2010 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY Service Brakes Problems

At random times, the ignition will shut down while driving, causing the power steering and power brakes to lose function. The only way to correct this is to shift gear into neutral and restart the engine. This has occurred while driving in town and on the highway without any warning or warning lights on the dashboard. This could result in a crash and harm to passengers due to not having control over steering and brakes while the vehicle is in motion. This problem has occurred multiple times in the past year or so. The vehicle was taken to a mechanic who ran a diagnostic, but was unable to identify the issue and it would not replicate. I researched the vehicle symptoms, and found a recall from 2015 that related to the same issues (TSB# R03, WIN Modual FOBIK replacement). All additional keys and keychain/FOB were removed from the ignition key to see if this would help. Since the issue was still happening, it was then taken to a Chrysler dealership, where again the diagnostics did not reveal the issue and they were unable to replicate the problem. Multiple attempts made to discuss this issue with Chrysler without any assistance in finding a solution thus far. This vehicle is normally driven daily as a family car and regularly transports children. This is a huge safety concern and issue that needs to be addressed and fixed, as the vehicle is unsafe to drive at this point and the potential liability is great.

Going about 30 mph with NO WARNING, The traction control light came on it beeped and the car stalled the power steering died as did the brakes. I tried to stop the car and the ABS kicked in but not fully. I was able to yank the steering wheel enough to round a corner avoid another vehicle and get to a safe place to stop. I restarted the car and it was as if nothing occurred. I believe there is a serious flaw in the computer system and an upgrade is needed!!! I used and OBD II reader and there were no codes that came up. The car only has 89,000 miles on it. This is a serious safety concern. If I had stalled on a highway on a curve, with no real way to stop it or steer it in time with out serious struggle, the outcome could have endangered not only myself and those in my car but other motorists!! Looking online I’m terrified to even drive this vehicle… apparently this is happening a lot with this model. (HOW!!!???) Someone really needs to look at this problem!

Van will suddenly shut engine down resulting in loss of brakes, power steering and all other systems. Van must need to be restarted by turning key off and back to run position. Seems to happen at lower speeds and is an intermittent issue that can’t be duplicated on command. Is becoming more frequent. (3 times in 2 days most recently) Will stall in the middle of the road and unable to safely move over. Tractions control light will turn on.

Engine stops while driving. Has happened multiple times and is extremely dangerous. Have been told it is a bad TIPM which was recalled on other models, but not mine????

I was driving about 30 mph when I couldn’t accelerate or brake. The power steering also went out. I saw the traction light on. As I tried to move to the shoulder, I almost got hit. I turned the van off and then restarted it. When it started back up, no lights were on. This has done this to me every time I’ve driven it in the past 2 weeks. It is a big safety issue. I’m scared to drive it. I just recently had the fuel injector and spark plugs replaced. This did not fix the issue.

WHEN DRIVING, THE VEHICLE WOULD SHUT OFF , STEERING WHEEL BECAME STIFF AND BRAKES WOULD NOT WORK, AS IF IT LOST ALL POWER. THERE WOULD BE ABS AND 'SLIPPERY' SYMBOL ON THE DASH BOARD. IT WOULD HAPPEN DURING TURNING TOO AND SINCE THE STEERING WHEEL WAS STIFF, I WAS NOT ABLE TO TURN IT BACK STRAIGHT AND HAD TO STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. THIS VEHICLE STALLING HAPPENED A FEW TIMES AND KEPT GETTING MORE FREQUENT. I TOOK IT TO DEALER FEW TIMES. THEY FOUND CODE C121C STORED IN ABS MODULE ONCE, BUT COULD NOT IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM. I READ UP ONLINE THAT OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND ARE REPLACING THE EGR VALVE. I ASKED DEALER TO REPLACE THAT EVEN THOUGH THEY DID NOT THINK THAT WAS THE PROBLEM. EVER SINCE THEY REPLACE THE EGR VALVE, IT HAS BEEN RUNNING OKAY. ITS SURPRISING THAT CHRYSLER DEALER DID NOT KNOW OF THIS KNOW ISSUE. BUT IT IS DEFINITELY NOT SAFE SINCE THE VEHICLE STALLS ANYTIME WITHOUT NOTICE AND YOU CANNOT EVEN CONTROL THE STEERING WHEEL OR BRAKES.

WHILE DRIVING, MY 2010 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY WILL COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. I HAVE NO BRAKES, NO STEERING CONTROL AND MY ENGINE COMPLETELY DOES. IT HAPPENS AT TIMES WHEN I AM COASTING OR DRIVING AT A SLOWER SPEED. I HAVE 2 LITTLE KIDS AND IT IS TERRIFYING WHEN I'VE LOST COMPLETE CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE, AND I NEED TO TRY AND MOVE OFF THE ROAD OR TRY AND RESTART IT AT AN INTERSECTION WITH TRAFFIC ALL AROUND ME. THERE IS NO PATTERN TO THE SHUT DOWN, IT JUST HAPPENS SPORADICALLY. I'VE BEEN READING, AND IT SEEMS THAT THERE ARE A TON OF COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME THING HAPPENS TO OTHER PEOPLE! PLEASE PLEASE CONSIDER THIS ISSUE AS A SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS DEFECT TO THE VEHICLE.

THE ENGINE SHUTS DOWN WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AND MAKING THIS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WHERE INNOCENT PEOPLE CAN BE AT RISK OF ACCIDENT WITHOUT WARNING SINCE YOU DON'T HAVE STEERING OR BRAKES WHEN IT THE ENGINE SHUTS DOWN

Mileage: 110,000

THE VAN JUST AT ITS OWN CHOICE CUTS OFF, YOU CAN BE GOING 5 MPH OR 70MPH. THERE IS NO WARNING, THEN YOU LOSE STEERING AND BRAKING WITH THE ENGINE OFF. AFTER YOU GET IT STOPPED IT STARTS RIGHT BACK UP BUT YOU DON'T KNOW FOR HOW LONG BEFORE IT DOES IT AGAIN. THERE IS A RECALL ON THE IGNITI0N BOX BUT NOT FOR MY VIN NUMBER, CHRYSLER NEEDS TO EXPAND THE YEARS ON THAT RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT BADLY OR KILLED...

ON WEDNESDAY 2/19/20, THE ENGINE SHUT OFF SUDDENLY WHILE DRIVING. THE STEERING AND BRAKES WERE OPERATING WITHOUT POWER ASSIST AND THE CAR WAS DIFFICULT TO STOP. THIS HAPPENED AT SLOW SPEED WHILE TURNING INTO A PARKING LOT SO THE CAR WAS ABLE TO BE STOPPED. THE CAR WAS PUT INTO PARK AND RESTARTED. IT OPERATED FINE IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE INCIDENT.

WHILE DRIVING, ENGINE TURNS OFF RANDOMLY AND RENDERS THE POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES TO LOSE THEIR FUNCTION AS WELL. THIS HAS MADE DRIVING THE VEHICLE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT HAPPENS RANDOMLY AND WITHOUT WARNING AND HAS CAUSED SOME CLOSE CALLS ON THE ROAD, WHICH IS WHAT PROMPTED ME TO DISCONTINUE DRIVING THE VAN AND TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THERE ARE NO OPEN RECALLS FOR MY VEHICLE, HOWEVER, SAFETY RECALL R03 DESCRIBES EXACTLY WHAT IS HAPPENING TO MY VAN AND INCLUDES VEHICLES IN MODEL YEAR 2010.

COMING TO A STOP OR SLOWING DOWN OR EVEN CRUISING AT EVEN 40 MPH, THE RPM'S WILL DROP TO ZERO WITHOUT WARNING AND THE ENGINE WILL SHUT OFF. SOMETIME THIS WILL BE PRECEDED BY A JERKING MOTION IN THE CAR. IF WE PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL WE CAN IMMEDIATELY RESTART THE ENGINE. THIS IS DANGEROUS AS WE LOSE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES WHEN THIS HAPPENS AND IF WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF A TURN IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO COMPLETE THE TURN AND WE ARE EXPOSED TO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. WE HAVE NEVER YET HAD THESE IGNITION PROBLEMS OCCUR ON THE HIGHWAY. ALSO, OUR IGNITION KEY FOB HAS MANY TIMES MYSTERIOUSLY TURNED OUR CAR ON OR OFF, HAS CAUSED THE ALARM TO COME ON, HAS LOCKED AND UNLOCKED OUR CAR, AND HAS EVEN OPENED OUR WINDOWS PART WAY WHEN WE ARE APPROACHING OUR VAN. THESE THINGS HAVE BEEN OCCURRING FOR ABOUT 4 YEARS. WE HAVE HAD A CHRYSLER DEALER SERVICE DEPT. AND ANOTHER REPUTABLE MECHANIC BOTH UNSUCCESSFUL AT FINDING THE CAUSE OF THESE PROBLEMS.

