 Description of the problemAz - 2016 dodge grand caravan r/t, approx 63,500 mi. 2 weeks ago i went to start the vehicle and it wouldn't start. I assumed it was the battery because its a fairly new vehicle. I gave it a jump and the vehicle started. I set the time as it had reset to 12:00am but radio stations were still programmed. I went on a 3hr drive back home with no issues and figured the battery was charged by the time i got home. Before i went inside for the night, i attempted to start vehicle up and it started with no issues. The next morning i went to start the vehicle and it would not start on the first or second attempt. I noticed the display on the dash would alternate from "run" to "off" each time i would try to start it. The third try the vehicle started for a good 3-5 seconds then died. The next attempt the vehicle started. I had the same issues after work and each time i would think it was the battery because the car would try to turn over and dash would alternate start to off and the clock on the radio would reset to 12:00 am. This has been going on for 2 weeks now, i reached the point of replacing the alternator. I also had the new alternator and battery tested, both tested good. What kept leading me to a bad alternator/battery was the fact that the clock would reset and the first few attempts to start the vehicle would not work. My thinking started to change as the days passed. I thought that had it been a battery or charging issue the battery would have been dead by now. Today i went through the same routine, tried twice to start, then it would start then stall, of course the last try it would stay on. Same thing in the evening, after work, but this time while driving the vehicle stalled out while driving in traffic at 45mph. No warnings or check engine light, i pulled over, vehicle started right up. A search of the symptoms lead me to tipm issues earlier models were having.
