The vans power would flicker on and off multiple times. The windshield wipers would turn on and off. The radio on and off. All dash lights on and off. Then driving 26mph one day it did this and the whole engine shut off with the keys in the ignition while driving. I lost all power, power steering, and brakes! Battery was replaced and the issues kept getting worse.

Multiple warning lights by model year
What owners say
Problem begins with random ding, all dashboard lights come on, speedometer/fuel gauge/tachometer do not function at all, turn signals & hazards don't work, wipers turn on by themselves for a few swipes and then go back off. This lasts a few seconds and goes back to normal. Reoccurs randomly, lasting from 10 seconds to a full day of driving. It doesn't matter if the van is moving or still, just started or been running- it happens very randomly. Yesterday, I started the van and all dash lights were lit, no gauges worked, and turn signals & hazards did not work for several hours. Today I started it and after driving about 5 minutes, fixed itself and went back to normal.
When trying to start my van all the dash lights come on but the van will not start and the etc light comes on. There is a clicking sound in the fuse box and the brake lights do not light up when the pedal is pushed. Took it to the mechanic who stated there is a problem with the fuel pump. There is currently a recall on the fuel pump relay for certain town & country vans but for some reason does not include this particular one.
I have major electrical issues with my van that involves several components including my airbags. While driving down the road the wipers operate uncontrolably several warning lights come on including the airbag light. The blind spot indicators and park assist and traction control ABS is all unavailable at the time of it acting up. I have taken it to several dealerships all chrysler and none of them can diagnose the issue. The vehicle acts up no matter what it is doing whether it is driving down the road or stationary. This problem has been going on since it had 41,000 miles on it and sisnce I purchased it used with 41,000 miles on it. I have talked with chrysler headquarters and they will not respond to me by email or phone call at this time. They initially talked to me and said they would be of no financial assistance to me because the factory warranty is up, and not they will not respond to my calls or emails.
While in motion on a highway everything shut down. No spedometer, no tv, no windows, no blinkers, no AC,no brake lights, no headlights. Everything that was electrical was off. The engine was still running. All warning lights were on the dash and it also said no bus,
While driving this vehicle on the expressway, wipers started first, window activated, airbag failure light, all dash lights flashing on and off, speed and tach. Failure, was able to get to the side of a four lane highway without getting hit. On turning the vehicle off it would not re-start. About 30 min. Later, it started, however, had a total loss of speed, tach, dash lights flashing, wipers, window control failure in the down position, airbag failure warning, no turn signals or head lights. At dealer: vehicle still in warranty and a week after drop off told it was the tipms computer and needed to be replace. A week later no parts with a projected date of (on indefinite back order), dealer would not provide a vehicle. Call chrysler at 800.992-1997 and 800‑247‑8753, no help at all, just kicked the can down the road and played rope a dope for 3 hours on the phone! Still paying hundreds a month for the car that we can not drive and paying 300 week for a rental. Last chrysler we will have and need to dump this one !!!
All the warning lights turn on and the wiper starts working, all the gauges stop and the AC and dvd turns off, bougt this car from fuccillo nissan in latham on 06/12/2015, so far its the 5th time I have told them about the problem and till date they cant do anything to duplicate the problem, showed them videos of it when it starts to happen... They wont fix it or get it fixed, service department and there general sales manager keeps telling me to take it to chrysler to get it fixed, its still under warranty from the dealer
This is the 5th time in less than two weeks!!! How many times is this going to happen? It has already been to chrysler who somehow can't find anything wrong!! On its way getting towed again back to the dealership. 5 times the battery has died for no apparent cause. Of course I am not over paranoid and go through the trouble every single time I am done driving to turn off the interior lights, turn off the radio wait for every single light to turn off and take pictures of all lights off and guess what ...dead? But the battery tested fine according to dealership and found nothing on the scans. When they jump it, lasts for less than 24 hours, when they charge it, lasts for 4 days each time. Wont start, no electrical, nothing turns on, fob don't work....awesome! Hope chrysler is enjoying footing this bill for towing, labor and rentals every time cause I certainly am not enjoying missing work, endangering the welfare of my children in the middle of winter, being stranded at hospice and every minute so they can tell me they can't find a problem!!!!!
While driving into the dark going approximately 65 MPH in the rocky mountains the headlights and all light in the car went out. It was raining and the windshield wipers were going. The lights were on automatic setting. The wiper setting was adjusted on the control and all the lights went out including the headlights and all of the interior lights. Approximately 5 seconds later after moving the wiper switch around the lights came on. The lights all went out again approximately 1 minute later went the wiper switch was adjusted. We then tuned on the lights on the light control and the headlights remained on. The problem was when the automatic light setting was on.
