MY 2011 CARAVAN IS HAVING SERIOUS ISSUES WHEN ATTEMPTING TO CRANK. AT TIMES THE ENGINE WILL CONTINUOUSLY TURN OVER WHEN ATTEMPTING TO START ENGINE. IT COMPLETELY DRAINED MY 1 MONTH OLD TO BATTERY. I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP TODAY FOR RECALL T33 AND I STATED THE ONGOING ISSUES. THEY PREFORMED A DIAGNOSIS TEST (I PD $165) AND STATED THE TIPM NEEDS TO BE REPLACED FOR $1475. AFTER SOME RESEARCH, I'VE NOTICED THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH MANY 2011+ CARAVAN OWNERS. MY ISSUE BEGAN IS 2015 (85,000 MILES) WITH AN INTERMITTENT CLICK WHEN ATTEMPTING TO START MY VAN. NOW, OBVIOUSLY THE ISSUE IS PROGRESSING. SEEING THERE IS A HISTORY OF ISSUES WITH TIPM, DODGE SHOULD BE COMPELLED TO ISSUE A RECALL. PLEASE CONTACT ME FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.

FEW DAYS LATER THE LIGHT ON PASSENGER SIDE COMES ON AND OFF. I HAVE CONTACTED PLACE WERE I HAD AIRBAGS REPLACED AND HAVE NOT GOTTEN A CALL BACK TO TAKE IT BACK TO BE SERVICED. THE THE AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON WHEN YOU HIT THE BRAKES AND DRIVING ALWAYS STAYS ON.
