2010 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY Steering 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.

For the past several years we have tried to get power to examine the conditio. To no avail. Several times a week when we are driving the car will shut off and we lose power steering, the van turns off and we have to switch it into park to continue. Some day it happens several times. It seems like it is an occurance happening in other cars. ( see NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID:
14V373000. & 11V139000 ). I am worried bc it has almost led to several wrecks:.. it effects electrical. The ignition. Power steering and more. Also the air conditioner/ coolest has stopped working. We have to have tried multiple solutions with no avail… please help! And let me know if I can help With anything!

While driving the whole car stopped working, everything just died. Power steering, gas, power brakes, everything. I was able to, thankfully, get to the side of the HIGHWAY, and put the car into park. I gave the car a few minutes, then it started back up again. This is not the first time this has happened, just the first time on a highway. I've taken my van to a dealership before and they can't "reproduce" the problem so they don't fix anything. Meanwhile, my life and the life of my family are in danger because I don't know if my van is going to shut down while I'm driving. There was no warning it was going to happen, the steering just goes out and you have no power.

The contact owns a 2010 Chrysler Town and Country. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V396000 (Air Bags, Steering) however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The dealer was made aware of the issue and confirmed that parts were not yet available. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect. The contact stated that the issue was eventually fixed.

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!

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.

AS I DRIVE DOWN THE STREET AND HIT A BUMP OR UNEVEN SURFACE THE VAN SHUTS OFF AND I LOSE ALL STEERING POWER AND ELECTRICAL POWER. THIS IS VERY FRIGHTENING BECAUSE IT COULD HAPPEN IN THE MIDDLE OF A STREET OR FREEWAY GOING 60+ MILES PER HOUR.

Mileage: 110,000

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.

Mileage: 119,000

I WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT AT 40-45MPH ON A SLIGHTLY HILLY, TWO LANE ROAD WITH NO CURBS. THE WEATHER WAS CLEAR, TRAFFIC WAS MODERATE. WITH NO WARNING, ALL DRIVING POWER WENT OFF AND I COULDN'T STEER OR BRAKE. I COULD STILL PUT THE HAZARD LIGHTS ON. I HAD TO WAIT FOR THE VAN TO COAST TO A STOP. THEN I TURNED THE KEY TO ON AND THE VEHICLE STARTED BACK UP. THANKFULLY, I DIDN'T GET HIT OR DRIVE INTO A DITCH. I HAD A VAN FULL OF KIDS AND WAS SO SCARED.

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...

Mileage: 144,000

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.

I EXPERIENCED THE FOLLOWING ISSUE WHICH IS ADDRESSED IN A RECALL HOWEVER, MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. I REPLACED THE PART, OUT OF POCKET, AND AM ATTEMPTING TO RECOUP THE COST. I TOOK THE VAN TO A DODGE/CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND THE VAN SHOWED NO CODES, ETC TO INDICATE THE ISSUE. I SIMPLY WENT OUT ON A LIMB TO GUESS IF THIS WAS THE PROBLEM. I HAVE RECEIPTS SHOWING PURCHASE FOR THE REPAIR. THIS SHOULD BE COVERED. MY FAMILY WAS IN DANGER EVERY TIME WE DROVE AND CHRYSLER REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT!!!! THE NEW WIN MODULE SOLVED THE ISSUE AND IT HAS NOT STALLED ONCE SINCE THE NEW ONE INSTALLED!

VEHICLE STOPPED RUNNING WHILE DRIVING ON STREET. THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES IN THE LAST YEAR.

Mileage: 118,000

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. ALL RECALLS HAVE BEEN HANDLED BY MY DEALERSHIP. I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 30 MPH AND THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF. I SIMPLY COASTED TO A STOP (NO TRAFFIC THANK GOODNESS) AND PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK, CLICKED THE KEY TO THE OFF POSITION, WAITING 15 SECONDS, STARTED VEHICLE AGAIN AND DROVE AWAY. IT HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES NOW.

Mileage: 170,000

VEHICLE HAS BEEN LOSING POWER SUDDENLY, WITHOUT WARNING FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. THE ISSUE OCCURS AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, ROAD CONDITIONS, AFTER VARIOUS RUNNING TIMES. WHEN POWER IS LOST THE LIGHTS FAIL TO OPERATE, THE ENGINE COMPLETELY STOPS, SIGNALS DONT WORK, STEERING IS MINIMAL. WE HAVE ALMOST BEEN IN SEVERAL ACCIDENTS. THE DEALERSHIP IT WAS TAKEN TO ONLY PROVIDED A FAILING EGR VALVE AS A DIAGNOSIS WITH AN ESTIMATE OF OVER $700. HOWEVER, RESEARCH DID NOT INDICATE THAT WOULD RESOLVE THE SUDDEN SHUT-OFF. I TOOK IT TO A PRIVATE GARAGE AFTER NOTICING THE ENGINE TENDED TO SHUT DOWN WHEN THE KEYS SEEMS TO BE TOUCHED. I WAS ABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE REINFORCING MY ASSUMPTION. THE SHOP REPLACED THE IGNITION MODULE (AS HAS BEEN RECALLED WITH OTHER TOWN AND COUNTRY VEHICLES) AND I HAVE NOT HAD A SINGLE ISSUE. THE FAILING IGNITION MODULE HAS BEEN AN ISSUE IN THOUSANDS OF VEHICLE AND THIS SHOULD BE INCLUDED.

Mileage: 105,000

GEAR SHIFTER DOESN'T RELEASE KEY IN PARK, KEY WON'T COME OUT OF IGNITION. HAVE TO TAP GEAR SHIFTER TO RELEASE KEY.

