Stuck in gear or won't shift by model year
What owners say
Random stalling while driving and also while in park idling. Different systems are effected. Speedometer cuts out then a ding and it comes back. Also the indicators that tell you a car is next to you stay on. The information center stops working. Ac stops blowing then comes back. Radio does the same. When it stalls sometimes you have no power as if the battery has been disconnected. Then power comes back after while and you can start the van. The transmission sometimes will not shift. The charging system light, traction control light, ABS light come on and the millage flickers dimly. A lot of strange things happening. The chrysler dealer has replace the alternator saying it was causing high voltage. Did not fix the problem. Next they replaced the ABS module saying it was shorting out. Did not fix the problem. I am bring it back to them. I suspect that the tipm is the issue. I am a retired ase certified technician in engine performance, steering and suspension, breaks and electrical.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 chrysler town and country. The contact stated that while driving approximately 65 MPH with the cruise control activated, the instrument panel began to malfunction and the engine stalled. The vehicle restarted independently but the failure recurred multiple times. The contact stated that the ABS, brake and traction control warning lights had illuminated intermittently while driving and the radio would shut off or the transmission would become stuck in gear. The vehicle had been taken to an independent mechanic for a diagnosis of the failure. The mechanic stated that there was electrical failure present but was unable to diagnose the exact cause or origin. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the approximate failure mileage was 51,000.
Pavement was wet and went to stop quickly. Abs was enabled for a few seconds then the system shorted, leaving only standard brakes. The ABS light, traction control and engine lights came one. The ABS system would no longer function. Traction control would not function. This was very evident on ice. Speedometer would not read out. The speedometer would be at zero then when driven the vehicle would ding about every 5 minutes and speedometer would go up and down to zero again. The engine and transmission would not shift correctly. It would always seem to drive in a higher gear. The odometer would no longer function. The electric van doors would not work when the vehicle was running. They would work when vehicle was off. Took van to dealer for repair. The ABS control module was faulty and had corrosion on the connections which needed to be replaced. The van was absolutely worthless until this was replaced which cost $850.
October 1, 2012 started with dead battery. After picking up "fixed" vehicle after two weeks and attempting to drive off lot, the van would not go out of park. After playing with it, it finally went into gear. Check engine light came on. Returned van - it would not go into park. Now december 13. Van still in repair. Have replaced tipm twice and PCM. $1,600. Chrysler says they have never heard of such a problem before.
