The van has stopped running on the highway without warning 3 times creating a very serious problem,had to be towed to get home,dealer could find nothing wrong.

The contact owns a 2013 Chrysler Town and Country. The contact stated while driving 40 MPH, the check engine warning light illuminated. The contact also stated that the vehicle hesitated with an engine misfire. The vehicle was taken to independent mechanic and was diagnosed with cylinder #4 misfire. The spark plug and ignition coil was replaced; however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and the dealer declined to repair the vehicle under TSB: 09-002-14 (Cylinder leakage). The dealer referred the contact to Chrysler Customer Care for assistance. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 171,955.

The contact owns a 2013 Chrysler Town and Country. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle lost motive power. The brake pedal was depressed; however, the vehicle failed to stop as intended. Additionally, the vehicle lost power steering functionality and the vehicle became difficult to steer. The contact stated that the failure occurred while driving uphill on a very narrow street. The contact was able to shift the vehicle into park, while using both feet to depress the brake pedal. The vehicle was stopped, and the contact turned off the vehicle. The contact stated that her four-year-old granddaughter was a passenger in the vehicle and the situation was very scary. The contact waited for several minutes, before restarting the vehicle. The vehicle was driven to the residence. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or the dealer. The contact stated that the failure had occurred several times and the vehicle had been taken to an independent mechanic several times; however, the failure was not duplicated. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 99,000.

Today, we experienced, for the FOURTH time, a complete stall while driving. Accelerator would not work at all. Van died while driving approx 25 mph. We just had the entire fuel pump & fuel pump relay completely replaced. We have replaced both of these twice now, in less than 3 years. Same problem keeps happening. Mechanic agrees, that the core problem lies within a failure of the TIPM system. It's an electrical problem causing the fuel pump to fail while driving. This is extremely dangerous. It happened to us previously, while we were on the interstate driving approx 65 mph, and it almost caused us to crash the vehicle. Another problem to also note, is this same problem has caused the A/C unit to stop working. Blows out hot air, but will not produce cold air. A/C was completely replaced. Still not working. Mechanic says yet again, it's a failure of electrical sources due to the TIPM module. This should be an immediate recall from Chrysler, for 2013 Town N Country Minivan. Over 200 logged complaints of the exact same problem. They manufactured a broken TIPM module in these make & model vehicles. Now, my husband is stranded 200 miles from home, on the side of the road, and it's 98 degrees out. This is 4th time, weve experienced a total power failure. So it doesn't matter if you replace the fuel pump, it will still DIE. We are having this POS towed to our local mechanic, AGAIN. Its available for inspection. Problems have been confirmed by an independent servicer. Check engine remains on. Someone is going to die, if Chrysler doesn't issue an recall for this ongoing problem. The interior power is still on,and engine will turn over, will not start.

The WIN module in the listed vehicle has failed and is being replaced. This is the same type of WIN module that was contained in a recall for 2008-2010 models and should be updated to include the models beyond 2010. The problem has been random for a couple of years, but recently we have had constant issues with the vehicle shutting off while driving, leaving no power for steering or braking. The entire vehicle shuts off randomly, including WHILE DRIVING and is dangerous for anyone who owns this model vehicle. I am surprised and disappointed that newer models (same base design) are experiencing the same issue and nothing has been done. The following websites address the issue with model years similar to mine. [XXX] [XXX] [XXX] [XXX] [XXX] Included with this complaint is the repair estimate for my vehicle ($2057.38 for the replacement WIN module and programming). I have also included the NHTSA recall specific to this problem on 2009-2010 models, which have the same components as mine.

The contact owns a 2013 Chrysler Town and Country. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the vehicle stalled, and failed to respond as intended upon depressing the brake pedal. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to restart for approximately 45 minutes. The contact pulled to the side of the road. The contact stated that on one occasion, the vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic however, the failure could not be duplicated. No further information was provided. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

Started the vehicle and traveled maybe about 50 feet. Noticed loss of power steering. This was due to the engine stalling out. The vehicle would not start and there was a strong odor of fuel fumes in the vehicle cabin. Exited the vehicle and observed a large puddle of oil running downhill from the vehicle. The puddle also smelled of gasoline. I had the vehicle towed to a repair shop. The issue was determined to be a cracked oil filter housing assembly and the clip on the fuel return line had failed causing fuel to be sprayed onto the engine. The repair cost will be just over $800. It is fortunate that the engine was still cold and that the loss of oil caused the engine to shut off. If the engine had been hot enough to ignite the fuel, this could have had tragic results with a potential loss of my family's life. The oil filter housing assembly is a known issue with the Pentastar V6 3.6L engine. Chrysler so far has failed to take responsibility for this issue. I recently had to have repairs due to a faulty fuel pump relay. There appears to be related Chrysler TIPM recalls on almost every other model but the 2013 Town and Country. This issue appears to cause the vehicle to not start or allow the fuel pump to remain running after the vehicle is shut down. My Town and Country would not start and it produced strong fuel fumes. As noted, there are multiple safety issues noted with this model of vehicle that remain unresolved. It is a 2013 model but the issues are ones that have existed since the production of the vehicle and Chrysler has yet to assume responsibility. I will add a copy of the repair invoice shortly.

