2014 Chrysler Town and Country: won't start

Filed Aug 19, 2024 · Electrical, Engine · LA

No check engine warning, unpredictable no start, no crank. Physical well being of grandchild, others and self at risk due to high temperatures. This also puts stress on mental well being, how to fix, can I fix, the cost and constant worry of being stranded. Have not confirmed with dealer. Did have a shop review. Battery, alternator good, starter is new. Issue is sporadic and hard to duplicate, but happening daily. Research on internet shows this is common occurrence without a definitive solution. Who has to have a breakdown, not just mechanically speaking to find a solutuon?

Van turned off and would crank but not start. Happened at random times until it would not start at all. Was towed for repair, we had to replace the tipm. Now only a couple weeks later the van, again, will only crank but not start.

I recently purchased this vehicle, within a few days the car completely froze, unable to start the engine, I must say the temperature was normal about 70 f. There were no check engine lights on, nothing I could do to start it up worked. I simply waited for help that never showed up. Today, wed feb 26th, 20, it has happened again, the same thing, the engine wouldn't start up, I must say without any engine lights on..I waited for 45 minutes and the engine started running like normally does. I am afraid to be stranded away from the nearest repair shop, or it may happen again in the middle of the night. I would really appreciate it if you would look into this mechanical. Problem. I must add, I replaced the car battery yesterday 2/25/20. Please note this problem happens when I'm stationary, without the car moving, no warning lights on.

My van started experiencing times when it would not start. At first I thought it was the starter and then after a few minutes of trying it would start. It was not the starter. This went on for several weeks and then I noticed that if the door was open it would start, then if I jiggled the wires in the door it would start. After a awhile that wouldn't make it start. I had to have it towed and the key was left in the ignition and as the tow truck driver was getting ready to put the vehicle on the truck he slammed the door and it started!! We thought it might be the wiring harness in the door so we removed it and it worked perfectly while it was out. We then replaced the wiring with oem parts and then the problem started happening again. It was intermittent and would always start if you slammed the door until 2 days ago and now it won't start at all. The repair shop says it is throwing 40 codes and that it needs a new tipm just to see what is wrong with it. It costs well over $1000!!! And it may not fix it.I know that chrysler has had recalls for the tipm in the past and quite obviously they have not fixed the problem!

Driving down the road and vehicle completely shutdown, no power steering, little braking, no lights on display. This would happen randomly with no engine light warnings. Happens multiple times. Once shutdown in middle of major intersection and it would not start up, would try to turn over. It also seems to happen around 35-45 MPH and coming to a stop. Took it to dealership hooked it up on computer no engine light or sensor triped and while it was idling car shutdown asked service manager to check about a recall on 2011 vehicles (p54) but they said no recall. I take it to work every day less then a mile away and car has shutdown on me twice. Afraid to drive it any distance

I was driving through a water puddle on a two lane city street when the backwash of water from a truck in front entered my engine through the air intake ducting and caused the engine to lock up (hydrolocked) disabling my car and leaving it inoperable. This immobile situation exposed my wife and I to a possible collision as cars passed us. I had to have the vehicle towed from the site. Later evaluation by a local manufacturer's dealer revealed that the engine would not turn over and needed replaced with an estimate to repair of $9,280. I believe this incident was caused by a faulty design where the engine air intake duct opening is too close to ground level. The consumers comprehensive insurance coverage covered the damaged and advised the dealer, to locate a used engine. After the engine was installed, the vehicle would not start. It was determined the starter also had water damaged and required replacement. Updated 11/17/15.

Car cut off and would not start. Took the car to a chrysler dealership and they said it was the battery. They charge the battery and the car still would not start. Then they said it was the tipm, they had to order the part and 39 other was waiting on the part also. It is going to be $1,100.00 to fix the problem.
