1 Starter problem

Failure Date: 02/01/2021

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.

2 Starter problem

Failure Date: 03/05/2019

My 2013 Chrysler town and country keep cutting off while I was driving even on the highway which is very dangerous with 6 children in the car. I took it to the dealer to diagnose the problem nothing read on his machine so he referred me to Chrysler. I took had it towed to Chrysler who said it was the starter after misdiagnosing my car they told me it was the totally integrated power module and it would cost $1700 after I already had to pay 548 for a new starter. I chose to have my car towed back home as I could not afford to pay that amount and a car payment. After further research I discovered this to be a common problem with Chrysler town and country where they have settled class action suit in 2006 for this issue causing deaths in California and in 2012 in south carolina. The tipm(totally integrated power module) has been a common problem in the Chrysler town and country. My car was in motion several times and cut off and then just would not start. I had to have it towed to my home and then to Chrysler in lawrenceville.
