I am filing a complaint because my airbag light is on and the dealership does not seem to think they should fix it.my van only has about 54,000 miles on it and this is a safety issue that they should be responsible for.in earlier models of this vehicle there has been a recall on the part that controls the air bags as well as the cruise control, horn and other steering wheel components.they have obviously not fixed the problem correctly.the manufacturer should recall the part again and fix all vehicles that are having this problem.the fact that they will not take respnsibility to fix this part that may save someones life is irresponsible and unethical.

While driving back from work my vehicle turned off completely. It was rolling and i was unable to brake or turn the steering wheel. There was no power steering, no brakes, all the controls and lights were off. I was in the middle of the busy 4 lane street. I put my hazard lights on and moved over to the outside lane and ultimately was able to turn into the parking lot. I sat there for a while stunned by what happened. After a few minutes i tried to start the van. It did start and i was able to continue on my way home. Exactly the same situation occurred today, july 14, 2014. We also have been having issues with starting the van. After turning the key the van starts up and a few seconds later goes dead.

While in motion, the electrical system and engine will suddenly turn off, which will then depower various key safety systems including but not limited to air bags, power steering, and power braking. Loss of functionality of these systems increase the risk of crash and/or increase the risk of injury in the event of a crash.this happens with no warning while driving at highway speed on the highway.this has happened multiple times.i have no choice but to drive it this way.

I was involved in a low speed frontal crash on an interstate highway. I was belted in and didn't even touch the airbag, but the airbag shot flames out of the right side hole burning my arm like a blowtorch. I have photos of the injury and it's healing stage. I was advised to go to the hospital for stitches as it split my arm open wide, but i'd been there 5 times in the last 8 months and just dressed it myself. The airbag is supposed to help prevent injury and it was the only thing that caused an injury!

Approximately six months ago i received a safety recall notice from chrysler, l25/nhtsa 14v-373, advising that my car could unexpectedly switch from "run" to "accessory", causing the motor to shut off. This would result in loss of power steering, power brakes and the inactivation of the passive restraint systems including the airbags. The letter said the part to fix this potentially fatal problem was not available and i would be notified by mail when it was. Six months later and still no fix. Chrysler continues to introduce new cars, but just doesn't have the ability to fix my defective car. A call to the chrysler group recall assistance center gets only a recording, reciting almost verbatim, the recall letter. Is my, or my wife's death or serious injury going to be the result of this totally unacceptable delay in correcting a know serious problem? it's a thought that is in my mind each time we start our van. Can we get some help before anything actually happen?updated 03/04/15.

There was a recall on the fobik back on june 16, 2011.the part is still unavailable.i feel this can be quite dangerous and i'm not confident that the part is even being manufactured. My vehicle has already shut off once due to this recall.
I received a recall notice from chrysler last fall.the nhtsa website dated the recall 6/16/11 and then it was expanded 6/26/14 to include my vehicle with letters being sent to owners 9/11/14.as of today, the problem has not been fixed by chrysler.i have called them twice and been on hold for over 30 minutes each time and not spoken to anyone!chrysler has definitely failed to remedy this in a reasonable amount of time.i had an incident yesterday in which my fobik moved to the accessory mode and the engine shut off while i was traveling 67 mph and in moderate traffic.this was very dangerous and gave me quite a scare.i am grateful my three children were not with me. I have followed chrysler's precautions to ensure my safety, but the incident happened anyway.chrysler needs to get the defect fixed immediately and in the future maintain better contact with vehicle owners about the status of recalls.

I have a 2008 chrysler town & country minivan that is in mint condition. I brought my van to a dealership for a repair. There was also a recall for the driver side airbag. The issue is 14 people have been injured by the plastic emblem that has become loose and can become a projectile in the event of airbag deployment. The tech said the recall has them remove the emblem on the steering wheel and they don't replace it with anything. Most people decline it because they don't like the way it looks. I told him i did not want this recall performed on my car until chrysler has a better fix. Unfortunately, the tech forgot to take the work order for the recall off in the computer and they removed the emblem anyway. Also scratched the leather on the steering wheel when they were prying the emblem off. You can imagine my horror when i picked my car up and found that a decorative trim piece was ripped off. No replacement of any kind, just an open gape with holes where the emblem used to be on the steering wheel. Very noticeable!! this is unacceptable and i want to put it out there that chrysler lied in their press release on july 14, 2020. This is what they said...chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will replace the driver's air bag cover with a redesigned cover, free of charge.. At this time there is no fix! there is no redesigned cover!don"t have a recall if you don't have a fix for damage to your customers car! called chrysler and they still have no fix for this. What! way to stick it to your customers! they don't have any more lawsuits but leave the car owner with damage to their car. What if i wanted to sell my car? this devalues it! thanks chrysler!!i want to know if the ceo, mr. Manley, of chrysler would appreciate me going in his car and removing a decorative piece of trim or emblem with no regard for how it makes the car look?you know it would not be ok!

My town and country passenger restraint system light came on. Took it to the dealer and they said it is not a safety concern, i think it is because if the airbag and occupant restraint system does not work in an accident the passenger could been injured or killed. I think this issue should be taken up and a recall of vehicles.

My town and country is involved in the l25 recall. There have been several occasions where during operation, the key moves from the "on" position. This causes the vehicle to shut off and i am unable to steer or engage the brakes. I have contacted chrysler several times about this and to receive an estimated time of when the parts will be available for repair. I contacted them today, 1/6/2015 to let them know that it happened again and i almost caused an accident on a major highway. I also requested for them to provide me with a safe vehicle to drive while waiting on the parts for repair due to the concern i had for the safety of my children and other drivers. They said that it was not possible because they did not know when the parts would be available. This disregard for the safety of my family and the public is unacceptable. I would like to be contacted and informed of other actions i can take so that injuries and/or deaths do not occur due to their failure to remedy this defect and refusal to provide me with temporary safe transportation.

My son and a friend took my car to a movie. The car suddenly quit running while driving on a residential street at approximately 25mph. There have been two recalls on the vehicle concerning the win module and win module detents. In 2010 i experienced the same exact issue, had the car towed to a dealership and they supposedly fixed the problem. This recent incident was exactly like the first. The dealership is refusing to replace the module and wants me to pay $600 to have it fixed. The car will not start without this repair. I am at wits end wondering why it is my responsibility to pay for a known safety issue repair.

While driving at various speeds the warning bell sounds, then the air bag warning icon lights, then all other warning icons light, then all gauges go dead for about a second, the the front wipers swipe 2-4 times. After that, if the air bag warning icon light stays on, the entire process will reoccur every few minutes. Sometimes it will stop after a few iterations, sometimes it will go on for hours. The problem seams to be more prevalent after the vehicle has been parked in the hot sun. Sometimes, disconnecting the battery's negative cable for at least 30 minutes will reset it until it is parked in the sun.

The problems i experienced included:1.car stopping while driving2.ignition sticks and turns for extended period, then starts3.ignition does not start, just clicks, the starts after several tries.i put in new starter for $400 that did not fix it.chrysler recommended replacement of the win module at my cost of $800 to fix this problem.said repair should fix all of this issues.they said it was warranty repair and to send in payment receipts for reimbursement.it appears that this was a recall from 2011 under the same l25.this repair was done on 8/22/2014 and did not fix the problem.have not been reimbursed.chrysler then acknowledged another updated l25 recall and that the fix will permanently repair van and fix all issues.they sent official recall notice undated but received by me on 9/15/2014.parts to permanently fix this defect are unavailable currently.i have not driven the vehicle since 9/5/2014 because i do not feel safe in it, as it has stopped on the road previously.the letter states that vehicle may stop, increasing the risk of crash and injury, but that i should go ahead and drive it anyways.what!!as a responsible and safe person, i choose not to drive this rather than take the risk.how can you issue recall but not have the parts to fix it?they do not even have a time frame.how can i expedite recall repairs?what legal recourse do i have?i don't want this car anymore.will it be safe even when they finally get the proper parts and repair it?i am very upset with this issue, as well as the loss of use of my vehicle for an extended time, inconvenience, mental distress, and additional costs.this is totally irresponsible and lacking in care by chrysler. This is the same problem gm had with many injuries and deaths.how many people must get hurt or die?i will not buy another product from them.
My wife was stopped on the i-94 freeway in detroit, mi.a vehicle was closing in behind her at a high rate of speed, and crashed into the rear end of the vehicle.her vehicle then lunged forward and hit the vehicle in front of her.the front and rear of the vehicle experienced significant damage, yet none of the airbags in the vehicle deployed.my wife's head contacted the steering wheel.she was transported by ambulance to the hospital for evaluation.she currently has a fractured nose, and severely swollen/black&blue eyes.we have 2 children under the age of 5, who thankfully were not in the vehicle.the fireman on the scene had stated that he has been working as a fireman for 18 years, and he has never seen a vehicle with as much frontal damage in which the airbags did not deploy.we have filed a claim with our insurance company, and fully expect the vehicle to be totaled out due to the significant damage.i have since taken many pictures of the damage, and can send them to you if you provide an actual email address.

In december of 2013 my car ignition began shutting off while driving. First time i was going 45 mph. It happened 3 times last winter and stopped. Chrysler issued an l25 recall 2 mo ago but no eta on parts still as of today. Key fob slipped to the accessory position while driving on 10/16 and 10/21 just recently while leaving the parking garage at my office. Garage is a bit bumpy like all and i have removed all keys from the fob per chrysler instructions. They claim this happens at low speeds but it has happened to me going 45-50 mph last winter. On 10/21 i was going down the parking deck on an incline and the engine shut off. Someone was changing a flat tire in aparking spot at the end the ramp i was on and a car was behind me.i didn't know the engine has shut off until i go to brake and turn. I barely stopped in time so as not to hit the guy changing his tire and the person behind me almost slammed into me. Add to this the airbags become ineffective due to the power loss and i have no power steering or power brakes. I was about to turn at the bottom of the ramp when i realized i had no power. I could have killed the person in front and the person behind almost took me out. The frequency of this happening is increasing and chrysler refuses to do anything. They told me today the recall is too big and they don't have the loaner cars to accommodate and chrysler claims this only happens at low speeds on bumpy roads and the car is safe to drive. I have a special needs child who is always in the car with me and i'm always carpooling with my daughter's gymnastics team so i always have kids in my car going to performances. This is putting me and my family and other kids at risk. My car is not safe and chrysler refuses to do anything about this. I need a loaner car and quick. I drive to work 5 days a week for an hour each way plus all the other things i have to do to transport my kids.

Tipm(total power control module) acted up evidenced by no power occasionally to the car one week before total failure of the tipm. Able to get started after multiple tries and got it to tires plus for diagnosis and repair. After hearing from service manager that problem is widespread & in my reading on internet about all the cars with this problem i called the chrysler dealership.they acted surprised and played 'tough' on the issue by saying the part is only covered for 2 years.repairs were made, computer flashed at chrysler and the cost to me for the defect was $1121.85 and a week later for an additional $104.68 for a battery replacement. (old battery still good, but suspect to power issue, perhaps related?)today, 7/9/15, my car is once again down with the same computer problem, this time having to be towed in as it would not "jump."this problem is widespread and the car company should reimburse consumers for their cost and trouble.thank you.

Pushed the unlock button on the key fob one day and the horn started blaring, windshield washer spraying, front and rear wipers running, doors locking/unlocking. I had to get the hard key out of the fob to unlock the doors and pop the hood to disconnect the battery. The problem cleared randomly. This has happened about 7 times. I finally decided to pull the fuses for the horn as not to annoy the neighbors. The next time it went off, i heard clicking noises from the fuse box under the hood. I tapped the fuse box the problem stopped. I don't notice anything suspicious that might be causing this. This has also happened while driving creating a dangerous situation. The problem has also been triggered while trying to open the door while locked. Based on the other complaints, i think this really needs to be a recall. The vehicle is great otherwise. It is a shame when you think you have a good vehicle and then something like this happens. I do not feel safe driving my family in the van.

After arriving at work and entering my office, i heard a horn continuously going off and realized it was coming from my 2008 chrysler town and country.when i went outside, i also noticed that the front and rear windshield wipers were on at a high speed, as well as my lights.the instrument panel inside was flashing and the hazard lights were flashing.i then realized that the van was actually on and running... Without the key in the ignition!somehow it had started itself up (mine does not have that feature).i tried everything i could think of to get it to stop by turning on the ignition with the key, pressing and holding the brake - nothing worked.after about 5 minutes, a coworker came to help me disconnect the battery but just before we disconnected it the van stopped and it was quiet again.i cranked the car up with the key and everything seemed to be normal.i have yet to drive it so i will see in a few hours if anything is affected.i plan on calling my dealership today about this problem!

While traveling at speeds less than 40 mph, and typically within 5 minutes of starting, the vehicle will shut down all power (engine, electrical, and brakes) while driving, making it very hard to stop the vehicle, and very dangerous . I have taken it to the dealer and they stated it was overheating and result of the coolant system leaking, which we had them fix, and problem continues to occur.there was no way it was overheating that quickly after starting.dealer has refused to look at other postings online that suggest this is a prevalent problem, and unrelated to the coolant system.

Many, many , many times this has happened. I will either be slowing down for a red light, to make a turn, or hit a bump and the car shuts off. No particular reason, no idiot lights come on indicating a problem. If i didn't pay attention to the heating/cooling fan, it shuts off,i wouldn't know this has happened. Twice i have been driving on the freeway, hit a bump and thecar shuts off. 65 mph with children and pets in the car!. A couple of times the car has just shut off at a stop, no bump, nothing apparent. I have been in to the dealership three times, spending large amounts of money and all they can say to me is i'm sorry we could not duplicate the situation. I received a recall notice on 09-15-2014 about the problem and as ofthis date, 01-16-2015 i have not been notified that it is my turn to get the ignition fixed. My husband and i both called the dealership two times each and all they can say is that the part hasn't been manufactured or that they haven't heard anything from chrysler.
Car turn offat key fob. For the last month key fob has been getting stuck in ignition switch to . Andsometimes does not release for ignition switch. I called chrysler and they said my van was not in recall.
Car gets totally possessed.it cuts off in the of driving one time on the highway. The lights wipers and horn goes on by itself and doesnt stop until the battery is disconnected. I came out the store and my wipers and horn was going off the keys were in my hand. While pumping gas the radio started playing and wipers going off. The keys were in my handthe doors unlock by themselves one they opened. While driving uphill.the car won't off when the key comes out. In the park and off position sometimes it doesn't start at all.
While driving, the wipers started at high speed, along with the windshield wiper fluid shooting out continuously so i could not see out the windshield.i pulled over and turned the key to turn the car off and the wipers and fluid did not stop.the locks would not unlock and i was stranded in a very bad busy part of the road.i had to have a police officer push me off of the road.after a long while, the car started back up.but it occurred later that morning, and i had to have it towed to a repair shop at the cost of $94.90.the repair shop could not find what the problem was.they said it was running fine.i do not feel safe driving this vehicle, nor do i feel this vehicle is safe for my children to drive.i am totally perplexed as to what to do.
My traction sensor is not working which is causing my a safety issue. When i start driving (in motion), the abs traction starts even when there is no water, ice or poor driving conditions. The dealership replaced the abs module and its still doing it. They now say they will have to replace the sensor in the steering column (wheel). This is very scary as it stops my acceleration and it affects the anti-lock breaks. I was hoping this was all due to an minor auto collision but the insurance company told me there is absolutely no way this could have been caused because of it. They said its a coincidence and that it just happened on its own at the same time. I would say the fault is unknown.

Wiring running at both back doors get caught up in door track and break.this causes windows and doors electrical systems to malfunction.speedometer is not working along with mileage. This kills battery requiring you to jump vehicle often. This has occurred in the past year, losing different things as time goes by.
The vehicle will suddenly die while in motion.the ignition must be turned off before it will restart.therefore, we must come to a complete stop.very dangerous on a busy street.fortunately, i was able to recently coast off the highway to restart.it will also have electrical malfunction such as all the gauges intermittently shutting off and not starting.
On 6/25, while driving down the highway i experienced some type of a power surge.the car started bucking, the a/c went off the horn started going off, the wipers started going off, the engine started revving.i was able to get off the parkway and pull into a parking lot.the things kept on happening until i turned the vehicle off.i tried to restart the vehicle, but it seemed like the vehicle was dead.nothing worked.i had to have the vehicle towed to my house. On 6/27 i tried to start the vehicle and it srarted right up.i turned it off and tried to restart it, but again everything was dead.on 6/30 without doing anything the lights in the vehicle started flashing, the rear windshield washer started squirted washer fluid until it was empty, but the washer motor kept on operating.this lasted for about 20 minutes until it finally stopped. I attemptd to start the vehicle, but once again everything was dead.i was actually afraid while i was driving the vehicle, because of all the safety implications. When is a safety recall going to be issued?these problems could have deadly results.

After a recall for airbag module was performed the electrical system started acting up, the window won't roll down the wipers are on constantly, the turn signals don't work! pretty much all the electrical equipment is off except headlights are on all the time and so are the wipers. I took it to an electrical shop because i think the dealer is incompetent and they replaced the win module and fuse box in january 2012, did not fix the problem has been acting up sporadically all year long, getting worse. Took to dealership in april 2013 they couldn't find anything, this is a dangerous vehicle!!!

Automobile shuts off unexpectedly while driving.driving in dry conditions. Speed range between 20-35 mph the car unexpectedly shuts off. The steering becomes un-responsive, brakes fail and notwork.you have to take the keys out of the ignition, and re-insert keys to get the car to start again.i reported this issue last year. This happened also last year several times. Chrysler said it was a software issue and updated software. This is a lie. The car has done this 10 times since owning it. I drive 5 children to school. This is a very big safety issue.2009+ town and country's have been recalled for this very complaint, but will not acknowledge it for 2008 models.i guess they are going to wait til a family gets killed to recognize it.i am afraid to sell this car to anyone.

Yes i having and issue with my wife's 2008 chrysler town and country minivan, about a week ago the ignition module where the key fob sits while driving, has been shifting to the off position on its own while the vehicle is in motion, thus taking power away from the steering and braking system. It has created two incidents where my wife ran off the road dented the left sliding door and scratched the van up, and the other incident was when she was back up it shut down and she slammed into the park vehicle and dented the rear tail gate cause she was not able to bring it to a stop, no damage to other vehicle was made. So we had the vehicle towed to the nearest chrysler dealership, and found out that several thousand of these vehicles are under recall, except my year/model they start the recall one year newer than my model which has the same type of ignition module, inwhich i am having the same exact safety issue as the newer model.i was informed by the dealership that to repair it back to whole, that is a new module, and 2 new keys are they old keys wont work that it will cost me $800... This is absurd, this is safety issue, and the recall needs to be widened to allow all models with these junk ignition modules to be replaced for the safety of the general public. I don't think i should have to pay for a serious safety issue as this, when my model of vehicle certainly should have been included, as it has the same problem.i have contacted chrysler headquarters and filed a formal complaint, now i am waiting to see how they handle this.

