Our vehicle was made in August of 2010 and is not included in the ignition switch recall. We are experiencing inadvertent ignition key displacement from the run to accessory position while driving causing the engine to shut off. This has happened on both city streets and highway also has happened while turning. I fear of an accident and harm to others including my family.

The ignition switch contacts burnt causing the vehicle to shut down and no power to the instrument panel and the vehicle was inoperable. The motor was running stationary when the ignition switch burnt and caused the vehicle to shut down.

On multiple occasions, so far happened 3 times during the first 5 mins driving on a curved road, twice happened at the same location 1 week apart. First lost the power steering, then the esp/traction control lights on, power brake lost next. Manage to stop the car, turn on the hazard lights and restart the 2010 t&c. Then every thing back to normal again. Sent to sands Chrysler dealer over quakertown PA 18951, no code read out, suggest to start with 90k maintenance. Noticed so many similiar case reported through the web pages, hope Chrysler treat this seriously.

My van was inspected by our mechanic for an ignition switch issue, where the ignition switch moves into the accessory position when driving, stays in the "on" position after the key is shut off and the key fob is removed and at times will not allow the key fob to turn into the "on" or "accessory" position. When this happens, the vehicle is still drivable, but various features, like air conditioning, back up camera, radio, etc are not available. Not sure what all features are available, like airbag. Our mechanic has seen this issue reported by other 2010 Chrysler Town & Country 3. 8l touring and Dodge caravan owners and has been informed that they were eligible for the l25 recall. When I contacted the dealer that I purchased my 2010 van from new, they told me that my van was not included in the l25 recall. Need to have this issued reviewed again, since my 2010 van is having the same issue that has been reported for other vins.

Vehicle will turn off while driving with no warning. Have to play with ignition switch to get vehicle to start back up. Dealer is saying there are presently. I feel this is a safety issue as vehicle is mainly dying on turns.

Ignition switch regularly turns off when hitting bumps on the road, causing a complete loss of engine, power steering, and brakes. This has happened on several interstates.

This vehicle has given problems with the electrical since I got in brand new in winter 2009. When driven for more then a couple hours, all the electrical will flash off for a few seconds, to include my power steering headlights, dash lamps, etc. I had the recall done which replaced the ignition switch which supposedly was the problem. Now that this recall has been done, my key gets stuck in my ignition, the tire pressure system randomly turns off, and to top it off the electrical still flashes on and off after driving for more then an hour or two. The dealership has stated they don't know what causes this as it never happens when they test drive it. Another problem that I've had since day one, is with the transmission. When you slow down to make a turn and press the gas to speed back up with the wheel still turned the transmission will jerk into gear. This also has been looked at multiple times and the dealership did not know what was causing it.

The ignition switch moved, during regular driving on city streets over speed bumps, suddenly out of the run position, turning off the engine. The Chrysler service guys suggested to remove all items from their key rings, leaving only the ignition key - as a permanent remedy. The car was made(mdh) 092208 2010 - 9/22/2010 at 8 am - after June 2010.

This vehicle was subject to recall for ignition switch replacement which was performed in February 2016 by briggs Chrysler in lawrence KS. We had experienced no problems with the car in 100,000 miles prior to recall. After the recall repair, we have experienced 2 occurrences of engine stoppage, both at slow highway speeds (~55 mph), once on interstate 70 (illinois) and once on missouri state route 5. On each occasion, the engine stopped and all electrical systems turned off. Due to low traffic volumes the incidents presented no hazard. After stopping the vehicle, a restart was done in both cases and the trip continued. The first was in April this year and the 2nd was 2 weeks ago. The total mileage driven from date of recall work performed to the first stoppage was approx 4,000 miles. The mileage between the first and second stoppages was approx 3,000 miles. I contacted both the dealer who performed the recall and Chrysler corp cs. The dealer service rep said there was nothing they could do about the issue. Tonight a Chrysler cs rep told me it had to go to a dealer for a diagnosis (at my expense). I find both answers unsatisfactory. In the first case on I-70, if we had not been in a construction zone with low speed limits and single lane traffic, there would have been high potential to add myself and my wife to the 57 deaths already associated with this ongoing problem.

I was driving down the road and the van stalled as I was driving. I had no power steering, no power brakes, etc. Luckily there was no one behind me and was able to muscle the van to the side of the road. This is the 3rd time this has happened to my wife and I in the last month. We have not had this issue before. After I parked the car, I was able to restart the engine and drive it. Upon further investigation while driving I noted that I could turn the key fob from the "on" position to the "acc" position as I was driving with very little effort! I did some research and found that there is a recall for 2010 t&cs for ignition switch issues similar to mine. When I called Chrysler, however, they informed me that my 2010 was not covered under the l25 recall. Please help. This is obviously extremely dangerous and I have to drive my 2 kids and my pregnant wife in this thing.

When this vehicle is stopped and placed into park the ignition switch will sometimes go to the off position and the key fob can be removed from the switch. Other times the ignition switch will only go to the accessory position. This will shut off the engine but will leave the rest of the electrical systems in the on position. At this point you cannot remove the key fob. This is an intermittent problem, but it happens to often. My feeling is that if I am in an accident and there is a gasoline spill of any kind there is no way to shut off the electrical system which could start a fire. Thank you.