The contact owns a 2013 Chrysler Town and Country. The contact stated that the air bag warning light was flashing. Additionally, the Auto Start feature was inoperable. The contact also stated that the heater was activated independently. While driving at undisclosed speeds, the vehicle stalled with the check engine warning light illuminated. The contact stated that the hood latch had been seized, and the electrical system was inoperable. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, but the dealer declined to service the vehicle and referred the contact to the manufacturer for assistance. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 104,000.

We have had to replace 2 faulty flywheels (a.k.a. flexplates) in our Chrysler Town & Country. The mechanics report that the composite materials used in creating these flywheel/flexplate parts were "less structurally sound than they should have been; therefore causing premature breakdown/failure in otherwise acceptable conditions."

While driving the car stalls at speed and all electrical components stop functioning. This causes failure to the power steering, power brakes and all components that permit driving the vehicle. Has happened numerous times with no codes shown on the dash. Fuel was adequate and no apparent defects. Taken to mechanic and there are no codes to check and commonly the engine will start up after a while and appear to have no problems. This is very dangerous as the car can stall at any speed.

In two separate incidents on 5/4/23 and 5/5/23, while DRIVING, the vehicle has stalled without warning. The engine completely shut off. Power steering and breaks stopped functioning properly making it VERY difficult to pullover and stop. Once pulled over, had to place the vehicle in park, completely turn off the electrical and restart the vehicle. No warning lamps or messages appeared before or after the incident. The vehicle has been displaying some issues starting recently, especially when using the push button. However, we have always been able to get it to start by inserting the key. This is an incredibly dangerous situation for the driver and any occupants as it has happened without warning while driving on highways which could very easily result in an accident if unable to pullover safely or stop if the breaks are not working. The vehicle has not yet been inspected, but we plan to get it inspected as soon as possible.

Vehicle has stalled numerous times while operating at high rates of speed 60+ mph in most cases. No prior warning or indication of stalling until vehicle no longer accelerates and then seconds later loses power steering. Usually I can get to the side of the road and pull out of traffic. However last night was not the case. I stalled in a construction zone, with concrete barriers on both sides. I pulled over as far as I could and was nearly hit multiple times by semis and other vehicles. I had my 4 children in the car with me and they are traumatized now. They were bawling because they thought they were going to get hit. We had a sheriff call for a tow truck which was not free. We were left stranded in the dark, in the cold, for an hour just this incident. It once was an issue that only happened occasionally. It happened 6 times this past week while I was out of state for holidays. This is my only means of transportation and having a newborn I have to be able to get around safely. I will state again NO warning prior, and no engine light after to diagnose the issue. Myself and my 4 children could have lost our lives last night. The officers who stopped could have lost their lives the passerby could have lost their lives. This vehicle is a death trap. They need to recall all of them to locate the real problem before tragedy strikes. I wouldn’t even give this vehicle away that’s how unsafe it is.

Consistent failure of the "Total Integrated Power Module" which controls so many items in the car such as windshield wipers, windshield defroster fan, exterior lighting systems, heater fan, the ability for the car to start, the horn may or may not sound and many other accessory related items. It is a very WELL KNOWN failure of these modules and they are basically un available blamed on the supply chain problems. As a result of these problems in this very well known module failure cars have become basically un-able to drive safely or not at all and sit in dealers service areas waiting for these modules to be replaced at the owners cost in most cases in excess of $1,000.00 for a part that is a known failure in design by Chrysler Corporation and their various owners (Mercedes Benz, Fiat, Stellantis) and others unknown at this time. This is against the Consumer Product Safety Commission as well as the National Highway Transportation Safety Commission to have so many defective modules that create unsafe conditions for the vehicle owners where they are concerned about their own safety as well as the safety of those they share the roads and highways with. I am along with many others asking you to look into this situation and find some kind of remedy to correct this ongoing problem for consumers and the safe operation of the vehicles that they operate on the roads of America as well as foreign countries.

The contact owned a 2013 Chrysler Town & Country. The contact stated that while driving approximately 25 MPH he started to smell an odor of something burning in the vehicle cabin. The contact stated that he parked at his residence and the burning smell was much stronger on the outside. The contact opened the hood and smelled the burning odor but saw no smoke. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact entered his residence and then noticed that a fire had started on the passenger side of the vehicle in the engine compartment. The fire department was called and extinguished the fire with water. The police were also on the scene. A fire report was filed. The vehicle was towed to an impound lot and later the contact's insurance provider declared the vehicle a total loss. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 140,000.