Mileage: 136,000

THIS VEHICLE SIMPLY SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING WHICH DISABLES POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES MAKING IT EXTREMELY DANGERS. I'VE READ HUNDREDS OF ACCOUNTS OF THIS HAPPENING TO OTHER PEOPLE ALSO.

IT HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES NOW.

Mileage: 50,000

I OWN A 2010 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY AND FOR 3 MONTHS WE HAVE BEEN LIVING A NIGHTMARE. IT POWERS DOWN WHILE WE ARE DRIIVNG IT, WE LOSE STEERING AND BREAKS. IT HAS HAPPENED IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTIONS, WITH CARS BEHIND US, ON HILLS AND COASTED BACKWARDS AND WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE VAN WITH ME. IT HAS SPENT 3 MONTHS IN AND OUT OF SEVERAL GARAGES. IT HAS HAD NUMEROUS PARTS REPLACED, SUCH AS THE BATTERY, ABS MODULE, AND THE PCM. EVEN AFTER ALL THESE PARTS WERE REPLACED AND WE HAVE SPENT QUITE A BIT OF MONEY TO HAVE THEM FIXED IT STILL DOENS'T RUN PROPERLY AND SHUTS DOWN WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING IT. IT IS SUCH A SAFETY CONCERN THAT WE WON'T ALLOW ARE CHILDREN TO RIDE IN IT. SO I OWN $10,000 ON A VAN THAT I CANT TAKE OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY BECAUSE IT ISN'T SAFE TO BE ON THE ROAD. I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER WITH MY VIN NUMBER AND THEY SAY THERE ARE NO COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS VEHICLE CURRENTLY AND NO RECALLS THAT HAVEN'T BEEN SATISFIED. SO I HAVE A LOAN PAYMENT AND AN UNSAFE VEHICLE WITH NO RESOLUTION ANYWHERE IN SIGHT.

4.0 L V6 ENGINE 1) WHILE TURNING RIGHT FROM A STOP ONTO HIGHWAY, THE POWER STEERING FAILED. - I DROVE INTO THE PASSING LANE, LUCKILY NO ONE WAS IN THAT LANE AT THE TIME.

WE HAVE A LOSS OF BRAKE FLUID. WE HAVE HAD A MECHANIC'S OPINION HE DOESN'T KNOW WHY WE ARE LOSING FLUID. ALL HOSES, RESERVOIR HAS BEEN CHECKED AND NO SIGN OF THE PROBLEM.

WHILE DRIVING, THE ENGINE CUT OUT AND I LOST POWER TO STEERING AND BRAKES. THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT THEN CAME ON WHEN I FINALLY PULLED OVER. AFTER RESETTING, THE VEHICLE STARTED AND DROVE NORMALLY. IF THIS HAPPENED ON A BUSY ROAD, SERIOUS INJURY WOULD HAVE OCCURRED TO THE PASSENGERS IN MY VEHICLE AND ANYONE ELSE I WOULD HAVE STRUCK DUE TO LOSS OF CONTROL.

Mileage: 147,000

APPROXIMATELY TWO MONTHS AGO THE 2010 T&C BEGAN BEING SLUGGISH TO START. WE REPLACED THE BATTERY AND IT STARTED FINE. A WEEK AFTER IT BEGAN TO STALL WITH THE DASH LIGHTS TURNING ON AND OFF.

CURRENTLY IT HAD STALLED AND TURNED OFF SEVERAL TIMES - EXTREMELY STRESSFUL AND DANGEROUS.

Mileage: 99,000

THE VAN WILL LOSE ALL POWER NO MATTER THE SPEED. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS WITHIN THE PAST YEAR. WILL HAVE TO STOP TURN VAN OFF, THEN RESTART. SOMETIMES TAKES LONGER THAN OTHERS BUT HAS RESTARTED AND WILL HAPPEN AGAIN AFTER A LITTLE WHILE FOR NO REASON. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED BEFORE SOMETHING MORE SERIOUS HAPPENS. PLEASE FIX THIS. MY FAMILIES LIFE DOES MATTER AND SO DOES OTHERS>>>....

VEHICLE STALLS RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING. THIS CAUSES STEERING TO LOCK AND BREAKS TO MALFUNCTION. VERY DANGEROUS. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OCASIONS

Mileage: 90,000

THE CAR GOES FROM THE "RUN" POSITION TO THE "ACCESSORY" POSITION ALL BY ITSELF WHILE DRIVING ON STREETS. WHEN THAT HAPPENS YOU HAVE NO POWER STEERING OR BRAKES AND THE ENGINE TURNS OFF. SINCE YOU HAVE NO STEERING OR BRAKES, YOU CAN'T CONTROL THE CAR OR STOP IT. VERY DANGEROUS/ LIFE THREATENING. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS ON 2010 TOWN & COUNTRY'S, BUT THEY TELL ME THAT MY CAR IS 4 MONTHS OUTSIDE OF THAT RECALL. SO THEY KNOW IT WAS AN ISSUE AND STILL IS.

CAR ENGINE DIES MAKING BRAKES GAS PEDAL AND STEERING GO OUT! CAR COMPLAINTS.COM HAS A REPORT ON THIS PROBLEM?! DIRECTED ME TO THIS WEBSITE. PLEASE HELP FEAR FOR MINE AND KIDS SAFETY DRIVING THIS VEHICLE UNDER THESE CIRCUMSTANCES! WE WERE DRIVING WHILE THIS TOOK PLACE.

WE'VE HAD A SPORADIC, REOCCURRING PROBLEM WHERE THE ENGINE SHUTS DOWN WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THE VAN WILL LOSE ACCELERATION, THE POWER STEERING FAILS, (AT LEAST ONE TIME THE POWER BRAKES FAILED AS WELL) AND THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT ILLUMINATES. AS THESE HAPPEN, YOU REALIZE THAT THEY WERE CAUSED BECAUSE THE ENGINE HAS JUST PERFORMED AN UNCOMMANDED (BY THE DRIVER) SHUTDOWN. UNFORTUNATELY, NONE OF THESE SYMPTOMS ARE NECESSARILY IMMEDIATELY OBVIOUS. FOR INSTANCE, WHEN TRAVELING STRAIGHT (NOT USING POWER STEERING), AT LOW SPEEDS (NOT ACCELERATING), THE FIRST INDICATION OF FAILURE IS THAT THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT HAS ILLUMINATED. THE FAR MORE CONCERNING ISSUE IS WHEN YOU REALIZE THAT THE ENGINE (AND SYSTEMS) HAS FAILED WHILE ATTEMPTING TO TURN THROUGH AN INTERSECTION. AFTER THE ENGINE FAILS IT WILL RESTART IMMEDIATELY. THE ISSUE IS CONTROLLING THE VEHICLE -AFTER LOSING POWER STEERING, THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE, TRACTION CONTROL, AND BRAKES - THROUGH THE FAILURE, IN TRAFFIC, OFTEN ON CONTAMINATED ROADS (RAIN, SNOW, OR ICE ARE COMMON FALL THROUGH EARLY SPRING WHERE WE LIVE) TO BE ABLE TO SAFELY RESTART THE ENGINE. THIS PROBLEM BEGAN TWO YEARS AGO. IT HAPPENED A FEW TIMES IN THE WINTER OVER A COUPLE WEEK SPAN AND THEN WENT AWAY. THE NEXT FALL (8-9) MONTHS LATER IT BEGAN DOING IT AGAIN. THE OCCURRENCES THIS TIME WERE MORE FREQUENT. WE WERE TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE OUR FAILURES DUE TO THE INTERMITTENT NATURE OF THE PROBLEM. AFTER A SEVERAL WEEKS, THE FAILURES STOPPED. NOW AT THE END OF SUMMER, IT'S BEEN PROBABLY 9-10 MONTHS SINCE THE LAST OCCURRENCE, IT HAS STARTED AGAIN. SEVERAL OCCURRENCES IN THE LAST WEEK. FROM WHAT WE CAN REMEMBER, THE FAILURES OCCUR WITH THE FIRST SEVERAL MINUTES OF THE TRIP (SOMETIMES MORE THAN ONE WITHIN A FEW MINUTES) AND USUALLY AT LOWER SPEEDS. WE CAN'T REMEMBER AN EVENT ABOVE 40 MPH.

