2006 chrysler town country. Vehicle uses approximately 1 quart of oil every 2,000 miles. This has been doing this since vehicle was purchased new. Was told by dealer normal oil consumption. Oil usage is through exhaust system that causes damage to catalytic convertor that restricted exhaust gas flow. Vehicle restricted exhaust gas flow caused engine power loss sufficient enough not to be able to maneuvers roadway grades. Vehicle not being able to maintain posted speed limit caused vehicles behind to pass that almost caused head on accident. Catalytic convertor was replace at owners expense for safety reasons. Was told by dealer vehicle is more than 10 years old and out of warranty.

My vehicle went from 70 miles per hour quickly down to zero, on the highway. The engine completely shut off, while I was going 70. I was able to pull over and turn off the engine. When I restarted the car, it seemed fine. This was frightening and very inopportune. It was about 50 degrees outside at the time.

My son hit a 2000 pound cow at 40 MPH. It was standing in the road after a curve. He never had time to hit the break but stopped instantly. It hit head on and then flew up into the windshield. The front end caved in and the radiator was bent into the engine. The van is a total loss. The airbag never deployed. We checked on line and other years around our van had a recall but not ours. I reported it to chrysler but they said airbags don't go off when you 'drive through an animal'. I've known people who have hit deer with less damage and their airbags did go off.

The vehicle will stall after filling the fuel tank, usually within the first quarter mile. It will stall one or two times, requiring a restart, often in the middle of an intersection or pulling into traffic. This happens nearly every time the fuel tank is filled. There are many online forums that attest to how common this problem is in dodge caravan, chrysler town and country, and jeep models.

Right after filling up her 2006 town and country with gas, my daughter and 2 small children pulled out of the gas station into a busy intersection and the van sputtered and stalled out right in a busy intersection. The van did restart and thank god no one was hurt or killed. Then 2 min. Later it stalled again. It started again and was able to get it home. I am her father and have some background in auto mechanics. I did some checking and it seems there is some problems with the charcoal canister on the fuel tanks that are the problem with these vans. Sounds to me like there should be a recall for this problem before someone gets killed. I know if my daughter and granddaughters get hurt or worse, I will sue the pants off chrysler.

Vehicle engine completely failed. Frozen, never to turn again. Oil levels were fine, oil change religiously. Engine burned oil like crazy, but I was aware so I was on top of it. Outcome: new engine at the cost of $4000. Failure was: a piston bearing that just fell apart. Engines do not fail at 79k unless they are poorly built. Chrysler should reimburse.
