MY WIFE AND I HAVE BEEN HAVING THE SAME ISSUE FOR MONTHS. WE WOULD GO TO START THE VEHICLE, SOME DAYS IT WOULD START SOME DAYS IT WOULD JUST CRANK BUT WOULDN'T TURN OVER. EVENTUALLY MY BATTERY DIED. REPLACED THE BATTERY, AND NOTICED THAT AFTER THE CAR WAS SHUT OFF AND THE KEY WAS OUT OF THE IGNITION, THE FUEL PUMP WOULD CONTINUE TO RUN. AS A MECHANIC THIS HAD ME INTRIGUED. PULLED THE FUEL PUMP FUSE AND THE PUMP SHUT OFF, WHEN I PUT THE FUSE BACK IN THE PUMP DID NOT RE ENGAGE. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE FUEL PUMP RUNNING. WE CONTINUE STILL TO HAVE THE ISSUE WITH THE CAR NOT STARTING OR THE FUEL PUMP DRAINING THE BATTERY. AFTER FURTHER INVESTIGATION AND RESEARCH. I AM NOW SEEING THAT IT IS A TIPM ISSUE. THIS SAME MODULE HAS BEEN RECALLED FROM DODGE AND JEEP, I REALLY DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY IT HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED FOR THE CHRYSLER. I DO KNOW THAT I HAVE TWO SMALL CHILDREN AND A TINY WIFE, SO IF IT FAILS DURING OPERATION, IT COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY TO MY FAMILY. I WILL BE PAYING THE $1,000 TO GET IT FIXED, BUT WILL BE EXPECTING A REFUND CHECK FROM CHRYSLER WHEN THIS THING KILLS SOMEONE.

Owner reports filed with NHTSA about this vehicle, newest first and reproduced as filed. They are unverified accounts: one proves nothing, and a pattern across many is the thing worth reading. Back to the full 2011 record →
FAULTY FUEL PUMP RELAY THE VEHICLE WILL SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING AND IT WILL STAY ON WHILE KEY IS OFF AND KILL BATTERY
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF, THE FUEL PUMP MOTOR CONTINUED TO RUN UNTIL THE BATTERY WAS DRAINED. THE CONTACT HAD TO CONSTANTLY DISCONNECT THE FUSE TO THE PUMP TO KEEP FROM PURCHASING A NEW BATTERY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED EVERY DAY FOR THE PAST TWENTY DAYS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DETERMINED THAT THE TOTAL POWER CONTROL MODULE FAILED AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 82,299.
BOTH DRIVER SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE BLIND SPOT WARNING LIGHTS STAY ON WHEN TURNED ON. THEY WILL NOT WORK NO MATTER IF I'M PARKED OR DRIVING. THE DEALERSHIP WANTS TO CHARGE ME $3,156.00 PLUS TAX FOR TWO BAD SENSORS AND CORRODED HARNESS. I'M SEEING THIS COMPLAINT ON THE INTERNET AND WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A RECALL. MY VAN IS JUST ABOUT TO TURN 70,000 MILES SO I DO NOT SEE HOW THE PROBLEM COULD COME FROM ME.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE, IT FAILED TO START. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED TO BE CRANKED MULTIPLES TIMES IN ORDER TO OPERATE. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. IN ADDITION, WHILE ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE, THE DEFROSTER FAILED TO OPERATE AND NUMEROUS WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE GROUND WIRE DEFROST CIRCUIT NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START.

THE VAN STARTED HAVING ISSUES WITH SENSORS. LAST WEEK THE VAN DID NOT START. I HAD TO GET A JUMP AND IT RAN FINE FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS. YESTERDAY I HAD A NEW BATTERY INSTALLED AS I THOUGHT THIS WAS THE PROBLEM AND THE BATTERY IN THE VAN WAS OVER THREE YEARS OLD. THE VAN REFUSED TO START AFTER INSTALLING THE NEW BATTERY, WE TESTED THE BATTERY AND IT WAS GOOD. HAD TO GET A JUMP AND BRING IT TO MY MECHANIC. I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE AN ALTERNATOR PROBLEM. AFTER VARIOUS TESTS HE FOUND IT WAS THE TIMP AND NEEDS A FUEL RELAY BYPASS INSTALLED BECAUSE CHRYSLER HAS KNOWN ISSUES WITH THE TIMP IN THEIR MINI VANS. $159 FOR THE NEW BATTERY AND IT WILL BE $675 FOR THE BYPASS. I DID RESEARCH ONLINE AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM.
