MY CAR STOPS WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WITHOUT WARNING, EASILY RESTARTS AFTER SHIFTING INTO NEUTRAL. HOWEVER, RPM GOES TO ZERO, LOSE POWER STEERING. DID NOT HAVE THIS ISSUE PRIOR TO KEY FOB RECALL. IT HAS DONE THIS SEVERAL TIMES, USUALLY WHEN WEATHER IS COLDER LIKE 30 DEGREE. HAVE ALSO NOTICE BLIND SPOT AID SYSTEM WILL PERIODICALLY NOT FUNCTION. HEATED SEAT LIGHT OCCASIONALLY DO NOT FUNCTION. THE BLIND SPOT AND HEATED SEATS ARE MINOR COMPARED TO CAR STOPPING DEAD. IT DID RECENTLY WHILE GOING AROUND A CURVE AND WAS VERY SCARY. I'VE TAKEN IT TO TWO DIFFERENT DEALERS AND THEY STATE THERE ARE NO ENGINE CODES SHOWING. I TOLD MY HUSBAND IF I DIE IN A VEHICLE CRASH, ESPECIALLY IF REAR ENDED OR WHILE TURNING TO SUE CHRYSLER. DO NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM IN WARM WEATHER. I'M AFRAID TO HAVE ANYONE IN MY VEHICLE, ESPECIALLY MY FIVE GRANDKIDS. I STAY OFF INTERSTATES BECAUSE OF THIS, AND HAVE SPENT MORE TIME LOOKING BEHIND ME FOR POSSIBLY GETTING REAR ENDED. THERE IS NO WARNING WHEN THIS MIGHT HAPPEN. ONE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME TO BRING IT IN WHEN IT HAPPENS, WHICH I HAVE NO IDEA WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN. ITS LIKE PLAYING RUSSIAN ROULETTE WHILE GETTING BEHIND THE WHEEL. THIS CAN HAPPEN ANYTIME, DRIVING 55, 35, 25 MPH, WHILE GOING STRAIGHT, OR TWICE WHILE TURNING. I THINK IT HAS TO DO WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, OR PERHAPS THE IGNITION SYSTEM AND KEY FOB RECALL. MY CAR HAS 84330 MILES. IT'S HAPPENED THREE TIMES IN THE LAST TWO MONTHS. FREQUENCY SEEMS TO BE GETTING GREATER.

MY 2009 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY ENGINE HAS STARTED TO TURN OFF RANDOMLY. IT IS HAPPENING ONCE OR TWICE WEEKLY. SO FAR, IT HAS HAPPENED AT SPEEDS 45 MPH AND UNDER. THE ENGINE SHUTS DOWN AS IF IN IGNITION MODE. I CAN PUT IT IN NEUTRAL OR PARK AND RESTART WITHOUT TROUBLE. THE 2014 RECALL WAS COMPLETED FOR THE KEY FOB AND IGNITION SWITCH.

HELLO, CAN YOU GIVE ME ANY INFORMATION ABOUT THE 'TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE' (TIPM) IN MY 2009 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY LX, 3.3L MINIVAN? HOW TO DIAGNOSE A PROBLEM WITH IT? ARE THERE KNOWN PROBLEMS WITH IT? MY VAN EXHIBITS THE FOLLOWING RANDOM CONDITIONS' 1.) HORN STOPS WORKING AFTER REPEATED USE. IT WILL WORK AGAIN AFTER A PERIOD OF TIME. RECENTLY, I HAVE PUSHED ON THE HORN AND IT WILL BLOW AND THEN CUT OUT AFTER A COUPLE OF SECONDS. THIS HAPPEN WHETHER THE VAN IS IN MOTION OR STATIONARY. 2.) STARTER WILL ROTATE THE ENGINE BUT ENGINE WILL NOT FIRE. THIS IS VERY INFREQUENT BUT HAS GOTTEN A LITTLE WORSE. ENGINE WILL EVENTUALLY START AND RUN FINE. AND THE NEXT TIME IT NEEDS TO START IT WILL WITHOUT ISSUE. ALSO, ONE TIME DURING THE SAME DAY THAT THIS HAPPENED, THE ENGINE STARTED BUT THEN IMMEDIATELY DIED.IT STARTED AND RAN FINE AFTER THAT. VAN WAS ALWAYS STATIONARY. 3.)CENTER MOUNTED REAR BRAKE LIGHT WILL LOOK VERY DIM OR NOT WORK AT ALL ONE DAY, AND THEN WORK THE NEXT. VAN WAS IN MOTION OR STATIONARY. 4.)CRUISE CONTROL WILL NOT ENGAGE AND THEN IT WILL. THIS WAS HAPPENING ABOUT A YEAR AGO BUT HAS NOT HAPPENED LATELY. VAN WAS IN MOTION.

