2 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 09/16/2019

Our 2011 Town & Country started having starting/stalling issues about 3 months ago - mind you there is only about 81k miles on the vehicle. The dealer first replaced the power module in September, then the issue returned only to be causing more electrical issues. The car was taken back to the dealer and it was explained then that they had to replace the power module due to a faulty relay. This is the exact same issue that other Chrysler/Dodge vehicles of the same year are being recalled for. The stalling was dangerous as it happened while driving. This has been a very costly problem without a recall being issued - although vehicles using the same engine and components are being recalled. Please help escalate this.

6 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 08/28/2018

My Chrysler town and country began having what I thought was a minor turn signal issue. After replacing the bulb and that not correct the issue my mechanic replaced the fuses and that did not solve the issue. I was then told that my tipm box/system was bad. That an $800. 00 part to fix a signal turn signal. Well it had to be replaced in order to pass inspection in order to continue driving the vehicle. So I replaced it. Fast forward 1 year later and my vehicle begins to intermittently spudder when coming to a complete stop. I then began to completly shut off at times after highway driving over a distance of 5 or more miles when I exit and stop or slow down after exiting the highway. When I took it to the shop, they test drove the vehicle and it stalled on the highway during their test drive diagnostic. They had to get assistance to get the vehicle out of the road. They then told me that only the dealership can correct the tipm system.

8 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 07/27/2017

My van started to have problems with the rpm, surging from 2 to 5 and then to 6 or 7 rpm with speeds ranging from 40mph to 65 mph. The van also sort of stalls for seconds which makes it terrifying. We took the van to bob caldwell in columbus ohio three times to repair the issue and they updated the software, added fluid to the transmission and allegedly "drove the car for 60 miles" yet couldn't duplicate the issue. All the times that this has happened the car was running. The first time only happened when going 65 or 70 miles per hour on the highway but now it happens on regular roads when traveling 40 mph. I don't know if this related but earlier this year, my car was sent to bob caldwell because it stall/ stop completely while being driven. . . . The problem with the rpm started 3 months later and just last month it wouldn't start. They said the changed the gasket this time but my problem persist.

9 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 11/24/2016

While driving down the road 2 times this week - my vans electrical system completely turned off for about 2-5 seconds and turned back on. This includes: tvs, driver dash, radio dash all interior lightening -both times happened during the day I am not sure about outside lights (I assume). The first time the van stalled completely losing power steering and had to restart engine. The 2nd time I could still gas the van with power steering before all electrical restarted itself. Both times I was driving on a busy road going straight (mph 30-45pmh).

10 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 06/26/2016

Experiencing intermittent electrical problems. The van will crank fine one time and not just a few minutes later. It acts like the battery is dead but it's a brand new battery replaced by the dealer. It has been doing this off and on. The symptoms are a perfect fit for the tipm issues that other Chrysler vehicles have experienced and have been recalled for. It has plenty of voltage and amperage to crank, it just won't. Also when it does crank it will stall out, although, not every time. Sometimes it will crank normally and others you need to press the accelerator pedal. This also appears to fit the tipm symptoms exactly. The van has worked perfectly until this issue. This is a design defect that Chrysler should pay to correct in all affected vehicles. The most recent occurrence was the evening of 6/26/16. I drove the vehicle approximately 4 hours earlier and it cranked and operated normally, however, this time it would not crank. The interior lights and a/c fan all appear to operate normally, however, when I tried to crank the van all of the lights flickered but the van does not crank. I do not receive a low batter warning either, because the batter is brand new, replaced by the dealer at the beginning of June 2016. I attempted several more times but the van never did crank. That is why I am here. I am fed up with having to drive a van with an obvious design flaw. I am seeking resolution in the form of the the dealer correcting the defect at the their own cost.

11 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 05/01/2015

-Jan 2015- the key was lodged in the ignition and would not come out. I had it towed to nearest chry dealer to fix. - Jan to may- car intermittently stalls/won't start. Sometimes starts with a jump. -may- mechanic/battery installed $268. -June/July- car intermittently stalls/won't start. Starts if you wait a while. -August-won't start/wont jump/stranded with kids/towed to mechanic. -changed my batteries in my key fobs at least 3 times in 2015. -I am constantly stranded with my children and spend days without my car waiting for mechanics to find out the problem. The Chrysler dealer informs me that it's a minimum of $200 just to look at it. It will most likely be more if it's electrical and they need a day or two. I have to get my kids to and from school and can't pay for another car. Mechanic said to look at bulletins/info on tipm and win. Other chry year/makes have had exact same issues and were recalled. There is a class action suit for this year/make and many more. How am I still driving? I was given a tip by a mechanic: open the hood and then the fuse box. Remove the m27 fuse. Wait 10 seconds. Replace fuse. Start car. It's been working so far! apparently, this clears a software lockup in the module.
