Vehicle would lose power. First problem was while at the gas station with my children (age 4 and 1) and with the key in the cup holder, the doors locked on their own. I had to call my husband to bring spare key. The next issue was the vehicle battery drained and had to get jumped. The last issue was the vehicle would not turn on. All of the lights turned on but would not crank over.Took it to my local dealership and was advised that the TIPM failed.

TIPM is defective causing the car hard starting and stall.The fuel pump relay stays on draining the new battery . The car starts then shuts down after 2 seconds. The sliding doors open and close, horn stops, car alarm stops intermittently. I had to temporarily bypass the fuel pump relay.The cost of the TIPM replacement is $1500

I don't know much about vehicles. So when I get the obd scanned to make sure things are good to sell my van and it throws back many error codes, I was surprised. I thought the vibration/shaking was minor or just because I only had 4 out 6 engine mounts replaced. I was told the tipm was bad, the transmission, the tire pressure sensors don't work. The eco drive doesn't work. I was told that there was a problem with mine that was recalled but only on half of the vehicles and my vin wasn't one of them recalled even though it's the same problem. I was told the main fuse panel under the hood needs replaced. From what I was told, all the needed repairs will cost about as much as I paid for the vehicle itself. There have been lights on the dash since a few days after I bought it but the obd didn't want to put out any reading. I named her Christine because she seems to have a mind of her own. The rpm's go sky high whenever they feel like it so I often have to pull over, turn it off and wait about 5 minutes. I didn't know where to turn to get help with this before it nickel and dimes me into the even more poor house.

MY TIPM IS FAILING SLOWLY. MY STARTER IS PULLING WAY TO MANY AMPS WHEN STARTING. I'VE CHANGED IT TWICE. MY FUEL RELAY HAS FAILED. A LOT OF THE TIMES WHEN I START MY CAR I HAVE AN ICON FOR MY ABS SENSOR COME ON AND THE ONLY WAY TO GET IT OFF IS TO PULL OVER AND RESTART MY CAR. WHEN THE LIGHT IS ON ON MY DASH. MY CAR WON'T DRIVE OVER 60MPH AND MY RPMS WILL RUN HIGH AND WHEN YOU LET OFF THE GAS WHILE IT'S DOING THIS IT WILL TAKE YOU ALMOST TO A STOP WITHIN SECONDS. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT NEVER GOES OFF. AND NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES IT GETS TESTED AND RESET IT COMES BACK WITHIN HOURS. SO MY AUTO START NEVER WORKS. SOMETIMES WHEN I START MY CAR I CAN'T GET MY SEATBELT ALARM TO STOP SINGING SO I HAVE TO PULL OVER AND RESTART. IT ALL LEADS BACK TO THIS TIPM (ELECTRONICS BOARD BELOW THE FUSE BOX). I'VE HAD IT PRICED AT 1300$ TO FIX IT. BUT TURNS OUT IT'S THE MOST COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS YEAR OF THIS VAN. PLEASE HELP!

OUR TIPM FAILED CAUSING US NOT TO BE ABLE TO START THE CAR WE WERE TOLD THAT THE FUEL PUMP WAS CONSTANTLY RUNNING EVEN THOUGH CAR WAS TURNED OFF...WE PAID A VERY LARGE BILL TO GET REPAIRED AND OF COURSE OUR WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED...WE FELT THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL FOR THIS PART...OUR ANSWER FROM CHRYSLER WAS KEEP YOUR RECEIPT INCASE OF A RECALL...THIS REPAIR COULD HAVE CAUSED A FIRE IF PARKED IN OUR GARAGE OR ANYWHERE...SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL...