THE VEHICLE WAS IN PARK AND RUNNING IN A PARKING LOT. THE VAN HAD BEEN RUNNING AND IN MOTION FOR APPROXIMATELY 10 MINUTES PRIOR TO ARRIVING AT THE PARKING LOT WHERE IT WAS THEN PLACED INTO PARK AND LEFT RUNNING WHILE WAITING FOR MY KIDS TO GET OUT OF SCHOOL. RADIO ON, HEAT ON THEN WITH NO WARNING AT ALL THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF, LOST ALL POWER. I WAS UNABLE TO REMOVE THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION. IT WOULD NOT GO INTO THE OFF POSITION ALLOWING ME TO REMOVE THE KEY. I TRIED TO TURN THE KEY TO THE VARIOUS POSITIONS TO START THE CAR AND NOTHING HAPPENED. AUTO LOCKS WOULD NOT UNLOCK, THE CAR WAS COMPLETELY DEAD. I SAT FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES IN A PANIC TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW CARS I WAS BLOCKING WERE GOING TO GET OUT OF THEIR PARKING SPOTS. THEN THE VAN SUDDENLY STARTED UP ON ITS OWN. MY HANDS WERE NOT ON THE KEYS, NOWHERE NEAR THE IGNITION AND IT JUST STARTED UP. WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF THIS OCCURRED WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND IN MOTION AND EVEN WORSE TRAVELING AT A HIGH SPEED???? THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE AS IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. THE VEHICLE DID RECEIVE THE RECALL FIX FOR THE ISSUE WITH IGNITION A COUPLE YEARS BACK AND NOW I WONDER IF THAT WAS EVEN THE REAL ISSUE SINCE MY VAN RANDOMLY SHUT OFF ON ME FOR NO REASON AT ALL WHATSOEVER. I DON'T KNOW IF THERE ARE ANY OTHER OFFICIAL REPORTS BUT A GOOGLE SEARCH PULLS UP MANY OTHERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE THIS YEAR WITH VARIOUS YEARS OF THE TOWN AND COUNTRY AND THE REPORTS ARE RECENT.

WHILE DRIVING USUALLY AT LOW SPEEDS (20 MPH OR LESS) THE CAR SHUTS OFF, THE STEERING AND BRAKES LOCK WHEN THIS HAPPENS. IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN THE MOST WHEN I AM COASTING AROUND A CURVE OR COMING UP TO A STOP. THIS HAS HAPPENED RECENTLY WHILE DRIVING OVER 35 MPH.

OUR 2009 T&C STALLED IN CITY TRAFFIC THIS MORNING WITHOUT ANY WARNING WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO BELOW 20-30 MPH (WITH THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT BRIEFLY ILLUMINATING AFTER THE STALL). IT HAD STALLED PREVIOUSLY 3 SEPARATE TIMES IN SIMILAR SITUATIONS WHEN EITHER MY WIFE OR SON WERE DRIVING THE VAN. OF COURSE WHEN THE ENGINE DIES THERE IS NO POWER STEERING OR POWER BRAKES WHICH MAKES HANDLING THE VEHICLE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT. THE VAN IMMEDIATELY RESTARTS WHEN YOU TURN THE IGNITION KEY, BUT THE CEL DOES NOT LIGHT UP SO THERE ARE NO CODES IN THE COMPUTER TO HELP DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT LOTS OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING. JUST READ THE BLOGS ON THE INTERNET. IF THE VAN STALLS WHILE MAKING A TURN AND YOU CAN'T BRAKE OR STEER, THEN IT'S JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE A POTENTIALLY SERIOUS ACCIDENT OCCURS. AS FAR AS I KNOW THERE ARE NO OPEN RECALLS ON THE VAN (IGNITION RECALL ALREADY TAKEN CARE OF). THE WEATHER WAS NICE AND STREETS WERE DRY.

MY ENGINE HAS SHUT DOWN ON ME FOUR TIMES IN THE LAST TWO MONTHS. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TWICE. FIRST TIME, REPLACED ABS. PAID OVER $2200, STILL SAME PROBLEM. SECOND TIME, NO ERROR CODE BUT CHARGED ME $130 TO CLEAN THE THROTTLE LINKAGE, STILL THE SAME PROBLEM. MY WIFE AND I ARE SCARED TO DRIVE IT. I DID A SEARCH AND FOUND SOMEONE WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM (SEE BELOW). CAN YOU OFFER ME (OR THE DEALER) ANY ADVICE ON HOW THIS CAN BE FIXED? ENGINE SHUTS DOWN DURING LOW SPEED OPERATION. PROBLEM OCCURS PARTICULARLY WHEN DRIVING AT SPEEDS OF 10-20 MPH UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS SUCH AS CONTROLLING SPEED IN SPEED ZONES, NEGOTIATING MODERATE GRADIENTS--DOWN HILL OR UPHILL, TURNING INTO LANE, AND IN TRAFFIC. WE HAVE EXPERIENCED THE PROBLEM ON CITY AND SUBURBAN STREETS AND IN PARKING LOTS. PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED WHEN THE CAR IS COLD OR WARM. THERE IS NO WARNING PRIOR TO THE SHUTDOWN OTHER THAN LOSS OF POWER AND ASSOCIATED ENSUING PROBLEMS: DIFFICULTY STEERING AND BRAKING DUE TO LOSS OF POWER; DASH WARNING SYMBOLS/LIGHTS TURN ON, BEGINNING WITH THE TRACTION CONTROL SYMBOL. WHEN WE FIRST EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM LAST WINTER (2015), CHRYSLER CHANGED THE IGNITION SWITCH; HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM HAS REEMERGED WITH INCREASED FREQUENCY OVER THE LAST 30-60 DAYS. OUR LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER HAS NOT IDENTIFIED THE CAUSE AND CANNOT DETECT A CODE DURING TESTING. IN JANUARY 2016, OUR DEALER PERFORMED A TUNE UP (HOPING TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM) BUT THE PROBLEM PERSISTS AND OCCURS AT A FREQUENCY OF 1 IN 2-6 OPERATIONS. (WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/CHRYSLER/TOWN_COUNTRY/2010/ENGINE/ENGINE_STALLS_SHUTS_DOWN_WHILE_DRIVING.SHTML ). THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE WHICH IS CAUSING CONSIDERABLE STRESS SINCE WE CANNOT FIX OR PRECLUDE THESE OCCURRENCES. - FORT WASHINGTON, MD, USA

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, THE CONTACT TURNED THE IGNITION KEY AND SMOKE BEGAN TO POUR OUT FROM UNDER THE HOOD. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AND HAD TO BE TOWED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 90,000.

