Ignition Module Problems of Chrysler Town & Country - part 1

While driving, the ignition key moved from "on" to "accessory". The engine lost power and I had no power brakes nor power steering to stop. Very bad. I was on a city street at the time. This is the same problem, the recall r03 / NHTSA 14v-373 addressed in 2015. The ignition module was replace at that time under the recall. The replacement failed. I'm presently having the module replaced again at a Chrysler dealer. This time at my expense. Not sure what else to do.

There was a recall on this model for the ignition key switch. I had it repaired through the recall on 1-13-2016. It is now 2021 and the problem has returned. When key is in the ignition it turns but won't start the car. I have to repeatedly turn it on and off. While driving the dash light come on indicating a slippery brake lights warning. When I first start it up, I can't get it out of park with brake applied. I have to turn it off and remove key and re-insert and turn it on. I contacted Chrysler they said there was only a 2 year warranty on the recalled part and I would have to pay for a new key unit. This is a repeat problem and needs another recall. The win module is acting up again. I went online at repairpal. Com and there are hundreds of complaints about the same issue. I only have 34000 miles on this 2009 van.

My wife was driving our vehicle down a county road at about 40 miles per hour when suddenly what seemed like all of the indicator and warning lights lit up on the dashboard. She pulled off into a neighborhood to try and turn around to drive the vehicle back home. As she came around the circle drive of the neighborhood and approached the stop sign before the county road, the vehicle completed died. The key would not come out of the ignition it was so dead. We had the vehicle towed to a dealership's service department. The problem was diagnosed as a bad totally integrated power module (tipm). The unsafe condition was that the vehicle could have completely died and lost all power, including power steering, power brakes, etc. , while driving on a county road at 40 miles per hour in traffic, if my wife would not have immediately pulled off the main road into the neighborhood. While waiting for the vehicle to be towed, I had to wave on traffic exiting the neighborhood and it created an unsafe situation for traffic coming in to the neighborhood at the same time.

The van has drained a new battery in two days. Dealership claims they can't find the problem even though there is a known problem with their room's from this model year. I have suggested they look at the fuel pump turning on even though a key has not been used to start vehicle and to look at the wireless ignition node module. Seems I have to do the investigative work and incur all the cost. Dealership has had my vehicle for over a week now.

Vehicle's tipm module failed, causing the vehicle to stall to a stop on a busy street. Hazard lights did not work. Transmission shifter locked itself in park. All cluster instrument warning lights were on. Uconnect sound system off. Power windows and locks disabled. Sliding doors locked and disabled. Engine remained running with key out of ignition. The vehicle's complete tipm failure, which also controls the hazard warning lights (which should be on an isolated circuit), contributed to a three car accident.

Van will switch off while driving down the road causing power steering, power brakes, and airbags to shut off. This happens intermittently. My van is a 2010 but for some reason not covered under a Chrysler recall to replace the win module. I currently have van at Chrysler dealer and having repair completed on my own dime. This recall should be extended to cover all Chrysler vans manufactured in the 2010 model year. The key fob will be in the ignition but the ignition switch is faulty and switches the motor off. Van will restart if you put it in neutral and turn the switch back on. Very unsafe.

Having issues with the wireless ignition module. Buttons on the remote either don't work or don't work right. Also associated buttons in the vehicle, either don't work or don't work right. There was s recall on the 2008-2010 models of these same vehicles, for similar problems. There may not be a recall now, but there may be one soon. I can't wait forever on a recall, I'm going to have to get this fixed when I have the cash to do so. Don't know if any other way to deal with it. Thank you, mike.

Drivers side sliding door �door ajar� sensed during warm/hot days. While driving door tries to re-latch, lights come on, and chumming is heard continuously throughout the drive. Sometimes the door tries to re-latch when just sitting in the driveway with keys out of the ignition. The local dealershipran a diagnostic with multiple codes: I 121300, b19ed, b2501, b2506, b19e0, b2509, b19cd. They told me to replace the track wire bundle. I replaced the door track wire run with negative results. I've swapped the sliding door motor module and the discrep remains with the drivers side. I've swapped the door wiring logic module and the discrep remains with the drivers door. I've replaced the latch actuator motor and the whole latch actuator assembly with no change to the discrepancy. I believe it to be a wiring issue in the door panel. The door chiming and lights flashing while driving is extremely distracting and if it's a wire issue I don't want it to catch fire. This is an ongoing issue with an unknown fix.