Mileage: 140,000

IN ATTEMPTING TO TURN NORTH ON TO ROUTE 29 FROM THE KROGER GAS STATION IN CHILICOTHE, IL THE VEHICLE ENTIRELY SHUT DOWN WHEN PARTIALLY THROUGH THE TURN. THE LIGHTING TURNED OFF, THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN, AND POWER STEERING DID NOT OPERATE. I WAS ABLE TO SHIFT THE VEHICLE INTO NEUTRAL, AND ATTEMPTED TO THE VEHICLE. IT STARTED BUT INSTANTANEOUSLY SHUT DOWN AGAIN. I ATTEMPTED ONCE MORE AND IT STARTED AND I QUICKLY SHIFTED INTO DRIVE TO AVOID BEING STRUCK BY ANOTHER VEHICLE ON THE 2 LANE ROADWAY.

Mileage: 104,000

VEHICLE'S SYSTEM (ELECTRICAL, MOTOR, STEERING) SHUTS DOWN WHILE IN OPERATION. LIGHTS DO NOT FUNCTION, LOSS OF POWER STEERING, BRAKING IS LIMITED. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH A PREVIOUS COMPLAINT FILED (11166442). WHEN THE VEHICLE LOSES POWER, IF THE KEY FOB IS TOUCHED, THE VEHICLE MAY REGAIN POWER SUDDENLY.

Mileage: 104,000

THE FOLLOWING HAS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE LAST OCCURRENCE WAS 4/12/19. ABOUT 5 TO 10 MINUTES ONCE I START DRIVING, THE BRAKES LOCK UP, THE WHEEL LOCKS, THE VAN STALLS, AND THE ORANGE TRACTION LIGHT COMES ON. I TURN THE CAR OFF, PUT IT IN PARK AND THEN RESTART IT. AFTER RESTARTING, IT DRIVES OK. THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 15 TIMES SINCE NOVEMBER OF LAST YEAR. I'VE TAKEN IT TO TWO MECHANICS. ON 4/18/19, THE MECHANIC PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. CODES FOUND WERE P1790 AND C121C. THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED AND HE SAID IF THE PROBLEM REOCCURS THE ENGINE CONTROL MODULE IS FAULTY. THE FIRST MECHANIC ALSO MADE SOME REPAIRS. I'VE SPENT OVER $1000 TRYING TO FIX THIS ISSUE. THERE'S OVER 800 ISSUES ON THIS WEBSITE OF THIS ISSUE. WHAT WOULD IT TAKE TO GET AN INVESTIGATION OPENED?

Mileage: 96,000

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.

Mileage: 127,000

VAN WILL JUST SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. NO WARNING, NO LIGHTS. HAVE HAD THE RECALL FIXED TWICE BUT PROBLEM STILL HASN'T STOPPED. DOESN'T IT DOESN'T MATTER IF THE VAN IS COLD OR WARM OR WHAT SPEED. IT HAS DONE IT ON THE FREEWAY AT 70MPH. DEALER CAN NOT GET IT TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM HAD IF FOR 3 WEEKS IN THE SHOP. I CAN NOT KEEP DRIVING THIS VEHICLE IF NO ONE CAN FIND WHAT IS WRONG. CHRYSLER BUILT THE CAR WHY CAN'T THEY FIND OUT WHAT'S WRONG.

Mileage: 90,000

VEHICLE STALLS BETWEEN 20-40 MPH ON CITY STREETS AND THE TRACTION ICON COMES ON. POWER STEERING IMMEDIATELY GOES OUT AND THE VEHICLE MUST BE PULLED OVER AND RESTARTED. PROBLEM WAS VERY INTERMITTENT WHEN IT FIRST APPEARED 3/31/18 BUT NOW HAPPENS ON ALMOST EVERY TRIP, TYPICALLY NEAR THE BEGINNING OF THE TRIP (11/21/18). MECHANIC HAS FAILED TO REPLICATE, DIAGNOSE, OR FIX THE PROBLEM.

Mileage: 130,000

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. SO THE CAR WAS SPEEDING UP 10/30/18 TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT BRIEFLY ON 2) CAR IN MOTION, DECELLING FROM 35 MPH, TURNING LEFT ACROSS ON COMING TRAFFIC, THE POWER STEERING & THE POWER BREAKS WENT OUT. HARD TO TURN & HARD TO BREAK, BARELY STOPPED IN TIME. HAD TO TURN OFF & BACK ON AGAIN 11/17/18 TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT BRIEFLY ON 3) FOR THE PAST 6 MONTHS, THERE HAVE BEEN OCCASIONS WHERE MY CAR WOULD NOT START UNTIL LIKE THE 7 OR 10TH TURN OVER OF THE FOB. CAR NOT IN MOTION

Mileage: 98,907

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, SO FAR HAPPENED 3 TIMES DURING THE FIRST 5 MINS DRIVING ON A CURVED ROAD, TWICE HAPPENED AT THE SAME LOCATION 1 WEEK APART. FIRST LOST THE POWER STEERING, THEN THE ESP/TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS ON, POWER BRAKE LOST NEXT. MANAGE TO STOP THE CAR, TURN ON THE HAZARD LIGHTS AND RESTART THE 2010 T&C. THEN EVERY THING BACK TO NORMAL AGAIN. SENT TO SANDS CHRYSLER DEALER OVER QUAKERTOWN PA 18951, NO CODE READ OUT, SUGGEST TO START WITH 90K MAINTENANCE. NOTICED SO MANY SIMILIAR CASE REPORTED THROUGH THE WEB PAGES, HOPE CHRYSLER TREAT THIS SERIOUSLY. THE DEALER DID NOT PERFORM THE L25 RECALL ON THE IGNITION SWITCH, LOOKS LIKE MY CAR IS NOT QUALIFY, I WILL DOUBLE CHECK AGAIN. MILAGE READING IS 96069

Mileage: 96,069

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. A DAY OR TWO LATER IT BEGAN TO STALL AND TURNED OFF IN TRAFFIC. THE BATTERY HAS BEEN CHECKED AND IT IS FUNCTIONING - THE LOCAL MECHANIC PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND NO CODE WAS PRESENT. CURRENTLY IT HAD STALLED AND TURNED OFF SEVERAL TIMES - EXTREMELY STRESSFUL AND DANGEROUS.

