TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. FURY MOTORS IN SOUTH SAINT PAUL, MINNESOTA 55075 WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE, BUT WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 105,000.

FOR THE LAST FIVE YEARS WE HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH A MYSTERIOUS ELECTRICAL ISSUE. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE OF THE SAME ISSUE. THE VAN WILL BE FINE AND YOU GET IN TO START IT AND WHEN TURNING THE KEY IT WILL NOT START. FULL CHARGE, FULL BATTERY. STARTER IS FINE - EVERYTHING CHECKS OUT FINE. WITH A JUMP IT WILL USUALLY START. SOMETIMES IT WILL START ON IT'S OWN IF YOU WAIT A LITTLE WHILE. PEOPLE ON BOARDS HAVE STATED REPLACING DOZENS OF THINGS - TO THEN HAVE THE SAME ISSUE A COUPLE DAYS LATER. WE ARE USE TO HAVING TO JUMP OUR VEHICLE ABOUT 1 OUT OF 20 TIMES. WE HAVE TAKEN IT TO MULTIPLE MECHANICS AND HAD MULTIPLE THINGS CHECKED AND REPLACED. AN EXAMPLE OF A BOARD WITH MANY OTHERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME THING CAN BE FOUND HERE: HTTPS://FORUMS.EDMUNDS.COM/DISCUSSION/12634/CHRYSLER/TOWN-AND-COUNTRY/2008-T-C-IGNITION-SWITCH-PROBLEM/P1 IN ADDITION - SOMETIMES YOU WILL BE DRIVING AND EVERYTHING STARTS GOING OFF (WIPERS, LIGHTS, FLASHERS, HORN, ENTIRE DASH LIGHTS UP, ETC - NO RESOLVE). THIS CAN HAPPEN WHILE STATIONARY OR DRIVING.

VEHICLE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. HOW CAN THIS PROBLEM, ADDRESSED LITERALLY HUNDREDS AND THOUSANDS OF TIMES ON MULTIPLE SITES, BE JUDGED BY YOUR DEPARTMENT AS NOT A "SAFETY ISSUE"? I, ALONG WITH MY WIFE, HAVE BEEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WITH MY FAMILY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND THE VAN COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING DOWN MY DRIVEWAY AT LOW SPEEDS AND THE VAN COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN. THE VAN BEHAVES AS IF POSSESSED. THE HORN BLARES, FRONT AND REAR WIPERS COME ON BY THEMSELVES, FLASHERS COME ON BY THEMSELVES, DOORS LOCK BY THEMSELVES, WASHER FLUID SPRAYS ON ITS OWN AT A HIGH VOLUME. I HAVE DECIDED, SINCE NHTSA, CHRYSLER, AND MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP CAN'T/WON'T HELP, THAT I WILL CALL AN EXORCIST. I BELIEVE THE EXORCIST WILL BE ABOUT AS MUCH HELP AS THE THREE OF YOU COMBINED. I ASSUME IF MY BEAUTIFUL WIFE AND DAUGHTER ARE KILLED AS A RESULT OF THE ENGINE SHUTTING OFF AT RANDOM SPEEDS ONE OF YOU THREE WILL PAY THE FUNERAL EXPENSE? OR AT LEAST SEND SOME FLOWERS TO THE VISITATION? HOW NICE OF YOU. OR SHOULD I JUST CONTACT THE EXORCIST AGAIN AND SEE IF SHE HAS A FRIEND THAT COULD HOLD A SEANCE SO I CAN TELL THEM HOW MUCH I LOVED THEM AND THAT THEIR SAFETY WAS JUST NOT A PRIORITY FOR YOU? SERIOUSLY. IT IS TIME TO DO SOMETHING. I DO NOT HAVE THE KIND OF MONEY THE DEALERSHIP IS ASKING ME TO PAY FOR A WIDELY KNOWN AND ACCEPTED DEFECT IN THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS OF THEIR VEHICLE. THE TOTAL INTEGRATED POWER MODULE (TIPM) IS FAULTY. EVERYONE KNOWS IT. THE COMPANY ACKNOWLEDGES IT. THOUSANDS HAVE BEEN REPLACED AT THE OWNER'S EXPENSE. WHEN IS SOMEONE GOING TO STEP UP? HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE IT BECOMES A "SAFETY ISSUE" TO YOU? SO FOR NOW I HAVE A VERY EXPENSIVE LAWN ORNAMENT AND MY FAMILY HAS TO BUM RIDES. UNBELIEVABLE.

