WE WENT OUT TO CAR TO GET IN IT, AND ALL DOORS WERE LOCKED AND WOULD NOT UNLOCK. HORN STARTED BLARING. WINDSHIELD WIPERS WENT CRAZY WITH WINDSHIELD WIPER FLUID SPRAYING. HEADLIGHTS WERE BLINKING ON AND OFF. FINALLY ABLE TO GET IN CAR, THINGS FINALLY CALMED DOWN AFTER ABOUT 10 - 15 MINUTES. NEXT DAY, WE TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP. THEY TESTED IT, AND THEY SAID THEY DID NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. SIMILAR EPISODES HAPPENED AFTER THAT ONE WHICH INCLUDED TAKING THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION, AND THE CAR WAS STILL RUNNING. WE TOOK IT TO A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT CHECKED, AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. *TR

I WAS DRIVING AT 45 MPH WHEN SUDDENLY VAN REVVED UP FROM 1500 RPM TO 3500 RPM, AND SPEED WENT DOWN TO 30 MPH. SOMEHOW I GOT MY CAR TO MY WORK PLACE AND PARKED IT. I SUSPECTED MY TRANSMISSION HAD GONE BAD. I DECIDED TO TAKE MY CAR TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP. I DROVE THE VAN AT 30 MPH AT 3500 RPM TO THE TRANSMISSION SHOP. THEIR TECHNICIAN DROVE THE VAN AROUND, DID SOME OTHER INSPECTION AND REPORTED THAT THERE WAS NO PROBLEM WITH MY TRANSMISSION. HOWEVER HE MENTIONED THERE WAS A ELECTRICAL POWER LOSS WHICH MADE MY VAN GO INTO LIMP MODE. REMARKABLY MY VAN STARTED DRIVING NORMALLY AFTER THE INSPECTION. I TOOK MY VAN TO AUTHORIZED DODGE DEALER. THEY PULLED SOME CODES FROM THE COMPUTER WHICH INDICATED POWER LOSS TO SEVERAL EQUIPMENT. THEY SUSPECTED THE TIPM MODULE, BUT DID NOT HAVE HARD EVIDENCE FROM THE CODES. THEY ADVISED ME TO LEAVE VAN OVERNIGHT AT THE SERVICE AREA, AND HAVE THEM CHECK IT OUT. I DECLINED BECAUSE ARRANGING ALTERNATE TRANSPORTATION WAS DIFFICULT. TODAY MORNING, WHILE DRIVING THE VAN, WIPER BLADE SUDDENLY STARTED RUNNING. IT STOPPED ON ITS OWN AFTER FEW CYCLES. NOW I AM UNABLE TO START THE VAN. READING THROUGH FORUMS WHERE DRIVERS HAVE EXPERIENCED SIMILAR ISSUES, I AM CONFIDENT IT IS THE TIPM ON MY VAN. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE, SINCE I DRIVE ON THE FREEWAY A LOT, AND IF VAN GOES INTO LIMP MODE, IT WILL BE A HAZARD. LOOKS LIKE DODGE IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE. WHY DON'T THEY ACCEPT THE SITUATION AND DEAL WITH IT BY ISSUING A SAFETY RECALL AND FIXING THE TIPM. PLEASE FORCE DODGE TO ISSUE RECALL, ELSE I WILL NEED TO SPEND $1000 ATLEAST TO FIX TIPM. *TR
