I reported a strange sound to my trusted mechanic, and his tech quickly affirmed that the fuel pump was still operating even with the vehicle turned off and keys removed from the ignition. They told me without skipping a beat that this was a TIPM malfunction. They were confident that this was a common problem and that CERTAINLY there would be a recall through the dealer.
However, there has NOT been a recall issued for this problem on this make, model, or year of this vehicle. I have read around the web, and it does indeed sound like a common problem Chrysler Town and Country minivans made between 2011 and 2013 (mine's a '12). It seems to be happening to a lot of people who, in good faith, trusted the Chrysler brand. It also seems like this problem carries with it very significant risk of dangerous malfunctions: vehicle stalling at high speeds, vehicle fire, other damage to vehicle that could be avoided if the TIPM were replaced.
Chrysler, do the right thing: in good faith, protect your customers. It will be far cheaper for you to issue a recall on the front end than to risk dealing with a class action suit that arises as a result of customers suffering injury or, God forbid, death because you didn't take care of business. In the long run, your bottom line will be healthier if you stay out of the tragedy segment of the national news (think Takata airbags and Toyota brakes).