VAN WAS RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY CLAIMED TO REPAIR /INSTALL NEW GAS PUMP, EGR VALVE, GASKETS, CRANK SENSORS ETC. I RECEIVED MY VAN BACK ON 4/2 CLAIMING EVERYTHING WAS REPAIRED. THE VAN WAS NO LONGER STALLING. ON 4/3 WHILE DRIVING ON THE PARKWAY, IN HEAVY TRAFFIC MY BRAKES, STEERING WHEEL LOCKED AND VAN SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. JUST MISSED GOING OVER THE GUARD RAIL. AGAIN TOOK TH VAN BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP, CONTACTED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE WHICH MADE THE DEALERSHIP OWNER VERY IRATE. MY VAN WAS IN THE DEALERSHIP FROM 2/15 TO JUNE. I GOT THE RUN AROUND ABOUT WE ARE DOING EVERYTHING TO REPAIR YOUR VEHICLE. GUESS WHAT, IT IS STILL NOT REPAIRED THE VAN CONTINUOUSLY STALL ANYTIME YOU MADE A HARD TURN. IT WAS AT THE POINT OF NO RETURN. THE LONGER THE DEALERSHIP HAD IT THE WORSE THE VAN GOT. MEANWHILE ALL OF THIS EXTRA STRESS IS STARTING TO AFFECT MY HEALTH. I PAID FOR A $42,000 VAN AND EVEN CHRYSLER HAS NO IDEA OF HOW TO FIX IT. I GOT FED UP IN JUNE AND ASKED TO HAVE THE VAN RETURNED BACK TO ME. AFTER MORE THAN 3 MONTHS THEY WERE EVER SO HAPPY TO RETURN THE VEHICLE BACK TO ME. AS OF NOW I STILL DON'T HAVE ALL THE RECEIPTS OF EXACTLY WHAT WAS DONE TO THE VAN. ALL I KNOW IS THAT I WOULD NEVER BUY ANOTHER CHRYSLER AGAIN BECAUSE OF THE TREATMENT RECEIVED AND THEIR UNCARING ATTITUDE ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE. AT THIS POINT I FOUND OUT THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS STALLING ISSUE. I FEEL CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF IT AND DON'T KNOW HOW TO GO ABOUT CORRECTING IT. THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE DEALERSHIP AT THE TIME ON 2/15 FOR A RECALL FOR THE IGNITION NODE(R03). I DON'T KNOW IF THE RECALL INITIATED ALL THE ACTION OR INCOMPETENCE. I HAVE TOWING RECEIPTS IN EXCESS OF 100 MILES.

THE ONLY OPTION IS TO DRIFT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, AND RESTART THE CAR. THIS OCCURS MULTIPLE TIMES THROUGHOUT THE DAY, THOUGH THERE IS NO OFFICIAL DIAGNOSIS FROM CHRYSLER AS TO THE PROBLEM. IT HAS EXPERIENCED THE ISSUE FOR ABOUT 3 MONTHS AND HAS GOTTEN PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. A SEPARATE RECALL IS IN EFFECT FOR 2010 TOWN & COUNTRY CARS MANUFACTURED DURING THE FIRST PART OF THE YEAR FOR THIS PROBLEM; HOWEVER VEHICLES MANUFACTURED FROM JULY-DECEMBER OF THE SAME YEAR HAVE NO RECALL, DESPITE EXHIBITING THE SAME ISSUE. CHRYSLER HAS BEEN UNHELPFUL IN COORDINATING RESTITUTION FOR THE FAULTY SYSTEM, WHICH INDUCES DANGEROUS OPERATING CONDITIONS FOR DRIVERS, ESPECIALLY ON THE HIGHWAY. THOUGH MY FAMILY AND I HAVE NOT YET WRECKED, THIS ISSUE HAS CAUSED MULTIPLE WRECKS FOR OTHERS, AND ACCORDINGLY, NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS.

THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL COMES ON FOR NO REASON. WHEN DRIVING NORMALLY UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS. IT COMES ON AND STAYS ON. THE CAR THEN LOSSES POWER STEERING, NO POWER AT ACCELERATOR, AND BRAKES ARE ENGAGED. A BASIC LOSS OF CONTROL OF VEHICLE. YOU HAVE TO TRY TO PULL OVER SHUT OFF VEHICLE AND THEN RESTART. THIS RESETS AND YOU CAN DRIVE NORMALLY. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY UNSAFE AND SCARY WHEN IT HAPPENS. HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES. HAVE TAKEN CAR TO TWO DIFFERENT CHRYSLER DEALERS WHICH FIND NOTHING WRONG BECAUSE NO TROUBLE CODE FOR THEM TO READ.. THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES NOW. MY WIFE IS AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR.

Mileage: 89,000

THE FRONT BRAKES WERE DESIGNED TO APPLY THEMSELVES WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL. THE BRAKE ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE WAY THAT THE STERING WHEEL IS TURNED IS AUTOMATICALLY APPLIED WHEN IT IS BEING DRIVEN. THIS WEARS OUR THE BRAKES AND CAUSES A LOT OF EXPENSE KEEPING BRAKES REPAIRED. ONCE WE WERE COMING HOME ON THE INTERSTATE AND THE BRAKES GOT SO HOT THAT IT MELTED THE WHEEL CYLINDER AND DUMPED ALL THE BRAKE FLUID OUT AND WE HAD NO BRAKES. WE WERE LUCKY THAT THIS HAPPENED AS SOON AS WE TURNED INTO OUR YARD. IF IT HAD HAPPENED A FEW MINUTES EARLIER,WHILE WE WERE ON THE INTERSTATE,IT COULD HAVE BEEN A DISASTER. I HAVE SPENT A LOT OF MONEY ON THIS PROBLEM, BUT THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE TO FIX IT.

Mileage: 100,000

I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 50 MPH ON A STRAIGHTAWAY (CITY STREET) WHEN I NOTICED THE SPEED REDUCING. THEN, I NOTICED CRUISE CONTROL HAD TURNED OFF AND THE ESP LIGHT TURNED ON. POWER STEERING THEN WAS GONE AND POWER BRAKES. I STEERED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED THE CAR. ALL WAS FINE AFTER RESTARTING. AT THE TIME OF THE CAR SHUTTING DOWN, ALL LIGHTS AND THE RADIO WERE WORKING FINE. NOTE: THE PREVIOUS RECALL OF 14V373000 DOES NOT APPLY TO THIS VAN AS IT WAS MANUFACTURED IN AUGUST OF 2010. MY THEORY IS THAT THE IGNITION SWITCH FAILURE THAT WAS CITED IN THE ABOVE STATED RECALL APPLIES TO NOT JUST VEHICLES MANUFACTURED BEFORE JUNE 2010 BUT APPLIES TO THIS VEHICLE, AS WELL. THIS WAS THE THIRD INCIDENCE.

Mileage: 77,000

REAR PASSENGER SIDE CALIPER STICKING, CAUSING A SMALL FIRE. HAD TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE REAR CALIPER AND BLEED THE SYSTEM. THIS IS A DEATH HAZARD THE DEALER AND CHRYSLER CORPERATION WERE NOTIFIED. I SPOKE TO STEVE STANDERS FROM CHRYSLER AT 586-274-8086. THIS IS FROM AN ON GOING ISSUE THEY CHRYSLER WAS WARNED ABOUT BEFORE IT HAPPENED THEY FAILED TO PROCEED TO TAKE PROPER ACTION AND PUT MY FAMILY AT RISK OF DEATH.

Mileage: 40,000

THE VEHICLE (2010 TOWN & COUNTRY) SUDDENLY SHUTS DOWN WHEN RUNNING BUT USUALLY TURNS ON AFTER SIMPLY PUSHING IN (NOT TURNING) THE IGNITION KEY. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY NOT COVERED UNDER CHRYSLER'S RECALL R03 (WIN MODULE), SINCE IT WAS MANUFACTURED AFTER THE CUTOFF DATE (JUNE 18. 2010). VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO USE, SINCE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOSSES AIRBAGS, BRAKES, STEERING AND POWER. VEHICLE IS NOW SUDDENLY SHUTTING OFF A LOT MORE OFTEN.