HORN SUDDENLY STARTS BLARING, WIPERS START WIPING, DOOR LOCKS LOCK, IF ENGINE IS RUNNING IT MIGHT STOP, WHEN THIS FIRST HAPPENED THE CAR WAS SHUT OFF AND SITTING IN DRIVE.

WHEN DRIVING FOR A SHORT TRIP OR LONGER, WHEN SHOPPING OR NOT IN USE, THE CAR WILL NOT START ON 1ST, 2ND OR 5TH TRY. REPLACED BATTERY, STARTER 4 MONTHS AGO. THIS OCCURS WITH NO WARNING AND NO SPECIAL TIME, IT CAN HAPPEN NOW, A WEEK FROM NOW AND MONTHS-FROM NOW. I BELIEVE IT'S THE IGNITION SWITCH. I BOUGHT THE CAR USED IN 2017 AND THIS HAS BEEN HAPPING SINCE. IF YOU CAN GIVE ME SOME GUIDANCE ON THIS AND HELP ME FIX IT OR SELL IT. HOPEFULLY THERE IS A CALL ON THIS.

WHILE DRIVING ENGINE SHUT OFF,

I CAN NOT SHUT HEAD LIGHTS OFF WHEN THE CAR IS OFF AND ALSO HEADLIGHT FLICKER WHILE DRIVING AND SHUT OFF 2 TIMES IN PAST MONTH WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY LIGHTS COMPLETLY SHUT OFF NO REAR OR FRONT LIGHTS PULLED OVER AND CHECKED ALL FUSES WHILE DOING THIS LIGHTS JUST CAME ON GOT HOME COULDNT SHUT THEM OFF HAD TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY 3 WEEKS OF DOING THIS LIGHTS FINALLY SHUIT OFF ON THERE OWN AND YESTERDAT PROBLEM STARTED ALL OVER AGAIN SOMEBODY TOLD ME UNPLUG THE HEADLIGHT SWITHCH WICH I DID AND THE LIGHTS ARE STILL ON

WHILE I'M DRIVING MY VEHICLE HOME FROM WORK IT WILL STALL, TAKING THE ABILITY TO STEER AWAY. LIKE IT JUST SHUTS OFF RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING. IT USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN I AM TURNING OR GOING AROUND A CURVE.

THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE HAD TO REFUEL THE VEHICLE WITH FUEL APPROXIMATELY EVERY TEN MINUTES AS THE FUEL GAUGE CONTINUED TO DISPLAY EMPTY. IN ADDITION, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT AUTO SHOP WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A FAILURE IN INJECTOR NUMBER FOUR THAT NEEDED REPLACEMENT.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 47,000.

I AM HAVING ISSUES WITH MY 2008 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY VAN. I RECENTLY HAD THE DEALERSHIP WORK ON SOME RECALLS FOR THIS MODEL. AT THAT TIME, IT WASN'T SHOWING ANY PROBLEMS. ONLY AFTER THE RECALLS WERE ADDRESSED DID THE TROUBLE BEGIN. NOW, IT SPORADICALLY WILL NOT RECOGNIZE EITHER KEY FOB. WAIT A WHILE AND TRY TO CRANK IT AND IT STARTS BACK UP. TODAY, 100 MILES FROM HOME WITH 4 SMALL CHILDREN AS PASSENGERS, IT DECIDED TO HAVE A FIT AT THE GAS PUMP AND NOT START. CALLED ROAD SIDE ASSISTANCE AND WAITED FOR THEM TO ARRIVE JUST IN TIME FOR VAN TO DECIDE IT WANTED TO CRANK AGAIN. CRANKED IT UP AND TRIED TO PARK IT AT A FRIENDS HOUSE CLOSE BY. DETECTED WHAT SEEMED LIKE SURGES WITH THE FUEL PUMP WHILE TRYING TO GET THERE. FINALLY GOT TO A STOPPING POINT AND TURNED THE KEY OFF AND THE VAN KEPT RUNNING. THE WIPERS WENT CRAZY AND THE HORN STARTED BLOWING ALL BY ITSELF. IS THIS VEHICLE POSSESSED BY THE DEVIL OR WHAT? IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AND I HAVE NO OTHER CHOICE BUT TO TOW IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. I DON'T KNOW IF ANYONE ELSE HAS THE SAME PROBLEM BUT I SAY THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE! IF THERE ISNT A RECALL ALREADY ISSUED, THERE CERTAINLY NEEDS TO BE ONE.

