Due to the failure, the contact had the vehicle towed to an independent mechanic where the vehicle was diagnosed with a defective module that needed to be replaced by the dealer. The manufacturer was contacted and the contact was informed that the original dealer would repair the vehicle for the failure. The contact then had the vehicle towed back to the same dealer where she was informed that the battery needed to be replaced. Once the battery was replaced, she was later informed that they would not perform a diagnostic due to the vehicle starting with a new battery. She was also informed that since the check engine warning light was not illuminated, the mechanic could not correctly diagnose the vehicle. The vehicle had yet to be repaired and remained in the possession of the dealer. The failure mileage was 98,000.

Sudden engine shutoff: the engine has started randomly shutting off at low speed, about 20 MPH, causing the power steering and brakes to be lost. There are no indicator lights, check engine light, or alarms at all that come on, except for the skid warring light. There are no engine codes recorded. It is very dangerous and cannot be reproduced to be repaired. It has happened several times now, twice in one day, but usually days apart.

Our 2009 t&c stalled in city traffic this morning without any warning when slowing down to below 20-30 MPH (with the traction control light briefly illuminating after the stall). It had stalled previously 3 separate times in similar situations when either my wife or son were driving the van. Of course when the engine dies there is no power steering or power brakes which makes handling the vehicle extremely difficult. The van immediately restarts when you turn the ignition key, but the cel does not light up so there are no codes in the computer to help diagnose the problem. This is a serious problem that lots of people are having. Just read the blogs on the internet. If the van stalls while making a turn and you can't brake or steer, then it's just a matter of time before a potentially serious accident occurs. As far as I know there are no open recalls on the van (ignition recall already taken care of). The weather was nice and streets were dry.

The problem started with my radio in my t & c van. The radio stop playing and then the engine light came on. The next morning my battery was died and my car would not start. Aaa jump started my battery and I took van to the dealer. The chrysler dealer reported problem was the internal failure to totally integrated power module. The power module is a very expensive part. Dec 18, 2014 dealer installed the power module. Same day radio stop playing. Next morning van would not start battery was died. Dec. 19 took van back and dealer and dealer report it was a shortage in the radio and the radio need to be replace. Which is another expensive part. Theses problems are happening in to many of t & c customers. Chrysler should put out a recall for this particulars parts.

While driving on the freeway, going uphill at about 55mph, my engine suddenly began revving and the van sped up, then, I was unable to get it to accelerate. I pushed the gas pedal, but it wasn't engaging the engine. The RPM's would go up, but there was no affect on the van speed. The terrain changed, so then I began going downhill and I continued trying to get the van to accelerate to avoid being rear-ended. Finally, the engine engaged and I was able to speed up. This happened one more time during that trip. It has happened a couple of other times since then, briefly, but yesterday, it happened, and I again, was nearly rear-ended, and I had to coast into a parking lot to get out of the way of traffic. (the "check engine" light has never come on while this was happening.) I went to a mechanic who then test-drove the van, but was "unable to duplicate the problem." I drove the van home and the problem happened throughout my trip (speeds ranging from 30-45 MPH.) it wasn't until I finally made it home and was parking the van in front of my house that the "check engine" light finally came on. I then took the van to a local auto parts store that will run codes after the engine light comes on. It gave a code for several possible causes, which included electrical issues. Unfortunately, the guy cleared the code, and I am not able to drive the van in order to see if the engine light will come back on. (he did, however, write down what the code could be an indication of - 4 different issues to choose from.) this is a very dangerous issue, and I have read of numerous other complaints similar to this. Please, look into this matter and do a recall of these vehicles before tragedy strikes!