Vehicle shuts off during travel. Randomly happens. Mechanics says there is no know issues.

The contact owns a 2013 Chrysler Town and Country. The contact stated that occasionally while driving at various speeds or while the vehicle was idling, the engine would shake with the check engine warning light illuminated. The contact had taken the vehicle to several independent mechanics on multiple occasions to have the coils, spark plugs, oil pan and other vehicle parts replaced; however, the failure persisted. An independent mechanic eventually discovered that there were engine misfires in cylinders #2, #4, #6; the contact was then informed of a service bulletin that the mechanic related to the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the service bulletin and informed him that his vehicle was not covered under warranty. The contact then called the dealer and made an appointment for a diagnostic test. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was 89,000.

The car will not start when cold. We did replace the battery and a few other parts. But it can not be diagnosed. My girls and I were stranded in the cold, far from home due to the issue. When it gets nice out than the van starts. I think sometimes should be done, due to family kids, and handicap need accessible vans.

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? While driving the entire engine and system shut off. All powered functions ceased and i was left to pull over with no power steering, the brakes didn't respond as well, signals weren't working either. Once pulled over I was able to restart the car with no issue, but the vehicle has continued to randomly lose all power, it seems to occur more frequently when when braking or slowing down. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? It was put at great risk as the car could have lost control and i was at limited capacity to correct with no engine power or other powered functions. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? No warning.

My Chrysler Town and Country has serious electrical issues. It started with the radio shutting off and restarting by itself, which is not a serious issue at all. But yesterday, at a red light, the radio shut off and so did the car. The engine stopped working, the accelerator pedal would not respond. It was terrifying. Thankfully we were at a red light, but if this were to happen on a busy highway, or even just on a regular street with traffic, it could be a life threatening situation. From what I have researched online, this is a common problem with Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge cars. Legal action has been taken and class action lawsuits were filed to address this matter. The Center for Auto Safety (CAS) asked this very own NHTSA to open an investigation into faulty TIPM, which seem to be the problem that causes these cars to very dangerously completely shut off even while driving, causing drivers to lose control of the steering and of the brakes. The CAS estimated 7 million Chrysler vehicles have power issues related to the TIPM. One month after receiving a class action lawsuit, Chrysler issued a recall for 189.000 Dodge Durango and Jeep Grand Cherokee with bad TIPMS. 189.000. Out of SEVEN MILLION. This is absurd. It seems as if Chrysler is waiting for someone to be killed due to this issue so they can take it seriously and actually issue the recall to all the cars that have this problem, not a tiny fraction of them and not only because it is directly related to a lawsuit. Unfortunately, despite multiple claims throughout the years that not only this is a common problem with Chrysler, but that the corporation is well aware of it and negligently refuses to address the issues, the NHTSA rejected the CAS petition to investigate this problem. Proof is definitely not amiss, as a quick internet research will produce thousands upon thousands of reports of the same problem on the same car. This needs to be a recall URGENTLY, and not only after someone dies.

The contact owns 2013 Chrysler Town & Country. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle stalled without warning. The contact managed to coast the vehicle to the shoulder of the roadway and turn the ignition switch to the off position and waited for approximately 20 minutes before restarting the vehicle and the vehicle resumed normal functionality. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed however, the mechanic was unable to duplicate the issue. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure recurred. The vehicle was then taken to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed. The mechanic was unable to retrieve a fault code. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 114,200.

On occasion at least four different times in the past two months, my vehicle has completely shut off while I am driving it. In an instant, a warning comes on my dash that has a lightening bolt, the engine and all electrical/power shuts off, the wheel locks, and I am only able to brake. I have taken it to the dealership where they charged me $100 to find what the issue was, even though unsuccessful. They said because the vehicle showed no codes, they didn’t know the reason for the malfunction, and sent me home. I called Chrysler Recall and they said because there are no open recalls, they are unable to help me. When searching online, I see a lot of people have had this exact same issue but no one helps them fix it. Lawsuits have emerged. Accidents have happened. I have three small children who rely on me and my vehicle. It is completely unsafe for us to drive and for others around us on the road. No one will help diagnose or fix the problem. I need help fast! Please help me.

