Fuel pump relay prematurely fails inside the total integrated power module (tipm) causing loss of control while driving. The fuel relay fuse is not replaceable as it is hard wired inside the tipm. The entire tipm unnecessarily needs replaced at great expense and labor of nearly $1,800 for what should be an inexpensive fuse. Other chrysler/ dodge/ jeep vehicles have been recalled and repaired for the same issue, but not the chrysler town & country minivans. The manufacturer and its dealerships is avoiding a recall so that this model 'ages out' and permanently disposed so that it doesn't have to do a recall.

My toddler children and I were stranded because my van completely shut down. I left the vehicle running to run in and get my children from daycare, only to return to a vehicle that had no electricity. My children and I were stuck all evening, away from home, while the vehicle was check out and eventually towed. After being towed, not only once but twice, and being without a vehicle since 11/8/2019 we finally find out the problem is the PCM, which has been an issue with these vans. This is major inconvenience for my family. With this being a re-occurring issue with this vehicle, chrysler should be taking care of this issue.

The transmission has know issues of slippage. This slippage caused me to roll backwards at an major intersection and almost cause a accident. This chrysler town and country has had hundreds of complaints in the last few years but this type of malfunction due to the slippage on the transmission could result in fatalities. This needs to be addressed this has went on the entire time we have owned the chrysler town and country now it just gets worse and worse by the day.
