We where driving in florida on vacation on june 12, 2017 when our 2009 chrysler town and country started to have electrical problems . The wipers wouldn't shut off until the wiper motor burned up , the drivers seat wouldn't stop moving forward and back , the windows wouldn't go down , AC went out , the entire dash board light up and all the lights stayed on , the speedometer was dead , the gas gauge was dead , the turn signals didn't work , the dvd players didn't work . We took it to a dealership and they couldn't find anything wrong with it . It then did it again and it went back to the same dealership and again they couldn't find anything . On the way home on I-95 it started again . When we got home we took it to a garage that deals with electrical problems and he found out it was a dvd player in the front that was making it go nuts . He disconnected it and its ok but now nothing works , like the 3 dvd players, the heated mirrors , the remote start . This issue needs to be fixed before some one gets killed on the highway .

I went out and started my van, the wipers turned on automatically so I thought maybe I had turned the handle somehow... So I turned it off and that's when everything went wrong. All the dash lights started flashing and cycling through start up checks and then saying everything is off ABS, airbags etc. The seat was even repositioning itself. I took out my phone and started recording this weird episode that I have never seen before. I bought this van 5 months ago and don't know of its history, but this is not something anyone should have to deal with. 3 days later my wife was driving down the road when this started happening to her, the difference was that she sits closer to steering wheel then I do and the seat was jerking her back and forth while driving and scared her. Thanks [xxx]. I bought this van because I wanted the stow and go seats and side curtain safety along with everything else. My van is a loaded limited edition with most available options. After looking around the internet it seems like the tipm or a loose connection could be the problem and that dealerships are pretty much a waste of time for help on this. Chrysler knows of the issues because it happens across their vehicles and have only fixed certain models. The fact that a cracked shorting wire in the power door or a loose connector could cause all this is to go wrong is just poor engineering.

While driving down the road, all dash warning lights came on & the speedometer & tachometer went to zero. This lasted 5 to 10 seconds. The car kept running, but startled me when it happened. It happened periodically but not with any predictable time frame. Due to this I can?t let my wife drive this vehicle since she might panic. Parking the van overnight resulted in a dead battery the next morning. At my expense the dealer diagnosed the problem & put on a new part to the tune of $708.22. I believe they replaced the tibn unit this occurred the beginning of january of this year (2015) and it happened numerous times. Updated 09/15/15*lj updated 01/27/16.

We just purchased this vehicle in april 2015, used with 98200 miles. After only roughly 3000 miles the vehicle started messing up. The wipers would come on for no reason and the dash would light up like a christmas tree. All the dash lights including the airbags, brakes, engine, ect. My fear is that if in a crash the airbags, brakes, and other safety equipment may not function as intended. After this happened a second time I called my local chrysler dealer and the service manager informed me of a recall on some models but mine wasn't included. How can chrysler recall some but not all these vehicles with the same problem. This should be considered a major safety defect and all should be repaired.

In dec 2013, was driving to park and ride. Multiple lights were displaying esp and traction. Whatever was going on it effected forward motion and seemed as if the vehicle was controlling itself to go forward while making grinding sounds. It cleared up as I continued to drive. I contacted dealer and parked until I, carefully/slowing drove it into service department. They called me at work and told me it was clkspring--steering angle/clockspring, part # 56046497ad and the costs about $800.00! I stated was it a powertrain issue and was told no. Now, february 2015, the same issue seems to be occurring. The traction light is flashing, esp light is lite. If I step out of the vehicle and close the doors, they lock on their own (that may be a separate issue, not sure).
