Chrysler Town and Country headlights problems

Filed Jul 26, 2026 · Electrical, Transmission · MI

Transmission completely failed and had to be risky rebuilt. I was just driving down the highway and the transmission went into limp mode and I came to a fast slow down as it dropped the gearing. Also have noticed a huge issue with electronics putting me into a limp mode with wipers on headlights wont shut off, lose dash lights and speedometer with no blinkers or hazard lights. This left me in a very unsafe place as I had no way to tell other drivers where I was going or see how fast im going. Could have caused a huge accident 😕. Please look into this as there are many issues of this happening.

I have had two 2016 Town & Country’s both of which have the same issue of the automatic high beam occasionally not turning off for oncoming vehicles. I have in fact been pulled over because they failed to turn off for a Michigan state police officer. The problem occurs most when on a large divided highway such as an interstate or in curves. This has been an issue ongoing with both of them and the sensor has been since discontinued by Chrysler so I can’t try replacing it anymore however the fact that both of mine have done this indicates to me that this is a larger problem.

Headlights: low beams do not work at all but high beams do. Second time this vehicle has had the same problem. Last time Chrysler replaced under a lifetime replacement, just short of a recall yet here I am having the same problem again.

Headlight on passenger side went out and it was not the bulb assembly.

The headlights went out on me. I confirmed it was not the bulbs. I confirmed it was not the switch. Highbeams work. low beams do not. Further research indicates that this is a very very common problem with the TIPMs totally integrated power module. it is not just a relay or fuse. it is a very expensive part that has a long delay. https://www.chryslerforum.com/forum/chrysler-voyager-town-country-21/2010-chrysler-town-country-tipm-16614/

The contact owns a 2010 Chrysler Town and Country. The contact stated that after activating the headlight switch, the headlights would blink off and on twice before turning off. The contact stated that the failure was present on both the low beam and high beam headlights, making the vehicle undrivable at night. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who uninstalled an aftermarket remote starter and replaced a multifunction high beam selector switch; however, the failure reoccurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 156,577.

The contact owns a 2013 Chrysler Town and Country. The contact stated that after starting the vehicle, he slightly touched the ignition key, and the vehicle shut off inadvertently. The contact stated that the failure recurred several times while driving on a bumpy road surface. The contact was able to pull to the side of the roadway and restarted the vehicle. The contact stated that the failure had been recurring increasingly while driving and caused the headlights to turn off and the vehicle to lose power steering functionality. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the Wireless Ignition Node (WIN) module needed to be replaced. The vehicle was being repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the VIN and the year vehicle was not included in the federal safety agency Campaign Number: 14V373000 (Electrical System, Air Bags) . The failure mileage was approximately 115,000. The VIN was unavailable.

The problem appears to be the power module. My van is psychotic. Problem usually occurs when headlights are on, although sometimes AC will also do it. Headlights and/or wipers will randomly turn off (or on, though the off is what is scary and dangerous.) Entire electrical system is unreliable. Sometimes engine just shuts off, dash lights randomly blink, TPMS light illuminates randomly when pressure is good. Battery stops charging, although alternator and battery test good. I have had both wipers and headlights fail while driving at night in the rain. I will put a date of two years ago, and the problem still persists. Chrysler no longer sells this part. Vehicle has a lifetime power train warranty, but is a death trap to drive.

This issue has to do with the ignition switch. While driving, the car would randomly shut completely off causing a loss of power to the electrical systems, power steering, effective braking, etc. This has occurred several times. Once while driving at night, the vehicle completely shut off while driving at approximately 60mph, causing the headlights to shut off and the power to completely cut off. This can be extremely dangerous and even deadly. My safety was put at risk as I loss my vision(without headlights) and losing power(steering, engine, etc.) caused me to veer into the incoming traffic lane. A head-on collision could have occurred due to a loss of control. The issue is intermittently and cannot be intentionally replicated. However, it has occurred numerous times. The component has not been inspected by the manufacturer. There is no warning indicators when the problem occurs. It usually occurs suddenly without hindsight. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request.

During idle, or driving under various conditions, vehicle will randomly "shut down". This can happen driving through a corner or on the interstate at 70mph. Once it shuts down, you lose braking and steering assist. Still have headlight and accessory power. Car will start right back up either putting it in neutral and turning the key, or coming to a stop and putting it in park. Doesn't hesitate to crank, appears to have fuel pressure and spark. There is no correlation to this issue with driving conditions. Sometimes will happen multiple times in a day, sometimes wont happen for a week. Research suggests that this is a very common issue across many years of vehicles that have used the 3.6L Pentastar engine, however no TSB's or recalls have been issue for the 2016 T&C exhibiting this issue.