THE ELECTRICAL AND ENGINE SHUT OFF MORE THAN A DOZEN TIMES OVER SEVERAL MONTHS, SUMMER, FALL AND WINTER, WHILE I WAS DRIVING IN CITY TRAFFIC, WITH NO OTHER KNOWN CORRELATIONS. ALL ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS AND POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES ALSO CEASED TO FUNCTION. THIS NECESSITATED MY PLACING THE TRANSMISSION INTO NEUTRAL TO REENGAGE THE IGNITION, WHICH IMMEDIATELY RESTARTED THE ENGINE. . PERHAPS ALSO RELATED: AFTER OVERNIGHT, IMMEDIATELY AFTER ENGAGING THE IGNITION, STARTER AND BRIEFLY THE ENGINE, THE ENGINE SHUT OFF WHEN I RELEASED THE IGNITION SWITCH. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES IN A ROW. ONLY RECENTLY HAS THIS PROBLEM FIRST OCCURRED DUURINH THE SEVERAL YEARS WE HAVE HAD THE CAR. ONLY AFTER I ENGAGING THE GAS PEDAL WHILE ENGAGING THE IGNITION AND INCREASING THE RPMS DID THE ENGINE BEGIN TO FUNCTION NORMALLY. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL DAYS WHEN THE TEMPERATURE WAS ABOUT 30F.

WHILE DRIVING MY VAN, ESPECIALLY AT SPEEDS OF 20-30 MILES PER HOUR, SHUTS OFF , LEAVING ME WITH NO ELECTRIC BRAKES OR STEERING, NO ACCELERATION, NOTHING. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING INTERMITTENTLY FOR A COUPLE YEARS. THE MECHANICS AT AAA HAVE TROUBLE RECREATING THE PROBLEM. ABOUT 14 MONTHS AGO THEY REPLACED THE TIPM . THE ELECTRONIC ASPECTS OF THE VAN WERE HAYWIRE, DASH LIGHTS FLASHING, BORN BLARING ETC. THIS IS ALSO OCCURRING AGAIN BUT THE TIPM ISN'T THE ISSUE ACCORDING TO AAA. IT IS TERRIFYING TO DRIVE AND UNEXPECTEDLY HAVE THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. I HAVE DIMINISHED ABILITY TO SAFELY STEER AND BRAKE IN THESE INSTANCES. THIS HAPPENS WHEN GOING STRAIGHT AS WELL AS WHEN TURNING. THE HORN GOING CRAZY HAS HAPPENED WHEN THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF.

ON AUGUST 14 , 2019 MY VAN BROKE DOWN ON THE INTERSTATE. A FEW HOURS LATER MY CAR STARTED BACK UP. I CONTINUED TO DRIVE MY CAR UNTIL ABOUT 2 WEEKS LATER IT BROKE DOWN AGAIN ON THE INTERSTATE. SINCE THAT TIME I HAVE HAD OVER 10 BRAKE DOWNS THAT OCCURED INTERMITTENTLY WITHOUT ANY SORT OF PATTERN TO THE FREQUENCY OR SERVERITY. MY CAR STALLED WITHOUT WARNING AND SHUT DOWN WHILE IN MOTION. MY CAR LOSS POWER AND BECAME HARD TO STEER AND THE BRAKE ASSIST SHUT DOWN. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS, SOUNDS, OR VISUAL CUES TO INDICATE ANY SORT OF PROBLEMS. BECAUSE OF THIS SUDDEN SHUT DOWN IT HAS BECOME EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND ALARMING TO THE SAFETY OF MYSELF AND FAMILY TO DRIVE. AFTER THE FIRST TWO INCIDENTS I TOOK MY CAR TO THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP, AND PAID FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. THEY CONCLULED THAT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE STALLING CONDITIONS AND THEREFORE NO RESOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM WAS GIVEN. AFTER THE PROBLEM CONTINUED I TOOK MY CAR TO ANOTHER LOCAL REPAIR SHOP. THEY ADVISE ME OF SEVERAL POSSIBLE PROBLEMS BASED ON THE CHECK ENGINE CODE. I HAVE SPENT COUNTLESS OF HOURS AND MONEY TO FIND OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY VAN.

OIL FILTER HOUSING / OIL FILTER ADAPTER - OIL LEAK OIL LEAKS ONTO ENGINE DUE TO FAULTY DESIGN ON ALL 2011 - 2014 TOWN & COUNTRY MODELS. THE ONLY FIX IS REPLACEMENT OF THE ADAPTER HOUSING WHICH IS 4 HOURS LABOR AND ROUGHLY $150 PART FROM DEALER. DEALER WANTS OVER $700 AND CLAIMS THEY DO TWO OF THESE PER DAY. THIS PENSTAR 3.6L ENGINE IS USED ON ALL TOWN & COUNTRY, JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE, AND RAM 1500S.

