2010 chrysler town and country will click once, but will not turn over. This issue typically happens when the vehicle has been running for a while, and the engine is hot, or during hotter months. This causes car to not turn on when hot, not over heated, just hot. This has been noted on many other websites for this same year and people believe it has something to do with the transmission sensor not knowing if the car is in park or drive. This has happened to other years causing vehicle to slip into other gears. This could be considered dangerous. This has been occurring on vehicle since three months after purchase from dealer with no check engine lights coming on or any running issues.

Confirmed the power door was staying open, then unloaded my bags. Closed door and locked van with keyfob (can see this on security camera footage). Ten hours later, the locked hatch opened on its own and within ten minutes the back of the van was smoking, then engulfed in flames. Entire van burned down, starting at back passenger side.

My van will cut off while driving down road no warning just shuts off and you loose your breaks and steering it happens every time I drive it has to be an issue I have seen that it is on recall for other models I have had to park my van because it is a danger to drive something has to be done and power seats blows fuse every time I put new fuse in hit the driver side power seats blows instantly
The back side rear window caught on fire. This was suppose to have been replaced in a recall at naples dodge chrysler. I took the van in after waiting a year for the part to come in. Now it has caught in fire and burned van inside and out, while parked in the driveway. Which makes me wonder if they ever really did the replacement in it. Please contact me at [xxx] or [xxx]. Sincerely, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
The car starts to power down and makes the power steering stop working. The traction control symbol shows up after it starts to power down. It has happened three times in the past two weeks about 2-3 minutes from home while the car is in motion. One of the times was while I was turning left with oncoming cars. The car has to be restarted. This is very dangerous and should be a recall as so many others have experienced the same thing.
Driving along and all of a sudden the car turned off, steering became tight, and steering wheel locked. After checking into the situation, the ignition key was in the off position, upon trying to restart the engine it says bad key and vehicle would not start, wheel wouldn't turn and vehicle was disabled.

Numerous times, the vehicle, in a parked state, fails to start; after the key is put in the ignition and turned fully to the normal starting position.
My exact year make and model of van had a recall for the 'win module' because of ignition problems. Because my VIN number didn't fall into 'those affected' by the faulty win module, they will not take care of it. The van will fail to turn over or start completely or will start and then shut off leaving my family stranded. Chrysler is this exact issue with the same other vans included in the recall and needs to include the others affected by it. I've personally replaced the alternator, battery, and key fob and have come to realize it's the win module that was recalled for these same exact issues on other vans.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 chrysler town and country. The contact stated that the vehicle did not start and the doors would not open with the key fob. The contact towed the vehicle to an independent mechanic. The vehicle remained in the lot for a few minutes and then it started up right away. The contact stated that the failure also occurred in 2016. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 106,000.
Power to the vehicle is lost while driving on the highway. Total loss no control. Appears that the wireless ignition mode is defective.
Will not start. Multiple problems. Recall already issued for other years/models. Need to expand recall!!! Neutral safety switch or a transmission gear indicator is bad, car just clicks when key is turned. Very expensive so far to diagnose. It was not the starter. Maybe the starter for some people. A recall needs to be done to cover all the problems with the ignition switch!!!
Rear A/C went bad. The element in rear of vehicle does not have a protective cover to prevent water damage. Very expensive fix. Please issue recall!!!!
My vehicle starts trembling and shuts down all of the sudden, all the time while I am driving slow or fast. It stops sometimes in the middle of the highway. I have three kids and this is our only way of transportation. I am truly concerned for our safety.
Van will switch off while driving down the road causing power steering, power brakes, and airbags to shut off. This happens intermittently. My van is a 2010 but for some reason not covered under a chrysler recall to replace the win module. I currently have van at chrysler dealer and having repair completed on my own dime. This recall should be extended to cover all chrysler vans manufactured in the 2010 model year. The key fob will be in the ignition but the ignition switch is faulty and switches the motor off. Van will restart if you put it in neutral and turn the switch back on. Very unsafe.*dt consumer stated at this point this repair seems to have fixed the problem.
The tipm in my 2010 t&c has a faulty fuel pump relay I have come to believe and after finding a petition was denied I am looking for resolutions . These car manufactures build vehicles as cheap as they can and dont care for public safety just profits if you make a mistake own up to it and fix it ! Male a better product and people will buy it gladly if its a good vehicle . Chrysler needs to recall the relay in town and countrys vans! My van does not want to start after sitting has not happened while driving thank god
My car stereo keeps going on and off, hardly ever stays on long enough to listen or watch anything longer than maybe 5 mins. Periodically more often than not. It's an everyday problem.
Last night our van just shut down driving down the road so I had no power steering or brakes. Looking into the problem on the internet I discover that this is a common problem with the town and country. And this isn't the first time this has happened to us. It always happens in motion. This is probably the third or fourth time it has happened. Checked the VIN for any recalls and had no recalls come up. Now I'm furious that chrysler does not want help anyone with the problem. This is my wife's main vehicle and hauls our 3 kids in it. It is only a matter of time before someone is killed. I have owned several chrysler vehicles over the years. I financially can't go buy another brand of vehicle at the drop of a hat, but I will get rid of this problem as soon as I can and go out of my way to discourage anyone from buying chrysler. I don't care if they go out of business. Obviously the people at chrysler don't drive their own product or this wouldn't be an issue anymore.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 chrysler town and country. While the vehicle was parked outside of the garage, it failed to start when the key was turned in the ignition. The contact was able to start the ignition within five minutes. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The contact changed the battery and took the vehicle to sam leman chrysler jeep dodge ram bloomington (located at 1602 commerce pkwy, bloomington, il 61704, (309) 316-0591) . The dealer was unable to duplicate the failure. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was 45,000.
While stationary (parked), vehicle starts on own and electric doors open. While in motion, vehicle shuts off.
Vehicle started fine, was driven for 25 minutes. Sat for about 20 minutes then would not crank when trying to start. Everything had power, no dimming of lights when turning key in ignition. The starter simply made no sound/attempt at all. These symptoms are consistent with l25 recall in other 2010 chrysler town and countries.