MY TRACTION SENSOR IS NOT WORKING WHICH IS CAUSING MY A SAFETY ISSUE. WHEN I START DRIVING (IN MOTION), THE ABS TRACTION STARTS EVEN WHEN THERE IS NO WATER, ICE OR POOR DRIVING CONDITIONS. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE ABS MODULE AND ITS STILL DOING IT. THEY NOW SAY THEY WILL HAVE TO REPLACE THE SENSOR IN THE STEERING COLUMN (WHEEL). THIS IS VERY SCARY AS IT STOPS MY ACCELERATION AND IT AFFECTS THE ANTI-LOCK BREAKS. I WAS HOPING THIS WAS ALL DUE TO AN MINOR AUTO COLLISION BUT THE INSURANCE COMPANY TOLD ME THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO WAY THIS COULD HAVE BEEN CAUSED BECAUSE OF IT. THEY SAID ITS A COINCIDENCE AND THAT IT JUST HAPPENED ON ITS OWN AT THE SAME TIME. I WOULD SAY THE FAULT IS UNKNOWN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. WHILE THE IGNITION WAS IN THE ON POSITION, THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM BECAME INOPERABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE TIPM FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED, BUT THE PARTS WERE ORDERED. THE LOCAL DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 99,100. UPDATED 10/17/17*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED PURCHASED A NEW TIPM AT THE COST OF $900. *TR

AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY IN THE CRASH. VAN HAS BEEN TOTALED BY THE INSURANCE. MUCH FRONT END DAMAGE; VAN FLIPPED END FOR END BRAKING WINDSHIELD & BOTH FRONT DRIVERS & PASSENGERS WINDOWS. SEAT BELTS SAVED THEIR LIVES, WITH INJURIES TO BODY & HEADS. VAN SPEED MAYBE 40 M.P.H. ON HIGHWAY & UPHILL ON A CURVE. SINGLE VEHICLE ACCIDENT, DRIVER BLINDED BY ON COMING HEADLIGHTS FROM ANOTHER VEHICLE. WE NEVER RECEIVED A RECALL, BUT LOOKS LIKE MODULAR/AIRBAG CONTROL UNIT MAY CORRODE & FAIL, RECALL S07 FOR SOME 2008 VANS ONLY. NHTSA REFERENCE #16V047000 & NUMBER AFFECTED 111,519 VANS. MY VIN# SHOWS NO RECALLS OPEN FOR IT & SHOWS ALL OTHERS HAVE BEEN DONE. THIS RECALL SHOULD HAVE BEEN ON MY VAN TOO. NOT ONE AIRBAG WENT OFF & WE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. THE VAN IS TOTALED, MOST DAMAGE TO FRONT, EVEN BUMPER IS BENT RIGHT UNDER, WHAT MORE DAMAGE DOES IT TAKE FOR THE AIRBAGS TO GO OFF. PLEASE CHECK OUT WHY MINE WAS NOT RECALLED. ...UPDATED 08/02/17 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. *JS

EVERY TIME THE I REMOVE THE KEY IN THE IGNITION AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE, IT DOES NOT EITHER TURN OFF AND KEEPS RUNNING OR THE KEY CAN NOT BE REMOVED AFTER PLACING IT IN PARK. I HAVE 2 SETS OF KEY FOBS, AND IT HAPPENS TO BOTH OF THEM. IT HAS GOTTEN TO THE POINT WHERE I WILL NOT DRIVE IT WITH MY FAMILY OF 6. I HAVE BEEN RECEIVING LETTERS FROM CHRYSLER STATING THAT THEY HAVE NO TIME TABLE FOR A REPLACEMENT OF THE IGNITION SWITCH. IT HAS BEEN OVER 2 YEARS OF LETTERS WITH NO ANSWER IN SIGHT. STARTING TO GET TO THE POINT OF HIRING AN ATTORNEY IF NOTHING IS GETTING RESOLVED SOON.

