I purchased a 2000 chrysler town & country new from a chrysler dealer in wi. During the month of october 2012, the car it suddenly stalled out while in motion on the highway with no prior warning. While coasting I was able put the van in neutral and restart it. Over the course of various trips at varying speeds the van stalled several more times while in motion. The problem was so sporadic that it would go away for a few days and randomly returned. The car does not give any signs prior to stalling such as sputtering. The van even stalls while going straight or through curves and turns leaving the driver to muscle the car safely to a stop before having to restart it. An independent mechanic who stated the problem hasn't thrown a code for them to diagnose and they were unsuccessful in getting the car to stall out for them during test drives. From the complaints that I've seen it appears that the stalling problems are occurring on town&country models ranging from 1997-2007 and is affecting both the 3.3ltr engine as well as the 3.8ltr engine. It seems that this problem is common enough among owners. Has there been any resolution to this issue that anyone is aware of>

I purchased a 2000 chrysler town & country in july 2007 from a chrysler dealer in nj. Several weeks after purchasing the car it suddenly stalled out while in motion on the highway with no prior warning. While coasting I was able put the van in neutral and restart it. Over the course of the trip the van stalled several more times while in motion. After several weeks of sporadic stalling I called the dealer that sold us the car and explain the problem. They stated that the car was sold with no warranty and that there was nothing that they would do for the vehicle. The problem was so sporadic that it would go away for a few months and randomly returned. The car does not give any signs prior to stalling such a sputtering. The van even stalls while going through curves and turns leaving the driver to muscle the car safely to a stop before having to restart it. There have been several occasions where my wife had been driving around a curve and it stalled out and she almost went off the road because she barely had the muscle to control the steering wheel and brakes. I have taken it to a local dealer but they said that the problem hasn't thrown a code for them to diagnose and they were unsuccessful in getting the car to stall out for them during test drives. The dealer had recommendations for fixing the car which included replacing the alternator, wiring harness to the alternator, battery, ignition module, plugs & wires and various sensors, none of which has fixed the problem. I did a search online and found a discussion forum where it appears that the problem that I have is very common amongst owners. Some of these owners had spent much more money at their dealers until their mechanics eventually gave up. From the complaints that I've seen it appears that the stalling problems are occurring on town&country models ranging from 1997-2007 and is affecting both the 3.3ltr engine as well as the 3.8ltr engine. It seems that this problem is common enough among owners.

I have a 2000 chrysler town and country van with rusting strut towers. The drivers side has more than the passengers side. The drivers side is about to push through and go into the hood. I asked my dealer about any safety recalls or modifications, they said no. I have seen the chrysler service letter and asked my dealer about it and they said that the work should be done when working in that area under warranty to in stall the chrysler update kit. I had my struts replaced back in 11/2004 and asked about the rust and loss of metal then and they said it would not be warranty. I have also been told by a former service advisor at that dealer that they have performed this work under warranty or policy. This is a serious safety concern, the mini van is a family vehicle which my wife and kids ride in daily. I am one person and I need help with the large carmaker please. I have not had any injuries yet but please help me before I do.
