Since purchase, the vehicle has had multiple erratic no starts, caution lights illuminate, wipers activate, horn sound off, and an array of other electrical bugs. After taking the vehicle to the dealership multiple times with could not duplicate actions, I was told that the floor mat was sticking under the pedal contacting a sensor causing the no start issues, which is documented on their service report. Since then, we have dealt with the issues as they were sporadic. Now, the no start condition has LED to the replacement of the tipm unit as well as 2 fuel pumps. It was towed today for the same faulty conditions that LED to the expensive repairs. While we have had issues with intermittent electrical bugs while moving, the majority of our issues have involved no movement as the most common issue is the no start condition. My vehicle has been in the shop the last 3 weeks, required two tows, and is continuously burning up fuel pumps. Chrysler has not modified/re-engineered their tipm unit according to the dealership as the part number has never changed. I am concerned that I have another faulty tipm module causing damage to my vehicle, which has decreased the reliability. All of my receipts are in the glove box of the vehicle which is sitting at the dealership, so I cannot upload the documents showing the repairs right now.

Page 6 of 34: complaints 131 to 160 of 978, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Car turns off completely randomly at a low speed while driving. Turns back on. Its very dangerous. It has happened on streets as while as on the freeway. Not safe while driving, especially with children in the car. I did some research and this happens a lot with this particular vehicle. I have taking it into the dealership 3 or 4 times now. Some people say that the egr valve is the problem. I feel like this needs to be addressed before someone is injured or killed in accident due to this defect.
Vehicle 'completely' shuts off while driving, and you have no control. It has occurred twice in this month (1/5/19 & 1/10/19), and both times it has created an extremely dangerous condition, for each time I was driving on city streets. Each time it has happened at low speeds. The motor also has a constant jerking feeling at lower speeds.
Shuts down randomly while driving and loses power steering, difficult to stop. Occurs in any condition or speed. Sometimes traction control warning light comes on right beforehand. Inability to control vehicle after engine shutdown. Has occurred when driving straight and when turning. Has occurred at low speed and high speed. Has occurred on city streets and highways. I just chose one date but it has happened numerous times. There have been multiple near misses of crashing or being hit while vehicle.
My van was inspected by our mechanic for an ignition switch issue, where the ignition switch moves into the accessory position when driving, stays in the "on" position after the key is shut off and the key fob is removed and at times will not allow the key fob to turn into the "on" or "accessory" position. When this happens, the vehicle is still drivable, but various features, like air conditioning, back up camera, radio, etc are not available. Not sure what all features are available, like airbag. Our mechanic has seen this issue reported by other 2010 chrysler town & country 3.8l touring and dodge caravan owners and has been informed that they were eligible for the l25 recall. When I contacted the dealer that I purchased my 2010 van from new, they told me that my van was not included in the l25 recall. Need to have this issued reviewed again, since my 2010 van is having the same issue that has been reported for other vins.

It began with the front wipers coming on (as if it was raining) on a sunny day.. And the switch wouldn't shut it off. Have to pull the fuse to get them to stop. Then this progressed into not cranking, as if dead battery. I believe my problem is in the keyless switch.. As the battery is new, and I've had both battery and alternator checked. Both ok!

Several attempts to start. The windows make clicking noise and "gear malfunction" type noise when attempting to open or close windows. When letting go of the window button the noise "grinds". When opening the back hatch using the button, some of the other windows make the same 'grinding' type noise. This only occurs when vehicle is stationary. This has been happening for about 6 months.
Stalling problems: vehicle stalls out at stop lights and coming to stops in traffic on highway. The vehicle would re-started after putting in neutral. The car has stalled when slowing down and making left hand turns. This is very dangerous crossing through the intersection and not knowing if your vehicle will stall out or not. It is becoming more frequent, it happened 5 times on the one trip. I thought I purchased a really good used vehicle, and I think someone just passed on their problems to me. My husband's friend replaced the egr and it stopped doing it for a few days and then started stalling again. So I parked it for a few weeks. This past friday I took to the mechanic. The mechanic road tested vehicle with scan tool, performed data scan. No codes present/active or stored. They performed complete fuel injection/combustion chamber fuel service. Cleaned throttle plate area. Cleaned combustion chamber. Added fuel system cleaner to fuel tank to clean fuel injectors. Replaced spark plug wires and all spark plugs, erased memory, then re-test drove with scan tool, ok at that time. They advised us that they were unable to duplicate the stalling concern at that time. On saturday I picked up and it hesitated when going through the intersection, but otherwise seemed ok. On sunday stalled out at the two red lights in town, but restarted ok. Then after driving on the highway for a half hour, at the exit it stalled at stop sign and did not want to restart - 3 tries before I could get it going. So displeased with this vehicle, and I am worried about driving my daughter and nieces around in it! I wish someone would just tell us what is wrong so we can get it fixed.