FRONT BLOWER FAN CUTS ON AND OFF. HAD BLOWER FAN, HEAD CONTROL UNIT, AND BLOWER FAN RESISTOR CHANGED YET STILL DOESN'T WORK. FRONT BLOWER FAN SHOULD BE WIRED LIKE REAR BLOWER FAN AND NOT GO THROUGH TIPM

WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE HORN STARTED BLOWING AND THE WIND SHIELD WIPERS WENT FULL SPEED AND THE MOTOR TURNED OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE TIPM WAS BAD AND THEY HAVE A TON OF THESE VEHICLES WITH THIS PROBLEM! IT IS A VERY EXPENSIVE FIX AND SHOULD BE A RECALL ITEM DUE TO IT BEING A SAFETY PROBLEM! THE VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN AND YOU LOOSE ALL POWER! I HAVE SEEN ONLINE OTHER ISSUES WHERE THE AIR BAGS ACTUALLY DEPLOYED. I AM SO SCARED TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW IF IT WILL MALFUNCTION AGAIN!! IT HAS HAPPEN AT LEAST 3 TIMES ALREADY.

HEADLIGHTS TURN ON MOMENTARILY AND THEN TURN OFF. . THEY FLICKER. VEHICLE CAN BE STATIONARY.OR WHILE DRIVING. IF DRIVING CANNOT ALWAYS BE SURE THE HEADLIGHT HAVE COME OR JUST THE FOG LIGHTS. FOG LIGHTS REMAIN ON HEADLIGHTS ARE QUESTIONABLE AFTER TURNING THEM ON FROM HEAD LAMP SWITCH.

THE ENGINE SHUTS DOWN WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES AT LESS THAN 15 MPH ON MY PRIVATE ROAD AND 1 TIME AT ~30 MPH ON A PUBLIC ROAD THROUGH TOWN. I HAVE ONLY OWNED THIS VEHICLE A COUPLE OF MONTHS AND THE PREVIOUS OWNER PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM A DEALER IN JANUARY ONLY OWNED THE VEHICLE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ATTEMPTING DRIVE OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY AT THE RESIDENCE, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITH TWO UNKNOWN WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE RESTARTED AFTER EACH FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SOUTHFIELD CHRYSLER (28100 TELEGRAPH RD, SOUTHFIELD, MI 48034, (248)331-9937, TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE OR RETRIEVE A FAULT CODE. THE FAILURE RECURRED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE SAME DEALER. THE KEYFOB WAS REPLACED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

MY AIRBAG WARNING KEEPS COMING ON AN YOU CAN SMELL ANTI FREEZE. AND I HAVE HAD THE AIR SHUT DOWN AND THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN IT STARTS BACK UP BUT IT IS SCARY. THANK GOD IT HAS NOT HAPPENED ON THE FREEWAY.

REAR AIR CONTER

Out of the blue, my passenger rear sliding door on my 2008 minivan stopped responding to my key fob and the overhead button to open or close. There have been times it's been stuck in the locked position making my children either going out the other door and even climbing over to the front seat to get out. It is available for inspection upon request and as I have never taken it in to get looked at, the problem has not been reproduced or confirmed. It has not been inspected by anyone. Prior to this failing, there were no warning lamps or messages given off by the vehicle.

TRANSMISSION ABRUPTLY, SEEMS AS IF IT CANNOT FIND THE CORRECT POSITION TO SHIFT TO CAUSING AN EXTREME VIBRATION. AT TIMES IT FEELS AS IF THE VEHICLE IS GOING TO COME TO A STOP. THIS CAN BE DANGEROUS SHOULD THE TRANSMISSION STOP WHILE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THIS PROBLEM ALSO SEEMS TO DISTRACT, OR SCARE THE DRIVER SINCE AT TIMES THE TRANSMISSION MAKES A LOUD BANG.

THE VEHICLE HAS AN ONGOING INABILITY TO START WITHOUT ANY ISSUES BEING FOUND. THE ALTERNATOR WAS REPLACED, THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED, THE RADIATOR WAS REPAIRED WITH THE THOUGHT THAT WAS AN ISSUE. THE DOORS OPEN ON THEIR OWN, NOT JUST UNLOCK BUT OPEN. THE STABILITY CONTROL IS ALWAYS GOING ON EVEN AFTER BEING REPAIRED AND REPAIRING ANY POSSIBLE CAUSES. THE INCIDENTS OCCUR IN BOTH STATIONARY AND IN MOTION THE CAUSES ARE STILL UNKNOWN.