AS WE DRIVE THE VAN WILL SHUT OFF. WE EXPERIENCE LOSS OF POWER STEERING, BRAKES, AND ALL OTHER FUNCTIONS. IT WILL HAPPEN ON THE HIGHWAY AND CITY STREETS. BOTH LOW AND HIGH SPEEDS. IT HAS PUT ME AND MY FAMILY AT GREAT DANGER! IT HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. REGARDLESS OF FUEL LEVELS, OR OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE. WE HAVE HAD IT IN OUR LOCAL DEALERSHIP MANY TIMES, WITH NO RESOLUTION.
BLIND SPOT DETECTION FAILURE-BLIND SPOT LIGHTS ON SIDE MIRRORS WILL NOT TURN OFF. BEEPING INSIDE THE CAR WILL NOT STOP. FAILURE ENGAGES REGARDLESS IF THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED OR MOVING AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER OR NOT ANYTHING IS IN THE BLINDSPOT. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL BECAUSE IT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN AND THERE ARE SEVERAL REPORTS OF FAILURES LISTED ONLINE. THERE IS NO WAY TO DISENGAGE THE SYSTEM EITHER.
FUEL PUMP RELAY GAVE OUT AND UNLIKE THE DURANGO AND GRAND CHEROKEE IT'S NOT ON RECALL IT'S ALSO 1000 DOLLAR PART THAT THEY KNOW IS BAD, IT STOPPED WORKING FOR ME ON THE HIGHWAY HAD TO COAST TO THE ICY SHOULDER AND SLIPPED INTO THE DITCH ALMOST FLIPPED BECAUSE SINCE THE ENGINE WASN'T ON NEITHER WAS THE POWER STEERING
VEHICLE DISPLAYS CODE FOR TIPM PROBLEM AT THE MECHANICS SHOP. I'VE PUT OVER $5,000 OF REPAIRS TO FINALLY GET THIS CODE FOR THE TIPM. AFTER EXTENSIVE RESEARCH I'VE FOUND THRE ARE MANY PEOPLE WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM AND SIMILAR VEHICLES WITH THE SAME PART HAVE BEEN RECALLED. TO PUT A NEW TIPM IS GOING TO COST ANOTHER $1,300. PLEASE A'S A REPUTABLE COMPANY, I HOPE YOU WILL DO THE RIGHT THING AND RECALL THIS ISSUE ON THE VEHICLE. I HAVE LOVED MY VAN AND WAS PLANNING TO UPGRADE TO THE PACIFICA. IF THIS PROBLEM IS NOT CORRECTED I WILL NO LONGER BUY CHRYSLER'S PRODUCTS. WITH TODAY'S AGE OF INFORMATION IM SIE YOU ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM OTHERS ARE HAVING, PLEASE URSE THIS TO YOUR ADVANTAGE AND FIX THIS DIFFICULT TO DIAGNOSE AND EXPENSIVE PROBLEM. VEHICLE STARTS AFTER 7-10 ATTEMPTS, HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY. WILL SOMETIMES CRANK, SOMETIMES NOTHING HAPPENS WHEN YOU TURN THE KEY. I HAVE TO SLAM THE GAS TO EVENTUALLY GET IT TO START, IF IT CRANKS. I'VE REPLACED THE BATTERY, STARTER, FUEL PUMP, FUEL INJECTORS, DONE A FULL TUNE-UP, REMOVED THE REMOTE START AND MORE WITHOUT SUCCESS.
"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
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!