While driving on the road the motor dies as if I turned it off, so of course it's difficult to steer. I managed to get off to the side of the road. I decided to put it in neutral and try to start it. It started and off I went. Several days later the same thing happened so as I was coasting along, I just put it in neutral and was able to continue on. This has happened periodically over the past few years. Also, awhile ago, I pulled into my parking place at work and just as I was getting ready to turn the ignition off, everything went wild, horn honking, alarm going off, both front and back windshield wipers going full bore with the washer fluid spraying out! this continued for several minutes even though the key was out of the ignition! it finally stopped, all the washer fluid ran out! this has happened periodically over the past couple years. It happened a few months ago and wouldn't stop until we unhooked the battery. I'm told it is a faulty power module! that's crazy, never in my life has anything like this hypo me with a vehicle! I think Chrysler should stand behind this faulty part. It could have caused me to have an accident but luckily has not! can't really afford a new part or vehicle!.

Vehicle started but would not shift out of park. Had to override the shift lock. Took to automotive repair where they found multiple codes related to the brake light switch. Cleared codes and replaced brake light switch. Still showed codes related to brake light switch. Found system had 3 amp draw running battery low and traced it back to the tipm. Found draw was present when ignition switch is removed from the loop. Replaced the tipm module and programed to vehicle. Found wiring issue to the tipm that needed replaced.

Vehicle has been losing power suddenly, without warning for several months. The issue occurs at various speeds, road conditions, after various running times. When power is lost the lights fail to operate, the engine completely stops, signals dont work, steering is minimal. We have almost been in several accidents. The dealership it was taken to only provided a failing egr valve as a diagnosis with an estimate of over $700. However, research did not indicate that would resolve the sudden shut-off. I took it to a private garage after noticing the engine tended to shut down when the keys seems to be touched. I was able to replicate the issue reinforcing my assumption. The shop replaced the ignition module (as has been recalled with other town and country vehicles) and I have not had a single issue. The failing ignition module has been an issue in thousands of vehicle and this should be included.

Drove car to work. Took key out of the ignition, but van continued to run. Disconnected the battery but van's engine continued to run. Drove it to an independent mechanic and it was diagnosed as a win module issue. Currently at another Chrysler dealer waiting for repair. This issue could have easily been a safety issue. If the win module had broken in the 'off' position on a busy road instead of in the "on" position.

Tl the contact owns a 2011 Chrysler town and country. While the key was in the ignition, the vehicle would not start. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The contact would have to turn the ignition switch three to four times to start the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the temp power module failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was taken to larson Chrysler Jeep Dodge ram (2001 n meridian, puyallup, wa 98371, (253) 845-1725) where it was diagnosed that the temp power module needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and started an investigation. The failure mileage was approximately 109,000.

Chrysler official dealer does not accept a claim to replace the wireless ignition module according to NHTSA recall number: 14v-373. My car was bought in USA, but now registered in lithuania.

Ignition receiver, module-wireless ignition will not turn car off the car stays running how to turn off and on to get the car to turn off.

Tl the contact owns a 2010 Chrysler town and country. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to shut off. The contact disconnected the ecm fuse to shut off the vehicle. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to reedman toll auto world (1700 e Lincoln hwy, langhorne, PA 19047, (877) 702-7807) where it was diagnosed that the wireless ignition module and key fob needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and referred the contact to a local dealer. The contact was provided with case number: 57579330. The failure mileage was 78,494.

My exact year make and model of van had a recall for the �win module� because of ignition problems. Because my VIN number didn't fall into �those affected� by the faulty win module, they will not take care of it. The van will fail to turn over or start completely or will start and then shut off leaving my family stranded. Chrysler is this exact issue with the same other vans included in the recall and needs to include the others affected by it. I've personally replaced the alternator, battery, and key fob and have come to realize it's the win module that was recalled for these same exact issues on other vans.

