It just went out while driving on ford rd in michigan while turning in the turning lane.
Ok about 2 years I been having problems with the key ignition turning off and on dont want to go . They had sent me info about recall on credit carma a year ago and they never help me. The van is still doing that.
The vehicle shuts off while driving very unsafe. You loose all control of the vehicle when it shuts off steering and brakes
At any random time while driving the electronic stability control light comes on, car engine fails, breaks and steering lock up and your just stuck where ever you happen to be. Turn car completely off wait a few minutes turn back on and car sometimes will run fine for days and sometimes immediately do the same thing all over again! This is very dangerous for a family vehicle, had happened on the highway, in the middle of intersections and in heavy traffic! There's no warning or no way of knowing when it will happen. Multiple cars just like my chrysler town and country have this same exact issue and nothing is being done to fix it!
The car dies when coming to stop. Intermittent car can not restart, there is no electric power to restart car, totally no electric can not even turn on hazard lights. Was struck in middle lane with cars coming on 55 MPH road. Very dangerous. Could of been killed.
I was driving down navajo boulevard a main road in holbrook arizona a vehicle coming from a side road pulled in front of me and I had to slam on the brakes to avoid a collision. I then proceeded down navajo boulevard and quickly realized that I had no power no steering, no brakes, nothing although the engine was still running. I was able to proceed down the road and turn onto a side road to the side until it completely quit running and was able to stop on its own.
My car stops while driving down the road without warning, easily restarts after shifting into neutral. However, RPM goes to zero, lose power steering. Did not have this issue prior to key fob recall. It has done this several times, usually when weather is colder like 30 degree. Have also notice blind spot aid system will periodically not function. Heated seat light occasionally do not function. The blind spot and heated seats are minor compared to car stopping dead. It did recently while going around a curve and was very scary. I've taken it to two different dealers and they state there are no engine codes showing. I told my husband if I die in a vehicle crash, especially if rear ended or while turning to sue chrysler. Do not have this problem in warm weather. I'm afraid to have anyone in my vehicle, especially my five grandkids. I stay off interstates because of this, and have spent more time looking behind me for possibly getting rear ended. There is no warning when this might happen. One dealership told me to bring it in when it happens, which I have no idea when it will happen. Its like playing russian roulette while getting behind the wheel. This can happen anytime, driving 55, 35, 25 MPH, while going straight, or twice while turning. I think it has to do with the electrical system, or perhaps the ignition system and key fob recall. My car has 84330 miles. It's happened three times in the last two months. Frequency seems to be getting greater.
Se enciende el panel marcando ABS. Tambin se abre las puertas coredisa y el bal estando el caro parado. Hay veces que se queda pegado y tengo que esperar que el sistema quiera para poder cerrar las puertas y / el bal. Me a pasado varias veces.
The vehicle was in park and running in a parking lot. The van had been running and in motion for approximately 10 minutes prior to arriving at the parking lot where it was then placed into park and left running while waiting for my kids to get out of school. Radio on, heat on then with no warning at all the vehicle shut off, lost all power. I was unable to remove the key from the ignition. It would not go into the off position allowing me to remove the key. I tried to turn the key to the various positions to start the car and nothing happened. Auto locks would not unlock, the car was completely dead. I sat for about 5 minutes in a panic trying to figure out how cars I was blocking were going to get out of their parking spots. Then the van suddenly started up on its own. My hands were not on the keys, nowhere near the ignition and it just started up. What would have happened if this occurred while I was driving and in motion and even worse traveling at a high speed???? There should be a recall on this issue as it is a major safety concern. The vehicle did receive the recall fix for the issue with ignition a couple years back and now I wonder if that was even the real issue since my van randomly shut off on me for no reason at all whatsoever. I don't know if there are any other official reports but a google search pulls up many others having the same issue this year with various years of the town and country and the reports are recent.
