Wiring running at both back doors get caught up in door track and break. This causes windows and doors electrical systems to malfunction. Speedometer is not working along with mileage. This kills battery requiring you to jump vehicle often. This has occurred in the past year, losing different things as time goes by.

The ABS control module is defective and the anti-lock system is not operating correctly. I have had to replace brake pads 3 times in the last two years. I took my van in for brake repair and the service tech (who had worked for Chrysler previously) detected the issue and found the recall affecting the vehicle (NHTSA campaign # 09V351000). Fca has a technical service bulletin out on this issue and this is a recall out for this problem, affecting my make & model year but my VIN number does not apply to the recall. How can this be?

My driver's side low beam led light will come on when the car is cranked but begins to flicker and will cut completely off within 5 minutes of cranking the van. It will sometimes come back on and go off again. Replacing the bulb is not correcting the problem.

My van is not starting right away as it usually does. Had I been on the road would have caused a accident. The throttle light is on at the start, first it was the oil light. Had some mechanics say fuel pump but then read it is a fuse issue with the throttle

When driving in a parking lot of a grocery store, my van's cluster board started going haywire, illuminating all warning lights, turning wiper blades on without them being on, opening windows. Turned van off and waited a few minutes and everything was back to normal. Next day it did it again when driving down the road at 55 mph. Took it to the mechanic and it did it for him. He believes it has to do with the wiring in sliding door, which does have a recall but not for my particular van. If my 2008 Town and country could also catch fire at the wiring harness, it needs to be included in the recall. Either way, it is extremely unsafe to be driving at 55 mph and have everything start to go haywire in your car. I'm afraid to drive it. This problem absolutely needs to be looked into and at the least, give the consumers a reason for it and a repair solution that doesn't cost them thousands of dollars to try and troubleshoot.

- Charleroi, PA, USA
The vehicle was running in the highway. Check engine light goes on an the all panel lights began to flash make like a whisle noise and shut off. After a while it starts again but in about 2,000 meters do the same four times. We need to call a truck crane.

While driving on the road the motor dies as if I turned it off, so of course it's difficult to steer. I managed to get off to the side of the road. I decided to put it in neutral and try to start it. It started and off I went. Several days later the same thing happened so as I was coasting along, I just put it in neutral and was able to continue on. This has happened periodically over the past few years. Also, awhile ago, I pulled into my parking place at work and just as I was getting ready to turn the ignition off, everything went wild, horn honking, alarm going off, both front and back windshield wipers going full bore with the washer fluid spraying out! this continued for several minutes even though the key was out of the ignition! it finally stopped, all the washer fluid ran out! this has happened periodically over the past couple years. It happened a few months ago and wouldn't stop until we unhooked the battery. I'm told it is a faulty power module! that's crazy, never in my life has anything like this hypo me with a vehicle! I think Chrysler should stand behind this faulty part. It could have caused me to have an accident but luckily has not! can't really afford a new part or vehicle!

The rear liftgate cannot be opened manually when there is a fault from loss of signal. This should never ever happen as all liftgate should be able to be operated and opened manually. This was a terrible design by the engineers.

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 traveling at speeds less than 40 mph, and typically within 5 minutes of starting, the vehicle will shut down all power (engine, electrical, and brakes) while driving, making it very hard to stop the vehicle, and very dangerous. I have taken it to the dealer and they stated it was overheating and result of the coolant system leaking, which we had them fix, and problem continues to occur. There was no way it was overheating that quickly after starting. Dealer has refused to look at other postings online that suggest this is a prevalent problem, and unrelated to the coolant system.
