Horn Assembly Problems of Chrysler Town & Country - part 1

The horn cannot honked by pressing the steering wheel cover. It seems that the clock spring or the horn switch in the steering wheel are defective. Both fuses for the horn are good. The horn still works when the panic button is pressed on the remote key fob.

While driving my van, especially at speeds of 20-30 miles per hour, shuts off , leaving me with no electric brakes or steering, no acceleration, nothing. This has been happening intermittently for a couple years. The mechanics at aaa have trouble recreating the problem. About 14 months ago they replaced the tipm . The electronic aspects of the van were haywire, dash lights flashing, born blaring etc. This is also occurring again but the tipm isn't the issue according to aaa. It is terrifying to drive and unexpectedly have the engine shut off. I have diminished ability to safely steer and brake in these instances. This happens when going straight as well as when turning. The horn going crazy has happened when the vehicle shuts off.

Front wipers start without engaging button, when this happens water fluid pours out back window reservoir. Then for some reason horn starts going off at the same time. Did not they were even connected. I have to unplug battery to stop.

The horn was honking, windshield wipers and wiper fluid going off, rear wipers, flashers going and ignition stalling while driving,.

Since purchase, the vehicle has had multiple erratic no starts, caution lights illuminate, wipers activate, horn sound off, and an array of other electrical bugs. After taking the vehicle to the dealership multiple times with could not duplicate actions, I was told that the floor mat was sticking under the pedal contacting a sensor causing the no start issues, which is documented on their service report. Since then, we have dealt with the issues as they were sporadic. Now, the no start condition has led to the replacement of the tipm unit as well as 2 fuel pumps. It was towed today for the same faulty conditions that led to the expensive repairs. While we have had issues with intermittent electrical bugs while moving, the majority of our issues have involved no movement as the most common issue is the no start condition. My vehicle has been in the shop the last 3 weeks, required two tows, and is continuously burning up fuel pumps. Chrysler has not modified/re-engineered their tipm unit according to the dealership as the part number has never changed. I am concerned that I have another faulty tipm module causing damage to my vehicle, which has decreased the reliability. All of my receipts are in the glove box of the vehicle which is sitting at the dealership, so I cannot upload the documents showing the repairs right now.

Wipers and horn can not be turned off even when switches are off . They came on automatic while driving also rear wipers and washers also.

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!.

My wife was driving on two different occasions and the van stalled, completely powered off. All electrical systems suddenly started acting in very abnormal ways. The wipers turned on as well as sprayed. The horn started going off, the locks on the doors gut stuck. All warning lights on the dashboard turned on. The ac quit working. The biggest problem is the two occasions the van just quit working going 40 to 60mph and the brakes and power steering not responding. This I think is major safety issues because my two little kids were with her in the van.

Tl the contact owns a 2009 Chrysler town and country. The contact stated that the low beam headlights and turn signals stopped working and the horn continuously sounded. The contact had to remove the fuse in order to stop the horn failure. The manufacturer acknowledged the failure with the lights; however, they could not assist with the repair cost since there was no recall. The dealer (courtesy motor sales inc, 3100 pleasant valley blvd, altoona, PA 16602, (814) 942-9000) offered to schedule an appointment with an upfront fee for diagnostic testing. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was 162,000.

2008 Chrysler town country. Consumer writes in regards to smoking engine compartment, defective a/c and ramp door. The consumer stated the vehicle's failures began within the first week of owning it. While driving , all electrical power shut off. The engine would not shut off and began to smoke excessively with water gushing from the engine compartment. The horn randomly went off and was disabled by disconnecting the battery. The vehicle has shut off while driving and the steering wheel locked up simultaneously. While attempting to reverse out of the garage, the vehicle went forward instead and stalled out.

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.

At intermittent times the horn goes off and the windshield wipers turn on and it squirts washer fluid. Sometimes while stationary and sometimes while driving. The vehicle will shut down on its own whether driving slow on a side street or at highway speeds. This started last spring (2016). I've read numerous reports of this happening and that it is the tipm module. I spoke to the dealer last year about it and they said there was no recall issued. I've also seen that this has not been considered a safety issue. How so? this is very much a safety issue and it needs to be a recall. Electrical systems are not a mechanical �wear and tear� item. I don't have any documentation of an incident yet and I hope my wife and kids don't have have one!.

The contact owns a 2008 Chrysler town and country. While parking the vehicle, the engine failed to shut off. The contact also mentioned that various controls began to malfunction as the horn and windshield wipers independently activated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the tipm failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The local dealer and manufacturer were not notified. The failure mileage was approximately 109,000.