My wife and I have been having the same issue for months. We would go to start the vehicle, some days it would start some days it would just crank but wouldn't turn over. Eventually my battery died. Replaced the battery, and noticed that after the car was shut off and the key was out of the ignition, the fuel pump would continue to run. As a mechanic this had me intrigued. Pulled the fuel pump fuse and the pump shut off, when I put the fuse back in the pump did not re engage. Took the vehicle to the dealer they could not replicate the fuel pump running. We continue still to have the issue with the car not starting or the fuel pump draining the battery. After further investigation and research. I am now seeing that it is a tipm issue. This same module has been recalled from Dodge and Jeep, I really don't understand why it has not been recalled for the Chrysler. I do know that I have two small children and a tiny wife, so if it fails during operation, it could cause serious injury to my family. I will be paying the $1,000 to get it fixed, but will be expecting a refund check from Chrysler when this thing kills someone.

Tl the contact owns a 2008 Chrysler town and country. While driving 35-40 mph, the vehicle lost power and stalled. All the instrument panel indicators were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to thomas Dodge Chrysler Jeep (9604 indianapolis blvd, highland, in 46322, (219) 924-6100) to be diagnosed, but the failure could not be duplicated. The contact stated that the ignition module was previously replaced by the same dealer, but they did not assist. The manufacturer was contacted and referred the contact to the local dealer. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 110,000.

I purchased this car two years ago with a limited mile warranty. A month later the ignition module went, we are constantly taking the car to have breaks front and back and rotors repaired every month on the vehicle. We were given a false carfax report as well. If that wasn't enough there was a faulty spark plug which cost me 800. 00 to remove the head gasket to replace the plugs that were never replaced and had dry rotted. This occurred in July of 2017 after I spent 3k in rental cars to get to and from work. On 8/4/2017 the thermostat blew which cost 200. 00 to repair now the catalyct converter is gone and on 8/5/2017 the car was acting possessed. I came outside side to start the vehicle and noticed the windshield wipers were going off and the car smelt as if it were burning. They keys were not in the vehicle. I need help I have a family size of 6 with small children that ride in this unsafe vehicle every day. It is our only means of transportation to and from work and additionally I pay a monthly car payment of $410. 00 not including insurance.

The engine of my 2010 Chrysler town and country shut off while traveling on the highway at a speed of approximately 60mph. It has happened two other times at lower speeds while in town. The issue left me and my family in danger of a highway collision. This problem appears to be with the ignition switch spontaneously dropping into accessory mode which matches a recall for the same issue in other town and country's very close to the date of manufacture of mine. That recall was 14v373. My van was manufactured four months after the recall window relating to the ignition switch issue which subsequently disables the airbags and other safety equipment. The specific part that was the issue in 14v373 and what I believe to be the issue here is the win module.

The contact owns a 2009 Chrysler town and country. While driving 25 mph, the traction control indicator illuminated and the vehicle stalled. The contact stated that the vehicle was able to restart on the first attempt. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer (milne's auto group, 1900 s cedar st, imlay, michigan, 48444), but the failure could not be duplicated or diagnosed. It was confirmed that the ignition module was replaced in 2012. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and recommended that the vehicle be taken to another dealer for a second opinion. The contact was referred to NHTSA; however, no additional assistance was offered. The contact mentioned that the failure occurred in the past; however, it went away until recently. The failure mileage was approximately 90,000.

At a slow speed of about 5 to 10 mph, my vehicle would shut off leaving me with no power brakes, power steering, and in the path of cars behind me almost hitting me as well. It always happens when I am turning left or right at a slow speed. I have had the wireless ignition control module, battery, and key fob replaced already by the dealer.

Van would not start from it's parking place at a car wash. Message came up "accessory or ignition on". I had it towed to an auto repair shop. Diagnosed as failure of the tipm (total integrated power module). This shut down all power to the vehicle including fuel pump, computer, steering, engine, and whatever else. Good thing it was parked when it failed, for had I been driving I would not have had any control of the vehicle, according to the mechanic.

