2008 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY Engine Problems

Engine shut down while driving. Will restart if put back into park and restart. Has happened two times in the past.

T & C 2008 VAN UNINTENDED SUDDEN ACCELERATION happened 2x. Service dept. Of the dealer says no problem found but it happened again. Today I am at dealer service again.Hope they solve the problem, cause several incident like this occured aluready.04

Multiple times the van will intermittently stall while driving down the road or stopped in traffic. First the dash lights flicker, speedometer and rpm gages go to 0, and warning lights such as esp, traction, abs, airbag, battery etc flicker on and off and occasionally hear almost a spark through radio speakers, then everything shuts off, both electrical and mechanically. When that happens I lose power steering and cannot get my hazards or brake lights to work. One time I could barely press the brake pedal, or steer and it was at night which means the vehicle was completely dark with no kinds of lights at an intersection with my 2 children and myself inside. So very scary! It gives me the worst anxiety to drive it and I'm too scared to sell it as I feel I would be knowingly selling a very unsafe vehicle. Occasionally the sliding side doors do not operate properly. First time the other night while the van was parked I hit the automatic shut button for the sliding door and lost all power to the vehicle and then it popped back in and operated fine. I have had multiple mechanics look at it and nobody can figure it out. Bought the van used in March or April of 2020 and had issues starting just 2 weeks after purchase. The van is now at around 108000 miles. I am out of money, a vehicle and options. Please help from a very scared and desperate mother who otherwise loves her minivan!

Unknown. Vehicle abruptly shuts off. Usually before full operating temperature is reached. It has happened dozens of times. It most recently happened today. Always when you remove your foot from the throttle at lower speeds. You can watch the tach go to 0 when your foot comes off. No warning, no consistency. It has never occurred while accelerating. Most events happened going around a curve, occasionally while slowing to turn into a lot or at an intersection. No problem at highway speeds. The most challenging time though is taking your foot off the gas going around a curve and it quits. Response is to rapidly slip the transmission into neutral and turn the key to start. It usually fires right back up. If you have no situational awareness however this could lead to a really bad outcome. This has been going on for over 100,000 miles. Have 192 now but the problem is getting worse. Dealers always have codes but nothing worked. Once a crankshaft sensor was replaced (On a suspicion) but no code for it. It helped a while but the problem has returned. Still no code for that sensor but I’m having it replaced again.

I was leaving my place of residence and was navigating a 90 degree left hand turn while in drive at approximately 10mph. As I began to attempt to straighten the wheel and accelerate out of the turn I realized I had no steering and the car wouldn't accelerate. The engine had stalled and the steering wheel was locked while turned to the left. No warning lights or messages were present even after I started the vehicle back up. I feel incredibly lucky this happened at a low rate of speed instead of at highway speed. It has never done anything like this before and we cannot figure out what caused the engine to stall or why there was no steering when it happened.

The vehicle died while driving six times. One additional time the vehicle died after being stopped at home. Each time the vehicle lost all power functions, steering and breaking. It just came to a stop, dead. On two of the occurrences a tow was required to move the vehicle to the dealership for repair. On five of the occurrences the driver was able to restart the vehicle. On three occasions the vehicle was evaluated by repair facilities and they could not reproduce the stoppage. One time at QualTech Automotive Service in Austin and two times at Nyle Maxwell in Austin. The vehicle did pass the Texas Safety inspection in November 2021. The stoppage problem occurred over the last nine months with the latest stoppage being on 12/23/21.

I was driving in Chattanooga Tn when it happened the first time. But the van just shut off so I made it to a parking lot turned the switch off then it started right back up and it happened again on my way home. It has happened multiple times. The the Ecm light came on so I had it replaced now the engine won't do anything at all

The contact owns a 2008 Chrysler Town and Country. The contact stated while driving 40 MPH, the brake pedal was depressed to make a left turn, and the vehicle shut-off without warning. She exited the vehicle and flagged down two fellow motorists for assistance. While they attempted to push the vehicle, the contact was able to restart the vehicle and resumed normal driving. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was 152,669.

THE VEHICLE WILL SHUT OFF WHILE IN MOTION. STABILITY LIGHT WILL ILLUMINATE, POWER STEERING, POWER BRAKES FAIL. HAS HAPPENED ON THREE OCCASIONS NOW, TWICE ON CITY STREETS, ONCE AT HIGHWAY SPEED.

Mileage: 130,000

THIS HAS HAPPENED TO US THREE TIMES IN THE LAST THREE WEEKS. SHORTLY AFTER STARTING THE CAR WE TRAVELED LESS THAN A MILE AT ABOUT 25 MPH AND THE ENGINE SUDDENLY TURNED OFF CAUSING THE POWER STEERING AND BREAKS TO FAIL. THE VAN RESTARTED ONE WE PUT IT IN PARK AND CONTINUED TO WORK FINE AFTER THAT. WE WERE DRIVING IN A CROWDED NEIGHBORHOOD WHERE CHILDREN PLAY AT THE TIME.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD THE MOTOR DIES AS IF I TURNED IT OFF, SO OF COURSE IT'S DIFFICULT TO STEER. I MANAGED TO GET OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I DECIDED TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND TRY TO START IT. IT STARTED AND OFF I WENT. SEVERAL DAYS LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED SO AS I WAS COASTING ALONG, I JUST PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE ON. THIS HAS HAPPENED PERIODICALLY OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS. ALSO, AWHILE AGO, I PULLED INTO MY PARKING PLACE AT WORK AND JUST AS I WAS GETTING READY TO TURN THE IGNITION OFF, EVERYTHING WENT WILD, HORN HONKING, ALARM GOING OFF, BOTH FRONT AND BACK WINDSHIELD WIPERS GOING FULL BORE WITH THE WASHER FLUID SPRAYING OUT! THIS CONTINUED FOR SEVERAL MINUTES EVEN THOUGH THE KEY WAS OUT OF THE IGNITION! IT FINALLY STOPPED, ALL THE WASHER FLUID RAN OUT! THIS HAS HAPPENED PERIODICALLY OVER THE PAST COUPLE YEARS. IT HAPPENED A FEW MONTHS AGO AND WOULDN'T STOP UNTIL WE UNHOOKED THE BATTERY. I'M TOLD IT IS A FAULTY POWER MODULE! THAT'S CRAZY, NEVER IN MY LIFE HAS ANYTHING LIKE THIS HYPO ME WITH A VEHICLE! I THINK CHRYSLER SHOULD STAND BEHIND THIS FAULTY PART. IT COULD HAVE CAUSED ME TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT BUT LUCKILY HAS NOT! CAN'T REALLY AFFORD A NEW PART OR VEHICLE!

MY VEHICLE WILL SHUT OFF WHILE I'M DRIVING. IT'S BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE. THERE ARE NO LIGHTS THAT COME ON, ON THE DASHBOARD THAT INDICATE ANY ERROR, EXCEPT THE ANTILOCK BREAK LIGHT WILL OCCASIONALLY LIGHT UP. I COULD BE DRIVING SLOW OR FAST, IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE, IT WILL JUST SHUT OFF, AND THE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES LOSE POWER AND DON'T WORK. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND CAN EASILY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND HAVE ALSO SEEN THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM WITH HUNDREDS UPON HUNDREDS OF OTHER CONSUMERS WITH THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL. PEOPLE HAVE TAKEN THEIR VEHICLES TO CHRYSLER DEALERSHIPS AND MECHANICS AND NO ONE CAN FIGURE OUT THE CAUSE. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE SMALL CHILDREN, 2 STILL IN CARSEATS, AND MY YOUNGEST WHO IS 1 IS HANDICAP. I AM SCARED TO DRIVE IT. I STILL OWE $10,000 ON MY AUTO LOAN FOR THIS CAR, SO I AM STUCK WITH IT. IT SEEMS LIKE THIS IS A DEFECTIVE VEHICLE, SINCE SO MANY OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME MYSTERY SAFETY ISSUE.

