WE STARTED SMELLING AN ODD SMELL COMING FROM THE A/C VENTS ON 7/4/15. AFTER A FEW DAYS THE SMELL WENT AWAY AND WE THOUGHT NOTHING OF IT. 7/8/15 MULTIPLE LIGHTS SHOW UP AFTER STARTING THE VAN..ABS, BRAKES, TRACTION CONTROL, ETC. TWO DAYS LATER THESE LIGHTS WENT AWAY. 7/18/15 WE GOT INTO THE VAN AND A/C IN THE BACK WAS BLOWING, BUT THE FRONT WASN'T BLOWING AT ALL. TURNED IT ON WHILE DRIVING AND IT WORKED AGAIN. THE NEXT DAY WHEN I WENT TO WORK THE BLOWER WAS NOT BLOWING ANYMORE, BUT WORKED ON THE WAY HOME. AFTER THAT SECOND DAY IT HAS CONSISTENTLY WORKED. THIS MORNING WHEN I HIT THE UNLOCK BUTTON ON THE KEYFOB THE HORN STARTED HONKING, WINDSHIELD WIPERS WENT ON, AND WIPER FLUID WAS SQUIRTING OUT. I GOT INTO THE VAN AND STARTED IT AND EVERYTHING STOPPED. I DROVE THE 20 MINUTE DRIVE HOME FROM WORK WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS. LATER THAT DAY I GOT BACK INTO THE VAN TO DRIVE AND EVERYTHING WAS STILL NORMAL EXCEPT I HAD A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT SO I PLANNED ON GETTING THAT CHECKED WHILE I WAS OUT. I WAS PARKED AT A RESIDENCE WITH THE VAN STILL ON WHEN THE SAME HORN/WIPER/WIPER FLUID PROBLEM STARTED UP AGAIN. I TURNED OFF THE VAN AND IT KEPT GOING. I PULLED FUSES OUT FOR THE HORN/WIPERS/FLUID AND COULD STILL HEAR THINGS IN THE BOX CLICKING. THIS TIME THE DOOR LOCKS WERE LOCKING BY THEMSELVES AND THE LIGHTS (BOTH INSIDE AND OUT) WERE TURNING OFF AND ON. I DROVE TO THE CLOSES AUTO PARTS STORE AND WAS TOLD THERE WERE 2 CODES COMING UP. IT GAVE ME P0685 (ASD RELAY CIRCUIT FAILURE) AND P0883 (TCM POWER INPUT HIGH). AFTER DOING SOME ONLINE RESEARCH IT SEEMS I HAVE TO HAVE MY TIPM REPLACED AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM. I'M FRUSTRATED AT THE AMOUNT OF MONEY I KEEP HAVING TO PUT INTO THIS VAN. RIGHT NOW MY VAN IS SITTING IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE WITH THE BATTERY DISCONNECTED UNTIL I CAN TAKE IT IN TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT. I'M REALLY LUCKY THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN ON MY DRIVE TO/FROM WORK.

REFER TO DATE INVESTIGATION OPENED: SEP 25, 2014 DATE INVESTIGATION CLOSED: OPEN NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: DP14004 COMPONENT(S): ELECTRICAL SYSTEM MY WIFE NOTICED IT FIRST AND I HAVE NOTICED THIS. IT STARTED WHEN NOT MOVING BUT NOW CONTINUES WHILE DRIVING. THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WIPE EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE OFF, THE AIR BAG LIGHT AND TOTAL DASH LIGHTS, WE CAN'T TELL HOW FAST WE ARE GOING BECAUSE OF THE GAUGE FAILURE AND THE HEADLIGHTS BLINK AMONG OTHER ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. THIS IS NOT A GOOD SITUATION WITH 4 KIDS IN THE VEHICLE.
