Six problems related to battery have been reported for the 2005 Chrysler Town & Country. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
My wife was driving our 2005 Chrysler town and country on 6-20-11 and when she was making a right hand turn the vehicle completely shut off. She stated she almost hit cars on the other side of the road and was almost rear ended with our three small children in the car (7,5 and 4 years of age). She stated it started right back up and seemed to drive normal afterwards. We took it to a chrylser dealer on 6-21-11 and they could not reproduce the problem and they stated the only error code found was a low voltage battery. The battery was replaced. It waits to be seen if this happens again. We are very concerned and I have read about a current recall on 2010 models. I don't know if this could be the same type of problem or not but we feel it should be reported and or investigated if possible. Our van is the 3. 3 l v6 with 80,000 miles and we have had it for a few years with no problems like this before.
2005 Chrysler town and country power door locks inoperative. The power locks have stopped working at different intervals. Pulling the 20a iod fuse and reinserting it after 10 minutes or pulling the cable off of the battery for 10 minutes has fixed the problem so far. This starting happening when the van had approximately 48,000 miles.
Two years ago, February 2008, I had the body control module on my 2005 Chrysler Town & Country replaced. The van was a little over three years old and out of warranty. The repair cost $658. It was replaced with a dealer part at a Chrysler dealership. This past Saturday it started with the same symptoms as in 2008. It won't start, the doors will not unlock, and it drains the battery. I just want to know if other van owners have the same problems.
2005 Chrysler town and country bad battery, power locks quit working removed the iod fuse and plugged it back in.

I have a 2005 Chrysler town and country it started with my locks stopping working I disconnected it and than it worked for a couple of weeks than it would go out again. Now my abs and traction control light came on and quit working for a week now the light went out and works I tried the battery thing again but did not work. I'm afraid the computer may stop working when diving. I only have 48,000 miles on it.
