The battery and check engine lights are constantly on despite a new battery, new battery cable, and new alternator. The cruise control will randomly stop working. Abs and vehicle stability lights will go on and off. And at times headlights, dash, and radio screen will flicker and lose power making it impossible to see or know what the car is doing. Mechanic has looked at and repaired the car 3 different times and there is nothing identifiably wrong. The car is now unsafe to drive not knowing when the dash will go out, speed will reduce, or lights turn off. It is a hazard to the driver and others on the road.

I noticed that at random times the airbag light would illuminate, even while there was no one in the seat. I called the dealership and took it in but because at the time it was not on, they said they could not do anything about it.

Driving on interstate with cruise control on. Pressed on gas to pass vehicle and when I let off of gas, vehicle kept accelerating. Stepped on brake multiple times and turned cruise control off & vehicle still accelerated up to 92 MPH. A red lightening bolt like item showed on the display. Finally, after multiple attempts, the cruise control disengaged. There is a recall through chrysler for this very issue but the town & country is not part of the recall. Dealer said there is no code that shows up so they don't know what to do about it. Contacted chrysler and they said they would get back to me and suggested I not use cruise control (wasn't planning on use it!). I told them that not using cruise control is okay temporarily but is not a permanent fix.

The cruise control button doesn't always turn the cruise control on or off. I sometimes have to use the break to turn it off. When turning it off, the cancel and even the off button don't do anything. I have the same issues when I'm trying to turn it on. The button to make it go faster or slow down seem to work. It's the on/off and the cancel buttons that don't seem to work. I put today's date below, but it's always been like this. It also happens at a variety of speeds.
