Oil filter housing is leaking oil beneath the intake manifold (engine valley). This oil pools into this area and may hold a quart of oil. Vehicles fires are possible due to oil leakage from the filter housing and pooling in this area. First noticed oil leaks on the driveway. The oil appeared to be coming from the engine valley and leaking onto the transmission area and then the driveway. Dealer stated the oil filter housing leaking is a common problem with the 2014 Town and country/Caravan. The oil filter housing developed a crack and oil now leaks onto the engine valley.

On two separate occasions our van lost power while we were driving. The fist incident happened while going 25-30 mph on a city road. We lost all power, had no power steering and just had to hit the brakes, put the car in park and restart it and continue driving. The second time happened while making a right hand turn onto a busy highway. After making the turn the van lost power and again we had to put it into park, restart it and accelerate as traffic was coming quickly behind us. We are incredibly thankful that our family, our children were in the car both times, was not in an accident caused by our van losing power.

Driving the van down a street and most of the electrical systems failed. Wipers went to full speed, every check light came on. No steering, radio died, brakes did work because they are not electrical. Shut it down and restarted. Took it to falls motor city who did not find any faults. Said they never heard of such a thing. Basic conclusion I was nuts. Took the car back...then it happened again total of 4 times in 3 months

Engine stalls randomly, while in motion, highway, city, country. Vehicle just stops running making it difficult to control steering, stopping. Nearly caused an accident several times, due to the vehicle behind nearly crashing into ours, and the vehicle must be pulled off the road while abruptly decelerating which is dangerous when you must cross several lanes of traffic, as the vehicle cannot be restarted while moving. Vehicle has 56K miles. This problem has been happening for several months. Vehicle must be put into park to restart requiring the vehicle to be pulled off the roadway. The vehicle often does not restart immediately. After taking it to the dealer, they duplicated and verified the stalling issue and suggested to replace the win module, which we agreed to have them do, because we believe it is a extremely important safety concern. Price $700. It looks like there was an earlier recall for the exact same problem on the 2008 to 2010 model. We feel this is a major safety issue. Many times we have children in the car. These incidents cause all passengers to be distressed. Problems started in Dec 2016 and was infrequent at first but became very frequent in February and March. Checked by a local shop in February. They suggested taking it to the dealer.

Engine shuts off while driving. Feb-8, 2017 was fourth time this occurred in last 4 months. Has happened while stopped at a light, turning left into an intersection, and driving 35mph straight on a city street. Weather has been both warm and cold, van has been well warmed up or recently-started; there doesn't seem to be a noticeable pattern. The behavior is similar to what it would be if the key fob was turned from on to acc -- e.g. the radio is still playing but the engine shuts off. All power to brakes and steering is lost; I don't know if the airbags are still functioning at this point. In all four cases, the car was easily re-started by first turning the key fob to off, then started again. This is obviously a major safety issue as it can occur seemingly at any time, without notice.

While driving on the hwy suddenly I felt the steering very hard and I am losing speed. I pulled to the side of the hwy which was very hard, hard to stop (no brakes). I asked my mechanic and he told me to put in park or neutral and start the car, after it happened 2 more time, so two weeks after the last one I took it to the dealer but he could not replicate the problem. No repairs made and I am very scared to drive.

When driving the van stalls, losing control and wheel locking up. I have to put the van in park to restart. This has been happening since Nov 2015. The current mileage is 29,000 miles. The van has been taken to the dealership for diagnosis and repair twice. The first trip resulted in no codes since they had been overwritten and the problem hadn't occurred in a reasonable time. The dealer placed a device in the car to take a snapshot when it happens. It happened and the codes P0016. The dealer replaced cam phasers-bank 1 (rear head). Then the car was ready for pickup and my wife didn't even make it out of the parking lot before stalling again. According to the repair statement dated on Jan 18,2016, nothing else had been accomplished. The dealer had been working with star technician support center to resolve this issue. My wife then stalled again this morning on Jan 26, 2016. This matter is very serious and should be handled before a life is lost driving. According to other complaints, there are 7 around the same mileage of the same make and model year of this van.

I was driving through a water puddle on a two lane city street when the backwash of water from a truck in front entered my engine through the air intake ducting and caused the engine to lock up (hydrolocked) disabling my car and leaving it inoperable. This immobile situation exposed my wife and I to a possible collision as cars passed us. I had to have the vehicle towed from the site. Later evaluation by a local manufacturer's dealer revealed that the engine would not turn over and needed replaced with an estimate to repair of $9,280. I believe this incident was caused by a faulty design where the engine air intake duct opening is too close to ground level. The consumers comprehensive insurance coverage covered the damaged and advised the dealer, to locate a used engine. After the engine was installed, the vehicle would not start. It was determined the starter also had water damaged and required replacement. Updated 11/17/15.
