Engine Shut Off Without Warning problems of the 2013 Chrysler Town & Country

The vans power would flicker on and off multiple times. The windshield wipers would turn on and off. The radio on and off. All dash lights on and off. Then driving 26mph one day it did this and the whole engine shut off with the keys in the ignition while driving. I lost all power, power steering, and brakes! battery was replaced and the issues kept getting worse.

The electrical and engine shut off more than a dozen times over several months, summer, fall and winter, while I was driving in city traffic, with no other known correlations. All electrical systems and power steering and power brakes also ceased to function. This necessitated my placing the transmission into neutral to reengage the ignition, which immediately restarted the engine. . Perhaps also related: after overnight, immediately after engaging the ignition, starter and briefly the engine, the engine shut off when I released the ignition switch. This happened several times in a row. Only recently has this problem first occurred duurinh the several years we have had the car. Only after I engaging the gas pedal while engaging the ignition and increasing the rpms did the engine begin to function normally. This has happened several days when the temperature was about 30�f.

On two occasions while my wife was driving, both times while on a town road, the vehicle shut off almost like the vehicle had its ignition turned off. Total loss of power to everything electrical, loss of power steering and brakes. She was able to get the van pulled over, and once she was on the side of the road, she was able to get it started right away.

Van has shut off randomly 4 times now. The first three times was while sitting still. It started right back up the first time but took awhile to start up the second time. The third time it also started right back up. The last time it shut off while driving through town at about 35 mph. Lost all braking and steering. Van will not start back up.

While driving my van, especially at speeds of 20-30 miles per hour, shuts off , leaving me with no electric brakes or steering, no acceleration, nothing. This has been happening intermittently for a couple years. The mechanics at aaa have trouble recreating the problem. About 14 months ago they replaced the tipm . The electronic aspects of the van were haywire, dash lights flashing, born blaring etc. This is also occurring again but the tipm isn't the issue according to aaa. It is terrifying to drive and unexpectedly have the engine shut off. I have diminished ability to safely steer and brake in these instances. This happens when going straight as well as when turning. The horn going crazy has happened when the vehicle shuts off.

My vehicle shuts down randomly. I can be going 55mph, 45 mph, 35mph, 25mph, 10mph, at a stop light, as well as turning, it has happened during any and all of those. No turn signals, power steering, brakes. Been happening months. 1 dealer and 2 mechanics cannot find any issue. Occured 7 times today in a 3 mile round trip.

2013 engine shuts off within first 7 minutes of driving. No warning it doesn't stall and radio gps and other components stay on just engine shuts off. This happens about 60% of the time. First time was on highway after driving 5 minutes going 60 mph shut off and it actually turned itself back out without me doing anything. Another time was after driving 3 minutes at a stop sign started to go and car shut off after 1/4 mile I had to pull over to restart. It's shut off dozens of times regardless of speed or location. 2nd to last time it happened I was going over railroad track at about 15 mph and last time it happened I was driving on highway at 70 mph. Once it happened in my driveway, I though idling it a while before driving would help but it shut off when I adjusted my steering wheel after idling for 7 mins.

Vehicle shuts down with no advance warning! there are no error or fault codes stored in the pcm. Very dangerous while operating on the highway. The vehicle is totally disabled when this occurs. The condition seems to be a common problem with Chrysler products as described on the internet. Someone (fed. Govt. ) should immediately launch an investigation into this serious and/or deadly situation. The vehicle has approximately 74000 miles on the odometer. Someone please help! today it happened three times.

Tl the contact owns a 2013 Chrysler town and country. While driving 50 mph, the vehicle shut off without warning. The contact pulled the vehicle over to the side of the road and turned the ignition off. When the vehicle was restarted, it performed normally. The contact drove the vehicle to the dealer (carman Chrysler Jeep Dodge, 196 s dupont hwy, new castle, DE 19720) and was informed that the failure would have to occur in their presence in order to assist. The manufacturer was contacted at 800-992-1997 and stated that the failure would have to occur in the dealer's presence. The failure mileage was 16,000.

While driving down the road my van has started shutting off! I have to coast to the side of the road and restart the engine. This has happened multiple times to me and also my husband. This is very dangerous and there is no warning signs before the engine shuts off, doesn't seem to matter what speed, it has shut off going 55, 30 and while pulling into a parking lot. It has been hooked up to a computer and no problem code has shown up.

While driving at about 15 to 20 mph the engine shut off with no steering assist or braking aid or anything powered. After coasting to a stop and shifting into park the engine started normally. There were no warning lights or other indicators of a problem. It was like the switch had simply been turned off except that it was physically still in the run position and had to be turned to off to attempt to restart the engine.

Multiple times windshield wipers began going and warning lights flashed inside the car and windows went down with out being powered and doors open and shut by themselves. Three times the car engine spontaneously shut down while driving losing power steering and brakes. Had it to multiple dealers - no code on the computer system so no one would do anything to fix it. Frequent conversations with customer service for Chrysler. . . Nothing they can do. We've been instructed by Chrysler to keel a journal every time our car shuts down while driving. . . That's their solution. Even with this journal (assuming my family continues to survive the shut downs where we lose control of the brakes and steering while moving down the road) if there is no code Chrysler will have no solution.