MY ENGINE LIGHT KEEPS APPEARING AFTER ALMOST 3 YEARS OF OWNING THIS VEHICLE. IT USUALLY OCCURS WHEN I TURN ON THE HEATING SYSTEM AND HAVE ALREADY BEEN IN MOTION FOR AWHILE. TYPICALLY WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. THE LAST OCCURRENCE WAS CITY DRIVING BUT AGAIN WHEN THE HEATING SYSTEM WAS TURNED ON. I HAVE MY VEHICLE AT THE SHOP AGAIN AND THE MECHANIC IS SAYING IT IS SOMETHING REGARDING THE OIL. SOMETHING ABOUT A VACUUM. I ALSO ASSUME THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. WITHIN THE FIRST FEW DAYS OF OWNING MY VEHICLE IT WAS BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR 2 WEEKS. THE RADIO ALWAYS TURNS OFF ON IT'S OWN AND SOME OF THE DASH COMPONENTS. WHICH IT STILL DOES ALMOST 3 YEARS INTO OWNING THIS VEHICLE.

I WAS TOLD THAT MY VEHICLE HAD CYLINDER #2 MISFIRE AND GAVE THEM CODE P0302 ALONG WITH P0300. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS WOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY BY MY DEALER AS IT IS UNDER ORIGINAL POWERTRAIN WARRANTY AND ALSO CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF VEHICLES WITH THAT 3.6 PENSTAR ENGINE HAVING THOSE ISSUES WHICH EVENTUALLY CAUSE A HEAD MALFUNCTION. I WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED TO CHANGE MY SPARK PLUGS AND IGNITION COIL WHICH MAKE NO SENSE TO ME AS I WAS TOLD BY MY DEALER AND THE SERVICE MANUAL THAT SPARK PLUGS ARE TO BE CHANGED AT 100K MILES. I HAVE REACHED OUT TO CHRYSLER AT LEAST 2 TIMES A WEEK FOR THE LAST MONTH AND ALWAYS KEEP GETTING A PROMISED CALL BACK FROM A SUPERVISOR/MANAGER TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE BUT HAVE YET TO GET ANYONE TO EVER CALL ME BACK IN THE LAST 30+ DAYS.

MY 2013 CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY HAS AN EXHAUST LEAK. THE EXHAUST FUMES COME INTO THE CABIN AREA OF THE VEHICLE WHEN DRIVING. LINWOOD MOTORS IN PADUCAH, KY 42001 PHONE # 800-326-7604 HAVE WORKED ON THE VEHICLE SEVERAL TIMES. THE MECHANICS AT LINWOOD MOTORS CLAIM TO HAVE REPLACED THE EXHAUST SYSTEM TWICE, BUT IT STILL LEAKS. ON JULY 14, 2014 FOUND EXHAUST LEAKING INTO A/C VENTS & BLOWING INTO CAB. TECH REPLACED ENTIRE EXHAUST SYSTEM. TEST DROVE WITH CARBON DIOXIDE MONITOR FROM WALMART, WHICH WILL ONLY DETECT AT 30 PPM'S OR HIGHER. IF THE MONITOR HAD INDICATED THAT THERE WAS CARBON MONOXIDE IN THE CAB; A PERSON COULD ONLY BE EXPOSED TO HIS LEVEL FOR ONE HOUR BEFORE NEEDING TO BE REMOVED TO FRESH AIR! WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO US, IT STILL WAS LEAKING EXHAUST FUMES INTO THE CAB. WE MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO PUT THE VEHICLE BACK INTO THE SHOP AT LINWOOD MOTORS ON SEPTEMBER 8, 2014 AT 2 PM. WHEN MY WIFE AND I ARRIVED AT LINWOOD MOTORS RICK KUPPER AND KEVIN JONES REFUSED TO PUT THE 2013 CHRYSLER T&C INTO THE MAINTENANCE SHOP BECAUSE THEY HAD EXPENDED ALL THE RESOURCES THE COMPANY WOULD ALLOW. AFTER THE 2013 CHRYSLER T&C HAS SET IN MY YARD FOR 16 MONTHS CHRYSLER HAS FINALLY AGREED TO SETTLE AND BUYBACK THE VEHICLE. MY NEW CONCERN IS THAT CHRYSLER WILL PUT THE VEHICLE BACK ON THE MARKET AND SALE IT WITHOUT FIXING THE 2013 CHRYSLER T&C. MY WIFE HAD A STROKE ON JUNE 20, 2014 AND OUR DOCTORS ADVISED US TO QUIT DRIVING THE 2013 CHRYSLER T&C; BECAUSE MY WIFE'S DOCTOR BELIEVES THE EXHAUST LEAK CONTRIBUTED TO HER STROKE. I HAD TO PURCHASE ANOTHER VEHICLE TO DRIVE AND LOST INTEREST ON MY MONEY THAT I HAD TO USE FROM SAVINGS. CHRYSLER HAS MADE A BELIER OUT OF ME!!! I WILL NEVER OWN ANOTHER CHRYSLER VEHICLE AGAIN AS LONG I LIVE. THANKS CHRYSLER CORPORATION FOR YOUR TORTURE. END OF REPORT.