Mileage: 90,000

WHILE DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 60 MPH WITH WIFE AND 3 CHILDREN, SUDDENLY WITH NO WARNING, ALL POWER TO VEHICLE WAS COMPLETELY LOST. THIS MADE IT VERY DIFFICULT TO SAFELY MOVE VEHICLE TO SHOULDER. IF TRAFFIC WOULD HAVE BEEN HEAVY THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. ONCE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IT WOULD NOT RESTART AND HAD TO BE TOWED 20 MILES TO DEALER. ONCE AT DEALER ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SEEMED TO FAIL FURTHER. POWER WINDOWS, LOCKS AND DOORS WOULD NO LONGER WORK. CLEARLY SOME SORT OF SERIOUS ELECTRICAL PROBLEM THIS IS THE 4TH TIME SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAPPENED, BUT WITH THE PREVIOUS INCIDENTS THE CAR ALWAYS STARTED ONCE IT WAS STOPPED AND PUT INTO PARK AND KEY WAS TURNED.

CAR IS DANGEROUS! ENGINE HAS STALLED REPEATEDLY WHEN IN MOTION. HAS BEEN IN FOR CORRECTIONS THREE TIMES WITH NO IMPROVEMENT. RE. L25/NHTSA 14V-373 RECALL, FOBIK WAS REPLACED BY ZIEGLER IN MICH.--FOLLOWED BY MORE STALLING, SUBSEQUENTLY BY PHILLIPS IN FLORIDA (ALSO REPLACED WYN/FOBC MODULE--9DEC15)--FOLLOWED BY MORE STALLING, SUBSEQUENTLY PHILLIPS UPDATED PCM & TIPM--5FEB16,CAR STALLED NEXT DAY AND THEN AGAIN THE DAY AFTER. STALLING USUALLY OCCURS WITHIN A MILE AFTER STARTING THE ENGINE. CAN THEN TURN OFF THE IGNITION KEY AND RESTART THE ENGINE. USUALLY THE ENGINE THEN RUNS WITHOUT STALLING. REGARDING "WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN?" STALLING HAS OCCURRED MOST RECENTLY SEVERAL TIMES IN DECEMBER, 2015 AND SEVERAL TIMES IN JANUARY AND FEBRUARY, 2016. I WONDER IF THE PROBLEM MIGHT NOT BE THE WIRELESS IGNITION NODE MODULE DETENTS, BUT POSSIBLY THE FUEL SHUT-OFF FLOAT WHICH IS A PROBLEM WITH MY 2005 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY--JUST A THOUGHT THAT MAY BE IRRELEVANT TO THE PROBLEM WITH MY 2009 T & C.

OUR CAR PASSED THE MARYLAND EMISSIONS TEST IN JANUARY 2016. CURRENT MILEAGE IS 96,342 MILES. I REPORTED THE PROBLEM TO CHRYSLER CORP., WHICH HAS A CASE FILE OPEN #28712527. IN ADDITION, I HAVE RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM ONLINE AND HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS REPORTS OF SIMILAR EVENTS WITH THE TOWN & COUNTRY WITH MOSTLY UNFAVORABLE OUTCOMES BECAUSE CHRYSLER CANNOT DETECT A MALFUNCTION CODE DURING TEST. (HTTP://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/CHRYSLER/TOWN_COUNTRY/2010/ENGINE/ENGINE_STALLS_SHUTS_DOWN_WHILE_DRIVING.SHTML ). THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE WHICH IS CAUSING CONSIDERABLE STRESS SINCE WE CANNOT FIX OR PRECLUDE THESE OCCURRENCES.

RECENTLY PURCHASED VEHICLE USED (DEALERSHIP FILLED WITH FUEL AFTER TEST DRIVE BUT BEFORE WE TOOK IT HOME). ON THE WAY HOME ON CITY STREETS (WHILE APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION), THE ENGINE STALLED CAUSING LOSS OF POWER BRAKES & POWER STEERING. AFTER PUTTING THE CAR IN PARK, IT STARTED UP & RAN FINE. A COUPLE DAYS LATER, MY WIFE WAS DRIVING IT & WHILE TURNING RIGHT AT AN INTERSECTION IT DID THE SAME THING. SHE BARELY WAS ABLE TO SAFELY COMPLETE THE TURN DUE TO THE LOSS OF POWER STEERING. AFTER THAT INCIDENT IT HASN'T HAPPENED AGAIN (BUT WE HAVEN'T FILLED IT WITH FUEL AGAIN YET). RESEARCH ON THE NET LEADS ME TO THINK IT IS THE COMMON PROBLEM WITH A VALVE IN THE FUEL TANK. WE ARE VERY NERVOUS DRIVING THE CAR & ARE DREADING OUR NEXT FILL UP. THIS IS INCREDIBLY UNSAFE & I HOPE CHRYSLER IS WILLING TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

