38 Electronic Stability Control problem of the 2012 Chrysler Town & Country

Failure Date: 01/12/2019

1) the third row pier folding seats have twice been inadvertently activated by a child touching the button, and narrowly escaping being crushed by the folding seat. Also, the seat jammed in the half folded position and the dealership wanted $2600+ to fix it. The power folding seats are a death trap if someone cannot get out of the way when the button has been activated. 2) twice now, the electrical system has been flashing random codes- the tire pressure gauge when the tire pressure is fine, the abs and traction light, and also weird Mini rough idles at very low speeds in heavy traffic. It is a repeat problem that the shop seems to only temporarily fix.

39 Electronic Stability Control problem of the 2009 Chrysler Town & Country

Failure Date: 12/20/2018

My car stops while driving down the road without warning, easily restarts after shifting into neutral. However, rpm goes to zero, lose power steering. Did not have this issue prior to key fob recall. It has done this several times, usually when weather is colder like 30 degree. Have also notice blind spot aid system will periodically not function. Heated seat light occasionally do not function. The blind spot and heated seats are minor compared to car stopping dead. It did recently while going around a curve and was very scary. I've taken it to two different dealers and they state there are no engine codes showing. I told my husband if I die in a vehicle crash, especially if rear ended or while turning to sue Chrysler. Do not have this problem in warm weather. I'm afraid to have anyone in my vehicle, especially my five grandkids. I stay off interstates because of this, and have spent more time looking behind me for possibly getting rear ended. There is no warning when this might happen. One dealership told me to bring it in when it happens, which I have no idea when it will happen. Its like playing russian roulette while getting behind the wheel. This can happen anytime, driving 55, 35, 25 mph, while going straight, or twice while turning. I think it has to do with the electrical system, or perhaps the ignition system and key fob recall. My car has 84330 miles. It's happened three times in the last two months. Frequency seems to be getting greater.

42 Electronic Stability Control problem of the 2011 Chrysler Town & Country

Failure Date: 11/23/2018

To begin with vehicle would start after, sometimes until after several attemps. It also stopped while driving, just went dead and locked up the whole steering wheel, with the vehicle still rolling. Was just lucky to get off the roadway with no accident. Progressively it got worse, and wouldn't even start at all. Took to reputable repair shop, who said was a recall issue and they weren't able to order the part for repair, because of recall. Informed had to go to dealer for repair. Dealer said this particular VIN was not on recall although issue had been identified as recall issue. Meanwhile, charged me $1275. 83 for repair listing "cause - no power at fuel pump check no power fuse m25, fuse m25 controlled by internal relay in tpim". Fuse m25 needs tpim was $207. 81. Then "tipm kit tipm" was $977. 00. Plus labor and tax. Problem - both indicated this type of vehicle had same issues and were on recall. It is reasonable to expect that my vehicle should have been covered under recall. Please help me recover on this issue.

43 Electronic Stability Control problem of the 2016 Chrysler Town & Country

Failure Date: 11/08/2018

My steering controls do not work. The steering wheel controls dont work and cruise control does not work. The controls for the speedometer for digital use do not work. There is only 36000 miles on the car and the part to fix is unavailable. The question is why no recall when u cant order the part so obviously everyone is having an issue and this not working could have prevented 2 accidents that have occurred had the horn worked like it should.

45 Electronic Stability Control problem of the 2011 Chrysler Town & Country

Failure Date: 10/22/2018

The power shuts off or the car won't start after the key is taken out. I was told by the mechanic I went to that something with the spark plugs was firing incorrectly so I had that replaced. I also had my auto start removed because I was told that was affecting the battery and finally I was told the fuel pump was constantly running which was draining my battery. I was told to pull the fuse for the fuel pump until I can have the part replaced, which is tedious and that still don't work all the time. It is my understanding that the part has been on back order since December. At this point I am very frustrated and I don't feel safe driving this car until the issue is resolved. The blind spot lights also remain on.

46 Electronic Stability Control problem of the 2009 Chrysler Town & Country

Failure Date: 10/09/2018

47 Electronic Stability Control problem of the 2010 Chrysler Town & Country

Failure Date: 09/15/2018

Vehicle stalls while driving the car on city street and highway. No warning and it loses all power. Steering wheel locks and the only thing I can do is brake to stop the car. This has happened 3 times now with my kids in the car with me. Not safe at all and for some reason my VIN is not in the recall about this issue.

