TIPM FAILING. WE BEGAN HAVING ISSUES WITH WHAT WAS THOUGHT TO BE FUEL PUMP AND HAVE HAD THE CAR IN THE SHOP TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP WITHOUT RESOLUTION. I WAS RECENTLY DRIVING AND HAD THE CAR SHUT OFF ON A 55MPH ZONE OF A HIGHWAY WITH 3 KIDS PLUS MYSELF AND HUSBAND IN THE CAR FOR 45 MINUTES BLOCKING A LANE OF TRAFFIC WHILE WAITING TO BE TOWED. WE HAVE HAD THE CAR STRAND US IN VARIOUS LOCATIONS 5 TIMES SINCE WE BOUGHT THE CAR 08/17. WE HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING THAT IT LOOKS TO BE THE TIPM THAT IS MALFUNCTIONING AND CAUSING THE FUEL PUMP TO RUN RANDOMLY, SOMETIMES CONTINUOUSLY FOR HOURS DRAINING THE BATTERY, OR STOP RUNNING CAUSING THE CAR TO DIE DUE TO LACK OF FUEL WHILE HAVING ALL HEADLIGHTS, WIPES AND INTERIOR LIGHTS FUNCTIONING. THE TIPM HAS CAUSED ME TO BLOCK LANES OF TRAFFIC ON HIGHWAYS, BUSINESS DRIVEWAYS AND BE STUCK IN PARKING LOTS 60+ MILES FROM MY HOME DUE TO THE FUEL PUMP NOT SHUTTING OFF WHEN THE CAR IS TURNED OFF.

CONDENSATION WAS SEEN FORMING ON INSIDE OF LIFT GATE TAIL LIGHT. THE NEXT DAY, WATER WAS FOUND POOLING INSIDE LIFT GATE TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY. TWO DAYS LATER, THE TAIL LIGHT ADJACENT TO THE POOLED WATER WENT OUT. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED OUTSIDE AND STATIONARY AT THE TIME OF DISCOVERY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 DODGE JOURNEY. OCCASIONALLY, WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45-70 MPH, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED INDEPENDENTLY AND THEN STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TOWBIN DODGE LLC (275 AUTO MALL DR, HENDERSON, NV 89014, (702) 558-3800) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO VERIFY THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V907000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED PER THE RECALL; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30. *TT THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE BEGAN TRYING TO STALL OUT THEN TURNED OFF WHILE DRIVING. AT TIME THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. *JS

I HAD TAKEN MY DODGE DURANGO FOR A RECALL ON AIR BAG AND THEY REPLACED.. ALSO MENTION THAT WHEN I AM FILLING UP MY DODGE DURANGO WITH FUEL IT WOULDN'T AUTOMATICALLY STOP WHEN TANK WAS FULL CAUCUSING FUEL TO SPLASH ALL OVER INCLUDING ME THEY INDICATED TO ME THAT IT WAS A RECALL ON MY DURANGO THEY ORDERED THE PARTS AND TWO DAYS LATER CALLED ME AND SAID WE ARE NOT GOING TO FIX IT. DEALER WAS DAVIS MOORE DODGE IN WITCHITA, KANSAS

THE FIRST TIME THE THROTTLE CONTROL WARNING LIGHT CAME ON, I WAS MID-TURN INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC WHEN MY VEHICLE STALLED, COMPLETELY STOPPING ALMOST CAUSING ANOTHER VEHICLE TO T-BONE ME. CAR SHUT OFF AND WHEN I RESTARTED IT, IT AUTOMATICALLY ACCELERATED. ARRIVED AT MY DESTINATION WITHIN A MILE AND LATER THAT DAY WHEN I TURNED ON MY CAR TO GO HOME, THE LIGHT WAS OFF AND NO ISSUES. A COUPLE DAYS GO BY, ON MY WAY TO WORK AGAIN, I AM TRYING TO STOP FOR A RED LIGHT, THROTTLE CONTROL WARNING LIGHT COMES ON AND CAR ACCELERATES INSTEAD CAUSING ME TO RUN THE RED LIGHT. THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT STAYS ON FOR THE REST OF THE DAY BUT WHEN I GO TO DRIVE IT THE NEXT DAY ITS OFF AND NO ISSUES. TOOK CAR IN TO GET OIL CHANGED AND OTHER UNRELATED WORK DONE AND THEY DON'T FIND ANY ISSUES. ABOUT 3 WEEKS GO BY, DON'T DRIVE THE CAR FOR 5 DAYS, IT DRIVES FINE THE FIRST DAY AND THEN TODAY (THE SECOND DAY) ON MY WAY TO WORK, I WENT TO SLOW DOWN FOR A STOP LIGHT, WHEN I PUSHED ON THE GAS TO ACCELERATE AGAIN, THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON AND I HAVE THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR BUT CAR WON'T GO ABOVE 13 MPH. DROVE THIS WAY FOR ABOUT 3 MILES, MAKING NO STOPS WORRIED THAT I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO GET IT TO GO AT ALL, UNTIL I WAS SOMEWHERE SAFE THAT I COULD PARK THE VEHICLE. JUST WENT TO GO TURN IT ON AFTER ABOUT 4 HOURS AND LIGHT IS STILL ON.

