Van dies while driving. Speed does not matter. 5mph or 65mph. Dies without warning-no power steering, hard to brake, no turn signals to let other drivers know etc. Once I get pulled over and put into park it will start up fine like nothing has happened. The dealership cannot find anything wrong with it. Other reputable mechanics find nothing on van's computer.. no error codes. Nothing detectable. This has been going on for two years at random. It's terrifying and will unfortunately probably be fatal someday.

At about 100K miles, the van began to make a ticking sound. It wasn't until I passed 150K I had an issue with a misfire on cylinder 2... turns out, they had an issue with the pentstar

While driving my Town & Country on both city streets and highway the engine randomly shuts off to include all instrument panel lights on the dash. After coming to a complete stop I simply turn the key to try to re-start and it does. This has happened several times in the last month. I finally took it to the dealer and they could not determine the cause. They did some software updates and sent me on my way. The very next day it happened again. The dealer said that if it happened again that they would need to replace the catalytic converter. Catalytic converter? seriously doubt this is what is causing the vehicle to completely shut off. This is very dangerous and can be deadly.

So me and my family we're heading to a birthday party on U.S. highway 64 going to huntsville Alabama and we was about ten minutes out from our city in winchester Tennessee and all of the sudden the van turns its self off at approximately at 50 miles an hour and lost all power to vehicle and power steering was out then there was a simi truck behind us and I guess he thought we was slowing down on purpose and blowed his horn and passed by.we managed to get the van to the shoulder in the grass and called a tow truck. The tow truck driver tryed to boost the van up and it started then died again so we had to have it towed in. We called Chrysler and they didn't help at all but to tell us to take it to the dealership which they was closed so I fixed it my self and all it was is a bad alternator.there should be some kind of warning when this stuff is going to happen because it was a scary situation at a high speed with your family with you.

Vehicle has a rough idle at complete stops in the city and also while driving at slow speeds. Engine produced a misfire at #6 cylinder. Problem continued after repair. All spark plugs replaced to no effect. Engine produced a #2 cylinder misfire. Code cleared itself. Engine still idles poorly/rough at stops. I believe the problem to has been determined to be the left cylinder head.

Check engine light on and runs very rough at idle at all times whether engine is cool and/or warmed up. When hooked up to a code scanner it reads a permanent code "misfire in cylinder 3, so I had all six spark plugs replaced as well as the ignition coils. After the new parts were installed the vehicle still runs rough and check engine light still on even if it is cleared due to the same permanent code "misfire in cylinder 3". after research there are "cylinder misfire" recalls for Chrysler Town and country vans " due to excessive cylinder wear" on the same make and model year vehicle I have. I have entered my vehicles VIN on this site and it does not come up as my vehicle having this recall. I have done even more research and my Town and country has the same engine issue as individuals with the misfire recall. I am hoping something can be done

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.

My Town & Country shuts down while I am driving. There is no pattern to when it shuts down. I may drive 20 miles with no problem and other times it will shut down 1 or 2 times within that distance. Had it to the Chrysler certified dealer for repairs and $1400 later the problem was still there.. this problem is been going on for couple months and no one has been able to resolve the issue. Not even the Chrysler. I am scared to drive the car and had a car accident.

My car has shut off 4 times while driving in 4 separate dates randomly. I have taken it to the dealership 3 times. The times the car has shut off has been while driving at speeds about 20km per hour. Luckily there was no traffic during these 4 events. The first two times the dealership did not know what it was so they sent us home. The 3rd time we went they replaced the crankshaft sensors but as we have been driving it seems like the problem may come back again. Time will tell if it got fixed or not. Hopefully we are not involved in a traffic accident by then because of this issue. This issue began in January of this 2017.