WHILE TRAVELING AT SPEEDS LESS THAN 40 MPH, AND TYPICALLY WITHIN 5 MINUTES OF STARTING, THE VEHICLE WILL SHUT DOWN ALL POWER (ENGINE, ELECTRICAL, AND BRAKES) WHILE DRIVING, MAKING IT VERY HARD TO STOP THE VEHICLE, AND VERY DANGEROUS . I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED IT WAS OVERHEATING AND RESULT OF THE COOLANT SYSTEM LEAKING, WHICH WE HAD THEM FIX, AND PROBLEM CONTINUES TO OCCUR. THERE WAS NO WAY IT WAS OVERHEATING THAT QUICKLY AFTER STARTING. DEALER HAS REFUSED TO LOOK AT OTHER POSTINGS ONLINE THAT SUGGEST THIS IS A PREVALENT PROBLEM, AND UNRELATED TO THE COOLANT SYSTEM.

WE HAVE HAD THE LOCAL DEALER CHECK IT OUT AND THEY CANNOT SEEM TO FIND THE PROBLEM, BUT OBVIOUSLY THERE IS A PROBLEM. WHY CAN'T CHRYSLER FIGURE THIS OUT? IT IS DANGEROUS AND SCARY AND OUR BELOVED VAN IS NO LONGER RELIABLE TRANSPORTATION FOR OUR FAMILY. NHTSA....THERE HAVE BEEN SO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM...IT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND, YES, IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE, BIG TIME!

CAR GETS TOTALLY POSSESSED. IT CUTS OFF IN THE OF DRIVING ONE TIME ON THE HIGHWAY. THE LIGHTS WIPERS AND HORN GOES ON BY ITSELF AND DOESNT STOP UNTIL THE BATTERY IS DISCONNECTED. I CAME OUT THE STORE AND MY WIPERS AND HORN WAS GOING OFF THE KEYS WERE IN MY HAND. WHILE PUMPING GAS THE RADIO STARTED PLAYING AND WIPERS GOING OFF. THE KEYS WERE IN MY HAND THE DOORS UNLOCK BY THEMSELVES ONE THEY OPENED. WHILE DRIVING UPHILL. THE CAR WON'T OFF WHEN THE KEY COMES OUT. IN THE PARK AND OFF POSITION SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T START AT ALL.

MY CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY HAD PERFORMED THE RECALL ON THE IGNITION SWITCH HOWEVER MY VAN STILL SHUTS DOWN WHILE DRIVING. AT FIRST IT STARTED UPON MORNING WHEN FIRST STARTING OUT THE DAY, BUT NOW IT SHUTS OFF EVEN AFTER 45 MINUTES OF DRIVING THE VEHICLE CAUSING ME TO LOOSE CONTROL OF THE STEERING AND HAVING TO BE CAUTIOUS SO THAT I WONT BE REAR ENDED OR WORSE. I HAVE TAKING IT IN TO BE DIAGNOSED BUT THE TECHNICIANS AFTER HAVING THE VAN HOOKED UP TO THEIR DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE ARE STILL UNABLE TO SEE ANYTHING WRONG. NO ERROR CODES ARE SHOWING. ALSO NOW, WHILE PARKED AND THE ENGINE OFF WITH NO KEYS... MY DOORS WILL JUST OPEN BY THEMSELVES OR AUTOMATICALLY LOCK. IT DID IT YESTERDAY MORNING HOWEVER MY CAR WAS RUNNING, THE VAN LOCKED SOUNDING MY ALARM THAT SOUNDED AS IF I HAD PRESSED THE KEY TO LOCK. I HOPE THAT SOMEONE CAN CALL OR EMAIL ME TO GIVE AN EXPLANATION WHAT COULD BE THE PROBLEM AS WELL AS HOW I CAN RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM,

OIL CONSUMPTION BEYOND NORMAL. I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE AND FOUND A WIDE PROBLEM FOR CHRYSLER/JEEP MODEL YEARS UP THROUGH 2011 WITH THE 3.8 LITER ENGINE. THERE IS A DEFECT WITH THE VALVE GUIDES AND SEALS THAT ALLOWS OIL TO BE BURNED AT A FAR GREATER RATE THAN WHAT THE INDUSTRY STANDARD WOULD SAY IS NORMAL OIL CONSUMPTION. WITH THIS ISSUE IT USES MORE THAN A QUART PER 1,000 MILES. DEALER HAS SAID THIS IS NORMAL OIL CONSUMPTION. SINCE THE GUIDES ARE DEFECTIVE ALONG WITH THE SEALS THIS IS CAUSING DRY START EVEN WITH LOW MILES! I AM METICULOUS WITH MAINTENANCE ON MY VEHICLES, DAILY DRIVEN MOSTLY HIGHWAY MILES APPROX. 30 MILES DAILY. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STARTED IN THE MORNINGS YOU CAN HEAR THE DRY START TO THE VALVE TRAIN. IT GOES AWAY AS SOON AS THE ENGINE IS RUNNING AND OIL IS CIRCULATING. HOWEVER YOU CAN HEAR THE VALVE TRAIN IS NOISIER THAN USUAL. I HAVE BEEN SERVICING VEHICLES FOR OVER 35 YEARS NOW BOTH PROFESSIONALLY AND AS A HOBBYIST. THIS IS CLEARLY A DESIGN FLAW TO THIS PARTICULAR ENGINE.

I AM A 29 YEAR OLD MALE. I AM SEVERELY DISABLED (QUADRIPLEGIC). I DRIVE A MODIFIED 2008 CHRYSLER T&C VAN WITH SPECIAL STEERING AND BRAKE CONTROLS AND A WHEEL CHAIR LIFT. I HAVE OWNED AND DRIVEN MY VAN 3 YEARS. IT HAS BEEN EXTREMELY WELL MAINTAINED. IT MUST BE A SAFE AND RELIABLE VEHICLE BECAUSE OF MY SPECIAL NEEDS AND PHYSICAL LIMITATIONS. IT IS THE ONLY VEHICLE ON THE PLANET THAT I CAN DRIVE. ABOUT A MONTH AGO, I TOOK MY VAN INTO CHRIS MYERS CHRYSLER, DAPHNE, AL, WHERE THEY REPLACED MY IGNITION SWITCH AND KEY FOB PER SAFETY RECALL #14V373000. ON FRI JULY 15, 2016, I WENT TO DRIVE MY VAN TO THE GROCERY STORE. I PRESSED THE DOOR OPEN BUTTON ON MY NEWLY PROVIDED KEY FOB AND THE VAN IMMEDIATELY WENT BERSERK. JUST ABOUT EVERY ELECTRICALLY POWERED DEVICE ON THE VAN EXPLODED INTO OPERATION - ALL AT THE SAME INSTANCE - WIPER BLADES ON ULTRA HIGH SPEED, REAR WINDOW WASHER SPEWING FLUID, HORN BLASTING, FAN MOTORS ROARING - AND ON AND ON! CONFINED TO MY WHEELCHAIR, THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD DO TO STOP THE CRAZINESS FROM THE VAN. ALL THE NEIGHBORS IN MY APARTMENT COMPLEX WERE NOW OUT IN THE PARKING LOT WITNESSING ALL THE OUTRAGEOUS THINGS THE VAN WAS DOING. I EVENTUALLY HAD TO GET THE HOOD OPEN AND DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY TO PUT A STOP TO THE VEHICLE SELF DESTRUCTING. WITH A FRIENDS HELP (A FRIEND WITH SOME VEHICLE MECHANIC EXPERTISE), WE CHECKED ALL FUSES - ALL WERE OKAY. WE WERE NOT ABLE TO START THE VAN - THE VAN WAS COMPLETELY "DEAD"! MY FRIEND MANAGES AN AUTO PARTS STORE IN GULF SHORES, AL, AND KNOWS THE SERVICE MANAGER AT GULF CHRYSLER, FOLEY, AL. AS SOON AS MY FRIEND DESCRIBED THE SITUATION, THE FOLEY SERVICE MANAGER ASKED IF THE RECALL HAD BEEN ACCOMPLISHED AND SAID IT WAS RELATED TO THE RECALL. THE NEXT MORNING, MY TOWING SERVICE TOWED MY VAN TO NEARBY CHRIS MYERS CHRYSLER. THEIR SERVICE MANAGER HAS PRESENTED ME A $1K BILL TO REPLACE A MODULE.