Vehicle shuts off while driving. How can this problem, addressed literally hundreds and thousands of times on multiple sites, be judged by your department as not a "safety issue"? I, along with my wife, have been driving down the road with my family at highway speeds and the van completely shuts down. I have been driving down my driveway at low speeds and the van completely shuts down. The van behaves as if possessed. The horn blares, front and rear wipers come on by themselves, flashers come on by themselves, doors lock by themselves, washer fluid sprays on its own at a high volume. I have decided, since NHTSA, Chrysler, and my local dealership can't/won't help, that I will call an exorcist. I believe the exorcist will be about as much help as the three of you combined. I assume if my beautiful wife and daughter are killed as a result of the engine shutting off at random speeds one of you three will pay the funeral expense? or at least send some flowers to the visitation? how nice of you. Or should I just contact the exorcist again and see if she has a friend that could hold a seance so I can tell them how much I loved them and that their safety was just not a priority for you? seriously. It is time to do something. I do not have the kind of money the dealership is asking me to pay for a widely known and accepted defect in the manufacturing process of their vehicle. The total integrated power module (tipm) is faulty. Everyone knows it. The company acknowledges it. Thousands have been replaced at the owner's expense. When is someone going to step up? how many people have to die before it becomes a "safety issue" to you? so for now I have a very expensive lawn ornament and my family has to bum rides. Unbelievable.

Horn suddenly starts blaring, wipers start wiping, door locks lock, if engine is running it might stop, when this first happened the car was shut off and sitting in drive.

Car horn honks intermittently; barely touch remote and horn honks; windows also roll down when key remote is turned upside down or in layng against something or in your hand trying to unlock doors. Also, when you try to open any other doors it will sometimes just honk and lock while not opening door. First thing that happened prior to that was the driver's side lock stopped unlocking all the doors. (when I have come out from work or church or a game, my windows have been down. The only place the remote was during that time was in my purse. Please help me resolve this situation. I replaced the battery to no avail, and I just ordered a new key remote. Thank you!.

Horn does not work at steering wheel but will randomly blow when a door is opened. This is an ongoing occurrence since "when did this happen" as the problem has not been found.

While in motion, vehicle has turned on wipers, honked horn, dash light tun off. Instrument panel lights up and dings. While stopped and stoplight van has stalled,with no power for a few minutes. At one point,the van has restarted itself after turning off and exiting. I was told by a mechanic, that the tipm needs to be replaced.

I am having issues with my 2008 Chrysler town and country van. I recently had the dealership work on some recalls for this model. At that time, it wasn't showing any problems. Only after the recalls were addressed did the trouble begin. Now, it sporadically will not recognize either key fob. Wait a while and try to crank it and it starts back up. Today, 100 miles from home with 4 small children as passengers, it decided to have a fit at the gas pump and not start. Called road side assistance and waited for them to arrive just in time for van to decide it wanted to crank again. Cranked it up and tried to park it at a friends house close by. Detected what seemed like surges with the fuel pump while trying to get there. Finally got to a stopping point and turned the key off and the van kept running. The wipers went crazy and the horn started blowing all by itself. Is this vehicle possessed by the devil or what? it is not safe to drive and I have no other choice but to tow it back to the dealership. I don't know if anyone else has the same problem but I say this vehicle is unsafe! if there isnt a recall already issued, there certainly needs to be one.

Tipm has gone bad. The horn started beeping on its own, then my headlights and stopped working while driving at night,nothing else yet.

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.

I am writing today regarding what appears to be a very serious safety concern regarding my 2014 Chrysler Town & Country. Last Monday (may 15, 2017) I was driving and realized that none of the steering wheel controls on my vehicle were working. It became scarily apparent when I went to honk my horn and nothing happened. The condition also affected all the other controls on the steering wheel, including the driver information center that provides me information on all the vital statistics of the vehicle. I use this information daily to verify that my vehicle is well maintained and functioning properly. Without it, I do not know if there are concerns about my vehicle's road worthiness. Lacking just these two items (not to mention losing the other controls on the steering wheel) caused me serious concern about the safety of my vehicle. The cause of the problem was not the horn. Rather, I was told, the horn is wired through the cruise control switch and that switch had failed. After agreeing to have that repair done, I waited for the work to be completed so I could safely drive my vehicle again. But that was not the case. A couple hours later, I received another call from the dealership stating that it wasn't the cruise control switch, but rather, I was told, the failure was due to a clock spring that fed power to the cruise control switch that provided power to activate the horn and all the other controls that are not working on the steering wheel. And by the way, the manufacturer will not cover any of the costs of this safety repair. This sounded strange to me. How could something as important and simple as a horn be so complex and convoluted? why would an automobile manufacturer design such a simple and important safety feature in such a way that even their own technicians cannot accurately determine a diagnosis on their initial in-depth evaluation?.