Mileage: 120,000

THE VAN RAN OUT OF OIL. IT WAS COMPLETELY DRY. NO WARNING SIGNS CAME ON. NO LEAKS. NO SMOKE FOR THE EXHAUST. ONE DAY IT BEGAN TO KNOCK REAL BAD AND STILL NO OIL LIGHT WAS ON. NOW THE VAN NEEDS A NEW ENGINE. THIS SHOULDN'T OF HAPPENED TO A 2010 MODEL WITH ONLY 65K MILES ON IT.

Mileage: 65,000

WAS DRIVING OUR 2010 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY STRAIGHT DOWN THE ROAD IN OUR HOUSING PLAN WHEN THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. ALL OF THE ELECTRONICS IN THE CAR STILL OPERATED BUT, THERE WAS NO POWER STEERING OR BRAKES. HAD TO COAST THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO STOP. THE VEHICLE ENDED UP STOPPING ON A HILL BUT, WITHOUT THE BRAKES IT STARTED TO DRIFT BACKWARDS. AT THIS POINT THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS PUSHED TO GET THE VEHICLE TO STOP. THIS HAPPENED THE VERY NEXT DAY AS WELL. LUCKILY WE WERE NOT DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AS MY 3 CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE. THIS COULD BE DEADLY IF DRIVING AT 60 MPH DOWN THE HIGHWAY.

Mileage: 60,000

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE THE ENGINE TURNS OFF AND THERE IS A LOSS OF BRAKES, STEERING AND ENGINE.

Mileage: 58,000

LOST VEHICLE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WHEN I WENT OVER A BUMP IN THE ROAD, ON HIGHWAY US-1 IN SAINT AUGUSTINE, FLORIDA. I PULLED OVER AND STOPPED THE VEHICLE. THEN RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND DROVE OFF. BUT THIS HAPPENED TWICE. SECOND TIME, I HAD TO WIGGLE THE KEY IN THE IGNITION, TO GET THE IGNITION TO START THE VEHICLE AGAIN.

Mileage: 142,122

WHILE DRIVING DOWN A SMOOTH ROAD, AND WITHOUT WARNING, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SHUT COMPLETELY OFF. THE POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES WERE DISABLED AS WAS THE ENGINE. THIS RESULTED IN ME HAVING TO MAKE EVASIVE MANEUVERS WITH LITTLE TO NO MANEUVERABILITY AND NO ABILITY TO CONTROL THE SPEED OF THE VEHICLE. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING FROM OTHER RECALL NOTICES THAT AIR BAGS ARE ALSO DISABLED WHEN THIS EVENT OCCURS. THIS FAILURE RESULTS IN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND IN MY OPINION, THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE BECAUSE OF THIS PRODUCT DEFECT. THE INCIDENT HAS OCCURRED AT LEAST 6 MORE TIMES SINCE THE FIRST OCCURRENCE. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER BECAUSE THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE MAKE AND MODEL OF MY VEHICLE, BUT I WAS INFORMED THAT MY VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED ON OCTOBER 13, 2010, WHICH IS OUTSIDE THE WINDOW FOR THAT PARTICULAR RECALL. AGAIN, I REPEAT THAT THIS IS AN UNSAFE VEHICLE AND SOMEONE WILL GET SERIOUSLY INJURED AS A RESULT OF THIS DEFECT IF IT IS NOT REMEDIED ASAP. AGAIN, THE VEHICLE RANDOMLY AND WITHOUT WARNING WILL TURN ITSELF OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. ALL SYSTEMS POWER OFF AND IT IS A VERY DISTRESSING EVENT. PLEASE EXPAND THE RECALL TO INCLUDE THE ADDITIONAL MANUFACTURE DATES WHICH INCLUDE MY VEHICLE. I DO NOT WANT MY VEHICLE OR ANY OTHERS OUT THERE LIKE MINE TO BE INVOLVED IN A FATAL ACCIDENT THAT COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED.

Mileage: 74,000

WE HAVE HAD RECALL DONE! IT DID NOT WORK. THIS VEHICLE IS DYING FOR NO REASON/NO WARNING WHILE DRIVING!!!! WE HAVE ALWAYS HAD ISSUES STARTING VEHICLE FOR LAST TWO YEARS. PUT KEY IN AND NOTHING. SWITCH TO NEUTRAL AND SUDDENLY IT STARTS. WELL, NOW, THE NEWEST THING THAT IS HAPPENING MORE AND MORE FREQUENTLY, IS IT JUST STOPS. LAST NIGHT, THE STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON BUT NOTHING ELSE AND YOU HAVE NO CONTROL OVER STEERING OR BRAKING. LIGHTS ARE STILL ON VEHICLE BUT UNTIL YOU SWITCH TO NEUTRAL AND RESTART WITH KEY YOU ARE GLIDING. IT IS NOT SAFE AND WE ARE TAKING THIS VEHICLE TO A DEALER THAT SAYS THEY ARE BACKLOGGED AND DON'T KNOW WHEN THEY WILL GET TO IT. VERY SCARY SITUATION!!!!

Mileage: 95,000

FRONT AND REAR DISC BRAKES SEEM TO BE UNDERSIZED FOR THE WEIGHT OF THE VEHICLE. HAVE REPLACED BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS MULTIPLE TIMES AND CAN'T GET MORE THAN APPROXIMATELY 10,000 MILES OUT OF THEM. EVEN NEW, ON RELATIVELY SHORT ROAD TRIPS, THE BRAKES GET EXTREMELY HOT AND START TO FADE AND CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO SHUDDER WHEN BRAKING. THE BRAKES GET SO HOT, THEY'VE DESTROYED THE CHROME CLADDING ON THE ALLOY WHEELS. CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND THEIR ONLY RECOMMENDATION WAS TO INSTALL "HIGH PERFORMANCE" BRAKE PADS. I HAVE TRIED DIFFERENT PADS TO NO AVAIL. I CURRENTLY HAVE VENTED, DRILLED AND SLOTTED ROTORS WHICH SEEMS TO HELP BUT STILL DOESN'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM. THE 2010 VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH 12" ROTORS WHILE THE NEWER VEHICLES OF THE SAME SIZE AND WEIGHT ARE EQUIPPED WITH 13" ROTORS. WHEN ASKED, CHRYSLER SAID THEY DID NOT HAVE A BRAKE RETROFIT FOR THE OLDER VANS TO INSTALL LARGER BRAKES.

IN JUNE 2013 MY ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. I LOST POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES. I WAS TRAVELING <10 MPH. I HAD ANOTHER INCIDENT LATER THAT SAME YEAR IN OCTOBER. THE INCIDENTS WERE SO RANDOM AND I THOUGHT PERHAPS I DIDN'T TURN THE KEY FOB ALL THE WAY AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE VIA THE REMOTE START SYSTEM. AGAIN IN 2014 IT OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES, SO I STARTED TRYING TO DETERMINE THE COMMON DENOMINATOR, BUT COULD FIND NONE. THE SERVICE STATION I BROUGHT IT TO COULDN'T DIAGNOSE OR REPAIR DUE TO THE INABILITY TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. IN 2015, THE PROBLEM BECAME MORE FREQUENT AND TODAY I AM NOW EXPERIENCING THIS 2-3 TIMES PER DAY 3-4 TIMES PER WEEK AT SPEEDS TRAVELING UP TO 40 MPH. I BROUGHT IT TO MY LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND AFTER HAVING MY VEHICLE FOR 5 DAYS THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE OR REPAIR DUE TO THE INABILITY TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THIS HAS TRULY BECOME A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AS I ALWAYS LOSE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. TYPICALLY, I PUT MY HAZARDS ON, PLACE THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL, RESTART IT, RETURN TO DRIVE, AND TURN HAZARDS OFF. HOWEVER, I CAME VERY CLOSE TO BEING INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT WHEN THIS OCCURRED WHILE I WAS MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN THROUGH AN INTERSECTION. I AM AT A LOSS AS WHAT TO DO.

