Three problems related to alternator/generator/regulator have been reported for the 2007 Chrysler Town & Country. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
My gauges started going crazy. The abs and brake lights came on. The heater and radio went off while this was happening. At times the van just cut off in traffic but so far I'm able to start it up again. Was told by rick hendricks Chevrolet service dept that I needed to an alternator. Had a new alternator installed by b&b automotive along with a tensioner. Van still doing the same thing. Also, when the gauges start going crazy, they make a tapping/ticking noise. I replaced the battery in October or November of last year because the van at times did not start. . On one occasion when I had trouble getting it to start, the next day I took it to gerald's tires and brakes who told me I needed a battery. This morning when I approached a stop sign and stopped, the van cut off but fortunately I was able to start it up again. This happens when the van is in motion. Happens just about every day because I drive to and from work. I limit my trips to get groceries or do any unnecessary driving because I'm afraid of the van cutting off in traffic.
Power window motor and regulator failure. The power window on the drivers door will not lift the window back up. I was told the motor and the regulator need to be replaced and that this is a common problem for these minivans.
While driving on expressway at 70 mph, I pulled to the left to avoid a vehicle entering my lane and the car simple stall. No warning, all electrical system warning lights came on and after stopping in the center median, I attempted to restart the vehicle with no results. After having vehicle towed to the nearest facility, I was told that the fuel pump died and had a short. After replacing the fuel pump, the car would run for 9 minutes and would shut down. The mechanic informed me that one of the electrical control modules was faulty causing the alternator to over charge and shut off. I have had issues since we purchased this vehicle in 2007 with the gauges shutting down and the car shutting down. I have asked the dealer on several occasions about this problem and their response has always been that it doesn't happen when they have the vehicle. Now I find out that the Chrysler dealer stated to the pepboys mechanic that this is a common problem with the town and country.
