2008 Chrysler Town And Country complaints

THE HORN WAS HONKING, WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND WIPER FLUID GOING OFF, REAR WIPERS, FLASHERS GOING AND IGNITION STALLING WHILE DRIVING,

THE ENGINE STALLS/SHUTS DOWN WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS OCCURRED ABOUT 12 TIMES IN THE PAST 4 MONTHS, AND IS BECOMING MORE FREQUENT. SHORTLY AFTER STARTING THE CAR WHEN DRIVING THE ENGINE TURNS OFF AND POWER STEERING IS LOST AND BRAKING BECOMES DIFFICULT. IT IS SOMEWHAT RANDOM BUT MORE PROMINENT ON COOLER AND HUMID DAYS. THE RECALL FOR THE BAD IGNITION KEY FOB SWITCH WAS COMPLETED 5 YEARS AGO AND SHOULD NOT BE THE ISSUE.

MY TIRE LIGHT CAME ON I CHECK THE AIR PRESSURE AND FOUND ONE OF THE VALVE STEMS BROKE OFF. TOOK IT INTO TIRE SHOP AND WAS TOLD CHRYSLER IS HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE STEMS. HAD TO REPLACE ONE. NEED NEW TIRES AND WILL HAVE TO REPLACE THE OTHER THREE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SHUT OFF. AFTER RESTARTING THE ENGINE, THE VEHICLE OPERATED NORMALLY. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN UNKNOWN DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V373000(ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) AND THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE STILL OCCURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100. *BF CONSUMER STATED CAR SHUTS OFF AT ANY SPEED, ANY TIME; IT'S CONSTANT NO POWER STEERING OR BRAKES; IT CAN BE ON A TURN OR COMING TO STOP LIGHT, WON 4 LET ANYONE IN HOUSEHOLD DRIVE IT: THOUSANDS OF THIS MODEL ESPECIALLY CHRYSLER.*JB

VEHICLE HAS 4 DIFFERENT SIZES OF TIRES. DARK OUT WHEN I BOUGHT VEHICLE. ALSO TRANSMISSION SLIPS IN AND OUT OF GEAR. A/C IMMEDIATELY QUIT WORKING. OILY BURNING SMELL AFTER DRIVEN. USES AN ABUNDANT AMOUNT OF GAS $25-30 A DAY. MY FRIEND NOTICED THE CORD COMING OUT OF THE TIRE A COUPLE WEEKS AFTER I GOT THE VAN BECAUSE IT WAS MAKING KLUNKING SOUNDS. I TOOK IT TO GOODYEAR AND THEY WERE APPALLED!

2008 CHRYSLER TOWN COUNTRY. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO SMOKING ENGINE COMPARTMENT, DEFECTIVE A/C AND RAMP DOOR. *LD 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.*JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START INTERMITTENTLY. ALSO, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO TALLAHASSEE DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM FIAT (3987 W TENNESSEE ST, TALLAHASSEE, FL 32304, (844) 280-9221) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT NO FAILURE WAS FOUND. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,000.