Mileage: 99,000

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.

Mileage: 554,000

MY WIFE WAS BACKING OUT OF A DRIVEWAY, THE ENGINE SHUT OFF AND THE POWER BRAKES AND POWER STEERING DIDN'T WORK. THE VEHICLE DRIFTED INTO THE ROAD BECAUSE SHE WAS UNABLE TO STOP IN TIME. THERE WERE NO OTHER CARS INVOLVED IN THE INCIDENT.

Mileage: 76,000

MY CAR COMPLETELY LOCKS UP ON ME WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. BEFORE THE ENGINE WASN'T SHUTTING OFF. NOW IT IS. MY WHEEL LOCKS UP AND WILL NOT RESET UNLESS I TURN THE CAR OFF. I HAVE BROUGHT THE CAR TO 2 DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS AS WELL AS ANOTHER WELL TRUSTED MECHANIC. NO ONE CAN FIND THE ISSUE. ALL THE CODES ARE FINE, THERE ARE NO LEAKS, AND THE POWER STEERING FLUID IS GOOD. I HAVE 4 SMALL CHILDREN AND THIS HAS ALREADY HAPPENED ON 4 SEPARATE OCCASIONS WITH THEM IN THE CAR. THANK GOD WE HAVE NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THIS HAPPENING. THIS MORNING I SAT AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR 4 HOURS TO TELL ME THEY CAN'T FIND THE PROBLEM. I LEAVE THE DEALERSHIP AND THE CAR LOCKS UP ON ME AGAIN AND SHUTS DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. WHY CAN'T ANY ONE HELP ME OR DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM?!? WE PAID BIG BUCKS FOR THIS CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY! I EXPECT ANSWERS AND THE ISSUE TO GET FIXED!

Mileage: 115,900

THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME 3 TIMES WITHIN THE LAST FEW MONTHS. AT RANDOM TIMES. I WAS DRIVING 25 MILES OR UNDER WHEN MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED WHILE DRIVING. IT HAPPENED TWICE IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD AND ONCE ON A CITY STREET COMING UP TO AN INTERSECTION. I WAS UNABLE TO TURN THE WHEEL AT ALL! MY TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT ON MY DASH BOARD CAME ON AS WELL. I CAME TO A STOP. TURNED THE CAR OFF AND TURNED IT BACK ON AND THE STEERING WHEEL WAS NO LONGER LOCKED AND DASH LIGHT WAS NO LONGER ON. WENT BACK TO NORMAL WITH NO ISSUES. VERY CONCERNING!

Mileage: 93,000

VEHICLE STARTED HAVING ISSUES IN 2014. VEHICLE JUST WOULD NOT CRANK ONE MORNING. GOT A JUMP START AND TOOK IT TO AUTOZONE AND GOT A NEW BATTERY. ABOUT 3 MONTHS LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED. GOT A JUMP START, WENT TO AUTOZONE AND THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH BATTERY, ALTERNATOR OR STARTER. AUTOZONE GAVE ME A NEW BATTERY ANYWAY. ABOUT 4 MONTHS LATER, HAPPENED AGAIN. BROUGHT VEHICLE TO CHRYSLER FOR WIN MODULE RECALL FIX AND EXPLAINED WHAT WAS HAPPENING. THEY SAID HANDLING THE RECALL AND A NEW BATTERY SHOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. ABOUT 2 MONTHS LATER, HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. CHRYSLER REPLACE WIN MODULE AGAIN AND I GOT CHRYSLER TO REPLACE BATTERY AT THIS TIME AS I EXPLAINED THAT THE BATTERY WAS BEING AFFECTED DUE TO THE PART THAT WAS BEING RECALLED. ALL WAS FINE FOR ABOUT A YEAR OR SO AND THEN STARTED HAPPENING AGAIN. BROUGHT IT BACK TO CHRYSLER AND THEY SAID BATTERY HAD A DEAD CELL. I EXPLAINED THAT THEY HAD JUST PUT THE BATTERY IN ABOUT A YEAR AGO AND IT SHOULD BE UNDER WARRANTY. THEY TOLD ME, "WE DON'T DO WARRANTY REPLACEMENTS ON WARRANTY REPLACEMENTS". SO, I AM JUST DEALING WITH THE BATTERY RIGHT NOW. MOST RECENTLY, ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO, DASH BOARD WARNING LIGHTS STARTED ALL COMING IN AT THE SAME TIME. THEN THEY WOULD ALL GO OFF AND ONE SIDE OF THE DASH ILLUMINATION WOULD GO OUT. NEXT START UP, ILLUMINATION WOULD BE FINE AGAIN. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES OVER A COUPLE OF MONTHS. THEN, ONE DAY WHILE DRIVING, THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT, THE TRACTION LIGHT CAME ON AND THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF! WAS ABLE TO PUT VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL AND RESTART. THIS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES IN A MONTH, BUT WAS ALWAYS OK AFTER ONE RESTART. NOW, IT KEEPS HAPPENING AND ONLY LASTS A FEW MINUTES BEFORE NEEDING TO BE RESTARTED AGAIN. AFRAID THAT THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN WHILE TURNING ACROSS ONCOMING TRAFFIC OR IN A SITUATION WHERE WE CAN NOT PULL OVER TO SAFETY AND WILL GET REAR-ENDED.

