The engine has randomly shut-down while in-operation. Electrical components black-out for a moment without significant event, then powers back on. Concerns for safety while operating the vehicle and its ability to be controlled while in-motion.

Tipm fuel pump relay caused motor stall in front of kindergarden. Luckily at very low speed and my wife was able to stop. The fuel pump relay as part of the tipm is causing starting problems and completely drained battery (fuel pump sometimes does not turn off at nights) as well.

There was a recall on the rear quarter vent window switch. This caused an electrical fire inside my van causing all of the windows and electric doors to cease opening, literally trapping my then 3 year old twins inside the van on 11/30/16. Supposedly fixed only to have it happen again 8/31/17. The second issue involves a recall on the powertrain control module when the van was brand new. It had to have reprogramming of software because of poor shift quality. This was done on 1/1/12. The last almost 2 years of my life have revolved around this issue. My van frequently thinks it's stuck in reverse when it is actually in park so it won't start. This can go on for days. It was brought to the dealership on 10/18/16, 11/3/16, 11/30/16, and again on 8/31/17 all for this exact reason. I have numerous time stamped pictures from the 9 month gap that I stopped bringing it in to show it was still doing it. I didn't bring it in, however because the issue was never resolved because no code came up. This time Chrysler has came up with 8 things that it is but they are waiting on the back ordered powertrain module to complete the last of the 8 items. In the meantime they are making me pay over $1000 out of pocket for a rental I can't afford. The first time the electrical fire happened I was driving on the express way in an ice storm with my children and dog where there were no exits. The second time it happened, I was driving with the girl I babysit on a 50mph road. When the car thinls it's in reverse, it sometimes happens when I am in the pickup line at school causing other parents tp get angry when I am blocking everyone. Sometimes I go to start my car and it's fine, other days or minutes it thinks it's in reverse. It has been the bain of my existence. No inspection, ro with complaint of "vehicle filled with smoke": 1/11/2016, P25 open at the time of the event updated 7/23/18

Driver side rear vent window switch and the wire harness connection it plugs into melted while driving. While driving smoke started coming out of the driver side door panel. I pulled over shut the vehicle off and quickly took my three children out of my van, luckily no fire started and no one hurt. After investigating the issue, my husband pulled the window vent switch out to find it completly melted along with the connector it plugs into. Now knowing it is a recall I have not received a recall notice and would like to get it repaired.

My Town and country shut off while driving 60 mph on a busy highway with my children in the car. All of a sudden the engine turned off, the power steering and brakes were disabled. My husband had to haphazardly Pilot the vehicle to the side of the road. We had it towed to the dealership and they stated that it was a dead battery. I insisted that a dead battery does not cause a vehicle to shut off mid drive. The dealership rechecked it and replaced the battery. I got it home and as I pulled in the driveway the same thing happened. The car just shut off. This is a serious safety issue that Chrysler should be addressing. I believe that a faulty tipm is the reason why this is happening.

Two separate issues about six weeks apart. First issue: Lifters started to break down, causing a tapping sound when running. While driving, on three occasions the temperature gauge rose to about the 3/4 mark (where it normally sat just below half) and the performance of the car became sluggish. Metal shaving damaged both camshafts, covered by extended warranty, but cost about $1500 to repair. Took in for repair July 1, 2017, required a full week to repair. Second issue: The totally integrated power module (tipm) failed, symptom was engine turning over but not starting until tried several times (push button start). Happened a few times in isolation, took it in after happening twice in a day (and the third time in a week). Tipm was not covered by extended warranty. Took in August 16, 2017, was going to require about 3 days to repair at a cost of $1200. We have video showing this behavior.

Total integrated power module fuel pump relay failed causing the fuel pump to run after the vehicle had been turned off.

- Orange, TX, USA

The side warning system (in mirrors) stopped working at about 41000 miles. This has many complaints and is common at that mileage range. They charge about 1500 - 2000 for each side to fix this. At 3 to 4 thousand dollars I no longer have this safety system on my van - I can not afford to fix it.

While driving the vehicle, the car power turns off when hitting bumps in the road. This occurred over a dozen times on a trip from Chicago to Florida. This occurred on the highway but not limited to city driving once arriving in Florida and driving on city streets. Additionally, there are times when the vehicle takes multiple times to try and start. This occurred even after reading other Chrysler vehicles have the same problems and Chrysler recommends taking the key fob off of the key chain and using alone

Took car back to dealer and was told the tipm was malfunctioning and wasn't covered under warranty. Car is hard to start and sometimes shuts off while driving.

- Blairsville, PA, USA

The tipm was replaced by the dealer after the engine stalled (while stationary) and/or would not shut off. Other electrical problems occurred when both sliding side doors would not open or close for a week and then they would work perfectly, then not work.