WHILE DRIVING THE VAN THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS CAME ON, INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS BEGAN TO FLASH, DOORS LOCKED AND UNLOCKED AND THE ENGINE LOST POWER. THE ALARM SYSTEM WENT OFF AND COULD NOT BE TURNED OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES WHEN DRIVING AND ALL THE POWER IS LOST TO THE POWER STEERING, ENGINE AND LIGHTS. IT IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AS IT CAN HAPPEN ON THE FREEWAY AS WELL AS ON A CITY STREET. WE HAVE BEEN STRANDED SO MANY TIMES AND HAVE FEARS TO DRIVE THIS VAN ANYWHERE! WE WERE STRANDED IN SEATTLE ON A CITY STREET AND HAD TO WAIT TWO HOURS FOR A TOW TRUCK TO TOW IT TO THE NEAREST DEALER THERE. WHEN IT ARRIVED AT THE DEALER IT WAS LATE AFTERNOON AND THE MECHANIC AGREED THAT THE SYSTEMS WERE NOT 'COMMUNICATING' WITH EACH OTHER BUT HE WOULD CHECK IT OUT IN THE MORNING...BY THE MORNING, THE VAN WAS NOT DOING IT'S CRAZINESS AND THE MECHANIC SAID HE COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH IT! WE HAVE HAD THE LOCAL DEALER CHECK IT OUT AND THEY CANNOT SEEM TO FIND THE PROBLEM, BUT OBVIOUSLY THERE IS A PROBLEM. WHY CAN'T CHRYSLER FIGURE THIS OUT? IT IS DANGEROUS AND SCARY AND OUR BELOVED VAN IS NO LONGER RELIABLE TRANSPORTATION FOR OUR FAMILY. NHTSA....THERE HAVE BEEN SO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM...IT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND, YES, IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE, BIG TIME! WE NEED YOUR HELP TO GET CHRYSLER TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THESE VANS. IT IS AS IF THEY ARE 'POSSESSED BY THE DEVIL' HELP US PLEASE! WHAT ELSE CAN WE DO?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR FLASHED AND REMAINED LIT. THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO PASS INSPECTION DUE TO THE FAILURE. IN ADDITION, THE KEY FOB FAILED TO LOCK AND UNLOCK THE DOORS. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS INSIDE THE VEHICLE, IF THE ELECTRIC FUNCTION BUTTON WAS PRESSED, THE CONTACT HAD TO OPEN THE DOORS MANUALLY FROM THE INSIDE. A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

WHILE IN MOTION, THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND ENGINE WILL SUDDENLY TURN OFF, WHICH WILL THEN DEPOWER VARIOUS KEY SAFETY SYSTEMS INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO AIR BAGS, POWER STEERING, AND POWER BRAKING. LOSS OF FUNCTIONALITY OF THESE SYSTEMS INCREASE THE RISK OF CRASH AND/OR INCREASE THE RISK OF INJURY IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. THIS HAPPENS WITH NO WARNING WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO DRIVE IT THIS WAY.

VEHICLE STALLED ON FREEWAY AT 60 MPH, ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. WAS ABLE TO COAST TO SHOULDER. UNABLE TO RESTART AND CONTINUE ON. FUEL RELAY FAILURE.

WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE SOMETIMES THE IGNITION SWITCH BECOMES ENGAGED AND DOES NOT RELEASE AUTOMATICALLY BACK TO THE ON POSITION. THIS CAUSES THE ENGINE TO CONTINUALLY REV AND NOT COMPLETE ENGINE START UP.

WHILE DRIVING THIS VAN, THIS VEHICLE STOPS IN MIDDLE OF THE DRIVING AND STEERING LOCKS. I CANNOT MOVE CAR LEFT OR RIGHT... IT LOCKS OFTEN. MAKE DRIVING OF THIS VEHICLE MAKES VERY DANGEROUS AND THIS IS A LIFE THREATENING DEFECT. WHY WOULD A MOVING VEHICLE STOPS SUDDENLY AND IT CAN BE RESTARTED AFTER TAKING OUT THE KEY ANF PLACING IT BACK IN. THIS ISSUE IS OCCURING WHEN VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. THE SAME ISSUE OCCURES TWICE A MONTH

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR IT STALLS AND SHUTS OFF. IT WAS SUPPOSIBLY RECALLED AND REPLACED IN 2015

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 86,000.

WHILE IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET THE VEHICLE'S ENGINE, POWER STEERING, AND BRAKES SHUT DOWN. LUCKILY NO ACCIDENT, BUT HAD TO COME TO A STOP ON CITY STREET WHILE TRAVELLING WITH TRAFFIC TO RESTART VEHICLE. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM APPEARED TO BE OPERATING BUT HAD TO USE MANUAL POWER TO STEER AND STOP THE VEHICLE - NO POWER FROM ENGINE. THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 6 OR 7 TIMES, BUT THREE TIMES IN PAST WEEK.

