Three problems related to engine stall have been reported for the 2003 Chrysler Town & Country. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Dash board instrumentation failure and additional engine issues. Fuel gauge pegged. Tachometer and other gauges fluctuating, engine falters and stalls, all warning lights illuminate, radio becomes intermittent. Car alarm activates and will not shut off. Low voltage to dashboard cluster circuit board. Instrument error codes e400. 1, e100. 1, e100. 3, e100. 4, e100. 5 dealership can not diagnose or repair issues, which happen while driving, often the car stalls and will not restart in traffic. Numerous internet reports of same problem by many people. (see edmunds. Com, under Town & Country electrical problems) suggested repairs are re-soldering of circuit board cold solder joints in cluster board, and replacement of the cluster board. Recommend a safety recall of Town & Country's and voyagers from 2000-present to inspect for this issue.
Engine will die at a stop sign. Engine will also die while coasting between 30 to 65 mph. There is no warning signs when this occurs. Obviously power steering will be lost instantly. Power brakes will also fade after three applications. After bringing the car to a full stop or placing the gear shift lever to neutral and cranking the engine it will re-start. This is an intermittent problem since 2009. Chrysler dealers are unable to pin point the problem due to lack of engine service codes. Over time they have changed fuel filters, throttle body cleaning, tune ups, crankshaft position sensor replacement, bcm re-learn etc. Internet blogs indicate this is a common problem with Chrysler Mini vans. Some technicians attribute it to electrical harness shorting. I wonder if there are any safety recalls or service bulletins issued by Chrysler. As of this date the problem is ongoing, engine stall is a daily occurrence.
