For the last few weeks my car has been stalling when I come to a complete stop or as I am breaking. Sometimes it takes as many as 7 tries of putting it in park, turning it off and turning it back on. The check engine light is not on. Mechanic cannot determine problem. I have found hundreds of other claims saying the same thing with no resolution found. This has been a reoccuring problem and is inconsistent. Can happen 5 times in a 5 mile trip and 0 times in a 50 mile trip.

1. Engine runs but when I shift into reverse, drive etc. Car does not move. When I took it to be looked at, they said that my transmission doesn't have pressure. There was no indicator lights on the dash or any reason for me to think anything was wrong until I went out to drive my kids to school and it wouldn't move. Available for inspection on request.

Ticking started in the engine, idle is rough most times, #2 cylinder misfire and does not accelerate when gas pedal is pressed. Occasional cut off while driving or stopping at a light. Mechanic checked codes to verify. In September of 2023 transmission was replaced by a certified shop after the same similar issues. Keep dumping money into a car that I am still paying on and maintain according to the maintenance schedule.

The abs light, traction light, and brake light all come on and simultaneously. I've been told that the abs module is bad and needs to be replaced. The fact that the module needs to be replaced concerns me since there are prior recalls for abs module with other Dodge, ram, and chrsyler makes and models.

We were traveling to illinois when with out warning the car downshifted and went 55m/hr at 5000 rpm instead of 70m/hr at 2000 rpm. Incident occurred 7/22/2023. We were on the tollway coming in to rockford illinois at the beginning of rush hour. The mechanic found that the transmission had failed at 47,190 miles on the car. Of course the auto was out of warranty. 2015 Chrysler town and country touring van 5y or 60,000 mi on the powertrain. This could have been a very dangerous situation with the car accelerating and decelerating as we drove. The interesting thing is the certified transmission mechanic told us this was the 4th van he has seen in the last 2 weeks with the same issue. The transmission fluid was full of metal shards, now this does not seem right on an auto with only 47,190 miles on it there is documentation attached with the component data as per the computer record.

My a/c compressor unit froze up. Tearing my serpentine belt. Causing my engine to not run at all. My driver side window switch wiring melted. So now my window does not function at all. My vehicle doesn't go over 40mph and no longer shifts properly. Most of my engine wiring has melted. I have replaced the map sensor, but it says there is a problem with the circuit. Also says a problem with the barometric sensor, which I have yet to find. I had to replace the water pump. My cooling fan has totally stopped working. My key sticks in the ignition. I have replaced the battery and starter. I have also replaced the ignition coil pack, spark plugs and wires. I thought this may be the reason it was having issues starting, but it still continues. My vehicle will studder or stall out while driving. Causing it to lose power, steering. Sometimes the van just doesn't start. Or it will seem like it wants to start, but it doesn't "fire. " sounding like a starter issue, but the starter has already been replaced.

The van has a problem accelerating and also seems to stall while driving on the expressway before jumping quickly into acceleration there was a bad storm in buffalo that I believe contributed to the problems of the Chrysler van.

The battery and check engine lights are constantly on despite a new battery, new battery cable, and new alternator. The cruise control will randomly stop working. Abs and vehicle stability lights will go on and off. And at times headlights, dash, and radio screen will flicker and lose power making it impossible to see or know what the car is doing. Mechanic has looked at and repaired the car 3 different times and there is nothing identifiably wrong. The car is now unsafe to drive not knowing when the dash will go out, speed will reduce, or lights turn off. It is a hazard to the driver and others on the road.

While driving in traffic my transmission failed due to a pump failure in the transmission (diagnosed by a mechanic after the incident and having to be towed to a shop). The car stalled in the middle of an active intersection. My make and model and manufacture year was involved in a recall for this exact problem but for unknown reasons my VIN is not included. The car has been meticulously maintained and has less than 50,000 miles. The check engine light appeared immediately prior to the car losing power.

My Chrysler town and country has serious electrical issues. It started with the radio shutting off and restarting by itself, which is not a serious issue at all. But yesterday, at a red light, the radio shut off and so did the car. The engine stopped working, the accelerator pedal would not respond. It was terrifying. Thankfully we were at a red light, but if this were to happen on a busy highway, or even just on a regular street with traffic, it could be a life threatening situation. From what I have researched online, this is a common problem with Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge cars. Legal action has been taken and class action lawsuits were filed to address this matter. The center for auto safety (cas) asked this very own NHTSA to open an investigation into faulty tipm, which seem to be the problem that causes these cars to very dangerously completely shut off even while driving, causing drivers to lose control of the steering and of the brakes. The cas estimated 7 million Chrysler vehicles have power issues related to the tipm. One month after receiving a class action lawsuit, Chrysler issued a recall for 189. 000 Dodge durango and Jeep grand cherokee with bad tipms. 189. 000. Out of seven million. This is absurd. It seems as if Chrysler is waiting for someone to be killed due to this issue so they can take it seriously and actually issue the recall to all the cars that have this problem, not a tiny fraction of them and not only because it is directly related to a lawsuit. Unfortunately, despite multiple claims throughout the years that not only this is a common problem with Chrysler, but that the corporation is well aware of it and negligently refuses to address the issues, the NHTSA rejected the cas petition to investigate this problem. Proof is definitely not amiss, as a quick internet research will produce thousands upon thousands of reports of the same problem on the same car. This needs to be a recall urgently, and not only after someone dies.