MY CAR WILL NOT START AND IT IS BECAUSE THE TIPM HAS STOPPED WORKING ON THE CAR. I HAVE ANOTHER BUDDY WITH A 2010 T&C AND THE SAME THING IS GOING ON. PART IS ON BACKORDER 3 WEEKS SO LOTS OF PEOPLE MUST BE HAVING THE ISSUE. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY TOLD ME THEY CAN DO NOTHING FOR ME AND SHOULD CONTACT YOU. THE CAR CRANKS WHEN I PUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION AND TURN. THE CAR IS STOPPED AND COLD. IT CRANKS BUT DOES NOT TURNOVER. I HAVE ALREADY REPLACED THE BATTERY
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
THE BLIND SPOT DETECTION SYSTEM HAS FAILED. THERE'S A CONTINUED DINGING THAT IS LINDICATING THE FAILED OF THE SYSTEM - THIS SYSTEM CANNOT BE TURNED OFF. AND THE COST TO REPLACED THE FAULTY COMPUTER MODULE IS $800.00 EACH AND BOTH COMPUTERS HAVE FAILED. NOTE: WE CANNOT DRIVE THE VEHICULAR WITH THE DINING GOING OFF.
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 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THAT THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. ALL STAR DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM (LOCATED AT 11503 ST CHARLES ROCK RD, BRIDGETON, MO 63044, (314) 291-2050) WAS CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150,000.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE AIR CONDITIONER TURNED ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT BOTH REAR DOORS WOULD NOT OPEN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LARRY H. MILLER CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM SANDY (10905 AUTO MALL DR, SANDY, UT 84070, 801-590-0465) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ELECTRICAL AND TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULES WERE FRACTURED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 105,000.
TO BEGIN WITH VEHICLE WOULD START AFTER, SOMETIMES UNTIL AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPS. IT ALSO STOPPED WHILE DRIVING, JUST WENT DEAD AND LOCKED UP THE WHOLE STEERING WHEEL, WITH THE VEHICLE STILL ROLLING. WAS JUST LUCKY TO GET OFF THE ROADWAY WITH NO ACCIDENT. PROGRESSIVELY IT GOT WORSE, AND WOULDN'T EVEN START AT ALL. TOOK TO REPUTABLE REPAIR SHOP, WHO SAID WAS A RECALL ISSUE AND THEY WEREN'T ABLE TO ORDER THE PART FOR REPAIR, BECAUSE OF RECALL. INFORMED HAD TO GO TO DEALER FOR REPAIR. DEALER SAID THIS PARTICULAR VIN WAS NOT ON RECALL ALTHOUGH ISSUE HAD BEEN IDENTIFIED AS RECALL ISSUE. MEANWHILE, CHARGED ME $1275.83 FOR REPAIR LISTING "CAUSE - NO POWER AT FUEL PUMP CHECK NO POWER FUSE M25, FUSE M25 CONTROLLED BY INTERNAL RELAY IN TPIM". FUSE M25 NEEDS TPIM WAS $207.81. THEN "TIPM KIT TIPM" WAS $977.00. PLUS LABOR AND TAX. PROBLEM - BOTH INDICATED THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE HAD SAME ISSUES AND WERE ON RECALL. IT IS REASONABLE TO EXPECT THAT MY VEHICLE SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED UNDER RECALL. PLEASE HELP ME RECOVER ON THIS ISSUE.
MY CAR WON'T TURN ON. THIS PROBLEM STARTED ON 11/12/18. IT WOULD TURN ON THEN WHEN I WOULD TURN IT OFF AND TRIED TO GET IT START IT WOULD CRANK, BUT NOT ALL THE WAY. I WOULD SHUT IT OFF AND THEN CRANK IT MANY TIMES TILL IT TURNED ON. THREE DIFFERENT MECHANICS CAME TO CHECK THE PROBLEM AND ALL THREE MECHANICS TOLD ME THAT IT WAS FUEL PUMP RELAY. UNFORTUNATELY THE FUEL PUMP RELAY CAN'T BE REPLACE BECAUSE IT DOES NOT HAVE EXTERNAL RELAY. THESE TYPE OF VEHICLE ARE EQUIPPED WITH INTEGRATED POWER MODULE. IT'S A VERY COMMON PROBLEM ON JEEPS GRAND CHEROKEE, DODGE DURANGO AND CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY, BUT ONLY RECALL HAS MADE FOR JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. I WOULD TO KNOW IF THERE WOULD BE ANY RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. OTHERWISE IT WILL COAST OVER $1000 FOR A NEW TIPM.