CAR ACTS POSSESSED, DASH LIGHTS FLICKER, INSIDE SOUND CHIMES, WIPERS GO ON THERE OWN, CAR LOSES POWER, TURN SIGNALS WON'T WORK, SHOP SAID ITS A FAULTY TIPM HAPPENS WHILE STATIONARY AND DRIVING

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS)- ROUTINELY SHOWS I HAVE 4 FLAT TIRES. IGNITION SWITCH, TPMS SENSORS, WIRING, STARTER HAVE ALL BEEN REPLACED, SOME NUMEROUS TIMES. IN ADDITION- CAR WILL SOMETIMES NOT START. WE HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS SINCE JUNE 2015. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER FOR THIS AT LEAST 10 TIMES, NO RESOLUTION.

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.

WONT START PUT FOB IN THE KEY WHOLE AND IT WONT TURN OVER ALL LIGHTS COME ON BATTERY HAS BEEN TESTED ALLTINATER TESTED AND ALL ARE FINE

WHILE DRIVING THE VAN GETS FLASHING LIGHTS ON THE DASH BOARD, THE ODOMETER STARTS TO BOUNCE ALL OVER THE PLACE. THEN THE VAN STALLS. IT HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING AND AT A STOP SIGN

WHILE DRIVING IT SHUTS OFF.

REAR AXLE BROKE, WHILE IN MOTION, JUST TURNED ONTO HWY SO WAS GOING PRETTY SLOW

STALLS WHILE DRIVING USUALLY AT LOW SPEED.LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND BRAKES IS DANGEROUS. RESTARTS WHEN TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED. SAME PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED LARGE NUMBER OF TIMES ON AUTO INTERNET SITES .CAR HAS 108000 MILES AND HAS BEEN STALLING THIS WAY FOR MANY MONTHS FROM TIME TO TIME USUALLY AFTER COLD START. MECHANICS HAVE BEEN ABLE TO REPRODUCE STALLS AND UNABLE TO CORRECT.

CAR STALLS (STOPS RUNNING) RANDOMLY AT SPEEDS BELOW 40 MPH. THIS CAUSES LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND BRAKES WHICH CAN LEAD TO A DANGEROUS SITUATION. I'VE ALMOST RUN INTO A TREE OR OFF THE ROAD ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS SINCE THIS HAPPENS RANDOMLY. THE TRACTION LIGHT COMES ON FIRST AND THEN YOU REALIZE THE ENGINE ISN'T RUNNING ANYMORE. YOU HAVE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND THEN START IT AGAIN. IT MAY BE FINE FOR THE REST OF THE DRIVE OR IT MAY STALL AGAIN. TOTALLY RANDOM AS TO WHEN IT DOES THIS. IT HAS NOT HAPPENED AT HIGH SPEEDS ON THE HIGHWAY AS OF YET. I'VE HAD THE CAR TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES WITH THIS COMPLAINT AND EACH TIME THEY CAN'T REPLICATE IT OR IT WAS DUE TO THE KEY FOB RECALL WHICH WAS PERFORMED ON MY CAR 3 TIMES.

STRONG FUEL SMELL THROUGH THE HEATING / DEFROST / AIR-CONDITIONING SYSTEM WHEN STOPPED / STATIONARY. THIS IS A CONTINUOUS PROBLEM.

