Chrysler has issued a recall for many of there 2009-2011 Town and country's. because of the wireless node being bad which make the key flop around in the ignition. However there is another side to that same ignition it can also lock in the on position causing you not to be able to shut the car off or remove the key from the ignition it will also cause the key end to break off in the ignition I have read many blogs were this is happening to thousands of people and now it has just happened to me. I feel this is a major safety issue because your not able to deenergize the power in the car. I have and so have thousand of other people have called Chrysler to have this problem resolved and get some help with the outrageous cost incurred to repair a major known issue that Chrysler knows about. Unfortunately we have all been told well its not our problem by Chrysler. This is a major problem because it renders the car totally useless undrivable if the key breaks in the ignition.

Several times while in normal driving conditions, the engine simply shut off. No power steering, no power brakes. Luckily there was no traffic behind us.

problem #61

Jul 312014

Town & Country 6-cyl

  • 37,000 miles
The engine just shuts off without warning. Sometimes it will restart immediately, sometimes it just cranks for a min, then kicks over and runs rough eventually smoothing out. We have noticed the key is rotating out of the on position, sometimes fully into acc, sometimes just a little out of on. 2 dealers have looked at it, but the computer doesn't log any codes and they cant replicate the issue, so the mechanics can't fix anything. This falls inline with the L25 recall issues. This van was built 2 weeks after the L25 recall stops. I have found the parts online for under $20 but cannot replace them as the computer needs programmed. This vehicle is dangerous to us and everyone else on the road around us as we have no power steering or power brakes.

This incident has happened several times. Car stalls while driving at any speed. It will then restart immediately. This is a dangerous situation and almost caused a couple of wrecks. Chrysler says there are no recalls on this vehicle and hard to diagnose. Yet on other 2010S 4.0 vehicles there are recalls for the exact same problem.

Town & Country 6-cyl

  • 74,000 miles
Vehicle ignition turns off while slowing down (I.e. 15-30 mph). Power steering and power brakes become inoperable almost causing multiple rear end collisions. Car must come to a stop - be put in park - and restarted. This has happened 9 times in the last two months - twice in the last two days. Chrysler dealer could not find any issues and did routine transmission and fuel injection maintenance just over a week ago. Problem has only gotten worse.