I used my remote key button to start my vehicle, when i opened the door to enter the vehicle i noticed that the windshield wipers came on by them selves, they operated as if they were on delay until i placed the ignition key into the slot and place it in the start position, i then backed up and headed to work, all the way into town my dash lights flickered off and on, the wipers operated all by themselves even though they were turned off, the key chime continually chimed, both of the front window and the side view mirror control buttons on the driver side control panel did not work, but the side door window buttons and the rear louver window buttons and the passenger door window control panel buttons worked, the headlights flashed off and on and the turn signal lights were intermittent when switched on, as i said before the driver side window buttons would not work, therefore i could not use hand signals and i almost got rear ended. Also when applying the brake pedal the brakes would chatter and the front end of the vehicle shook so much it felt like the front end was going to come off. So i shut off the vehicle and started it normally with the key in the ignition, it still went crazy, the same thing was happening as described earlier, i later looked online and one forum answer said to disconnect the battery to try and do a reset, i disconnected the battery completely and then after 5 minutes i hooked the battery back up and started the vehicle, no change it was still doing the same thing and continues to do it every time i start the vehicle.i cannot afford another vehicle payment, so i continue to drive it this way! i have seen this problem mentioned all over the internet posted on many chrysler and dodge product forums! it seems to be that there are not any recalls or tsr's relating to this problem but there certainly should be!!!!

Car lost power steering and brakes, found out later there was a recall (l25). Brought to dealership in old saybrook, ct. Parts not available. Recall is for exactly the same symptoms we experienced. Called chrysler for rental or other dealerships, told i was out of luck and out of warranty it is not a warranty issue it is a recall issue. They said park it or drive it. They say it is safe but it is not. If the engine turned off on the highway my kids would be dead. Its ridiculous that they have a safety recall and don't have the parts, they are open for huge liability there. Bottom line is i don't have a safe car due to their defect, and they wont do anything about it. Eta on repair part is not know by chrysler.

I am still waiting on parts for this recall that was issued in 2011 and its almost 2015 and now my entire keyfob cannot be removed from the fobik as it is stuck in (acc) mode and chrysler is trying to charge me $600 for a replacement.upon starting your vehicle (vin: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx), the frequency operated button ignition key (fobik), may not fully seat in the ?on? position. If not fully seated, under certain operating conditions (for example bumpy roads) the fobik could inadvertently move to the ?accessory? mode. This could cause unintended engine shut off and increase the risk of a crash under certain driving conditions.what your dealer will do... Chrysler will repair your vehicle free of charge (parts and labor). To do this, your dealer will inspect the win module and install a secondary fobik detent system if required. The work will take abouthour to complete. However, additional time may be necessary depending on service schedules.what you must do to ensure your safety...parts to complete this recall will be available in dealerships on july 15, 2011. At that time, contact your chrysler, jeep, or dodge dealer to schedule a service appointment. Ask the dealer to hold the parts for your vehicle or to order them before your appointment. Please bring this letter with you to your dealer.until this repair is completed, the vehicle can be driven. However, as a precaution, all drivers are advised to remove all objects from the fobik (such as additional keys, key chains, etc.) and ensure that the fobik is securely and correctly aligned in the ?on?position and not aligned between the ?on? and ?accessory? position before driving the vehicle.if you need help... If you have questions or concerns which your dealer is unable to resolve, please contact the chrysler group recall assistance center at 1-800-853-1403.
Recall: l25 / nhtsa 14v-373once we received this notice we contacted our local dealership about this recall, and were notified the parts were not available for this year vehicle .move forward to today, i contacted our local dealership and was told that the part in question is still not available, but the parts for the 2010 models are being manufactured and shipped to dealerships, but there is no idea when the part in question for the 2008 models will be manufactured and shipped. So i called the chrysler group recall assistance center i spoke to a person by the name of frank and he basically told me the same thing except the company is currently only concentrating on the 2010 models and it is unknown when they will work on the 2008 models. I feel this backward way of thinking is putting earlier model purchasers' at risk with a bit of disregard, for said owners!!!!!!

Van intermittently stalls at low speed unexpectedly. Gauges will fail at high speed, but has only died at low speeds. Occurs when cold outside. Must turn ignition off and on again to start.sometimes must put in gear and back to park first.
Slowing down to turn and van dies (completely dead).wont restart unless i disconnect battery and reboot system.
After driving approximately 10 miles home from work, i parked the van in my driveway, took the keys, and went inside.about five minutes later, my horn began to blow, windshield wipers rapidly moving and spraying windshield wiper fluid everywhere, all the doors locked, and this continued until battery was disabled.hooked battery back up and began to drive. After a few miles, the headlights went out, the windshield wipers began rapidly wiping and spraying, the horn frantically blowing, and doors unlocked and locked several times.had to again remove the battery to stop.contacted chrysler who claims they have never heard of such a thing.come to find hundreds of similar complaints.

Vehicle was stationary and parked for hours in the driveway.for no reason the alarm went off on my car. Found key fob to shut off alarm. Daughter went to see what happened, then came to tell me there was smoke coming from my rear passenger sliding door. Went outside and heard noise that door was trying to open. Used key fob to try to unlock door. Tried to manually open door. Door wouldn't open and smoke continued. Didn't know if fire was inside door and was parked by garage so called 911 to put out potential fire. Concerned that there was electrical problem so continued to park car in street not close to house. Called chrysler customer service and they said they would send an investigator due to concern of fire. Dealer said problem was due to a broken door latch and mechanical assembly mechanism needed to be replaced in addition to door handle for $1200, but didn't want to get work done until i got the information from the investigation. About 3 weeks later got a letter from chrysler special investigations. They said due to the age and mileage of my vehicle, there are a number of factors outside the manufacturer's control that could have been contributed to your incident.*dtupdated 10/30/18
Regarding safety recall: l25/nhtsa 14v-373i have been complaining about this problem since 2008!since it is an intermittent problem, the service representatives at east hills chrysler (greenvale, ny) ignored me.i was told repeatedly that there was no such problem.my car stalled several times when i was on ny expressways going approximately 55 mph, and on neighborhood roads going a range of 25 to 40.it happened to my 18 yr old daughter on the long island expressway when she was going 55.we andyou are lucky no accident occurred and we were able to get to the side of the road.the car does not start properly either.the ignition does not catch unless the fobik is wiggled of the brakes and gas pedal are tapped repeatedly.i complained about this problem every time i took my car to the dealership over the last 6 years.each time, i was given a different excuse.now east hills has my car indefinitely because parts are on back order indefinitely.to boot, the loaner car was dirty, smells bad, windshield was smoky, one tire needed air, and the washer fluid was empty.i am not at all satisfied with this car or the east hills chrysler dealership.maybe someday, you will also acknowledge the brake system problem.for now, it's about time you acknowledged the ignition/fobik problem!we've known about the problem for years!

For the last five years we have been dealing with a mysterious electrical issue.there are hundreds of complaints online of the same issue.the van will be fine and you get in to start it and when turning the key it will not start.full charge, full battery. Starter is fine - everything checks out fine.with a jump it will usually start.sometimes it will start on it's own if you wait a little while.people on boards have stated replacing dozens of things - to then have the same issue a couple days later.we are use to having to jump our vehicle about 1 out of 20 times.we have taken it to multiple mechanics and had multiple things checked and replaced. An example of a board with many others experiencing the same thing can be found here:https://forums.edmunds.com/discussion/12634/chrysler/town-and-country/2008-t-c-ignition-switch-problem/p1in addition - sometimes you will be driving and everything starts going off (wipers, lights, flashers, horn, entire dash lights up, etc - no resolve).this can happen while stationary or driving.

On may 2, the van would not start after coming out from a restaurant.the interesting thing is that the wipers had been going and the wiper fluid was empty and wiper fluid was all over the windshield and car.the battery was jumped as a short-term fix, but within a few miles (while going approximately 65mph), the car started honking its horn and wipers were going while driving.i quickly exited the highway and pulled into a nearby gas station.at that time, i put the vehicle into park and took the key out.even after the key was taken out, the vehicle continued to run, honk, and run the wipers.this continued for approximately 3 minutes before it quit by itself.the vehicle was towed to a nearby firestone center and the battery was replaced.this was unfortunately not the solution because another incident (same symptoms) occurred just 3 days later while driving.again, my wife got the vehicle to a safe place, but this time, she could not even get the van into the ?park? position.she was able to get the key out, but the car continued to run.she had to hold her foot on the brake and finally inserted the metal part of the key to get the engine to turn off and allow her to move it to the ?park? position and safely exit the vehicle..as you can imagine, this was an expensive incident, but more importantly, it presented a safety issue to me and my family because of the vehicle?s inability to stop and put into ?park? position.it also presented a safety concern driving with the car while it was not in an electronically stable condition and was hazardous to other drivers.i have researched this issue on the internet and see similar complaints.

Walked out to car and it started freaking out. Lights flashing, wipers on, washer fluid dispersing, horn blowing etc. It would not stop. Had to disconnect the battery to get things to stop. When i try to reconnect it starts back again.
Every time the i remove the key in the ignition after driving the vehicle, it does not either turn off and keeps running or the key can not be removed after placing it in park. I have 2 sets of key fobs, and it happens to both of them. It has gotten to the point where i will not drive it with my family of 6. I have been receiving letters from chrysler stating that they have no time table for a replacement of the ignition switch. It has been over 2 years of letters with no answer in sight. Starting to get to the point of hiring an attorney if nothing is getting resolved soon.

When on the road in warmer weather everything is fine and then all electrical components stop working windows, air conditioner, speed control, radio, not sure what else. All idiot lights come on, wipers come on and wont stop until key is in off position or if you keep driving it will eventuality come to normal but until it does, no windows, no ac makes it a hazard in traffic at temps around 100 degrees. Makes one wonder what will happen next because it gets real hot in the car real fast and it works on your mind. When the weather is cool it hardly ever happens but when it does occur its for a shorter time. Headlites say on but i'm not sure about the brake lites and turn signals.

The electrical wires get caught in the door. While driving down the highway and city street,my windshield wipers came on, and all lights illuminated on my dash, and there was nothing that i could do to stop it. Later on, i determined that when the wires touched against something in the door, it would cause this reaction.
To whom it may my 2008 chrysler town and country caught fire last friday in my garage. When i woke up to bring my kids to school i noticed the back part of the car was burned in the car was filled with smoke. I immediately called the fire department once they got there they noticed the car was cold, that the fire had been started, and put itself out, in the middle of the night. The fire inspector came as well, and determined it was an electrical fire from the rear speaker, where my daughter typical sits.my car is a total loss. Likely we would not hurt, the fire was right about the gas tank! i'm wondering if this is something i could file a case on or if you can direct me to someone who handles cases such as this. As far as i know, according to my insurance company, price i was not going to help me out even though it was a manufacture error.any information you could provide will be greatly appreciated.thank you

Vehicle acted up for a couple of weeks, would start fine then i would turn it off, next time it would not start. Would wait a while and then it would start. Finally went to start and it would not at all. Had it towed and it took two days to have a new win module and two new fobs replaced charged $600.00 now i have to have them replaced again because of recall r03 that replaces l25. Chrysler says it is not the same problem so no reimbursement and have to replace again because they didn't have new win part last year, so i feel they basically charged me for a defective part but their investigation says it is not the same problem they are recalling but it is the exact same part. I really like my van but will not be purchasing another chrysler product, i was looking for a new vehicle when i received this recall, but since all of this apparently i do not matter to this company and i will be taking my business elsewhere.

While driving in town, approximately 25 miles an hour, my engine shut off, and i lost power steering, and brakes due to the engine being off. The horn was blowing constantly, not honking or alarm sounding, but blaring. My wipers were on high, and windshield wash was spraying all over. My reverse lights were on, even though the vehicle was in park. I was able to restart the vehicle after this spell stopped. About 3-5 minutes.the next day, (today) the very same thing happened within a few minutes of starting the vehicle. And the spell lasted about 5 minutes.it has happened twice today.first the horn started blaring, then the wipers turned on high, and windshield wash started spraying, and the engin stalled. Even upon removing the key, and opening the door, the above listed problems continued for 5 or more minutes. Also, the fan, for the heat/ac isn't working right now either. It comes and goes.
My car's electrical system goes crazy.the wipers go on at a very fast speed along with the fluid spewing out at a very fast rate.the horn goes off without being able to stop it.the screen where i see the radio channels and the back-up camera flashes uncontrollably.the rear wiper goes off and the fluid also just pours out.this has happened 3x's.the dealership couldn't find anything the time i brought it in.this last time it happened i was able to record it via my phone.i hope now by the dealership seeing it they will see what's wrong.i saw areport on cbs news on aug. 27th.and saw that a woman who had the same issue also had a few items replaced because of this one being the fuel pump.my fuel pump has now been replaced, like her, i wonder if this is all due to tipm?thank you.

Yesterday i got in my van and as soon as i turned it on i noticed that my dash light were flashing. I put the van in reverse and my horn honked a couple times on its own, then the windshield washer fluid started spraying. I drove straight to auto zone to have them put it on their machine to check to see what the problem was. Auto zone showed no problems. I continued on to my destination with no more problems. Today the same thing happened only worse!! my horn started blaring and did not stop windshield wipers both front and back were going!!! and all of my lights were on (parking lights, headlights, reverse lights)!! i turned the van off and got out horn still blaring and wipers still going, opened hood and realized the [xxx] van was also still running!!!!!! no key in the ignition!!! long story short i had to unplug the battery and alternator to stop the madness!!! now i find out it is the tipm and its going to cost over $1000!!!! i have to double check and see if my extended warranty is going to cover it but i'm almost sure it won't!!! i am going to be more than irrate if i have to come out of pocket to fix something that obviously is faulty and should be recalled!!!!!!!! chrysler!!!!information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
For recall notice 14v-373 replacement parts are unavailable. I have experienced the problem described in the recall as well as other related issues multiple times. I think the manufacturer has exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. I (the owner) have notified the manufacturer. The manufacturer customer service representative was very helpful and called my local dealership to check on the part. My car is on the list. I am not sure what else to do.

Our 2008 chrysler town & country leaked water from a manufacturer defect in the ac drain tube, rotted the carpet and underlay, filled the wiring harness under the passenger carpet with water. The drain tube was replaced under a recall. The ac started to blow hot air.the dealer said it was the ac compressor so we had it replaced. $ 800. This did not fix the problem so they said it needed theac pressure switch and harness so we replaced it. $400. This still did not fix the problem so the chrysler dealer then diagnosed the tipm. After $ 1200 we still have no ac. We have another $ 500 to pay if we can ever get the part. The whole problem is from the water from the defective drain tube shorting the electrical system and chrysler know it. The dealer said the tipm was on back order and there were 600 others ahead of us. We contacted chrysler but they are just giving us the run around. We bought chrysler to support american jobs. What a grave mistake.

I have had trouble getting my key out of the ignition.it gets stuck in the acc mode.after shifting through the gears several times it usually releases and allows me to get it out.however, when i went to start my car the other morning, my key wouldn't even go in the slot at all!!!now, i am stuck with this crap van that costs a ton to fix.i called the dealer about the l-25 recall because mine hasn't been fixed and they were told by chrysler that they can't fix that right now.apparently, whatever they were doing to fix it wasn't working so until they come up with another plan, they can't do it.i hate to pay to fix a part that they will have to replace on recall anyway.chrysler vans are junk.

While driving 55 mph down a rural road at night the headlights went out. Nearly went off the roadway attempting to stop. After a few minutes one headlight came back on then went out again. After shutting off the engine and re-starting the vehicle the headlights came back on. This vehicle is not safe to drive at night.
We were exiting a parking lot and pulling out onto a main road when the horn started honking, the windshield wipers started full speed (both front and back with constant wiper fluid), the interior lights flashed, all the interior warning lights were on, and the headlights shut off. We pulled into the next parking lot & turned the van off, but the horn kept going off for at least 5 minutes along with the wiper, lights, etc. We started it up again with the same results. We were so thankful we were not on the highway yet as we could easily have been killed! we left the van in a nearby parking lot for the night and tried to take it to a dealership the next morning, but they didn't have any open appts till later this week. I'm not sure i could ever feel safe driving this vehicle again as i've read a lot of the same complaints about this make/model/year and it seems like it keeps happening without warning. This is very dangerous & i don't feel safe driving my children around in it!

We have been continuously hassled with electrical issues with our van.for approximately 4 months we have been experiencing brief issues with all the lights coming on in the gauge cluster along with a pulsing of the dashboard lights and the resetting of the electrical components randomly in the van.we replaced the battery and the issue seemed to go away. After 2-3 weeks it started up again. Me and my family were driving down a highway for about 30 minutes when the cluster gauge suddenly started beeping and all the lights began to flash on and off, the speedometer and tachometer dropped to 0, the radio turned on and off multiple times and the engine shut down briefly while driving on the highway.immediately after the problem began i pulled off the road and restarted the car, the problem was gone!two days later my wife was taking our kids to school, and after less than 5 minutes of driving the car she experienced the exact same issues.this time before she made it off the road there was a complete loss of power, the brakes stopped working and the steering wheel completely locked up, she was unable to make it to the side of the road! again after a immediate restart the problem went away.we contacted the dealer and we were told that if they could not recreate the problem, there was nothing they could do to fix it.this is a issue because the problem happens randomly.we are aware that this problem has plagued a very large group of consumers and the dealer does nothing but repair random parts because they cannot properly recreate the problem due to its randomness.i feel the problem could easily cause a fatality if the steering wheel locks up at high speed or while turning!

My gig system, inclusive of radio, navigation, hands free (bluetooth) phone, rear back-up camera, and video system, continues to lock-up, re-boot itself, and generally creates unsafe driving conditions due to its inability to properly function. The system has been replaced twice, but the issues continue. There are several technical service bulletins regarding this problem. Chrysler agreed to a collateral exchange of the vehicle in august 2008, but is now refusing to follow through (many other problems also exist with the vehicle like the power sliding doors don't properly shut and open by themselves, transmission issues, radiator issues, etc.)

When shutting off engine today, 08/26/15, switch would not go to the "off" position but stayed in accessory position causing the battery to drain.we have been on the recall list for over a year and dealer tells us he is unable to get parts. We have called our local dealer, don nester chrysler in houghton lake mi numerous times about our concern over this recall.i called them again this morning and was told again that they are unable to get the parts through chrysler so i called chrysler customer service and talked to damon. He then called three different dealers in my 48653 area looking for parts.when he was unable to locate them he told me i would just "have to wait".i explained that i needed the parts shipped over night to my dealer and was told that was impossible.i then asked for a loaner and was told that was not a option. I then asked to talk to a supervisor and he refused to connect me to anyone else. His only suggestion was to call every dealer in the state of michigan to get on there list! i now have a 7 year old van that is not operable, and that parts are not available for!
My 2008 t&c's tpim started acting up (key click/no start) when in the 90 degree summer of 2017.now it consistently does this when the external temperature is above 80 degrees.i've gotten by with resetting the gear selector and it will start on the first or second try but recently it is getting worse.

I was driving the van home going about 45 mph, when all of the lights on the dash flashed on and the gauges all shot up. I lost my power steering, and realized that the van was no longer running. I tried my best to pull it off of the road, but it was difficult without power steering. The dash lights were all still on at this point. Once i was semi-safely off the road, i put the car in park and shut the ignition off. I immediately turned the ignition back on, and it seemed fine. I continued home. This has happened to me on several different occasions. After about the 3rd time, i had a local store service it. We did not have a chrysler dealership at the time. They could get no error code in the diagnostics, but told me the throttle plate sensor (?) needed to be cleaned, and perhaps that would help. It did not. It continues to do this, and there is never any warning. So far, it has only happened to me going 45 or so. I've contacted chrysler about this, and of course they have no record of this type of problem. I told her all she had to do was google it. That's what i did. Their advice was to either hand it over to the dealership to see if they could get it to malfunction (but since it could be weeks or months before it happens, that's really not an option, is it?) or the next time it does that, document everything that happens (as i've done here and reported to them) and take it to the dealership. I stressed that the van always restarts, and the chances that they'd find a code to explain what had already happened and was now over was pretty minimal. It seems that they just don't care to dig deeper, or research possible causes, or even take a vehicle that's having this issue and study it under a microscope. Looks like they're just keeping their fingers crossed that no one actually dies as a result of this issue.

