1 Radio/tape Cd Player problem

Failure Date: 08/02/2017

We purchased our Town & Country new in 2012. We've put just over 51,000 miles on it. It's been a great vehicle. We've been to florida and back twice (21 hr drive), and all over the eastern half of the country. It was a great vehicle thus far so I expected it to last until well over 51,000 miles. All of a sudden a few months ago, while driving, the van would just shut off. Loss of power steering, radio off, nothing. You have to attempt to pull over to the side of the road with no power steering, put the vehicle in park, and turn it back on. It does this randomly. It's done it while I've been on a highway driving 65 mph and it's done it in town driving 25-30 mph. We never know when it will happen. It's extremely dangerous, could potentially kill my family, and it's amazing how many of the same story I've read about this vehicle. We've taken it to be diagnosed and looked at multiple times and no one can find anything wrong with it. It's paid off so it's going bye bye. Won't ever buy a Chrysler again.

2 Radio/tape Cd Player problem

Failure Date: 07/09/2015

Failed to stay shut off after being parked in the garage, evidently ran out of gas. I opened the garage door the next morning to over 120 degrees, the van steering wheel was to hot to touch, I pushed the start button and the screen said "system is hot" . I know I had shut the van off because the radio stops playing when you open the door after turning it off. Now the van won't run. I had it towed to a dealership for repair. It could have burned my home down! after checking complaints online could this be an issue with tipm? is there a recall for this yet?.

3 Radio/tape Cd Player problem

Failure Date: 01/22/2015

This is my third complaint of this issue, and its 7th occurrence. First time at dealership they could not find problem, only tested battery and said it was good and sent me back on my way. Second time at dealership, they think they found the problem and put in an entire new wireless ignition module and two new sets of keys, go to pick it up tonight all *fixed* and its dead. . . Again. . . Same as before. . 7th time in two weeks, third time at Chrysler dealership. Car will not start, no power, no nothing, no attempt. Everything is turned off nightly, all interior lights, cabin lights, radio, nothing plugged in locked and checked and dead in the morning. Why must I keep going through this. How many times am I going to be stranded and sit and wait hours to be towed and go through this over and over again??? this is a safety issue, what if next time I am stranded with my young children? but Chrysler can't find anything/?.

4 Radio/tape Cd Player problem

Failure Date: 01/19/2015

This is the 5th time in less than two weeks!!! how many times is this going to happen? it has already been to Chrysler who somehow can't find anything wrong!! on its way getting towed again back to the dealership. 5 times the battery has died for no apparent cause. Of course I am not over paranoid and go through the trouble every single time I am done driving to turn off the interior lights, turn off the radio wait for every single light to turn off and take pictures of all lights off and guess what . . . Dead? but the battery tested fine according to dealership and found nothing on the scans. When they jump it, lasts for less than 24 hours, when they charge it, lasts for 4 days each time. Wont start, no electrical, nothing turns on, fob don't work. . . . Awesome! hope Chrysler is enjoying footing this bill for towing, labor and rentals every time cause I certainly am not enjoying missing work, endangering the welfare of my children in the middle of winter, being stranded at hospice and every minute so they can tell me they can't find a problem!!!!!.
