Six problems related to engine shut off without warning have been reported for the 2005 Chrysler Town & Country. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
My 2005 Chrysler town and country has an issue: the sash and engine totally shuts down. When it shuts down, all the lights, mileage display, drive selector, and radio resets to it default. The speedometer and tach needles go to zero and the engine shuts down. When this happens I have to get the car stopped so that I can put into park in order to restart the engine. After a few minutes the power comes back up and the needs on the speedometer and tack start recycling. When mechanics from firestone and a local Chrysler dealer here attempted to find the issue, there were no codes to trace.
Tl- the contact owns a 2005 Chrysler town and country. The contact stated that while driving about 65 mp, the engine shut down. The check-engine light illuminated. The vehicle was pulled to the side and was restarted after a few minutes. A local dealer was contacted but was unable to advise on the failure over the phone. The failure recurred several times but was not diagnosed. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 135,000. Fe.
My Chrysler Town & Country costantly has issues with flickering lights, wacked out speedometer, all lights in dash go haywire including headlights. Sometimes the engine shuts down temporarily while driving or even fails at stoplights. Well a while ago I had taken my son to the doctors and on the way home my van started acting up so bad that the engine completely shut down including power steering and caused me to go into the next lane and luckily we weren't hit by another driver! after sitting there in the middle of the lane during rush hour for about 10 minutes it finally decided to start up but this is now a constant issue. After seeing so many complaints with the same issue I don't understand how the manufacturer is getting away with no recall. I fear for my safety every day and have already forked way too much money into it trying to find a solution to the problem. Please anybody having the same issue please file a complaint in hopes that they will issue a recall. Thanks.
The vehicle experiences sudden power failures. The engine shuts off while mobile with a sudden loss of power steering and brakes. It is very dangerous as I could have lost control or been rear ended. Internet research has noted that dealers have diagnosed that the evaporator valve in the fuel tank was defective and needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but did not offer any assistance.
While driving engine shut off all functions, steering and power brakes failed to work. Once stopped placed van into park. After stopping, van started. Same event happened 3 more times in a mile 5 drive.
First incident: filled up low gas tank at a gas station. Hopped in the car, started it, and drove off. About 1 minute later, the car shut off completely. It started up again a moment later. Second incident: same as the first incident, only a week later. Empty tank, filled it up, shut off about a minute later. Third incident: same as first two forth incident: this continues, occurring every time now.
