When I was driving my chrysler town and country going 15 to 35 MPH down the side streets the vehicle would just shut off with no warning. The check engine lighter didn't come on and the key didn't move in the ignition. I took it to the dealership where I purchased the vehicle and the fixed the problem after I paid $526.23. I was looking thru the recalls for this specific vehicle and sure enough that exact problem happened to enough vehicles they did a massive recall but my vehicle was made 2 months before the year they recalled the vehicles so they won't reimburse me. It doesn't make sense if the same thing happened to all those other year make and models and my van just so happened to have that same problem and was manufactured 2 monthes before the recall year! The recall numbers is l25.
Driving on freeway the check engine light came on and van shifted into 3rd gear without warning. Diagnosed with stuck valve and gear stuck in 3rd or 2nd year. Van wouldn't drive over 45 rpms had to exit freeway fast. Rpms acting sporadically from 0 to 5 dropping rapidly and increasing. My life was at risked due to fast traffic approaching. Semi's, cars and trucks headed towards me at 75 MPH.

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.
The van shuts down during speeds between 35-40 MPH. There are no warning or check engine lights, just the traction light comes on and the RPM gauge goes to zero. When the engine shut down there is no power steering or power brakes. Today when the van shut off I was able to shift the vehicle into neutral, and start it, but 20 seconds later it shut down again. I attempted one more time and it started. I quickly shifted into drive to avoid being struck by another vehicle. The van has 165,000 miles. This started happening about 2 weeks ago and is intermittent. My wife and kids aren't able to drive this van due to this safety issue.

Driving down the road and the car shuts off, check engine light comes on, esp light comes on. My car shuts down on both street and highway and in motion.
On multiple occasions over the last almost 3 years we've had issues with our vehicle dying when stopped or parked. It began in december 2014. We purchased the vehicle in august 2014. While driving to florida from michigan our check engine light came on. Then it turned off so we figured that the bulb was loose or something and we'd get it checked when we got back from vacation. On the way back the same thing happened with the check engine light coming on, going off but then it came back on and didn't turn off. Then the vehicle starts dying when we're stopped or parked. We're obviously concerned! I had to get an oil change after driving that far anyway so I brought it in. The said that the code was for a misfiring piston and I needed to take it into the shop right away. So I immediately drive it over to the dealership shop. They have it for a few days and tell me that nothing is wrong, the vehicle just needs a tune up and new wires, even though it doesn't even have 90k miles on it. They were going to charge us $700. We had my husband's cousin do it instead because he is a mechanic and doesn't charge us for labor. The problem doesn't go away. They tell us the cam shaft sensor is bad. We replace it. Doesn't fix it. They tell us the crank sensor is bad. We replace it. And on and on our goes with us replacing things and the dealership being unable to recreate the issue. For the years we've been dealing with that and a vehicle that cannot smoothly accelerate. It is impossible to quickly get up to speed and merge onto the highest because the vehicle bucks and shakes if you try to accelerate quickly to get up to speed. Then the check engine light flashes, traction control light comes on and a bell starts to ding until we pull over, shut off the vehicle and restart it. Nobody can tell us what is wrong and when the codes are scanned it doesn't match any code that chrysler has.
Windows on both drivers side and passenger side, throughout the vehicle will cease to function. The side mirrors will also not function. When you try, they don't work and also light up the dash board lights ( low tire, check engine, etc. All idiot lights. This can all be going on in all modes. Parked driving day or night. It all started on the date below. It still exists to this day
