On 6/11/19 I took my van to have a oil change and tires rotated. About 30 minutes later my van dinged and the brake light, ABS light, traction lights came on and the speedometer quit working. I took it back to the garage and told them what happened. It was there that I found out the electric doors did not work. They said they hadn't done anything that would cause that. They sent me to a garage behind them. They could find anything on their machine. Reset the lights and I left. Within a few feet the lights came back on and the speedometer quit. I took it to my mechanic. He could not find the problem. The speedometer and the electric doors did start working again. He sent me to ramey's chrysler princeton wv. On 6/17/19 they said it was a right rear wheel sensor. My mechanic put it on but it didn't fix the problem. He sent me back to ramey's. On 7/10/19 they said I needed the right front wheel sensor. That didn't fix the problem. I had the wheel bearings checked but they were alright. I took my van back on 7/24/19 1:00pm per my mechanic request to check the tipm module and to call him so he could talk to someone up there. They said that it might not be that and I needed to leave the van there so they could do an in-depth analysis. I have not heard from them and they have not called my mechanic. I even ask on fb if anyone would know what the problem was. Most said that they could not find a solution so they just drive it the way it is. I need my cruise control due to my back and legs. I think this is a safety issue and someone needs to find out what is going on. I have paid over $300 and still don't know what the problem is. Thank you.

Clock spring disconnected drivers airbag. Air bag light has been on for some time even the last lime it was at the dealer, when the cruise control stopped working found the clock spring has broken and disconnected drivers airbag. Internet shows this is a very common problem.

We were driving down the highway at night at approx. 60 MPH on cruise control when unexpectedly, the windshield wipers came on, the engine abruptly accelerated, and the high beams flashed on, and all the dash/warning lights came on at once. This lasted for about 5 seconds then everything went black, then returned to normal. The engine did not stop running. We continued driving, but it was very frightening. We suspect this is a problem with the tipm, but it has only happened once and we have not been able to reproduce it.

There are about 10 to 12 times that I have tried to engage my cruise control and it would not come on. The only way that I could get to come as it should, was to pull off the road and cut the engine off and restart it and it would most likely start to work. I just wonder what else is not working when this happen. I did call cryrsler and report it as well as had the dealership make a note on his work sheet. I have not received a call from anyone. Thank you for your help

Life threatening situation occurred while driving our 2013 chrysler town and country minivan. We were traveling on the new york state thruway, utilizing the cruise control and as we attempted to pass a tractor trailer the accelerator stuck. My husband was driving and had lost total control of the vehicle other than steering. We were traveling at 65 MPH. Our 9 year old was in the car and began to panic and cry. We frantically tried to remedy the situation which lasted 30-40 seconds then resolved on its own. Thank goodness there were no cars in our immediate path or we would have reared ended them or been forced to drive into the median.
