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

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.

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

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!

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

MY VEHICLE IS SHUTTING OFF WHILE I AM DRIVING. NORMALLY IT IS WHEN I AM COASTING BETWEEN 20 TO 30 MPH. THE LIGHT AND EVERYTHING STAY ON BUT THE STEERING AND BRAKES NO LONGER WORK. IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR 2 YEARS BUT NOW MORE FREQUENTLY.

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.

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

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

OCCASIONAL NON START, LIKE ITS A DEAD BATTERY. COME BACK IN 5 MINUTES AND NO PROBLEM STARTING.

AS I LEFT MY APARTMENT TO GO TO WORK, AND AFTER DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 1 MILE, I APPROACHED A STOP LIGHT. AS I PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL, SUDDENLY MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT, THE "TRACTION" LIGHT TURNED ON ON MY DASHBOARD, AND THE ENGINE TURNED OFF. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK, TURNED THE KEY TO THE OFF POSITION, THEN RESTARTED THE VAN. IT DROVE FINE AFTER THAT. HAVING THE ENGINE, STEERING, AND BRAKES ALL SHUT DOWN RANDOMLY WHILE THE ELECTRICAL ITEMS STILL WORK WAS FRIGHTENING. IF IT HAPPENS ON THE HIGHWAY, I DON'T KNOW WHAT I WILL DO.

WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF WITHOUT WARNING. THIS HAS OCCURRED ON THE STREET AND EXPRESSWAY. THE VEHICLE WILL START UP AGAIN WHEN PUT IN NEUTRAL. AFTER STARTING AND DRIVING THE THE VAN, IT WOULD SHUT DOWN AGAIN WITHOUT WARNING.

THE SLIDING DOORS FAILED TO OPEN AND CLOSE ELECTRONICALLY, CAUSING THE CONTACT TO HAVE TO MANUALLY UTILIZE THE DOOR.

THE VAN SHUT OFF WITH NO WARNING AT ALL. MY KIDS MOTHER SAID THAT TWO TRACTOR TRAILER MISS THEM BY A HAIR PIN DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE 95 SOUTH IN VA. SHE HAD NO STEERING CONTROL AND BRAKES AT ALL. COULD NOT RESTART THE ENGINE AFTER SHE PUT IT IN NEUTRAL. HAD TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP IN THE CENTER LANE OF A THREE LANE HIGHWAY 95S . SHE VERY SCARE AFRAID THAT SOMEONE WAS GOING TO PLOW IN BACK OF HER OUR TWO KIDS. SHE HAD TO PUT THE GEAR SHIFT BACK IN PARK TO RESTART THE VAN. YOU EDUCATED PEOPLE KNOW THIS IS HAPPEN ALL ACROSS AMERICAN AND YOU LETTING PEOPLE PUT THERE LIFE IN DANGER ,WHY BECAUSE BIG CHRYSLER COMPANY RULES.

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.

AT INTERMITTENT TIMES THE HORN GOES OFF AND THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS TURN ON AND IT SQUIRTS WASHER FLUID. SOMETIMES WHILE STATIONARY AND SOMETIMES WHILE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WILL SHUT DOWN ON ITS OWN WHETHER DRIVING SLOW ON A SIDE STREET OR AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THIS STARTED LAST SPRING (2016). I'VE READ NUMEROUS REPORTS OF THIS HAPPENING AND THAT IT IS THE TIPM MODULE. I SPOKE TO THE DEALER LAST YEAR ABOUT IT AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL ISSUED. I'VE ALSO SEEN THAT THIS HAS NOT BEEN CONSIDERED A SAFETY ISSUE. HOW SO? THIS IS VERY MUCH A SAFETY ISSUE AND IT NEEDS TO BE A RECALL. ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS ARE NOT A MECHANICAL 'WEAR AND TEAR' ITEM. I DON'T HAVE ANY DOCUMENTATION OF AN INCIDENT YET AND I HOPE MY WIFE AND KIDS DON'T HAVE HAVE ONE!

ALL FOUR BRAKE SYSTEM LIGHTS ARE LITE UP. STEERING HAS BECOME LOOSE AND STEERING WHEEL WOBBLES. I HAVE CHANGED THE PADS ON BRAKES 4 TIMES IN A YEAR AND MY ROTORS ARE STILL VERY GROOVED. DUST IS SUCKING UP INTO THE CAB OF THE VEHICLE FOR NO REASON. THERE IS A KNOCKING COMING FROM THE ENGINE THAT SOMETIMES IS THERE BUT MOST OF THE TIME ITS PRESENT WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER I BOUGHT FROM THAT WAS NORMAL IN THESE VANS. HAS A HARD TIME COMING TO A STOP NOW. I CAN NOT BELIEVE THIS HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED CODES ON MACHINE THAT ARE INDICATED ARE C2200 AND C2205 WHICH ARE RIDICULOUS TO BUY AND FROM WHAT I HAVE READ EVERYONE IS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THEM