My 2008 chrysler town & country minivan turned off while driving 65-70 mph on the highway. I was driving a consistent speed for minutes when it felt like my car was slowing down despite pushing the gas pedal. I looked at the instruments and the speedometer and rpm gauge both read "zero." i coasted in heavy traffic until i could pull over to a safe shoulder on the highway. It was a scary experience that my car would not respond to pushing the gas pedal. Also, it felt like the power brakes were not working while stopping. This is the third time this has happened in the last 3 months. On two of those occasions the transmission downshifted into 2nd gear for no known reason while driving highway speeds. In all cases i pulled over, turned the car off, took the key out and the vehicle worked fine for 2-4 weeks. I took the vehicle to the dealership and they could not find any problems with it. They said there were no error codes for the engine or transmission.

We removed/replaced a fuse, which stopped the horn, wipers, etc. I drove home.1-28-16, 122487 milesi left work, hit my fob's unlock button, the wipers started going, etc. (the horn's had burned out from a previous incident).

My 2008 minivan started going electrically haywire while driving and i immediately drove to a nearby dealer. I pulled into service area with horns blowing, windshield wipers and fluid going full tilt constantly, with all switches in the off position. I had to keep my foot on the brake so the car wouldn't get away from me and plow into some one or thing! after i got into the service area everything stopped. In a few minutes one of the managers cranked the car a couple of times and told me that it would be better to have the car brought back when it had the same symptoms again. They said it is easier to find the problem. So i left and went on line and found hundreds of similar incidents from other owners.

I got into my vehicle the morning of 6/5/12, at approximately 7:45am after dropping my daughter off at daycare to find my vehicle had no radio, air/heat, windows, blinkers brake lights or any other electrical features.i drove it less than a half mile from the daycare to my office, where i shut it off, got out and called my dealership who suggested i should bring it in immediately.after setting up the service call, i got back into the vehicle after less than 30 minutes and everything appeared to work.upon arriving at the dealership about 15 minutes later, i left it with the service department to review.about 1 day later, it was determined that the tipm (totally integrated power module) was faulty and a new one would need to be put in.now 9 days later, it is still at the dealership in the service department because no one knows when the part will be available, there appears to be a back order with the supplier and no one at the dealership or so far the mfg.

I have had several problems with the 2008 chrysler minivan. Electrical, engine, ignition, etc. I even had the one door not have the sensor go off and pinch my one twins leg into the door! over the years, the ignition switch pops over and stops the car completely while driving at intermittent times. I could be going 20 miles an hour or on the highway driving at a higher rate of speed. The whole van shuts down so if you are on the highway, you can barely steer to get over (and thankfully i have been able to do so). I received a recall notice in june. It is november and my van still isn't fixed. The dealership and chrysler know that i am having the issue and have had it. I have called and voiced my complaints. I am "number 5" in line to get the part! so, what will chrysler do when i get rear ended or injured when my vehicle fails to operate. The van shuts off at least once a week while i am driving it. If i didn't have full, lifetime warranty, this van would have been traded in the year after i purchased it. It has been nothing but problems since i have owned it. Chrysler is not doing its job to keep people safe. They have not taken my issue seriously and brush it off as not a big deal. I have a van because i have kids. I would think that safety would be of utmost importance but it falls on deaf ears.

They informed me that i could have the work completed on june 23, 2015 so i made an appointment.i showed up on the 23rd of june and i was told that there were no parts available for the recall above and that i should call back in two weeks and check on the status of the parts.i came back after the two week period of time and was told that the parts are still not available and i was put on a waiting list.i was told that when the parts came in i would be contacted. After an additional two weeks i was told that there were no parts available and that i should speak with [xxx] in parts.he made several attempts to have the parts sent to the dealership but over a period of several days was told that there are no parts to send him.two days ago i called the fca group recall assistance center and after three attempts i was told that i am on a waiting list at jake sweeney chrysler plymouth and they will call me when the part is available.i am number 10 on their list.the recall assistance group checked all of the dealers in the greater cincinnati area and that is the best they can do.so i have a recall that is 60+ days old with no time frame for when i can have the repairs completed.any assistance you can give will be appreciated.

I just left my work related training class around 4:45pm and it was raining on that day. I noticed that i turned on my wipers, the front light and i immediately noticed that my wiper, the front light, signal light, heater and air condition stopped working suddenly. I tried to adjust my wiper speed but could not do any thing, to even turn it off was not possible. My signal failed to work, my horn also failed. I parked to see what might be the problem but could not electronically unlock the doors, also i noticed that when i turn the ignition key to on position, the dash light on the board was off, wiper is moving without been turned on and the light was not on after i started the vehicle. This is a potential danger and this has happened seven to ten times and these only happened when it was raining or during cold weather.

This complaint is being filed in connection with nhtsa'a recall # 14v-373/manufacture's recall number r03.summary: chrysler's handling of the recall is essentially a shell game that is intended to mislead the nhtsa into believing that chrysler is taking substantive action.chrysler's most recent actions are a total scam.customers are informed via mail that the replacement parts are available when in fact the parts are not available and the local dealerships can not order the correct part and have no idea of when the parts will be available.chrysler's letter stating that the part is available is a lie.backround: the original recall notice was sent to me over a year ago and stated that when the part became available i would be notified to bring the car to a dealership to replace the part.in late june of 2015, chrysler informed me that the part was now available at the dealerships.on july14, i brought my car to the dealership only to be told (at the end of the working day) that they did not have the correct replacement part.i was told that they would try to locate the correct part and would get back to me early the next day.the next day i was notified that they could not find the part.further, i was told that they can't place an order for the part and they had no idea of when the part would be available.finally, they told me that i would have to keep calling the dealership to see if the dealership had received the part.so in essence, i have to call the dealership everyday to see if they have received the correct part.chrysler is not living up to the deal they made with the nhtsa.i have experienced the condition that prompted the recall at least twice and reported it to my dealership.on one of these occurrences, i was driving on i395 through the district when the car just died in rush hour traffic.

The contact stated the windshield wipers would come on independently, all of the warning lights started flashing on and off on the instrument panel, and all of the other electrical features malfunctioned. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic. The technician was unable to diagnosed the failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The vin was not available. The failure and current mileage were 120,000.
This vehicle drove straight into a stopped vehicle resulting in $8990 in damages to the front including destruction of the bumper, replacement of the hood, etc. The air bag did not deploy; something the manager at the repair facility couldn't believe.in the past year or so, the vehicle will "capture" the key when you attempt to shut the engine off and remove the key. You have to restart the engine and cycle the key back off to remove the key. It takes as many as five cycles of shutting off the engine and restarting the engine before the key can be removed. The problem is consistent but sporadic; i.e., it happens a few times then is fine for a few weeks and then the problem resurfaces.
This vehicle is included in the l25 and r03 recalls in which the vehicle's engine can shut off "and increase the risk of a crash." i have contacted the service department of the dealership several times and am told each time that there are limited parts, they are currently out, and they do not know when/if they will receive the parts to repair my vehicle. I contacted chrysler's corporate recall customer service department, and was told the same thing. I am now forced to drive my children around in an unsafe vehicle, until when/if parts ever become available. There is absolutely no time frame in which an adequate number of parts will be shipped, or any way to track or tell when the dealership will receive it. I am forced to call everyday to check and see if i can get my vehicle fixed.
Vehicle failed to start while parked in our driveway.had battery, starter, alternator relays tested and no problems found.had vehicle towed to dealer, who just informed me that ignition module kit & key fobs must be replaced in order to start engine, cost $902.00 + tax. We had this same probleminaug. 2012, and again in june 2015 we had recall repair done.this will be the third tignition module & set of keys.apparently chryslers permanent solution lasts 3 years.

The vehicle has "shut off" while driving at moderate speeds (30-45 mph) 3 times within the past month.the most recent incident was june 25.the vehicle "shuts off" with no warning and no check engine light.i will have the vehicle checked for codes, on the off chance something has been stored.so far, i have been able to guide the vehicle to the side of the road and come to a stop. It appears that i still had steering and braking capabilities.i was able to put the vehicle in park, restart the vehicle, and travel on without incident the first two occurrences.however, on june 25, the vehicle would not immediately restart.it did restart after several attempts.unless the condition repeats for the mechanic, the likelihood of their being able to diagnose the root cause is slim.within the past week, there have been several times the vehicle has been difficult to start.the vehicle will turn on and then immediately turn itself off.adding gas by depressing the fuel pedal does not affect the vehicle's ability to remain started.it still turns itself off.thus far, i have been able to get the vehicle started eventually.this incident has occurred on both hot and cold start conditions.
When traveling down the road and coming to a stop the vehicle completely turns off with out warning or indication. We are unable to warn vehicles behind us bc the use of the 4 way hazard lights will not work. The van must be put into park to be restarted. We have had it looked at be mechanics who do not know what the cause is.
Car stalls for no apparent reason causing me to lose driving functions like brakes and steering.radio stays on.this happens about every two weeks.

I have still heard nothing froim chrysler regarding resolving recall 14v-373.the last time i asked the dealer, they said they had not gotten the parts.will they ever fix the problem, if so when?
The van started shutting it self off during driving. It occurred 7 times in the month of august. Brought it to avondale chrysler dealer with no results. This problem continued.we brought it to moore and they found nothing. I then contacted chrysler in detroit who is suppose to be working with us on this, but in the mean time we have no safe vehicle to drive. They don't seem to be in any hurry to fix this issue.the van shut off for them but they diagnose it and nothing shows. It is like someone turns the key off. No warning no engine light warning. So here we are and yesterday on the busiest road in phoenix, the van shut off and almost caused a major chain car accident. I was shaking so bad. This van is so dangerous right now and someone has to get to the bottom of this. I am keeping a file just in case we haveaccident due to this and we have had quite a few very close calls. Please help.

On 3 different occasions i experienced an engine shut down while easing foot off accelerator pedal to make a turn or slow down to stop. I experienced a bump and instrument dash lights came on. Once the sound of a bell rang as if the key is left in the ignition. However, when i depressed the accelerator while the vehicle was still moving the engine restarted. I have had a mechanic from a reputable repair shop test drive and run a computer diagnostic check and nothing appeared to be wrong. This problem is definitely a safety problem and need to be corrected by the chrysler corp. I have read of other similar complaints/problems.
Was driving down the road and the horn started blowing and the wind shield wipers went full speed and the motor turned off in the middle of the highway. They told me it was the tipm was bad and they have a ton of these vehicles with this problem! it is a very expensive fix and should be a recall item due to it being a safety problem!the vehicle shuts down and you loose all power! i have seen online other issues where the air bags actually deployed. I am so scared to drive this vehicle because i don't know if it will malfunction again!! it has happen at least 3 times already.
The following has been happening for over a week now.when starting my vehicle, the wipers independently turned on,the headlights flashed every time the wipers where deployed independently.the wiper and light on/off was checked.turned off and on, and still both items flashed, and swiped by themselves.january 29th, operator was driving 25 mph, all dash lights blinked, including but not limited to, esp, brake, engine,and airbag lights, airbag light remained on, wipers deployed and rpm gauge reduced to 0 for 5 seconds.pulled over turned ignition off, opened door, shut door restarted vehicle.the above repeated itself, with more errors, now the driver window controls did no longer work.this happened repeatedly for 5 full minutes before resuming normal operation.
Yesterday while driving in town my engine stalled, and the horn started blaring. Not honking or alarm sound, but solid blaring. My wipers turned on high, and the windshield wash started spraying all over. Front and rear wash and wipers. My reverse lights were on, even though the vehicle was in park. Also, the fan inside the van for the heater/ac isn't working.this spell lasted 3-5 minutes. Afterward, i was able to restart the van and continue on my way. Today, the same thing happened, shortly after starting the vehicle. 2 of the 3 times happened while i was driving on the street, approx 25-30 mph.

Van wouldn't start this morning.just clicks.disconnected negative terminal and reconnected.then it started.
The tipm is defective to my town and country model. The horn will blare, the front and back windshield wipers go on, the doors lock and unlock. And more importantly the transmission will not go past 30mph. This has happened to me more than once while going on the freeway at 60mph. It has also happened after i parked the car. When the car is parked, and this happens, it actually turns the engine on! something needs to be done as i am not the only person with this issue.

My car acts possessed.the horn honks, wipers are on at full speed with fluid spraying everywhere, the locks go crazy (locking and unlocking by themselves), if the car is in motion the motor dies in traffic.this has happened several times since july 14, 2012.(at least 5 times per week).last night the fan motor came on by itself and ran the battery down.we had to unplug the fan motor to get it to stop.hopefully we can find out what is causing this issue.
Traveling east on i 180, in left lane ready to turn onto i 80 east, took cruise control off and a loud revving noise occurred, engine shut down. Safely, through built up momentum was able to move across highway to berm off of right lane. Initially thought it might be transmission. Was towed to garage and after initial check, they thought it was a shifting rod. Transmission was removed from car and further testing showed it was the "torque converter". Part has been ordered, waiting till part comes in and can be replaced in car.if highway had not been clear behind us at the time of this incident, all 3 passengers in the van would have been killed by oncoming tractor trailers, etc. It was a very stressful moment for all of us.

Problem started in july 2009 with 20,630 miles. All warning lights on dash flash, wipers run, warning chime sounds.problem has persisted intermittently since then. Local chrysler dealer has looked at it several times but problem cannot be duplicated. Initially codes were stored in the obdii but not on most recent occurrences.problem seems related to outside temperature (hasn't occurred when temperature is below 30) and vehicle body movement (90% of occurrences were when turning left).problem was a nuisance but i believe yesterday's events escalated it to a potential safety issue.on february 20, mileage 26,500, temperature in 40s problem reappeared; only now it was constant. We were about 30 miles from home and had to drive home, at night, with dash warning lights constantly flashing, all instruments intermittently going to zero, windshield wipers intermittently running, and head lights and fog lights flashing. This repeated about every 10 seconds for the whole trip home. Most of the trip was on a four lane divided highway. I was driving about 50 mph but can't be sure because speedometer kept going to zero. I stopped near the beginning of the trip and removed the wiper fuse to prevent damage to the windshield.
Car shuts down while driving.first the electronic stability control light comes on. The car's power steering fails, and the car shuts down. Radio continues to play. Have to pull out the key and restart. The car shut down 4 times over a 2 mile journey.the problem is worse and dealer finds nothing wrong... Even though chrysler recalled 2009 vehicles for this same mysterious problem. They fail to acknowledge it. I have four children i drive to school....are they waiting til we get into a serious accident?i assume its cheaper to pay off a death lawsuit than a recall.

Van shuts down while driving.loses power brakes and power steering.this has happened at least 5 times in past two years.
I have a 2008 chrysler town and country. My vin number is [xxx]. I had the recall (r03 / nhtsa 14v-373) done to my vehicle that when driving the vehicle just turns off and steering locks. So i took my vehicle in for repair of this recall however, it still does the same thing. Whenever driving it turns off and locks wheel which in several instances me and my family could have been involved in an accident. I also let a friend borrow the vehicle and it did the same thing to him. Now i took it back to the dealership which is jeep chrysler located at 55 w i 240 service rd, oklahoma city, ok 73139. They stated the codes did not show a module repair and they could not replicate the problem. However, this is the same issue as before. They supposedly replaced the module and the key fobs before during the recall repair. They wanted me to pay and authorize a two hour diagnostic for a problem that should have already been repaired.this has been an ongoing problem with this vehicle since i purchased it. However, when i first went in 2011 and addressed the issue with jeep chrysler organization. They stated they could not duplicate the problem. However, years later now that a recall for the same issue that was reported by me previously , they tried fixing it. Attached is the recall for this problem. Even after they allegedly repaired this problem, it still does the same thing as before turns off, so the problem was not fixed correctly. Now they are wanting me to pay for further testing of my vehicle before they will repair the issue. It is a true safety hazard and could lead to serious injury. I also have witnesses who have noticed this problem that they claim they can't duplicate at the shop. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
When driving for a short trip or longer, when shopping or not in use, the car will not start on 1st, 2nd or 5th try. Replaced battery, starter 4 months ago. This occurs with no warning and no special time, it can happen now, a week from now andmonths-from now. I believe it's the ignition switch.i bought the car used in 2017 and this has been happing since.if you can give me some guidance on this and help me fix it or sell it.hopefully there is a call on this.

Intermittently, while driving, the driver's seat with activate and move backwards a few inches and then forwards a few inches. This is often accompanied by an audible chime and the dashboard lights flashing on once. The speedometer and tachometer will also briefly start to drop toward 0 when the dashboard lights flash on before returning to normal when the dashboard lights turn off.the movement of the driver's seat while actively driving could be a serious safety issue when it occurs unexpectedly or if it were to happen to move all the way forward or backward.this behavior at times will repeat every minute or so. Other times it will not occur for several days.
We have had intermittent problems with rear air conditioner citing in and out car torn in over but not starting randomly front door locks only work sometimes the driver seat goes back and forth randomly while driving intermittently windshield wipers go on and off randomly instrument panel lights up and shuts off intermittently some time the radio won't shut off when the car has been shut off and door is opened stays on for at least 5-10 minutes can't shut off even with the button. Was told by chrysler the tipm needed to be replaced had it replaced for just under $1000 still having all the issues

The van will shut offwhile driving on the road the steering and brakes didn't work, i have to make sure i make it to the side of the road because it doesn't always want to start. It could be 5 or 10 minutes before i get it to start and i have had to leave it on the side of the road over night until the next day and have a tow truck pick it up.. I could of been killed or killed someone else. The horn, windshield wipers and window wiper water is spraying, flash lights flashing randomly go on at any time some times while i'm driving, some times late at night and the only way to stop all of this is to disconnect the battery or let it keep going until the battery drains. The speedometer goes on when i open the door but when i turn the vehicle on the speedometer goes off/blank. This scares me i'm afraid to drive it!
The car will shut down will driving, locking the steering and braking system at random times. The cars wipers/wiper spray/horn all start going off at random. The car won't start leaving me stranded. It is almost as if the battery is dead, this is the 2nd replacement batter in 4 months. The battery has been tested, it is fine. The dealer cannot fix the car, they replaced the horn after the car went crazy and blew it out costing me $350.00.. I still pay a hefty car payment on this lemon and no one can fix it.i am of course more worried about the safety issue, i transport children/grandparents. Do i want them to be a statistic because chrysler won't stand behind their automobile. I have tried unsuccessfully to reach them and all i get is a generic form letter. I drive through the mountains and have had to replace (not turn) the rotors every time i go. This is not normal.
On 7/19 and 7/21 i put my van in park and removed the key.upon doing so, the horn continued to blow and the front and rear wipers ran at high speed.on 7/19, after immediately opening the hood, it stopped.on 7/21, i started the van back up and it continued to honk/wipers on.drove it across the street to have a mechanic look at it.again, turned it off and took key out, but it still continued.we opened the hood and the mechanic opened the fuse box.it stopped.the mechanic ran a scan to see if anything would come up as a problem with the electrical system.nothing showed up.my van was just recently added to the recall list for the ignition.is this a result of the need for a new ignition switch?not sure what i will do if it doesn't shut off.
You hear a ding, then all warning lights come on, wipers come on, radio quits, locks quits working, windows don''t work, nothing electrical works! it all started after ignition switch recall was done, we have had it the shop multiple times, and they cannot figure it out, we changed out the tipm module, and it did not work either, they are not sure what the problem is, we have put lots of money in it, and still have the same problem...there is 5 other people her in wyandotte that is having the same problems...i have a handicap daughter that depends on my van, it does this all the time, and its dangerous for her...please help us figure this out,,i love our van, but scared of it too..we have had it in overland park jeep...thanks for your time, and i hope you can help us figure out whats going on...thank you

When i went to start my car the windshield wipers came on would not go off. The dash board lights are flashing and the bell sound in the car wont go off. The speedometer and rpm gauges will not work. The lights dim. I had small issues with this previously but it stopped. I tried to rest the computer system by disconnecting the battery but it did not work.. I have had many issues with this car. My engine went out because of a rod bearing. I had asked the dealership to listen to the knocking in the car but they said they did not hear any thing. I always had my oil changed when required. My mother has the same year and model car and now hers is doing the same thing. It cost me 1500.00 to repair. I only had 60,000 miles on it when in started and 80,000 when it went out.

