Hello all. I want you to meet Christine. She's the van I just purchased used. She's a 2016 Chrysler Town and Country Touring model, black and beautiful. However, Christine is possessed and I'm trying to determine whether to take her to a mechanic or a priest.

Let me explain. Christine has about 80,000 miles on her, which is still pretty young. My last T&C had over 250,000 miles on it before I traded it in and only because the air conditioning wasn't working. The vehicle itself still ran just fine. Anyway, the first month that I owned Christine went well. I got to know her and she got to know me. After about a month, the honeymoon as over and I woke up one morning to find both left, right and rear doors open. Fortunately for me I live on a dead end so no one saw all the equipment that I had left inside Christine overnight. I closed them and thought that I had pushed the buttons on the key fob which was in my pocket and didn't think anything more about it. A couple days went by and while I was at work one day a co-worker came in and asked if I was airing out my van. I asked him why and he told me that the back hatch was open on it. Once again, I thought it was because the key fob was in my pocket. I started looking to find a cause for this and found the "key fob" fix, which was not the case for me. Long story short, I ordered new key fobs, replaced the circuit board in them with the one I had (so it had brand new buttons and a new rubber keyboard). The incidents of doors opening have gotten worse and worse, so I took it to a dealer to be diagnosed. They couldn't find anything and ended up selling me a brand new key fob for over $500.00.

The problem still exists. In fact, Christine tried to eat me one day. I opened the back hatch to get something out and as soon as I bent down to get it, she started closing the door on me. I turned around, stopped it and pushed it back up. Went back to pick up what I started to and she tried to close the door on me again. BTW, the key fob was still sitting on the front seat and no where near my pocket. Since then, while I'm driving, I will hear the horn honk occasionally and then get the message on the console that I can't open the lift gate without putting the vehicle in park. Oh, and the other night I was driving on the highway and my headlights went out momentarily and the horn honked.

So, does this horror story sound like anything anyone has had before? Someone suggested that it was the TPM module that might be going bad. I've checked fuses and replaced one, but it was for the lighter socket on the console so now it works again. Someone also suggested that it was the module behind where I put the key fob in to start Christine. I can't duplicate the issue on demand, but I just went outside and shut the back door again!

Do I need an exorcist???
