For a few months now the van will sometimes not start, even if starting it back up immediately after just driving it. It has died in the middle of the road while driving with no steering capabilities, it hesitates when driving between 35-40 MPH. I never know if it's going to start back up after I shut it off, or when it's just going to decide to lock up and die while driving.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 chrysler town and country. While driving various speeds, the vehicle lost power. The vehicle was able to be restarted and the check engine indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to two local dealers: autonation chrysler dodge jeep ram north richland hills (7740 ne loop 820, fort worth, (817) 522-4981) and autonation chrysler dodge jeep ram north forth worth (11200 north freeway, forth worth, (817) 642-7894) to be diagnosed, but the failure could not be duplicated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 154,000. The VIN was not available.
While driving van completely shut off no power no motor no steering. Van continued to turn on an off lights turned on an off on there own. This happened multiple times had problem fixed just to completely died again same issues. This van has cost me alot in repairs and rentals an tows it is not safe for me to drive with my kids knowing it can shut off while driving with out warning at anytime .
Car loses power while diving. Lose engine power, brakes, power steering. Last instance was while driving 45 MPH.
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.
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.
Van will just shut off while driving. No warning, no lights. Have had the recall fixed twice but problem still hasn't stopped. Doesn't it doesn't matter if the van is cold or warm or what speed. It has done it on the freeway at 70mph. Dealer can not get it to duplicate the problem had if for 3 weeks in the shop. I can not keep driving this vehicle if no one can find what is wrong. Chrysler built the car why can't they find out what's wrong.

Engine stalls while driving, unable to steer as steering locks. Then difficult to restart. Doesn't happen any specific time. Been happening on multiple occasions.
On the driveng the traction control light come on the steering went out and brkes went out I can not control anything
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!
When driving, the engine switch turns off without warning while driving on a street. This is very dangerous. There is a recall with selected VIN numbers with this issue but not ours. The recall is chrysler recall r03 (formerly l25). We would like our VIN number to be added to the recall list.

First problem is the drivers side back door does not open. It stopped working electronically and manually as well as the window.

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.
Ever since chrysler issued a recall and replaced the ignition the car stalls while driving down the road. All power is lost and we have to pull over and hope the car starts. Usually it does however sometimes it requires a jump start. It's not a bad battery! I have had it tested and I continued to use the same battery to this day. Over a one year time I have logged probably 50 stall events. Moisture humidity seems to make it worse. Learned this when I moved from maine to tucson. But now it's stalling a lot here in tucson although it is monsoon season. The dealership said it was due to the weight of keys hanging from the ignition key, the problem is I bought the car new and have never had anything attached to the ignition key. I only carry the ignition key by itself. Nice try chrysler, but you are wrong. I need to state this stalling problem did not occur until chrysler issued a recall to prevent stalling instructing the dealership to replace the keys and ignition. Chrysler says it''s my problem I need to pay to fix, I say they created the problem and need to pay to fix. Maybe the ntsb should investigate! Didn't gm have a problem like this?
While driving, the engine cut out and I lost power to steering and brakes. The traction control light then came on when I finally pulled over. After resetting, the vehicle started and drove normally. If this happened on a busy road, serious injury would have occurred to the passengers in my vehicle and anyone else I would have struck due to loss of control.