Mileage: 120,000

WHEN WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE (AT AROUND 80K MILES) WE NOTICED THAT YOU COULD SMELL COOLANT AT TIMES, BUT WERE TOLD IT WAS NOTHING. WHEN WE TOOK IT IN FOR SERVICE WE WERE TOLD THAT IT WAS 2 QUARTS LOW ON OIL. I ASKED THE SHOP THAT DID THE FIRST OIL CHANGE, THINKING MAYBE THEY DIDN'T DO A PROPER JOB- HE MENTIONED THAT THIS WAS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS YEAR OF TOWN & COUNTRY. I TOOK IT IN FOR A RECALL- A GOOD FRIEND WANTED TO PERFORM AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. COME TO FIND OUT, IT WAS BURNING OIL AT A RAPID RATE. IF I HADN'T BEEN AWARE & CHECKING THE OIL ON ALMOST A DAILY BASIS, IT COULD HAVE RUN OUT & THE ENGINE SEIZED. THE BURNING OIL CAUSES ISSUES WITH THE RINGS AS WELL.

I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH MY 2009 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY IT HAS A 3.8 L V6 ENGINE AND A 6-SPEED AUTOMATIC. JUST RECENTLY IT JUST STOP AS I WAS DRIVING. I HAD JUST WENT THRU A GREEN LIGHT AND JUST AS I GOT UP TO ABOUT 30MPH THE ENGINE JUST STOP THE ONLY LIGHT THAT CAME ON WAS THE (ESC) LIGHT GOES ON, AND THEN POWER STEERING FAILS BREAKS DO NOT RESPOND. THE DEALER CHECKED IT THE NEXT DAY THERE WERE NO CODS SET. EXCEPT A REAR AC MIX DOOR HAD A PROBLEM AND A ABS CODE. BACK IN MAY I HAD A PROBLEM STARTING IT ACTED AS IF I HAD A DEAD BATTER, THE BATTER AND STARTER TESTED OKAY THEN IN JUNE THERE WAS A R03 SAFETY RECALL FOR THE WIRELESS IGNITION MODULE WHICH WAS REPLACED. THERE ARE ABOUT 37,000 MILES ON THE CAR.

BACKING OUT OF OUR DRIVEWAY, THE ENGINE UNEXPECTEDLY SHUT OFF. FOUND OUT THIS IS RELATED TO THE R03/L25 RECALLS. WIFE NOW REFUSES TO DRIVE THE VAN. IT WAS REPORTED, BUT NO ACTION HAS BEEN TAKEN BY CHRYSLER TO DATE. IT IS PART OF THE RECALL SO WE HAVE BEEN ON THE WAITING LIST SINCE JUNE. STILL WAITING TO BE SEEN BY THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP. I WISH THE TOWN AND COUNTRY IS PART OF THE CHRYSLER BUY BACK PROGRAM. I DON'T WANT TO OWN A VEHICLE FROM A COMPANY THAT DOESN'T RESPOND APPROPRIATELY TO THEIR RECALL (ESPECIALLY FOR OWNERS WHO EXPERIENCED THE SYMPTOM OF THE RECALL). THEY PROBABLY RATHER PAY THE BIG FINE TO THE GOVERNMENT AND RESULTANT INSURANCE CLAIMS. PLEASE HELP!

I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE ON THE WIRELESS IGNITION NODE MODULE ON MY VEHICLE WHICH SAID I SHOULD CONTACT MY DEALER "RIGHT AWAY" TO SCHEDULE A SERVICE APPOINTMENT. I HAD ASKED ABOUT THIS THE LAST TIME I WAS THERE ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE PARTS IN STOCK YET. LAST NIGHT, MY ENGINE SHUT OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN MY STREET, WHICH I ASSUME WAS A RESULT OF THIS DEFECTIVE PART. THANKFULLY I WASN'T GOING VERY FAST, BUT IT DEFINITELY SCARED ME AND COULD HAVE BEEN TRAGIC HAD I BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY, GOING AT A FASTER SPEED OR HAD ANOTHER VEHICLE CLOSE BEHIND ME. I JUST CALLED MY DEALER TO GET AN APPOINTMENT ASAP TO GET THIS TAKEN CARE OF AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY STILL DON'T HAVE THE PART AND WON'T UNTIL PROBABLY MID-SEPTEMBER. I THINK IT'S UNACCEPTABLE TO HAVE TO WAIT THAT LONG TO FIX A SAFETY ISSUE, ESPECIALLY WHEN I'VE EXPERIENCED A PROBLEM.

MY FAMILY (INCLUDING CHILDREN) WERE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE GOING THROUGH ATLANTA, GA ON VACATION HEADING TO ANOTHER FAMILY MEMBERS HOUSE FOR THANKSGIVING AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY VAN COMPLETELY CUT OFF. I LOST STEERING, ELECTRICAL, EVERYTHING!!!! LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO GLIDE OVER TO THE SIDE AND RESTART MY ENGINE AND IT SEEMED AS THOUGH EVERYTHING WORKED CORRECTLY FOR THE REST OF THE VACATION. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER BY EMAIL INQUIRING ABOUT THE RECALL AND OF COURSE JUST GOT THE "I'M SORRY WE'RE WORKING ON IT, BUT AT THIS TIME WE DON'T HAVE THE PARTS TO FIX IT." THAT WAS ONLY THE FIRST INCIDENT!!! IT HAPPENED AGAIN AROUND 03/15/15 - SAME EXACT PROBLEMS HAPPENED!

