Car would not start from park. Towed to dealer. Diagnosis , win module bad. Why is there no recall on the 2012? it will cost about $1500. 00 to fix. In addition, this is a safety issue. The right rear sliding door will not lock. This seems to be an issue when I looked online. The doors either do not lock or lock and are unable to open. Again a problem with the computers.

Driving on 15 Feb. Stopped at a stop sign about to cross 4 lane road. Car shut off as I hit the gas to cross the road. Car could not be restarted. Had to push vehicle to a safe stopping place. Diagnosed as pcm failure. Item was still under warranty. Since failure, continue to have starting problem and perpetual warning light that Smart beam headlight sensor for the automatic high beams is out of alignment. Chrysler stated they cannot duplicate starting issues so nothing they can do and that the sensor warning is not associated and needs to be fixed out of pocket.
Chrysler town and country would not start. I put the key in the ignition, turned it on, the van would not start however windows would roll down and radio would play. Replaced the battery and issue remained. Would stop to get gas a d when. I got back in the van it would not start. This happened several times. One minute it ran just fine and next thing you know it wouldn't start. Leaving me stranded with my 3 kids numerous times. Took it to a dealership and had to pay to replace the tipm. Now there are issues with the rear ac. It works when it wants to. Some days it works just fine and other days it doesnt. It is currently in the shop to have this issue resolved. I have videos of exactly what happened at the gas stations when we were stranded. The video shows my husband putting the key in and the car not starting.