Car gets totally possessed. It cuts off in the of driving one time on the highway. The lights wipers and horn goes on by itself and doesnt stop until the battery is disconnected. I came out the store and my wipers and horn was going off the keys were in my hand. While pumping gas the radio started playing and wipers going off. The keys were in my hand the doors unlock by themselves one they opened. While driving uphill. The car won't off when the key comes out. In the park and off position sometimes it doesn't start at all.

The contact owns a 2007 Chrysler town and country. The contact stated that there was an internal electrical short that caused the fuse box to fail and the horn not to function, according to the dealer. The dealer diagnosed that the fuse box needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 85,000.

The contact owns a 2008 Chrysler town and country. While driving at any speed, the exterior lighting and horn failed without warning. The vehicle was towed to the dealer and the light switch was replaced; however, the failure recurred. It was later diagnosed that the control module needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 170,000.

Was driving and the following electrical items starting on their own: ·door locks ¿ lock and unlock repeatedly ·windshield wipers ¿ highest setting non-stop ·windshield wiper fluid (used all the fluid) ·lights ¿ flashing on and off ·horn ¿ repeatedly going on and off stopped car in road and turned off car and took out the key and still the issue continued for 20 minutes until we were able to disconnect the cable to the battery at which time it all stopped. Thinking that maybe this would reset it all we tried to put the cable back on the battery and it all started again. Because we had to move it out of the road and could not get the car into neutral to push it, we started the car again and all the same issues continued as above. After driving about 100 feet to put the car in a driveway, it all stopped except a warning light for traction control. After 100 feet more, all lights were gone and the car seemed normal. Drove the car home and had no issues. Look to see if there were any trouble codes (have a code reader) and no codes are present looking internet, I found literally thousands of similar complaints and issues with this car and other Dodge (durango for example, caravan) and Jeep (cherokee for example). Almost all of them said that issue was tipm defective.

The day we bought our vehicle we started having issues. The car would crank and not start for several seconds. Would randomly (every few months) shut off while driving (leaving power brakes/steering unavailable) and randomly just not start at all. Now we are having many electrical failures daily for no less than 20 minutes at a time: horn on continuous honk, wipers going crazy, wiper fluid spraying out, car shutting down in very dangerous situations, locks going up and down, the front seat blower motor shutting off intermittently. Also randomly the car will not 'shut off' when I take the key out. It's fully driveable without the key and the key opening is in the 'off' position. All of these things happen for about 20 minutes and then the car goes back to normal. When it's shut off, the car will not turn back on for apx 20 minutes. I was most recently stuck in a very dangerous intersection just as I was merging onto another freeway at the top of a clover-leaf intersection during rush-hour. Unable to get out of the vehicle and unable to start or move the vehicle - praying I wouldn't get hit, but I couldn't see because my wiper fluid was spraying at a constant speed and my wipers would not turn on. They've now 'guessed' that many of our issues are tipm related, but they're not guaranteeing that it will solve the problem and will cost $1200. They've ordered the party but I can't afford it! pay the mortgage, or death by Chrysler? I have a copy of some codes that were pulled the first day of the 'daily' issues: u0141, p2533, c121c, b1a79, b10ec, p0691 - since then the list has more than doubled, but they did not provide me with a copy of the codes. I've contacted Chrysler explaining that this car is leaving us in horribly dangerous situations, but they have no interest in helping out. I made sure to say my 'goodbyes' on their recorded lines.

Windshield wipers, horn, washer fluid, and lights inside and outside of vehicle randomly go off and wont stop unless the battery is disconnected. This will also cause the car to start on its own and wont turn off if already running. Took to a mechanic and they said it was the clock spring but it only lasted for a couple of months and is now doing the same thing. Check engine light came on and is showing again a problem with the ecm. I have looked online and there are hundreds of other people reporting the same problem with no explanation from Chrysler and no recall issued.

Car started having trouble starting. Took it to the dealership where they said it was the fuel filter. Come to find out it is a faulty tipm. Was able to get it to crank after numerous tries. Last time it caused a fire under the hood and now nothing. Before the windows would just roll down on their on, lights flash, horn blows, door opens.