SECOND TIME AT DEALERSHIP, THEY THINK THEY FOUND THE PROBLEM AND PUT IN AN ENTIRE NEW WIRELESS IGNITION MODULE AND TWO NEW SETS OF KEYS, GO TO PICK IT UP TONIGHT ALL *FIXED* AND ITS DEAD...AGAIN...SAME AS BEFORE.. 7TH TIME IN TWO WEEKS, THIRD TIME AT CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP. CAR WILL NOT START, NO POWER, NO NOTHING, NO ATTEMPT. EVERYTHING IS TURNED OFF NIGHTLY, ALL INTERIOR LIGHTS, CABIN LIGHTS, RADIO, NOTHING PLUGGED IN LOCKED AND CHECKED AND DEAD IN THE MORNING. WHY MUST I KEEP GOING THROUGH THIS. HOW MANY TIMES AM I GOING TO BE STRANDED AND SIT AND WAIT HOURS TO BE TOWED AND GO THROUGH THIS OVER AND OVER AGAIN??? THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, WHAT IF NEXT TIME I AM STRANDED WITH MY YOUNG CHILDREN? BUT CHRYSLER CAN'T FIND ANYTHING/? *TR

THIS IS THE 5TH TIME IN LESS THAN TWO WEEKS!!! HOW MANY TIMES IS THIS GOING TO HAPPEN? IT HAS ALREADY BEEN TO CHRYSLER WHO SOMEHOW CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG!! ON ITS WAY GETTING TOWED AGAIN BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. 5 TIMES THE BATTERY HAS DIED FOR NO APPARENT CAUSE. OF COURSE I AM NOT OVER PARANOID AND GO THROUGH THE TROUBLE EVERY SINGLE TIME I AM DONE DRIVING TO TURN OFF THE INTERIOR LIGHTS, TURN OFF THE RADIO WAIT FOR EVERY SINGLE LIGHT TO TURN OFF AND TAKE PICTURES OF ALL LIGHTS OFF AND GUESS WHAT ...DEAD? BUT THE BATTERY TESTED FINE ACCORDING TO DEALERSHIP AND FOUND NOTHING ON THE SCANS. WHEN THEY JUMP IT, LASTS FOR LESS THAN 24 HOURS, WHEN THEY CHARGE IT, LASTS FOR 4 DAYS EACH TIME. WONT START, NO ELECTRICAL, NOTHING TURNS ON, FOB DON'T WORK....AWESOME! HOPE CHRYSLER IS ENJOYING FOOTING THIS BILL FOR TOWING, LABOR AND RENTALS EVERY TIME CAUSE I CERTAINLY AM NOT ENJOYING MISSING WORK, ENDANGERING THE WELFARE OF MY CHILDREN IN THE MIDDLE OF WINTER, BEING STRANDED AT HOSPICE AND EVERY MINUTE SO THEY CAN TELL ME THEY CAN'T FIND A PROBLEM!!!!! *TR

THE ENGINE, WITHOUT WARNING, WILL SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS HAPPENED APPROXIMATELY 5 TIMES SINCE OCTOBER 13, 2014. THERE IS NO WARNING THE ENGINE IS GETTING READY TO STALL, AND THE ONLY LIGHT ON THE DASH THAT COMES ON AFTER THE STALL IS THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT. AS CAR IS COASTING UNDER INERTIA, I AM ABLE TO SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL AND RESTART THE ENGINE WITH NO TROUBLE. THERE ARE NO ERROR CODES STORED IN THE VAN'S COMPUTER, PER MY LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAS BEEN UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND CANNOT FIGURE OUT A SOLUTION. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE, AS POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES ARE LOST ONCE THE ENGINE STALLS/SHUTS OFF. *TR

I WAS TRAVELING AT 20 MPH AND TURNED RIGHT ONTO ANOTHER STREET. IN MID-TURN, THE ENGINE CUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING AND ALL POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES FAILED. I NEARLY MISSED A CAR ON THE CORNER AS THE CAR TURNED. BECAUSE I WAS UNABLE TO BRAKE, I AM NOT SURE HOW THE VAN STOPPED WITHOUT ANY RESPONSE FROM THE BRAKES. ONCE I CAME TO A STOP, I PUT THE CAR BACK INTO PARK AND RESTARTED THE CAR. WE BOUGHT THIS CAR NEW ON 2/13/2013 AND HAVE NOT HAD THIS PROBLEM BEFORE. WE DO SEE REPORTS OF MANY CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY VANS AND DODGE CARAVANS REPORTING THIS PROBLEM GOING BACK TO 1996, WITH SOME RECALLS ALONG THE WAY. IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS AN OLD ISSUE THAT HAS NOT BEEN PROPERLY ADDRESSED BY CHRYSLER. *TR