VEHICLE STALLS WHILE DRIVING CONSTANTLY. IT SEEMS TO BE WORSE AT SLOWER SPEEDS, BUT DOES HAPPEN AT HIGHER SPEEDS. WHEN THE STALL OCCURS, YOU OFTEN SEE THE ABS LIGHT COME ON. THE CAR LOSES POWER STEERING. YOU HAVE TO PULL OVER AND RESTART OR SOMETIMES CAN PUT IT INTO NEUTRAL AND RESTART WHILE DRIVING. THERE ARE OTHER TIMES CAR SEEMS TO SURGE FORWARD FOR NO REASON. IT'S OFTEN DIFFICULT TO START.

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.

THE ENGINE OF MY 2010 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY SHUT OFF WHILE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY AT A SPEED OF APPROXIMATELY 60MPH. IT HAS HAPPENED TWO OTHER TIMES AT LOWER SPEEDS WHILE IN TOWN. THE ISSUE LEFT ME AND MY FAMILY IN DANGER OF A HIGHWAY COLLISION. THIS PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH SPONTANEOUSLY DROPPING INTO ACCESSORY MODE WHICH MATCHES A RECALL FOR THE SAME ISSUE IN OTHER TOWN AND COUNTRY'S VERY CLOSE TO THE DATE OF MANUFACTURE OF MINE. THAT RECALL WAS 14V373. MY VAN WAS MANUFACTURED FOUR MONTHS AFTER THE RECALL WINDOW RELATING TO THE IGNITION SWITCH ISSUE WHICH SUBSEQUENTLY DISABLES THE AIRBAGS AND OTHER SAFETY EQUIPMENT. THE SPECIFIC PART THAT WAS THE ISSUE IN 14V373 AND WHAT I BELIEVE TO BE THE ISSUE HERE IS THE WIN MODULE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE STEERING AND BRAKES FAILED. THE VEHICLE RESTARTED AFTER ONE ATTEMPT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (KEN NELSON LOCATED ON 1100 N GALENA AVE, DIXON, IL 61021), BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE DEALER CONFIRMED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V373000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, AIR BAGS). THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE, BUT DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE AND VIN WERE UNKNOWN.

MY 2010 TOWN AND COUNTRY SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT A WARNING IT ALMOST CAUSE ME AND MY KIDS TO BE IN A ACCIDENT THIS MORNING TAKING MY KIDS TO SCHOOL PLEASE SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR WORSE

OUR 2010 CHRYSLER T&C STATED TO HAVE ENGINE STALL PROBLEMS SINCE TWO YEARS AGO. BASICALLY THE ENGINE JUST STOPPED WHEN DRIVING (THE RPM DROPS TO 0). THE DRIVER WILL FEEL THE STEERING WHEEL GETS HEAVY AND THE TRACTION WARNING LIGHT COMES ON. WE DID THE CHRYSLER R03 SAFETY RECALL REPAIR (I..E REPLACE THE WIN MODULE) BUT IT DOES NOT HELP AT ALL. ESPECIALLY PRONE TO STALL IN THE FIRST 20 MINUTES OF DRIVING WHEN TEMPS WAS LOW, AND ESPECIALLY WHEN HUMID. WE HAVE HAD IT CHECKED BY MULTIPLE MECHANIC SHOPS BUT NO CLUE WAS FOUND. MULTIPLE PARTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED (CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR, CAMSHAFT SENSOR, AND EGR VALVE) BUT NOTHING WORKED. NOW FOR EVERY DRIVING WE EXPECT AT LEAST 2-3 ENGINE STALLS ON THE ROAD. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS!! I SEE LOTS OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ONLINE AND CHRYSLER SHOULD DEFINITELY SOLVE THIS!

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, ALWAYS UNDER 40MPH, THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON, I LOSE POWER STEERING, THE ENGINE SHUTS DOWN, ALL LIGHTS AND RADIO IS DOWN. SO FAR I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND RESTART. THIS MORNING I HIT A CURB GOING AROUND THE ROUND ABOUT TAKING MY KIDS TO SCHOOL. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON OVER A YEAR. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF ITS COLD OR HOT, RAINING OR SUNNY. IT WILL GO A MONTH WITH NOTHING AND THEN IN ONE DAY IT WILL DIE 6 TIMES. WE HAVE BEEN TO PRIVATE MECHANICS WE HAVE BEEN TO TWO DIFFERENT CHRYSLER DEALERS AND THEY HAVE CHECKED THE ERG VALVE AND THE KEY FOB, THE IGNITION SWITCH, THEY HAVE CHECK THE BATTERY, RAN DOWN ALL THE ELECTRICAL STUFF, THEY HAD IT FOR 2 DAYS LAST WEEK AND COULDN'T FIGURE IT OUT. IT'S DIED ON MY 4 TIMES THIS WEEK. I HAVE FOUR KIDS AND I'M ALWAYS IN THE VAN AND NOW I'M SCARED TO DRIVE IT! WE CHECKED THE VIN AND THERE IS NO RECALL AS WE ALREADY DID THE VENT WINDOW. BUT THE RECALLS THAT ARE LISTED DESCRIBE EXACTLY WHAT IS HAPPENING. SO CHRYSLER KNOWS AND DOESN'T CARE! YOU CANNOT JUST RECALL CERTAIN BATCHES WHEN THERE ARE CLEARLY OTHER VEHICLES DOING THE SAME PROBLEM. WHAT IS CHRYSLER PREPARED TO DO FOR A FAMILY WHEN THEY ARE SERIOUSLY INJURED IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THEIR VAN! CAN'T TRADE IT IN. DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO TAKE THE LOSS, WTF ARE CONSUMERS SUPPOSED TO DO WITH THESE VANS. WE ARE THE ORIGINAL OWNERS OF THE 2010 T&C, I LOVE THIS VAN BUT IT SCARES ME TO DEATH! I JUST WANT IT FIXED! I MEAN I LOVE ROLLER COASTERS TOO BUT IF ONE KEPT GOING OFF THE TRACKS I'M NOT [XXX] SURE I WOULDN'T RIDE IT OR PUT MY FAMILY ON IT. PLEASE CHRYSLER FIX THESE CARS!

