2 Engine Shut Off Without Warning problem

Failure Date: 11/25/2017

I believe that the tipm fuel pump relay is causing the issues. It has left the fuel pump on when the engine and power was off with the key out of the vehicle. It has many time cranked without starting, while stationary with the engine cold and also while hot. Last night it shutoff the engine while driving down the highway followed by cranking without starting.

4 Engine Shut Off Without Warning problem

Failure Date: 02/10/2016

While driving my vehicle on the highway at an estimated speed of 60 mph, for no reason at all, various warning/indicator lights started to flash (not all in unison) and the odometer speed indicator (digital numbers) went up & down as the car seemed to be stalling/missing. For a second it seemed to right itself then the engine completely shut down losing all power - electrical (all), power steering, power brakes, etc. And we were forced to coast to a stop in the breakdown lane. After waiting a few minutes I was able to start the car and it seemed that every thing was normal for the last 10 miles or so of my drive. This is the second time it has happened in the past 2-3 years which is a long period but alarming because both times were while driving on the highway. When it does happen you can't safely control the car once it shuts down - limited control at best. After the first time, I took it to the Chrysler dealer in kent OH (klaben) who services my vehicle because of the warranty and I trust them. They had a service technician and a manager both drive the van over the course of a few days (including highway travel) and couldn't duplicate the failure. Diagnosis was a possible computer glitch and since that diagnosis it hasn't happened again until tonight 2/10/16. It may be the computer but I will drive it tomorrow and see if it runs ok. If it does I probably won't take it back in (unless someone knows something) but I wanted to share the issue in the event anyone else has experienced the same problem. A computer glitch (if it is) is not like a reboot on the home computer. This failure both times has happened in light traffic. My fear is that in heavy traffic trying to pull over safely without any power and lights could lead to a major incident/accident. I should have my record of the (no) repair from klaben and they should also have in their data base.

6 Engine Shut Off Without Warning problem

Failure Date: 08/07/2015

We have owned our van for 3 weeks. It has been in the shop once already and I have another call into the dealership. Starting 07/2015 the van would not start easily, three times once I had it started and was physically driving it shut down. We had it brought in for service and they fixed the air filter. When it was returned it ran okay for two days and then the problems began again. Today I drove the van to and from the grocery store. I went to put the van in my garage and it will not start at all. The engine tries but never starts. The lights come on, windows go up and down and the doors can lock. It just wont start.
