Engine Shut Off Without Warning Problems of Chrysler Town & Country - part 2

Our Town & Country turns off while driving. Soon after it has been turned on. It has happened at low speeds and while at a stop. Once it shuts off, it won't restart until sitting for several hours. Both our local car mechanic and the Chrysler dealership have inspected the car and can't find anything wrong. No error codes show up. Thankfully it has only happened while I've been in relatively safe situations, like parking lots or backing out of my garage. But the safety concerns are huge, if this happens in an intersection or highway. There was a formal investigation done in 2014 with regards to the timp, of which the town and country was ultimately not included. Attched are repair invoices from both our mechanic and from the Chrysler dealership.

My wife was backing out of a driveway, the engine shut off and the power brakes and power steering didn't work. The vehicle drifted into the road because she was unable to stop in time. There were no other cars involved in the incident.

When driving the engine shuts down and and I loose control of my brakes and steering.

Vehicle started having issues in 2014. Vehicle just would not crank one morning. Got a jump start and took it to autozone and got a new battery. About 3 months later the same thing happened. Got a jump start, went to autozone and they found nothing wrong with battery, alternator or starter. Autozone gave me a new battery anyway. About 4 months later, happened again. Brought vehicle to Chrysler for win module recall fix and explained what was happening. They said handling the recall and a new battery should fix the problem. About 2 months later, had the same problem. Chrysler replace win module again and I got Chrysler to replace battery at this time as I explained that the battery was being affected due to the part that was being recalled. All was fine for about a year or so and then started happening again. Brought it back to Chrysler and they said battery had a dead cell. I explained that they had just put the battery in about a year ago and it should be under warranty. They told me, "we don't do warranty replacements on warranty replacements". So, I am just dealing with the battery right now. Most recently, about 3 months ago, dash board warning lights started all coming in at the same time. Then they would all go off and one side of the dash illumination would go out. Next start up, illumination would be fine again. This happened several times over a couple of months. Then, one day while driving, the power steering went out, the traction light came on and the vehicle shut off! was able to put vehicle in neutral and restart. This happened a few times in a month, but was always ok after one restart. Now, it keeps happening and only lasts a few minutes before needing to be restarted again. Afraid that this is going to happen while turning across oncoming traffic or in a situation where we can not pull over to safety and will get rear-ended.

The van shut off with no warning at all. My kids mother said that two tractor trailer miss them by a hair pin driving down interstate 95 south in va. She had no steering control and brakes at all. Could not restart the engine after she put it in neutral. Had to come to a complete stop in the center lane of a three lane highway 95s . She very scare afraid that someone was going to plow in back of her our two kids. She had to put the gear shift back in park to restart the van. You educated people know this is happen all across american and you letting people put there life in danger ,why because big Chrysler company rules.

I believe that the tipm fuel pump relay is causing the issues. It has left the fuel pump on when the engine and power was off with the key out of the vehicle. It has many time cranked without starting, while stationary with the engine cold and also while hot. Last night it shutoff the engine while driving down the highway followed by cranking without starting.

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.

While driving engine shut off,.

Engine shuts off while in motion in drive mode. This happens at any rate of speed, 70 mph to 10 mph, in good weather conditions, on the highway and local streets, driving straight or turning slightly. The abs module tested bad 9 months ago and was replaced by auto electric specialists of houston. This did not solve the problem. I have not had the ecm replaced. My Chrysler dealership cannot find the problem and has told me to keep driving and to bring the car in right away if the issue happens again. The car scares me!!! it has shut off three times now in the last year. I wonder if this is the same problem that has now been reported with the 2017 Chrysler pacifica?.

While driving down the road my van has started shutting off! I have to coast to the side of the road and restart the engine. This has happened multiple times to me and also my husband. This is very dangerous and there is no warning signs before the engine shuts off, doesn't seem to matter what speed, it has shut off going 55, 30 and while pulling into a parking lot. It has been hooked up to a computer and no problem code has shown up.

Was driving down the road and the horn started blowing and the wind shield wipers went full speed and the motor turned off in the middle of the highway. They told me it was the tipm was bad and they have a ton of these vehicles with this problem! it is a very expensive fix and should be a recall item due to it being a safety problem! the vehicle shuts down and you loose all power! I have seen online other issues where the air bags actually deployed. I am so scared to drive this vehicle because I don't know if it will malfunction again!! it has happen at least 3 times already.

My Town & Country shuts down while I am driving. There is no pattern to when it shuts down. I may drive 20 miles with no problem and other times it will shut down 1 or 2 times within that distance. Had it to the Chrysler certified dealer for repairs and $1400 later the problem was still there. . This problem is been going on for couple months and no one has been able to resolve the issue. Not even the Chrysler. I am scared to drive the car and had a car accident.

I was driving and the engine shuts off then I stopped and tty to restarted and fail. It has the fuel tank almost full, the starter was clinking but it was not running.

The engine shuts down while the vehicle is in motion. This has happened 3 times at less than 15 mph on my private road and 1 time at ~30 mph on a public road through town. I have only owned this vehicle a couple of months and the previous owner purchased the vehicle from a dealer in January only owned the vehicle.