Mileage: 45,000

VEHICLE STALLS WITH LOSS OF ENGINE POWER, LOSS OF POWER BRAKES, AND LOSS OF POWER STEERING. STALLING EVENT NORMALLY OCCURS WITHIN FIRST FEW MINUTES OF DRIVING AND SEEMS TO OCCUR IN TEMPERATURES BELOW 40. RADIO STAYS POWERED DURING OCCURRENCE AND THIS CAN MAKE NOTICE OF THE STALL EVENT DIFFICULT UNTIL YOU NEED TO TURN, BRAKE OR ACCELERATE AND FIND YOU DO NOT HAVE ENGINE POWER. STALLING EVENTS HAVE OCCURRED WHILE PULLING INTO TRAFFIC ON MAJOR STREETS WITHIN FIRST FEW MINUTES OF DRIVING AND OFTEN WHILE DRIVING IN PARKING LOTS AND SUBDIVISION SPEEDS. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO A CHRYSLER DEALER SEVERAL TIMES AND CHRYSLER CANNOT REPLICATE THE ISSUE. CHRYSLER DOES NOT FIND ANY TROUBLE CODES STORED TO INDICATE AN ISSUE. THE CHRYSLER DEALER INDICATES THIS MINIVAN IS NOT SUBJECT TO EXISTING CHRYSLER RECALLS THAT INDICATE A LOOSE KEY RELATED STALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE PADS WORE PREMATURELY AND CAUSED THE ROTORS TO OVERHEAT AND WEAR PREMATURELY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC SEVERAL TIMES WHERE THE ROTORS WERE ALSO REPLACED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED AND THE BRAKE PADS CONTINUED TO WEAR PREMATURELY EVERY 5,000 MILES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,000.

Mileage: 71,000

AS I WAS RUNNING ERRANDS ALL OF A SUDDEN THE STEERING WHEEL FROZE AND MY BRAKE PEDAL AND ACCELERATOR QUIT FUNCTIONING, I NOTICED MY STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT WAS ON AND WITHIN ABOUT 10 SECONDS THE VEHICLE JUST STOPPED RUNNING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET, THANKFULLY I HAD AVOIDED THE HIGHWAY THAT DAY, IT'S USUALLY FASTER BUT WITH IT BEING A PRETTY DAY I WASN'T IN A HURRY. IT WAS 80 DEGREES AND SUNNY, THIS HAPPENED ON A PAVED ROAD NO STANDING WATER, NO HAZARDS. THIS ISN'T THE FIRST TIME IT HAS HAPPENED, LEAVING MY HOME IT'S SHUT OFF. BUT SINCE THE IGNITION SWITCH RECALL AND THE REPLACEMENT BEING INSTALLED I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS, MY $250 KEY HAD JAMMED AND IT TAKES MULTIPLE TIMES OF STARTING AND RE-STARTING THE VAN TO GET IT OUT. YESTERDAY WAS MY BREAKING POINT, HAD I BEEN ON THE INTERSTATE WHICH IS HOW I USUALLY MOVE ABOUT THE CITY IT COULD HAVE BEEN DEVASTATING. FORTUNATELY I HAVE A EXTENDED WARRANTY PLAN AND THE DEALER WILL FIX THE ISSUE FOR $100, BUT IT DOESN'T FIX THE FACT THAT I HAVE A BROKEN KEY AND IGNITION SWITCH THAT SOMETHING IS OBVIOUSLY WRONG WITH IT. I'VE OWNED 4 CHRYSLER MINI VANS AND THIS IS THE FIRST ONE THAT HAS SCARED ME. *TR

Mileage: 92,000

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, AND THEN HEAVY TRAFFIC AHEAD IF I DEPRESS MY BRAKE PEDAL THE ENTIRE CAR SHAKES LIKE REAL VIOLENTLY. I CALL THE DEALER THEY SAID WE ARE AWARE OF A PROBLEM, CALL FOR AN APPOINTMENT, WHEN THEY LOOKED AT IS ABOUT 2 MONTHS LATER THEY SAID IT IS UNDER WARRANTY THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE WARPED ROTORS, AND BRAKE PADS. EVERYTHING WAS FINE TILL ABOUT 3 WEEKS LATTER IT WAS DOING IT AGAIN I WAS TOLD AGAIN THE ROTORS ARE WARPED AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY A $100 DEDUCTIBLE, I TOLD THEM IT IS BRAN NEW I REFUSE TO PAY THIS. I LEFT THE DEALER. AFTER A WEEK LATER I BRING IT IN AGAIN THE FRONT ROTORS AND PADS ALONG WITH THE SAME IN THE REAR, THEY SAID THEY CHANGED THE FRONT ROTORS AND PADS OUT OF GOOD FAITH, I TOLD THEM THANKS FOR FIXING THE LEMON. THEY SAID THE VEHICLE WILL NOT PASS INSPECTION WITH THE REAR LIKE THAT, I TOLD THEM THEY SHOULD USE BETTER PARTS, AND I WILL START USING ANOTHER DEALER, SO I DID. SINCE THEN CHRYSLER HAS ISSUED 2 RECALLS, ONE FOR THE FRONT ROTORS ONLY, AND A $100 DEDUCTIBLE, AND ANOTHER RECALL HAVING TO DO WITH THE FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS. I WAS ABLE TO FIX THE REAR AND FRONT BRAKE PADS, AND ROTORS MY SELF USING A BRAND CALLED RAYBESTOS THEY ARE AWARE OF THE CHRYSLER DEFECT AND MAKE A PROBLEM FREE ROTOR FOR THE FIX, I HAVE HAD IT INSTALLED SO FAR FOR 2 YEARS PROBLEM FREE. RAYBESTOS ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY ROTORS AND PADS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. WHILE DRIVING AT 60 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND THE STEERING WHEEL JERKED. HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN MULTIPLE TIMES TO A DEALER AND AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHO STATED THAT THE FRONT BRAKES AND ROTORS NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 24,600.

ACCORDING TO MY LOCAL SERVICE MANAGER, MY VAN DOES NOT COME UNDER RECALL L25 BECAUSE IT WAS BUILT IN AUG.2010 AND HAS THE NEW AND IMPROVED IGNITION SWITCH. I DON'T AGREE! THERE HAVE BEEN 5 OR MORE INCIDENTS WITH 3 DURING THE VAN MOVING AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS. I HAVE HAD THE CAR IN FOR THIS REPAIR 3 TIMES AT THE MADISON, CT DEALERSHIP. WE WERE TOLD DIFFERENT OPINIONS AS TO WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. I CLEARLY STATED THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THE 3 MOVING STALLS WERE ALL WITH MY WIFE DRIVING AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS, ONE WITH MY DAUGHTER. WE WERE VERY LUCKY THAT NO ONE HIT THE CAR WHEN THERE WERE THESE SUDDEN STALLS.. I POINTED OUT TO THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT MY OPINION IS THAT THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS MUCH TO LOOSE BUT HE SAID THAT IS THE WAY THEY ARE. I DON'T AGREE AGAIN! WE HAVE HAD PLYMOUTH AND CHRYSLER VANS SINCE 1985 AND HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM. *TR

Mileage: 21,500

FOR THE THIRD TIME IN THREE MONTHS, AND WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE LOST ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE POWER, POWER BRAKES AND POWER STEERING, PLUS LOSS OF ALL PANEL & ENGINE LIGHTS, AND LOSS OF RADIO. THE LATEST INCIDENT HAPPENED IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA AT 30-MPH ON 2 MARCH 2015, ODOMETER APPROX 126280. THE PREVIOUS TWO EVENTS LIKE THIS OCCURRED WHEN VEHICLE WAS ON HIGHWAY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND WHILE ACCELERATING, DURING NOVEMBER 2014 AND JANUARY 2015. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE IGNITION SWITCH DURING THIS LATEST EVENT REMAINED IN THE ON POSITION. I AM NOT SURE WHETHER IN THE PREVIOUS TWO INCIDENTS WHETHER THE IGNITION SWITCH HAD (OR HAD NOT) SLIPPED OUT OF THE ON POSITION. DURING THIS LATEST EVENT ON 2 MARCH 2015, TO RESTART ENGINE WHILE STILL COASTING DOWN THE ROAD, I HAD TO CAREFULLY PUT TRANS IN NEUTRAL POSITION, THEN TURN IGNITION SWITCH TO OFF, AND THEN TURN THE IGNITION SWITCH TO START, TO RESTART ENGINE. THE ENGINE THUS RESTARTED NORMALLY IN ALL THREE OF THESE INCIDENTS. *TR

VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT IT TO ORIGINAL DEALERSHIP FOR A "WINTER MAINTENANCE" SPECIAL. DEALERSHIP CALLED CLAIMING THAT BOTH REAR BRAKES AND ROTORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO EXCESSIVE WEAR YET THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 25K MILES ON IT. THIS IS EXTREMELY PREMATURE WEAR FOR A VEHICLE IN MY OPINION. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW A VEHICLE CAN DESTROY BOTH ITS BRAKE PAD AND ROTOR UNLESS THERE IS A DESIGN DEFECT OR KNOWN SUB-PAR PARTS. *TR

VEHICLE SHUTS OFF WITHOUT WARNING DURING OPERATION. AFTER DRIVING FOR ABOUT 3.5 MILES VEHICLE SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF A LEFT HAND TURN THROUGH AN INTERSECTION. RADIO REMAINS ON, BUT ENGINE, POWER STEERING, POWER BRAKES STOP WORKING, TRACTION CONTROL DASH LIGHT ILLUMINATES. ELECTRONIC KEY APPEARS TO STILL BE IN THE RUN POSITION, AND THE VEHICLE CAN BE RESTARTED BY SHIFTING TO NEUTRAL AND TURNING KEY TO OFF POSITION AND BACK TO START. HAS HAPPEN MULTIPLE TIMES, TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO IDENTIFY A PROBLEM. CHRYSLER ALSO REFUSED TO MENTION OR ACKNOWLEDGE EXISTING RECALL FOR WHAT APPEARS TO BE THIS EXACT PROBLEM BECAUSE THIS VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED A FEW DAYS OUTSIDE THE EFFECTIVE DATES OF THE RECALL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, IT TRAVELED ABNORMALLY TO THE FLOORBOARD.

I WAS TOLD TODAY THAT IT WILL BE $648 TO REPLACE THE FRONT PADS AND ALL THE PARTS (ROTOR, CALIPER, PADS) ON BOTH REAR WHEELS. THE AUTOMOTIVE CENTER TOLD ME THIS DEGREE OF WEAR IS EXCESSIVE FOR A VEHICLE WITH ONLY 57000 MILES ON IT. THE VAN WAS BOUGHT USED AT 31000 AND I HAVE NO INFO ON WHETHER THERE WERE BRAKE PROBLEMS PRIOR TO THAT.

WELL WHEN YOU TRY TO BRAKE, THE PEDAL GOES DOWN TO THE FLOOR AND THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES AND YOU DO NOT STOP. WHEN YOU DO STOP THE TIRES LOCK UP AND SKID. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. I EVEN TRIED REPLACING THE BRAKE PADS AND THAT DIDNT HELP.

PAVEMENT WAS WET AND WENT TO STOP QUICKLY. ABS WAS ENABLED FOR A FEW SECONDS THEN THE SYSTEM SHORTED, LEAVING ONLY STANDARD BRAKES. THE ABS LIGHT, TRACTION CONTROL AND ENGINE LIGHTS CAME ONE. THE ABS SYSTEM WOULD NO LONGER FUNCTION. TRACTION CONTROL WOULD NOT FUNCTION. THIS WAS VERY EVIDENT ON ICE. SPEEDOMETER WOULD NOT READ OUT. THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD BE AT ZERO THEN WHEN DRIVEN THE VEHICLE WOULD DING ABOUT EVERY 5 MINUTES AND SPEEDOMETER WOULD GO UP AND DOWN TO ZERO AGAIN. THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SHIFT CORRECTLY. IT WOULD ALWAYS SEEM TO DRIVE IN A HIGHER GEAR. THE ODOMETER WOULD NO LONGER FUNCTION. THE ELECTRIC VAN DOORS WOULD NOT WORK WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS RUNNING. THEY WOULD WORK WHEN VEHICLE WAS OFF. TOOK VAN TO DEALER FOR REPAIR.

SO WE STARTED DRIVING ON, ONLY TO HAVE THE VAN SHUT OFF A SECOND TIME WHILE GOING UPHILL AGAIN AT 45 MLS PER HOUR. THE SAME THINGS HAPPENED, POWER STEERING,POWER BRAKES AND ENGINE CUTOFF! AGAIN WE WERE BLESSED THAT NO ONE WAS AROUND AS THERE IS NO WHERE TO PULL OVER! WE PUT THE VAN IN PARK,IT STARTED BACK UP AND MADE IT THE ONE MORE MILE HOME WITH NO PROBLEM. WE TOOK THE VAN TO SERVICE CENTER AT THE DEALERSHIP ( WE HAVE BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY) THEY KEPT THE VEHICLE FOR ALMOST 4 WKS, WHILE THEY HAD IT, IT SHUT DOWN ON THEM ONCE BUT COULD NOT GET THE VANS COMPUTER TO "THROW A CODE" TO THEIR COMPUTER. THEY WANTED TO GIVE IT BACK WITHOUT DOING ANYTHING TO IT, WE ASKED THAT THEY AT LEAST ADDRESS THE RECALL ISSUE OF THE WIN MODULE (AS THIS IS DESCRIBED AS EXACTLY WHAT WAS HAPPENING)THEY DID THIS, HOWEVER, THE VAN HAS SHUT DOWN ON US TWO MORE TIMES! THEY KEPT THE VAN FOR A FEW DAYS AND REPLACED THE WIN MODULE AGAIN, ALTHOUGH THEY STILL DON'T KNOW FOR SURE THAT IT IS THE PROBLEM AS MY VAN WILL NOT " THROW A CODE"!

CHRYSLER KNOWS THE BRAKING SYSTEM ON ITS 2010 (AND OTHER MODEL YEARS) IS DEFECTIVE BUT THEY REFUSE TO PROVIDE A SOLUTION TO IT'S CUSTOMERS. THE BRAKE PADS AND CALIPERS ARE NOT LARGE ENOUGH FOR THE VEHICLES SIZE AND WEIGHT WHICH CAUSES THE BRAKES TO OVERHEAT AND WARP THE ROTORS IN A VERY SHORT PERIOD. THIS LEADS TO BRAKE PEDAL PULSATION AND EXCESSIVE DANGEROUS STEERING WHEEL SHAKE WHICH CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. MY PARTICULAR VEHICLE HAS HAD MULTIPLE SETS OF PADS, ROTORS AND CALIPERS REPLACED DURING THE WARRANTY PERIOD AND NOW THAT THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY I FIND MYSELF HAVING TO PAY FOR BRAKE PARTS/SERVICE OUT OF MY OWN POCKET. THIS VEHICLE ONLY HAS 33,000 MILES ON IT AND IT SHOULDN'T HAVE HAD ANY BRAKE WORK YET BUT INSTEAD, IT'S HAD MULTIPLE BRAKE SERVICES. PLEASE MAKE CHRYSLER ISSUE A RECALL FOR THE BRAKES ON THESE VEHICLES AND REQUIRE CHRYSLER TO REDESIGN THE SYSTEM WITH NEW PARTS AS OPPOSED TO THE SAME DEFECTIVE REPLACEMENT PARTS. *TR

I HAVE 2 PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE THAT CHRYSLER REFUSES TO RESPOND TO WITH APPROPRIATE ANSWERS. THE 1ST ONE IS THE FRONT BRAKES. THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE SINCE THE PURCHASE OF THE VEHICLE. 4-2010 THE ROTORS ALWAYS CREATE HOT SPOTS THEN CAUSES THE BRAKES TO FAIL.. THERE IS NEVER ANY WEAR ON THE BRAKE PADS JUST THE ROTORS. THERE WAS A LETTER SENT OUT A COUPLE YEARS AGO THAT THEY WOULD REPAIR THE BRAKES WITH EITHER A $50.00 TO $100.00 DEDUCTIBLE. NOW , THEY WILL NOT HONOR THAT LETTER. OBVIOUSLY, THERE WAS A PROBLEM THEN FOR THE LETTER TO BE SENT OUT, WHY CHANGE IT NOW. I STILL HAVE THE SAME VAN AND THE SAME PROBLEM, ONLY TO GET WORSE. THE SECOND IS THE AIRBAGS. I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT WITH EXCESSIVE FRONT END DAMAGE AS WELL AS TOTALED THE CAR THAT WAS HIT BY ME. THE AIRBAGS NEVER DEPLOYED, FORTUNATELY, I WAS NOT INJURED. CHRYSLER REFUSES TO SPEAK TO ME ABOUT THESE THIS ISSUE. THAT KEEP TELLING ME THAT BECAUSE MY AUTO INSURANCE WAS INVOLVED THEN THEY WOULD HAVE TO DO A SUBROGATION REPORT. THIS IS UNTRUE AS PER MY INSURANCE COMPANY. THIS REPORT ONLY NEEDS TO BE FILLED OUT IF THE DRIVER OR PASSENGER'S WERE INJURED FROM THE ACCIDENT. WELL SINCE THERE WAS NO INJURIES, THEN THERE IS NO NEED FOR A REPORT. THIS INCIDENT IS A CONSUMERS COMPLAINT. CHRYSLER DOESN'T SEE IT THAT WAY. THEY ARE TRYING TO FIND EVERY EXCUSE IN THE BOOK TO NOT COOPERATE WITH MY COMPLAINTS. WHAT IS CHRYSLER WAITING FOR? SOMEONE TO DIE IF MY VAN IS TO BECOME INTO ANOTHER ACCIDENT?

