My van has a failing TIPM and apparently this is a common thing with these vans. It causes the horn to sound, wipers to start even when the vehicle is parked with no one in it and the engine off. It also causes the vehicle to shut off the fuel pump causing the vehicle to shut off while driving. Chrysler is well aware of this and refuses to issue a recall, even though this is something that happens to many of their 2008 vehicles.
While driving, the ignition key moved from "on" to "accessory". The engine lost power and I had no power brakes nor power steering to stop. Very bad. I was on a city street at the time. This is the same problem, the recall r03 / the federal safety agency 14v‑373 addressed in 2015. The ignition module was replace at that time under the recall. The replacement failed. I'm presently having the module replaced again at a chrysler dealer. This time at my expense. Not sure what else to do.

I had a recall for the ignition key fixed by chrysler/ dodge and when I got it back I had fuzes popping and the sliding doors quit working, check engine light was on for 15 different electrical codes including ones for the dvd player. They checked to make sure there was no short or anything in the whole vehicle and there isnt. They could not find the issue. Now the whole vehicle has an electrical issue and fuzes keep popping for no reason.
The wires became lose and unraveled in my power sliding doors on both sides. Now the door do not work/open on their own the windows won't go down, heated seats do not work. And when I try to open the door and shut the door, all of my dash lights will turn on, windshield wipers will go on

Wiring running at both back doors get caught up in door track and break. This causes windows and doors electrical systems to malfunction. Speedometer is not working along with mileage. This kills battery requiring you to jump vehicle often. This has occurred in the past year, losing different things as time goes by.
The ABS control module is defective and the anti-lock system is not operating correctly. I have had to replace brake pads 3 times in the last two years. I took my van in for brake repair and the service tech (who had worked for chrysler previously) detected the issue and found the recall affecting the vehicle (the federal safety agency campaign # 09v351000). Fca has a technical service bulletin out on this issue and this is a recall out for this problem, affecting my make & model year but my VIN number does not apply to the recall. How can this be?
My driver's side low beam LED light will come on when the car is cranked but begins to flicker and will cut completely off within 5 minutes of cranking the van. It will sometimes come back on and go off again. Replacing the bulb is not correcting the problem.
My van is not starting right away as it usually does. Had I been on the road would have caused a accident. The throttle light is on at the start, first it was the oil light. Had some mechanics say fuel pump but then read it is a fuse issue with the throttle
Low beams driver's side won't work. Repair mechanic says it is a faulty tipm module shorting out and needing total replacement. Noticed significant number of owners with the same problem. Repairs costing close to $1000.oo. Where is the government recall?
All lights on gauge cluster are on and I don't have turn signals from the inside and no fuel registered no gears light up gauge cluster does not display any information
Car dashboard lights won't come on but the milage dose car won't start and it has two recall that was fixed I rent the car from carmart and they said I will need a new key fobik and it's gonna coast me 250 I only received one super glued key fobik I thought the battery was dead are something tried to take it apart and add new one only to see it was super glued shut and broke on the inside I had just done a oil was at autozone when it happened had to have it towed home
Tl* the contact owns a 2008 chrysler town and country. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle loss motive speed and stalled without warning.

When you switch to the start position you get a click but no start. If you repeat it enough times it eventually starts
The wireless switch wont start/turn over my van and I look up my van and it has a recall on it its a 08 chrysler town and country touring lx.
When driving in a parking lot of a grocery store, my van's cluster board started going haywire, illuminating all warning lights, turning wiper blades on without them being on, opening windows. Turned van off and waited a few minutes and everything was back to normal. Next day it did it again when driving down the road at 55 MPH. Took it to the mechanic and it did it for him. He believes it has to do with the wiring in sliding door, which does have a recall but not for my particular van. If my 2008 town and country could also catch fire at the wiring harness, it needs to be included in the recall. Either way, it is extremely unsafe to be driving at 55 MPH and have everything start to go haywire in your car. I'm afraid to drive it. This problem absolutely needs to be looked into and at the least, give the consumers a reason for it and a repair solution that doesn't cost them thousands of dollars to try and troubleshoot.
Tl* the contact owns a 2008 chrysler town and country.

Vehicle shuts off while driving, warning lights come on.
The vehicle was running in the highway. Check engine light goes on an the all panel lights began to flash make like a whisle noise and shut off. After a while it starts again but in about 2,000 meters do the same four times. We need to call a truck crane. I have read a lot of person with this issue, spent a lot of money replacing various pieces and remain with the same problem.
Chrysler is stating that the VIN number for my 2008 chrysler town and country does not have any recalls yet I've taken it to a dealer and the win which is the l25 recall does not exist for this van but that is the exact problem I am having
While driving on the road the motor dies as if I turned it off, so of course it's difficult to steer. I managed to get off to the side of the road. I decided to put it in neutral and try to start it. It started and off I went. Several days later the same thing happened so as I was coasting along, I just put it in neutral and was able to continue on. This has happened periodically over the past few years. Also, awhile ago, I pulled into my parking place at work and just as I was getting ready to turn the ignition off, everything went wild, horn honking, alarm going off, both front and back windshield wipers going full bore with the washer fluid spraying out! This continued for several minutes even though the key was out of the ignition! It finally stopped, all the washer fluid ran out! This has happened periodically over the past couple years. It happened a few months ago and wouldn't stop until we unhooked the battery. I'm told it is a faulty power module! That's crazy, never in my life has anything like this hypo me with a vehicle! I think chrysler should stand behind this faulty part. It could have caused me to have an accident but luckily has not! Can't really afford a new part or vehicle!