UPON PURCHASE OF THE VEHICLE (FEB 2015), WE RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE ON THE IGNITION SWITCH (R03/NHTSA 14V-373). WENT TO DEALERSHIP (DICK MEYERS CHRYSLER/DODGE IN HARRISONBURG VA) IN MAY 2015 AND WAS TOLD THAT WE WERE "ON A LIST" AND WOULD BE NOTIFIED. NEVER HEARD FROM THEM. DID A FOLLOW UP ON JAN 28, 2016 AND WAS TOLD THE SAME THING - "ON A LIST" DUE TO BACKORDERED PARTS. THIS DELAY SEEMS RIDICULOUS AND OBVIOUS TO US THAT CHRYSLER DOESN'T WANT TO SWALLOW THE COST AND HOPING PEOPLE WILL JUST GIVE UP.

THE TIPM IS A CAUSE OF THE VEHICLE HORN HONKING, WIPERS MOVING ON THEIR OWN, WIPER FLUID SPRAYING, AND THE LIGHTS FLASHING BY THEMSELVES. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE RANDOMLY STALL BY ITSELF ON THE HIGHWAY WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING IT AND THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. THESE ISSUES SEEM TO MYSTERIOUSLY GO AWAY WHEN I TRY TO DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE. LAST WEEK THE BATTERY DIED AND BECAUSE OF IT BEING A FEW YEARS OLD AND NOW BEING IN THE WINTER, I DECIDED TO REPLACE IT ONLY TO HAVE IT DIE AGAIN A DAY LATER. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A MECHANIC WHO TESTED THE CHARGING SYSTEM AND SAID IT WAS ALL GOOD. THEN PROCEEDED TO DO A PARASITIC DRAW TEST WHERE HE DETERMINED THAT THE TIPM WAS CAUSING THE ISSUES. I DID SOME GOOGLE SEARCHES AND FOUND THAT THIS IS A WIDE STREAM PROBLEM WITH MANY OWNERS OF VARIOUS CHRYSLER VEHICLES HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. THIS IS NOT SAFE ESPECIALLY WHEN THE VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN WHILE DRIVING IT AND THERE ARE NO POWER BRAKES OR STEERING CAPABILITIES. A PERSON COULD END UP IN A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT OR EVEN BE KILLED NOT TO MENTION OTHER DRIVERS BEING AT RISK ALSO. DOESN'T SEEM TO MAKE MUCH SENSE THAT CHRYSLER IS DRAGGING THIS ON AND NOT DOING ANYTHING NOT TO MENTION THAT I CAN'T EVEN ORDER THE PART BECAUSE IT'S ON A NATIONAL BACK ORDER. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES IN THE LAST YEAR AND A FEW TIMES LAST YEAR BUT THE TECH WAS UNABLE TO CORRECTLY DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE.

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR MY 2008 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY BACK IN MAY OF 2015. THE RECALL NUMBER IS R03 AND HAS TO DO WITH THE WIRELESS IGNITION NODE MODULE. I HAVE BEEN ON A "WAITING LIST" WITH MY LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP IN TITUSVILLE FL FOR MONTHS AND EVERY TIME I CALL I AM STILL "NUMBER 6 ON THE WAITING LIST". I AM CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF MYSELF AND MY FAMILY. IT IS NOT LOGICAL THAT THE DEALERSHIP HAS RECEIVE ZERO PARTS FOR THIS IMPORTANT RECALL IN ALL THESE MONTHS. PLEASE ASSIST.

THE VAN WOULD STOP AT LOW SPEEDS WITH LOSS OF STEERING AND BRAKING POWER. NO CODES WOULD BE TRIGGERED, IT WAS AS IF THE IGNITION WAS JUST TURNED OFF WHILE DRIVING. THE ELECTRICAL POWER WOULD STILL BE ON LIKE THE RADIO AND INSTRUMENTATION PANEL BUT THE STEERING AND BRAKING WOULD TIGHTEN UP; VERY SCARY FEELING. IT HAS HAPPENED TO MY WIFE DRIVING THE KIDS EIGHT TO TEN TIMES AND MYSELF TWO TIMES. THE DEALER SAID THE IGNITION RECALL WOULD TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT I THINK IT IS SOMETHING ELSE (TOOK DEALER 6 MONTHS TO GET THE PART IN AFTER OUR FIRST INCIDENT). IT GOT SO BAD THAT MY WIFE WOULD HAVE ME WARM UP AND DRIVE THE VAN AROUND BEFORE SHE WOULD USE IT. AFTER MY EXPERIENCES WITH THE ISSUE MY PROCEDURE TO HER IS TO PLACE THE TRANSMISSION IN NEUTRAL WHILE THE VAN IS STILL ROLLING AND RESTART THE CAR (THIS IS ONLY IN THE CASE OF POSSIBLY BEING REAR ENDED). ALSO, THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT WOULD FLICKER RIGHT AT ENGINE CUT OFF BUT NO ENGINE LIGHT. FIVE DAYS BEFORE THE APPOINTMENT FOR THE RECALL, MY WIFE WITH KIDS AND PARENT WERE IN THE VAN ENTERING AN ON-RAMP TO THE FREEWAY WHEN THE ENGINE CUT OFF AGAIN CAUSING THE VAN TO REAR END THE CAR IN FRONT. THE ACCIDENT TOTALED THE VAN EVEN THOUGH THE SPEED WAS AROUND 8MPH; NO AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. CHRYSLER OPENED AN INVESTIGATION BUT FOUND NO EVIDENCE OF ANY FAILURE FROM THE VEHICLE. HOW CAN THEY FIND ANYTHING WHEN NO CODES ARE TRIGGERED WHEN THE ENGINE CUTS OFF?

CONTACTED THE DEALER WHO STATED THEY DON'T HAVE THE PARTS. WAITED AND CONTACTED THEM AGAIN IN APRIL AND THEY STILL DON'T HAVE THE PARTS. CONTACTED CHRYSLER JEEP DIRECTLY WHO CONFIRMED THAT THE RECALL IS LEGIT AND RESPONDED WITH THIS "THANK YOU FOR YOUR RESPONSE. I HAVE CONFIRMED THE VEHICLE DOES CURRENTLY HAVE THE L25 WIN MODULE DETENT RING RECALL. REGRETTABLY, THE PARTS TO COMPLETE THIS RECALL ARE NOT AVAILABLE. WE DO NOT HAVE A TIMEFRAME AT THIS POINT FOR PART AVAILABILITY. I WILL FORWARD YOUR MOMS INFORMATION TO YOUR SPECIAL TRACKING TEAM. THIS WILL INSURE YOU ARE NOTIFIED AS SOON AS PARTS BECOME AVAILABLE. WE WILL SEND YOU AN EMAIL ADVISING YOUR WHEN YOU CAN RETURN TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS. WE RESPECT YOUR FRUSTRATION WITH THIS ISSUE AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE." THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUTS OFF NO MATTER HOW FAST YOU ARE MOVING. SOMEONE COULD GET SERIOUSLY HURT OR KILLED. HOW CAN CHRYSLER NOT HAVE THE PARTS. *TR

I EXPERIENCED AN UNINTENDED ENGINE SHUTOFF AT 40 MPH. I PUSHED THE GEAR SELECTOR FROM "DRIVE" INTO "NEUTRAL" TO GET A QUICK RESTART. NO FAULT LIGHTS SHOWED UP ON MY INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. THIS HAPPENED ONCE MORE IN FEBRUARY AND ONCE MORE IN MARCH OF THIS YEAR. I RECEIVED AN L25 RECALL LETTER FROM CHRYSLER IN THE SUMMER OF 2014. WHAT IS TAKING SO LONG TO GET REPLACEMENT PARTS? CAN'T YOU ENCOURAGE THEM TO COMPLETE THIS RECALL ASAP? *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD GOING BETWEEN 35-40 MPH AND MY CAR SHUT OFF. THE RADIO AND HEADLIGHTS WERE WORKING BUT THE ENGINE WAS OFF, THE POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING AND THE BRAKES WERE NOT WORKING CORRECTLY. I TRIED TO STEER ON THE ROAD BUT WAS APPROACHING A STOP SIGN WHERE CROSS TRAFFIC DID NOT STOP. SO I ENDED UP PULLING INTO THE FRONT YARD OF SOMEONE'S HOUSE TO SLOW AND FINALLY STOP THE CAR. THE FRONT YARD WAS LARGE SO LUCKILY I DID NOT HIT ANY MAILBOXES OR HOUSES. MY CAR HAD SHUT OFF IN 3 OTHER INCIDENCES BUT I WASN'T GOING AS FAST AND I WAS IN A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD SO I WAS ABLE TO LET THE CAR ROLL TO A STOP AND NO ONE WAS HURT. WE USE THIS CAR AS A FAMILY CAR AND I AM WORRIED THAT SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET HURT IF THIS HAPPENS AGAIN. I HAVE CALLED THE CLOSEST DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES AND CHRYSLER AND NO ONE SEEMS TO BE ABLE TO HELP ME. THEY ALL OF TOLD ME THAT NOTHING CAN BE DONE WITHOUT A CERTAIN PART THAT IS NOT AVAILABLE.

