Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)While driving, the engine will shut off resulting in a loss of power steering and brakes, amongst other systems. Very hazardous. Previous models have been recalled for this same issue and I would like to report it is STILL an issue in the 2010 town & country limited.
The contact owns a 2010 Chrysler Town and Country. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle, the headlights would randomly turn off, creating a visibility hazard for the driver. When the failure occurred, the headlights could not be reactivated. Additionally, the braking system would randomly malfunction causing an extended stopping distance. The vehicle was taken to the local mechanic who diagnosed that the TIPM was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The local dealer and manufacturer were notified of the failure but no assistance was offered. Previously while driving at various speeds the vehicle had experienced jerking and shaking. The vehicle was taken to the local mechanic who replaced the transmission. The failure mileage was 151,000.
MY WIFE WAS DRIVING, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. SHE WAS APPROACHIGN A STOP SIGN INTERSECTION WHEN THIS OCCURRED. ALL 3 OF MY KIDS IN THE CAR. THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL LIGHTS CAME ON, POWER STEERING AND BRAKES WERE AFFECTED. VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED. VERY DANGEROUS. THERE ARE MULTIPLE TRAIN CROSSINGS IN MY AREA AND MY WIFE AND I DRIVE THESE ROUTES FREQUENTLY. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON CONCERN BASED ON THE COMPLAINTS AND NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED. I URGE ANYONE WHO EXPERIENCES THIS TO REPORT IT TO THE NHTSA. I URGE THE NHTSA TO OPEN AN INVESTIGATION AND INITIATE A RECALL ON THIS MATTER WHICH COULD POTENTIALLY AFFECT THOUSANDS OF DRIVERS (VEHICLE OWNERS) AS WELL AS THE PUBLIC AT LARGE.

WHEN TRYING TO PUT CAR IN MANUAL MODE THE SHIFTER DOESN'T CHANGE GEARS. THIS CAUSES AN ISSUE WHEN TRYING TO SHIFT TO LOWER GEARS IN BAD WEATHER. I HAVE READ MANY FORUMS ON THIS ISSUE AND IT SEEMS AS THO IT IS COMPLETELY A DESIGN FLAW. THERE IS A PLASTIC PIECE THAT RUBS ON THE WIRES AND SHORTS THEM OUT EVENTUALLY CAUSING YOU NOT TO SWITCH GEARS MANUALLY, WHICH CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IN BAD WEATHER
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.
2010 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY WILL CLICK ONCE, BUT WILL NOT TURN OVER. THIS ISSUE TYPICALLY HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN RUNNING FOR A WHILE, AND THE ENGINE IS HOT, OR DURING HOTTER MONTHS. THIS CAUSES CAR TO NOT TURN ON WHEN HOT, NOT OVER HEATED, JUST HOT. THIS HAS BEEN NOTED ON MANY OTHER WEBSITES FOR THIS SAME YEAR AND PEOPLE BELIEVE IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE TRANSMISSION SENSOR NOT KNOWING IF THE CAR IS IN PARK OR DRIVE. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO OTHER YEARS CAUSING VEHICLE TO SLIP INTO OTHER GEARS. THIS COULD BE CONSIDERED DANGEROUS. THIS HAS BEEN OCCURRING ON VEHICLE SINCE THREE MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE FROM DEALER WITH NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS COMING ON OR ANY RUNNING ISSUES.
CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY STALLS AND SHUTS DOWN WHILE DRIVING AT ANY POINT THAT CAN DO IT AND ALL THE POWER STEERING AND HEADLIGHTS AND ENGINE SHUT OFF IT DOES IT IN TOWN AND ON HIGHWAYS

ENGINE SHUTS OFF WHILE IN MOTION IN DRIVE MODE. THIS HAPPENS AT ANY RATE OF SPEED, 70 MPH TO 10 MPH, IN GOOD WEATHER CONDITIONS, ON THE HIGHWAY AND LOCAL STREETS, DRIVING STRAIGHT OR TURNING SLIGHTLY. THE ABS MODULE TESTED BAD 9 MONTHS AGO AND WAS REPLACED BY AUTO ELECTRIC SPECIALISTS OF HOUSTON. THIS DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. I HAVE NOT HAD THE ECM REPLACED. MY CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP CANNOT FIND THE PROBLEM AND HAS TOLD ME TO KEEP DRIVING AND TO BRING THE CAR IN RIGHT AWAY IF THE ISSUE HAPPENS AGAIN. THE CAR SCARES ME!!! IT HAS SHUT OFF THREE TIMES NOW IN THE LAST YEAR. I WONDER IF THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM THAT HAS NOW BEEN REPORTED WITH THE 2017 CHRYSLER PACIFICA?