MULTIPLE TIMES WINDSHIELD WIPERS BEGAN GOING AND WARNING LIGHTS FLASHED INSIDE THE CAR AND WINDOWS WENT DOWN WITH OUT BEING POWERED AND DOORS OPEN AND SHUT BY THEMSELVES. THREE TIMES THE CAR ENGINE SPONTANEOUSLY SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING LOSING POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. HAD IT TO MULTIPLE DEALERS - NO CODE ON THE COMPUTER SYSTEM SO NO ONE WOULD DO ANYTHING TO FIX IT. FREQUENT CONVERSATIONS WITH CUSTOMER SERVICE FOR CHRYSLER... NOTHING THEY CAN DO. WE'VE BEEN INSTRUCTED BY CHRYSLER TO KEEL A JOURNAL EVERY TIME OUR CAR SHUTS DOWN WHILE DRIVING... THAT'S THEIR SOLUTION. EVEN WITH THIS JOURNAL (ASSUMING MY FAMILY CONTINUES TO SURVIVE THE SHUT DOWNS WHERE WE LOSE CONTROL OF THE BRAKES AND STEERING WHILE MOVING DOWN THE ROAD) IF THERE IS NO CODE CHRYSLER WILL HAVE NO SOLUTION. *TR

MAY 27 I FLOORED THE ACCELERATOR TO PASS A SLOW TRUCK AT 57 MPH LET UP ON THE PEDAL BUT THE VAN CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE (THE VEHICLE HAD PREVIOUSLY HAD A TRANSMISSION SOFTWARE UPDATE SO I CHANGED THE ECON O BUTTON AND ALSO KICKED THE FOOT PEDAL) AT THIS TIME THE VEHICLE WAS SHOWING A MILE OR TWO FROM 80 MPH. AT WITCH TIME I HELD THE BRAKE AND PULLED OFF THE ROAD.THERE WAS A LARGE RED THROTTLE BODY LIGHT ON. WHEN I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF. I DECIDED TO WAIT AS THE BRAKES SMELLED VERY HOT. ON RESTARTING ALL NORMAL WARNING LIGHTS PLUS THIS LARGE RED T/B LIGHT WHILE CRANKING THE DEALER CHANGED THE FOOT PEDAL. ON JUNE 11 I FOLLOWED SEVERAL CARS LEAVING A PARKING LOT AT 35 MPH I LET UP ON THE GAS THE VAN CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE RED LIGHT ONCE MORE. I BRAKED AND PULLED OFF THE ROAD. ON RESTARTING THE ENGINE WENT TO 1800 RPM .. SHUT IT OFF FOR 4 TO 5 MIN RESTARTED LIGHT ON WHILE CRANKING THEN WENT OUT LIKE THE FIRST TIME AND DROVE NORMAL. THE THROTTLE BODY LIGHT COMES ON WHILE CRANKING (NOT NORMAL). THE DEALER SAID THEY CAN NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG AND WILL CALL CHRYSLER THEY HAVE HAD THE VAN FOR A WEEK NOW, AND DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIX IT. THE FAULT DID REMAIN ON THE COMPUTER FOR THEM. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN MY STREET, GOING AROUND 25 MPH, AND THE 1ST THING I NOTICED WAS THAT I HAD LOST THE POWER STEERING. THE KIDS WERE WATCHING A DVD, THAT STAYED ON ALONG WITH THE NORMAL INTERIOR LIGHTS HOWEVER WHEN I APPLIED PRESSURE TO THE GAS PEDAL TO ATTEMPT TO PULL OVER THE CAR WOULDN'T RESPOND TO THAT. I REALIZED THEN THAT THE ENGINE HAD SHUT OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING! THANKFULLY I WAS ABLE TO DRIFT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I PARKED, TURNED OFF THE VAN AND THEN RESTARTED IT. EVERYTHING CAME BACK ON AND WAS WORKING AGAIN. THE MECHANIC CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS AND CHRYSLER IS CLAIMING NO ONE HAS EVER REPORTED THIS PROBLEM BEFORE. A SIMPLE GOOGLE SEARCH PROVES THEM WRONG. *TT

