Hello, I own a 2010 dodge caravan. Sunday april 19, 2015 I was driving towards las vegas from kingman, az at night when suddenly my headlights turn off. Keep in mind I have my 3 kids with me, ages 8,9 and 10. I turned back around after driving over 40 miles, using only my fog lights that provide 40-50 feet of visibility. I cautiously drive home almost in the dark, made it home and googled this problem. Looks like a tipm issue from what I gathered. So in the morning my vehicle doesn't start. I called my local dodge dealer, they aren't aware of a recall on this and has never heard this before. Additionally they want $110 to tell me what's wrong with my vehicle. So I had my vehicle towed to martin swanty hyundai to diagnose the problem for free, and I spent $111 on what they said was a bad positive battery terminal connection. Well, got it home, the headlights worked again. Next day, it's night time again and guess what, no headlights again! Looks like it wasn't the battery connection, still having the famous tipm m.o. This is clearly not the first vehicle to have this problem. I see this is a class action lawsuit that dodge and chrysler are sweeping under the rug. So now I have a family of 5 (soon to be 6) to support, and drive around in my family vehicle with no headlights and this is not a recall yet with dodge? And you want me to spend over $1000 to get it fixed just to put another faulty part in my van again? I have my family to feed, not $1000 to feed into my car that's only 5 years old and paid off. I was told by my local dodge dealer to call chrysler at 1‑800‑334‑9200 and spoke with a representative that said that they will not offer a complementary diagnosis, I would need to pay another $110 to have it looked at to diagnose what is wrong. I asked them if they were familiar with this issue and they said they were not.

My van, on at least 5 occasions has had the radio cut out, the windows not be able to open, and the worst no wipers, radio, lights in or outside, heat, defroster for the vehicle during a down pour. Getting off the road meant I had to open the window and stick my head out in the rain all while I try to cross a busy milwaukee intersection and pull the vehicle over, turn off the engine and then restart it. Nothing else will work.
I took my van to the dealer because the windows would either roll down on their own and the switch on the door worked sometimes. I purchased a battery for my key fob because the doors would not lock or unlock all the time. The dealer fixed the recall switch for the vent windows, and I was charged $4.03, $400.00, labor and total of $179.56 in parts. They did not offer a loaner car while my van was being worked on. I had to pay 82.00 for a rental. I had 3 quarters of a tank of gas when I dropped it off, and when I got the vehicle back it was a little under the 1/2 mark and no one offered to replace it. The dealer did take $200.00 off, and I was told that they did it because I was a good customer. Well, I don't think good customers should be treated this way. The windows and mirrors do work now, however; they must have broke something else because my side doors will not lock, they changed the battery in the key fob and it still does not work. I've had problems where as the front windows would go down 1/2 way on their own. I have read where there have been numerous reports about the windows going down on their own and it would seem to me that this is were the problem stemmed from. The windows go down whenever they want to and moisture gets in side the vehicle and causes this type of problem. I called the dealership back on 3/13/2015 and no one answered and I could not leave a message. I called back on 3/15/2015 and spoke with a very nice young lady named [xxx] and she says they would not have a loaner until thursday, 3/18/2015 even though they have a relationship with the enterprise rent a car company. What am I looking for?? I am expecting to be reimbursed for the $381.55. I feel strongly that this was a factory issue and the dodge chrysler jeep dealer should be responsible for all charges, including the money spent on a rental car.