I STARTED MY VEHICLE IN A PARKING LOT AND THE WIPERS, SEAT BELT ALARM AND LIGHTS CAME ON AND WOULD NOT TURN OFF AND THE WINDOWS WOULD NOT OPERATE. I TURNED OFF THE CAR AND STARTED IT AGAIN. I BEGAN DRIVING AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED. I PULLED OVER AND TURNED THE CAR OFF AND STARTED IT AGAIN AND THIS TIME IT STOPPED. I CONTINUED ON TO MY DESTINATION AND THEN WENT HOME. THE NEXT DAY, I WAS RUNNING AN ERRAND ON MY LUNCH BREAK AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I RETURNED TO WORK AND WHEN I LEFT FOR THE DAY, I HAD ANOTHER ERRAND TO RUN AND HALF WAY TO MY DESTINATION, IT HAPPENED AGAIN! I HAD TO DRIVE 20 MILES HOME WITH THE WIPERS AND ALARMS GOING AND THE WINDOWS DOWN BECAUSE THE POWER WAS NOT FUNCTIONING.

MY CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY HAD PERFORMED THE RECALL ON THE IGNITION SWITCH HOWEVER MY VAN STILL SHUTS DOWN WHILE DRIVING. AT FIRST IT STARTED UPON MORNING WHEN FIRST STARTING OUT THE DAY, BUT NOW IT SHUTS OFF EVEN AFTER 45 MINUTES OF DRIVING THE VEHICLE CAUSING ME TO LOOSE CONTROL OF THE STEERING AND HAVING TO BE CAUTIOUS SO THAT I WONT BE REAR ENDED OR WORSE. I HAVE TAKING IT IN TO BE DIAGNOSED BUT THE TECHNICIANS AFTER HAVING THE VAN HOOKED UP TO THEIR DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE ARE STILL UNABLE TO SEE ANYTHING WRONG. NO ERROR CODES ARE SHOWING. ALSO NOW, WHILE PARKED AND THE ENGINE OFF WITH NO KEYS... MY DOORS WILL JUST OPEN BY THEMSELVES OR AUTOMATICALLY LOCK. IT DID IT YESTERDAY MORNING HOWEVER MY CAR WAS RUNNING, THE VAN LOCKED SOUNDING MY ALARM THAT SOUNDED AS IF I HAD PRESSED THE KEY TO LOCK. I HOPE THAT SOMEONE CAN CALL OR EMAIL ME TO GIVE AN EXPLANATION WHAT COULD BE THE PROBLEM AS WELL AS HOW I CAN RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM,

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.

I WAS DRIVING WITH THE AIR CONDITIONING ON & SUDDENLY STINKY SMOKE STARTED COMING OUT OF THE VENTS. I TURNED THE AIR OFF & THEN BACK ON & IT FELT LIKE IT WAS BLOWING HEAT & THE HOLE DASH STARTED FEELING EXTREMELY HOT THEN I COULD SEE FIRE COMING UP THROUGH THE AIR VENTS. I PULLED OVER CALLED 911 BUT THEY ARRIVED TO LATE & MY VAN WAS A TOTAL LOSS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS, HEADLAMPS, AND PASSENGER DOORS ACTIVATED INDEPENDENTLY. THE CONTACT HAD TO RESTART THE VEHICLE IN ORDER FOR IT TO OPERATE NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE INTELLIGENT POWER MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000. UPDATED 08/31/17*LJ *CN

WHEN YOU SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF THE KEYS CANNOT BE REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION. WHEN THIS HAPPENS YOU HAVE TO START THE VEHICLE UP, PUT IT INTO DRIVE AND THEN PUT IT INTO PARK AGAIN AND SHUT IF OFF. SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO DO THAT A COUPLE OF TIMES TO BE ABLE TO REMOVE THE KEYS FROM THE IGNITION

CAR GETS TOTALLY POSSESSED. IT CUTS OFF IN THE OF DRIVING ONE TIME ON THE HIGHWAY. THE LIGHTS WIPERS AND HORN GOES ON BY ITSELF AND DOESNT STOP UNTIL THE BATTERY IS DISCONNECTED. I CAME OUT THE STORE AND MY WIPERS AND HORN WAS GOING OFF THE KEYS WERE IN MY HAND. WHILE PUMPING GAS THE RADIO STARTED PLAYING AND WIPERS GOING OFF. THE KEYS WERE IN MY HAND THE DOORS UNLOCK BY THEMSELVES ONE THEY OPENED. WHILE DRIVING UPHILL. THE CAR WON'T OFF WHEN THE KEY COMES OUT. IN THE PARK AND OFF POSITION SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T START AT ALL.