I am having issues with my 2008 chrysler town and country van. I recently had the dealership work on some recalls for this model. At that time, it wasn't showing any problems. Only after the recalls were addressed did the trouble begin. Now, it sporadically will not recognize either key fob. Wait a while and try to crank it and it starts back up.today, 100 miles from home with 4 small children as passengers, it decided to have a fit at the gas pump and not start. Called road side assistance and waited for them to arrive just in time for van to decide it wanted to crank again. Cranked it up and tried to park it at a friends house close by. Detected what seemed like surges with the fuel pump while trying to get there. Finally got to a stopping point and turned the key off and the van kept running. The wipers went crazy and the horn started blowing all by itself. Is this vehicle possessed by the devil or what? itis not safe to drive and i have no other choice but to tow it back to the dealership. I don't know if anyone else has the same problem but i say this vehicle is unsafe! if there isnt a recall already issued, there certainly needs to be one.

At approx. 34,000 miles - while driving the engine would shut off (no power steering/no power brakes), horn would sound constantly, instrument panel would turn off, windshield wipers would turn on and sometimes the brakes would partially activate. It took 3 trips to dealer to resolve the problem.the dealer replaced the ignition keys we had and this seemed to resolve the problem.35,000 miles -same symptoms as above.the only way to re-start the vehicle was to dis-connect the battery.after reconnecting the battery and restarting the engine the vehicle would operate properly for approximately 20 miles, then we had to repeat the process.**important to note** the dealer stated they could not resolve the issue unless they could get the vehicle to repeat the problem. They reportedly could not get the vehicle to repeat the problem. They did not consider customer report of the problem to be sufficient.

Recall l25/ nhtsa 14v-373 was published on 10/10/14 and i got noticed by mail. On oct 27 i tried to make a service appointment to have the problem fixed but was told that no parts were available and that i would be notified (both my dealership and the chrysler group recall assistance center claimed this). I have had no follow up from chrysler or its dealership. I followed up today again and was told that no parts were available. I believe that this is unacceptable and herewith want to file an official complaint about the slow handling of this recall. How can i use this car during our upcoming christmas trip of more than a 1000 miles with an urgent and important safety recall not being fixed. I believe the way how this is handled by chrysler and the oem manufacturer responsible for the fobik is gross negligent! both should be fined severely for their lack of timely response!

The vehicle was running in the highway.check engine light goes on an the all panel lights began to flash make like a whisle noise and shut off.after a while it starts again but in about 2,000 meters do the same four times.we need to call a truck crane.i have read a lot of person with this issue, spent a lot of money replacing various pieces and remain with the same problem.
Just replaced my battery from aaa and was told everything else is good just my battery is completely drained and this morning i could not start my car at all then later it started but i got stuck at work now and it wont start at all not even a jump will help. Also while driving it goes crazy from time to time and the speedometer shoots up soo high that i get scared and have to hold on tight to the steering wheel. My ac works when it wants too and in jan i was told my van's back calipers are shot. I was driving for a year with no back calipers meanwhile the front one got stuck and turned bright red and i had to get that one replaced last year. Its just one problem after another. I feel like im constantly replacing something.
Van is under the new expanded ignition switch recall. Ignition switch is getting looser and looser. Part is on backorder supposedly, have done as the dealer and chrysler recommend and removed everything off my key ring. Still getting loose. If this thing breaks down again for the 3rd time this year i don't know what i'll do. From what i understand it's a fatal issue as well, vehicle is non functional once ignition switch falls out.

The electrical system on this van is possessed. The horn will go off on it's own. The wipers will start going back and forth. Sometimes the doors won't unlock. The sliding door has closed on my son. The transmission won't go out of first gear. I've taken it to mechanics and they look at me like i'm crazy. I've read about multiple owners having this same problem and how frustrated they are when trying to get it fixed.these problems happen at any time regardless of whether the vehicle is driving or if it is stationary. Chrysler needs to recall these vehicles and issue a full reimbursement. They're not safe!

My 2008 chrysler town and country sporadically acts up.the wipers go nuts, the washer fluid empties, the horn goes off, and the last time the car shut down, and i had no power steering and no brakes.i had my 2 children in the car and it was very scary.thankfully i was able to get off the road and bump into the curb to stop.if i were on a highway or busy road it would have ended in an accident and could kill my family or someone else.the service dept thought they fixed it by reflashing some modules but it happened a few more times after that and now they say they can't replicate the problem again so they want me to take the car until it happens again.i think that is poor service for a problem that is definitely a safety issue and can cause a death.this issue is not new as i have read about it online i am just trying to find someone who has had it fixed so i can tell the service dept. What they need to do and i can drive my car safely with my family.this should be an issue chrysler needs to address!

This is the same issue that a lot of other people are having with the windshield wipers and fluid spraying and going off, horn honking and locks going all crazy.about a year ago this happened and i took my car in and was told it was the clock spring, then a week later same thing happened- happened first while i was driving and it went crazy, then also when i use the key faub to unlock the car it acted up.the second time i took it in they told me my battery was bad, but if i had it in a week before that why is that bad now when they should have noticed then?so put in around $700 to fix this issue.now yesterday, exactly a year later, same thing happened.driving on my way to work, it did it for about 5 minutes, i pulled over and shut my car off and restarted it.then when i left work i pushed my unlock on my key faub and did it for a minute or so, then when i got home and went down to my car to leave last night, used key faub and it started going again, but this time would not stop so the battery is disconnected.i try to hook the battery up and it continues on still.this is dangerous for someone to drive and should be recalled immediately, also, my car would not shift and my abs light and traction control light turned on this time, and last year it did not.my car is possessed!! i commute to work and this is a very dangerous issue and these cars need to be recalled asap!

Was driving and the following electrical items starting on their own:door locks ' lock and unlock repeatedlywindshield wipers ' highest setting non-stopwindshield wiper fluid (used all the fluid)lights ' flashing on and offhorn ' repeatedly going on and offstopped car in road and turned off car and took out the key and still the issue continued for 20 minutes until we were able to disconnect the cable to the battery at which time it all stopped. Thinking that maybe this would reset it all we tried to put the cable back on the battery and it all started again. Because we had to move it out of the road and could not get the car into neutral to push it, we started the car again and all the same issues continued as above.after driving about 100 feet to put the car in a driveway, it all stopped except a warning light for traction control. After 100 feet more, all lights were gone and the car seemed normal.drove the car home and had no issues.look to see if there were any trouble codes (have a code reader) and no codes are presentlooking internet, i found literally thousands of similar complaints and issues with this car and other dodge (durango for example, caravan) and jeep (cherokee for example).almost all of them said that issue was tipm defective.

Next incident vehicle was in motion at approximately 40 mph when same thing happened, vehicle stalled and power assist and brakes were not working.blaring horn and wiper activity incontrollable has happened several times.now afraid to drive on highway.dealer states incident must be occurring at the time it is brought in for them to assess and fix.this is a clear safety hazard.a quick review of owner complaints on the internet shows this is a common problem.how can this not be a recall event?does a fatality need to occur first?i am not willing to risk my family.

Initially when i turned the vehicle on the entire instrument panel lit up and i had no gauges, nor could i open my windows or unlock my doors.i disconnected the battery and reconnected it and all the lights went off.a couple of weeks later, on june 1st, june 2nd and again on june 3rd, the instrument panel began lighting up, the wipers went on, the gauge turned off and the windows and doors would not work. This happened continuously the entire time i was driving the car.on june 2nd i again disconnected the battery in the hopes of resetting the computer and it seem to work again until june 3rd when it did it again.this time i was on the road with only my son and was not able to do anything.i hoped that it would stop on its own and it did.i has not happened today, yet.i contacted the dealer and have an appointment set for tomorrow.i am afraid to drive this vehicle, especially with my children in it, since this happens so randomly and from what i am reading it is happening to alot of other consumers, and some are complaining that the car totally shuts down and they have no power.this is a real safety concern!!!

My 2008 chrysler town & country loses power when starting car but also when driving in normal roadway conditions.no other keys are on the key ring.i have had it at the dealer 3 times for loss of power issues. First time the wen module was replaced when car would lose power while driving and had trouble re-starting.repair seemed to help for about two months but then car lost power but would restart once car came to a stop.first time at dealer was told car would not cooperate and they could not get the car to stop when they drove it and no error code.i specifically asked about the ignition and was told it was definitely not the ignition.was told to bring it back if it happened again - it had happened everyday the previous week including 3 times in one day.took the car back and was told they found the problem and repaired but lost power on way home.will be trying a different dealer in the next couple days but car lost power again today.fortunately, no accident yet but am extremely careful when driving and am limiting my driving to essential short trips.the car makes a click when loss of power and key is no longer in "on" position. Seems to me like the ignition. I told the dealer what it does.

The vehicle was parked at the time of the incident, with doors unlocked. The vehicle suddenly locked the doors, began sounding the horn, front/back windshield wipers turned on, and lights began flashing. I initially believed the alarm system was going off, but the vehicle would not unlock with the use of the key. After about five minutes, it appeared that power was failing and the vehicle began leaking out all of the windshield wiper fluid in front/back. Soon after, the power seemed to die, but the front end of the vehicle (under the battery) continued to make a clicking noise. The vehicle will not power on with the use of the key, and the car had to be manually unlocked on the drivers side. When researching similar symptoms on the internet, it was found that this is a manufacturer defect and could have occurred while driving, with the loss of steering control and brakes.
I am a victim of these electrical issues with the 2008 t&c like hundreds of others.driving the car lights will flash on and off, wipers will come on and some times the car stops running.here is another complaint from another owner, same symptoms, and we're not alone.somebody is going to get killed.recall!?complaint - electrical system, exterior lighting, visibility wiperthe following has been happening for over a week now. When starting my vehicle, the wipers independently turned on, the headlights flashed every time the wipers where deployed independently. The wiper and light on/off was checked. Turned off and on, and still both items flashed, and swiped by themselves. January 29th, operator was driving 25 mph, all dash lights blinked, including but not limited to, esp, brake, engine,and airbag lights, airbag light remained on, wipers deployed and rpm gauge reduced to 0 for 5 seconds. Pulled over turned ignition off, opened door, shut door restarted vehicle. The above repeated itself, with more errors, now the driver window controls did no longer work. This happened repeatedly for 5 full minutes before resuming normal operation.it seems it could be related to a wiring harness issue, or leaking door seals letting the wires get wet and short out.we need help.

I am a 29 year old male.i am severely disabled (quadriplegic).i drive a modified 2008 chrysler t&c van with special steering and brake controls and a wheel chair lift.i have owned and driven my van 3 years.it has been extremely well maintained.it must be a safe and reliable vehicle because of my special needs and physical limitations.it is the only vehicle on the planet that i can drive.about a month ago, i took my van into chris myers chrysler, daphne, al, where they replaced my ignition switch and key fob per safety recall #14v373000.on fri july 15, 2016, i went to drive my van to the grocery store.i pressed the door open button on my newly provided key fob and the van immediately went berserk.just about every electrically powered device on the van exploded into operation - all at the same instance - wiper blades on ultra high speed, rear window washer spewing fluid, horn blasting, fan motors roaring - and on and on!confined to my wheelchair, there was nothing i could do to stop the craziness from the van.all the neighbors in my apartment complex were now out in the parking lot witnessing all the outrageous things the van was doing.i eventually had to get the hood open and disconnected the battery to put a stop to the vehicle self destructing.with a friends help (a friend with some vehicle mechanic expertise), we checked all fuses - all were okay.we were not able to start the van - the van was completely "dead"!my friend manages an auto parts store in gulf shores, al, and knows the service manager at gulf chrysler, foley, al.as soon as my friend described the situation, the foley service manager asked if the recall had been accomplished and said it was related to the recall.the next morning, my towing service towed my van to nearby chris myers chrysler.their service manager has presented me a $1k bill to replace a module.
When i try to open the sliding door, it started freaking out. Lights flashing, wipers on, washer fluid dispersing, horn blowing etc.i thought i accidentally pressed the panic button. I pressed the other buttons in the remote and it stopped after a while. It happened again while driving in a highway and stopped after a while. Took it to the dealer and they are saying that they can't find any fault codes in their diagnosis. Call chrysler and asked them whether this a manufacturer error or recall. They are not helpful. Checked the internet and many people complained about the same about chrysler vehicles. Dealer mechanic says it might be issue with total integrated power module. This is their best guess and not sure whether it's going to fix the issue. Their estimate is $1000 to fix it. I don't want to spend $1000 where the dealer is not even sure it's going to fix the issue.i'm wondering about why chrysler is not taking responsibility of this issue and make a recallsincei do see may complaints about the same issue with multiple chrysler vehicles.

1. Safety defect in the wireless ignition module (ignition) in 2008 town & country (touring model).vehicle will run but most electrical components will not work, including turn signals, windows, remote mirrors, lights, horn seat, door locks, window locks, clock, ac radio and wipers. The result of the defect includes inability to safely operate the vehicle once in motion.driver is not necessarily aware of the problem until they go to use the horn, lights, or turn signal. Chrysler denied the existence of the problem until i made them come to my home during an episode.2. Defective fuel pump.vehicle idles extremely high and the entire vehicle vibrates violently.chrysler replaced the fuel pump yet the safety defect continues.chrysler denied rearing or feeling the vibration until a chrysler factory rep was called to thomasville in response to a state of georgia office of consumer affairs lemon law claim. Chrysler replace the pump yet the safety defect continues.3.severe grinding/scraping noise coming from the rear tenter of the vehicle.to-date, chrysler denies the noise and has not repaired the problem.i fee the issue os one of a possible fire hazard due to its proximity to the fuel system and unknown defect in the fuel pump.
After having the win module replaced due to recall the vehicle intermittently started having an issue. While driving we would loose power all gauges (rpm,mpg,fuel), start flashing all the dash lights, chiming, wipers would engage, and headlights start flashing. (all at the same time) this would randomly happen at all times day or night, in all types of weather (cold, warm, wet, dry) and at various speeds and various driving terrains(both city streets and highways). After driving at night and having headlights flashing off and on while everything lighting up and turning on and off (extremely dangerous) we left at dealership for over a week and also showed them a video that we took of the car going haywire. They however, could not diagnose problem. They said all they knew was that when this happens the vehicle is actually trying to shut itself off and that the computer was resetting itself to avoid the engine turning off. They could not tell us why this was happening or how to fix this.

The first problem we noticed with the van was the brakes. They wear out way to quickly. In the 5 years we have had the van we have replaced the brakes 6 times and rotors 2 times.the next problem was what seems to be a well documented leak of the coolant on to the engine causing smelly smoke. We were forced to by the part from the dealer as it was not available anywhere else and paid over 100.00 for it. Thankfully my husband was able to replace it. Now at 80000 miles the key and ignition has been having issues. It started with not being able to remove the key fob. The engine will cut off but it will only go into accessory. If left overnight or for sometime it will kill the battery.it started occasionally and has progressed to almost every time you cut the engine off you cannot remove the key fob. It will release but it is after sometime sitting in park. It is very frustrating having to leave your key in the ignition andbe forced to leave it sitting in a random parking lot and just hope that when you return the battery is not dead. I have researched this issue and it is very common among this van and other chrysler vehicles.at this point i am so fed up with it if someone decided to steal it because they saw the key in it i would just wish them good luck. I will never own another chrysler !seems like there has to be a fire injury or fatality for them to do anything to satisfy all the unhappy customers they have.

2008 model year chrysler town & country, approximately 138500 miles. Two separate incidents so far, one day apart. The first incident occurred while stopped at a stop light on july 18, 2015. The vehicle tried to lurch forward (foot firmly on brake pedal, no pressure on gas pedal) and the horn blared intermittently with no user input. The second incident occurred stopped in a parking lot on july 19, 2015. As the driver was exiting the vehicle, the horn began to fire in rapid, short bursts with no pressure on the steering wheel. The wipers activated, and the wiper fluid nozzles began spraying fluid. The air conditioning system also remained on with the key fully removed shortly before the incident, which is not intended behavior nor is it a feature of the vehicle in question. These problems are symptoms of tipm failure, and relate to the current nhtsa action number dp14004.i no longer feel safe driving my own car. I can't guarantee it will sit still in a parking lot, even without the key in the ignition.

We have had our van for seven years (bought new) and have always done regular maintenance on it. While driving down the highway with three of our children, the horn started blaring, wipers turned on, fluid started spraying all over the windows. We pulled off the highway as soon as possible and shut the van off. Everything continued! we popped the hood and heard a slight ticking coming from the "fuse box". We gave it a light tap and it finally stopped. We were able to get it home. The problems continued off and on for months with no one able to help and got worse since the locks started going up and down, dash lights start flashing, front and rear lights flash, and the car does not always shift gears. It even does some of these things while turned off. We took the fuse out of the horn but know it is still happening because sometimes in the morning the wipers are up from randomly turning on and off by themselves during the night. We took it to a transmission specialist to have to transmission rebuilt (twice) and the converter replaced. Everything else is still happening and no one has been able to diagnose the problem, especially since it doesn't always do it. Luckily i found this information on my own. I can't believe this is such a wipe spread problem and chrysler has done nothing about it!! with a large family, we cant afford to keep putting money into something that was obviously built faulty.

