general problems of the 2008 Chrysler Town & Country

Vehicle stalled on freeway at 60 mph, almost causing an accident. Was able to coast to shoulder. Unable to restart and continue on. Fuel relay failure.

Strong fuel smell through the heating / defrost / air-conditioning system when stopped / stationary. This is a continuous problem.

Vehicle shuts off while driving. How can this problem, addressed literally hundreds and thousands of times on multiple sites, be judged by your department as not a "safety issue"? I, along with my wife, have been driving down the road with my family at highway speeds and the van completely shuts down. I have been driving down my driveway at low speeds and the van completely shuts down. The van behaves as if possessed. The horn blares, front and rear wipers come on by themselves, flashers come on by themselves, doors lock by themselves, washer fluid sprays on its own at a high volume. I have decided, since NHTSA, Chrysler, and my local dealership can't/won't help, that I will call an exorcist. I believe the exorcist will be about as much help as the three of you combined. I assume if my beautiful wife and daughter are killed as a result of the engine shutting off at random speeds one of you three will pay the funeral expense? or at least send some flowers to the visitation? how nice of you. Or should I just contact the exorcist again and see if she has a friend that could hold a seance so I can tell them how much I loved them and that their safety was just not a priority for you? seriously. It is time to do something. I do not have the kind of money the dealership is asking me to pay for a widely known and accepted defect in the manufacturing process of their vehicle. The total integrated power module (tipm) is faulty. Everyone knows it. The company acknowledges it. Thousands have been replaced at the owner's expense. When is someone going to step up? how many people have to die before it becomes a "safety issue" to you? so for now I have a very expensive lawn ornament and my family has to bum rides. Unbelievable.

Car gets totally possessed. It cuts off in the of driving one time on the highway. The lights wipers and horn goes on by itself and doesnt stop until the battery is disconnected. I came out the store and my wipers and horn was going off the keys were in my hand. While pumping gas the radio started playing and wipers going off. The keys were in my hand the doors unlock by themselves one they opened. While driving uphill. The car won't off when the key comes out. In the park and off position sometimes it doesn't start at all.

I was dring when I notice temperature gage going up I pull over to check and I begging to smell gas so I open the resoirver for cooling fluid in I some) a strong odor of gas I took to mechanic and they stated it is a possible leak in the head gasket.

The contact owns a 2008 Chrysler town and country. The contact stated that the vehicle was smoking excessively after being re-fueled, the air conditioner failed to function, and the air bag warning indicator illuminated. The dealer (wheels of chicago, 6229 n western Ave, chicago, IL 60659, (773) 262-7500) indicated that the vehicle was not covered by a recall and diagnostic testing was needed to determine the cause of the failure. The dealer had not diagnosed the vehicle. An independent mechanic inspected the vehicle and stated that it was unsafe to drive, and advised the contact to take the vehicle to the dealer and notify the manufacturer. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was waiting on a solution to repair the vehicle. The VIN and failure mileage were not available.

After the ignition switch recall was performed on my vehicle we experienced a stall condition that rendered the steering and brakes unusable for several seconds. The situation nearly resulted in an accident. The condition happen on a dry, sunny day while the car was in motion but not accelerating prior to going into a turn.

Having problems with the electrical system as described by many others here. Car can be sitting still in driveway or driving when the horn will go off, dashboard lights go on, wipers starting going up and down, windshield fluid starts shooting out, electrical components in vehicle don't work, a/c doesn't work, and if driving, car will not shift into gear at higher speeds. Cannot turn off or stop any of this. I tried turning car on and off, hit buttons on remote, and this will continue for a few minutes until finally stopping on its on. Very scary when you are driving! almost got in multiple accidents so far and with my kids in the car!.

The contact owns a 2008 Chrysler town and country. After refueling the vehicle, it failed to start. The contact was able to restart the vehicle. The failure recurred on numerous occasions. The vehicle was taken to a dealer. The technician diagnosed that the key needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The VIN was included in NHTSA campaign number: 14v373000 (air bags, electrical system) however, the part needed to repair the vehicle was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 100,000.

While driving down a secondary road at appriximately 25 mph the motor shut down as well as power to the steering and brakes. Proceeded to coast down the road until a safe place was identified to turn off the road. Since power had cutoff steering and braking the vehicle was extremely difficulty. Stopped the vehicle safely and placed the shifter into park and turned the ignition to the off position. Restarted the vehicle with no indication of any further problems. Two months later the same problem occured but vehicle was traveling at 35 mph this time.
