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.

On August 15, 2017, while driving up a highway incline, the vehicle lost power, power steering and power brakes. I was approaching a stop light about an eigth mile away so I allowed the vehicle to coast, forceably steering it through a slight curve and then braking. When I stopped, I put the gear selector into park and then restarted the vehicle. I called my local Chrysler dealer the next morning. They stated that because there was no "check engine" light and unless it happened again while they were driving it they would be unable to know what had occurred or what was wrong. This has not occured again. The vehicle was about 14 months old at the time and had roughly 15,000 miles on it.

While driving my vehicle on the highway at an estimated speed of 60 mph, for no reason at all, various warning/indicator lights started to flash (not all in unison) and the odometer speed indicator (digital numbers) went up & down as the car seemed to be stalling/missing. For a second it seemed to right itself then the engine completely shut down losing all power - electrical (all), power steering, power brakes, etc. And we were forced to coast to a stop in the breakdown lane. After waiting a few minutes I was able to start the car and it seemed that every thing was normal for the last 10 miles or so of my drive. This is the second time it has happened in the past 2-3 years which is a long period but alarming because both times were while driving on the highway. When it does happen you can't safely control the car once it shuts down - limited control at best. After the first time, I took it to the Chrysler dealer in kent OH (klaben) who services my vehicle because of the warranty and I trust them. They had a service technician and a manager both drive the van over the course of a few days (including highway travel) and couldn't duplicate the failure. Diagnosis was a possible computer glitch and since that diagnosis it hasn't happened again until tonight 2/10/16. It may be the computer but I will drive it tomorrow and see if it runs ok. If it does I probably won't take it back in (unless someone knows something) but I wanted to share the issue in the event anyone else has experienced the same problem. A computer glitch (if it is) is not like a reboot on the home computer. This failure both times has happened in light traffic. My fear is that in heavy traffic trying to pull over safely without any power and lights could lead to a major incident/accident. I should have my record of the (no) repair from klaben and they should also have in their data base.

Tl- the contact owns a 20 Chrysler town and country. The contact stated while driving in reverse approximately 5 mph and attempting a turn the steering wheel did not move. At that moment the power train position lights began to flash. The contact restarted the vehicle and it operated as designed. The vehicle was taken to a dealer for diagnosis and the contact was informed that there was a rock under the hood that was interfering with the driving. The failure recurred intermittently. The vehicle had not been repaired. The failure and current mileage was 91,000. Dt.