The dealership in dothan, alabama has refused to repair this recall. The excuse that they are waiting on approval and parts has been used several times. Someone has to take immediate action.
There is a recall on the rear quarter window switch that may overheat . I received the letter on thursday and by sunday my door caught on fire, now not only the switch must be replaced and I suppose all wiring and rest of the switches and the door interior panel should be change because of damage. I called the recall center and after two days I'm still waiting for a call with instructions as to what to do not to mention the scare me and my wife got and the expenses it will cost me because I need to rent a car until the issue is resolved.
My van has repeatedly stopped while driving, approximately 10 times from november 2014 to january 2, 2014. I lose all power steering and brakes without warning and have to carefully get myself to the side of the road. This is a very dangerous situation and scares me especially when my family is in the van with me. In all instances I have been lucky and have only been going 20-40 MPH and has been in places that I'm able to get over easily. The next time I may not be so lucky. When I get pull over I put the van in park, turn the key to off and restart with no problems. I had the van in the dealership for an entire day with no luck. They took it out several times and could not get it to recur. They did some updating on the computer system. They checked all kinds of things out and everything was coming back alright. They also could not see any codes that there was a problem. I did not have it occur again for almost 2 weeks in the shop so I thought maybe it worked, however on jan. 2, 2014, it occurred again. This problem really concerns me especially after recently reading how often this has happened to other people with the same vehicle.
Since 2013 my dodge grand caravan has failed to start on numerous occasions. It will work ok when suddenly you turn the key and the dash lights come on but the engine will not turn over. A dodge dealer changed the battery but the problem has persisted. Sometimes you can turn the key to on shift into drive and back into park and it will start. Sometimes you can shift into neutral and it will start. Other times neither of these fixes work. Researching this problem shows it has long been a longterm problem with dodge and chrysler covering several year models. Numerous people have reported starters, batteries, tipm modules, win modules, fobs and neutral safety switkennethches (transmission range sensors) being replaced with no relief from the problem. Chrysler and dodge dealerships are unable to diagnose the problem and correct it. It has left us stranded in both cold an hot weather sometimes with our 3 small grandchildren in the vehicle. I feel that the safety issue of this problem is something the manufacturer should be required to identify and correct.

While driving on the highway in north east florida, I drove into a very heavy thunderstorm. Tried to turn on wipers and nothing happened. I was traveling in the center lane and could not move off the road. My visibility was reduced to zero... I could not see past the windshield. I was forced to slow down rapidly causing panic with traffic behind me. I had to drive using my 2 side mirrors to guide me and only knowing that I was in between the 2 white lane stripes. I eventually made it to the side of the road but could not proceed until the rain stopped. 2 weeks later, I was on official travel and the exact same thing happened again, almost causing an accident. The dealership service shop changed the wiper motor costing $450 on the first repair. Now they are saying that it is the "tipm, totally integrated power module", which will for the part alone cost nearly $1000. The dealership will not credit the first repair that they charged and got wrong and it has been 6 days on this repair and they still do not have the part needed. I did do some research and found that the tipm has pending lawsuits and controls many items in the vehicle that could cause a major safety issue. Recommend staying away from these vehicles with tipm issues. Recommend also that gsa get a refund on the first repair.
Headlights unexpectedly go out. Do not come back for a few days sometime a month. Happens when you are driving at night sometimes they just wont come on when turned on. When stuck with out headlights have to drive home with fog lights. Very dangerous.

Headlights would not come on after dark. Car had to be towed. This has happened on numerous occasions, where the headlights do come on then go off. Very unsafe!! It was returned to the dealer after the first incident to fix, but it has happened again repeatedly. Now we have to take it back to the dealer for a $700 fix. Unsat!!
Upon starting the dodge caravan se 2010 I closed both power passenger doors with my children in safety belts, upon entering the drivers side my child asked me to turn on the overhead lights so that she could find something that dropped on the floor with the drivers door opened, and the vehicle running I turned on the overhead lights only to have both power passenger doors open on their own. I was able to replicate this error a number of times under similar conditions, and am unable to pin point a cause. This could be a large safety defect. What if this was to happen while traveling at highway speeds ? This issue could cause a minor passenger to be ejected from the vehicle. I ask for a recall / investigation.

2010 dodge caravan. Consumer writes in regards to vehicle electrical problems. *smd in august 2012, while traveling at night, all the of the driving lights went out on the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where a diagnostic test revealed, the headlamp switch needed to be replaced. In october 2012, while driving again at night, all of the lights went out. After taking the vehicle back to the dealer it was noted that at times the lights would work intermittently. They determined through diagnostics testing it again needed a headlamp switch as well as an integrated power module. Since the lights were operational at that time, the consumer was informed to continue driving and the necessary parts would be ordered. The first week of november while driving, the lights went out again. The consumer returned to the dealer, where she was given a loaner vehicle, which she had for 10 days, because the parts had not arrived. On friday october 4, 3013, while driving, all of the electrical power controlling the turn signals, air conditioning, power windows, radio, windshield wipers, etc. Stopped working. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where they discovered the vehicle needed an ignition switch. The consumer was informed, it was an apparent problem with the 2010 models. The dealer informed the consumer, there was a shortage of parts, as the company that manufactured it, had gone out of business.