REPEATED INTERMITTENT NO CRANK/NO START ISSUE. FOUND NO POWER TO FUSE 25 IN TOTAL INTEGRATED POWER MODULE (TIPM). FOUND INTERNAL FAILURE OF FUEL PUMP RELAY (BUILT INTO TIPM). TIPM REPLACED AT 65,000 MILES AND ISSUE IS CURRENTLY REOCCURRING AGAIN AT 84,000 MILES.
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.
THE VEHICLE WILL RANDOMLY SHUT OFF RIGHT AFTER STARTING, STILL IN PARK. NO WARNING. IT HAS ALSO STALLED OUT WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC.
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.
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
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 / NHTSA 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 / NHTSA 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?
SINCE JULY MY VAN WILL PERIODICALLY NOT START, NO RHYME OR REASON. IT ACTS LIKE IT WILL START AIR COMES ON, ETC. SOMETIMES IT WILL START AFTER ATTEMPT 4 OR 5 OR SOMETIMES A WHOLE DAY. I HAVE BEEN STRANDED MULTIPLE TIMES, BUT EVERY TIME I HAVE TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP AND I HAVE TAKEN TO 3 THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE. I HAVE VIDEO PROOF OF WHAT HAPPENS BUT NO ONE WILL HELP ME. CONTACTED CHRYSLER BUT NO HELP THERE. I AM PAYING FOR A VEHICLE THAT STRANDS ME. I TRIED TO ATTACH A VIDEO BUT THEY ARE TOO LONG SO I ADDED A PHOTO
ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASION THE CAR TURNED OFF WHILE DRIVING. , ANOTHER TIME I RETURN TO DISCOVER ALL THE WINDOWS WERE DOWN, ANOTHER OCCASION THE TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR CAME ON STATING THAT THE TIRES WERE FLAT . AND LAST BUT NO LEAST SHORTLY THEREAFTER THE CAR REFUSE TO START
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE SEIZED UPON ACCELERATING FROM A COMPLETE STOP. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE UPSHIFTED OUT OF GEAR AND THE POWER TRAIN WAS FAULTY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. A DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 94,000.
WE STARTED HAVING ISSUES WITH MY VAN A COUPLE MONTHS AGO. THOUGHT IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP, SO WE REPLACED IT. STILL HAD PROBLEMS. BUT MUCH WORSE! VAN WOULDN'T START. AND 3.5 HOURS LATER MY FUEL PUMP WAS STILL RUNNING. DID SOME FURTHER LOOKING INTO IT. COME TO FIND OUT THE TIPM NEEDS REPLACED (OR JUST THE RELAY). SO LOOKING INTO THE SYSTEM MORE, THE TIPM HAS CAUSED THE STARTER TO NOT START. IT IS SITTING IN MY GARAGE UNTIL WE CAN GET THE TIPM WORK DONE. NOT VERY SAFE. VERY MAD! I STILL OWE MONEY ON THIS CAR AND NOW WE DONT HAVE A CAR BIG ENOUGH FOR THE FAMILY. I WILL NEVER BUY CHRYSLER CARS AGAIN!!! THIS HAS BEEN THE WORST 7 MONTHS WITH THIS CAR!!!!
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.
2011 TOWN & COUNTRY 38,000 MILES TIPM REPLACEMENT FAILURE SHUT OFF FUEL PUMP, DEFECTIVE FUEL PUMP RELAY IN MODULE WOULD NOT START, VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY
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 FUEL PUMP STAYS ON WHEN THE VEHICLE IS OFF DUE TO A MALFUNCTION OF THE TOTAL INTEGRATED POWER MODULE (TIPM). THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES. WE HAVE HAD TO CHANGE THE BATTERY SEVERAL TIMES. THIS STARTED HAPPENING ABOUT A YEAR-AND-A-HALF AGO (SPRING 2017)
IT SLAMS INTO GEARS BECAUSE HYDROLOGIC PUMP THAT WAS RECALLED IN THE S44 RECALL.
GAUGE CLUSTER BEGINS TO FLICKER AND GUAGUAS BEGIN TO SPAZZ OUT. VEHICLE THEN SHUTS DOWN WHILE DRIVING. NO ISSUES WITH BATTERY OR ALTERNATOR.