DURING DRIVING (TYPICALLY CITY SPEEDS OF ~30-45MPH), WITHOUT WARNING OR NOTIFICATION THE ENGINE WILL SHUT OFF AND YOU WILL LOSE ALL POWER STEERING AND BRAKING IS SERIOUSLY DIMINISHED. IT HAS HAPPENED ONCE ON THE HIGHWAY AT ~65MPH THAT I AM AWARE OF). WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE ONLY INDICATION YOU GET IS THE RED TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD.IT CAN HAPPEN WHILE TURNING, DRIVING STRAIGHT, CURVES, ETC. IN ORDER TO GAIN ENGINE POWER AND THE ABILITY TO STEER, THE ONLY FIX ACTION IS TO PLACE THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL AND TURN THE KEY TO RESTART. IT WILL NOT JUST RESTART IN "DRIVE". WE HAVE TAKEN THIS VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP 4+ TIMES IN ORDER TO DIAGNOSE AND FIX...TO WHICH WE HAVE BEEN TOLD "THERE IS NOTHING SHOWING UP ON DIAGNOSES", "SOUNDS LIKE IT COULD BE X, BUT IT'S $1500 TO REPLACE AND WE CAN'T GUARANTEE IT WILL FIX IT". WE HAVE MADE SURE THAT IT IS NOT VISIBLY RELATED TO THE IGNITION ISSUE NOTED ON SOME OTHER SAME YEAR/MODEL VEHICLES...ALTHOUGH IT CANNOT BE 100% RULED OUT AS SOMEHOW RELATED. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH ON CHRYSLER WEBFORUMS AND THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN NOTED BY MULTIPLE OTHER OWNERS (IE. HTTPS://WWW.CARGURUS.COM/CARS/DISCUSSION-T27257_DS557462 ) AND ONE OF THE MECHANICS MADE AN OFF THE CUFF REMARK ABOUT SEEING THIS ISSUE BEFORE AS WELL. WE HAVE RECENTLY MOVED CITIES AND I PLAN ON TAKING THIS TO A NEW DEALER IN AN ATTEMPT TO FIX THE ISSUE. BUT THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE, IF THIS WAS TO OCCUR WHILE TRYING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN ACROSS TRAFFIC, OR AT A TIME WHEN THE CAR IN FRONT IS BRAKING, IT COULD BE DEADLY. I USED TO HAPPEN ABOUT ONCE A MONTH, BUT IT'S STARTING TO BECOME MORE FREQUENT (ALMOST WEEKLY, SOMETIMES, 2-3 TIMES/DAY). *TR

MY FAMILY PURCHASED A 2010 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY IN NOVEMBER 2014. THE VEHICLE SEEMED TO DRIVE NORMALLY UNTIL SOMETIME AT THE BEGINNING OF 2015 (I CAN ALWAYS GET EXACT DATES OF SERVICE) WHEN IT BEGAN TO STALL WHILE DRIVING. THE STALLING TYPICALLY HAPPENS AT LOW SPEEDS ' LESS THAN 35 MPH. IT HAS STALLED ONCE IN A 40 MPH ZONE, BUT MORE OFTEN THAN NOT IT HAPPENS ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET WITH A SPEED LIMIT OF 25 MPH OR LESS. AS THE VEHICLE STALLS, THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT FLASHES AND THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT. THE CAR BECOMES UNMANAGEABLE, AND THE ONLY OPTION FOR THE DRIVER IS TO ATTEMPT TO PULL OVER, COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, PLACE THE VEHICLE IN PARK, AND RESTART. WE HAVE TAKEN THE CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP A FEW TIMES AND ONCE TO AN AUTO REPAIR BUSINESS UNAFFILIATED WITH CHRYSLER. NONE OF THE TECHNICIANS WHO HAVE SEEN THE CAR CAN DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE. THEY HAVE TRIED TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM, BUT THE REPAIRS THAT WERE MADE WERE ONLY GUESSES AND DID NOT FIX THE VEHICLE. WE HAVE ANOTHER APPOINTMENT WITH CHARLIE'S ON AUGUST 1. THIS WAS THE EARLIEST 'ONE OF THEIR BEST TECHNICIANS' COULD SEE US. DURING THIS TIME WE HAVE ALSO CONTACTED THE CHRYSLER, THE MANUFACTURER, TO SEEK GUIDANCE. THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO PROVIDE ANY OTHER THAN TO TELL US TO REACH OUT TO THE ATTORNEY GENERAL. ADDITIONALLY, SEVERAL WEBSITES\FORUMS DISCUSS THIS EXACT PROBLEM. IT IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT.

I TOOK MY VAN IN FOR A SIMPLE VALVE CHANGE BECAUSE IT WAS USING A LOT OF OIL ON 2/15/16. A WEEK AND A HALF LATER I RECEIVED MY VAN BACK AND IT STALLED IN FRONT OF A TRACTOR TRAILER TRUCK. 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 VAN WILL HAVE THE IGNITION CUT OFF AND THE STEERING AND BRAKES GET HARD TO OPERATE. THIS USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN TURNING AND YOU HAVE TO PUT VAN IN NEUTRAL WHILE TRYING TO AVOID TRAFFIC AND RESTART IT .THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 7 OR MORE TIMES ALREADY.

THIS RESETS AND YOU CAN DRIVE NORMALLY. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY UNSAFE AND SCARY WHEN IT HAPPENS. HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES.