TWICE MY VEHICLE SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY ROAD AT APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH. THERE WERE NO DASH WARNINGS OTHER THAN THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL ICON WAS LIT THE FIRST EPISODE. THE RADIO WAS WORKING, ALL OTHER DASH LIGHTING APPEARED NORMAL FOR A CAR IN OPERATION. I HAD BEEN DRIVING ABOUT 20 MINUTES, SO THE CAR WAS NOT "COLD". THE FIRST TIME, I DID NOT EVEN REALIZE THE CAR HAD STALLED UNTIL I NOTICED IT WAS LOSING SPEED AND THEN FOUND THE CAR WAS NOT RESPONDING TO THE GAS PEDAL. I COASTED INTO THE RIGHT LANE AND TURNED ONTO A SIDE STREET (THAT'S WHEN I REALIZED I HAD NO POWER STEERING, NO BRAKES, AND THE CAR WAS TRULY STALLED). I CONTINUED COASTING TO A STOP. I THEN PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND ATTEMPTED TO RESTART IT. IT RESTARTED IMMEDIATELY, RUNNING SMOOTHLY, SO I CONTINUED ON MY WAY HOME WONDERING WHAT COULD HAVE CAUSED IT TO DIE LIKE THAT? LESS THAN A MILE LATER, IT STALLED AGAIN! THIS TIME I PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND WHILE CRUISING/COASTING TURNED THE IGNITION KEY TO START TO TRY AND RE-START THE CAR. I THEN PUT THE TRANSMISSION BACK INTO DRIVE TO SEE IF IT HAD RESTARTED, AND SURE ENOUGH I WAS ON MY WAY AGAIN. NO OTHER INDICATORS OF AN ISSUE ON THE DASH. IT HAS NOT HAPPENED SINCE. I WENT OUT ON AN ERRAND LATER THAT EVENING AND THE EPISODE DID NOT REPEAT. I AM QUITE NERVOUS TO TAKE IT ON THE INTERSTATE. MY GOSH! WHAT IF I HAD BEEN ON THE INTERSTATE (75 MPH SPEED LIMIT) TURNING A CURVE, NO POWER STEERING, SLOWING TO A COAST AND PANICKED AS TO WHAT WAS WRONG? I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WITH A MECHANIC DAY AFTER TOMORROW, BUT UNLESS A CODE WAS THROWN INDICATING AN ERROR, IT SEEMS TO BE A SOMEWHAT ISOLATED EVENT, OR AT LEAST INTERMITTENT EVENT. DEFINITELY SEEMS TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

NOTICED AN UNUSUAL SOUND COMING FROM LR. EXITED VEHICLE AND IMMEDIATELY SMELLED BURNING BRAKE PADS. LR WHEEL TOO HOT TO TOUCH. DROVE VEHICLE REMAINING 1/2 MILE HOME. AFTER ONLY FIVE MINUTES OF INTERNET RESEARCH I HAD LITERALLY THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS SAME ISSUE,MOSTLY 2008 TO 2012 MODELS. MY VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 38000 MILES ON IT AND MORE THAN 50% OF THOSE ARE HIGHWAY MILES. SEEMS LIKE THE SHEER VOLUME OF COMPLAINTS WOULD WARRANT A RECALL OR AT THE VERY LEAST A NHTSA INVESTIGATION. I WILL CERTAINLY TELL EVERYONE I KNOW TO STAY AWAY FROM CHRYSLER PRODUCTS ALTOGETHER. *TR

SHORTLY AFTER A BRAND NEW 2010 TOWN & COUNTRY I STARTED TO GET SHAKING IN THE STEERING. THE SHAKING WOULD START WHEN I TRIED TO APPLY THE BRAKES. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS NORMAL FOR MINIVANS AND THAT I MUST BE DRIVING ON HILLS. THEY SAID THE BRAKES WOULD NEED TO BE RESURFACED. THEY DIDN'T OFFER TO DO THAT AT THAT TIME AND SAID IT WAS MY PROBLEM. AFTER A FEW MORE MONTHS AND THE PROBLEM CONTINUALLY GETTING WORSE, I COULDN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE AND WAS READY TO PAY FOR NEW BRAKES. THE DEALERSHIP PROVIDED SOME SORT OF WARRANTY AND I HAD TO PAY A DEDUCTIBLE. THAT SOLVED THE PROBLEM FOR A TIME. AFTER ABOUT A YEAR, I STARTED GETTING SOME SHAKING ON MY TIRES. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THE BRAKES WERE WEARING DOWN AND THAT THEY WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED SOON. I WAS SURPRISED BECAUSE THE CAR WAS LESS THAN 2 YEARS OLD AND ONLY HAD ABOUT 20K IN MILEAGE. I DIDN'T GET ANY REPAIR AT THAT TIME. NOW IT'S BEEN ABOUT ANOTHER 6 MONTHS AND MY BRAKES ARE COMPLETELY SHOT. THE ROTORS HAVE BEEN WORN DOWN AND NEED TO BE REPLACED ALONG WITH THE PADS. THIS WILL BE THE SECOND SET IN JUST OVER 2 YEARS AND THE CAR HAS AROUND 40K IN MILES. I'M GOING TO PAY FOR THIS REPAIR AND FILE A CLAIM WITH CHRYSLER. THIS DOESN'T SEEM NORMAL AND IT LOOKS LIKE THEY HAVE SOME ISSUES WITH THEIR BRAKES. *TR

LEFT REAR BRAKE HOWLING. IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE TO NOW WHERE THE LD BAKE CALIPER AND ROTOR MUST BE REPLACED. THE RIGHT REAR IS LIKELY NOT WORKING AS THE ROTOR IS RUSTY. THE FRONT BRAKE PADS ARE 1/2 OR MORE WORN OUT. THE CAR HAS ONLY 9400 MILES ON IT. CHRYSLER SAYS THE 36 MONTH WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED AND I AM NOW TOTALLY RESPONSIBLE.

WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE SEPTEMBER 2010. WITHIN FIRST YEAR SEPTEMBER 2011 THE ROTORS NEEDED BE REPLACED DUE TO WARPING. IN 2012 WITHIN A YEAR OF REPLACEMENT, ONE SET WAS REPLACE AND THE OTHER WAS MACHINED DUE TO WARPING. JUNE 2013, HAD TO HAVE BOTH SETS OF ROTORS REPLACED AGAIN DUE TO WARPING. THE ROTORS HAVE WORN OUT BEFORE THE BRAKE PADS. THE REASON WE WERE GIVEN WAS DUE TO EXCESSIVE HEAT. I LIVE IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA WHERE THE TEMPERATURE IS NOT EXCESSIVE. THERE IS NO EXPLANATION FOR THE WARPING OR WHAT IS CAUSING THE EXCESSIVE HEAT. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE THE BRAKING SYSTEM BECOME COMPROMISED WHEN THE ROTORS GET HOT, THE CAR STARTS TO SHAKE EVERY TIME YOU APPLY THE BRAKES. CHRYSLERS IS NOT ADDRESSING THIS ISSUE. ONLINE, THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OF THIS EXACT SAME ISSUE. HOW CAN THE ROTORS CONTINUE TO GO BAD WHEN THE BRAKE PADS ARE STILL IN GOOD CONDITION AND ALL WITHIN 10K MILES. *TR

MANY TIMES, THE BRAKES AND ROTORS ARE HAVING TO BE REPLACED EVERY 10-20 THOUSAND MILES. SHAME ON CHRYSLER FOR STICKING FAMILIES WITH POOR AND UNSAFE BRAKES THAT MUST BE REPLACED SO OFTEN. *TR

THE VEHICLE HAD A COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER. THIS HAS HAD ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. I CANNOT STEER OR BRAKE OR DO ANYTHING. I CANNOT START IT FROM NEUTRAL. I HAVE TO PUT IT IN PARK TURN IT OFF AND RESTART IT. IT HAS HAPPENED WHILE GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND PULLING OUT INTO INTERSECTIONS. I'M REALLY AFRAID IT'S GOING TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.