TAKATA RECALL I HAVE BEEN HAVING AN ISSUE WITH MY CAR NOT STARTING FOR OVER A YEAR. I'VE REPLACED 2 STARTERS AND STILL HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP IN WOODRIVER, IL AND SPENT ALMOST 400.00 AND THE ISSUE STILL ISN'T FIXED. THEY ARE THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY CAN'T EVEN GIVE ME AN ANSWER OR RESOLVE WHAT THE REAL ISSUE IS. I CAN'T KEEP TAKING MY VEHICLE IN AND HAVING IT WORKED ON. I THINK THEY KNOW ITS THE TIPM. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER CHRYSLER AGAIN. I HAVE 2 CHILDREN AND I'M SCARED EVERY TIME I HAVE THEM IN THE CAR. WE BOUGHT THIS VAN TO ACCOMMODATE OUR FAMILY AND ALSO FOR ROAD TRIP. WE CAN'T EVEN DO THAT ANYMORE BECAUSE WE CAN'T TRUST THE VAN TO GO LONG DISTANCES LET ALONE THE GROCERY STORE. HOW HAS THIS NOT BEEN RECALLED OR ADDRESSED?
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE ENGINE SUDDENLY SHUT OFF. AFTER RESTARTING THE VEHICLE, THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE INCREASED AND DECREASED AND THE ENGINE WOULD CONTINUE TO SHUT OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. ALSO, THE CONTACT STATED THAT OTHER ELECTRICAL FAILURES PREVIOUSLY OCCURRED, SUCH AS THE PASSENGER SIDE SLIDING DOOR WOULD BUZZ AND THE WINDOWS MALFUNCTIONED. THE LOCAL DEALER (GOLLING CHRYSLER, 2405 S. TELEGRAPH RD., WEST BLOOMFIELD, MI) WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 160,000.
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.
HEAD GASKET AND THE HEAT WONT WORK,IT COMES ON BUT NO HEAT THE SYSTEM COMES ON BY ITSELF- HEAT AND AIR.
MY TOWN AND COUNTRY HAS STALLED WHILE DRIVING MANY MANY TIMES. IT ALWAYS HAPPENS WHILE I AM DRIVING. THE VERY FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS ON DEC 2, 2017. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO 3 DIFFERENT MECHANICS, MOST RECENTLY THE DEALERSHIP. ONE OF MY MECHANICS INITIALLY TOLD ME THEY THOUGHT IT WAS THE TIPM AND THAT CHRYSLER HAS A KNOWN ISSUE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BUT HAVE NOT RECALLED IT OR FIXED THE ISSUE. MY CAR ALSO AT TIMES DOES NOT CRANK PROPERLY. I INSERT THE KEY AND TURN IT TO THE RIGHT AND HOLD IT AS IF I AM STARTING THE CAR. SILENCE AND NOTHING HAPPENS FOR ABOUT 10 SECONDS AND THEN IT FINALLY CRANKS UP. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AS I HAVE ONLY ONE VEHICLE AND 2 KIDS THAT I DRIVE TO AND FROM SCHOOL EVERY DAY. I AM ALWAYS IN PANIC MODE WHEN DRIVING THE CAR. I AM ALWAYS SCARED BECAUSE I KNOW IT CAN SHUT OFF AT ANY GIVEN TIME.
AT 103,XXX MILES, MY VAN'S ENGINE SEIZED UP ON OUR WAY TO OUR WEDDING. I TOOK IT TO A CHRYSLER CERTIFIED MECHANIC IN WEST BRANCH, IOWA, AND WAS TOLD MY CONNECTING RODS BUSTED APART. THE ENGINE HAD PLENTY OF OIL IN IT AND THE ENGINE DID NOT OVERHEAT. CHRYSLER RELEASED A RECALL FOR THE 2012 TOWN AND COUNTRY FOR THE EXACT SAME ISSUE ON MY 2011!! THIS IS THE SAME ENGINE, A 3.6-LINER PENTASTAR V6! WHEN I LOOK FOR REPLACEMENT ENGINES, I CAN REPLACE MY SEIZED ENGINE WITH A 2012!! HOW CAN CHRYSLER GETAWAY FOR RELEASING A RECALL ON A 2012, BUT NOT A 2011 WITH THE SAME ENGINE!?!

NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