NO TURNS INVOLVED. WEATHER CONDITIONS WERE FAVORABLE WITH NO RAIN OR INCLEMENT WEATHER, BOTH WERE AT NIGHT 7-8PM TIMEFRAME @ APPROX 50 DEGREES F OUTSIDE AIR TEMP BOTH TIMES.

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.

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.

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.

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!!!!

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.

I PURCHASED MY 2010 TOWN AND COUNTRY USED IN SEPT.2013. SHORTLY AFTER, I STARTED EXPERIENCING ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE STARTING. IT WOULD TAKE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS BEFORE THE CAR WOULD START. IT IS ALWAYS RANDOM AND SPORADIC. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP BUT THEY SAID BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. IN ADDITION TO NOT STARTING, THE DOORS WOULD NOT WORK PROPERLY. THEY'D OPEN AND CLOSE ON THEIR OWN. THEY ALSO DON'T STOP IF SOMETHING IS IN THE WAY. RECENTLY, THE RADIO/FRONT VIDEO SCREEN STARTED SHUTTING OFF AND TURNING ON AS I WAS DRIVING. AND OCCASIONALLY, THE STEERING SEEMED TO GET TIGHT. THEN YESTERDAY, JUNE 2015, I WAS DRIVING TO WORK AND MY STEERING TOTALLY LOCKED UP. I COULD NOT STEER AT ALL. FORTUNATELY, I WAS ONLY 25 YARDS FROM A STOP SIGN. I WAS ABLE TO BRAKE BUT WAS UNABLE TO PUSH THE GAS PEDAL AGAIN, SO I STARTED COASTING BACK TOWARD THE CAR BEHIND ME. I QUICKLY PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK. I SHUT IT OFF AND TURNED IT BACK ON AND IT APPEARED TO BE FINE. I DROVE THE CAR STRAIGHT TO THE DEALER. THEY HAVE HAD IT FOR TWO DAYS AND AGAIN CANNOT DUPLICATE WHAT I EXPERIENCED, SO THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. I AM NOW SERIOUSLY CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY, THE SAFETY OF MY CHILDREN, AND THOSE DRIVING AROUND ME.

SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. I'M EXPECTED TO DRIVE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN. THEY SHOULD REALLY PAY FOR THE TOW AS IT'S NOT A SAFE VEHICLE TO DRIVE.

I WAS DRIVING ON A STATE ROAD AT ABOUT 60 MPH WHEN THE VAN DIED. I WAS ABLE TO GLIDE OFF THE ROAD AND RESTART IT. IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE, AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. ALSO, SOMETIMES WHEN I BRAKE, THE CAR PULLS TO ONE SIDE OR THE OTHER, OR THE STEERING WHEEL VIBRATES. AGAIN, AT VARIOUS TIMES, AND AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. ALSO, THE RPM DROP WHILE AT A STEADY SPEED, AND TWICE HAVE REVVED HIGH WHILE ON CRUISE CONTROL. ALL THESE PROBLEMS ARE INTERMITTENT AND DO NOT SHOW UP ON DIAGNOSTICS AT THE DEALER. I HAD THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED, BECAUSE THAT DID SHOW UP ON DIAGNOSTICS AT THE TOM O'BRIEN CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP, BUT THE PROBLEMS CONTINUE, AND I MAY HAVE SPENT THAT MONEY UNNECESSARILY. I FOUND ON MY OWN THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON THE WIN MODULE AND THE KEY FOB--THE REASONS FOR THE CAR DYING WHILE DRIVING--AND WILL GET THEM REPLACED. BUT I RESENT THAT I PAID FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION AND THAT WASN'T THE PROBLEM, AND THAT CHRYSLER MOST LIKELY HAS BEEN AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM FOR YEARS BUT ALLOWED THE VEHICLE TO BE SOLD, PUTTING OUR LIVES IN DANGER. *TR

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.

EXPERIENCED POWER STEERING FAILURE (FEELING WAS COMPLETE LOSS OF STEERING) IN FOLLOWING CONDITION. WHILE DRIVING AT ABOUT 40-45 MPH AND COMING TO MIDDLE LANE FOR MAKING A LEFT TURN APPROACHING RED LIGHT. ESC LIGHT CAME ON. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE ON THIS VEHICLE. ROAD CONDITION: DRY. I AM WORRIED THAT VEHICLE MAY LOOSE COMPLETE CONTROL IF THIS HAPPENS AT HIGHWAY DRIVING SPEED. DURING BOTH INCIDENT, USE THE KEY TO TURN OFF THE IGNITION AND POWER THE VEHICLE BACK ON AND IT STARTED FUNCTIONING AS INTENDED. THERE WAS NO AGGRESSIVE EVENT OR ENVIRONMENT CONDITION WHICH SHOULD HAVE TRIGGERED ESC LIGHT UPON LOSS OF POWER STEERING. *TR

