The electrical and engine shut off more than a dozen times over several months, summer, fall and winter, while I was driving in city traffic, with no other known correlations. All electrical systems and power steering and power brakes also ceased to function. This necessitated my placing the transmission into neutral to reengage the ignition, which immediately restarted the engine. . Perhaps also related: after overnight, immediately after engaging the ignition, starter and briefly the engine, the engine shut off when I released the ignition switch. This happened several times in a row. Only recently has this problem first occurred duurinh the several years we have had the car. Only after I engaging the gas pedal while engaging the ignition and increasing the rpms did the engine begin to function normally. This has happened several days when the temperature was about 30�f.

On 1/17/21, the van engine stalled while I was driving on a freeway. This caused loss of power steering and power brakes. I coasted to stop on side of road, waited a bit, and restarted the van. It drove for aout 3 miles when the same thing happened. Problem appears intermittent since it hasn't happened when I brielfy drove the car on 1/18 and 1/19. Dealer is saying they can't find anything wrong with car (took car in to dealer on 1/20).

Car was sitting in the garage. The dash board spontaneously caught on fire. It burnt straight through the driver side window.

Traction control light came on and engine shut off while driving around 30 miles per hour after just starting about 20 minutes after shut off and listening to radio with key in accessory position lost brakes and steering. Traction control would not come back on till I stopped 10 miles after restarting and turned off. Only came back on with engine not on.

Vehicle completely shuts off while driving at highway speed. Vehicle has turned off (lights, steering, braking, electrical) at 45mph while merging onto a highway, vehicle almost hit median before vehicle was put into neutral and restarted. Vehicle also shutoff at 65 mph while driving on highway.

Car was running perfectly at 70 mph on the highway and engine cut off without any warning or indication of poor operation, resulting immediate loss of power steering and loss power brakes. This has happened twice in 12 days on Nov 14 and now Nov 26 while driving to whole family to thanksgiving. Mechanic has not been able to duplicate the problem. Very scary. Car has 76k miles. Car will start right back up after 20 min and run perfectly fine. Car has been well maintained with extended warranty.

While driving, my 2010 Chrysler town and country will completely shut down. I have no brakes, no steering control and my engine completely does. It happens at times when I am coasting or driving at a slower speed. I have 2 little kids and it is terrifying when I've lost complete control of my vehicle, and I need to try and move off the road or try and restart it at an intersection with traffic all around me. There is no pattern to the shut down, it just happens sporadically. I've been reading, and it seems that there are a ton of complaints of the same thing happens to other people! please please consider this issue as a serious and dangerous defect to the vehicle.

I was driving along in motion, an all of a sudden the car just completely shut down. The steering wheel locked up and the brake got tight. Thank god I was on a slow street so I was able to stop the car and put it in park and the car started right back up again. This happened to me once in October and once again a month later in November. In November I was on a regular street in traffic and the car shut down. I was able to put it in park and start it back up again. This is so scary and a safety problem. Thank god I didn't cause an accident.

I was driving straight on a rural, two lane road at 45mph. The road was slightly hilly and conditions were clear. The van abruptly lost power and I could not steer. I waited for it to coast to a stop, put the vehicle in park and re-started the key. The van started right up and I continued driving.

I was at a red light at a city block intersection. When the light turned green, I started to accelerate, then the van immediately lost power. I was able to turn the hazard lights on. I could not steer, accelerate, brake. The van slowed to a stop and I turned the key to on (it had twisted to acc on its own. ) the van started back up and I continued on my drive.

The car has 25,000 miles on it. Starting out from my house down a hill the power steering and brakes were not working as apparently the engine stopped. I restarted and drove about 15 miles and was on I-26 in TN at 65 mph and the engine rpm dropped to 0, power brakes and steering were inoperable but I managed to get onto the shoulder but was in a dangerous spot with traffic speeding by. Car would start but I was afraid to drive it ass it was not safe if it cut out again on the interstate highway. Had it towed. Still not repaired and mechanic said it showed a code of both bank sensors. E has not found the problem as of yet but I understand Chrysler has had issues with engine stoppage. This is dangerous as my wife would not have been able to control the hard steering and brakes and likely would have wrecked.

I was driving straight at 40-45mph on a slightly hilly, two lane road with no curbs. The weather was clear, traffic was moderate. With no warning, all driving power went off and I couldn't steer or brake. I could still put the hazard lights on. I had to wait for the van to coast to a stop. Then I turned the key to on and the vehicle started back up. Thankfully, I didn't get hit or drive into a ditch. I had a van full of kids and was so scared.