JUST YESTERDAY "3-7-2015" DRIVING AT A SLOW SPEED MY VEHICLE SHUT OFF, THIS IS THE 3RD TIME THAT IT HAPPENED. DRIVING AT A HIGHER SPEED WHICH I NEED TO DO MAKES THIS VERY DANGEROUS. I DID CONTACT CHRYSLER GROUP RECALL ASSISTANCE ON FEB 24 OF THIS YEAR AND TALKED TO A [XXX] AND HAD A VERY VALUABLE DISCUSSION, SHE TOLD ME TO GO TO OUR CLOSEST CHRYSLER DEALER AND REPLACE THE PART, PAY FOR IT AND CHRYSLER WOULD REFUND AND WHEN THE NEW PART WAS AVAILABLE TO INSTALL THAT. I WENT TO THE DEALER AND THEY WOULD NOT INSTALL IT UNLESS THEY GOT APPROVAL FROM THE CHRYSLER ENGINEERS. THE DEALER WAS TEMPE DODGE/CHRYSLER/JEEP IN TEMPE, AZ. I BELIEVE [XXX] DID SPEAK WITH SOMEONE AT THAT DEALER. I HAVE TRIED TO CONTACT YOUR OFFICE SEVERAL TIMES AND LISTENED TO YOU VOICE MAIL FOR HOURS WITHOUT BEING CONNECTED.

INCIDENT WITH CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY 2008 2/9/15 BETWEEN 4:26-4:29 P.M. DRIVING SLOW AFTER JUST HAVING GOTTEN A GREEN LIGHT (25MPH OR LESS) HIT A BIG BUMP IN THE ROAD. EVERY LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD LIT UP AND I FELT THE ENGINE LOSE POWER. THE VAN COASTED FOR A COUPLE SECONDS THEN SEEMED TO GAIN POWER BACK. WENT AROUND A BEND IN THE ROAD SLOWLY AND THE ENGINE LOST ALL POWER. IT DID NOT COME BACK AT ALL THIS TIME. I TRIED TO USE THE TURN SIGNAL TO GET TURN INTO A PARKING LOT. SIGNAL DID NOT WORK. NEITHER DID POWER STEERING. I COULD NOT GET VAN TO TURN INTO PARKING LOT. THERE WAS A MOVING VEHICLE BEHIND ME AND A PARKING LOT FULL OF CARS TO MY LEFT. I FOUND THE AUTOMATIC BRAKES WERE NOT WORKING. I TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL HARD TO THE RIGHT TO AVOID HITTING AN ONCOMING VEHICLE AND THANKFULLY THE VAN COASTED INTO A SNOW BANK WHICH STOPPED IT FROM MOVING ANY FARTHER. TURNED ON THE HAZARD LIGHTS. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE VAN INTO PARK AND MAKE SURE IT REALLY WAS NOT GOING ANYWHERE. I TOOK THE KEYS OUT OF THE IGNITION AND WAITED JUST UNDER A MINUTE. I DECIDED TO PUT THE KEY BACK IN THE IGNITION AND SEE IF I COULD GET THE VAN TO START. IT STARTED WITHOUT ANY NOTICEABLE PROBLEMS?! CAR KEY' ATTACHED TO KEY RING WITH OTHER KEYS. DID NOT RECEIVE A NOTICE IN THE MAIL ABOUT RECALL. LOOKED UP POSSIBLE RECALLS AFTER THE FACT AND YES, THERE IS ONE. AND IT IS MUCH MORE SERIOUS THAN CHRYSLER LETS ON. TRIED TO CONTACT CHRYSLER BY PHONE SEVERAL TIMES AND CAN'T GET THROUGH. IF THIS HAD HAPPENED IN ONE OF MANY OTHER PLACES I HAD BEEN DRIVING THAT DAY THE ACCIDENT COULD'VE BEEN FATAL. *TR

IT IS NOVEMBER AND MY VAN STILL ISN'T FIXED. THE DEALERSHIP AND CHRYSLER KNOW THAT I AM HAVING THE ISSUE AND HAVE HAD IT. I HAVE CALLED AND VOICED MY COMPLAINTS. I AM "NUMBER 5" IN LINE TO GET THE PART! SO, WHAT WILL CHRYSLER DO WHEN I GET REAR ENDED OR INJURED WHEN MY VEHICLE FAILS TO OPERATE. THE VAN SHUTS OFF AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK WHILE I AM DRIVING IT. IF I DIDN'T HAVE FULL, LIFETIME WARRANTY, THIS VAN WOULD HAVE BEEN TRADED IN THE YEAR AFTER I PURCHASED IT. IT HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS SINCE I HAVE OWNED IT. CHRYSLER IS NOT DOING ITS JOB TO KEEP PEOPLE SAFE. THEY HAVE NOT TAKEN MY ISSUE SERIOUSLY AND BRUSH IT OFF AS NOT A BIG DEAL. I HAVE A VAN BECAUSE I HAVE KIDS.

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING HOME LATE ONE NIGHT FROM WORK AND THE MINIVAN JUST DIED WHILE SHE WAS DRIVING. WHEN THE VAN WAS TAKEN TO THE REPAIR SHOP, THE MOTOR WAS BLOWN - VALVE SEATS ALL DROPPED IN ONE OF THE HEADS AND ALL OF THE MAIN BEARINGS IN THE CRANK CASE HAD DISINTEGRATED! SINCE THE DAY WE BOUGHT THIS VAN USED WITH 24,000 MILES IT HAD A PROBLEM OF "USING OR EATING" OIL AT ABOUT 1 QUART FOR EVERY 1,000 MILES. WHEN I CONTACTED CHRYSLER, I WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS NORMAL!! I WAS FLABBERGASTED AS I HAVE NEVER OWNED A CAR (I'VE HAD OVER 15) THAT USED OIL LIKE THIS MINIVAN DID. IT DIDN'T BURN IT OR LEAK, IT WAS BEING USED SOMEHOW. NEEDLESS TO SAY, IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND WE WERE LEFT WITH A $3,500 BILL TO REPLACE THE MOTOR. WHEN I CONTACTED CHRYSLER, I GOT NO RESPONSE. PLEASE CHECK ONLINE FOR A WEBSITE CALLED REPAIR PAL - THERE ARE LITERALLY THOUSANDS MORE CASES OF THIS HAPPENING. I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THAT THIS IS SOMETHING NORMAL. IT SEEMS CHRYSLER KNEW SOMETHING AS THEY CAME OUT WITH A NEW 3.6 PENTASTAR MOTOR TO REPLACE THESE AILING MOTORS IN 2011-2012 AND ALL NEWER MODELS. HOPEFULLY THERE ARE MORE PEOPLE JUST LIKE MY WIFE AND I HERE WHO HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

ONCE AT A FULL STOP THE CAR WAS ABLE TO RESTART ONCE THE SHIFT LEVER WAS PLACED IN THE PARK POSITION.