48 Electronic Stability Control problem of the 2011 Chrysler Town & Country

Failure Date: 09/15/2018

Tipm failure, dealership wants to charge me over $1000. 00 to repair. Van started acting up in the electrical department . Windows rolling down, key fob not working, cruise control going out, wipers acting up, heated seats not working, ac and heat weakening, intermittent issue to start the van, then stopped running all together, now won't even turn over. Then I took it to dealership after having battery and alternator tested (all good) and had to bring it home cause they wouldn't take a payment plan. I looked on youtube for possible issues and fixes and checked my wiring to my tipm and found one harness tampered with. Tape cut and wires cut as well didn't look lik that when I took it in. I'm upset because I can't afford to replace something this expensive and common known issue. Why is there no recall on this model but other models running this same tipm? this is a cheap way for Chrysler to get more money out of us. Make this a recall, I can only imagine what could've happened if it would've stalled with my 3 kids in the car on a highway!!! get us a recall on this issue!!!!!.

51 Electronic Stability Control problem of the 2008 Chrysler Town & Country

Failure Date: 08/01/2018

The van will shut off while driving on the road the steering and brakes didn't work, I have to make sure I make it to the side of the road because it doesn't always want to start. It could be 5 or 10 minutes before I get it to start and I have had to leave it on the side of the road over night until the next day and have a tow truck pick it up. . I could of been killed or killed someone else. The horn, windshield wipers and window wiper water is spraying, flash lights flashing randomly go on at any time some times while I'm driving, some times late at night and the only way to stop all of this is to disconnect the battery or let it keep going until the battery drains. The speedometer goes on when I open the door but when I turn the vehicle on the speedometer goes off/blank. This scares me I'm afraid to drive it!.

52 Electronic Stability Control problem of the 2008 Chrysler Town & Country

Failure Date: 06/25/2018

On 6/25, while driving down the highway I experienced some type of a power surge. The car started bucking, the a/c went off the horn started going off, the wipers started going off, the engine started revving. I was able to get off the parkway and pull into a parking lot. The things kept on happening until I turned the vehicle off. I tried to restart the vehicle, but it seemed like the vehicle was dead. Nothing worked. I had to have the vehicle towed to my house. On 6/27 I tried to start the vehicle and it srarted right up. I turned it off and tried to restart it, but again everything was dead. On 6/30 without doing anything the lights in the vehicle started flashing, the rear windshield washer started squirted washer fluid until it was empty, but the washer motor kept on operating. This lasted for about 20 minutes until it finally stopped. I attemptd to start the vehicle, but once again everything was dead. I was actually afraid while I was driving the vehicle, because of all the safety implications. When is a safety recall going to be issued? these problems could have deadly results.

53 Electronic Stability Control problem of the 2010 Chrysler Town & Country

Failure Date: 03/03/2018

While driving the car in town it has now (3rd time) randomly shut off. It has happen while going anywhere from 10-40 mph. The traction light flashes for a quick second and then you lose all power. This includes the breaks and steering. Was able to coast to the side of the road. Put the car in park and start the car back up and it has run fine. It has become more frequent recently and is a very serious situation as we have avoided an accident twice with other cars around us almost hitting us. This should be recalled as I have read over 200 different reports on various sites. We took to a dealer and they were not able to get a code to pin point what is wrong. I have heard the erg valve was replaced on some and it has solve this issue. If Chrysler doesn't want to look into this reoccurring problem it is horrible. I hope a death doesn't have to occur before they look into this.

Failure Date: 01/15/2018

Blind spot monitoring system failed because sensor module got wet on the inside. Sensor module not sealed on correctly. Connector also corroded because of salt being used on streets here in ohio during winter months. This is the second time this system has failed for the same problem. Talked to service managers at 2 different Chrysler dealerships and were told by both that this is a common problem with this part and their opinion it is a design flaw with this part due to its exposure to the elements.

58 Electronic Stability Control problem of the 2008 Chrysler Town & Country

Failure Date: 12/13/2017

All four brake system lights are lite up. Steering has become loose and steering wheel wobbles. I have changed the pads on brakes 4 times in a year and my rotors are still very grooved. Dust is sucking up into the cab of the vehicle for no reason. There is a knocking coming from the engine that sometimes is there but most of the time its present was told by the dealer I bought from that was normal in these vans. Has a hard time coming to a stop now. I can not believe this has not been recalled codes on machine that are indicated are c2200 and c2205 which are ridiculous to buy and from what I have read everyone is having problems with them.