RENTED A MINIVAN FROM AVIS AT SLC AIRPORT LATE JULY 2013. ON THE HIGHWAY IMMEDIATELY AFTER LEAVING THE AIRPORT MY KNEE BUMPED THE MASS OF KEYRING OBJECTS AND TURNED THE ENGINE OFF AS I WAS JUST GETTING UP TO 60MPH. I NOTICED THE VEHICLE SLOWING DOWN AND DETERMINED I HAD ACCIDENTALLY SHUT IT DOWN. IT WOULD NOT START. I SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL AND RESTARTED THE ENGINE, SHIFTED BACK TO DRIVE. ONLY ONE OF THE 5 PASSENGERS EVEN NOTICED THE SLOWDOWN. UNDER DIFFERENT CIRCUMSTANCES THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT. IF IT IS THE PRACTICE OF RENTAL COMPANIES TO BIND KEYS LIKE THIS THE PROBLEM COULD BE WIDESPREAD AND MAY HAVE RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT ALREADY, THUS THIS REPORT. GIVEN MY EXPERIENCE I BELIEVE THE PRACTICE OF BINDING ALL THE KEYS AND OTHER PLASTIC DOO-DAHS WITH A STIFF WIRE CABLE TO BE AN ACCIDENT IN THE WAITING. IN MY CASE THE SEAT WAS A LITTLE FORWARD AND I MOVED IT BACK A COUPLE OF INCHES TO AVOID HAVING THE KEYS DANCE ON MY KNEE AS WE DROVE. AT A STOP I CUT THE WIRE RING AND PUT ALL THE EXTRAS IN THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT AND CONTINUED THE TRIP WITH A SINGLE FOB-KEY. THE KEYS: I WAS GIVEN SET OF KEYS BOUND BY A WIRE CABLE. TWO FOBS, TWO SPARE KEYS (NORMALLY INSERTED IN THE FOBS) , THREE PLASTIC ADD-ONS (ONE HELD A PAPER SLIP IDENTIFYING THE VEHICLE, ONE AVIS CALL NUMBER AND ONE MACYS LOYALTY CARD) I HAVE NO ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE AS IT WORKED FINE, NOR WITH THE RENTAL COMPANY AS THEIR SERVICE WAS ALSO FINE. I DO TAKE ISSUE WITH THE PRACTICE OF BINDING THE KEYS WITH A WIRE CABLE THAT MUST BE CUT (LEATHER-MAN TOOL IN MY CASE) TO DRIVE SAFELY. I SUSPECT MOST RENTERS WILL NOT HAVE A TOOL HANDY NOR RISK THE WRATH OF THE RENTER IN CUTTING THE WIRE CABLE. NOTE I TOOK A FEW PICTURES OF THE KEY RING AND OBJECTS SHOULD IT BE USEFUL. TO AVIS CREDIT THEY WERE HAPPY TO HAVE ALL THE KEYS RETURNED AND WERE NOT CONCERNED I'D CUT THE CABLE. *TR

TOOK DELIVERY OF A BRAND NEW 2013 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY TOURING VAN WITH 4 MILES ON IT ON THURSDAY, JUNE 20, 2013. DROVE IT HOME APPROXIMATELY 10 MILES. TOOK IT OUT FOR THE FIRST RIDE ON SATURDAY JUNE 22, 2013 AND WHILE DRIVING, ENGINE FAILED WITHOUT WARNING AND I LOST ALL POWER TO VEHICLE. STARTED IT BACK UP AND VEHICLE DID THIS AGAIN. CONTINUED TO START UP AND SHUT DOWN WITHOUT WARNING ABOUT FOUR TIMES. CALLED ROAD SIDE ASSISTANCE AND CAR WAS TOWED BACK TO DEALERSHIP. SERVICE DEPARTMENT CAN NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. CORPORATE OFFICE IS OF NO HELP. WITHOUT FIXING THE PROBLEM, THIS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT CAN CAUSE A SERIOUS OR FATAL ACCIDENT AND CHRYSLER HAS NOT ADDRESSED THE PROBLEM. THEY DID RECALL THEIR PRIOR MODELS FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM - RECALL #72674.THE PROBLEM IS CONTINUING WITH THEIR NEWER MODELS BUT CHRYSLER DOES NOT SEEM INTERESTED. MEANWHILE, I HAVE A BRAND NEW VEHICLE SITTING AT THE DEALERSHIP LESS THAN A WEEK OLD THAT I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY FAMILY IN. THERE HAVE BEEN OVER 57 REPORTS IN THE CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY FORUM OF THIS EXACT PROBLEM - SOME INVOLVING ACCIDENTS WITH CHILDREN AS PASSENGERS. CHRYSLER IS SELLING UNSAFE VEHICLES PUTTING CHILDREN AT RISK OF SERIOUS HARM. I CAN PROVIDE THE NAMES OF ALL THE PEOPLE I SPOKE WITH AT CHRYSLER - THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE UNIT, AND THEIR TOP CARE UNIT - ALONG WITH ALL THOSE I AM DEALING WITH AT THE DEALERSHIP. I HAVE A MEETING WITH THE DEALERSHIP MONDAY, JULY 1ST. HOWEVER, UNLESS THE PROBLEM IS FIXED, THIS VEHICLE REMAINS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I HAVE PUT CHRYSLER ON NOTICE, THE DEALERSHIP AND NOW YOU, THAT THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE AND CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY TO THE PASSENGERS AND OTHER INNOCENT DRIVERS. PLEASE DO NOT WAIT FOR A FATALITY TO INVESTIGATE THIS. *TR
