There are multiple train crossings in my area and my wife and I drive these routes frequently. This seems to be a common concern based on the complaints and needs to be resolved before someone is seriously injured or killed. I urge anyone who experiences this to report it to the NHTSA. I urge the NHTSA to open an investigation and initiate a recall on this matter which could potentially affect thousands of drivers (vehicle owners) as well as the public at large.

It has died in the middle of the road while driving with no steering capabilities, it hesitates when driving between 35-40 mph.

The abs module tested bad 9 months ago and was replaced by auto electric specialists of houston. This did not solve the problem. I have not had the ecm replaced. My Chrysler dealership cannot find the problem and has told me to keep driving and to bring the car in right away if the issue happens again. The car scares me!!! it has shut off three times now in the last year. I wonder if this is the same problem that has now been reported with the 2017 Chrysler pacifica?.

While driving the van it randomly shuts down the engine and it is very difficult to steer. You cannot accelerate out of the path of traffic. This is extremely dangerous!.

I have a 2010 Chrysler town and country van. It has 70,000 miles on it which is less than the average 12,000/year. The transmission is dead and needs to be replaced. When it started dying I only had 11 miles notice. It had not given any warning prior to that. The warranty on the power train expired oct. 25, 2015 which means it only expired 10 months ago. This van was not abused. I only drove it back and forth 8 miles to work. While I was driving it it felt like it wanted to stall. It kept coming to a almost a complete stop. I took it to my mechanic who said the transmission was dead. Then Chrysler made me tow it to one of their dealerships which they too said the transmission was dead.

All of the warning lights illuminate on my dashboard, the power steering shuts off, and the engine shuts off.

My mechanic has inspected my van, but he cannot diagnose any problem unless he, himself, experiences and witnesses the stalling occur. Problem happens while in motion.

I am writing in regard to the wireless ignition module recall that affects my vehicle. I would like to lofge a complaint against the dealership: mcgrath auto 1616 51st st ne cedar rapids,ia52402 sales:(877) 226-0908 service:(888) 903-7864 parts:(888) 903-7864 this dealership has * fixed this defect within a reasonable amount of time. We have called this dealership regarding this recall in late June and on July 15. Each time we were told that the parts would have to be ordered and we would be contacted when they were in stock. My vehicle has started exhibiting the symptoms of the defect associated with this recall and has started shutting off while we are driving the vehicle. We called the dealership today (September 4) to state that we had a safety issue and needed the vehicle fixed immediately. The dealership said they had the parts but requested we leave the vehicle with them all day rather than the 'one hour to complete' the recall notice states. Since we live approximately 30 miles from the dealership I asked for a loaner vehicle if we were going to be without our vehicle for a day and was told no loaner vehicle was available. I then asked for the next available appointment and was told they couldn't get me in for a week. We now have an appointment on September 11 at 1pm. I am concerned that my vehicle is going to continue to exhibit this defect while driving and put my safety and the safety of my family in jeopardy. I am appalled by the lack of urgency this dealership has exhibited in dealing with this recall on my vehicle and I would like them to be reprimanded. Thank you, james weighton.

The bearing on the right front intermediate shaft is failing. The symptoms included a loud noise and excessive play in the intermediate shaft. The mechanic inspected the vehicle and recommended an immediate replacement of the bearing.

We ordered a new shaft/bearing assembly in early June. This assembly was on back order in June, and has still not arrived. Promised delivery dates have come and gone. The most recent promise date is mid-September. We have been told that more than 140 shafts are on back order. This vehicle is our primary source of transportation, and the longer the delay, the greater our concern of a catastrophic event.
