Description of the problem | Vehicle started with doors suddenly and repeatedly locking and unlocking then drivers lock switch stopped working then week later passengers at the same time radios cd player started trying to eject cd repeatedly with out even being on or having one in it also at same time fuel gauge stopped working. Now this morning wife coming home from work braking system started to malfunction almost causing a crash. Upon simple web search this seems to be common occurrence with 2008 grand caravans electrical system repeatedly hearing or seeing as the case may be a faulty tipm (totally integrated power module) as told by dealership mechanics. It seems it is causing so many different problems such as those just described to headlights shutting off,wipers coming on horn blowing ect,ect,ect. How many people need to die before you take action. A copy of this will be sent to senators,congressman,and news media maybe if it makes the news someone wont have to die due to failure to act by your agency or dodge and chrysler. |
