October 8,2020 I was driving straight down hill on a city street in puyallup, wa when the car completely shut down without warning. I had no steering, brakes, or anyway to control the vehicle. I managed to coast into a nearby lowes hardware parking lot and ran into a barrier in order to stop. I was lucky there were no people or other cars in my path of travel when I entered as I was unable to stop. I called my insurer, geici, and arranged for the vehicle to be towed. Towing was performed by engels towing , puyallup, wa (253) 845-0034. Checking online I discovered that this is a known problem with the fuel pump and no recall has been issued. I believe that this is a serious safety issue. I, my family, or others could have been seriouly injured or killed.

Sliding passenger doors on both sides of van refuse to open or unlock. Doors cannot be opened manually, with key fob or with the button on the interior of the car. This prevents passengers in rear (usually children) from being able to exit the vehicle, which could be particularly dangerous in the event of a crash.

Van would turn over but not start. This continues to happen over and over. The dealership told me I needed a new tipm and fuel pump. But found out this is a very common problem, and they issued a recall for other vehicles with this same part. It is the fuel relay switch inside of tipm that goes bad. It seems the fuel pump is fine. I can buy a repair part very cheap. This is plastered all over online and I think this is a known problem and should be a recall!

Tipm is bad on vehicle, confirmed by rick keffer dodge chrysler jeep ram dealership in yulee, fl two years ago. Vehicle stalled on highway and then later would not start. Purchased a bypass cable in order to keep using the vehicle and while driving we get indicator lights flashing on dashboard such as brake on when it's not, seatbelt light on when seatbelts are buckled, lights flashing or staying on when turned off. This is a major safety issue !!! I have three kids, ages 13, 12, and 10 and this is our primary family vehicle. The tipm has already been recalled for other make and models with chrysler dodge jeep for 2011-2014 but not the grand caravans.

I have complaint regarding tipm but now my battery is drained and car won't turn on. When is dodge going to step in and help thousands of people with same problem before someone dies bc van turn off while driving and family sues? Why it has to take a tragic accident before dodge steps in? I'm sure am not the only one with children driving and still paying for this garbage van. I will never buy dodge again. Getting a lawyer.