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND ALL THE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 160,000. *TT CONSUMER STATED INDEPENDENT DEALER WORKS FOR DEALERSHIP AND OWNS THEIR OWN DIAGNOSTIC TESTING MODULE. *JB

THE VAN DOES NOT START AT TIMES. THE IGNITION SWITCH WILL BE TURNED AS IF TO FIRE UP AND THERE IS NO CONNECTION, IT JUST CLICKS. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE USED FROM SIGN IT/DRIVE IT IN DENTON, TX ON APRIL 21, 2018. IT HAS NOT STARTED OVER 45 TIMES SINCE I HAVE HAD IT AND IT IS ALWAYS FROM THE CRANK-UP POSITION (MEANING IT HAS NEVER JUST CUT OFF). I HAVE CHANGED THE STARTER, BATTERY, CRANK SENSOR, AS WELL AS THE STARTER RELAY FUSE. I KNOW THERE IS A RECALL ON THE 2009 YEAR, MAKE , AND MODEL FOR THE EXACT SAME THING. I BELIEVE IT IS IN THIS 2008 MODEL TOO.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. WHILE DRIVING AT UNKNOWN SPEEDS, THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WENT HAYWIRE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE LIGHTING FLASHED ON AND OFF, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL GAUGES WENT TO ZERO, AND THE DOORS COULD NOT BE OPENED. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER AND STOPPED THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE EVENTUALLY RETURNED TO NORMAL, BUT THE FAILURES RECURRED BEFORE THE CONTACT ARRIVED HOME. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OLD AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE CONTACT BELIEVED THAT THE FAILURES COULD BE DUE TO FAULTY WIRING ON THE DRIVER'S DOOR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 200,000.

VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND PARKED FOR HOURS IN THE DRIVEWAY. FOR NO REASON THE ALARM WENT OFF ON MY CAR. FOUND KEY FOB TO SHUT OFF ALARM. DAUGHTER WENT TO SEE WHAT HAPPENED, THEN CAME TO TELL ME THERE WAS SMOKE COMING FROM MY REAR PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR. WENT OUTSIDE AND HEARD NOISE THAT DOOR WAS TRYING TO OPEN. USED KEY FOB TO TRY TO UNLOCK DOOR. TRIED TO MANUALLY OPEN DOOR. DOOR WOULDN'T OPEN AND SMOKE CONTINUED. DIDN'T KNOW IF FIRE WAS INSIDE DOOR AND WAS PARKED BY GARAGE SO CALLED 911 TO PUT OUT POTENTIAL FIRE. CONCERNED THAT THERE WAS ELECTRICAL PROBLEM SO CONTINUED TO PARK CAR IN STREET NOT CLOSE TO HOUSE. CALLED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD SEND AN INVESTIGATOR DUE TO CONCERN OF FIRE. DEALER SAID PROBLEM WAS DUE TO A BROKEN DOOR LATCH AND MECHANICAL ASSEMBLY MECHANISM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED IN ADDITION TO DOOR HANDLE FOR $1200, BUT DIDN'T WANT TO GET WORK DONE UNTIL I GOT THE INFORMATION FROM THE INVESTIGATION. ABOUT 3 WEEKS LATER GOT A LETTER FROM CHRYSLER SPECIAL INVESTIGATIONS. THEY SAID DUE TO THE AGE AND MILEAGE OF MY VEHICLE, THERE ARE A NUMBER OF FACTORS OUTSIDE THE MANUFACTURER'S CONTROL THAT COULD HAVE BEEN CONTRIBUTED TO YOUR INCIDENT. *DT UPDATED 10/30/18*JB

INTERMITTENTLY, WHILE DRIVING, THE DRIVER'S SEAT WITH ACTIVATE AND MOVE BACKWARDS A FEW INCHES AND THEN FORWARDS A FEW INCHES. THIS IS OFTEN ACCOMPANIED BY AN AUDIBLE CHIME AND THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS FLASHING ON ONCE. THE SPEEDOMETER AND TACHOMETER WILL ALSO BRIEFLY START TO DROP TOWARD 0 WHEN THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS FLASH ON BEFORE RETURNING TO NORMAL WHEN THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS TURN OFF. THE MOVEMENT OF THE DRIVER'S SEAT WHILE ACTIVELY DRIVING COULD BE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE WHEN IT OCCURS UNEXPECTEDLY OR IF IT WERE TO HAPPEN TO MOVE ALL THE WAY FORWARD OR BACKWARD. THIS BEHAVIOR AT TIMES WILL REPEAT EVERY MINUTE OR SO. OTHER TIMES IT WILL NOT OCCUR FOR SEVERAL DAYS.

