2012 Chrysler Town and Country transmission problems

Filed Jul 29, 2026 · Electrical, Transmission · MA

The ignition switch AKA WIN MODULE has to be broken, making it extremely dangerous to drive my vehicle. Any time I go over a bump or the key wiggles slightly the car will turn right off and I lose full control over the car. I have to find a safe place to pull over and restart the car by taking the key out and putting the key back in. The part where the key goes in is very very loose. This puts myself and my kids at risk especially driving on the highway! Whenever this happens I would have to find a way to come to a complete stop in which the brakes start skipping because of the malfunction. After research , I have found that there was a recall with the other Chrysler town and counties from year 2008-2010. I’m not surprised that this is now happening with my vehicle . This is extremely dangerous.

Couldn't reverse vehicle after buying the vehicle three days ago. My safety and my passengers safety wasn't safe I almost got hit from the front and back trying to reverse the vehicle to go. I can put the vehicle in any other gear and it works but the reverse. i called the vehicle repair shop and bring it in to the shop where I was told they were going to work on the vehicle for free since I only had it for three days. I paid for the warranty part and everything. This the second car I bought from Fett's city motors that been dangerous to operate on roads and highways.

While taking turns or going over bumps/ potholes the vehicle will turn off and need to be restarted. All systems shut down including power steering, dash, and engine. The driver and occupants are put in life threatening danger due to the total shutdown of the vehicle and all of its accessories. The vehicle has not been taken to a dealer or service center but instead a independent auto mechanic. Through their research they found there was similar recalls on Mopar vehicles on earlier year models. The vehicle has NOT been inspected by manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others. There were NO warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure.

Fuel pump relay sticks and causes battery to go dead. Filed complaint with chrysler in 2021. They explained there is an issue with the tipm in multiple vehicles with the same fuse relay box which could catch fire. My 2012 was not included because not enough complaints. Does not make sense. Ordered chryslers relay bypass kit from multiple outlets including oem chryler parts departments only to get cancelled due to availibility for only recalled vehicles. My vehicle shuts out randomly and will not start . The fuse box finally did start smokining at the fuel pump fuse #25. I had to order a complete tipm now because it damaged the circuit board.also,why is there no recall on the flexplates (flywheel) it shattered at the crankshaft bolts

Engine shuts off while driving and all electrical goes out while driving. Typically van restarts fine but does it again while driving.