HAVE NOT RECEIVED A FOLLOW-UP NOTICE ON THE RECALL OF THE IGNITION FOBIK NOT FULLY SEATING WHICH COULD CAUSE THE FOBIK TO MOVE TO ACCESSORY MODE FROM THE ON MODE. I HAVE CONTACTED MY CHRYSLER DEALER AND ALSO CALLED THE RECALL ASSISTANCE CENTER (1-800-853-1403) SEVERAL TIMES AND KEEP GETTING THE MESSAGE THAT THE PART NEEDED FOR REPAIR/CORRECTION IS NOT AVAILABLE. THIS HAS GONE ON SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR 2015, WHEN CAN I EXPECT THIS TO BE RESOLVED?

I RECEIVED L25/NHTSA 14V-373 RECALL LAST SEPT AND HAVE NOT AS OF TODAY RECEIVED A 2ND NOTICE OF RECALL. I HAD ANOTHER EPISODE OF MY CAR IGNITION GOING INTO THE OFF POSITION WHILE DRIVING. LUCKILY THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT TO REPORT. THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE ON THE PART OF CHRYSLER. PLEASE GET THE REPLACEMENT PARTS MADE!!! I HAVE HAD A TOTAL OF 3 EPISODES WITH THIS HAPPENING WHILE DRIVING. THE FIRST ONE WAS IN SEPT 14 WHILE DRIVING ON I-80 AT 75 MPH. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE SHOULDER WITHOUT GETTING HIT. THE SECOND TIME I LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH IN CITY TRAFFIC A FEW MONTHS AGO. I WAS ABLE TO TURN A CORNER BEFORE GETTING HIT BY OTHER TRAFFIC. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO GET BUSY ON MAKING THESE REPLACEMENT PARTS AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. I CONTACTED MY DEALERSHIP THIS AFTERNOON AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY HAVE NOT RECEIVED AN UPDATED RECALL EITHER. *TR

WE HAVE HAD REPEATED ENGINE STALL/POWER STEERING MALFUNCTIONS WITH OUR 2009 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY STARTING IN DECEMBER 2014. (A VERY SIMILAR INCIDENT WHICH REQUIRED $2,518 IN REPAIRS OCCURRED IN 2012). STARTING IN DECEMBER 2014, THE ENGINE REPEATEDLY SHUT-OFF DURING OPERATION. TYPICALLY THIS OCCURS AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 25-45MPH. THE ENGINE SHUTS DOWN, STEERING CAPABILITY IS LOST AND THE AIRBAGS BECOME NO-FUNCTIONAL. THIS RESULTS IN VERY UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITIONS AS CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE. MULTIPLE CALLS HAVE BEEN MADE TO CHRYSLER. THEY STATE THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY UNDER RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE BUT A FIX IS NOT YET AVAILABLE. THE PART IS BEING MANUFACTURED AND MUST GO THROUGH QC PRIOR TO US BEING CALLED TO SCHEDULE A REPAIR. IN THE MEANTIME, THEIR ONLY SUGGESTION IS TO BE SURE NO OTHER ITEMS ARE ON THE KEY FOB DURING OPERATION AND I INFORMED THEM THIS WAS ALREADY THE CASE. THEY WILL NOT OFFER REPLACEMENT VEHICLE ASSISTANCE AND WE HAVE DECIDED THE VEHICLE IS TOO UNSAFE TO DRIVE...WE ARE A FAMILY OF 5 AND I REFUSE TO PUT MY FAMILY AT RISK BY CONTINUING TO USE THIS VEHICLE. AS A RESULT, WE HAVE HAD TO PURCHASE A NEW FAMILY VEHICLE WHILE THE CHRYSLER SITS IDLE. WE CONTINUE TO PAY FOR TAXES AND INSURANCE ON THE VEHICLE WHILE TAKING ON THE UNPLANNED EXPENSE OF NEW CAR PAYMENT. MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS AT CONTACTING CHRYSLER CARE HAVE GONE UNANSWERED. EVERYTIME I CONTACT THEIR ORGANIZATION, I REMAIN ON HOLD FOR 45 MINUTES OR MORE. I WOULD BE HAPPY TO ASSIST IN ANY WAY POSSIBLE TO HELP GET THIS COMPLAINT HEARD AND AN ACTIONABLE RESPONSE FROM CHYRSLER. I AM OUTRAGED THAT AN ORGANIZATION CAN BE SO IRRESPONSIBLE BY IGNORING SAFETY ISSUES IN ITS PRODUCTS. *TR

THIS CAN CAUSE THEN ENGINE TO STOP AT ANY POINT IN TIME (INCLUDING DRIVING WHILE ON A HIGHWAY). THIS IS NOT A CONDITION WHERE THE MINVAN SHOULD BE DRIVEN.

