I wrote before about the electrical issue. My husband jumped started my car On 8/28/24. I drove down to my church for a Women's Bible Study. I was there for 2 1/2 hours. When I went to leave my car would not start. I called my son. He jump started my car for me. As I was about to leave after a few minutes my car quit running. As the car was running every electrical component on the dash was going haywire, the heater fan was going full blast, but the windows would not go up. That was irritating as it started to rain. Had to cover the windows. Left the car in parking lot. Next day after church my husband tried to start the car. The car turned over and the battery light was on. Brande new battery was put in that week, As the following we thought that might have been the problem. He jumped started the car same thing as before. We had to have the car flat bedded to the mechanic. The mechanic tested the new alternator that was just put in and said it was bad. Replaced the alternator and car ran. He wanted to see what would happen so he kept car over night. Next morning car would not start. All fuses have been checked, fuse box has been checked. Nobody can seem to figure out what is going on with this vehicle. I have spent over $2000. an to no avail. I am ready to junk this thing. Mu dad said their was a Caravan for sale I just read they have electrical issues also no way.

During random times; starting cold, starting warm, coming to a stop, accelarating, on city surface streets or on the freeway, after long drives or just going down the street; the minivan would stall and not restart. Fortunately able to coast to side of road on occassion. Non start condition would last between 15 minutes to days. This last event occured while turning in a busy intersection. Blocked cars and buses in all four directions on a Friday afternoon rush hour, putting ourselves and others at serious risk. There were no warning lights or anything other than a brief shudder before stalling. Roadside service called 911 first to get us out of the way. Towed to local mechanic who duplicated event and found that two separate recalls for faulty fuel pump relay was issued for other models but not our minivan. This family vehicle is now a liability if the fuel pump relay replacement is not made available to us.

The fuel pump is sporadically not getting power. This has left me stranded multiple times. I-??m worried that this could happen while driving on the interstate and causing an accident.

- Bloomington, IL, USA

Driving 70mph on the interstate when the engine just shuts down ( sudden engine failure ) it is only by the grace of God that it didn't result in a pile-up and injury/loss of life. One of the most fearful experiences that I have ever had happened to me. This is the 2nd instance of sudden engine failure in the past month. On each occasion, I have had the vehicle towed and the mechanics are unable to find the root cause of the problem. I now fear injury/loss of life to myself and or others. I tried calling Chrysler to no avail and i have sent a certified letter to the Chrysler CEO, hristine Feuell with no response so far. The contact stated that they paid to have their vehicle looked at by the dealer. There were unsuccessful in duplicating the issue or finding the cause or a cure. The contact was told to trade in the vehicle. The contact stated after 10 breakdowns and 7 vehicle tows this week someone finally figured out the problem being a DEFECTIVE TIPM module.

"P0740" OBD2 code, causing vehicle to Fail state Safety Inspection. issue is due to a defect within the transmission, very common with the 2011 Chrysler Town & Country. "Dealer Only Repair", very costly. Serious Safety Issue. Vehicle cannot be diagnosed by most Certified Mechanics. this faulty reading could mask very serious issues with the Transmission. This issue needs to be expedited to review ASAP. Thank You.

2011 Chrysler town and country, starts then shuts off after two seconds. Check engine light came on last night. Remote start disabled. Vehicle will not start via push button, must use key fob in place of pushbutton. Again remote start will not work. Vehicle starts and shuts off right away. From research done, cause being TIPM OR FUEL RELAY.

There is a problem with the engine oil cooler leaking oil on the engine creating a smell of oil burning which is not good to breathe, plus the danger of the engine catching on fire. I am filing this report on 11/28/2021. I replaced this part the first time in July of 2021 and it is once again leaking in November 2021 already. Prior to replacing it the first time, I did some research on the internet only to find that this is common problem with this oil cooler used in Chrysler Engines. (3.6 L) I would think that Chrysler is a ware of this problem. I don't have the first part that failed, but the replacement is leaking also. I have not had this inspected, but as I have already mentioned, there a lot of complaints on the internet of people having this problem. The part Chrysler is using has a plastic base, and the plastic is apparently breaking down. There is an aftermarket replacement available and they describe the problem with the one that Chrysler uses and what they did to correct it. The replaced plastic part with metal.

TIPM is defective causing the car hard starting and stall.The fuel pump relay stays on draining the new battery. The car starts then shuts down after 2 seconds. The sliding doors open and close, horn stops, car alarm stops intermittently. I had to temporarily bypass the fuel pump relay.The cost of the TIPM replacement is $1500

I don't know much about vehicles. So when I get the obd scanned to make sure things are good to sell my van and it throws back many error codes, I was surprised. I thought the vibration/shaking was minor or just because I only had 4 out 6 engine mounts replaced. I was told the tipm was bad, the transmission, the tire pressure sensors don't work. The eco drive doesn't work. I was told that there was a problem with mine that was recalled but only on half of the vehicles and my vin wasn't one of them recalled even though it's the same problem. I was told the main fuse panel under the hood needs replaced. From what I was told, all the needed repairs will cost about as much as I paid for the vehicle itself. There have been lights on the dash since a few days after I bought it but the obd didn't want to put out any reading. I named her Christine because she seems to have a mind of her own. The rpm's go sky high whenever they feel like it so I often have to pull over, turn it off and wait about 5 minutes. I didn't know where to turn to get help with this before it nickel and dimes me into the even more poor house.

Car stalls and shuts off, car cranks but will not start this has happened numerous times in the past 24 hours, while driving it will unexpected shut off, this is a problem related to the tipm which has been recalled in other 2011 model vehicles such as the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge durango. I have read forums where other 2011 Town and countrys also had this same issue.

- Somerset, KY, USA

This must be a recall concern. Chrysler really needs to step up and take care of this tipm issue. The most common problem was a defective tipm that prevented the engine from starting. This van fails while the car was being driven. Today 1-4-21, the van is again at the dealership for repairs for the same issue again and again I can't believe it. The Town & Country would be running smoothly one day and fail to start the next day. Why recall concerning them was never issued"??"

- Davie, FL, USA

Wife was driving. Then engine went to full throttle, would not slow down. She rode the brakes all the way home, switched from neutral to drive, van would jump into gear when she would shift back to drive, felt like brakes were not working well enough (probably glazed). Almost wrecked, could hardly stop. Very dangerous situation.

Noticed oil dripping on the floor of the garage..unable to locate source at home. To maint shop found oil filter housing ( actually part of oil/coolant heat exchanger) seals leaking on top of the engine block below the intake assembly. Impossible to see visually. Chrysler sb 09-008-15 dated 8-7-2015 deals with this issue. Big problem is that as stated, takes almost a quart of oil to sit on top of the engine for it to start to leak visually....serious fire hazard, , especially in hot weather. ( am in mn) this should be a recall issue, , as continued leakage is a fire hazard that can go unnoticed until failure of the engine or worse. Part number 68105583aa
