Car is dangerous! engine has stalled repeatedly when in motion. Has been in for corrections three times with no improvement. Re. L25/NHTSA 14v-373 recall, fobik was replaced by ziegler in mich. --followed by more stalling, subsequently by phillips in florida (also replaced wyn/fobc module--9dec15)--followed by more stalling, subsequently phillips updated pcm & tipm--5feb16,car stalled next day and then again the day after. Stalling usually occurs within a mile after starting the engine. Can then turn off the ignition key and restart the engine. Usually the engine then runs without stalling. Regarding "when did this happen?" stalling has occurred most recently several times in December, 2015 and several times in January and February, 2016. I wonder if the problem might not be the wireless ignition node module detents, but possibly the fuel shut-off float which is a problem with my 2005 Chrysler town and country--just a thought that may be irrelevant to the problem with my 2009 t & c.
Recently purchased vehicle used (dealership filled with fuel after test drive but before we took it home). On the way home on city streets (while approaching an intersection), the engine stalled causing loss of power brakes & power steering. After putting the car in park, it started up & ran fine. A couple days later, my wife was driving it & while turning right at an intersection it did the same thing. She barely was able to safely complete the turn due to the loss of power steering. After that incident it hasn't happened again (but we haven't filled it with fuel again yet). Research on the net leads me to think it is the common problem with a valve in the fuel tank. We are very nervous driving the car & are dreading our next fill up. This is incredibly unsafe & I hope Chrysler is willing to do something about it.

We notice the problem of engine stalls oct 11 2014, Nov 14 and Nov 16, 2014. Was driving on highway suddenly the tire traction light came on, power steering became hard to move and could not accelerate. I turned off the unit and turned on again no problem. I took the van to the Chrysler dealer. They found engine stalls error but are not sure what caused it.

We bought this car new in 2009 from the gary miller Chrysler dealership in erie, PA. In early 2011 and continuing to present, the car engine will stall out upon applying the brakes to decelerate. The stall always happens at a slow speed right before stopping, just when it stops, or a few seconds after the car comes to a complete stop. It feels like the engine and transmission want to force the car to keep moving instead of braking to a complete stop. On some occasions, the car tries to lurch forward and requires holding the brake down hard to prevent it. The other situation is when starting at a slow speed, the engine will not automatically shift gears and the engine revs up dangerously high. We pull off the road, shut down the engine, restart, and then it seems to be okay. We have reported this to the gary miller Chrysler dealership service department since it started in 2011. They have been very concerned and attempt to discover the cause by test drive and diagnosis, but have no explanation. Other than this, the service there has been very reliable.
After sustained highway speeds, our van stalled upon exiting the highway and coming to a complete stop at the first traffic light. The steering wheel and brake pedal would shake very hard immediately prior to stalling. The tachometer would also dip below 750 rpm immediately before engine stalling. This same thing happened at least 10 times before we finally took it back to the dealership. They could not find anything wrong with the van and said that they simply updated the engine computer software. The problem continued and became quite predictable. There is no problem when the vehicle is driven around town since I don't get onto a highway to go to work or shop. It happens all the time now after we've been on the highway for a while and exit. Sometimes it will stall before we can even come to a complete stop which concerns me greatly. Our vehicle recently ran out of it's regular 3 year/36,000 mile warranty so we took it to our regular mechanic because we wanted another opinion and to finally get it fixed even if it had to be at our own expense. Our mechanic determined that the problem was with the torque converter. Apparently the torque converter is intended to help the transmission get better gas mileage when at highway speeds. Upon exiting the highway, the torque converter is not properly disengaging which is resulting in our engine stalling issue. Instead of charging us to fix the problem he told us to have our dealer fix it since it should still be covered by the power train warranty as we have just over 40,000 miles on the vehicle. After 3 days with the dealer, they have yet to resolve the issue and claim that they cannot reproduce the problem. Needless to say, we are extremely frustrated. Chrysler needs to either fix the problem or replace the vehicle.