NOW THE KEY FOB RANDOMLY GETS STUCK AT 'ACCESSORIES' AND I AM NOT ABLE TO TURN THE CAR OFF. APPARENTLY THE IGNITION DOES NOT KNOW THE CAR IS IN PARK AS WELL. WHEN I GET TO MY DESTINATION, I AM FACED WITH HAVING TO EITHER LEAVE THE KEY IN THE IGNITION WITH POWER BEING DRAINED FROM THE BATTERY (SINCE THING ARE STILL ON)..OR CONTINUALLY DRIVING AROUND AND PARK, DRIVE AROUND AND PARK, UNTIL THE KEY WILL COME OUT. THIS IS AN ON GOING PROBLEM. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO MY MECHANIC HE GOOGLED AND FOUND OTHER TOWN AND COUNTRY MINI VANS HAVE BEEN REPORTED WITH THE SAME PROBLEM, INCLUDING SHUTTING OFF WHILE BEING DRIVEN GOING BACK AS FAR AS 15 YEARS! THERE IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURE DEFECT WITH THE IGNITION. ON A SEPARATE OCCASION, MY PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG OPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I PUSHED IT BACK IN PLACE...BUT SINCE I HIT NOTING, I DON'T KNOW WHY IT OPENED UP TO BEGIN WITH. EXCEPT FOR AFTER READING ABOUT THE FAULTY GM IGNITION AND HOW IT AFFECTED THE AIR BAGS. NOW I HAVE NO IDEA IF THE AIR BAGS WILL WORK OR NOT WHEN NEEDED. I HAVE COMPLAINED TO CHRYSLER OPENLY AND REPEATEDLY ON THEIR TWITTER ACCOUNT AND THEIR FACEBOOK PAGE, THEY MESSAGED ME ONCE THROUGH FACEBOOK AND SAID THEY CLOSED MY COMPLAINT (BUT WITHOUT EVER HAVING SPOKEN TO ME). AND THEY ARE CONTINUING TO IGNORE ME. THE PROBLEMS I AM HAVING WITH MY IGNITION ARE THE VERY SAME PROBLEMS OWNERS OF THE RECENTLY RECALL DEFECTIVE GM IGNITIONS ARE HAVING. I HAVE NO DOUBT THE IGNITIONS ARE ONE IN THE SAME. I WANT THIS DEALT WITH WHILE IT IS FRESH IN THE MINDS OF PEOPLE WHO DEMANDED THE GM RECALL! I WANT SOMETHING DONE TODAY! I'M AFRAID OF MY OWN CAR! PS THE ENGINE LAGS AS WELL.. THE RPM'S DROP BELOW THE MPH RANDOMLY. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, GOING UPHILL AT ABOUT 55MPH, MY ENGINE SUDDENLY BEGAN REVVING AND THE VAN SPED UP, THEN, I WAS UNABLE TO GET IT TO ACCELERATE. I PUSHED THE GAS PEDAL, BUT IT WASN'T ENGAGING THE ENGINE. THE RPM'S WOULD GO UP, BUT THERE WAS NO AFFECT ON THE VAN SPEED. THE TERRAIN CHANGED, SO THEN I BEGAN GOING DOWNHILL AND I CONTINUED TRYING TO GET THE VAN TO ACCELERATE TO AVOID BEING REAR-ENDED. FINALLY, THE ENGINE ENGAGED AND I WAS ABLE TO SPEED UP. THIS HAPPENED ONE MORE TIME DURING THAT TRIP. IT HAS HAPPENED A COUPLE OF OTHER TIMES SINCE THEN, BRIEFLY, BUT YESTERDAY, IT HAPPENED, AND I AGAIN, WAS NEARLY REAR-ENDED, AND I HAD TO COAST INTO A PARKING LOT TO GET OUT OF THE WAY OF TRAFFIC. (THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT HAS NEVER COME ON WHILE THIS WAS HAPPENING.) I WENT TO A MECHANIC WHO THEN TEST-DROVE THE VAN, BUT WAS "UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM." I DROVE THE VAN HOME AND THE PROBLEM HAPPENED THROUGHOUT MY TRIP (SPEEDS RANGING FROM 30-45 MPH.) IT WASN'T UNTIL I FINALLY MADE IT HOME AND WAS PARKING THE VAN IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE THAT THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT FINALLY CAME ON. I THEN TOOK THE VAN TO A LOCAL AUTO PARTS STORE THAT WILL RUN CODES AFTER THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. IT GAVE A CODE FOR SEVERAL POSSIBLE CAUSES, WHICH INCLUDED ELECTRICAL ISSUES. UNFORTUNATELY, THE GUY CLEARED THE CODE, AND I AM NOT ABLE TO DRIVE THE VAN IN ORDER TO SEE IF THE ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME BACK ON. (HE DID, HOWEVER, WRITE DOWN WHAT THE CODE COULD BE AN INDICATION OF - 4 DIFFERENT ISSUES TO CHOOSE FROM.) THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE, AND I HAVE READ OF NUMEROUS OTHER COMPLAINTS SIMILAR TO THIS. PLEASE, LOOK INTO THIS MATTER AND DO A RECALL OF THESE VEHICLES BEFORE TRAGEDY STRIKES! *TR