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

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

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

OUR 2010 TOWN AND COUNTRY MINIVAN HAS BEEN STALLING SINCE Q1 OF 2014. WE HAVE TAKEN IT TO NORMANDEN IN SAN JOSE, CA NUMEROUS TIMES TO HAVE THEM DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. WE HAVE LEFT IT WITH THEM ON EACH OCCASION TO DRIVE IT WITH THEIR DIAGNOSTIC COMPUTER AND THEY HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO FIND A CODE TELLING THEM WHAT TO FIX. ON DEC. 27 WE TOOK IT BACK IN TO NORMANDEN AFTER IT STALLED 19 TIMES IN THE PREVIOUS 7 DAYS. WE LEFT THE CAR WITH THEM WHILE WE WERE ON VACATION FOR 12 DAYS, AND ASKED THEM TO HAVE THEIR LEAD MECHANIC DRIVE IT HOME EVERY DAY WITH THE COMPUTER ON IT TO SEE IF THEY COULD GET IT TO FAIL. IT DID FAIL, BUT WE WERE TOLD THAT HE DID NOT HAVE THE COMPUTER ON IT AT THE TIME. WE ALSO WERE TOLD THAT IT DID NOT FAIL FOR HIM SINCE THEN WITH THE COMPUTER ON IT. I JUST TALKED TO OUR SERVICE WRITER [XXX], AND HE SAID AGAIN, WITHOUT A CODE THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THEY CANNOT TRY SWAPPING PARTS LIKE THE MAIN COMPUTER, BECAUSE THEY WILL NOT GET REIMBURSED BY CHRYSLER, IF DOES NOT FAIL WHEN THEY SEND IT BACK. MY WIFE DRIVES THIS CAR EVERY DAY, AS I DO NOT DRIVE. SHE TAKES ME TO WORK AND BABY SITS OUR 2 BEAUTIFUL GRAND CHILDREN WHO LIVE 75 MILES NORTH OF US. EVERY TIME IT STALLS, THE POWER STEERING NO LONGER WORKS AND THE POWER ASSISTED BREAKS DO NOT STOP THE CAR VERY WELL WITHOUT A LOT OF PRESSURE ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. SHE HAS TO DRIVE IN THE RIGHT LANE IN CASE IT STALLS SO SHE CAN TRY TO COAST TO A SAFE SPOT TO RESTART THE CAR. SHE HAS ALMOST BEEN HIT FROM BEHIND WHICH IS A VERY SCARY AND DANGEROUS SITUATION. SHE AND I ARE ALWAYS SCARED THAT WE WILL BE HIT BY SOMEONE, PUTTING US AND OUR GRANDKIDS IN DANGER. I HOPE YOU CAN HELP US GET THESE PROBLEMS FIXED, OR A NEW CAR, BEFORE ONE OF US IS INJURED OR KILLED. WE WILL BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO GIVE YOU MORE DETAILS IF YOU WILL CALL EITHER MY WIFE OR ME.

I WAS CHARGED $626.75 FOR THIS REPAIR AT DEALER AND CLAIM OUR VEHICLE DID NOT HAVE THIS RECALL. HOWEVER THIS VEHICLE HAD THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. ENGINE STALLING RESULTED IN THE LOSS OF POWER BRAKES, POWER STEERING AND AIRBAG LOSS.

AFTER A FEW SECONDS THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT AND ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON THE DASH. I CAN COAST TO A STOP, PUT THE VAN IN PARK AND TURN THE IGNITION TO START AND THE VAN WILL START AGAIN. I CAN THEN PUT IT IN DRIVE AND EVERYTHING IS FINE UNTIL IT HAPPENS AGAIN AT A RANDOM TIME. IT APPEARS THAT THERE ARE TWO RECALL NOTICES FOR THIS YEAR VEHICLE FOR THE SAME PROBLEM BUT FOR SOME REASON MY VAN IS NOT COVERED BY EITHER OF THESE TWO RECALLS. *TR

MYSELF,MY HUSBAND,& 3 YOUNG CHILDREN WERE DRIVING HOME AT 45 MLS AN HOUR AND THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY TURNED OFF. WE LOST POWER STEERING, POWER BRAKES AND THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. WE HAD TO COAST TO A COMPLETE STOP( THANK GOD NO ONE WAS BEHIND US OR AROUND US) AND PUT THE VAN IN PARK AND IT TURNED BACK ON. 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"!

I HAD THE KEY FOB IN THE IGNITION AND WHEN I WENT TO TURN OFF VEHICLE IT WOULD NOT TURN OFF ALL THE WAY. THE KEY FOB SEEMED TO HAVE SEPARATED SOMEWHAT. I WRESTLED WITH GETTING THE VEHICLE TURNED OFF FOR A WHILE AND WAS FINALLY ABLE TO GET THE KEY OUT AND THE VEHICLE TURNED OFF. WHEN I WENT TO TURN THE VEHICLE BACK ON THE KEY FOB WOULD NOT WORK. THERE WAS POWER TO THE FOB. IT WOULD LOCK/UNLOCK DOORS AND THE BATTERY WAS FINE. THE KEY FOB WOULD NOT TURN AND COULD NOT GET THE CAR OUT OF PARK OR GET THE CAR TO DO ANYTHING. HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY TOLD ME I NEEDED A NEW WIN MODULE. THIS WAS RECALLED AND FIXED IN 2012. THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT IS NOT THE SAME PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD ON THE RECALL THEY FIXED A COMPONENT OF THE WIN MODULE AND NOW I NEED A WHOLE NEW ONE FOR $800 AND CHRYSLER WILL NOT COVER THIS EVEN THOUGH IT IS THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM THAT THE RECALL SUPPOSEDLY FIXED. CAR IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD WITH 54,000 MILES ON IT. THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING AND CHRYSLER SHOULD FIX IT. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND IT HAS BEEN ASSIGNED TO A CASE MANAGER. WE WILL SEE WHAT THE CASE MANAGER SAYS. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. FOR CHRYSLER TO FIX A PROBLEM ON A RECALL AND WHEN THAT FIX OBVIOUSLY DID NOT WORK BECAUSE SAME PROBLEM IS HAPPENING TO SAY IT'S NOT THE SAME THING IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT SLOWER SPEEDS, MY 2010 CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY WILL JUST SHUT DOWN. POWER STEERING IS LOST, ENGINE IS COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 5 TIMES OVER THE PAST MONTH. IN ALL CASES WE HAVE HAD TO PULL OFF THE ROAD (IF WE COULD), REMOVE THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION, THEN RESTART THE VEHICLE. WE ARE FEARFUL THIS WILL HAPPEN AT A HIGHER RATE OF SPEED AND WE WILL GET IN AN ACCIDENT. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE DIAGNOSTICS TEST DID NOT FIND ANYTHING. THE TECHNICIAN HAS BEEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE AROUND FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS TO TRY AND DUPLICATE THE SITUATION WITH NO SUCCESS.