59 Electronic Stability Control problem of the 2010 Chrysler Town & Country

Failure Date: 11/24/2017

While driving on the highway all the warning lights came on and the vehicle died. Total loss of control. Pulled over on the side of road. I had no power, no emergency lights. After about 10 minutes I started the car and was able to drive home. The same problem persisted and I took it to the dealership to have the problem analyzed. The dealership was not able to find the problem and told me to take the vehicle home. Since the problem continued I returned to the dealership three more time and they still were not able to find the problem. The last time the vehicle was in the shop called the Chrysler corporation and they called the dealership. The Chrysler corporation was given the same story. I researched on the internet to attempt to find out if other owners had similar problems, there were several reported but their dealerships could not identify the problem either. I have not used the vehicle since the dealership checked it, several people have inquire about buying the vehicle but I am afraid to sell it and have them driving on a highway/freeway at 70mph and the vehicle stops and an accident happens. Can you help??????.

60 Electronic Stability Control problem of the 2009 Chrysler Town & Country

Failure Date: 10/31/2017

The vehicle was in park and running in a parking lot. The van had been running and in motion for approximately 10 minutes prior to arriving at the parking lot where it was then placed into park and left running while waiting for my kids to get out of school. Radio on, heat on then with no warning at all the vehicle shut off, lost all power. I was unable to remove the key from the ignition. It would not go into the off position allowing me to remove the key. I tried to turn the key to the various positions to start the car and nothing happened. Auto locks would not unlock, the car was completely dead. I sat for about 5 minutes in a panic trying to figure out how cars I was blocking were going to get out of their parking spots. Then the van suddenly started up on its own. My hands were not on the keys, nowhere near the ignition and it just started up. What would have happened if this occurred while I was driving and in motion and even worse traveling at a high speed???? there should be a recall on this issue as it is a major safety concern. The vehicle did receive the recall fix for the issue with ignition a couple years back and now I wonder if that was even the real issue since my van randomly shut off on me for no reason at all whatsoever. I don't know if there are any other official reports but a google search pulls up many others having the same issue this year with various years of the town and country and the reports are recent.

64 Electronic Stability Control problem of the 2010 Chrysler Town & Country

Failure Date: 09/09/2017

My vehicle almost daily will stall out and die while in motion on roadways. The traction control light comes on, the power steering fails and the car dies. This generally happens between 30-40 mph and often times multiple times a day. The radio and other components will remain on but I have to turn it off and pump it to get it to restart. I have seen hundreds of forums that list this as a current complaint with this year range of town and country's.

65 Electronic Stability Control problem of the 2013 Chrysler Town & Country

Failure Date: 08/07/2017

My vehicle started shutting off while parked it would shut complety down as if the batter had been disconnected, but it would always restart and I would have to reset my radio clock. After about a week of this happening, it began to have trouble starting. It would turn and turn like a vehicle out of gas. Eventually it would start at some point after I stopped trying and let it sit for awhile. My vehicle then shut down twice while driving at about 45 miles and hour, but it started up. I took it to pep boys to get diagnostic testing and was told the tpim module is going bad and this would cost over $1400 to repair. I was totally shocked by how many complaints I have read online about the town and country as well as other Chryslers and dodges having this problem, but more shocked at the fact that this problem isn't being recalled in the town and country. This is dangerous and really makes me never want to buy another Chrysler again. It really sucks because this repair is much too costly for an american made car. I really trust that enough people will let it be known so something can be done about this, and this problem can be fixed by Chrysler.

66 Electronic Stability Control problem of the 2010 Chrysler Town & Country

Failure Date: 06/23/2017

2010 Chrysler Town & Country completely shuts off while driving, rpms dropped below 1 and power steering completely gone. Took car to my mechanic was told win module, towed car to local Chrysler dealer and paid diagnostic fee after being told that recall had already been completed, only to be told by dealer that fuel pump bad and battery needs to be charged. I am doubting the fuel pump would cause car to completely shut down. This is very unsafe and could have been potentially fatal as I had my young children in the car and was seconds away from heading over a big bridge.

67 Electronic Stability Control problem of the 1998 Chrysler Town & Country