THIS IS THE LETTER I SENT TO CHRYSLER CORPORATION. I AM REPORTING THE OCCURRENCE OF UNEXPECTED ENGINE SHUTOFF AND LOSS OF POWER FOR MY 2009 CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY MINIVAN. THIS HAS OCCURRED 3 TIMES OVER THE PAST FOUR MONTHS WITH THE FIRST OCCURRENCE ON 30 NOVEMBER 2013; THE LAST OCCURRENCE ON 11 MARCH 2014; AND ANOTHER TIME BETWEEN THOSE OCCURRENCES. THE BELOW DESCRIPTION CHARACTERIZES EACH OF THE INCIDENTS: - WITHOUT WARNING THE ENGINE SHUT OFF - THERE WAS A COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND BRAKES - IT TOOK EXTREME FORCE TO STOP THE VEHICLE AND TURN THE VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD OUT OF THE TRAFFIC FLOW DUE TO THE LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES. - THE CONSOLE REMAINED LIT - ALL THE LOSS OF ENGINE CUTOFF INCIDENTS OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING I HAVE CONTACTED THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP SERVICE SHOP ABOUT THE PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY HAVE NO INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROBLEM, AND WOULD HAVE TO TRY TO RECREATE THE PROBLEM TO ADDRESS THE SOLUTION. I CONTACTED THE CHRYSLER CORPORATION CUSTOMER SERVICE (ON 28 MARCH 2014) AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE OF ANY SERVICE BULLETIN ASSOCIATED WITH THIS PROBLEM. THIS OF COURSE IS A VERY SCARY SITUATION GIVEN THAT ANOTHER LOSS OF POWER CAN OCCUR AGAIN WITHOUT WARNING. THIS CLEARLY WILL PUT THE RIDERS IN DANGER. I WAS FORTUNATE DURING THE LAST THREE OCCURRENCES, BUT THAT MAY NOT BE THE CASE THE NEXT TIME. I KNOW FROM INTERNET SEARCHES THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED WITH OTHER TOWN AND COUNTRY VANS. THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT THE CHRYSLER CORPORATION SHOULD INVESTIGATE. IT IS POTENTIALLY A LIFE THREATENING FLAW IN THE VEHICLE THAT CAN ONLY BE ADDRESSED BY A CORPORATE LEVEL INVESTIGATION, ANALYSIS, AND SOLUTION. NOTE: THIS PROBLEM IS THE SAME ISSUE THAT WAS THE SUBJECT OF YOUR RECALL FOR 2010 MINIVANS (NHTSA RECALL: 11V139000). *TR

IF I WOULD OF BEEN ON A CURVE IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN DIFFERENT. I HAVE SINCE THEN BOUGHT A QUICK RELEASE LOCK SO MY KEYS ARE NOT ATTACHED TO THE KEY FOR THE VAN. HAVEN'T HAD ANY PROBLEMS AS OF YET. BUT I JUST BOUGHT IT. JUST THINK THE DESIGN OF THE CAR COULD BE DIFFERENT TO HAVE THE KEY PLACEMENT SOMEWHERE ELSE OR CHANGE HOW THE KEY FITS INTO THE CAR TO AVOID THIS FROM HAPPENING. *TR

I AM REPORTING THE OCCURRENCE OF UNEXPECTED ENGINE SHUTOFF AND LOSS OF POWER FOR MY 2009 CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY MINIVAN. THIS HAS OCCURRED 3 TIMES OVER THE PAST SIX MONTHS WITH THE FIRST OCCURRENCE ON 30 NOVEMBER 2013; THE LAST OCCURRENCE ON 11 MARCH 2014; AND ANOTHER TIME BETWEEN THOSE OCCURRENCES. THE BELOW DESCRIPTION CHARACTERIZES EACH OF THE INCIDENTS: - WITHOUT WARNING THE ENGINE SHUT OFF - THERE WAS A COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER - THE CONSOLE REMAINED LIT - THERE WAS A COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER STEERING - IT TOOK EXTREME FORCE TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD OUT OF THE TRAFFIC FLOW DUE TO THE LOSS OF POWER STEERING. - ONE LOSS OF POWER OCCURRENCE HAPPENED AT HIGHWAY SPEED. THE OTHER TWO OCCURRED AT AROUND 40 MPH. - ALL THE LOSS OF POWER INCIDENTS OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. I HAVE CONTACTED THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP SERVICE SHOP ABOUT THE PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY HAVE NO INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROBLEM, AND WOULD HAVE TO TRY TO RECREATE THE PROBLEM TO ADDRESS THE SOLUTION. I ASKED ABOUT WHETHER THERE WERE ANY SERVICE BULLETINS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, AND THEY TOLD ME THEY HAD NO KNOWLEDGE OF ANY. THIS OF COURSE IS A VERY SCARY SITUATION GIVEN THAT ANOTHER LOSS OF POWER CAN OCCUR AGAIN WITHOUT WARNING. THE CLEARLY WILL PUT THE RIDERS IN DANGER. I WAS FORTUNATE DURING THE LAST THREE OCCURRENCES, BUT THAT MAY NOT BE THE CASE THE NEXT TIME. I KNOW FROM INTERNET SEARCHES THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED WITH OTHER TOWN AND COUNTRY VANS. THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT YOUR OFFICE SHOULD INVESTIGATE. IT IS POTENTIALLY A LIFE THREATENING FLAW IN THE VEHICLE THAT CAN ONLY BE ADDRESSED BY A CORPORATE LEVEL INVESTIGATION, ANALYSIS, AND SOLUTION. *TR

