2014 Chrysler Town and Country brakes problems

Filed Feb 24, 2022 · Brakes, Electrical · OH

While traveling at highway speed 65 MPH when the engine and electrical went off without warning, causing all lights, in and out to go off, power steering to be lost and I'm sure power brakes to be compromised. Was able to put vehicle in neutral and restart the engine while coasting. This did happen at night leaving the vehicle without lights while it is coasting and loosing speed on a busy freeway. This has happened a few times previously but this is the first time on the freeway.

On 1/17/21, the van engine stalled while I was driving on a freeway. This caused loss of power steering and power brakes. I coasted to stop on side of road, waited a bit, and restarted the van. It drove for aout 3 miles when the same thing happened. Problem appears intermittent since it hasn't happened when I brielfy drove the car on 1/18 and 1/19. Dealer is saying they can't find anything wrong with car (took car in to dealer on 1/20)

The van needs a new break booster and I have been told by the dodge wholesale parts warehouse that none are available and 128 are on back order with no date on when they will be available. My car is unsafe and the breaks could go out at anytime and it could be months before the part is available. In the mean time myself and other dodge, chrysler customers are driving unsafe cars.

While my wife and children were making a left-hand turn in the far left lane the van completely went dead. They lost all power to the engine, lost all power steering, lost all ability to accelerate, and lost all ability to break. The car traveled across both lanes and luckily into a shopping center turn lane, where they applied the emergency brake to come to a stop. Landscapers saw what happened and were able to push the car into the parking lot. The dashboard stayed lit and the AC fan continued to blow. It's almost as if the battery was still on, but they had no mechanical functions. We had the van taken to tequesta tire co where they did a full inspection. After a full inspection, they determined the problem to be a possible "fluke". After additional research online, this appears to be a wider issue with other t&c owners. Other owners say they have not found the cause of the issue and spend a significant amount of money with no resolution or cause.

Takata recall. .on 04/03/2019 approximately 3:45 pm I was on a city residential street moving at 30 MPH. I was coming up to a stop sign going downhill and I pressed on the brake pedal and it went to the floor. I pressed again and the same thing happened I pumped them several times and nothing. I went thru the stop street and another city block at a dead end I hit a guard rail head-on and tore it completely out. I went 100 feet into a wooded area and tore out many trees about 1 - 2 inches in diameter. I came to and abrupt stop against four trees about 3-5 inches in diameter. None of the airbags deployed and the seat belts did not lock.. I am a retired police officer so I paid attention to what was happening. I called 911 and got the police on the way. Report # [xxx]. While I was waiting I tried the brakes again and after two pumps they worked. By the way the engine was still running. I then put my foot on the brake pedal and pushed down slowly and it went to the floor again. I had a scooter and lift on the back and it had come thru the back window from the sudden stop against the trees. I had just purchased this from wolfchase hyundai in memphis tn. On 01/21/2019 and had examined it as thoroughly I as could and had a carfax report that said no accidents. When I reported the accident to state farm insurance they said in may of 2017 it was in a bad accident in mo and that the grill, bumper, left headlight fender and door were all replaced. And no airbag deployed.. I have pictures on my daughters iphone but not mine. I would like you to have them. Please advise how I can get them to you. My vehicle is sitting at paint and body perfectors in nashville tn. The grill, hood, both fenders, both headlights, drivers door, passenger door, back glass, ,transmission case, axle, right front wheel and tire all destroyed. I truly believe there is something bad wrong with this van.*dt information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tt consumer stated there were two codes.
