While driving on the highway all the warning lights came on and the vehicle died. Total loss of control. Pulled over on the side of road. I had no power, no emergency lights. After about 10 minutes I started the car and was able to drive home. The same problem persisted and I took it to the dealership to have the problem analyzed. The dealership was not able to find the problem and told me to take the vehicle home. Since the problem continued I returned to the dealership three more time and they still were not able to find the problem. The last time the vehicle was in the shop called the chrysler corporation and they called the dealership. The chrysler corporation was given the same story. I researched on the internet to attempt to find out if other owners had similar problems, there were several reported but their dealerships could not identify the problem either. I have not used the vehicle since the dealership checked it, several people have inquire about buying the vehicle but I am afraid to sell it and have them driving on a highway/freeway at 70mph and the vehicle stops and an accident happens. Can you help??????

On many different occasions, my 2010 chrysler town and country will shut off while driving. All of the warning lights illuminate on my dashboard, the power steering shuts off, and the engine shuts off. I must coast to the side of the road, without power steering, and turn the key to the off position. Then, I must restart the vehicle. It always restarts, but this happens about once every 2 weeks. After reading the recall details of the 2017 chrysler pacificas, the description of the problem matches the problems I am having. My mechanic has inspected my van, but he cannot diagnose any problem unless he, himself, experiences and witnesses the stalling occur. *the problem happens while in motion. It has happened slowly in a parking lot, and it has happened at 55 MPH on a highway.

While driving the vehicle, always under 40mph, the traction control light comes on, I lose power steering, the engine shuts down, all lights and radio is down. So far I have been able to put it in neutral and restart. This morning I hit a curb going around the round about taking my kids to school. This has been going on over a year. It doesn't matter if its cold or hot, raining or sunny. It will go a month with nothing and then in one day it will die 6 times. We have been to private mechanics we have been to two different chrysler dealers and they have checked the erg valve and the key fob, the ignition switch, they have check the battery, ran down all the electrical stuff, they had it for 2 days last week and couldn't figure it out. It's died on my 4 times this week. I have four kids and I'm always in the van and now I'm scared to drive it! We checked the VIN and there is no recall as we already did the vent window. But the recalls that are listed describe exactly what is happening. So chrysler knows and doesn't care! You cannot just recall certain batches when there are clearly other vehicles doing the same problem. What is chrysler prepared to do for a family when they are seriously injured in an accident because of their van! Can't trade it in. Don't have the money to take the loss, wtf are consumers supposed to do with these vans. We are the original owners of the 2010 t&c, I love this van but it scares me to death! I just want it fixed! I mean I love roller coasters too but if one kept going off the tracks I'm not [xxx] sure I wouldn't ride it or put my family on it. Please chrysler fix these cars!

All warning lights on dash board light up while driving. Wipers come on(won't shut off), if cruise control is on gears won't change. Happens on city street and highway. Purchased in 2014 has been checked 3 times. Temporary fix 2 times. Third time I was told the best guess would cost $1,000.00. Emphasized that this is a guess. When I stop the vehicle and take the key out and put it back in and restart the car it helps.

I was driving about 50 MPH on a straightaway (city street) when I noticed the speed reducing. Then, I noticed cruise control had turned off and the esp light turned on. Power steering then was gone and power brakes. I steered to the side of the road and turned off and restarted the car. All was fine after restarting. At the time of the car shutting down, all lights and the radio were working fine. Note: the previous recall of 14v373000 does not apply to this van as it was manufactured in august of 2010. My theory is that the ignition switch failure that was cited in the above stated recall applies to not just vehicles manufactured before june 2010 but applies to this vehicle, as well. This was the third incidence.