My chrysler town and country had performed the recall on the ignition switch however my van still shuts down while driving. At first it started upon morning when first starting out the day, but now it shuts off even after 45 minutes of driving the vehicle causing me to loose control of the steering and having to be cautious so that i wont be rear ended or worse.i have taking it in to be diagnosed but the technicians after having the van hooked up to their diagnostic machine are still unable to see anything wrong. No error codes are showing. Also now, while parked and the engine off with no keys... My doors will just open by themselves or automatically lock. It did it yesterday morning however my car was running, the van locked sounding my alarm that sounded as if i had pressed the key to lock.i hope that someone can call or email me to give an explanation what could be the problem as well as how i can resolve this problem,

Vehicle information: 2008 chrysler town and country limited minivan, owned since june, 2008.other than the chief complaint described below, this has been the best vehicle we have ever owned so far.however, ...the key fob for this vehicle can lead to serious safety and security issues.all the buttons on the fob are raised, making them too easily pushed.several times per month, while in the kitchen or bathroom with the fob in my pocket, i have leaned against a counter only to have the vehicles' engine start while in the garage.sometimes this has even happened when simply squatting down to pick something up.the same thing has happened when my wife has rummaged through her purse looking for something other than the fob.at other times when the fob is inadvertently bumped, 1 or more of the 3 automatic doors will open without us knowing it and stay open all night, or perhaps just the driver's door may be unknowingly unlocked all night long.the first of these is a safety issue because it could lead to carbon monoxide poisoning from having the vehicle running in the closed attached garage.the second of these is a security and safety issue.if we are away from home where the vehicle happens to be parked outside and this happens, it leaves our vehicle totally open to theft and vandalism, or poses a safety hazard for small children who may enter and operate the opened doors.the fobs for other vehicles we own (or are familiar with) have recessed buttons, making them much less likely to be accidentally pushed.chrysler needs to redesign the fob for this vehicle to recess the buttons and/or reprogram them such that it takes a specific sequence of multiple button presses to activate the function.or perhaps a mechanical slide switch could be added to disable the fob buttons while in one's pocket or purse.in any case, a redesign and recall is vital to mitigate these safety and security issues.
We have had nothing but problems since we bought this vehicle in september 2007. First, the doors reopen by themselves - that took 8 trips to the service department before it was finally fixed in may 2008. Another issue that has not been resolved is that the starter sticks when you start the vehicle. This is an occasional problem and difficult for the service department to duplicate. Yesterday, june 8, the van completely lost power while i was driving. I lost all power steering, brakes, lights - everything! i have taken it to the dealer and they can't figure it out and daimlerchrysler has not been any help. In fact, when i called to inquire about a repurchase of the vehicle - i asked 4 times to speak to a supervisor and then the agent hung up on me when i insisted that i speak with a supervisor! i'm extremely worried about the safety of this vehicle. I will not allow my children to ride in this vehicle again.

My 2008 chrysler town and country, which i used to love, just stopped working last night.drove it around all day and it was fine.went in to work, and when i came out that night to go home, the lights were all working, and the power doors and windows worked.however, the radio stopped working, the power windows no longer work, and the car will not start.it will not try to turn over.you can turn the key and nothing happens.the starter does not click, the motor doesn't do anything at all.we replaced the ignition/accessory fuse because ours had blown, and it still did not resolve the issue.since we can't put it in gear due to the security lockout, we have been unsuccessful in towing it to a repair shop.this is a major issue considering it is the only vehicle my family has, and now we have no way to get our kids to the doctor or to school.
Key will not release from ignition cannot turn the car completely off, have to wait minutes to sometimes hours for key to be released to turn key to off position and take key out.have had my battery die a few times because of this issue.

Beginning in 2010, both rear sliding doors began malfunctioning. When opened either with the remote or inside button, they begin to open and when most of the way open, close on its own. It started out doing it infrequently, about once every 50 times the door was opened. Over the last year it has become more frequent, doing it about once every few days or so. Once in 2010, my 3 year old daughter was getting out and the door malfunctioned and caught her in between, causing a bruise on her face. For some reason the door did not "bounce back" when it made contact with her, but thankfully i was standing there and was able to manually force the door back open.this year, the door again malfunctioned and almost caught my 8 yr old, but he managed to get out of the way. I have taken it to the dealer twice for this and both times they told me it is functioning fine.the first time i picked it up from the dealer i tested the door.i opened and shut it about 15 times and it malfunctioned. I went inside to get the repair tech to show him and when it didn't happen again he told me there was nothing he could do. When i brought the van in again to have them look at it the second time, they again told me it was functioning fine and that since my van needed a new battery that they thought the battery was the problem. The door did it again that night and again after that three days later. I contacted them twice about it again, asking them if i video taped it if they would believe me and figure out what was wrong. They told me it wouldn't matter and that they would need to keep it until they saw it. They had my van this last time for 5 days! i had to pay $217 for a rental because they didn't find anything. This is dangerous! i have four children getting in and out everyday. I don't have the money for rentals for an unspecified amount of time, but this is dangerous and needs to get fixed!

I took my car in for a recall on an ignition win module recall. The car was given back to me with several electrical issues and is now very unsafe to drive. Dealer replaced the part 4x now says its my issue!! my car was working properly when it was given to the dealer and was not returned to me in the same condition. The dealer experienced and witnessed this issue and says they cant find anything wrong with it.the only way they will help me is if i pay. My car will randomly light up the dash like i just turned it on, wipers go on by themselves, i have no dials on the dash they all bottom out to zero so i have no idea how fast im going, my turn signals and head lights go on and off, even in the dark! my car doesnt register in park so my doors wont open. After i take the key out it will light up as if key is in it and its not. Not safe for driving but i have no other options at this point! attached is a link to show a video of just a small bit of the issues with my van since part replacement.

I have a 2008 town and country touring. This incident has happened twice. While driving the vehicle there was a loud click then all electronics flash and the vehicle shuts off. The steering, brakes everything locks up but the car continues to move. Luckily both time this has happened we where in a neighborhood, driving slow and no one was hurt. I have had this into the dealership twice, but they can never diagnose or replicate it. Both times the dealership has guessed at what it could be, but obviously the first time they were not correct. Since the dealership can not diagnose it, my concern is that the next time it happens someone could get hurt. I have read multiple sites that this issue has occurred to countless other, but no recall. Now, reading about the issues that gm is going through it sounds exactly the same, but chrysler is not doing anything about it.
Continuation of 02/01/2016 report:with the initial ignition, this car's engine just stopped and lost all power while leaving our driveway, back in 2010. The ignition was replaced sept. 2014 under a recall notice. We had no further problems at that time. The ignition was replace again in sept. 2015 due to another recall notice. On jan. 15, 2016, while driving 40 mph on a local road, the engine shut down and we lost all power. Took car to chrysler dealer. They could not identify problem, but said a technical report suggested replacing the pcm, which was done on 01/18/2016. On 02/01/2016, the engine shut down and lost all power, after traveling approx. 400 ft.today, 2/17/2016, my wife was driving on the dallas north tollway, at approx. 50 mph, during rush hour, and the engine just shut down.luckily she was able to pull over to the shoulder without incident, put the car in park, and restart the engine.if this is an ongoing problem with chrysler, someone is going to get killed in an auto accident as a result of this problemsomething needs to be done quickly.
The first incident that i could remember took place on april 1, 2014.arrived home, put the van in park, and could not remove the key fob from the ignition.the last incident happened on august 21, 2014 when i arrived at an eye appointment for my daughter and couldn't remove the key fob. The key fob would stop at a 45 degree angle and it took 7 minutes for me to remove the key fob. Between the 1st incident and the last incident, there have been at least 8 times in between where i cannot fully turn off the vehicle because the key fob stops at a 45 degree angle and can't be removed.if this is part of recall l25, then my vehicle needs to be added to the recall and fixed for free.this should not be happening!! tried to bring it to a dealership and they wanted to charge me to fix it.even if this is not due to a recall, this is a manufacture defect and should be corrected for free.

I am sending this to inform you of a failure to repair a recall ro3/nhtsa 14v-373 by our local dealer.we initially got the recall l25/nhtsa 14v-373 in 2014.this one was never done either. L25 was superseded by ro3.i have contacted the dealer on 10-2-14 and 3-10-15 about l25.since then, i have called on 6-23-15, 6-6-16, and on 6-29-16 about ro3.each time i have been stalled, with them saying the parts are on backorder.it just seems to me that this dealer has no intention of making the repairs.the dealer here in canton, ga. Is shottenkirk cherokee chrysler, phone no. 678-493-1000.thank you,[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
My driver's side low beam led light will come on when the car is cranked but begins to flicker and will cut completely off within 5 minutes of cranking the van.it will sometimes come back on and go off again.replacing the bulb is not correcting the problem.

When driving in a parking lot of a grocery store, my van's cluster board started going haywire, illuminating all warning lights, turning wiper blades on without them being on, opening windows. Turned van off and waited a few minutes and everything was back to normal. Next day it did it again when driving down the road at 55 mph.took it to the mechanic and it did it for him. He believes it has to do with the wiring in sliding door, which does have a recall but not for my particular van. If my 2008 town and country could also catch fire at the wiring harness, it needs to be included in the recall. Either way, it is extremely unsafe to be driving at 55 mph and have everything start to go haywire in your car. I'm afraid to drive it. This problem absolutely needs to be looked into and at the least, give the consumers a reason for it and a repair solution that doesn't cost them thousands of dollars to try and troubleshoot.

While driving the vehicle the temperature, miles to the gallon, direction the car is facing goes dark. Then the warning lights, gas gauge, tachometer, speed flash on & off and the vehicle will try to stall or turn off. While the warning lights are flashing the vehicle feels like it is cutting out and will die out. I have several videos of it happening.
While driving down the interstate at speed the warning indicator sounded and all the gauges zeroed out and the van temporarily lost power this has happened on three occasions it only last a second and the van seems normal afterwards.not sure if its a computer glitch or something else.

I have been waiting to be notified that the frequency operated button ignition key has come in. Today when i went to start the van it seems that it wants to start but hesitatesi tried several times but it kept doing the same thing. I cleaned the air filter, checked the hoses and battery but found nothing wrong. When i called the dealer they said they would call me back. I then called the chrysler recall 800 number and was informed that the part was still not available. I asked if there was a solution and the gentleman said it could be from 1-3 months before the part was available. This is my only means of transportation and he stated if i changed the ignition module i would not be reimbursed, i have already replaced the fuel pump in the tank at 50,000 miles the sway bar on the right was replaced and i still need to replace the left one. I usually travel with my grandchildren and it has been one issue or another since i bought it. The brakes and rotors have also been replaced because itwould be slow in braking causing a dangerous situation.

There is a defective ignition system.originally fine, then a recall put in a defective system 4 years ago. Received another recall notice about 1 year ago on the ignition.called the dealer, they said they did not have parts yet but would call when they did.no call ever.then got another recall, r03/nhtsa14v-373.went to luther chrysler who said no recall parts yet but maybe before august.this problem has been going on for years and the manufacturer has never responded professionally to the issue. On a second issue, i have defective brakes.made numerous complaints to chrysler and logged a complaint with you.no response and no cure.finally worked with midas to understand the problem and finally found the flaw.defective mounting surface for the brake roter. Can only resurface the brakes "on the car".brakes now work fine but it was not because of chrysler.
I purchased my 2008 t/c van in 2010 from eastgate chrysler jeep in indianapolis, in.the van had less than $30k miles. From the time i purchased it, i have had problems with the van 'turning itself off' while i am driving. I have reported this to the dealership more than once and since they cannot duplicate the problem or find anything on the computer they can't fix it.i do a lot of highway driving and it has happened while i am going 60 mph.it has even done it while going 30 mpr.there is never a warning. You just realize the car is slowing down with your foot on the accelerator, the radio turns off, and everything else electrical stops. It may do this twice a month or twice a week.i have had this happen twice in 1 day.the dealership did replace the key, but that did not help.i've had 1 instance where the van continued to run, but i had no power to the wipers, windows, radio, air conditioning/heater or lights.i drove straight to the dealership and showed them nothing was working.it was only until i touched my keys that everything came on.i didn't turn the key'i only touched the key chain.the man at chrysler saw this happen and was just as confused as i was. I have posted this problem on a website called www.edmunds.com looking for other people with similar problems.i have received several emails from people having the same issue with their t/c vans.the problem is not limited to just the 2008 models.this is definitely a safety issue.please look into this as i don't feel safe while i drive this van.
After 6 weeks of owning the vehicle i noticed that the sliding doors were not operating correctly.they would open or close on their own.it started off being only once or twice a month to now an almost everyday occurrence.i have taken it back to the dealership and they sent it to another dealership and i am being told "they can't get it to duplicate" well al i can say is what is it going to take for them to fix the problem, a child getting badly hurt or killed.the final straw for me was just last week when the door closed on my 10 yr. Olds leg and i had to put my whole body in the door to get it to stop.it bruise my back and cut my sons leg.i am currently trying to get rid of the van before it does major damage to one of my kids,but i feel like i should at least get the money back i have put into it since now i am going to have to come up more money to get a new car and pay sales tax all over again. Not to mention the fact that all you have to do is google "problems with chrysler vans sliding doors" and there are hundreds of people out there having the same problem.why won't you guys do anything to help us, or is this another one of those times when a tragedy like the death of a child has to happen to make you wake up and take action. I even contacted chrysler and told me that they didn't have any record of people complaining about the sliding door issues i was having.i told that lady she was full of crap because you can go online and see hundreds of stories of people having the same problems.

While waiting on my husband to run in a store i was sitting in the van engine running. I touched nothing and the van went off. The doors locked, wipers , cleaning fluid, horn and it was scary. My husband released the hood and disconnected the battery cable. We could not start van without all going off again. We called a tow and van taken to auto repair shop. They checked it out and said it needed a new safety electronic component. They said van was to dangerous to drive, and it would take 3 months for the part. It is now in our garage with battery disconnected. This is our only way of transportation and what are we to do now? how are we to get to appointments, grocery and whatever?

With the car sitting in the garage the key was placed in the vehicle and showed no signs of starting.after several attempts to start the vehicle with no success the alarm activated with the lights flashing and the horn blaring. In order to shut off the alarm i had to disconnect the battery.the vehicle was then towed to the nearest chrysler dealership where upon inspection was told that the win module would need to be replaced.after 12 days i was finally informed that the part is on backorder and that they could not tell me when it would be available.i then contaced chryster customer service where i was given a case number and was informed that my case would be sent to the special parts division because this division can sometimes find parts faster than the dealership.i have been unable to get a loaner car from the dealership and chrysler would not help me find a replacement car.there seems to be no end insight to this ordeal.

The tipm is a cause of the vehicle horn honking, wipers moving on their own, wiper fluid spraying, and the lights flashing by themselves. I have had the vehicle randomly stall by itself on the highway while my wife was driving it and this has happened several times. These issues seem to mysteriously go away when i try to diagnose the issue. Last week the battery died and because of it being a few years old and now being in the winter, i decided to replace it only to have it die again a day later. Took the vehicle to a mechanic who tested the charging system and said it was all good. Then proceeded to do a parasitic draw test where he determined that the tipm was causing the issues. I did some google searches and found that this is a wide stream problem with many owners of various chrysler vehicles having the same issue. This is not safe especially when the vehicle shuts down while driving it and there are no power brakes or steering capabilities. A person could end up in a terrible accident or even be killed not to mention other drivers being at risk also. Doesn't seem to make much sense that chrysler is dragging this on and not doing anything not to mention that i can't even order the part because it's on a national back order. This has happened several times in the last year and a few times last year but the tech was unable to correctly diagnose the issue.

Driving my 2 small children to school and myself to work, i turned right onto a main roadway and the dash went dead, no speedometer, nogas gauge, no read outs, nothing, then about 5 seconds later the dash flashed back on and front wipers went on. This happened several more times between home, school, and work (35 miles one way). As i was leaving work, the dash went dead and stayed dead for up to a full minute several times between work, school, and dealership, before flashing back on and the wipers coming on. Limped to the dealership with my 2 small children in tow. They had to keep my van overnight in order to trace the electrical issue. Diagnostic was run, issue traced to a body harness in the 3rd row seat where a clip had broken off causing the entire system to shut down whenever driving over bumps (even small ones) or rough parking lots and roads. Chrysler was notified, problem documented, dealership was awesome but chrysler refused to fix. $2200 to fix that i don't have, vehicle not repaired as it requires so much expense and at least 10 days to repair. That's 10+ days i can't afford to take off work. We will never buy another chrysler product after 16 years of brand loyalty. Dealership tech has applied a temporary fix so the bus doesn't shut down and cause more issues, like total vehicle shut down. Will provide vin if contacted directly.

I had a recall for the ignition key fixed by chrysler/ dodge and when i got it back i had fuzes popping and the sliding doors quit working, check engine light was on for 15 different electrical codes including ones for the dvd player.

My wife was driving out of our subdivision and stopped at the stop sign exiting our subdivision. All of the instrument cluster warning lights came on and the engine stopped. She turned the key (fobik) to the off position and then re-started the vehicle and promptly drove home and parked the vehicle and took our other vehicle to complete her errand. I talked to the chrysler dealership and chrysler customer service, and they said they have no parts for recall l25 (ignition switch). We received our notification last fall for the l25 ignition switch recall, now it is march of 2015 going into the 8th month after this recall was made official, and we still are waiting for a safe resolution. Now we view the operation of this vehicle as a safety liability.

2008 chrysler town and country limited minivan looses power shortly after take off. This generally occurs within 30 seconds of take off at <5 mph but has occurred at up to 15 mph once or twice. Warming up engine does not always seem to eliminate problem. Drive vehicle every day but power loss occurs randomly - meaning not set days such as every other day or once a week. Could occur more or less. Traction control light comes on. Almost complete loss of steering and breaking ability. Tachometer goes to 0. Can't rev engine but heater and radio remain on. Once car is turned off and key removed, then turned back on, problem goes away.car also feels like it's running out of gas or is going to stall after take off at different times during the day. Often when i leave work for lunch or leave to return home. Car has yet to shut off completely in this situation. Occurs mostly between 20-40 mph but not exclusively. Remains between 1-5 minutes and then works normally again. Took it for inspection the week of march 17. Couldn't duplicate problem. Computer lights not on though abs sensor was found through diagnosis. Sensor was cleared. Drove again this week and car stalled yesterday, with "running out of gas" issue around noon and around 4:30 p.m. Relayed information back to mechanic. Currently keeping a running log before taking it back to mechanic for further diagnosis.

My 2008 town and country limited has been displaying intermittent power failure. Some symptoms experienced were uncontrollable wipers, loss window controls, turn signal failure, instrument cluster flashing as if it were stuck in a constant reset with chime and flashing on headlights.had taken to dealership for repair only to have technician unplug driver side sliding door module due to unavailable parts.they said that they could only watch the network to see if each module could be unplugged to isolate the issue.this only temporarily stop the issue, and came back in 2 weeks. Fast forward to present status. I have lost a/c, yet the blower works, no electrical accessories. I had to disconnect the battery now due to power glitch even when keys are out.i can not find the problem and i am in complete electrical failure on the can bus side.internet suggests that the tipm may be a fault but itmay be internal and because there is no external solution, i am stuck with a disabled vehicle because the cost involved in discovering the fault.

1.there are times when right after shutting the vehicle off and coming back to the car several minutes later, it will not start. The key turns but there is no power. I have replaced altenator, and battery and starter. The problem appears to be in the ignition. 2. I have replaced the front wheel bearings at 80,000miles ,also in the 3 years of owning this vehicle i have had to replace front brakesand rotors 2 times and rear brakes once. 3. Oil seems to "disappear" usually 2 quarts in a matter of 1000 or less miles. This vehicle is the most unsafe vehicle i have ever bought. I bought this vehicle on the word of chrysler that it is a safe and trustworthy van. I have been stranded more times than i choose to count, in parking lots and what not miles away from home, with my 3 small children. It is absolutely [xxx] that i have to have a "survival pack" food and water and strollers and things of that nature in my vehicle at all times in case we get stranded somewhere. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
My van has a recall it is r03.. To replace the win module . I am on a waiting list which the dealership scranton dodge is telling is very long .

I shouldnt have to feel this van is unsafe for my wife and kids to ride in , and why should i feel they are at risk every time they go into the van to go someplace.

