been redesigned, and the dealership is installing the "new" module in our vehicle at my expense.
From what I've researched my problem is with the tipm. Several months ago I started having problems with starting the vehicle. Push to start nor key would start the vehicle after several attempts. Then all of a sudden it would start. Dealer found no codes to diagnose and claimed they could not reproduce it. Dealer flashed something but did not make a difference. A month ago, the car stopped on a major highway, I was fortunate to be able to make it to the shoulder. Had it towed. Diagnosed as fuel pump getting no power. They replaced the fuel pump. Still having intermittent issues with starting. Now, with no warning the vehicle justs shuts down completely as if no power. Radio, everything goes dead for a fews seconds. Then radio, lights come on with no intervention. Car cranked up both times. Has done this twice in the last two weeks. Someone will get hurt or god forbid, killed if chrysler does not stop lying and take care of this defect. Consumer's should not be forced to pay to replace this part.
I was driving and the engine shuts off then I stopped and tty to restarted and fail. It has the fuel tank almost full, the starter was clinking but it was not running.
