At random times, the ignition will shut down while driving, causing the power steering and power brakes to lose function. The only way to correct this is to shift gear into neutral and restart the engine. This has occurred while driving in town and on the highway without any warning or warning lights on the dashboard. This could result in a crash and harm to passengers due to not having control over steering and brakes while the vehicle is in motion. This problem has occurred multiple times in the past year or so. The vehicle was taken to a mechanic who ran a diagnostic, but was unable to identify the issue and it would not replicate. I researched the vehicle symptoms, and found a recall from 2015 that related to the same issues (TSB# R03, WIN Modual FOBIK replacement). All additional keys and keychain/FOB were removed from the ignition key to see if this would help. Since the issue was still happening, it was then taken to a Chrysler dealership, where again the diagnostics did not reveal the issue and they were unable to replicate the problem. Multiple attempts made to discuss this issue with Chrysler without any assistance in finding a solution thus far. This vehicle is normally driven daily as a family car and regularly transports children. This is a huge safety concern and issue that needs to be addressed and fixed, as the vehicle is unsafe to drive at this point and the potential liability is great.

For the past several years we have tried to get power to examine the conditio. To no avail. Several times a week when we are driving the car will shut off and we lose power steering, the van turns off and we have to switch it into park to continue. Some day it happens several times. It seems like it is an occurance happening in other cars. ( see NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID:-??14V373000. & 11V139000 ). I am worried bc it has almost led to several wrecks:.. it effects electrical. The ignition. Power steering and more. Also the air conditioner/ coolest has stopped working. We have to have tried multiple solutions with no avail-?? please help! And let me know if I can help With anything!

While driving the whole car stopped working, everything just died. Power steering, gas, power brakes, everything. I was able to, thankfully, get to the side of the HIGHWAY, and put the car into park. I gave the car a few minutes, then it started back up again. This is not the first time this has happened, just the first time on a highway. I've taken my van to a dealership before and they can't "reproduce" the problem so they don't fix anything. Meanwhile, my life and the life of my family are in danger because I don't know if my van is going to shut down while I'm driving. There was no warning it was going to happen, the steering just goes out and you have no power.

Going about 30 mph with NO WARNING, The traction control light came on it beeped and the car stalled the power steering died as did the brakes. I tried to stop the car and the ABS kicked in but not fully. I was able to yank the steering wheel enough to round a corner avoid another vehicle and get to a safe place to stop. I restarted the car and it was as if nothing occurred. I believe there is a serious flaw in the computer system and an upgrade is needed!!! I used and OBD II reader and there were no codes that came up. The car only has 89,000 miles on it. This is a serious safety concern. If I had stalled on a highway on a curve, with no real way to stop it or steer it in time with out serious struggle, the outcome could have endangered not only myself and those in my car but other motorists!! Looking online I-??m terrified to even drive this vehicle-?? apparently this is happening a lot with this model. (HOW!!!"?") Someone really needs to look at this problem!

Engine stops while driving. Has happened multiple times and is extremely dangerous. Have been told it is a bad TIPM which was recalled on other models, but not mine"??"

- La Vergne, TN, USA

I was driving about 30 mph when I couldn-??t accelerate or brake. The power steering also went out. I saw the traction light on. As I tried to move to the shoulder, I almost got hit. I turned the van off and then restarted it. When it started back up, no lights were on. This has done this to me every time I-??ve driven it in the past 2 weeks. It is a big safety issue. I-??m scared to drive it. I just recently had the fuel injector and spark plugs replaced. This did not fix the issue.

As I drive down the street and hit a bump or uneven surface the van shuts off and I lose all steering power and electrical power. This is very frightening because it could happen in the middle of a street or freeway going 60+ miles per hour.

- Anaheim, CA, USA

When driving, the vehicle would shut off, steering wheel became stiff and brakes would not work, as if it lost all power. There would be ABS and 'slippery' symbol on the dash board. It would happen during turning too and since the steering wheel was stiff, I was not able to turn it back straight and had to stop in the middle of the road. This vehicle stalling happened a few times and kept getting more frequent. I took it to dealer few times. They found code C121C stored in ABS module once, but could not identify the problem. I read up online that other people are having the same problem and are replacing the egr valve. I asked dealer to replace that even though they did not think that was the problem. Ever since they replace the egr valve, it has been running okay. Its surprising that Chrysler dealer did not know of this know issue. But it is definitely not safe since the vehicle stalls anytime without notice and you cannot even control the steering wheel or brakes.

Car was sitting in the garage. The dash board spontaneously caught on fire. It burnt straight through the driver side window.

While driving, my 2010 Chrysler Town and country will completely shut down. I have no brakes, no steering control and my engine completely does. It happens at times when I am coasting or driving at a slower speed. I have 2 little kids and it is terrifying when I've lost complete control of my vehicle, and I need to try and move off the road or try and restart it at an intersection with traffic all around me. There is no pattern to the shut down, it just happens sporadically. I've been reading, and it seems that there are a ton of complaints of the same thing happens to other people! please please consider this issue as a serious and dangerous defect to the vehicle.

I was driving straight on a rural, two lane road at 45mph. The road was slightly hilly and conditions were clear. The van abruptly lost power and I could not steer. I waited for it to coast to a stop, put the vehicle in park and re-started the key. The van started right up and I continued driving.

- Canal Fulton, OH, USA

I was at a red light at a city block intersection. When the light turned green, I started to accelerate, then the van immediately lost power. I was able to turn the hazard lights on. I could not steer, accelerate, brake. The van slowed to a stop and I turned the key to on (it had twisted to acc on its own.) the van started back up and I continued on my drive.

- Canal Fulton, OH, USA

I was driving straight at 40-45mph on a slightly hilly, two lane road with no curbs. The weather was clear, traffic was moderate. With no warning, all driving power went off and I couldn't steer or brake. I could still put the hazard lights on. I had to wait for the van to coast to a stop. Then I turned the key to on and the vehicle started back up. Thankfully, I didn't get hit or drive into a ditch. I had a van full of kids and was so scared.

The engine shuts down while driving on highway and making this a very dangerous situation where innocent people can be at risk of accident without warning since you don't have steering or brakes when it the engine shuts down

- Waldorf, MD, USA

The van just at its own choice cuts off, you can be going 5 mph or 70mph. There is no warning, then you lose steering and braking with the engine off. After you get it stopped it starts right back up but you don't know for how long before it does it again. There is a recall on the igniti0N box but not for my VIN number, Chrysler needs to expand the years on that recall before someone gets hurt badly or killed...

- Lancaster, SC, USA

Power steering intermittent failure when backing out of parking spaces and for the first 100 feet of driving. Loud whining sound on acceleration.

- Greenwood, IN, USA

The car starts to power down and makes the power steering stop working. The traction control symbol shows up after it starts to power down. It has happened three times in the past two weeks about 2-3 minutes from home while the car is in motion. One of the times was while I was turning left with oncoming cars. The car has to be restarted. This is very dangerous and should be a recall as so many others have experienced the same thing.

- Goshen, IN, USA

On Wednesday 2/19/20, the engine shut off suddenly while driving. The steering and brakes were operating without power assist and the car was difficult to stop. This happened at slow speed while turning into a parking lot so the car was able to be stopped. The car was put into park and restarted. It operated fine immediately after the incident.
