Every trouble light on the instrument panel came on. There is no power to the interior of the vehicle. It's possible the engine could shut off while driving the van. The problem started on 10/6/2018. The vehicle was towed to the dealer. The dealer could not resolve the problem and had a 3rd party replace the fuse box. This did not resolve the issue. The battery was then replaced. This did not resolve the issue. All trouble lights on the instrument cluster are illuminated (Inc - charging system, oil pressure, anti-lock brakes, air bag, electronic throttle control, tire pressure, engine temperature, seat belt, brake, engine malfunction indicator, electronic stability control, vehicle security, low fuel). The lights were going on intermittently, but are now on constantly. I cannot drive the van due to the fact that it just might shut off while driving on the highway or thruway. The vehicle is now parked. And I need a vehicle to drive!!

Driving at 30 mph or slower, the engine shuts off and the computer resets it'self. The gas mileage goes from 21 to 22 mpg back to factory 18 mpg and you have no power steering and no power brakes. It could cause me to wreck for the last time I was in down town lisbon, Ohio making a left turn when it just shut off and lost power. You put it in neutral and it will start right up but it's hard to do while turning and no power steering or brakes.

Vehicle caught fire in the rear along the second row of seating by the usb outlets/power inverter. The vehicle started smoking and then sparks flew out of the outlets. There were no cords plugged in and the seats were folded down. After turning the vehicle off, it then caught fire. The vehicle was running and the smoking occurred at a stop light. After the light changed from red to green, I parked the vehicle away from traffic and turned off the engine once sparks emitted from the outlet.

The van stalls a little bit I went and had a diagnostic done on it and the catalytic converter keeps clogging up causing the van to slow up or to switch gears. Also the doors don't close all the way the sliding doors do not close all the way you have to open and close them sometimes it will say that their clothes and then they come open. Also the ac system does not work in the back of the car the door from the ac that goes to the back of the van closes and will not open to it gets extremely hot in the car even though the ac is on full blast. Also the dvd system my van is 2 years old the dvd player went out and the company would not fix the dvd player I had to spend over $1,000 just to get a new replacement for the dvd player. Also the wipers will fog up the windows causing a hazardous where you cannot see and the wiper cord for the rain-X comes undone.

Side monitor sensors fail after less than 30K miles. System beeps every 5 seconds and speedometer flashes warning to get the system serviced. It will not stop beeping. The monitors rot out because they are not sealed properly. This should definitely be a recall. It's a $2,100 dealer fix. Chrysler does not admit it's a defect yet there are complaints of failure all over the web.

Stalls without warning under all conditions. Engine and all electrical components (engine, lights, power brakes, power steering, interior lights, dashboard lights). This used to happen once and a while. Now it happens more than once a day. This is a major safety problem. Last time the car was at the Chrysler dealership they were unable to diagnose the problem. Do not buy a Chrysler minivan until this is addressed, they take responsibility for this daner, and there is a recall. Car has less than 40K miles. Most recently happened when travelling at about 20mph, while pulling out of a parking lot and into traffic on a busy road, temperature outside is 40F. City street. Car was already warm (had been driven about 10-miles prior to this happening. I'm only allowed to check three items for part of the car affected, but other systems were also effected including lighting, peed control, wipers, power seats, steering, elec stability control, air bags, tire pressure sensors, and other electrical systems.

While traveling daily to work on many occasions, my lights in the dash, my radio and all power up front would go off while driving and just recently while parked.I did not think too much of it so I had replaced the battery and the electronic to the front would continue to fail I was unable to correlate rather anything else could have caused it. My automatic doors would not open although the switch was on and nothing was blocking it. Also my tire pressure indicator light was not going off even after having to replace the tires.

Vehicle dashboard displayed service blind spot detector while driving on the highway at 55 mph. After a few more miles, lost power to the entire display and interior lights. The speedometer, fuel gauge, temp gauges flat lined. A few seconds later the display came back on with all the fault lights on: Engine light, tire pressure, brake light, etc. Service center detailed the problem was a corroded blind spot sensor that caused a bus failure and shorted out the electrical system. After doing several searches online this is a known issue with the blind spot detectors becoming corroded and needing to be replaced. This is potentially hazardous to lose power while travelling at highway speeds. Video from youtube of repair and part corrosion: Https://www.youtube.com/watch?V=bz4aazc5fsw