Upon purchase of the vehicle (feb 2015), we received a safety recall notice on the ignition switch (r03/nhtsa 14v-373). Went to dealership (dick meyers chrysler/dodge in harrisonburg va) in may 2015 and was told that we were "on a list" and would be notified. Never heard from them. Did a follow up on jan 28, 2016 and was told the same thing - "on a list" due to backordered parts.this delay seems ridiculous and obvious to us that chrysler doesn't want to swallow the cost and hoping people will just give up.
When starting the vehicle sometimes the ignition switch becomes engaged and does not release automatically back to the on position. This causes the engine to continually rev and not complete engine start up.

Chrysler issued recall r03 involving the wireless ignition node module.this recall was issued approximately 8 months ago.despite repeated phone calls to many local dealers and the chrysler hotline, chrysler has not made the parts available to the dealers so that the safety defect can be fixed. This is an ongoing safety concern which chrysler has been aware of for years, however this corporation refuses to spend the time and resources to make the appropriate parts available to cure the problem.per my most recent phone call to chrysler, the part is still on back order and they are unable to provide any sort of timeline as to when this will become available.what use is a recall, if chrysler refuses to work in good faith towards fixing the problem? please help is pressuring chrysler to take the appropriate actions to make the parts available to the dealers can provide the necessary service. Thank you.

The horn started honking in the same manner, wipers/washers started running, and dash gauges malfunctioned.in both instances the only way to shut it all off was to disconnect the battery for a few days.there have been a few occasions when the horn randomly starts honking in the same manner but stops after just a few seconds.

My headlights go off and on.each morning the flash on and off about 3 times and then go off.i replaced the switch on the dash and the switch on the steering wheel column that is the dimmer switch for lights and wipers switch.i replaced each suggested thing except the tipm which is estimated over $800.
Engine won't turn over.just clicks
I received a recall notice from chrysler last fall.the nhtsa website dated the recall 6/16/11 and then it was expanded 6/26/14 to include my vehicle with letters being sent to owners 9/11/14.as of today, the problem has not been fixed by chrysler.i have called them twice and been on hold for over 30 minutes each time and not spoken to anyone!chrysler has definitely failed to remedy this in a reasonable amount of time.i had an incident yesterday in which my fobik moved to the accessory mode and the engine shut off while i was traveling 67 mph and in moderate traffic.this was very dangerous and gave me quite a scare.i am grateful my three children were not with me. I have followed chrysler's precautions to ensure my safety, but the incident happened anyway.chrysler needs to get the defect fixed immediately and in the future maintain better contact with vehicle owners about the status of recalls.
Driving up slight incline in parking lot when car switched off completely. Luckily was not on a road so had the ability to remove key, place in again and start again. Checked on line for issues, called dealer, told there is a 'hold' on the recall for this. Not sure what to do.
For the past several months the car will not start and takes several tries to successfully start the car. It hesitates at around 35 mph and tries to stall.i have been waiting for chrysler to follow up with a second (l-25) recall notice. Yesterday, 12/14/14 while going around a round-about it died completely and i lost power steering, and all power to the car.i was able to restart the car and return it home.this is my main form of transportation, used to take the kids to school and activities. I was told by the dealer today they have been advised not to touch it by chrysler and told to contact chrysler. The representative at chrysler said i needed to take it up with the dealer as it is not a matter of having a part, but thatchrysler does not have a solution. This is very concerning, as it poses a serious safety to concern to me, my kids, and other drivers. Please let me know what recourse i have in getting chrysler to complete the full repairto my satisfaction.**the mopar website says parts are available. It would seem a huge liability that chrysler would not make driver and passenger safety priority.

My son and a friend took my car to a movie. The car suddenly quit running while driving on a residential street at approximately 25mph. There have been two recalls on the vehicle concerning the win module and win module detents. In 2010 i experienced the same exact issue, had the car towed to a dealership and they supposedly fixed the problem. This recent incident was exactly like the first. The dealership is refusing to replace the module and wants me to pay $600 to have it fixed. The car will not start without this repair.

Our 2008 town and country lx is experiencing problems with the windshield wipers, horn, dash board lights and radio.when the drivers side door is opened, all of the above items are happening.the dealership where we bought it (not a chrysler dealer) suggested we take it to a chrysler dealer to have the tipm (totally integrated power module) replaced as only the chrysler dealers can do this.after reading so many posts, it appears there are close to 3,000 people having the same problem.i wanted to officially file the complaint but will conduct further research before shelling out $500-1000 to the dealership as thousands of others have.50% of the problems i read about stated that the tipm didn't totally solve the problem.thank you

General electrical malfunction that makes vehicle unsafe.while driving down the highway, the horn started honking uncontrollably and without provocation.even worse, the front windshield wipers and washers also activated making forward visibility difficult especially given we were heading east early in the morning.and, the door locks also cycled up and down.the dealer ran some diagnostics and also communicated the problem to the factory.the dealer had said that the factory thought the electrical problem originated from the tipm but they were not sure and said the cost would be $500.because of the high cost of the repair and the unsurety that the problem would be fixed, i did not have them replace the tipm. The problem occurred again soon after and so i pulled the two horn fuses.of course, that stopped the horn problem, but it also seemed to stop the washer/wiper and door lock problem.in june of this year, there was a recall about the electrical system the involved water getting into some parts of the air bag system.it was thought that this might be the indirect cause of my problem after all and so i reinstalled the horn fuses.not too long after, the original horn-blaring, washer/wiper activity and door locking and unlocking returned.this time, after pulling the horn fuses, i went to the dealer to see about getting this dangerous problem fixed.they said that the electrical part was backordered (by some 450 parts!) and that they would call me.that was a month ago and still no call.so, even after deciding to fix the problem, chrysler is not supplying the parts to do so!it is dangerous to drive with no horn or wipers!does chrysler have some 450 of these dangerous problems reported and not doing anything about it?with the inherent dangerous nature of the problems, i think there should be a recall.so this is why i am writing you.

While driving, the ignition key moved from "on" to "accessory". The engine lost power and i had no power brakes nor power steering to stop. Very bad. I was on a city street at the time. This is the same problem, the recall r03 / nhtsa 14v-373 addressed in 2015. The ignition module was replace at that time under the recall. The replacement failed. I'm presently having the module replaced again at a chrysler dealer. This time at my expense. Not sure what else to do.
Turned off van to get gas.tried to start and nothing.all the warning lights come on and stay on and hard drive/navigation makes a whining sound.it did this 3 times and finally started on the 4th try.
I was driving at about 20mph, suddenly all the warning lights came on and the wipers started acting up. Since i was close to home and had this happened before, i decided to head back. The first time this happened was in february, my husband disconnected the battery and the problem was solved, second time was two weeks ago, changed the battery on the remote key and problem was solved, now my husband has disconnected the battery since every time this has happened the alarm comes on, tried disconnecting the battery and connecting it back again with no luck, alarm is still activated and remote won't shut it off and the van won't start.....its just sitting in my driveway with no idea on what it could be, after reading some of the reviews and learning that alot have the same problem i'm having and with no luck have they found the solution just makes me wonder if this will be a recall anytime soon...really hope so, now i'm stuck with a dead van in my driveway!!

When we used the remote key to unlock our van the alarm sounded, the horn keep beeping, the wipers - both front and back, started, wiper fluid sprayed from both the front and back, the doors would not unlock and the lights stayed on. Once i got in the car ( using a traditional key inside the remote ) i could not control any of the above. It eventually stopped only to start again when i used the remote to lock the car. The battery died and the car was towed to a shop. A new battery was replaced and the car computer reset. I drove it 5 miles home and parked it. 3 hours later i went to unlock the car and the entire process started again - both front and back wipers, lights on, wiper fluid spewing on both windows, car alarm and lights flashing. Again, i could not get in to the car as it remained locked. The battery had to be unwired for this all to stop. The car was towed back to the shop. This time we found out it was the tipm ( totally integrated power module ). The cost of this is over $700. Our car is only 4 years old and after researching this problem i am finding out this is a very common problem with the chrysler town and country 2008 model. If this happened while i was driving it could be an extreme safety hazard on the road. I want chrysler to issue a recall on this and issue mine and everyone elses money back - not only for the faulty part but for all the time and inconvenience this causes on car owners. Please don't want until a fatality happens.

The key will not remove from the ignition. Chrysler has replaced my key twice thinking that was the solution. It was not. Currently the only way to get the key out of my ignition is to - leave my keys in my car until my battery dies or unhook my battery to remove the key. I've been told by a chrysler dealership that this is something chrysler is 'looking into' as a potential recall and that only chrysler dealerships are allowed to fix this. So i am not allowed to have anyone else fix it but them (for top dollar). My options are pay upfront for chrysler to fix and it hope to be reimbursed if the recall goes through.
First time using a brand new chrysler key, one of two replaced under a safety recall in 2010.vehicle started and engine ran fine.started a trip on the highway but i then noticed certain electronic components would not operate, including windshield wipers, defroster, power windows, adjustable power accelerator and brake pedals, cruise control, radio, and seat heaters.i pulled off on the next exit and turned off the ignition.then restarted vehicle and everything worked normally.on the rest of this 5-day trip, this happened about 50% of the time i started the vehicle.i believe this is caused by the key not properly traveling from the "start" to the "on" position after starting (in essence, sticking in the start position).i discovered a sept., 2014, recall (p57) that indicates other 2008 chrysler vehicles can have these same symptoms.this minivan is currently awaiting recall l25, which was begun in june, 2014.the closest dealership to me has told me repeatedly that they do not and cannot get the parts to implement the l25 recall, which adds a detent ring to the ignition.the l25 recall also involves the ignition key potentially moving to an improper position, in that situation from the "on" to "accessory" position.chrysler customer service says my vehicle is not included in the p57 recall and will not pay for any repairs related to my problem. Note that in my case, the key used when this happens is brand new, made by chrysler, and supplied during another safety recall involving the ignition.i have safety concerns about an ignition which allows the minivan to start yet leaves key safety accessories such as the windshield wipers, defrosters, power windows and power accelerator and brake pedals inoperative.note that according to recall p57, chrysler ignitions installed in other models of the same year have been shown to have these same problems.

Car stalls at highway speed combined with electrical freak out. Has happened four times since august of 09 with two additional partial incidents for a total of six tows to the dealer. Car will completely lose power and cut off while driving. At the same time, everything in the electrical system goes haywire. Horn blasts, wipers fly, washer fluid sprays, bells ring. One additional full electrical freak out while in the garage. Additional instance of car refusing to come out of park or start one day home from the shop. This amounts to six times since august o 2009, with chrysler continually putting my family back into this vehicle which then stalls again on the highway at great risk to life and limb.

The ignition on our 2008 chrysler town & country has started getting stuck in the acc position. At the time of the first incident (may 28, 2014) it only took a few attempts at starting the van again and trying to turn it off before the ignition would properly turn off and release the key. At this time (june 18, 2014) these incidents have become more frequent and the duration has increased, also. On june 15, 2014, for example, i was unable to turn the van off and remove the keys from the ignition. I parked, restarted the van several times and attempted to turn the van off, but nothing worked. I drove around the parking lot of the grocery store before parking again and attempting several more times to turn off the vehicle and remove the keys with no luck. After approximately one hour of unsuccessful attempts, i left the grocery store and went back home. The ignition continued to stick in acc for around 30 minutes after returning home. I decided to just leave the keys in the vehicle and occasionally return to the vehicle to try to turn it off and remove the keys. It worked eventually and went one day without any incidents but it has continued to happen several times over the past two days.

I am the operations manager for a livery service on cape cod that uses dodge and chrysler minivans for public transportation service. I've been trying to get the parts for the ignition switch recall since june 2015, and my local dealer keeps telling me the parts are not available. Fca keeps sending me notices, and i find it disgusting that anyone should wait over nine months for the parts for this vital recall. Fca should be ashamed of themselves for not making these parts available in a timely manner.

As i was pulling into gas station parking spot the van shut off.aaa came and tried to jump start van, it would not even turn over.the lights inside the van still came on and it still started with the automatic start.i had to have van towed to service station.the service station said it is the win that needs to be replaced and chrysler is having so many problems with this right now that the part is on back order for 3-4 days.they said there is no recall for this, but according to the new safety recall advanced communication l25070114 letter sent out on 07/01/2014, it state the win module may have unintentional movement that could cause the engine to shut off.it says chrysler will conduct a voluntary safety recall to interrogate the win module using witech scan tool and certain win modules will have a secondary win detent system installed.can you tell me why the dealership is telling me my van does not apply to the recall?thank you

Since receiving the recall notice in june 2015, i have been unsuccessful in finding a car dealership that can produce the parts to make the repairs to make this vehicle safe. With the aid of the fca group recall assistance center, i have had two appointments made and was assured each time the dealer would have the part in stock. After registering with the local service departments on the day of my appointment, each one came back and denied to perform the required corrective work citing they did not have the part in stock. This is very frustrating and a waste of my time. If chrysler values their customers, why can't they have the parts readily available? this is a catastrophe waiting to happen. And who will be responsible when an accident occurs due to the vehicle just stopping due to the defective parts? this appears to be more run around by corporate america with no end in sight. Additionally, after reading a number of the complaints, the nhtsa doesn't appear to have enough clout to force the manufacturers to perform the corrective work within a certain reasonable time frame. Very disappointing to see all the in action at the expense of the consumer.what else can be done to force resolution to this very serious recall issue?as a side note, one of the car dealers lays the blame for lack of parts squarely on chrysler. He stated that chrysler will only ship one repair kit to a dealer at a time. The dealer is required to return the defective unit before chrysler will send them a second unit. Is it any wonder this will take years to have all the vehicles repaired. I again reiterate, is this anyway to maintain a customer base?

I have a 2008 chrysler town and country with a sliding door problem.i sporadically have a problem with the door (has happened to both sliding doors but especially the driver's side) closing part way and then opening.seems like some kind of sensor problem.it will also at times open of itself after it has been closed and i have walked away from it or gone into the house.have complained to the chrysler dealer.they said is was a computer problem and said it was fixed.it is not.i don't have much faith in the dealer as i have read about many others who have experienced the same thing and with no permanent fix.this has happened multiple times, not just the date cited.
Vehicle shuts off while driving.how can this problem, addressed literally hundreds and thousands of times on multiple sites, be judged by your department as not a "safety issue"? i, along with my wife, have been driving down the road with my family at highway speeds and the van completely shuts down.i have been driving down my driveway at low speeds and the van completely shuts down.the van behaves as if possessed.the horn blares, front and rear wipers come on by themselves, flashers come on by themselves, doors lock by themselves, washer fluid sprays on its own at a high volume.i have decided, since nhtsa, chrysler, and my local dealership can't/won't help, that i will call an exorcist.i believe the exorcist will be about as much help as the three of you combined.i assume if my beautiful wife and daughter are killed as a result of the engine shutting off at random speeds one of you three will pay the funeral expense?or at least send some flowers to the visitation?how nice of you. Or should i just contact the exorcist again and see if she has a friend that could hold a seance so i can tell them how much i loved them and that their safety was just not a priority for you?seriously.it is time to do something.i do not have the kind of money the dealership is asking me to pay for a widely known and accepted defect in the manufacturing process of their vehicle.the total integrated power module (tipm) is faulty.everyone knows it.the company acknowledges it. Thousands have been replaced at the owner's expense. When is someone going to step up? how many people have to die before it becomes a "safety issue" to you? so for now i have a very expensive lawn ornament and my family has to bum rides.unbelievable.

The van would stop at low speeds with loss of steering and braking power. No codes would be triggered, it was as if the ignition was just turned off while driving.the electrical power would still be on like the radio and instrumentation panel but the steering and braking would tighten up; very scary feeling. It has happened to my wife driving the kids eight to ten times and myself two times. The dealer said the ignition recall would take care of the problem but i think it is something else (took dealer 6 months to get the part in after our first incident). It got so bad that my wife would have me warm up and drive the van around before she would use it.after my experiences with the issue my procedure to her is to place the transmission in neutral while the van is still rolling and restart the car (this is only in the case of possibly being rear ended).also, the traction control light would flicker right at engine cut off but no engine light. Five days before the appointment for the recall, my wife with kids and parent were in the van entering an on-ramp to the freeway when the engine cut off again causing the van to rear end the car in front.the accident totaled the van even though the speed was around 8mph; no airbag deployment.chrysler opened an investigation but found no evidence of any failure from the vehicle.how can they find anything when no codes are triggered when the engine cuts off?
I got in the van andit woul not start. I continued to turn the fobik until it started. I drove the van to chrysler dealer in collierville tennessee. They installed a win kit.

It is presently there now. I have spent a total of $1689.61 for these repairs. I am not getting any results.

I had received notice that my chrysler town & country was possibly part of a recall for the fobik issue. I made an appt with the dealership & it was confirmed that the vehicle was part of the recall. While driving with my four children down at 45 miles per hour, the engine did "unintentionally shut off". Fortunately, i was in an outside lane and was able to coast to the edge of the road without incident. I contacted the vehicle safety hotline that day regarding my concern that there are no parts available to fix a known problem & spoke with [xxx]. I was added to an email notification list at that time. To date, i had not been contacted. I spoke with [xxx] from the vehicle safety hotline today & was directed to call chrysler. I spoke with a representative at 800-992-1997 to explain my concerns. They stated that parts were not available and that there was no one else to talk to about it. That isn't a satisfactory answer. I need a safe vehicle for my family. What else can be done?information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

My vehicle shuts off while driving making it very dangerous.the ignition switch clicks and the van shuts down at the same timeconsequence:if the ignition key inadvertently moves into the off or accessory position, the engine will turn off, which will then depower various key safety systems including but not limited to air bags, power steering, and power braking. Loss of functionality of these systems may increase the risk of crash and/or increase the risk of injury in the event of a crash. This is what i found out to be the issue in most cases. There was a recall back on june 2014; they fix that problem in my vehicle on june 2015; now is back again; they say there is no recall on this problem, but it continues resurfacing.this problem happened four ( 4 ) time in the month of november 2016 already during driving time ( vehicle in motion); also some times won't even start right away; back in 2014 it was call: recall campaign id is: 14v373000 dated june 26, 2014. Could be recall l25 or r03. Not sure which one is the correct, they have told me r03.

Was driving down the road when the alarm started beeping, lights on dashboard flickered, and wipers go on and off on their own.has happened several times.now the passenger back door automatic buttons do not work and the driver's seat will move forward and back when driving.this is a huge safety issue and the chrysler dealerships are not helpful in finding a solution.said it will take several weeks to try and diagnose what's wrong. I am alarmed that more people are having similar issues and a recall has not been made.it's hard to drive when your seat is moving.in addition, sometimes my transmission will not shift.seems to be an electrical problem.once i turn the vehicle off and restart it, seems to run fine.

After several months waiting for the r03 recall to be done, it was finally fixed. To my dismay, as i was driving off the parking lot of the dealer who fixed it i started hearing a clicking noise in my steering wheel. It was never like that before and now there is a problem with it. Dealer claims it is the clock spring assembly and will cost be roughly $500 but dealer refuses to pay for it. They stated they were no where near the steering wheel which is hard to believe since they were replacing the ignition which i thought were right next to it. And i've actually read several consumer complaints that had a similar problem. Chrysler is looking into this but i won't hold my breathe.

The van does not start at times. The ignition switch will be turned as if to fire up and there is no connection, it just clicks. I bought this vehicle used from sign it/drive it in denton, tx on april 21, 2018.

