The vechile stalls while driving down the road regardless of whether highway/city street driving, when attempting to restart it sometimes it starts right back up and other times it doesn't..when it does this jumping the vehicle does nothing. I have seen lots of people on the Chrysler Town and country site below with the exact same problem: Https://www.cargurus.com/cars/discussion-T27257_ds554284 sometimes when attempting to restart it there will be a click click sound when its not starting...

This van has been nothing but a failure since I bought it. I have kept up the oil changes and maintenance as needed. The paint is coming of off the grill and the paint on the rest of the van is not holding up. I have replaced: Timing belt 3 times power steering pump once the thermostat twice the relay switch three times and it still does not work the relay on the motor once the air conditioning is failing in the front the rear door lock on the passenger side doesn't work my transmission is going out very soon I am a single parent in a large metroplex. I need my car to get to work. I cannot afford to buy another car now.

This is a recall for cars made prior to September, 1996. We receivedour car on 9/1/96, so it would seem that our car qualifies. Since the car now is exhibiting the signs shown in the recall notice (#665), it makes sense that our car also has this defect. The manufacturer says that this is not the case. No safety defec tmentioned in summary.

1. automatic transmission failed at 62,038 miles, not under warranty. This seems to be an ongoing problem with Chrysler for which they have not assumed any financial responsibility. 2. wipers come on inexplicably. Per "lemon aid" web page, this problem is reported to be widespread with Chrysler vans. 3. power door lock on right rear passenger door locks and will not open automatically, either via driver control or remotely.