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!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE TURN SIGNALS FAILED TO OPERATE INTERMITTENTLY. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE BRAKE, ABS, TRACTION CONTROL, AND ESP/BAS WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 116,000.

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

I WAS INVOLVED IN A LOW SPEED FRONTAL CRASH ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. I WAS BELTED IN AND DIDN'T EVEN TOUCH THE AIRBAG, BUT THE AIRBAG SHOT FLAMES OUT OF THE RIGHT SIDE HOLE BURNING MY ARM LIKE A BLOWTORCH. I HAVE PHOTOS OF THE INJURY AND IT'S HEALING STAGE. I WAS ADVISED TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL FOR STITCHES AS IT SPLIT MY ARM OPEN WIDE, BUT I'D BEEN THERE 5 TIMES IN THE LAST 8 MONTHS AND JUST DRESSED IT MYSELF. THE AIRBAG IS SUPPOSED TO HELP PREVENT INJURY AND IT WAS THE ONLY THING THAT CAUSED AN INJURY! *TT

JUST REPLACED MY BATTERY FROM AAA AND WAS TOLD EVERYTHING ELSE IS GOOD JUST MY BATTERY IS COMPLETELY DRAINED AND THIS MORNING I COULD NOT START MY CAR AT ALL THEN LATER IT STARTED BUT I GOT STUCK AT WORK NOW AND IT WONT START AT ALL NOT EVEN A JUMP WILL HELP. ALSO WHILE DRIVING IT GOES CRAZY FROM TIME TO TIME AND THE SPEEDOMETER SHOOTS UP SOO HIGH THAT I GET SCARED AND HAVE TO HOLD ON TIGHT TO THE STEERING WHEEL. MY AC WORKS WHEN IT WANTS TOO AND IN JAN I WAS TOLD MY VAN'S BACK CALIPERS ARE SHOT. I WAS DRIVING FOR A YEAR WITH NO BACK CALIPERS MEANWHILE THE FRONT ONE GOT STUCK AND TURNED BRIGHT RED AND I HAD TO GET THAT ONE REPLACED LAST YEAR. ITS JUST ONE PROBLEM AFTER ANOTHER. I FEEL LIKE IM CONSTANTLY REPLACING SOMETHING.

TORQUE CONVERTER LOCKED UP WHILE IN MOTION ON 4-LANE ROAD. IT TO BE TOWED TO THE MACHANIC, WHO FOND NO REASON FOR THE PART TO LOCK UP AS IT DID.

THIS TOOK PLACE WHILE MY WIFE WAS PICKING UP THE CHILDREN FROM SCHOOL THE LIGHS IN THE DASHBOARD STARTED BLINKING AND THE VAN STALLED, COMPLETELY POWERED OFF. ALL ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS WAS COMPLETLY OUT OF CONTROL. THE WIPERS TURNED ON AS WELL THE LOCKS ON THE DOORS DIDN'T WORK MY WIFE AND CHILDREN WERE LOCK IN THE VEHICLE. ALL WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD TURNED ON. THE AC QUIT WORKING, AFTER 15-20 MINUTES THE VAN STARTED UP, THE NEXT DAY IVE DECIDED TO TAKE THE VAN TO WORK NOTHING HAPPEN AT THAT TIME, BUT 10 MINUTES AFTER I GOT OFF AROUND 10:00 PM ALL HELL BROKE LOOSE LIGHTS BLINKING, WIPER ON, STEERING WHEEL VIBRATING, RADIO AND A/C CUT OFF, IT WAS LIKE THE VEHICLE WAS POSSESS. THIS IS A DANGEROUS AND UNSAFE NOT ONLY FOR THE DRIVING IN THIS VEHICLE, BUT EVERYONE ON THE ROAD, WHY THIS ISSUE HAVE NOT BEEN ADDRESS WHERE IS THE RECALL, IS CHRYSLER WAITING FOR SOMEBODY TO GET INJURY OR DIE, BEFORE ANY ACTION TAKE PLACE. PLEASE ADDRESS THIS ISSUE ASAP.