I BROUGHT THE CAR TO MY CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND PAID $800 FOR A CLOCKSPRING WHICH I WAS TOLD WOULD PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING AGAIN. IT JUST HAPPENED AGAIN 3 WEEKS AGO. THIS TIME I WAS IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC AND ALMOST CAUSED A MULTIPLE CAR COLLISION. I HAD NO CONTROL OVER STEERING WHEEL OR BRAKES. THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUTS OFF. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY SAID "WOW, I NEVER HEARD THAT BEFORE". REALLY?? BECAUSE MODELS 2009-PRESENT HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE YET YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. MY CAR WAS AT THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN FOR 11 DAYS AND I WAS TOLD THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS EITHER. I SPENT $900 ON A RENTAL FOR THAT WASTE OF TIME.

MULTIPLE TIMES THE ENGINE SHUTS DOWN WHILE DRIVING. NO POWER BREAKS, NO POWER STEERING, POSSIBLY NO HEADLIGHTS, POSSIBLY NO AIRBAG...HAVE TO THROW INTO NEUTRAL AND ATTEMPT TO RESTART. DOESN'T ALWAYS RE-START EVERY TIME. VERY DANGEROUS. TAKEN TO TWO CHRYSLER DEALERSHIPS SINCE THE RECALL AND THEY SAY THAT OUR VIN IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. I DON'T CARE WHETHER IT IS THE ON THE RECALL LIST OR NOT!!! MY WIFE AND FOUR KIDS HAVE BEEN IN THE CAR ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHEN THIS OCCURRED. *JS

A FEW MONTHS AGO I STARTED HAVING A PROBLEM WITH TURNING MY IGNITION TO THE "OFF" POSITION - IT WOULD ONLY GO AS FAR AS THE "ACC' POSITION. I TURNED THE VAN BACK ON, PUT THE VAN IN DRIVE AND BACK INTO PARK AGAIN THINKING I DIDN'T ENGAGE THE PARK ALL THE WAY. NOTHING. SO I DID IT AGAIN, AND AGAIN, AND AGAIN. IT FINALLY WENT TO THE OFF POSITION. AT FIRST THIS WAS HAPPENING ONCE IN A WHILE. THEN AFTER ABOUT A MONTH OF THAT, IT STARTED HAPPENING MAYBE HALF THE TIME AND NOW IT HAPPENS CLOSER TO 75% OF THE TIME. WHAT HAPPENS IF THE KEY GOES INTO THE "ACC" POSITION WHILE I DRIVING? WILL THE SAME THING HAPPEN TO THE VAN AS IT DID WITH THE GM VEHICLES? I COULD LOSE STEERING AND BRAKES AND MY AIRBAGS WOULDN'T WORK? I NEED THIS PROBLEM FIXED ASAP. I SHOULD ALSO TELL YOU THAT THERE IS ONLY ONE OTHER KEY ON THE KEY RING WITH THE VAN KEY. I AM VERY AFRAID FOR MY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF OTHERS ON THE ROAD AND MY FAMILY WHILE WE'RE IN IT. *TR

THIS VEHICLE DROVE STRAIGHT INTO A STOPPED VEHICLE RESULTING IN $8990 IN DAMAGES TO THE FRONT INCLUDING DESTRUCTION OF THE BUMPER, REPLACEMENT OF THE HOOD, ETC. THE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY; SOMETHING THE MANAGER AT THE REPAIR FACILITY COULDN'T BELIEVE. IN THE PAST YEAR OR SO, THE VEHICLE WILL "CAPTURE" THE KEY WHEN YOU ATTEMPT TO SHUT THE ENGINE OFF AND REMOVE THE KEY. YOU HAVE TO RESTART THE ENGINE AND CYCLE THE KEY BACK OFF TO REMOVE THE KEY. IT TAKES AS MANY AS FIVE CYCLES OF SHUTTING OFF THE ENGINE AND RESTARTING THE ENGINE BEFORE THE KEY CAN BE REMOVED. THE PROBLEM IS CONSISTENT BUT SPORADIC; I.E., IT HAPPENS A FEW TIMES THEN IS FINE FOR A FEW WEEKS AND THEN THE PROBLEM RESURFACES. *TR

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE ROAD I HEAR A LIGHT CLICK AND THE ENGINE SHUTS DOWN, AND STEERING BECOMES LOCKED AND I HAVE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. WHEN THIS CONTINUED TO HAPPEN AFTER I HEARD THE CLICK I WOULD LOOK DOWN AND THE KEY HAS MOVED FROM THE ON POSITION TO THE ACC POSITION. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES SINCE 11-14-2012 AND HAPPENED A LOT DURING 2013, I FINALLY CALLED CHRYSLER IN AUGUST OF 2013 WHEN THE VAN SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING AND ONE TIME WHILE SITTING IN LINE AT THE BANK AND THAT SAME DAY WHILE MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN AND ALMOST GOT HIT AS LOTS OF TRAFFIC DURING RUSH HOUR. I TOOK THE VAN TO AVONDALE DODGE AND THEY FINALLY REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP AS THEY FOUND IT WAS CRACKED THIS WAS IN OCTOBER OF 2013, SO MY CLAIM WAS CLOSED WITH CHRYSLER. VAN SHUT DOWN AGAIN ON 12-22-13 WHILE LOOKING AT CHRISTIMAS LIGHTS IN MY COMMUNITY. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL OTHER INCIDENTS SINCE 12-22-13 THAT MY VAN HAS SHUT DOWN THE LATEST BEING ON 6-4-14 WHILE DRIVING ON THE 101 FREEWAY GOING 65 MILES AN HOUR. I HAD TO THINK QUICK AND I REMEMBER THAT MY SON WHO HAS A 2005 DODGE RAM HAD THIS SAME ISSUE WITH HIS TRUCK AND HE TOLD ME TO PUT THE TRANSMISSION INTO NEUTRAL AND RESTART THE VAN AS IT WAS COASTING AND THEN PUT IT BACK INTO DRIVE. THE VAN RESTARTED AND I WAS ABLE TO GET TO MY DESTINATION AND BACK HOME WITHOUT ISSUE. I CALLED CHRYSLER ON 6-6-14 TO REPORT THAT THE ISSUE CONTINUES AND THAT IT HAPPENED ON THE FREEWAY THIS LAST TIME. THEY STARTED A NEW CLAIM AND HAD ME TAKE IT BACK TO LARRY H. MILLER AVONDALE DODGE. THE DEALER CAN STILL NOT RECREATE THE ISSUE! I FEAR FOR THE SAFETY OF MYSELF, CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN. *TR

MY 2008 CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY LOSES POWER WHEN STARTING CAR BUT ALSO WHEN DRIVING IN NORMAL ROADWAY CONDITIONS. NO OTHER KEYS ARE ON THE KEY RING. I HAVE HAD IT AT THE DEALER 3 TIMES FOR LOSS OF POWER ISSUES. FIRST TIME THE WEN MODULE WAS REPLACED WHEN CAR WOULD LOSE POWER WHILE DRIVING AND HAD TROUBLE RE-STARTING. REPAIR SEEMED TO HELP FOR ABOUT TWO MONTHS BUT THEN CAR LOST POWER BUT WOULD RESTART ONCE CAR CAME TO A STOP. FIRST TIME AT DEALER WAS TOLD CAR WOULD NOT COOPERATE AND THEY COULD NOT GET THE CAR TO STOP WHEN THEY DROVE IT AND NO ERROR CODE. I SPECIFICALLY ASKED ABOUT THE IGNITION AND WAS TOLD IT WAS DEFINITELY NOT THE IGNITION. WAS TOLD TO BRING IT BACK IF IT HAPPENED AGAIN - IT HAD HAPPENED EVERYDAY THE PREVIOUS WEEK INCLUDING 3 TIMES IN ONE DAY. TOOK THE CAR BACK AND WAS TOLD THEY FOUND THE PROBLEM AND REPAIRED BUT LOST POWER ON WAY HOME. WILL BE TRYING A DIFFERENT DEALER IN THE NEXT COUPLE DAYS BUT CAR LOST POWER AGAIN TODAY. FORTUNATELY, NO ACCIDENT YET BUT AM EXTREMELY CAREFUL WHEN DRIVING AND AM LIMITING MY DRIVING TO ESSENTIAL SHORT TRIPS. THE CAR MAKES A CLICK WHEN LOSS OF POWER AND KEY IS NO LONGER IN "ON" POSITION. SEEMS TO ME LIKE THE IGNITION. I TOLD THE DEALER WHAT IT DOES. *TR