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING OUR 2009 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTY DOWN THE ROAD WHEN THE VANS ENGINE COMPLETELY TURNED OFF AS IF SHE SHUT THE IGNITION DOWN. THANKFULLY MY WIFE WAS ABLE TO COAST INTO A PARKING AREA WHERE AFTER SOME TIME SHE WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VAN AND PROCEED ON HER WAY. NUMEROUS TIMES I HAVE TRIED TO START THE VAN AND THE ENGINE WOULD NOT TURN OVER UNTIL THE KEY WAS TAKEN OUT AND FLIPPED AROUND AND THEN IT WOULD START. TWO DAYS AGO THE VAN WOULD NOT START AT ALL BUT ALL IF THE KEY FOB FUNCTIONS WORKED AND ALL OF THE ELECTRICAL GAUGES CAME ON. AFTER THE VAN WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP I WAS CONTACTED AND TOLD THAT A NEW WIN MODULE AND KEY FOBS WOULD HAVE TO BE PURCHASED COSTING APPROXIMATELY 800 DOLLARS. *TR

PURCHASED A 2009 T&C 3 WEEKS AGO, 47607MILES. FIRST INCIDENCE OCCURRED AFTER 1 WEEK. WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE LOST POWER STEERING, (ELECTRONICS, LIGHTS, RADIO, ETC REMAINED ACTIVE), I REALIZED THE ENGINE HAD STALLED/CUTOFF. I WAS ONLY GOING ABOUT 20MPH, I HAD TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND RESTART THE IGNITION. CAR DROVE FINE. TOOK THE CAR BACK TO DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY MACHINED THE REAR ROTORS. WEEK 2, TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN, THEY MACHINED THE FRONT ROTORS. WEEK 3, WHILE DRIVING THE SAME INCIDENT OCCURRED, ENGINE CUTOFF DURING OPERATION WITHOUT WARNING. LUCKILY I WAS IN A NEIGHBORHOOD AND SPEED WAS APPROX 15-25 MPH. ELECTRONICS REMAINED ACTIVE. (THERE WERE NO WARNINGS OR ERROR CODES WHEN THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN.) HAD TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND RESTART THE ENGINE. TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE THIRD TIME IN 3 WEEKS OF OWNERSHIP WHERE IT CURRENTLY REMAINS AS THEY TRY TO CHASE THIS GHOST. I AM CONVINCED THIS VEHICLE IS DANGEROUS AND NOT SAFE TO DRIVE SINCE THE ENGINE CUTS OFF RANDOMLY. I ASKED FIRST TEAM HONDA OF CHESAPEAKE TO TAKE THIS VEHICLE BACK AND I WOULD BUY A DIFFERENT VEHICLE. THE USED CAR SALES MANAGER OFFERED ME 75% OF WHAT I PAID FOR THE CAR 3 WEEKS EARLIER AND TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY VEHICLE. IT IS UNDER WARRANTY FOR 90 DAYS SO I WILL CONTINUE TO SEND THE CAR BACK AND WARN OTHERS BEFORE THEY PURCHASE AN UNSAFE VEHICLE. *TR

AFTER SUSTAINED HIGHWAY SPEEDS, OUR VAN STALLED UPON EXITING THE HIGHWAY AND COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP AT THE FIRST TRAFFIC LIGHT. THE STEERING WHEEL AND BRAKE PEDAL WOULD SHAKE VERY HARD IMMEDIATELY PRIOR TO STALLING. THE TACHOMETER WOULD ALSO DIP BELOW 750 RPM IMMEDIATELY BEFORE ENGINE STALLING. THIS SAME THING HAPPENED AT LEAST 10 TIMES BEFORE WE FINALLY TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE VAN AND SAID THAT THEY SIMPLY UPDATED THE ENGINE COMPUTER SOFTWARE. THE PROBLEM CONTINUED AND BECAME QUITE PREDICTABLE. THERE IS NO PROBLEM WHEN THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN AROUND TOWN SINCE I DON'T GET ONTO A HIGHWAY TO GO TO WORK OR SHOP. IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME NOW AFTER WE'VE BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY FOR A WHILE AND EXIT. SOMETIMES IT WILL STALL BEFORE WE CAN EVEN COME TO A COMPLETE STOP WHICH CONCERNS ME GREATLY. OUR VEHICLE RECENTLY RAN OUT OF IT'S REGULAR 3 YEAR/36,000 MILE WARRANTY SO WE TOOK IT TO OUR REGULAR MECHANIC BECAUSE WE WANTED ANOTHER OPINION AND TO FINALLY GET IT FIXED EVEN IF IT HAD TO BE AT OUR OWN EXPENSE. OUR MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS WITH THE TORQUE CONVERTER. APPARENTLY THE TORQUE CONVERTER IS INTENDED TO HELP THE TRANSMISSION GET BETTER GAS MILEAGE WHEN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. UPON EXITING THE HIGHWAY, THE TORQUE CONVERTER IS NOT PROPERLY DISENGAGING WHICH IS RESULTING IN OUR ENGINE STALLING ISSUE. INSTEAD OF CHARGING US TO FIX THE PROBLEM HE TOLD US TO HAVE OUR DEALER FIX IT SINCE IT SHOULD STILL BE COVERED BY THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY AS WE HAVE JUST OVER 40,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. AFTER 3 DAYS WITH THE DEALER, THEY HAVE YET TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE AND CLAIM THAT THEY CANNOT REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM. NEEDLESS TO SAY, WE ARE EXTREMELY FRUSTRATED. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO EITHER FIX THE PROBLEM OR REPLACE THE VEHICLE. *TT