My Chrysler town and country had performed the recall on the ignition switch however my van still shuts down while driving. At first it started upon morning when first starting out the day, but now it shuts off even after 45 minutes of driving the vehicle causing me to loose control of the steering and having to be cautious so that I wont be rear ended or worse. I have taking it in to be diagnosed but the technicians after having the van hooked up to their diagnostic machine are still unable to see anything wrong. No error codes are showing. Also now, while parked and the engine off with no keys. . . My doors will just open by themselves or automatically lock. It did it yesterday morning however my car was running, the van locked sounding my alarm that sounded as if I had pressed the key to lock. I hope that someone can call or email me to give an explanation what could be the problem as well as how I can resolve this problem,.

The vehicle I have shuts down while I am driving. The Chrysler dealership has tried to fix the problem but has not been able to fix it. 1. The following actions were performed by the mechanic software update engine control unit on 26 January 2017 but this did not fix it the problem and kept shutting while driving. 66. 60 euros. 2. Mechanic test drove vehicle and since the problem did not occur asked us to bring the vehicle back in a week. Problem not fix. 3. On 16 March 2017 the vehicle was taken back to Chrysler dealership.

Engine pressure check camshafts and crankshaft sensor and reprogrammed vehicle. Also, they told me that they took apart the evc and welded a cable. 85 euros spent. The following day the car shut off while driving again. I had asked the dealership what I needed to do if the vehicle shut off again. They told me to sell the car or junk it. I asked how I can sell a defective vehicle that's 5 years old? they told me to contact Chrysler customer care. I am awaiting answer from Chrysler customer care. Reference number 35128943. I have almost had accidents because of this and inform Chrysler this. Should I be seeking legal action against Chrysler? should Chrysler buy my vehicle back? what are my options?

We had just turned into our subdivision and all the lights in the dash illuminated, the windshield wipers turned on and then while driving down the road the engine shut off. We were traveling at a low speed so when the van came to a stop we were able to restart it. The dealership didn't sound to concerned and are going to look at the van on Thursday. I'm extremely disappointed with their response as this could have easily happened with my kids in the car when it was traveling at a higher rate of speed.

When driving the vehicle this morning at approximately 7 a. M. Period on major road in lake orion michigan when driving in approximately 40 miles per hour. The car shut down, turned off. Steering wheel locked up. While daughter was in the car also. Had to pull off in the middle of the major road. No codes appeared on the dash. Full tank of gas. Just had the oil changed the day before. At friendly Chevrolet in lapeer michigan. Already notified the dealership. They advised with no codes not sure if they can help out at all. They were very helpful though. And courteous.

This vehicle experiences intermittent engine shut off with no warning. There is no indication on the dashboard prior to this happening. The vehicle is always in motion and it seems to happen at slower speeds. It starts up immediately after this happens. This problem is described in safety recall l25. I've contacted Chrysler and they tell me that my vehicle is not part of the recall. I've had it examined by a dealer and they were not able to recreate the problem. This has happened multiple times over the last 6 months. Most recently it happened on 3/13/2017 and 3/12/2017. The vehicle is currently in the dealership's service department. My wife and daughter will not drive the vehicle due to safety concerns.

Engine shuts off while driving. Feb-8, 2017 was fourth time this occurred in last 4 months. Has happened while stopped at a light, turning left into an intersection, and driving 35mph straight on a city street. Weather has been both warm and cold, van has been well warmed up or recently-started; there doesn't seem to be a noticeable pattern. The behavior is similar to what it would be if the key fob was turned from on to acc -- e. G. The radio is still playing but the engine shuts off. All power to brakes and steering is lost; I don't know if the airbags are still functioning at this point. In all four cases, the car was easily re-started by first turning the key fob to off, then started again. This is obviously a major safety issue as it can occur seemingly at any time, without notice.

On several occasions now, while in motion usually under 15 mph and slight downgrade, usually when cold. Although it did happen once at 40 mph and another time when engine was warm. The vehicle totally losses power, engine shuts off but the traction control light comes on. Radio and everything else continue to work. Put car in neutral or park and restart. Seems ok after that. It has been getting progressively worse. Feel it very dangerous. My mechanic said the vehicle has no codes so he doesn't know what it is.

While driving the vehicle, always under 40mph, the traction control light comes on, I lose power steering, the engine shuts down, all lights and radio is down. So far I have been able to put it in neutral and restart. This morning I hit a curb going around the round about taking my kids to school. This has been going on over a year. It doesn't matter if its cold or hot, raining or sunny. It will go a month with nothing and then in one day it will die 6 times. We have been to private mechanics we have been to two different Chrysler dealers and they have checked the erg valve and the key fob, the ignition switch, they have check the battery, ran down all the electrical stuff, they had it for 2 days last week and couldn't figure it out. It's died on my 4 times this week. I have four kids and I'm always in the van and now I'm scared to drive it! we checked the VIN and there is no recall as we already did the vent window. But the recalls that are listed describe exactly what is happening. So Chrysler knows and doesn't care! you cannot just recall certain batches when there are clearly other vehicles doing the same problem. What is Chrysler prepared to do for a family when they are seriously injured in an accident because of their van! can't trade it in. Don't have the money to take the loss, wtf are consumers supposed to do with these vans. We are the original owners of the 2010 t&c, I love this van but it scares me to death! I just want it fixed! I mean I love roller coasters too but if one kept going off the tracks I'm not damn sure I wouldn't ride it or put my family on it. Please Chrysler fix these cars!.

While driving usually at low speeds (20 mph or less) the car shuts off, the steering and brakes lock when this happens. It seems to happen the most when I am coasting around a curve or coming up to a stop. This has happened recently while driving over 35 mph. I have had both of the recall repairs done but this is still happening at an increasing rate. It began in June and would occur once every couple of weeks now it happens every day.