I WAS DRIVING TO THE STORE AT APPROX. 40 MPH WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN I NOTICED MY DASHBOARD AND MY FUEL GAGE WENT DOWN , MY SPEED DROPPED I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS HAPPENING . MY CAR WAS SLOWING DOWN BUT SINCE I WAS GOING DOWNHILL I COASTED. I REALIZED MY ENGINE HAD SHUT OFF. I PANICKED BUT THANKFULLY THOUGHT TO TURN THE IGNITION SWITCH AND THE CAR TURNED BACK ON. I THOUGHT IT WAS A FLUKE. BUT THIS ISSUE HAS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES WHILE DRIVING. THE SAME SCENARIO. I REALIZED BY JUST BUMPING THE KEY IT TURNS OFF THE ENGINE. IF I TURN MY IGNITION AND IF I DON'T HOLD IT LONG ENOUGH, IT WILL MOVE BACK TO OFF POSITION. I MEAN I BARELY BUMP IT AND IT CAN TURN OFF. IT HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING AT LEAST 4 TIMES. I HAVE NOT GONE TO MY CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT TO PAY AN OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE AND I NO LONGER HAVE THE WARRANTY ON IT. *TR

MY VAN WILL JUST TURN ITSELF OFF WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING AND YOU LOSE ALL POWER STEERING AND ETC. WE HAVE HAD IT TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES. I BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE IGNITION SWITCH RECALL BUT I HAVE CONTACTED THE CHRYSLER 1-800 NUMBER AND CONTACTED THEM THRU THEIR WEBSITE AND THEY WON'T HELP ME. THE REPRESENTATIVE THRU THEIR 1-800 NUMBER WANTS ME TO PAY TO TAKE IT TO ANOTHER CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND PAY THEM TO LOOK AT IT AFTER I HAVE ALREADY PAID $800 TO MY LOCAL ONE TO HAVE A SWITCH REPLACED THAT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR

THE VAN HAS BEEN MAINTAINED BY ONLY THE DEALER FROM DAY ONE! THE PAST FEW TIMES I HAVE HAD MY OIL CHANGED, I KEEP HAVING TO ADD OIL MYSELF IN BETWEEN CHANGES. WOW, SO I THOUGHT MAYBE THE DEALER MESSED UP OR DIDN'T ADD ENOUGH OIL, BUT NOW HERE I AM DOING IT AGAIN. TWO DAYS AGO I ADDED 1/2 QT, WELL ONLY ABOUT 30 MILES LATER, IT IS LOW AGAIN. REALLY? NO LEAKS, BUT NO OIL. SO FRUSTRATING ALSO BECAUSE THE LIGHT HAS ONLY EVER CAME ON ONCE. I HAVE HEARD A CHIME 2X, AND BOTH TIMES, IT HAS LED ME TO CHECK TO THE OIL, BUT NEVER A LIGHT AGAIN. THIS VAN HAS HAD MULTIPLE PROBLEMS FROM DAY ONE, AND THE DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT IS TERRIBLE, WHAT ARE THEY WAITING ON FOR THE RECALL? WHEN THE VAN CUTS OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION AND SOMEONE GETS KILLED? *TR

I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH STALLING FOR MONTHS. SINCE FEBRUARY 2014, I HAVE TAKEN TO LOCAL SERVICE CENTER 3 TIMES BUT THEY CANNOT FIX IT. FINALLY ON MAY 1, 2014 AFTER THE VEHICLE STALLED 2 TIMES, I WAS INVOLVED IN A COLLISION. NO INJURIES AND THE ONLY DAMAGE WAS TO MY VEHICLE. CURRENT ESTIMATE TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE FROM THE COLLISION IS $1700. THERE IS NO ESTIMATE TO REPAIR THE STALLING BECAUSE THERE IS NO SOLUTION KNOWN TO CAUSE THE STALLING. TYPICAL STALL: WHILE DRIVING, THE POWER STEERING GIVES OUT AND THEN THE BRAKES LOCK UP. THE VEHICLE HAS TO BE PUT INTO PARK AFTER I ATTEMPT TO SAFELY STOP. THE KEY HAS TO BE TURNED ALL THE WAY TO OFF POSITION BEFORE IT WILL RESTART. FREQUENCY IS 1-4 TIMES PER WEEK. *TR

ENGINE BURNS OVER 3 QUARTS OF OIL BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE WITH AGE. I'M PUTTING ALMOST 4 QUARTS IN EVERY 2000 MILES NOW. BASED ON THE READING I'VE DONE, THIS IS A TOO COMMON PROBLEM.

I HAVE A 2008 TOWN &COUNTRY TOURING MINIVAN FOR 3 YRS BUT NOW AT EVERY OIL CHANGE THE MECHANIC TELLS ME THAT THE CAR BURNING OIL AND IT STALLING AND AT HIGH SPEED IT GETS LITTLE SCARY. IT NEED A RECALL THE MOTOR SHOULD NOT BE BURNING OIL EVERY 3000 MILES AND I ALWAYS CHANGE MY OIL AT 2900 AND CLEANING THE MOTOR GETS EXPENSIVE EVERY OIL CHANGE FOR ME GOES FOR OVER $150.00 BECAUSE THE MOTOR BURNING OIL HAVE THIS CHECK BEFORE SOMETHING HAPPENS. *JS

I NOTICED AT APPROXIMATELY 48,000 MILES THAT MY 2008 TOWN & COUNTRY WAS BURNING OIL DURING USE WITH NO VISIBLE OIL LEAKS AFTER TAKING THE VEHICLE IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS 3 QUARTS OF OIL LOW WHEN CHECKED BEFORE DRAINING THE OIL. I HAVE BEEN CHECKING THE OIL ONCE PER MONTH SINCE. THE VEHICLE NOW HAS ABOUT 73,000 MILES ON IT AND IS BURNING APPROXIMATELY 1 QUART OF OIL EACH 1500 MILES DRIVEN. I HAVE NEVER OWNED A VEHICLE WITH THIS PROBLEM AND HAVE READ OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE OF THIS SAME ISSUE. I AM LUCKY THAT I CAUGHT THE ISSUE BEFORE SERIOUS ENGINE DAMAGE AND REPAIRS WERE REQUIRED LIKE SOME OF THE OTHER RESPONDENTS. THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE CONSIDERED FOR RECALL OR EXTENDED COVERAGE IN THE EVENT THAT SERIOUS ISSUES OCCUR. OTHER ISSUES I HAVE EXPERIENCED DURING MY OWNERSHIP OF THIS VEHICLE I PURCHASED NEW ARE THE PREMATURE FAILURE OF THE FRONT HUBS AND PREMATURE WEAR OF THE BRAKE COMPONENTS. THE FRONT HUBS HAVE FAILED ON EACH SIDE 3 TIMES ALREADY IN THE 73,000 MILES AND NOW THE DRIVERS SIDE HUB IS MAKING A LOUD NOISE AGAIN SIGNALING THAT IT WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED SOON. I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS ISSUE WITH ANY VEHICLE THAT I HAVE OWNED. TO HAVE IT HAPPEN FOR THE 4TH TIME PRIOR TO 100,000 MILES WOULD SEEM TO BE A DEFECT. THE BRAKE COMPONENTS SEEM TO WEAR OUT EVERY 15,000 MILES AND THE ROTORS REQUIRE REPLACEMENT EACH TIME THE PADS WEAR OUT. THIS SEEMS TO BE A QUALITY ISSUE WITH THE PARTS BOTH NEW AND REPLACEMENT. *TR

