Lose Power Steering problems of the 2013 Chrysler Town & Country

2013 Chrysler town and country stalls with now warning or error cause car to lose power steering and coast to a stop. It has happened with no patter at various speeds and types of driving. It is a very dangerous as it has happened many times often at hight speeds and in traffic. I have seen that many others have had this same safety issue and no resolution has come of it.

I was driving down my street, going around 25 mph, and the 1st thing I noticed was that I had lost the power steering. The kids were watching a dvd, that stayed on along with the normal interior lights however when I applied pressure to the gas pedal to attempt to pull over the car wouldn't respond to that. I realized then that the engine had shut off while I was driving! thankfully I was able to drift to the side of the road. I parked, turned off the van and then restarted it. Everything came back on and was working again. The mechanic can't figure out what the problem is and Chrysler is claiming no one has ever reported this problem before. A simple google search proves them wrong.

As I was backing out of a parking space, I lost power steering and power brakes. Steering was very stiff and brakes were hard. It was similar to when the car stalls, but the car was still running. I put the car in drive and attempted to pull forward. Still no power steering or power brakes. I put the car in park and no change. I turned off the vehicle, waited a minute or two and then restarted it. Car was fine then. When this occurred, no indicators lit on the dash. I took the car to the dealer and they were unable to replicate the problem or determine any cause of the problem. They did not test drive the car, as it still had the same mileage as when I dropped it off.