While driving at any speed the van randomly starts blinking all lights on the dashboard and then the driver power seat starts randomly going forward and backwards which creates a very dangerous driving situation. This has happened on multiple occasions and is started to become more frequent. When this happens we immediately pull over to the side of the road because at times you cannot touch pedals because the seat is extended to the full length making it hard to reach the pedals. Our van has never been in an accident, this just started happening this month.

Wife stated that she went to her car to leave from work and once she got close to the vehicle the horn began blaring non stop, wipers running, fluid spurting out, dash lights going on and off and door locks going up and down.i arrived and removed the battery cable and it stopped.i replaced the cable a short time later and was able to start the vehicle and i started driving it home and as i got up to about 30 mph it did it again and this time the car cut off and i lost steering and brakes but was able to come to a stop on the side of the busy street i was on.i removed the key from the ignition and got out of the vehicle at which point i noticed that the car had cut back on and was actually running without the key in the ignition.i drove it home without further incident.at 3 am the same night we were awakened by the vehicles horn blaring in the driveway.i went outside and it was doing the same thing that my wife originally stated but the car was actually running without a key being anywhere near it - we do not have the remote start installed on the vehicle. My wife and i refuse to drive it due to the fact that if the above problems happen at 70 mph we would probably be dead.

After dropping off passenger after lunch the horn blew intermittently and wipers came on for a few seconds and stopped on my 2008 chrysler town and country that i bought a year ago as a certified preowned.drove across parking lot and horn blew once or twice and decided to head to dealership (40 min away) for diagnosis.was driving down highway 20 mintues later and horn blew continuously, wipers going, washer fluid spraying, vehicle shut off, lost power steering and power brakes.had to coast to side of the road and call tow truck while waiting in 95 degree heat with no air. Thank god i was in the right lane and traffic was light.dealership found 11 codes that had to be reset and drove it around and didn't come back on.they didn't know cause of problem but suggested a tip module but said that wasn't for sure the issue.excellent dealership service department that didn't want to just throw needless parts and money at a potentially fatal problem had it happened on a busy interstate. So now we're waiting to see if it happens again.
While i am driving my 2008 chrysler town and country it shuts off without warning. When this happens i am usually driving less than 35mph but it is very difficult to control the van due to a loss of power steering, electric, and gas control. I usually have to apply the brake, shift it in neutral, and wait for the engine to restart (which sometimes stalls for a few seconds). This is very concerning to me as a parent with 3 children who usually travel with me and it happens frequently--so far up to 6 times in 1 day.

As i was driving 65 mph, the minivan just completely shut off (engine and dashboard). The speedometer dropped to zero, the car began to shake and i had to cut through high speed traffic (with my kids in the car) to safely get over to the side of the road. I put the car in park and then the gear shift became stuck in park. I had to shut off the car for 5 minutes, restart and the car was fine. I am terrified to drive this car with my two small children. I am the original owner and never had this happen before. From what i have read online this is common with chrysler. When i called chrysler in mi the customer rep replied "oh wow, i've never heard that before". If you do a search online this has affected many car owners. There needs to be a recall before someone gets into a serious accident. If this happens again i will contact legal representation.

This van has been shutting down while drivingto often now. It is now a case number with chrysler but no one has solved the problem it is now back in the dealer for the 4th time on this incident. We experienced more than once very near accidents on busy roads. Too dangerous to drive. I can't believe the amount of problems with these chrysler's shutting down and from what i reviewed on line there are different years involved. I have the 2008 one and they recalled the 2009 ones. But i really think they need to re do the e2008 from the amount of people i have read reviews on. All owners of 2008. Very serious issue.

Vehicle stalled on slow right hand turns. Happened 5 or 6 times. Electrical system appeared to be dead, no dashboard lights and the indicators stopped blinking. Vehicle restarted every time after stopping and putting the transmission into park position. Chrysler 5 star dealer in ellington ct could not find a problem. The vehicle had the ignition key module replaced under warranty prior to this because it died. The dealer didn't think the new module could be the problem.

This is a complaint as i have received 2 different recalls involving the same problem and the dealer still is unable to order parts. I received recall l25 in 2011 and recall ro3 06/06/15. (my understanding is that the recall r03 replaces l25). I was told last year (twice) that parts were still not available for recall l25. After getting recall r03 that deals with same issue, i went to dealer on 06/10/15 and they confirmed that parts are not available. This vehicle issue can cause the key (fobik) to move from on to "accessory", shutting done the engine while driving, causing an accident. This vehicle is driven daily by my wife and my two kids as passengers. Waiting 4 years for recall l25 is unacceptable and putting my family and others in danger.!..updated 08/13/15 the consumer stated the dealer finally received the parts and corrected the issue.

Faulty transmission.constantly hard shifts everywhere.feels like the transmission is going to fall out of the vehicle every time you shift from reverse to drive ,or drive to park, or park to reverse.this is the second transmission on this vehicle.there are only 65000 miles on the vehicle overall.45000 on this particular transmission.i called chrysler and all they tell me is that it's out of warranty.it's obviously their inadequate parts and it's just a matter of time before the transmission fails on the freeway and someone gets injured.how many accidents need to happen before chrysler steps up and puts a good transmission on their vehicles?
The abs control module is defective and the anti-lock system is not operating correctly. I have had to replace brake pads 3 times in the last two years. I took my van in for brake repair and the service tech (who had worked for chrysler previously) detected the issue and found the recall affecting the vehicle (nhtsa campaign # 09v351000). Fca has a technical service bulletin out on this issue and this is a recall out for this problem, affecting my make & model year but my vin number does not apply to the recall. How can this be?
Two years ago, while driving at night, horn, wipers, wiper fluid and lights began going off and on by themselves. Stopped the car and turned off the car, but it kept on going on. I was in the car with my 5 children and my husband was not with us. It totally freaked out my children and me. My husband came and disconnected the battery and it stopped. On the way home it had stopped. Call our chrysler dealership in the morning, but they had no idea what we were talking about and said to bring it in. Not being under warranty (68,000 miles) we decided to do our own research (husband works on cars on a regular basis). We only found that others in this situation were not having any luck at dealership. We have learned how to deal with this for 2 years now. We have taken out the fuse for the horn and wipers (as both will not turn off anymore) and insert wipers when raining. We don't feel safe with this situation, but not able to do anything else. Happens often without pattern. Waiting for a recall since this seems to be a huge problem with chrysler. Very disappointed in the product.
While sitting in the parking lot of the supermarket, with the engine off, the horn sounded continuously, the front and rear wipers started running and the washer fluid sprayed the rear window continuously. I opened the hood of the car and tugged on the power lead going into the tipm and everything stopped. Another time i was driving the van when all of the systems mentioned started going again. I pulled the van over, turned off the engine and exited the van with my keys in my pocket. I opened the hood to tug on the power lead again, but to my surprise the engine was still running (without the key in the ignition and the ignition off!) i tugged the power lead and all systems stopped and the engine shut down. I started the car, reset the wipers and was on my way. I've had this van to my mechanic several times now and he's still having problems getting it fixed. This is going on intermittently for 2 years. When i first had the problem, i brought to chrysler and they said it was a dirty battery terminal (not true) then they said it was a loose connection at the computer (not true) then the warranty ran out, and they said to leave the van and they would do some tests on the van and that it could cost about 800 dollars if it was the computer or a module. I didn't leave it because i don't trust them. Why isn't there a recall on the problem? i've had the van die while i was driving, thankfully it was on a side street and not while i was attempting to enter a highway. There are many people on the internet with the same exact problem and nothing is being done. Now chrysler is saying that the tipm could be defective from the manufacturer and they are trying to locate another company to make them. They are on back order. Why should the consumer be responsible for a manufacturers defect? please help!

The protective lenses covering the mirror mounted turn signals falls off as it was only lightly glued on at the factory. This leads to rain and other items coming in contact with the bare circuit board the controls the led turn signals. This can lead to malfunction where the mirror mounted turn signals will not properly activate especially when raining. Chrysler has fixed the design issue in the newer replacement leds however the dealer charges $80s per side for parts only. I was quoted several hundred for installing the new parts.

Description of the complaint:my 2008 chrysler town and country, just stopped working last night. Drove it around all day and it was fine. Went in to work, and when i came out that night to go home, the lights were all working, and the power doors and windows worked. However, the radio stopped working, the power windows no longer work, and the car will not start. It will not try to turn over. You can turn the key and nothing happens. The starter does not click, the motor doesn't do anything at all.since we can't put it in gear due to the security lockout, we have towed it to a repair shop. This is a major issue considering it is the only vehicle my family has, and now we have no way to get our kids to the doctor or to school. They said it was a fuse box which has to bee ordered but will take a while sincethere has been a shortage of these items.they saidthe dealers were out, probably because of a manufactures defect. They said there was not a recall as of yet.

Car ignition switch jumped from run to accessory or in between them. Car stopped abruptly with no indicators present on the dash board. This happened 6 or 7 times more, once while driving on the main street of my town. A dangerous situation was avoided by my wrestling the car to the curb and onto the sidewalk. I reported the fault to my local dealer as an ignition switch problem but chrysler (factory?) had them adjust the fuel trim, reset the memory, and perform battery disconnect and capacitive discharge. This did not work! the switch still "trips" to the accessory position. Has happened several times more since the "attempted "repair.
At intermittent times the horn goes off and the windshield wipers turn on and it squirts washer fluid. Sometimes while stationary and sometimes while driving. The vehicle will shut down on its own whether driving slow on a side street or at highway speeds. This started last spring (2016).i've read numerous reports of this happening and that it is the tipm module. I spoke to the dealer last year about it and they said there was no recall issued.i've also seen that this has not been considered a safety issue. How so? this is very much a safety issue and it needs to be a recall. Electrical systems are not a mechanical 'wear and tear' item. I don't have any documentation of an incident yet and i hope my wife and kids don't have have one!
While visiting in canada vehicle wouldn't start.towed to nearest chrysler dealer. Told the win module(part#05026147ah) was bad. None available in canada. Made me suspicious there was a problem. Chrysler service(file#[xxx])suggested a shortage because part was part of a recall on 2010 town/country vans as well as other models in u.s. Why isn't my van included? same part,probably same mechanically. I have had to be towed,waited in canada 2 days,returned home(4.5 hr drive) waiting 2 weeks plus without vehicle and will have to go back some day for vehicle.this is getting very expensive.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

After that, if the air bag warning icon light stays on, the entire process will reoccur every few minutes. Sometimes it will stop after a few iterations, sometimes it will go on for hours. The problem seams to be more prevalent after the vehicle has been parked in the hot sun. Sometimes, disconnecting the battery's negative cable for at least 30 minutes will reset it until it is parked in the sun.

I received a safety recall on the ignition switch around april 2015.we made a booking at the local dealership,dick meyers dodge in harrisonburg va. I've made repeated inquiries for getting the work done, but every time get the same answer in that chrysler is slow in getting them the supply of replacement ignition switches. It's coming up on 2 years since making the booking and still no results. This seems ridiculous in that it is taking so long and there's still no anticipated delivery date.
Vehicle is having electrical problems. These electrical problems are causing the vehicle to shut off while operating, lights to turn on and off, horn to sound and windshield wipers and washers to operate randomly. This vehicle was purchased new from the dealer and had a similar problem when new.it was repaired and now is doing it again only more severely. There are many reports of similar problems with this vehicle experiencing this problem. In some cases the cruise control starts operating on its own and accelerating. This needs to be a recall.

In may, 2014, the car died a couple times after stopping at a stop sign and again as we drove down the highway - had to turn off the ignition and restart - took it to the dealer andpaid for a repair.in september 2014, received recall 14v-373 - dealer installed key detent and i purchased a new key fob.in march, 2015, car died again as we drove about 20 mph down a city street - took it to dealer and they removed the key detent - said recall did not apply to our vehicle, and had not determined how to fix it.after driving it this week, it has worked okay - but we fear what might happen if we're in a lot of traffic and the car 'dies'.

I will be driving or parked and my dash is flickering, the lights on my dash go crazy lighting up, my odometer goes around and my car stalls. When it stalls i cannot get by key out or restart my car. Everything is dead including air bags and hazard lights. I must then open the hood andtap on the battery. I have replaced the battery and got a new key but it seems to happen anyway. I am concerned that i may not be able to get off the road before it stalls so i will not be able to let the other cars know that i am disabled and they may hit me. I drive my kids around in the car and am concerned that we are going to get into an accident because of it. I noticed another complaint with some of the same symptoms. I hear that gm has a recall could it also be with chrysler? please look into this before someone dies.

I am filing a complaint against chrysler's inability to correct their recall l-25. I was told that these parts will not be available until february 2015. My vehicle has experienced a problem with the ignition as the recall file states, shutting off at times and even not starting again due to improper ignition alignment. I feel like this is a very dangerous issue for myself and my family. We feel this vehicle is unsafe to drive as it is and at times is undriveable due to not being able to start it. I was given a quote from a chrysler dealership of $340 plus labor to resolve the issue since the actual recall part is unavailable, though they could not guarantee that i would be reimbursed by chrysler. It feels like chrysler is forcing their drivers to take care of their recall matter at the customers own risk and out of their own pocket. I cannot believe that anyone is allowing this company to make us wait on such a recall, especially those of us encountering the problem and cannot use the vehicle. I feel that there should be an approval sent to the customers and dealerships to where they can get these unsafe vehicles fixed, now, with the wind module kit, rather than putting us and others at further risk and lives possibly being taken. I hope this matter can be resolved very soon. This is my only vehicle and i cannot wait days nor months, till february, for chrysler to help.

The wiring harness in my minivan broke, causing the wires to become pinched and sever. While trying to remedy the problem we became aware of a safety recall on the same part. When i took my vehicle to bernard's in new richmond wi. I was told that the recall work had already been done (obviously not correctly, if the same problem occurred) and the recall was closed. I firmly believe that this would not/ should not occur without default. I fear fire with my children/ grandchildren in the car...

I bought a brand new 2008 town and country in dec. 2007. For four years it didn't have a problem except for the whirring sound. This problem of tipm probably appeared about two years ago when the van suddenly overheated along the freeway while driving just about 12 miles from my home. The service center said that there was a leaking hose in the cooling system but i told them that prior to that the wiper just started to move without turning it on. The service center apparently fixed it. But the same thing has been happening on and off. All the service center can say is it is drivable. About two months ago it overheated again, and my wife who was using the car had it towed to the chrysler service center close to where the car stalled. That is the carpros in renton, washington, who said that the problem again was the coolant system hose that was leaking, also something about the timing belt that needed to be changed, the cylinder head gasket that needed to be changed. While i have an extended warranty they were charging too much so i had it towed to the service center where i bought the car. This service center fixed the cylinder head, got the car back but still it has the same problem of windshield turning on, lights going on and off in the instrument panel, dinging sound going on and off even while driving, driver seat rocking back and forth. I sent it back to the service center where i bought it from and this time they finally said that it is the tipm that is causing the problem. They told me that the electronic board was changed totally and was reprogrammed. But the following day, it still has the same problem.
1. While driving the esp indicator light and engine comes on and wheels automatically go into slow mode (as if i were on ice). I manually shut off button. Took it to dealer and said the coil in my steering module is bad, needs replacing. I complained of van having hard shifting in accel and decel. Fault code c1210-steering angle sensor2. The engine light reports that i have a bad egr valve, needs replacing. Found code p1404 & code p0404.

At approx. 34,000 miles - while driving the engine would shut off (no power steering/no power brakes), horn would sound constantly, instrument panel would turn off, windshield wipers would turn on and sometimes the brakes would partially activate. It took 3 trips to dealer to resolve the problem.the dealer replaced the ignition keys we had and this seemed to resolve the problem.35,000 miles -same symptoms as above.the only way to re-start the vehicle was to dis-connect the battery.after reconnecting the battery and restarting the engine the vehicle would operate properly for approximately 20 miles, then we had to repeat the process. Eventually the dealer replaced a computer card which so far has rectified the problem.**important to note** the dealer stated they could not resolve the issue unless they could get the vehicle to repeat the problem. They reportedly could not get the vehicle to repeat the problem. They did not consider customer report of the problem to be sufficient.

We have been having an ongoing issue with our 2008 chrysler town and country. The horn will start blowing, the wipers will come on, fluid will start spraying, the a/c will come off and on, doorlocks will not work, and all this will happen while driving and when it is sitting in the garage with no key in the ignition. I have a 4 year old daughter and when this happens while driving we have come very close to being in an accident. The only way to stop the vehicle from doing this is to disconnect the battery. Not safe.
While driving my car it stalls and shuts off. It was supposibly recalled and replaced in 2015
Van stalls wherever and whenever it wants without warning. Very dangerous!. Happens on freeways or back roads. With loss of steering and brakes its not easy to stop. I have read plenty of online forums and allot of t&c owners have the same issue. Why is chrysler not recalling these?? it happens almost everyday now. Dealer says bring it in but wont really be able to fix it until it happens again. The forums i read aren't very promising. People have brought the van back multiple times and some are still stalling.
Vehicle stops running at random. It has happened numerous times driving at any and all speeds, cutting out power steering and brakes while at speeds of 55 mph making it extremely hazardous.

While driving with the children to go home we were traveling at 25 mph and all of the sudden the horn was blaring then the windshields (front and back) start going and next windshield wiper fluid is pouring out non stop. I'm checking the controls and they are all on off. I pull over and turn the car off and take the keys out and the van still continues to have a fit. Time passes and it stops. We sit on the side with keys out of the car for about a half hour and the van continues to random spurts. I notice the lock on the open door is still in lock position, i press the key control for unlock and wiper fluid comes out. I wait longer and call the dealership. After 20 more minutes i start car. I turn off radio and drive home (5 min drive).

During the past three months all of a sudden the horn starts blowing erratically, the windshield washers and wipers activate, lights start flashing, the doors lock automatically and the transmission will not shift into high.this has happened five or six times since aug., having occurred four times in the past three weeks.it happens while the car is running and while it is not.with each incident the symptoms become worse and the duration is longer.last week, i had to pull off the road and wait five or ten minutes for it to stop as i could not see where i was going.yesterday, it occurred while sitting in the garage and i had to disconnect the battery to stop it.the chrysler dealer says it is the total integrated power module that needs to be replaced @$524.12.additionally now at 54,000 miles the front rotors are warped and need to be replaced @ $409.they had to be replaced @ 25,834 and 35,272.when the brakes are applied the front end and steering vibrate uncontrollably.both conditions are safety issues, have been well document by hundreds of people, and are obvious inherent defects in the vehicle, and should be issues that result in a recall of these vehicles and repairs or replacements made at chrysler's expense, yet they continue to deny there is an inherent problem.both issues could result in a serious accident.

While driving down the interstate at 45 mph the traction control light indicator flashed and all the gauges zeroed out and the van lost power and steering control making it extremely difficult and unsafe to remove from highway. This has happened on three occasions in the past 3 weeks since i have purchased it from dealership as used car. Putting the vehicle in park then restarting it seems to fix the problem temporarily, although i am concerned driving it on the road with me and my children in the van. Now the engine light came on and had diagnostics run. Code p0406 - showing ecm has detected the egr position sensor voltage was too high, probable causes could be: failed egr position sensor, open or short circuit condition, failed egr valve, failed egr pressure sensor where applicable, or failed egr position sensor where applicable.

My van has a failing tipm and apparently this is a common thing with these vans. It causes the horn to sound, wipers to start even when the vehicle is parked with no one in it and the engine off. It also causes the vehicle to shut off the fuel pump causing the vehicle to shut off while driving. Chrysler is well aware of this and refuses to issue a recall, even though this is something that happens to many of their 2008 vehicles.