THE ELECTRICAL WIRES GET CAUGHT IN THE DOOR. WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND CITY STREET, MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS CAME ON, AND ALL LIGHTS ILLUMINATED ON MY DASH, AND THERE WAS NOTHING THAT I COULD DO TO STOP IT. LATER ON, I DETERMINED THAT WHEN THE WIRES TOUCHED AGAINST SOMETHING IN THE DOOR, IT WOULD CAUSE THIS REACTION.

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

CLOCKSPRING CAUSING ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTION VERY SIMILAR TO THAT IN WHICH WAS A RECALL ON THIS SAME VEHICLES JUST A FEW YEARS PRIOR. SEAT BELT LIGHT FLASHES AND DINGS EVEN WHEN SEATBELTS ARE LOCKED WHILE DRIVING. ABS LIGHTS COME ON PERIODICALLY WHILE DRIVING, VEHICLE GEAR SHIFT LOCKS WHILE VEHICLE IS IN PARK RUNNING CAUSING VEHICLE TO HAVE TO BE SHUT OFF BEFORE IT WILL RELEASE. CRUISE CONTROL MALFUNCTIONS WHILE DRIVING. DONE RESEARCH TO OTHER OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE STYLE AND OTHERS HAVE COMPLAINED OF SIMILAR FINDINGS, HOWEVER SEEMS NOONE HAS CONTACTED YOU YET. WHEN THESE PROBLEMS STARTED THEY HAVE BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE DAILY.

AIR CONDITIONER HIGH PRESSURE HOSE FAILED DUE TO MANUFACTURER ERROR ( HOSE TOO SHORT). CHRYSLER SATISFACTION BULLETIN K04 SHOULD BE APPLICABLE. PLEASE SEE ATTACHED SUPPORTING MEMO TO FCA CUSTOMER SERVICE WHO CLAIM K04 IS NOT APPLICABLE.

PASSENGER SIDE HEADLAMP FAILURE. TAKEN TO DEALER TWICE AND REPLACED BY OWNER TWICE. LAMP WORKS FOR 1-2 WEEKS REQUIRING NEW BULB INSTALLATION. REPLACED BULB 5TH TIME ON 2-18-2017 AND DOES NOT WORK ALL.

WHEN DRIVING AT 30 MPH ESP/ BAS/ABS & BRAKE LIGHTS APPEAR ON THE DASH,THEN STEERING BECAME DIFFICULT .WE ARE SO GRATEFUL IT'S NOT ON THE HIGHWAY.

I HAVE A 2008 CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY MINIVAN, I WILL BE DRIVING AND CAR WILL JUST SHUT OFF, I'VE HAD SPARK PLUGS CHANGED AND TOOK IT TO DEALER COMPLAINING ABOUT IT. THE KINDA ACTED LIKE I WAS CRAZY TIL I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND A TON OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. SOMETIMES IT WILL STALL ON ME 5 OR 6 TIMES A DAY, ITS VERY DANGEROUS POWER STEERING AND EVERYTHING ELSE JUST FAILS. I HAVE TO THROW THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND RESTART AS I AM AVOIDING CRASHING INTO ANYTHING. I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS HAPPEN IN ANY OTHER CAR AND DO NOT HAVE ANY RECOURSE TO TAKE IT TO A BUNCH OF MECHANICS AND WASTING MONEY WHEN CHRYSLER KNOWS ABOUT THIS RECURRING PROBLEM. I READ THEY ISSUED A RECALL ON 2010 T&C MINIVANS AND HAVE SPOKEN WITH QUITE A FEW PEOPLE WITH SIMILAR CARS DEALING WITH THE SAME ISSUES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ACTIVATED, THE HAZARD WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED, AND A WARNING CHIME SOUNDED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED THE SAME FAILURE APPROXIMATELY FOUR TIMES. THE CONTACT ALSO MENTION THAT THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED PER AN IGNITION SWITCH RECALL IN MAY OF 2016. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE RECALL DETAILS WERE NOT PROVIDED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