I WAS TURNING A SLOW CURVE AND I AM NOT SURE WHAT CAUSED IT, BUT MY ENGINE TURNED OFF, MY POWER STEERING AND GAS PEDAL FAILED. MY BRAKES DIDN'T SEEM TO WORK AS WELL AND I HAD TO COME TO A SLOWED STOP AND FORCE MY STEERING TO TURN ONTO AN OFF ROAD SO I DIDN'T CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. WHEN I CAME TO A STOP I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF AND BACK ON AND THE CAR STARTED UP RIGHT AWAY AND I HAVE NOT HAD AN ISSUE SINCE. I AM NOT SURE IF I BUMPED THE KEYS IN THE IGNITION OR NOT. UNFORTUNATELY, I HAVE HAD A FEW FAMILY EMERGENCIES AND HAVE HAD TO RESCHEDULE THE APPT TO GET MY CAR LOOKED AT AND DO NOT KNOW THE ISSUE. I AM CONCERNED THAT IT HAS TO DO WITH THE RECALLS OF CARS WITH FAULTY KEY/IGNITION ISSUES. I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR THAT WAS SUPPOSEDLY CERTIFIED BACK IN NOVEMBER OF 2013 WITH ONLY APPROX. 37,000 MILES ON IT. SHOULD I GIVE THIS BACK AS A LEMON AND GET A DIFFERENT VEHICLE? *TR

HAPPENS ALSO WHEN GOING OVER A BUMP AND IN DRY CONDITIONS(MEANING IT'S NOT WET WHEN LIGHT IS DISPLAYED SLIPPERY). - ALREADY HAD THE RECALL L25 DONE IN AUGUST 2011.

MY WIFE AND I PURCHASED A 2010 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY WITH A MANUFACTURE DATE OF 11/10, ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO, AND WE IMMEDIATELY WERE HAVING ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLES ENGINE BEING SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. I DID SOME RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND THAT THE SAME MODEL VEHICLE MANUFACTURED BETWEEN AUGUST 3, 2009 AND JUNE 17, 2010 WERE RECALLED DUE TO THIS SAME ISSUE. APPARENTLY THEY WERE BUILT WITH IGNITIONS THAT COULD ACCIDENTALLY SWITCH FROM THE "RUN" POSITION TO "ACCESSORY," THEREBY CAUSING THE ENGINE TO SHUT OFF. BUT MY SAME EXACT MODEL VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED BY THIS RECALL BECAUSE IT DOES NOT FALL WITHIN THE MANUFACTURE DATE FOR THE RECALL. I AM HIGHLY UPSET AT THIS BECAUSE MY WIFE IS THE MAIN OPERATOR OF THIS VEHICLE AND MY SON IS WITH HER IN THE VAN. I WANT SOME ANSWERS ABOUT THIS ISSUE, AND A REASON WHY MY VAN IS NOT IN THE RECALL WHEN IT IS OBVIOUS THAT ALL VANS OF THIS MODEL YEAR ARE AFFECTED, I REFUSE TO PAY TO HAVE THIS FIXED WHEN IT IS OBVIOUS THIS IS A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT.

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.

THIS IS A RENTED VEHICLE FROM ADVANTAGE RENT A CAR PHX. MODEL IS 2010 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY VAN WITH AZ PLATE [XXX] (I DID NOT GET THE VIN). I WAS DRIVING ON A SURFACE STREET AT APPROXIMATELY 30-35 MPH WHEN THE VAN SUDDENLY LOST ALL POWER. THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WENT COMPLETELY DEAD (SPEEDOMETER DROPPED TO ZERO AND ALL GAUGES WENT DARK), THE RADIO WENT DEAD, AND POWER STEERING AND BRAKING WERE NON-FUNCTIONAL. I DID NOT ATTEMPT TO RESTART THE VEHICLE WHILE MOVING BECAUSE THE SHIFTER POSITIONS ARE UNMARKED AND THE GEAR INDICATOR ALONG WITH THE ENTIRE DASH PANEL WENT DARK. I WAS ABLE TO PULL THE VEHICLE ON COASTING POWER INTO A PARKING LOT WITH GREAT DIFFICULTY DUE TO THE LACK OF POWER STEERING AND BRAKING. ONCE I WAS SAFELY STOPPED. I PUT THE GEAR SHIFT BACK INTO PARK, REMOVED THE ELECTRONIC KEY FOB, REINSERTED IT AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE RETURNED BACK TO WORKING ORDER - THE ENGINE STARTED AND THE ALL DASH PANEL CONTROLS RETURNED TO NORMAL OPERATION. I CONSIDER THIS A VERY SERIOUS AND POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING SAFETY PROBLEM. IF THIS SAME THING HAD HAPPENED TO ME THE PRIOR EVENING WHEN I WAS DRIVING DOWN A STEEP WINDING MOUNTAIN ROAD AT 70 MPH AT NIGHT WITH NO ROAD LIGHTING, THE CONSEQUENCES COULD HAVE BEEN DEADLY SINCE I WOULD HAVE LOST ALL VEHICLE LIGHTING, INSTRUMENTATION, AND POWER CONTROLS. BECAUSE OF THE SUDDENNESS OF THE FAILURE, I SUSPECT THIS WAS AN ELECTRONIC FAILURE AND NOT A MECHANICAL FAILURE - AKIN TO YOUR COMPUTER CRASHING.
