The car has 25,000 miles on it. Starting out from my house down a hill the power steering and brakes were not working as apparently the engine stopped. I restarted and drove about 15 miles and was on I-26 in TN at 65 mph and the engine rpm dropped to 0, power brakes and steering were inoperable but I managed to get onto the shoulder but was in a dangerous spot with traffic speeding by. Car would start but I was afraid to drive it ass it was not safe if it cut out again on the interstate highway. Had it towed. Still not repaired and mechanic said it showed a code of both bank sensors. E has not found the problem as of yet but I understand Chrysler has had issues with engine stoppage. This is dangerous as my wife would not have been able to control the hard steering and brakes and likely would have wrecked.

Stalls without warning under all conditions. Engine and all electrical components (engine, lights, power brakes, power steering, interior lights, dashboard lights). This used to happen once and a while. Now it happens more than once a day. This is a major safety problem. Last time the car was at the Chrysler dealership they were unable to diagnose the problem. Do not buy a Chrysler minivan until this is addressed, they take responsibility for this daner, and there is a recall. Car has less than 40k miles. Most recently happened when travelling at about 20mph, while pulling out of a parking lot and into traffic on a busy road, temperature outside is 40f. City street. Car was already warm (had been driven about 10-miles prior to this happening. I'm only allowed to check three items for part of the car affected, but other systems were also effected including lighting, peed control, wipers, power seats, steering, elec stability control, air bags, tire pressure sensors, and other electrical systems.

My traction sensor is not working which is causing my a safety issue. When I start driving (in motion), the abs traction starts even when there is no water, ice or poor driving conditions. The dealership replaced the abs module and its still doing it. They now say they will have to replace the sensor in the steering column (wheel). This is very scary as it stops my acceleration and it affects the anti-lock breaks. I was hoping this was all due to an minor auto collision but the insurance company told me there is absolutely no way this could have been caused because of it. They said its a coincidence and that it just happened on its own at the same time. I would say the fault is unknown.

February 2017: latest problem - stalling unexpectedly while driving at low speed on parkway and local roads with no warning; check engine light came on - dealer replaced two O2 sensors at a cost of over $500, which did not fix problem; took for test drive and stalling continued-received call that tipm needed to be replaced at a cost of over $1,100 (service tech said it was a manufacturer defect but was not being covered by Chrysler) - if it is a defect they are aware of, shouldn't it be covered?.

Vehicle shuts off randomly while in motion on city streets going between 10 - 30 mph. The recall (r03) for this problem has been done and the shut-offs still happen. Unknown fault or problem. Several diagnostics done over the past 2 years, all to no avail. Engine tune up with plugs performed. Map sensor replaced. No error codes. Help us!!!.
I took my van in for a simple valve change because it was using a lot of oil on 2/15/16. A week and a half later I received my van back and it stalled in front of a tractor trailer truck. Van was returned to the dealership and they claimed to repair /install new gas pump, egr valve, gaskets, crank sensors etc. I received my van back on 4/2 claiming everything was repaired. The van was no longer stalling. On 4/3 while driving on the parkway, in heavy traffic my brakes, steering wheel locked and van shut off while driving. Just missed going over the guard rail. Again took th van back to the dealership, contacted Chrysler customer service which made the dealership owner very irate. My van was in the dealership from 2/15 to June. I got the run around about we are doing everything to repair your vehicle. Guess what, it is still not repaired the van continuously stall anytime you made a hard turn. It was at the point of no return. The longer the dealership had it the worse the van got. Meanwhile all of this extra stress is starting to affect my health. I paid for a $42,000 van and even Chrysler has no idea of how to fix it. I got fed up in June and asked to have the van returned back to me. After more than 3 months they were ever so happy to return the vehicle back to me. As of now I still don't have all the receipts of exactly what was done to the van. All I know is that I would never buy another Chrysler again because of the treatment received and their uncaring attitude about the safety of the vehicle. At this point I found out that I am not the only one with this stalling issue. I feel Chrysler is aware of it and don't know how to go about correcting it. The vehicle was in the dealership at the time on 2/15 for a recall for the ignition node(r03). I don't know if the recall initiated all the action or incompetence. I have towing receipts in excess of 100 miles.

The contact owns a 2011 Chrysler town country. While driving 50 mph, the steering wheel shook and made a humming noise. The failure occurred on numerous occasions. In addition, the blind spot sensor malfunctioned and created a constant beeping noise. Furthermore, the windows opened and closed by themselves. The vehicle started and locked from the inside on its own many times. Lastly, the brake pads melted and were replaced more than once. The vehicle was taken to be diagnosed, but was not repaired. The VIN was unknown. The failure mileage was 58,000.
November 9, 2011 had to replace rear brakes for the 2nd time in less than 2 years in ownership of vehicle. Tire sensor failed and tire deployed. April 4, 2013 additional tire sensors blow out or failed without any prior notification had to replace 3 tire sensors. Brakes also had to be replaced within a 15 month period. Less than 20,000 miles. There is clearly something wrong with the products/material used to construct this vehicle. 2013 heating unit appears to overheat my driver seat causing leather on seat to began to crack. Chrysler motors was place on written notice of these problems as early as January 18,2012 but failed to respond or do anything to address my concerns.

Brakes on 2008 Chrysler town and country prematurely worn at 23,000 miles. Brakes were inspected by an authorized dealer at 19,200 miles during a routine tire rotation and no notification of worn brake pads was given. At approximately 22,000 miles we began to hear a light grinding in the front right wheel during braking. We took the vehicle into an authorized dealer at 23,600 miles for inspection of the grinding, which had gotten significantly worse. I was notified that the brakes were down to metal on metal and the rotors were too far gone to resurface. Authorized dealer replaced the rotors, brake pads, and flushed and replaced the brake fluid at the owner's expense of $575. This appears to be premature for pads to go to metal on metal at only 23,600 miles with no prior notification. There was no warning of worn brake pads such as a wear sensor or indicator which causes a squealing in the brakes on most vehicles. First indication that the pads were worn was when the metal on metal sound was heard.