OIL CONSUMPTION BEYOND NORMAL. I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE AND FOUND A WIDE PROBLEM FOR CHRYSLER/JEEP MODEL YEARS UP THROUGH 2011 WITH THE 3.8 LITER ENGINE. THERE IS A DEFECT WITH THE VALVE GUIDES AND SEALS THAT ALLOWS OIL TO BE BURNED AT A FAR GREATER RATE THAN WHAT THE INDUSTRY STANDARD WOULD SAY IS NORMAL OIL CONSUMPTION. WITH THIS ISSUE IT USES MORE THAN A QUART PER 1,000 MILES. DEALER HAS SAID THIS IS NORMAL OIL CONSUMPTION. SINCE THE GUIDES ARE DEFECTIVE ALONG WITH THE SEALS THIS IS CAUSING DRY START EVEN WITH LOW MILES! I AM METICULOUS WITH MAINTENANCE ON MY VEHICLES, DAILY DRIVEN MOSTLY HIGHWAY MILES APPROX. 30 MILES DAILY. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STARTED IN THE MORNINGS YOU CAN HEAR THE DRY START TO THE VALVE TRAIN. IT GOES AWAY AS SOON AS THE ENGINE IS RUNNING AND OIL IS CIRCULATING. HOWEVER YOU CAN HEAR THE VALVE TRAIN IS NOISIER THAN USUAL. I HAVE BEEN SERVICING VEHICLES FOR OVER 35 YEARS NOW BOTH PROFESSIONALLY AND AS A HOBBYIST. THIS IS CLEARLY A DESIGN FLAW TO THIS PARTICULAR ENGINE. I PERSONALLY KNOW SOMEONE WHO RECENTLY HAD TO REPLACE THEIR ENTIRE ENGINE BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. EVEN THE SIMPLEST OF INTERNET SEARCHES TURNS THIS ISSUE UP. I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS ISSUE. WE WOULD LIKE THE DEALER TO ADDRESS THIS.

THERE SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THE CLOCKSPRING MECHANISM IN THE STEERING COLUMN OF THE 2008 T&C VANS. MINE WENT OUT AND WHEN THE MECHANIC TRIED TO GET ONE FROM THE LOCAL DEALER HE WAS TOLD THAT IT IS BACKORDERED ALONG WITH SEVERAL HUNDRED BACKORDERED. OBVIOUSLY THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AS IT AFFECTS MANY ITEMS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE INADVERTENTLY VEERED TO THE LEFT AND THE EPS AND ABS WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A FAULTY TIRE. THE TIRE WAS ROTATED TO THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ANOTHER INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A STEERING ANGLE MODULE AND CLOCK SPRING MALFUNCTION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 90,000.

MY VEHICLE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING MAKING IT VERY DANGEROUS. THE IGNITION SWITCH CLICKS AND THE VAN SHUTS DOWN AT THE SAME TIME CONSEQUENCE: IF THE IGNITION KEY INADVERTENTLY MOVES INTO THE OFF OR ACCESSORY POSITION, THE ENGINE WILL 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 MAY INCREASE THE RISK OF CRASH AND/OR INCREASE THE RISK OF INJURY IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. THIS IS WHAT I FOUND OUT TO BE THE ISSUE IN MOST CASES. THERE WAS A RECALL BACK ON JUNE 2014; THEY FIX THAT PROBLEM IN MY VEHICLE ON JUNE 2015; NOW IS BACK AGAIN; THEY SAY THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM, BUT IT CONTINUES RESURFACING.THIS PROBLEM HAPPENED FOUR ( 4 ) TIME IN THE MONTH OF NOVEMBER 2016 ALREADY DURING DRIVING TIME ( VEHICLE IN MOTION); ALSO SOME TIMES WON'T EVEN START RIGHT AWAY; BACK IN 2014 IT WAS CALL: RECALL CAMPAIGN ID IS: 14V373000 DATED JUNE 26, 2014. COULD BE RECALL L25 OR R03. NOT SURE WHICH ONE IS THE CORRECT, THEY HAVE TOLD ME R03. *TR

CAR ENGINE SHUTS OFF AT RANDOM TIMES WHILE DRIVING. ENGINE SHUTS OFF HOT OR COLD. THE CAR HAD AN EARLIER RECALL L25 TO REPLACE THE WIRELESS IGNITION NODE. THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. L25 DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. THIS CAN NOT WAIT MONTHS FOR PARTS. THIS MUST BE DONE ASAP. CAR WAS MOVING ON HIGHWAY AND ON CITY STREET. HAS OCCURED AT 15 MPH AND 40MPH. HAS OCCURED MANY TIMES.