I HAVE HAD THIS 2008 T&C SINCE 2009. BOUGHT IT ONE YEAR OLD WITH 20,000 MILES. AFTER THE FIRST OIL CHANGED I NOTICED THAT OIL WAS BEING CONSUMED SOMEWHERE. IT WASN'T BURNING OUT THE TAIL PIPE (NO BLUE SMOKE ANYWHERE, ANYTIME), SO THE ENGINE MUST HAVE BEEN USING IT. WHEN I CALLED THE CHRYSLER SERVICE DEPARTMENT, I WAS TOLD THAT IT IS NORMAL FOR ENGINES TO BURN A QUART OF OIL EVERY 1000 MILES. I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF ANY ENGINE USING THAT MUCH OIL EVER! I HAVE OWNED 16 CARS IN MY LIFETIME AND NOT ONE OF THEM EVER USED OIL - NONE! SO, KNOWING THIS I HAD TO KEEP 5 QUARTS OF OIL IN THE GARAGE AT ALL TIMES AND ABOUT EVERY OTHER WEEK I WOULD ADD ANOTHER QUART. SO MY WIFE WAS COMING HOME FROM WORK LATE ONE NIGHT AND THE VAN DIED WHILE DRIVING. I TOOK IT INTO A REPAIR SHOP (NOT CHRYSLER AS IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY) AND MY MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT ALONG WITH DROPPING A VALVE SEAT IN ONE OF THE HEADS, THAT THE ENGINE HAD ALSO SPUN 2 BEARINGS AND WERE SHATTERED IN THE OIL PAN. I HAVE ALWAYS MADE SURE TO KEEP OIL IN THIS ENGINE BECAUSE IT WAS USING SO MUCH AND WOULD CHECK IT REGULARLY AS I WAS ALWAYS WORRIED ABOUT IT - ESPECIALLY SINCE CHRYSLER SAID THAT IT WAS NORMAL - WHICH IT ISN'T! NOW I'M STUCK PAYING FOR A $3,500 ENGINE AND LABOR AT 103,000 MILES AND A 6 YEAR OLD VEHICLE. THIS IS ENTIRELY UNACCEPTABLE! I KNOW I'M NOT THE ONLY PERSON COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS SPECIFIC VEHICLE AS I HAVE LOOKED UP ONLINE TO FIND THAT THOUSAND'S OF OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. HONESTLY I CANNOT BELIEVE THE MOTOR HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS BY NOW AS IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR YEARS NOW! I NORMALLY DRIVE ALL OF MY VEHICLES TO 150,000 TO 200,000 MILES AND WHEN I HAVE SOLD ALL OF THEM THEY HAVE BEEN IN PERFECT RUNNING CONDITION - BUT THIS T&C HAS BEEN NOTHING SHORT OF A FAILURE SINCE THE DAY WE BOUGHT IT. WHAT MAKES IT SO HARD IS THIS IS THE 3RD T&C WE HAVE BOUGHT AND THE OTHER 2 WERE GREAT! *TR

WHILE DRIVING IN RESIDENTIAL AREA, VAN WOULD COMPLETELY SHUT OFF (STALL) WITHOUT NOTICE. RADIO/DVD WOULD CONTINUE. MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THE SHUT OFF IS THAT THERE IS NO POWER STEERING AND THE BRAKES OULD NOT WORK! IT'S HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE NEXT DAY THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE ONLY CODE WAS EGR VALVE CODE. TECHNICIAN DID NOT CONNECT IT TO THE ENGINE FAILURE. AFTER DISCUSSING WITH CHRYLER, THEY FELT THAT THE EGR VALVE DOES CONTRIBUTE TO THE ENGINE FAILURE AT LOW SPEED. *TR

THIS VAN HAS BEEN SHUTTING DOWN WHILE DRIVING TO OFTEN NOW. IT IS NOW A CASE NUMBER WITH CHRYSLER BUT NO ONE HAS SOLVED THE PROBLEM IT IS NOW BACK IN THE DEALER FOR THE 4TH TIME ON THIS INCIDENT. WE EXPERIENCED MORE THAN ONCE VERY NEAR ACCIDENTS ON BUSY ROADS. TOO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. I CAN'T BELIEVE THE AMOUNT OF PROBLEMS WITH THESE CHRYSLER'S SHUTTING DOWN AND FROM WHAT I REVIEWED ON LINE THERE ARE DIFFERENT YEARS INVOLVED. I HAVE THE 2008 ONE AND THEY RECALLED THE 2009 ONES.

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON THE DASH NEVER CAME ON NOR THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT MY ENGINE IS GONE AND WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED. I WANT SOME TYPE OF EXPLANATION AS TO WHY AND HOW THIS COULD HAPPEN FROM CHRYSLER. I HAVE NEVER HAD ANYTHING LIKE THIS HAPPEN AND THE SAD THING IS I'M STILL PAYING FOR THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE BEFORE. YOU COULDN'T HAVE NEVER CONVINCED ME THAT CHRYSLER HAD DEFECTIVE/LEMON VEHICLE TILL NOW.

AS I WAS DRIVING 65 MPH, THE MINIVAN JUST COMPLETELY SHUT OFF (ENGINE AND DASHBOARD). THE SPEEDOMETER DROPPED TO ZERO, THE CAR BEGAN TO SHAKE AND I HAD TO CUT THROUGH HIGH SPEED TRAFFIC (WITH MY KIDS IN THE CAR) TO SAFELY GET OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND THEN THE GEAR SHIFT BECAME STUCK IN PARK. I HAD TO SHUT OFF THE CAR FOR 5 MINUTES, RESTART AND THE CAR WAS FINE. I AM TERRIFIED TO DRIVE THIS CAR WITH MY TWO SMALL CHILDREN. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND NEVER HAD THIS HAPPEN BEFORE. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ ONLINE THIS IS COMMON WITH CHRYSLER. WHEN I CALLED CHRYSLER IN MI THE CUSTOMER REP REPLIED "OH WOW, I'VE NEVER HEARD THAT BEFORE". IF YOU DO A SEARCH ONLINE THIS HAS AFFECTED MANY CAR OWNERS. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE GETS INTO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. IF THIS HAPPENS AGAIN I WILL CONTACT LEGAL REPRESENTATION. *TR

THE FIRST PROBLEM WE NOTICED WITH THE VAN WAS THE BRAKES. THEY WEAR OUT WAY TO QUICKLY. IN THE 5 YEARS WE HAVE HAD THE VAN WE HAVE REPLACED THE BRAKES 6 TIMES AND ROTORS 2 TIMES. THE NEXT PROBLEM WAS WHAT SEEMS TO BE A WELL DOCUMENTED LEAK OF THE COOLANT ON TO THE ENGINE CAUSING SMELLY SMOKE. WE WERE FORCED TO BY THE PART FROM THE DEALER AS IT WAS NOT AVAILABLE ANYWHERE ELSE AND PAID OVER 100.00 FOR IT. THANKFULLY MY HUSBAND WAS ABLE TO REPLACE IT. NOW AT 80000 MILES THE KEY AND IGNITION HAS BEEN HAVING ISSUES. IT STARTED WITH NOT BEING ABLE TO REMOVE THE KEY FOB. THE ENGINE WILL CUT OFF BUT IT WILL ONLY GO INTO ACCESSORY. IF LEFT OVERNIGHT OR FOR SOMETIME IT WILL KILL THE BATTERY. IT STARTED OCCASIONALLY AND HAS PROGRESSED TO ALMOST EVERY TIME YOU CUT THE ENGINE OFF YOU CANNOT REMOVE THE KEY FOB. IT WILL RELEASE BUT IT IS AFTER SOMETIME SITTING IN PARK. IT IS VERY FRUSTRATING HAVING TO LEAVE YOUR KEY IN THE IGNITION AND BE FORCED TO LEAVE IT SITTING IN A RANDOM PARKING LOT AND JUST HOPE THAT WHEN YOU RETURN THE BATTERY IS NOT DEAD. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE AND IT IS VERY COMMON AMONG THIS VAN AND OTHER CHRYSLER VEHICLES. AT THIS POINT I AM SO FED UP WITH IT IF SOMEONE DECIDED TO STEAL IT BECAUSE THEY SAW THE KEY IN IT I WOULD JUST WISH THEM GOOD LUCK. I WILL NEVER OWN ANOTHER CHRYSLER !