On August 13, 2021, while driving at about 60 miles per hour, the vehicle lost power and power steering. Air conditioning continued to work. I was able to coast, move over to the right lane, place the transmission into neutral and restart the engine. I then placed the transmission back into drive, increased my speed and resumed my trip. This occurred previously on August 15, 2017, resulting in complaint number 11047478 being filed with your department.

We we're driving home from bishop on the highway at night, when all of a sudden the van wouldn't shift to 3 gear. It wouldn't go past 40 miles per hour. Every time we tried to accelerate the rpm's would go past the red section (about section 8 or 9). It was driving fine around 65 miles per hour prior, when all of a sudden it wouldn't continue accelerating at that speed anymore. We pulled over trying to switch gears to see if it would go back to normal, but that didn't work and we also tried turning off the car and nothing worked. We pulled up at a gas station for more gas. When we turned the car back on and put it into driving gear it jolted for a second right before and after taking it out of the driving gear. We had to drive on the highway at 40 miles per hour with the emergency lights on so we wouldn't get hit from behind from coming and un coming traffic since it was pitch dark at night. Also, the left back passenger door right behind the driver seat was no longer working earlier. It won't open neither with the clicker, or by hand (inside or the outside) or by the inside automatic buttons for the door. It just doesn't unlock any more.

The vehicle is only 5 years old, we came from a short 4 days vacation in elko nevada, we are heading home but after passing donner pass approaching colfax the engine started making a constant clicking noise when starting the engine, rpm shoots up but the vehicle struggles to speed up and come to the point that the vehicle is not moving anymore even it was in the drive mode unless you try to restart the engine, then it will move just a few meters away and the same story. That's why I decided to call on aaa towing service even because it didn't work out. Need your help and assistance regarding this matter.

Driving on freeway the check engine light came on and van shifted into 3rd gear without warning. Diagnosed with stuck valve and gear stuck in 3rd or 2nd year. Van wouldn't drive over 45 rpms had to exit freeway fast. Rpms acting sporadically from 0 to 5 dropping rapidly and increasing. My life was at risked due to fast traffic approaching. Semi�s, cars and trucks headed towards me at 75 mph.

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.

At 50,700 miles and 6 months out of warranty, my flex plate cracked. The flex plate connects to the end of the crankshaft and the torque converter. If your vehicle is running when the flex plate breaks your transmission will not receive the rotational power transfer from the engine to turn you torque converter, which can cause the vehicle to become immobilized while driving. To repair the flex plate, the entire transmission must be removed which is very expensive. Additionally, a cracked flex plate almost always indicates a greater problem with your engine or transmission. We also experienced problems with hesitation and/or peeling out when depressing the accelerator. The vehicle speed control was unpredictable and dangerous. This was my family car that I thought I could rely on for years. Instead, I felt very unsafe driving it, and was disappointed to have such a major powertrain failure at such low mileage. Chrysler refuses to acknowledge the problem, recall, and properly repair the vehicle despite multiple complaints of people losing control while driving at high speeds due to this exact problem. I decided I didn't want to be the person that died so I traded it in instead of repairing it, but I lost a lot of money in doing that. You can't put a price on your family's safety - do not buy this car.

While we are driving the vehicle will start to jump around and we have to take our foot of the pedal. Then when we are going up any kind of hill or mountain we loss power and almost come to a complete stop even when we press the pedal all the way to the floor. The amount of speed we loss is very unsafe and very alarming. How is there not a recall on this, I have seen story after story about this.

My tipm is failing slowly. My starter is pulling way to many amps when starting. I've changed it twice. My fuel relay has failed. A lot of the times when I start my car I have an icon for my abs sensor come on and the only way to get it off is to pull over and restart my car. When the light is on on my dash. My car won't drive over 60mph and my rpms will run high and when you let off the gas while it's doing this it will take you almost to a stop within seconds. My check engine light never goes off. And no matter how many times it gets tested and reset it comes back within hours. So my auto start never works. Sometimes when I start my car I can't get my seatbelt alarm to stop singing so I have to pull over and restart. It all leads back to this tipm (electronics board below the fuse box). I've had it priced at 1300$ to fix it. But turns out it's the most common issue with this year of this van. Please help!.

I'm not sure what exactly happened, the vehicle is pending investigation. I attempted to stop the vehicle, pressing the brakes down as hard as possible, and the vehicle wouldn't stop. The other vehicle was hit from behind at a light I was probably going around 40 mph. Also, when we first bought the vehicle it had a habit of turning off while driving. Finally got that fixed. It turned out to be the master power cylinder or something like that.

I was driving at approximately 65mph. On the highway. All of a sudden, my instrument panel started to flicker( the lights) as well as my headlights. Then all gauges began to abruptly malfunction. Including: the speedometer's needle started spinning 360 degrees over and over. Forwards and backwards. The fuel gauge went to e. The temp. Gauge went to coolest indication. It continued extreme malfunction all the way to my destination. When I stopped, turned off the vehicle, then restarted, the gauges ( except speedometer) returned to normal function. I performed Mini diagnostic utilizing the (reset) mileage tab. It failed to fix the problem. Have no way of knowing my speed going on 6 months now. Very nerve racking, and dangerous.

While in motion the car will just turn off,steering wheel locked and I could not steer. It has turned off on me while driving on the highway with my children. It will start back up but can not go longer than a mile before it does it again.

Vehicle stalls while driving the car on city street and highway. No warning and it loses all power. Steering wheel locks and the only thing I can do is brake to stop the car. This has happened 3 times now with my kids in the car with me. Not safe at all and for some reason my VIN is not in the recall about this issue.
