Gas Recirculation Valve (egr Valve) Problems of Chrysler Town & Country - part 2

I have a Chrysler 2008 town and country with 66000 miles on it. While driving my van at approx 35 miles per hour the van suddenly flashed the electronic throttle control light, check engine light, and slippery condition light. The van lost the ability to press on the gas pedal and make it go. It continued to idle down the road, but the gas pedal made no difference on the speed I was going. I idled into a driveway, turned the van off, let it sit for approx 30 minutes, then restarted the van. The van started fine, but while driving it home it did the same thing. I idled the last 1/2 mile home to get the van in the driveway. The next morning I made a service appointment and drove the van to the dealership. It stopped running one time on the drive, which is approx 5 miles away from my house. I again had to stop the vehicle, put it in park, and restart the vehicle. The dealership called and said that it was a wire going to the electronic throttle control that needed to be repaired. I see that there was a service bulletin regarding this issue in the 2010 town and country and didn't know if the same bulletin applied to the 2008. I feel that this is a major safety issue as the van loses all ability to get up and go. Had I been driving on the highway when it lost all power I could have caused a major accident! within the past month we have also replaced the egr valve, the power steering fluid line, and the power harnesses on the door. They are now taking apart the engine because it is making a "lifter tapping" noise.

This is more a drive-ability problem rather than a safety problem. My vehicles check engine light turned on. The code said the egr valve was bad and needed to be replaced. When I went looking for a part I found that there were so many of these failures that the part would be back ordered and I could not be told when the part would be in. This was a known problem back in 2005 and Chrysler never fixed it. Because of the egr failure the vehicle gets poorer gas mileage and produces more pollution.

Check engine light came on. Had vehicle diagnostics test done at local Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep dealer. Bad egr valve to blame. Found out through mechanic and online forums this is a common problem. Also, the egr valve replacement is on national back order by over 6000!!! definitely should be recalled!!!!!.

Egr valve needs replacement after only 55,000 miles/ 88,000 km, check engine light came on. Dealership-only item, quantity 6000 on back-order. Why only dealership item? why 6000 on back order?? fuel economy in low double-digits, causing excessive fuel usage and pollution. Pls help.

Chrysler"s best kept secret, flaws in the cylinder heads of their new 283 hp v6 engine. The engine over heats at highway speeds, mine ran as high as 244 degrees f. And the ac would not work on a hot day and a long trip. The dealer did not know about this problem. I went on the internet and for $56. 00 I knew all about it in 5 minutes. If I had known about the problem ahead of time I would not have spent $32,000. 00 for the head ache. I showed my information to the service manager and he called me and told me I was right! now he has to find new improved heads. As of this date I have been without my automobile for a week ! I emailed Chrysler an all I got back was a form letter telling me they were sorry and to see my dealer. This is my last Chrysler after a long relationship. From past experiences the engine will never be the same as a factory built engine!.

While driving at low speed in a residential area (less than 20 mph) on a very hot day, the engine suddenly stalled out and all power lost while driving, twice within 5 minutes. I was not low on fuel. The first incident occurred while turning left at an intersection on a steep downhill, the second incident occurred within five minutes on a slight 20 degree downhill/straightaway. Each time, I was able to turn the key in the ignition to restart the engine, which restarted promptly. I took the minivan to the dealer within the hour who could not find any error codes on the computer check.