IT STARTED BY ENGINE CUTTING OFF WHILE RUNNING DOWN THE ROAD 20 - 50 MPH WE SHIFT TO NEUTRAL AND RESTART IT. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING EVER SINCE WE PURCHASED IT FROM THE DEALERSHIP IN MYRTLE BEACH. THEY WORKED ON IT AND SAID IT SOMETHING ABOUT THE VALVES WERE DIRTY AND CHARGES US $300. AND IT CONTINUED CUTTING OFF ON US ON THE WAY BACK HOME. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME WE DRIVE IT. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP IN CONWAY, SC AND THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. I LEFT THERE, DRIVE AWAY ON THE BUSY HIGHWAY AND IT CUTS OFF A NUMBER OF TIMES. I HAVE COMPLAINED TO BOTH DEALERSHIPS A NUMBER OF TIMES AND THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO A LOCAL MECHANIC AND HE IS ALSO PUZZLED. WE HAVE REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP, WATER PUMP AND TIMING BELT, BATTERY. YESTERDAY, NOVEMBER 30TH WE CAME FROM LONG AVE. TO 701 APPROXIMATELY 3-5 MILES AND IT CUT OFF 5 TIMES WHILE DOING APPROXIMATELY 45 - 50 MPH. WE TURNED ONTO 701 AND IT CUT OFF 3 TIMES IN LESS THAN A MILE. THE LAST TIME IT CUT OFF WE MAKING A LEFT TURN, LUCKILY THE LIGHT WAS GREEN (BUSY INTERSECTION - 4 WAY TRAFFIC/SHOPPING CENTER. WE GOT THROUGH THE INTERSECTION AND PULLED OFF ROAD BECAUSE IT WOULD NOT START. WHEN WE TURNED THE IGNITION ON IT WOULD JUST CLICK ONE TIME. AFTER ABOUT 10 MINUTES IT STARTED AND WE WENT THE LAST HALF MILE HOME WITH THE VEHICLE JUMPING AND SKIPPING ALL THE WAY. WE ARE AFRAID TO LEAVE HOME ON IT FOR FEAR OF AN ACCIDENT OR GETTING STRANDED. WE FEEL THIS IS A FACTORY PROBLEM AND SHOULD NOT BE A BURDEN ON US. SINCE 1995 WE HAVE PURCHASED 10 CHRYSLER PRODUCTS AND THIS IS THE WORSE.WHAT DO YOU PLAN TO DO ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. *TR

TOOK IT TO A CHRYSLER DEALER WHO REFUSED TO FIX OR REPLACE THE ENGINE, BECAUSE I COULD NOT PRODUCE RECEIPTS FOR OIL CHANGES, SINCE THAT WORK WAS TYPICALLY DONE BY ME, OR ONE OF MY WORKERS.

I HAVE SINCE TALKED TO MANY AUTO REPAIR PLACES AND WAS TOLD THAT EVEN IF I HAD NOT DONE ANYTHING TO THE CAR AT ALL, THE ENGINE SHOULD NOT HAVE BLOWN AT ONLY 30,000 MILES. NOW I HAVE HAD A $42,000.00 TOP OF THE LINE LIMITED MINIVAN SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY, WHICH IS TECHNICALLY STILL UNDER WARRANTY.

HEATER HOSE STARTED LEAKING ANTIFREEZE ON ENGINE MAKING THE CAR SMOKE REALLY BAD. TOOK IT TO OUR MECHANIC AND HE LOOKED AT IT AND SAID "YOU DON'T EVEN NEED TO SHOW ME...IT IS THE HEATER HOSE. I CAN'T EVEN TELL YOU HOW MANY OF THESE WE HAVE DONE. WE ACTUALLY JUST FINISHED ONE UP YESTERDAY." SEEMS TO BE A REALLY BIG PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE ABOUT IT. *TR

CAR STARTED SMOKING ON NEAR DRIVERS SIDE WITH AN AWFUL SMELL. WAS ABLE TO DRIVE TO A DEALER WHO DETERMINED THAT THE RADIATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I PAID OVER $950 DOLLARS. AS I DROVE AWAY FROM THE DEALERSHIP, THE SAME SMELL AND SMOKING OCCURRED. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO PEP BOYS WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE REAR HEATER HOSE ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACE. FROM WHAT I CAN DETERMINE FROM RESEARCHING THAT CHRYSLER KNOWS THE "Y" PLASTIC PART IS FAULTY AND DOES NOT SELL JUST THE "Y" PART OF THE UNIT. CONSUMERS ARE FORCED INTO BUYING A HEATER HOSE AND LINE ASSEMBLY FOR OVER $100. THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS. *TR

1.THERE ARE TIMES WHEN RIGHT AFTER SHUTTING THE VEHICLE OFF AND COMING BACK TO THE CAR SEVERAL MINUTES LATER, IT WILL NOT START. THE KEY TURNS BUT THERE IS NO POWER. I HAVE REPLACED ALTENATOR, AND BATTERY AND STARTER. THE PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE IN THE IGNITION. 2. I HAVE REPLACED THE FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS AT 80,000MILES ,ALSO IN THE 3 YEARS OF OWNING THIS VEHICLE I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE FRONT BRAKESAND ROTORS 2 TIMES AND REAR BRAKES ONCE. 3. OIL SEEMS TO "DISAPPEAR" USUALLY 2 QUARTS IN A MATTER OF 1000 OR LESS MILES. THIS VEHICLE IS THE MOST UNSAFE VEHICLE I HAVE EVER BOUGHT. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE ON THE WORD OF CHRYSLER THAT IT IS A SAFE AND TRUSTWORTHY VAN. I HAVE BEEN STRANDED MORE TIMES THAN I CHOOSE TO COUNT, IN PARKING LOTS AND WHAT NOT MILES AWAY FROM HOME, WITH MY 3 SMALL CHILDREN. IT IS ABSOLUTELY [XXX] THAT I HAVE TO HAVE A "SURVIVAL PACK" FOOD AND WATER AND STROLLERS AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE IN MY VEHICLE AT ALL TIMES IN CASE WE GET STRANDED SOMEWHERE.

MY 2008 TOWN & COUNTRY IS BURNING OIL AND I IT STARTED WHO KNOWS WHEN. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED THE VALVE COVER 3 TIMES NOW. IT NEEDS REPLACED AGAIN BUT THEY ARE WAITING TO HEAR FROM CHRYSLER. I THINK THE WHOLE VAN SHOULD BE RECALLED. I BOUGHT A VEHICLE THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE SAFE AND RELIABLE NOT TAKE IT TO GET FIXED EVERY MONTH. I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO CHECK THE OIL EVERY 500 MILES. MY 1997 CHEVY BLAZER WAS NEVER THIS MUCH TROUBLE. I DON'T THINK I WILL EVER OWN ANOTHER CHRYSLER AGAIN UNLESS MAYBE IT'S FREE. ALSO THE KEY IS GETTING STUCK IN THE IGNITION AFTER BEING SHUT OFF. I HAVE OIL IN MY DRIVEWAY AND I'M STICK OF THE REPAIRS! *TR

BRAKES WEAR OUT AND STOP WORKING EVERY 10K MILES. ENGINE CONSUMES 1 QUART OF OIL EVERY 800 MILES WITH NO VISIBLE LEAKING OR DRIPPING. *TR

THIS IS MORE A DRIVE-ABILITY PROBLEM RATHER THAN A SAFETY PROBLEM. MY VEHICLES CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON. THE CODE SAID THE EGR VALVE WAS BAD AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. WHEN I WENT LOOKING FOR A PART I FOUND THAT THERE WERE SO MANY OF THESE FAILURES THAT THE PART WOULD BE BACK ORDERED AND I COULD NOT BE TOLD WHEN THE PART WOULD BE IN. THIS WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM BACK IN 2005 AND CHRYSLER NEVER FIXED IT. BECAUSE OF THE EGR FAILURE THE VEHICLE GETS POORER GAS MILEAGE AND PRODUCES MORE POLLUTION. *TR