CRUISE CONTROL SWITCH WAS ON BUT NOT ENGAGED. I PULLED UP TO BACK INTO PARKING SPACE, AND WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE TRUCK LUNGED FORWARD INTO PARKED CARS. THE TRUCK STOPPED, I PUT MY FOOT BACK ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, LOOKING TO MAKE SURE I WAS ONLY ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, AND THE TRUCK LUNGED FORWARD AGAIN INTO PARKED CAR. I TOOK MY FOOT OFF OF BRAKE PEDAL, PUT THE SHIFTER IN REVERSE, AND THE TRUCK TOOK OFF AT HIGH SPEED IN REVERSE, CLIPPED A FIRE HYDRANT, AND STOPPED ABOUT 100 FEET AWAY, BACKING INTO AN EARTHEN BANK. ALL OF THIS OCCURRED IN THE PARKING LOT AT MY PLACE OF WORK.

2011 DODGE CARAVAN PURCHASED 3/2017. MOTOR HAD A SLIGHT KNOCKING SOUND TOOK IT BACK TO DEALER THEY SENT ME TO THEIR MECHANIC. I WAS ASSURED THAT IT WAS FINE. THEN BRAKES WENT REALLY LOW AND DID NOT STOP RIGHT. TOLD IT WAS A MASTER CYLINDER.INSTALLED THAT THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN SO WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS A BAD MASTER CYLINDER. INSTALLED ANOTHER ONE. DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM AFTER A FEW DAYS.????? THEN I WAS TOLD WE NEEDED A BRAKE BOOSTER. INSTALLED THAT AND IT DID SEEM LIKE THAT WAS IT FIXED, THEN THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON AND BRAKE PEDAL WENT LOW. NOW IT HAS A VERY HORRIBLE SOUND AND THE TRANY AT TIMES DOES NOT WANT TO SHIFT AND THE RPM'S GO UP AND I HAVE TO PULL OVER AND SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE AND TURN IT BACK ON AND IT WILL SHIFT.???? ELECTRONICAL.??? I HAVE READ COMPLAINTS ON NHTSA AND I FEEL LIKE DODGE SHOULD REPAIR THE BRAKES AND THE TRANY PROBLEM. FROM WHAT I CAN READ IT IS A DEFECTIVE PART OF THE PROGRAMMING. THE HORRIBLE NOSIE WHEN YOU PULL OFF, I DONT KNOW WHAT IT IS BUT SOUNDS BAD.. I CALLED DODGE DEALERSHIP RIGHT AFTER I BOUGHT THE VAN AND THEY WERE VERY RUDE AND SAID THERE WERE NOT ANY RECALLS FOR THIS 2011 VAN AND I SEE THAT THERE IS AND SOME SAYS COMPLETE. WELL IF THEY ARE COMPLETE SEEMS TO ME LIKE IT NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED AGAIN BECAUSE IT IS DOING WHAT I SEE THAT PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT. I OWE NEARLY 14,000 ON THIS VAN. . DOGE/CHRYSLER SHOULD MAKE IT GOOD. THE COMPLETE ON THE RECALLS LIKE I SAID IS NOT COMPLETE. PLEASE HELP ME IF YOU CAN. I DONT HAVE MUCH FAITH AFTER THE PERSON AT THE DODGE DEALERSHIP WAS SO RUDE TO ME, BUT MAYBE YOU ALL THERE CAN HELP ME GET IT REPAIRED. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE.THE WINDOWS SOMETIMES DONT WANT TO COME DOWN AND YALL HAVE SOMETHING ABOUT IT MIGHT CATCH ON FIRE.THE KEYBOB WILL NOT OPEN THE SIDE DOORS.

BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER FLOORS ARE SOAKED ALL THE WAY TO THE BACK ...I WILL LET THEM DRY AND IN A FEW WEEKS IT'S BACK AGAIN . THIS WAS BOUGHT AS A NEW CAR ...WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON ...I HAVE HAD THE DRAIN TUBE CLEANED OUT AND THE AIR CONDITIONING DRIP CONTAINER DRAINED OUT ...I GOOGLED THE PROBLEM AND FOUND IT COULD BE A SEAL PROBLEM. PLEASE TELL ME HOW I CAN GET THIS FIXED AND NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR IT ....I DON'T THINK THIS IS MY FAULT.