MY BATTERY LIGHT, ABS, TRACTION LIGHTS COME ON AND I LOSE MY A/C WHEN IT FEELS LIKE 110 OUT

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.

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND OCCUPIED WITH PASSENGERS, THE FRONT PASSENGER AND REAR SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAGS DEPLOYED WITHOUT WARNING OR IMPACT. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO MAC HAIK FORD LINCOLN (7201 S INTERSTATE HIGHWAY 35, GEORGETOWN, TX 78626, (512) 930-3673). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 165,000.

YOU HEAR A DING, THEN ALL WARNING LIGHTS COME ON, WIPERS COME ON, RADIO QUITS, LOCKS QUITS WORKING, WINDOWS DON''T WORK, NOTHING ELECTRICAL WORKS! IT ALL STARTED AFTER IGNITION SWITCH RECALL WAS DONE, WE HAVE HAD IT THE SHOP MULTIPLE TIMES, AND THEY CANNOT FIGURE IT OUT, WE CHANGED OUT THE TIPM MODULE, AND IT DID NOT WORK EITHER, THEY ARE NOT SURE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS, WE HAVE PUT LOTS OF MONEY IN IT, AND STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM...THERE IS 5 OTHER PEOPLE HER IN WYANDOTTE THAT IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS...I HAVE A HANDICAP DAUGHTER THAT DEPENDS ON MY VAN, IT DOES THIS ALL THE TIME, AND ITS DANGEROUS FOR HER...PLEASE HELP US FIGURE THIS OUT,,I LOVE OUR VAN, BUT SCARED OF IT TOO..WE HAVE HAD IT IN OVERLAND PARK JEEP...THANKS FOR YOUR TIME, AND I HOPE YOU CAN HELP US FIGURE OUT WHATS GOING ON...THANK YOU

VEHICLE FAILED TO START WHILE PARKED IN OUR DRIVEWAY. HAD BATTERY, STARTER, ALTERNATOR RELAYS TESTED AND NO PROBLEMS FOUND. HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO DEALER, WHO JUST INFORMED ME THAT IGNITION MODULE KIT & KEY FOBS MUST BE REPLACED IN ORDER TO START ENGINE, COST $902.00 + TAX. WE HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM IN AUG. 2012, AND AGAIN IN JUNE 2015 WE HAD RECALL REPAIR DONE. THIS WILL BE THE THIRD TIGNITION MODULE & SET OF KEYS. APPARENTLY CHRYSLERS PERMANENT SOLUTION LASTS 3 YEARS.

OIL DRAIN PLUG & OIL PAN STRIPPED. IT CAUSE ENGINE OIL LEAK

AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON MEANING SYSTEM IN NOT FUNCTIONING. IMPACT SENSORS HAVE BEEN REPLACED AFTER WHICH THE LIGHT CAME ON INTERMITTENTLY. I BELIEVE THIS VEHICLE SHOULD HAVE THE L01 RECALL BASED OFF OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN# 16V047.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM - TIPM: STARTER FUSE RELAY IS MALFUNCTIONING CAUSING THE STARTER TO INTERMEDIATELY NOT WORK. PROBLEMS WHEN IT MALFUNCTIONS: THE STARTER CRANKS BUT WON'T START. OTHER TIMES THE STARTER WILL START TO CRANK AND THE TIPM SENDS A MESSAGE TO THE STARTER CAUSING IT TO SHORT CIRCUIT. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON OFF AND ON SINCE 5/15/2017.
