Fuel pump continues to stay on when vehicle is off with no key in ignition. This is causing battery drain and hard starts after jumping battery. Car also is stalling at times while in motion. I have seen a recall for other males and models of same year from mopar vehicles, such as durango. It seems to be fuel pump relay in tipm.

Vechile stalls while driving with no waring. No instrument lights or hesitation. This now has happen to me 3 time. Speed ranging from 25-55 MPH. Was able to get the van into neturel and restarted while the van was coasting without power. It was a good thing I didnt have anyone following too closely. This is a very dangerous problem. Something needs done about this before someone has a very serious accident.

While vehicle is in drive, the car will stall and the vehicle will shut down. Everything including radio, air conditioner and panel shuts down. This happens multiple times without warning. I then have to turn the key to off then restart. It mostly happens when vehicle is making a turn.

I was in the driveway the first time acted like it was going to start then died all lights on panel lite up had towed to galeana dodge found it was the tipm module. Cost over $1,000 to fix. Tried talking to dodge corporate to try to get money back after noticing so many complaints and no help from them. Now my car is back in the shop with same issue, 3 weeks later. No loaner car available. My only vehicle. This time I was driving and the car stalled and then all the lights came on again. Waiting to hear what is this time sounds like the same thing again. Was told by corporate to post complaint here and maybe there would be recall that's all the help they offered. Wow way to keep customers dodge. The first time this happened was on 3/5/2016 the second time was on 4/4/2016.

2012 dodge caravan continually stalls while driving around on the highway. Usually happens when we come to a stop. Often, the vehicle runs rough and stalls after idling. The check engine light comes on repeatedly, nearly weekly then goes off after three successful starts. Have taken the van twice to lithia in medford to check and they located a recall on the header. The header was replaced but the problem persisted. The check engine has logged multiple "mis-fire" errors and no other errors. The problem, to this day, has not been located and thus they tell us there is nothing they can do. Meanwhile, we continue to have "mis-fire" errors and stall out in intersections all over the place. On the first visit, nearly two years ago now, lithia also disconnected the rear window controls for a recall. The part was not available and the vehicle was sent home. Just over a year ago we returned the vehicle to have the mis-fire problem checked and lithia stated they still did not have parts for our rear window recall. They told us they added us to the waiting list. Its been nearly two years, I've received my second notice on this recall and I still don't have control of my rear windows. I believe two years is very unreasonable to wait for a recall fix.

I have a dodge caravan 2012 and taking it in for several electrical issues. When it was sent to the dallas dodge in dallas, ga there was an issue with car killing two brand new batteries. Brought a third one and finally call to have it picked up so they could check it.he then called me and said it was the driver seat wiring systems and to fix it would by $500.00. I advised him if that was the issue and it would be working properly go ahead.I picked up my car and got it home. The next morning the battery was dead. So I had it sent back to them and they check it again and did not find anything. I got it back the next day which was a saturday after sitting there making sure they check everything. Basically they said the battery was dead and nothing was wrong. I told them if I had any issues I would bring it back on monday. I advised I will remove the battery cable to at least go to church the next day. When I got home from church I did not take cable off and battery died again. So on monday 8/17, I was at the dealership again. They said the put it on a computer system for several hours and only notice that my battery was have way drained. I still no answers to what caused it to drain. I notice that a motor in the rear area would not stop running. The car would completely turned off. No we notice that we having delays in starting the car like fuel is not get the engine. After a couple of minutes trying to start, it would stall out and then finally start. So again I had to take battery cable off until the next following monday - 8/24, I this time they advised me it was the timp module and it will cost me $1000 to fix it. Me and family don't feel safe in the car, now we are experiencing stalling while we are driving. This is not good service if you know there is an issue and there is a recall for this part.