The engine shuts down while driving on highway and making this a very dangerous situation where innocent people can be at risk of accident without warning since you don't have steering or brakes when it the engine shuts down.

Van has shut off randomly 4 times now. The first three times was while sitting still. It started right back up the first time but took awhile to start up the second time. The third time it also started right back up. The last time it shut off while driving through town at about 35 mph. Lost all braking and steering. Van will not start back up.

While driving at approximately 25 mph, I lost all power to engine. No power steering, no brakes, no ability to a accelerate. I was able to put flashers on and pull off main road. I turned ignition off and was able immediately restart it. Two days prior, van wouldn't start and had to be jump started. Interior lights still worked but no power was getting to ignition.

The van just at its own choice cuts off, you can be going 5 mph or 70mph. There is no warning, then you lose steering and braking with the engine off. After you get it stopped it starts right back up but you don't know for how long before it does it again. There is a recall on the igniti0n box but not for my VIN number, Chrysler needs to expand the years on that recall before someone gets hurt badly or killed. . .

Car dies/stalls at random when moving. Have been going 70 mph down the rd and it has happened. When this happens it causes us to lose powered steering. This is extremely dangerous! it has stalled/died at various speeds. Sometimes soon starting the vehicle will die right away. Alternator has been replaced and that is not the issue.

The car starts to power down and makes the power steering stop working. The traction control symbol shows up after it starts to power down. It has happened three times in the past two weeks about 2-3 minutes from home while the car is in motion. One of the times was while I was turning left with oncoming cars. The car has to be restarted. This is very dangerous and should be a recall as so many others have experienced the same thing.

The vehicle will shut off while in motion. Stability light will illuminate, power steering, power brakes fail. Has happened on three occasions now, twice on city streets, once at highway speed.

On Wednesday 2/19/20, the engine shut off suddenly while driving. The steering and brakes were operating without power assist and the car was difficult to stop. This happened at slow speed while turning into a parking lot so the car was able to be stopped. The car was put into park and restarted. It operated fine immediately after the incident.

3 times now our van will all the sudden not have any throttle then the power steering will not work. I have to stop where I am and turn off the van then turn it back on. There r no warning lights or indicators. It will just not excell and have no power stearing. All 3 times I took my foot off the gas to slow down and when I went to accelerate again it wouldn't to anything. All 3 times I was in the city. Once in sturgeon bay,WI. The others in menasha,WI. Sb,WI I was in the process of turning and couldn't turn. The other one I was approaching a stop light in a snow storm and slowing down. The 3rd time I was approaching a round about. There was about 2 mths between the sb,WI incident and the 2 in menasha.

While driving, engine turns off randomly and renders the power steering and power brakes to lose their function as well. This has made driving the vehicle extremely dangerous because it happens randomly and without warning and has caused some close calls on the road, which is what prompted me to discontinue driving the van and taking it to the dealership. There are no open recalls for my vehicle, however, safety recall r03 describes exactly what is happening to my van and includes vehicles in model year 2010.

Vehicle was in motion on suburban street at speed of 40-45mph in a straight forward direction. Tire/traction symbol flashed on, then vehicle momentarily lost power. All lights flashed off, then came back on. Acceleration cut out, then resumed (foot was still on pedal). Steering temporarily locked up, then the steering wheel released so I could steer again.

Engine turns off and there is no power steering and only the abs only work. I was in motion and the engine just turned off while I was driving.

A used vehicle, 2014 town country, just got on the road from an inter chnge, speed limit was 70 mph, thus only going 65, put cruise control on, weather and pavment was dry and excellant conditions, passing gear kicked in causing spinning of frt tires and vering off to the right, hitting a utility truck no damage to truck but mine wow !, been having problems with ths vehicle since I bought it, problem dealer would not look at problem vehicle was in motion defective sensors assumption.

The engine seizes without warning. It simply shuts off. This effectively limits both the breaking and the power steering. This is dangerous as there are no warning light indicators, no audible notifications, no error codes. Going 70 mph we were nearly killed when the motor died and we lost our breaking and steering ability. This has happened on multiple occasions with no rhyme nor reason. Long trips or short, fast or slow, interstate or in town. It needs to be addressed as this is a major issue. A cursory glance at internet forums will reveal that mine is not simply an isolated event.

Vehicle was in motion on suburban street at speed of 40-45mph in a straight forward direction. Tire/traction symbol flashed on, then vehicle lost all power. There was no lighting, accelerating, braking, or steering control. Vehicle slowed to stop. Removed key from ignition. . . Re-inserted key and re-started ignition. Vehicle then drove normally.

While driving van shut down. All electoral worked but no brakes or power steering. Like the key. Was in acc not on.