THE PARKING BRAKE PULL OFF SPRING ON THE RIGHT REAR WHEEL SNAPPED IN HALF. THIS CAUSED THE PARKING BRAKE TO REMAIN ENGAGED EVEN AFTER IT WAS DISENGAGED BY THE DRIVER FROM THE DRIVER'S SEAT. THE RIGHT REAR BRAKE ASSEMBLY (CALIPER, ROTOR, DISC PADS) OVERHEATED. DRIVER NOTICED LOUD CLICKING NOISE COMING FROM RIGHT REAR WHEEL AFTER COMPLETING SHORT TRIP. THE NOISE APPARENTLY WAS FROM THE EXPANSION/CONTRACTION OF THE VERY HOT METAL DUST COVER AROUND THE BRAKE ASSEMBLY. SPOUSE FOUND BROKEN SPRING HANGING FROM RIGHT REAR PARKING BRAKE ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLED TEMPORARY SPRING UNTIL NEW PART CAME IN THE NEXT DAY. MOPAR PART# 68039257AA (SPRING-PARKING BRAKE).

THE VEHICLE APPEARS TO BE STALLING WHILE IN MOTION. THE STEERING WHEEL, BRAKES, AND GAS PEDAL ALL LOCK UP LEAVING THE DRIVER UNABLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE IN ANY WAY. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON AT LEAST 10 OCCASIONS. THE LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP ATTEMPTED TO FIX THE VEHICLE, BUT WAS UNABLE. CORPORATE WAS NOTIFIED AND SENT OUT A CORPORATE MECHANIC WHO WAS ALSO UNABLE TO FIX THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE HAS LOCKED THREE ADDITIONAL TIMES (SINCE THE LAST ATTEMPTED REPAIR) AND BOTH THE DEALERSHIP (WHO IS NOW REFUSING TO SERVICE THE VEHICLE) AND CORPORATE (WHO HAVE NOT RETURNED CALLS OR EMAILS) HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED. AFTER CONDUCTING AN INTERNET SEARCH I SEE THAT THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED ISSUE--IT HAS BEEN REPORTED MULTIPLE TIMES TO THE NHTSA AS WELL AS ON OTHER WEBSITES. THIS IS A DANGEROUS AND DEFECTIVE VEHICLE. CHRYSLER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED OF THIS DEFECT ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS AND IS NOT DOING ENOUGH TO PROTECT THE SAFETY OF ITS CONSUMERS. *TR

MY VAN HAS BEEN SHAKING UPON BRAKING AND RECENTLY HAS BEGUN MAKING A RUBBING NOISE. WHEN TAKEN IN FOR A BRAKE INSPECTION THEY SAID THAT MY REAR BRAKES AND ROTORS ALREADY NEED REPLACED AND THAT IT WAS UNCOMMON FOR NEWER VEHICLES WITH 30,000 MILES ON IT TO NEED REPLACEMENTS AND THAT I SHOULD CHECK TO SEE IF IT HAS BEEN RECALLED. IT HAS NOT BEEN, HOWEVER, I HAVE NOTICED NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS THAT IT'S HAPPENING TO MANY OWNERS. I LOVE MY VAN, AND WOULD LOVE FOR CHRYSLER TO STEP UP AND REPLACE THE FAULTY BRAKE SYSTEM. *JS

A FEW MONTHS AGO A SQUEAKING NOISE BEGAN ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. AT THE END OF MARCH I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEARLERSHIP TO HAVE THE SQUEAK LOOKED AT AS WELL AS HAVE THE FRONT BRAKES AND ROTORS REPLACED (AT THE TIME THE VEHICLES MILEAGE WAS 22,160). SERVICE ADVISOR REPORTED THAT THE SQUEAKING WAS LIKELY THE RESULT OF THE REAR BRAKES AND WAS NOT UNCOMMON. THE SQUEAK HAS CONTINUED. SET UP ANOTHER APPOINTMENT FOR MAY 17TH TO HAVE THE VEHICLE INSPECTED AGAIN. SERVICE ADVISOR ADVISED THAT THE SQUEAKING ISSUE IS INDEED STILL THE REAR BRAKES, THEY ARE NOT BAD AND THE PADS ARE HALF GONE BUT DOES NOT RECOMMEND THAT THEY NEED TO BE REPLACED AT THIS TIME. AS OF JUNE 19TH, THE SQUEAK CONTINUES AND AT TIMES GET'S WORSE. WHAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND IS WHY THE BRAKES SQUEAK WHEN I AM NOT EVEN PRESSING ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. CHRYSLER REPLACED THE FRONT BRAKES, WHY ARE THEY NOT REPLACING THE REAR BRAKES WHICH OBVIOUSLY HAD MORE WEAR AND TEAR DUE TO THE FRONT BRAKE ISSUE THEY DID ADDRESS. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO ADMIT FAULT ON THIS ISSUE AS WELL. *JS

HAVE HAD T&C 2010 VAN FOR 2 YEARS - OUR 11TH CHRYSLER PRODUCT AND OUR 3RD CHRYSLER VAN. HOW MANY COMPLAINTS DOES IT TAKE ON THIS SITE BEFORE CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF A PROBLEM WITH REAR BRAKES & ROTORS? I HAVE REGISTERED A COMPLAINT WITH THEM - LESS THAN 39,000 MILES FOR METAL ON METAL - REPLACEMENT OF PADS & ROTORS - NOT ABLE TO EVEN TURN THE ROTORS THEY WERE THAT BAD. CHRYSLER'S ANSWER? SORRY WE CAN'T REIMBURSE YOU - I WASN'T LOOKING FOR $$ - I WAS LOOKING FOR AN ANSWER AS TO WHY THIS HAPPENED & WHAT IS TO PREVENT IT FROM HAPPENING IN ANOTHER 20K OR 30K? I ASKED FOR SOMEONE HIGHER UP - SHE SAID SHE WAS THE CASE MGR. I ASKED FOR THE CEO'S NAME - SHE COULDN'T GIVE IT OUT - SERIOUSLY? I SAID I'D GET IT ON LINE. WE HAVE A 2005 SEBRING THAT JUST HAD ITS FIRST SET OF FRONT & REAR PADS AND ROTORS AT 105,000 MILES - SAME DRIVING CONDITIONS - COUNTRY ROADS AND AN OCCASIONAL TRIP TO CHICAGO. SO WHY IS THIS HAPPENING TO OUR VAN? THERE IS A PROBLEM BUT CHRYSLER WON'T ADMIT IT IS USING CHEAP PARTS. DOES IT ONLY CONCERN THEM WHEN THERE IS AN INJURY OR DEATH? IS THIS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE IF THE BRAKES FAIL? I DON'T BLAME THE DEALER - THEY ARE THE STOOGES AND DO WHAT CHRYSLER TELLS THEM. AND NOW THEY ARE DISCONTINUING THE TOWN & COUNTRY AND WILL ONLY HAVE THE GRAND CARAVAN - WHY IS THAT? LET'S HOPE THEY PUT BETTER BRAKE SYSTEMS ON THEM FROM HERE ON OUT. IS THERE ANYWAY WE CAN ALL BAND TOGETHER AND GET SOME ANSWERS????? WE DON'T HAVE $400 TO KEEP SHELLING OUT - WHILE WE ARE TRYING TO PAY OFF THIS VAN. BUT I SEE WE ARE LUCKY COMPARED TO OTHER FOLKS WITH PROBLEMS EVEN SOONER. THIS IS A DISGRACE AND CHRYSLER SHOULD OWN UP TO A SERIOUS PROBLEM. *TR
