Alternator/generator/regulator problems of the 2013 Chrysler Town & Country

Car dies/stalls at random when moving. Have been going 70 mph down the rd and it has happened. When this happens it causes us to lose powered steering. This is extremely dangerous! it has stalled/died at various speeds. Sometimes soon starting the vehicle will die right away. Alternator has been replaced and that is not the issue.

I believe I have a faulty tipm, you know that part that many, many other drivers have dealt with but you refuse to do a recall on! I was driving and the traction control light turned on, my brake lights were flashing and my drivers side passenger power door said 'function not available' when I tried to open it. After driving around the corner I felt the car bog down (almost felt like it went into overdrive) so I pulled over and turned the car off. It would not turn back on. The engine would not turn over. The heat turned on by itself, the engine light, airbag light, electronic throttle control, and battery lights all came on and stayed on. My husband had to come jump me and I only made it a few blocks for it happened again. My husband thought it was the alternator due to the headlights and dash lights flashing so he took it out to get tested. Tested fine. Tried the battery and it was drained. Replaced the battery today and the battery light has stayed on. We drove somewhere and it bogged down and sensor lights turned on. It got to the point that it wouldn't even stay on when jumped, doors wouldn't open, I couldn't even lock/unlock it. My husband is beyond frustrated with this. I do not feel safe driving the car again even after we figure out what's going on and fix it. Thank goodness it never 'stalled' when I was on a major road/freeway with my 3 kids. This is completely unsafe and needs a recall and to be fixed! I shouldn't have to pay $1,200+ because of a faulty part my car was built with!.

The. Car had electrical failure started with the left frontbturn signal. Next mynradio would shut down and restart on its own. Then the radio shut down and I has to restart it. Next the dashboard would light up the abs system or engine light and then cut them off. Next it shut completely down while I was parked. It was cold that say and a boost started it up. Next it shut down whlle I was driving a car full of children home from school. It lit up each warning light and shut down. It would not start with a jump. I had the battery and alternator checked by a specialist who approved both. Now after owning this van after 9 months im ready to send it back. I should also mention that the right passenger door will refuse to open by switch.

I was driving my family home from vacation in florida and while we were on the interstate in new york my town and country lost all power, almost causing an accident. The red battery light along with abs, traction control and engine light all came on and the vehicle would go any faster than 20 mile per hour. I was able to get off an exit and found a near by advanced auto and had the battery and alternator tested. Both tests came back ok. Started back for home and while driving again the car experienced the same issue.

I was driving with my three children in my 2013 Town & Country in September 2017. We were headed to the dealership because the battery light was illuminated, and the car gradually started losing electrical functions and would not accelerate past first gear. The van then died on a busy four-lane road (shelbyville road in louisville) and I had to get out and push it in the rain to a parking lot while my wife steered. I had the car towed and the dealership diagnosed the problem as a faulty alternator. My car had 48,000 miles at the time. Now at 58,000 and eight months later my alternator is starting to fail again and I will have to have it replaced. It is my understanding that the 160 amp town and country 3. 6l engine alternator has the same components as the alternators in 2010-2014 Chrysler 300, jeeps and other models that were part of a NHTSA recall. The town and country just has a different housing and orientation. I feel that these models also should be recalled.

Dash lights going on and off when brights are on. Chimes sounding. Vehicle has 44, 000 miles on it. Repair tech says tipm has to be replaced at $1300. At 33,000 miles alternator had to be replaced for similar symptoms.

Van completely shut down while driving with no advance warning. Could not even put van in neutral to push it off the road. Needs alternator replaced. Van is only 2 1/2 years old, less than 50,000 miles on it. Other Chrysler models have recalls for alternator, but not the 2013 Town & Country yet dealer cannot get an alternator due to overwhelming problems the part is out of stock.
