The car has cutoff a few times while driving down the road. I would have to wait a few minutes before it would start up. When you turn the steering wheel so far it makes a wining noise.

Key fob will not unlock or open doors. Has been an ongoing problem since van was purchased. We have 2 key fobs and neither works. Was in dealership multiple times under warranty but problem was never remedied.. they now want $450 to replace the key fobs that Chrysler technicians could not fix under warranty. Chrysler's key fob not working would have to be a problem covering a large number of vehicles over a multitude of years.. trying to unlock the doors in a dark parking lot and their not unlocking or opening is very a dangerous and stressful situation.

For the last several years I've been dealing with mechanics on fiquiring out why just during the summer if I drive the van much it won't start later. I'll have to wait for 15 to 45 minutes before it will start. A few times it hasn't started. I've contacted Chrysler to no avail. Its been diagnosed as a wcm problem but no one is for sure and Chrysler give the same issue of its not in a recall.

Van kept stalling while driving down the road, on the highway, and while turning, it also stalled out on me 5 times in the parking lot while picking up my sick grandson from school, took to Chrysler dealership to have it checked, needed 2 O2 sensors replaced, still kept stalling, told me it needs the PCM replaced, wrote to molar about the issue, got blown off. I am not the only person with this problem, on one website there is 49+ other people complaining about the same issue, van is still at dealership waiting for the part and cannot guarantee me that will fix the problem.

Vehicle stalls at different times and under different conditions. Dealer could not troubleshoot or repair the issue. Van will stall driving at low speed (20-30mph) and occasionally at higher speeds (40-50mph). Vehicle completely shuts off and has no power. Extremely dangerous to drive.

Random, unexpected shut down of vehicle and stall, 3 times now since purchasing a year ago.all three times from a stopped position and then acceleration - stall/shut down.had the win recall done earlier this year. Without warning, usually from a stop position and into accelerating, the vehicle will shut down. No power steering, no brakes major accident waiting to happen. My wifes vehicle transporing our children and the children she babysits. I see thousands of complaints identifying the same problem, local dealerships unable to identify and Chrysler not investigating " the "well, it could be this" scenario is costing a lot of money that I don't have for a problem that isn't getting fixed. Insurance will not cover a vehicle in the event of an accident occurs, if known to be driving a vehicle known to fail., what then" I want my wife and children safe.

This vehicle has given problems with the electrical since I got in brand new in winter 2009. When driven for more then a couple hours, all the electrical will flash off for a few seconds, to include my power steering headlights, dash lamps, etc. I had the recall done which replaced the ignition switch which supposedly was the problem. Now that this recall has been done, my key gets stuck in my ignition, the tire pressure system randomly turns off, and to top it off the electrical still flashes on and off after driving for more then an hour or two. The dealership has stated they don't know what causes this as it never happens when they test drive it. Another problem that I've had since day one, is with the transmission. When you slow down to make a turn and press the gas to speed back up with the wheel still turned the transmission will jerk into gear. This also has been looked at multiple times and the dealership did not know what was causing it.

Have had three separate incidents that lead me to believe th tipm is faulty. I've had two incidents where the vehicle engine shuts off while driving. Each time I put the trans in N, turned the ignition, and continued driving. One incident, while driving on the expressway, where the tpm system light came on, then an error message stating "check tpm system" came on, followed by the psi readings for each tire changed from 38 to -- one by one... then just as quick, everything went back to normal. Yesterday had an incident where, after driving around all day, I shut the car off then almost immediately tried to start it only to have the classic "click, click, click". after a couple attempts of turning ignition back and forth, I got a jump and then the engine started without issue. After the jump I shut the car off and it started right up.

Received the safety recall notice R03/NHTSA 14V-373 in May 2015. Called my local dealer, ladd hanford in lebanon, pa with the notice in June 2015. I have heard nothing from the dealer. I called in September 2015 and I was told it would take some time to get the parts in order to perform the recall service. It is now going on 1 year from the time that I've called. In the meantime, I have received 2 more notices from them about the recall and required service. Should it take a dealer over 1 year in order to obtain parts and perform service on a recall service bulletin?

Safety recall L25. I have contacted driver's village Chrysler dealer on 3 occasions (January 9, 23, and February 19) to inquire about replacing the win module and 2 fobiks and have been told on each occasion that the manufacturer has not sent enough replacement parts in order to fix my vehicle. The recall states to contact you if "the dealer fails to remedy this defect within a reasonable time." It has been 6 weeks and I am concerned about my family's safety.

The dealership arigo West palm beach is failing to comply with win (wireless ignition node) module recall - Chrysler Town & Country mini van. My first attempt was 18june2015. They are dismissive saying that they don't know how to get the parts despite of multiple phone calls and on site visits to the dealership. They told me to deal directly with Chrysler myself. I am second guessing Chrysler's ability to handle their own recalls and I am concerned with the safety of my children while on the road with this car. An urgent solution is needed.

When the minivan was placed in park the key fob was not able to release or turn off car because the ignition switch would not turn to the off part and car would not completely shut off. In order to preserve the battery of the minivan it was disconnected and there is a message on dash board of bad key without key even in the ignition switch.
