While in motion on a city street, my instrument cluster panel lit up, windshield wipers turned on and couldn't be turned off, turn signals stopped working, as well as the speedometer, odometer, temperature gadge, radio, and heating/cooling system. The vehicle still drives, but is not safe to be on the road due to no speedometer and turn signals. Also, my driver side window was rolled down and is now stuck in the downward position

The van stalls a little bit I went and had a diagnostic done on it and the catalytic converter keeps clogging up causing the van to slow up or to switch gears. Also the doors don't close all the way the sliding doors do not close all the way you have to open and close them sometimes it will say that their clothes and then they come open. Also the AC system does not work in the back of the car the door from the AC that goes to the back of the van closes and will not open to it gets extremely hot in the car even though the AC is on full blast. Also the dvd system my van is 2 years old the dvd player went out and the company would not fix the dvd player I had to spend over $1,000 just to get a new replacement for the dvd player. Also the wipers will fog up the windows causing a hazardous where you cannot see and the wiper cord for the rain-x comes undone.

Stalls without warning under all conditions. Engine and all electrical components (engine, lights, power brakes, power steering, interior lights, dashboard lights). This used to happen once and a while. Now it happens more than once a day. This is a major safety problem. Last time the car was at the chrysler dealership they were unable to diagnose the problem. Do not buy a chrysler minivan until this is addressed, they take responsibility for this daner, and there is a recall. Car has less than 40k miles. Most recently happened when travelling at about 20mph, while pulling out of a parking lot and into traffic on a busy road, temperature outside is 40f. City street. Car was already warm (had been driven about 10-miles prior to this happening. I'm only allowed to check three items for part of the car affected, but other systems were also effected including lighting, peed control, wipers, power seats, steering, elec stability control, air bags, tire pressure sensors, and other electrical systems.

Without warning the engine and all electrical components (interior and exterior lighting, radio, wipers, AC-heat/blower, brake assist, steering assist, airbag, speed indicator, etc) all shut off. There are no dash warning lights. The dashboard is completely black for a moment (until restart). This happened while the car was warm (after driving at highway speed for over 15min). This happened while the car was travelling at approximately 35-miles per hour on a city street. I was able to put the car in neutral and immediately restart without stopping. This was an extremely dangerous situation. If I was on a poorly lit road or going around a corner, or at a higher speed, or a less experienced driver, this could easily have been a fatal accident. This was previously reported to chrysler and thye reported the problem 'fixed' less than 1-year ago (reported to chrysler corporate in early august 2017 and supposedly fixed by a chrysler dealership august 11 2017). The problem is not fixed. This happens without warning and very limited (less than once per month). It seems more frequent in cold weather. It has happened at other times, often a minute or so after starting the vehicle, while warming up. It has happened other times while driving (about 4-times since purchase in november 2014), but I do not recall the dates and time.

Windshield wipers will not come on in rain as designed. When operated manually they only work in very slow mode. This issue occurs both in motion and when stationary. No warning or code from the cars dash.

2014 chrysler town and country - 70,000 miles electronics started malfunctioning while driving shutting off all inside cabin electronics including panel, radio, A/C and turning on windshield wipers. At first it did not malfunction every time but now it doesn't run 1 minute without malfunctioning. Sometimes my brake, head and signal lights will not work and the complete panel and gages will not go back up including gas, speed RPM etc. Until I shut down the car and wait a few minutes to turn it back on making it completely unsafe. I brought it to the local dealer and as expected, and mentioned by others online, they said they have never heard of anything like it. They stated that my car has 9 different computers and that they are reading malfunctions on all of them and decided to reset the module that controls all of the interior electronics. $100.00+ nothing changed apart from the fact that it is now happening more frequently. I refuse to get into the path of spending thousands of dollars on this repair just on the guessing game of replacing part after part without positive results. Please help!

Driving the van down a street and most of the electrical systems failed. Wipers went to full speed, every check light came on. No steering, radio died, brakes did work because they are not electrical. Shut it down and restarted. Took it to falls motor city who did not find any faults. Said they never heard of such a thing. Basic conclusion I was nuts. Took the car back...then it happened again total of 4 times in 3 months

Radio, gauges, turn signals, and AC randomly stop working. Wipers turn on at the same time. Some times for seconds, sometimes for hours.

Vehicle gauge cluster shut down while driving 75 MPH on the interstate. The dash warning lights/chimes go off and on, the wipers turn on, the A/C shuts down, no fuel gauge and most importantly no turn signals or speedo. I have narrowed it down to a bad blind spot sensor on the driver side. I cant believe a failed sensor would cause such safety hazard when the sensor is supposed to make the car safer. Very disapointed in chrysler right now for shoddy craftsmanship.

Radio, gauges, turn signals, and AC randomly stop working. Wipers turn on at the same time. Some times for seconds, sometimes for hours. There does not seem to be a trigger as it has happened while driving on the highway, back roads and even stopped in the driveway. No way to reset the car once it is in dead radio/AC/gauges mode, it will only reset itself, again randomly. I tried pulling the battery cable and waiting, then re-attaching to no avail.