While driving down a busy 5 lane road around rush hour with my three children in the vehicle, the town and country lost power. Twice. This caused me to have to avoid other cars and find a way to restart the vehicle to ensure we did not cause an accident. When we had the van checked out, it was found that we had a faulty wireless ignition module (win module). This part was replaced in my make and model vehicle under a recall by Chrysler, but we were informed that our VIN did not match those manufactured in the time period attributed to the recall. We are requesting that Chrysler expand the recall of the win module to include the full model year. This was a very scary incident for my family, and with it being an identified problem already, I find it hard to swallow that we were forced to pay to replace a part Chrysler knew to be faulty.

While driving along, the vehicle shuts off. The key is in the still ignition, and I am able to put the vehicle in the neutral position and restart the vehicle. Between my wife and this event has occurred at least eight times since the vehicle was purchased. In each case the vehicle was in motion, and the shutoff has occurred on city streets as well as the highway. My 1st occurrence happened while I was turning right. I believe that the wireless ignition node(win) module is the cause of the shutoffs but it may be caused by a problem with the fuel system. Regardless of the cause, the engine shutting down while moving is a safety issue and dangerous. The appropriate recalls are: l02, l25 and r03.

I am a 29 year old male. I am severely disabled (quadriplegic). I drive a modified 2008 Chrysler t&c van with special steering and brake controls and a wheel chair lift. I have owned and driven my van 3 years. It has been extremely well maintained. It must be a safe and reliable vehicle because of my special needs and physical limitations. It is the only vehicle on the planet that I can drive. About a month ago, I took my van into chris myers Chrysler, daphne, al, where they replaced my ignition switch and key fob per safety recall #14v373000. On fri July 15, 2016, I went to drive my van to the grocery store. I pressed the door open button on my newly provided key fob and the van immediately went berserk. Just about every electrically powered device on the van exploded into operation - all at the same instance - wiper blades on ultra high speed, rear window washer spewing fluid, horn blasting, fan motors roaring - and on and on! confined to my wheelchair, there was nothing I could do to stop the craziness from the van. All the neighbors in my apartment complex were now out in the parking lot witnessing all the outrageous things the van was doing. I eventually had to get the hood open and disconnected the battery to put a stop to the vehicle self destructing. With a friends help (a friend with some vehicle mechanic expertise), we checked all fuses - all were okay. We were not able to start the van - the van was completely "dead"! my friend manages an auto parts store in gulf shores, al, and knows the service manager at gulf Chrysler, foley, al. As soon as my friend described the situation, the foley service manager asked if the recall had been accomplished and said it was related to the recall. The next morning, my towing service towed my van to nearby chris myers Chrysler. Their service manager has presented me a $1k bill to replace a module.

On 3/7/16, 3 days following the recall repair for the win module we had done on 3/4/16, after starting the car and beginning to drive in my church parking lot, all of the dash lights lit up, the car started chiming as if I didn't have my seatbelt on, the wipers engaged, and the mph and rpm gauges dropped to zero. It continually repeated. I attempted to pull into a parking space, turn off and removed key from ignition. Restarted car, and problem persisted. I repeated this again with the problem still persisting. I pulled into a gas station, turned car off, removed key, and exited vehicle. When I restarted the car the problem had stopped. Two days later on 3/8/16 I started my car for work and as soon as I put the car in reverse the same problem started. Shut the car off, removed key, and restarted. . . Still occurring. Shut the car off, removed key, exited vehicle, restarted, still occurring. . . I proceeded to drive down the road after exiting my driveway and took a video of this problem repeating continually until a mile down the road, I pulled over into an empty parking lot, shut the car off, removed key, opened and shut the door, and let it sit for 3-5 minutes before restarting, and the problem no longer occurred. My husband called the dealership, greenwood auto in cortland, OH to tell them what was happening, and all they said that it wasn't from them repairing the win module. I find this extremely unsafe, and hard to believe this is just a coincidence as this has never happened before prior to having the recall repair done. I do not have pictures but I do have a video. Chrysler customer service now says I have to pay a Chrysler dealership for a diagnosis of this new problem, how convenient that is.
