Transmission failure of the 62 te transmission. Transmission would not shift and went into limp mode with multiple sensor codes thrown. This occurred while driving on the express way, approximately traveling at 70mph during rush hour. Transmission required multiple hard part replacement. After rebuild transmission had hard shifting went into limp mode again after 3 days from shop, again while on express way. Codes p0792, p0732, p0735, p0721. Transmission required another rebuild this time after 1 day out of the shop transmission experienced hard shifting however this time would not up shift stayed in 1st gear. Transmission fluid is at the proper level for the transmission fluid temp per manufacture. Codes p0792, p0732 and p0735 is present. Replaced sensors and cleared codes replaced trans fluid. Trans worked would well for 6 miles while on a major state road, then while accelerating from a stop it would not up shift again and the same three codes are present.
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.
I own a 2010 chrysler town and country and for 3 months we have been living a nightmare. It powers down while we are driivng it, we lose steering and breaks. It has happened in the middle of intersections, with cars behind us, on hills and coasted backwards and with my children in the van with me. It has spent 3 months in and out of several garages. It has had numerous parts replaced, such as the battery, ABS module, and the PCM. Even after all these parts were replaced and we have spent quite a bit of money to have them fixed it still doens't run properly and shuts down while you are driving it. It is such a safety concern that we won't allow are children to ride in it. So I own $10,000 on a van that I cant take out of my driveway because it isn't safe to be on the road. I have contacted chrysler with my VIN number and they say there are no complaints about this vehicle currently and no recalls that haven't been satisfied. So I have a loan payment and an unsafe vehicle with no resolution anywhere in sight.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 chrysler town and country. While driving various speeds, the vehicle shut off without warning. The vehicle was restarted, but the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken to uftring chrysler dodge jeep ram (309‑340‑4594, located at 140 radio city dr, pekin, il 61554) for diagnostic testing. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that there was no recall. The contact was referred to the federal safety agency to file a complaint. The vehicle was not repaired.

Vehicle stalls while driving the car on city street and highway. No warning and it loses all power. Steering wheel locks and the only thing I can do is brake to stop the car. This has happened 3 times now with my kids in the car with me. Not safe at all and for some reason my VIN is not in the recall about this issue.
Engine shuts off while in motion in drive mode. This happens at any rate of speed, 70 MPH to 10 MPH, in good weather conditions, on the highway and local streets, driving straight or turning slightly. The ABS module tested bad 9 months ago and was replaced by auto electric specialists of houston. This did not solve the problem. I have not had the ECM replaced. My chrysler dealership cannot find the problem and has told me to keep driving and to bring the car in right away if the issue happens again. The car scares me!!! It has shut off three times now in the last year. I wonder if this is the same problem that has now been reported with the 2017 chrysler pacifica?
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 van it randomly shuts down the engine and it is very difficult to steer. You cannot accelerate out of the path of traffic. This is extremely dangerous!
The town and country have had known electrical issues but are currently no recalls. Driving down the road the vehicle will lose power to interior and exterior lights, AC/heat, radio, door locks, power windows, etc. The transmission will also throw itself into neutral. I have spoken to 3 auto shops in the last month and they have said they have seen this issue with town and country vans over the last year or so. My van currently has 137k miles on it.
Key fob will not release from ignition. Vehicle will start in any gear, without any brake applied

Vehicle randomly shuts off while driving. I was driving during the day,straight, on a city street. Vehicle turned of and I lost all breaks and power steering.

I have a 2010 chrysler town and country van. It has 70,000 miles on it which is less than the average 12,000/year. The transmission is dead and needs to be replaced. When it started dying I only had 11 miles notice. It had not given any warning prior to that. The warranty on the power train expired oct. 25, 2015 which means it only expired 10 months ago. This van was not abused. I only drove it back and forth 8 miles to work. While I was driving it it felt like it wanted to stall. It kept coming to a almost a complete stop. I took it to my mechanic who said the transmission was dead. Then chrysler made me tow it to one of their dealerships which they too said the transmission was dead.
Vehicle was stationary (parked), engine running, air conditioning on, no one in driver. Seat, occupied by seat belted adult passenger with arm rests down, for about 10 minutes. Vehicle was parked in a private parking lot with a slight incline, sloping down to & perpendicular to roadway. Passenger reached over & shut off the ignition & the vehicle immediately began to roll backwards towards roadway approximately 30 feet behind. Roadway is a 2 lane heavily traveled highway with typical speeds of 60 MPH, posted speed of 50 MPH. Passenger was facing eminent death & mayhem. Passenger quickly pushed the shifter but it could move no higher, & then grabbed steering wheel (power steering, no power) turning it. This caused the vehicle to turn, avoiding entering the roadway, & striking an unoccupied stationary (parked) vehicle; coming to a stop. The passenger believes that the vehicle should not have rolled backwards or in any other direction when the ignition was switched off.

The vehicle has intermittent problems with starting.. It will work fine and then you will be at the store etc and you turn the key and you hear a click but the motor will not turn over. You click the key back and forth and if you are lucky it will start after 10 to 20 times. Then you will go 2 or 3 weeks with no problems and then out of the blue you get into your car and bam it will click when you turn the key and not start. Sometimes it will not start for 10 or 15 minutes. Then all of a sudden it will start. This has been going on for 6-10 months. It is very scary to be stuck somewhere when this happens. I think the problem is the transmission range sensor. It is very expensive to fix and replace. Chrysler has a huge problem with this. Go on the blogs and that is all you hear about. Starting problem, starting problem, starting problem. This is a safety issue and needs to be addressed by chrysler. Everyones safety and pocket bock is being affected because of the poor engineering in the shift lever to the transmission. This is sometimes called a neutral safety switch but on the town and country it is called a transmission range sensor.

There is a service bulletin for this issue I have as far as the shift hardness, and there is another one for the noise, from the bearing.

While operating vehicle it simply shuts off. No warning lights etc come on. The vehicle was manufactured on june 8, 2010 in canada. Dealer says "no recalls" on vehicle yet the federal safety agency recall extends to vehicles produced to 6/17/10. Dealer could not duplicate issue and offers no assistance. Issue has only occurred shortly after starting car and is sporadic.
I am writing in regard to the wireless ignition module recall that affects my vehicle. I would like to lodge a complaint against the dealership: mcgrath auto 1616 51st st ne cedar rapids,ia52402 sales:(877) 226-0908 service:(888) 903-7864 parts:(888) 903-7864 this dealership has *not* fixed this defect within a reasonable amount of time. We have called this dealership regarding this recall in late june and on july 15. Each time we were told that the parts would have to be ordered and we would be contacted when they were in stock. My vehicle has started exhibiting the symptoms of the defect associated with this recall and has started shutting off while we are driving the vehicle. We called the dealership today (september 4) to state that we had a safety issue and needed the vehicle fixed immediately. The dealership said they had the parts but requested we leave the vehicle with them all day rather than the 'one hour to complete' the recall notice states. Since we live approximately 30 miles from the dealership I asked for a loaner vehicle if we were going to be without our vehicle for a day and was told no loaner vehicle was available. I then asked for the next available appointment and was told they couldn't get me in for a week. We now have an appointment on september 11 at 1pm. I am concerned that my vehicle is going to continue to exhibit this defect while driving and put my safety and the safety of my family in jeopardy. I am appalled by the lack of urgency this dealership has exhibited in dealing with this recall on my vehicle and I would like them to be reprimanded. Thank you, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
