2008 Braun Town & Country: multiple warning lights

Filed May 31, 2011 · Electrical · 61,957 miles · MO

I don't know any events LED to the failures. The van is used for family transportation by my wife. Its use is limited to roughly 12,000 miles of paved road driving per year. Something electrical is wrong. One day it won't start, the next day it starts but all the lights are on, the next day the airbag light is on, the next day the speedometer/tachometer/clock/temperature/fuel gauges don't work. There is no rhyme or reason to what works and when something will fail. It is in a chrysler dealership now for service. They are uncertain, but say it is "most likely" the integrated power module. They also say only a dealer can replace and reprogram the module. I will be certain to save the old parts.

In normal neighborhood driving, all dashboard warning lights lit up at the same time, the windshield wipers turned on, the speedometer and tachometer went to zero even though the engine was still running, and most disturbingly, my electric drivers side seat started moving forward and backward while I was attempting to turn and break. It almost caused an accident, but I was lucky. The system reset itself, and the same thing happened again, and again. It was too dangerous to drive. The vehicle was transported to the dealership who said it was a "frayed and chaffing" electrical harness. I had to replace it, even though they said there was nothing that I could have done to avoid the situation. I asked if there was anything I should do differently, and they said no it wasn't my fault. I asked if they should be inspecting anything else to make sure it doesn't happen again and they said that was a one time occurrence in the life of the car. I only have 39,000 miles on my van, and this was a very scary situation. If a less experienced driver was in the van, it could have caused a severe problem. When the driver seat started moving back and forth while I was driving and trying to break, it was disconcerting!

We have had multiple electrical problems with the vehicle since we have had it. Most have been related to the sliding doors not completely shutting and reopening as if there was something in the way. The dealer can not find anything wrong with the door sensors. The most recent issues have been much worse. One time while driving down the road, all of the dashboard lights started flashing, the key in the ignition alarm started beeping (while driving with the key in), the radio went to 12:00 then reset it back to the correct time. This lasted about 3 minutes, then it was all done and working fine. 3 times that we had stopped at traffic lights the car just stalled. But it was able to restart right away. One time the car would not start up at all for a few minutes, then it started on the fifth try. Just yesterday, we had to have the van towed, my wife was driving, she stopped at a light and the car stalled but it would not do anything at all. The doors did not unlock, thankfully hers was still unlocked. The hazards would not work, all the interior lights would not turn on. We had it towed the dealer, where it did eventually start. The dealer replaced a module for the electronic key 1 week ago, but the issues have occurred still.