Van was parked went out to run to store would not start. Had no power to anything, no windows, no radio, no instrument panel, gages don't come on when key is on. Had bettery tested was fine. Contacted dealer they had no idea. Got van to start with remote starter but when i put key the key in and put to on van shuts off and refuses to start. Called chrysler they had no clue and referred me back to the dealer.prior to this the van was running fine. Have only owned it 4 months. Seen other complaints about electrical issues and seems to be ongoing. You would think that chrysler would do a recall on the electrical system but who am i. This is the first chrysler that i have owned and has put a bad taste in my mouth about owning another since they have had numerious complaints and fail to resolve the issue nor does the dealer want to so the next step is contacting the better business bureau and the attorney general to investigate.

I have had issues with stalling for months. Since february 2014, i have taken to local service center 3 times but they cannot fix it. Finally on may 1, 2014 after the vehicle stalled 2 times, i was involved in a collision.no injuries and the only damage was to my vehicle.current estimate to repair the vehicle from the collision is $1700.there is no estimate to repair the stalling because there is no solution known to cause the stalling.typical stall:while driving, the power steering gives out and then the brakes lock up. The vehicle has to be put into park after i attempt to safely stop.the key has to be turned all the way to off position before it will restart. Frequency is 1-4 times per week.

Having problems with the electrical system as described by many others here.car can be sitting still in driveway or driving when the horn will go off, dashboard lights go on, wipers starting going up and down, windshield fluid starts shooting out, electrical components in vehicle don't work, a/c doesn't work, and if driving, car will not shift into gear at higher speeds. Cannot turn off or stop any of this. I tried turning car on and off, hit buttons on remote, and this will continue for a few minutes until finally stopping on its on. Very scary when you are driving! almost got in multiple accidents so far and with my kids in the car!

Windshield wipers going without being turned on; washer fluid continually spewing out; horn honking continually; lights flashing on and off; doors locked.while driving to the dealership, van stalled in traffic.finally was able to get it there with the engine running and the key off.could be a very dangerous situation if vehicle caught fire due to electrical problems and i am unable to get out because the doors are locked and the knobs are down in the door so you can't pull them up to escape.it was like the vehicle was possessed.i purchased this vehicle for my mother to drive and i am afraid for her to use it.the dealership kept it for a day and said it would need a tipm, but it was on back order and wouldn't be in until possibly 1-3 months.ridiculous!they can make several vehicles in one day and can't a part for 1-3 months.they said we probably shouldn't drive it.that's certainly inconvenient for us since we don't have extra vehicles.while the vehicle was sitting in my driveway, all of the same things happened again-horn honking, windshield wipers going, washer fluid spilling out, doors locked-while it was just sitting in my drive.we were told to unhook the negative battery cable.something needs to be done about this issue because apparently i am not the only one with this problem as noted in other entries listed.we have not had a crash, fire or injury/fatality as of yet, but i want the problem resolved before that happens!!!

Approximately six months ago i received a safety recall notice from chrysler, l25/nhtsa 14v-373, advising that my car could unexpectedly switch from "run" to "accessory", causing the motor to shut off. This would result in loss of power steering, power brakes and the inactivation of the passive restraint systems including the airbags. The letter said the part to fix this potentially fatal problem was not available and i would be notified by mail when it was. Six months later and still no fix. Chrysler continues to introduce new cars, but just doesn't have the ability to fix my defective car. A call to the chrysler group recall assistance center gets only a recording, reciting almost verbatim, the recall letter. Is my, or my wife's death or serious injury going to be the result of this totally unacceptable delay in correcting a know serious problem? it's a thought that is in my mind each time we start our van. Can we get some help before anything actually happen?updated 03/04/15.

On sept. 7, 2011 we experienced a second incident where the vehicle totally shut down while in motion. Took it to the chrysler dealer and they performed a software update ,tsb 18-003-09 , and they said this should correct the problem. We performed a dealership battery replacement on 8-1-11.on dec. 14th, 2011 the problem re-occurred, while leaving a parking lot traveling under 10 mph. Now with out power steering assistance, i was barely able to manually maneuver the vehicle to a open parking spot, stop, put the vehicle in park and it restarted. On dec. 22, 2011 the problem re-occurred, while backing out of my driveway traveling under 10 mph. Stopped vehicle, placed it into park and it restarted. I called the same chrysler dealership whom performed the above stated repair, the earliest appointment date they were able to give was dec. 27, 2011.this is incident is extremely dangerous and alarming to the safety of a family of six. We have google'd this type of incident and have read a lot of similar occurrences. We would like to recommend to the ntsb to conduct a full investigation into this type of incident and issue a safety recall recommendation to chrysler in order to proactively avoid loss of life's due to this total system failure in which chrysler has been made aware of.

We bought our 2008 chrysler town and country in may of 2014 used from kunes ford antioch illinois. The first time i went to use my electric start, about 15 mins after car was going the van started going crazy windshield wipers/ fluid horn blaring doors lock can't use the fobik key to unlock the only way to stop it was to disconnect battery. Couple months past and it started acting to where i would go to start the car and it would just click and would t start. It has done all of the listed above numerous times but now it is getting more and more. About 3 weeks ago it did it 7 times in one week 4 of those times i had my 4 children in the vehicle. While i am driving down the street it will start to do this craziness and then it will stall. Yesterday august 4 2015 it did it twice the second time it started with wipers while driving when i got home i parked it took the key out of ignition and the van was still running and doing the wipers the doors locked and i could t get it unlocked to get my children out of the car. I have had it at a chrysler dealer for service for 2 weeks where the service manager drove it personally he was able to get it to do the same thing to him. I had my vehicle returned after two weeks charged $235 dollars and was told good luck to you we have no clue what's causing it. I have been in contact and complaining to chrysler which i now have a case manager who could only tell me to take it to dealership while its in process to have it ran for codes which i did yeaturday and was laughed at but the service guys. I am at my wits end. This is the car we purchased for our family to be safe in but instead i am driving a death trap and no one has an answer or wants to help. Someone needs to do something about this this is a serious problem. I just googled it and found tons of complaints about same thing. This is an issue for sure!! please help!!!

While driving on the road the motor dies as if i turned it off, so of course it's difficult to steer. I managed to get off to the side of the road. I decided to put it in neutral and try to start it. It started and off i went. Several days later the same thing happened so as i was coasting along, i just put it in neutral and was able to continue on. This has happenedperiodically over the past few years. Also, awhile ago, i pulled into my parking place at work and just as i was getting ready to turn the ignition off, everything went wild, horn honking, alarm going off, both front and back windshield wipers going full bore with the washer fluid spraying out! this continued for several minutes even though the key was out of the ignition! it finally stopped, all the washer fluid ran out! this has happened periodically over the past couple years. It happened a few months ago and wouldn't stop until we unhooked the battery. I'm told it is a faulty power module! that's crazy, never in my life has anything like this hypo me with a vehicle! i think chrysler should stand behind this faulty part. It could have caused me to have an accident but luckily has not! can't really afford a new part or vehicle!

While driving down a main road, the car suddenly shut down. Nothing worked. I could not brake or steer as power steering went. The only thing that stayed on was the radio. Car slowly coasted and eventually stopped. My 2 young children were in the car, i have already told dealer about this and they said they could find nothing wrong but that it sounds like a key roll back issue. They told me if it happens while driving again i should turn key as it may have moved from on position to acc position due to a bump in the road.turning the key did nothing. After the car stopped i attempted to restart car and everything worked except the malfunction indicator light stayed on.this is a serious issue and chrysler service department did not seem to care when i called! then i begin researching and find that they recalled 2009 vehicles of the same make for the same problem!

Starting in dec. 2014 my vehicle would not start, it just clicked and clicked but would not start. The dealer said the wire harness needed replaced but they only spliced the cable and replaced the battery terminals which did not fix the problem and later both cables spliced melted. The starter had to be replaced but still had the starting problem, start sometimes or would click,click, click however many times until it started. It has been into the dealer 4 times and still going back again after replacing the ignition switch and finally putting in a new harness august 17, 2015, had it back one day and 35 clicks later it started; will be taking back to the dealer next week to continue searching for why it keeps doing this. I fear that it will just turn off and stop in the street again as it did aug. 5, 2015, that was so scary! i have seen forums online that has person after person complaining of the same problem. That is why i decided to write a compliant here. Before all of this at the dealer it would not start so put in a new battery but it did not fix the problem. Intermittent problems make it so hard to know when it will happen or not.

Wireless ignition node replacement. I have been awaiting the replacement of this item. Chrysler has directed on 2 or 3 occasions for moore auto to order the part which is available and to replace this auto to a safe condition. They have done this by not ordering the parts needed and refusing to comply with chryslers directions. This non action by chrysler and most importantly moore auto has placed my family and myself in danger. Moore and chrysler have refused to take my vehicle back in to their possession and replace it with a new vehicle. Both myself and chrysler have numerously requested that moore take action to fix this problem. The last time chrysler requested moore to again replace the unsafe parts,moore's answer to chrysler was that their parts dept. Had 12 kits to repair vehicles but they would not use any of those kits to repair my vehicle. They at that time told chrysler that they would immediately order one for my car and repair it when they could. That was over 2 weeks ago and still no word from moore auto or chrysler. Usual turn around time between ordering parts and installation is 3 days,sometimes sooner. I request your help in dealing with this 13+ month problem.thank you.

L25recall. Ignition failed three timesno parts to fix yet. No other keys on fob last time it turned off.key is loose in the ignition (per the local chrysler service mgr). Engine turned off three times while drive without touching the key.happened three time at different speedsfirst time at 45 miles per hour car just stopped in the middle of the road.. Once faster, once slower. My 22 year old daughter was driving the car all three times. All the lights on the dash come on and she said the steering would not work and the brakes did not work.she called crying the first time from the middle of the road did not know what to do. Engine had stopped. (no codes showed on diagnostic computer when dealer charged for the diagnostic) she ended up in the middle of the road stopped. Engine did restart all three times.local chrysler dealer could not get to duplicate even though the said they drove car 4 or 5 times. (even though they said they drove it 4 or 5 times, no miles were put one the van while in the dealership.even the $115 diagnostic charge from the dealership showed no miles were put on the van). They charged because they said they could not confirm it was the l25 recall which they have no parts to fix yet.the local chrysler dealer said they ran a diagnostic for $115 that showed no computer codes which the service manager said sounds like the ignition recall symptoms, but still charged me because they could not get it to duplicate at the dealership.(i did not know a safety recall had to be duplicated to get work done without charging)the local chyrsler dealership said that it should be safe to keep driving, they could not find anything wrong with it.my 22 daughter is scared to death of the van but is having to keep driving it.
I purchased a 2008 chrysler town and country in may had no problems with the vehicle until august 13th 2008 while driving down the road the vehicle just shut down and lost all power steering and brakes (all control of the electrical abilities).i had it towed to the dealer ship it would not stay running.they said that the computer needed to be reset and i was good.well i went to leave with my children and i had no fan for the a/c i took it back up to the mechanic and it just started working again, they said that sometimes it just has to register with the computer and i went to the store.went to leave and the a/c wasn't working again went to the dealer couldn't figure out what went wrong ordered a part then it magically started working again.so i took my children home and the next time we left to go to the store i was driving on the interstate going 70 mph and the car just shut down again losing all control of the car electrical abilities.it is a very dangerous occurrence and the dealership doesn't seem to be a bit concerned that my family could have been in a serious accident due to the car failures.

Drove car approx 100 feet, 1st thing in the morning.used brakes at end of driveway, then started driving and all 4 brake related lights came on - abs light, traction control light, brake light, esp bas light.all 4 lights remained on.they were not on when car intially started, but came on immediately after using the brakes for the 1st time.always remained on until car was turned off.took car to shop next day and the diagnostic showed the anti lock module was failing.not overly safe to drive young kids around, so we went ahead with the repair.chrysler informed the shop that they sell roughly 15 of these parts a week.shop questioned why they were not recalled as that # is quite high.new module has been in for about a week and all seems fine.updated 7/29/2015

I have problems getting it to start with out wiggling the key. Itwill also not lock or unlock my doors and trunk they are powered. I have taken this vehicle to the dealership three times already and each time they say that they are sorry but the parts are on order how long does it take to order parts for my car its been a year and half with no results. Do i have to get killed first before chrysler fixes this problem it is a recall # r03 and #11v-139 and i'm getting feed up . I guess if i'm willing to pay for this repair then it will get fixed !!!!!!!

My wife went to the car to unlock it the horn began blaring, locks going up and down, lights flashing, wiper fluid spraying everywhere, and the car actually started up w/o the key in the ignition and we do not have a remote starter on the vehicle. I arrived and removed the battery cable and it all stopped. After a few minutes i replaced the cable and was able to start the vehicle without incident. I was driving it home at approximately 65 mph and the vehicle suddenly started doing the same thing but the car cut off and i lost all steering and braking ability but was able to coast to the side parkway i was on. I removed the cable and replaced it and drove home without incident took the key out but the van would not shut off. One night of the issue we were awakened by the vehicles horn and when i went outside it was doing the same thing and the car was running in the driveway. She refuses to drive it and now we are stuck with a useless vehicle sitting in the driveway..fed up with this situation there needs to be someone held accountable, dealership was no help at all!! " they say the don't know what the problem is how can that be !?????? seeing that there are thousands of van owners like me with the same problem!!!!!
Vehicle began emitting a clicking sound when turning the key(fob), the clicking continued for a couple of seconds then stopped when the vehicle was put in drive. Over the nest few days the clicking continued to occur when starting the vehicle, lasting longer, and not stopping when put in drive. Yesterday, the clicking would not stop and when i tapped the area next to the key, the key moved from "on" to "accessory" position.i researched this problem, on the internet, and found a recall (l25. Note: this is an expansion of recall 11v-139). I contacted my local chrysler dealer to fix the problem, but they stated that there were no recalls in effect. I then contacted chrysler customer service who stated that not all affected vehicleshad been identified yet and i would have to wait (for an undetermined period of time) until they identify my car as being included in the recall. I would very much appreciate your assistance in helping to resolve this issue. Thank you.
On 3/7/16, 3 days following the recall repair for the win module we had done on 3/4/16, after starting the car and beginning to drive in my church parking lot, all of the dash lights lit up, the car started chiming as if i didn't have my seatbelt on, the wipers engaged, and the mph and rpm gauges dropped to zero. It continually repeated. I attempted to pull into a parking space, turn off and removed key from ignition. Restarted car, and problem persisted. I repeated this again with the problem still persisting. I pulled into a gas station, turned car off, removed key, and exited vehicle. When i restarted the car the problem had stopped. Two days later on 3/8/16 i started my car for work and as soon as i put the car in reverse the same problem started. Shut the car off, removed key, and restarted... Still occurring. Shut the car off, removed key, exited vehicle, restarted, still occurring... I proceeded to drive down the road after exiting my driveway and took a video of this problem repeating continually until a mile down the road, i pulled over into an empty parking lot, shut the car off, removed key, opened and shut the door, and let it sit for 3-5 minutes before restarting, and the problem no longer occurred. My husband called the dealership, greenwood auto in cortland, oh to tell them what was happening, and all they said that it wasn't from them repairing the win module. I find this extremely unsafe, and hard to believe this is just a coincidence as this has never happened before prior to having the recall repair done. I do not have pictures but i do have a video. Chrysler customer service now says i have to pay a chrysler dealership for a diagnosis of this new problem, how convenient that is.

This car has been nothing but problems since the moment i bought it.it is so aggravating that chrysler won't own up to the issues with these cars.aside from the multiple recalls this car has had in three years, the break system is awful.i had replaced the front breaks and rotors around 28000 miles (maybe earlier i can't remember).now the back breaks are shot and once again, i will need breaks and rotors that will cost me $375 according to the dealer.my car has 38,000 miles on it. I have owned mini vans in the past and many cars and never have i had to replace both front and rear break pads/rotors this soon. My tires are so bald that all four need replacing. Again, i have never had to replace tires this soon on any of my vehicles over the years. The radio sometimes will not come on or will go black. The factory battery needed replacing at 30,000 miles which was extremely unusual as well.the side doors need to manually be closed when exiting vehicle because if i use the automatic switch, they bounce back. I have come out of stores with my doors wide open.when using the cruise control on the highway, the car with suddenly accelerate with rpms going into the red zone. Only way to stop it is to turn off cruise control. This morning on my way to work pulling out of my neighborhood i heard a grinding sound as the car began breaking on its own. Meanwhile the ebs and abs lights came on.i pulled over, shut off the car and turned it back on. Drove up the road and lights are still on. This car is junk all around.i have only had it for three years, still have a car payment. Ridiculous.i may just lease next time. That way chrysler can pay for repairs.

Windshield wipers, horn, washer fluid, and lights inside and outside of vehicle randomly go off and wont stop unless the battery is disconnected.this will also cause the car to start on its own and wont turn off if already running. Took to a mechanic and they said it was the clock spring but it only lasted for a couple of months and is now doing the same thing. Check engine light came on and is showing again a problem with the ecm. I have looked online and there are hundreds of other people reporting the same problem with no explanation from chrysler and no recall issued.

The day we bought our vehicle we started having issues. The car would crank and not start for several seconds. Would randomly (every few months) shut off while driving (leaving power brakes/steering unavailable) and randomly just not start at all. Now we are having many electrical failures daily for no less than 20 minutes at a time: horn on continuous honk, wipers going crazy, wiper fluid spraying out, car shutting down in very dangerous situations, locks going up and down, the front seat blower motor shutting off intermittently.also randomly the car will not 'shut off' when i take the key out. It's fully driveable without the key and the key opening is in the 'off' position. All of these things happen for about 20 minutes and then the car goes back to normal. When it's shut off, the car will not turn back on for apx 20 minutes. I was most recently stuck in a very dangerous intersection just as i was merging onto another freeway at the top of a clover-leaf intersection during rush-hour. Unable to get out of the vehicle and unable to start or move the vehicle - praying i wouldn't get hit, but i couldn't see because my wiper fluid was spraying at a constant speed and my wipers would not turn on. They've now 'guessed' that many of our issues are tipm related, but they're not guaranteeing that it will solve the problem and will cost $1200. They've ordered the party but i can't afford it! pay the mortgage, or death by chrysler? i have a copy of some codes that were pulled the first day of the 'daily' issues: u0141, p2533, c121c, b1a79, b10ec, p0691 - since then the list has more than doubled, but they did not provide me with a copy of the codes.i've contacted chrysler explaining that this car is leaving us in horribly dangerous situations, but they have no interest in helping out. I made sure to say my 'goodbyes' on their recorded lines.

I am very disappointed with the quality and service of the chrysler town and country 2008 and the chrysler corporation. On thanksgiving 2013 as my family and i prepared to attend our family dinner gathering we were left sitting as the car would not crank. We had some of the main course dishes including the turkey our thanksgiving was ruined. We were all devastated. The key read 'badkey' ,we tried everything we could to no avail. A few days later after more feverish attemptsthe car crank but we would have to attempt several times with in-between reading of badkey. I called chrysler dealership to find out how much to replace the key they said about $300.00, for a key! i found one online much cheaper took it to chrysler dealership only to be charged nearly $100.00 to program a key that takes about 5 minutes to do. August 15th 2014 i am preparing to go run errands and the car once again reads badkey. Finally after several attempts it cranks once more that day. Later that night and still right now its not working reading badkey. I ordered another key towed the car to chrysler again only to be told its the win module that needs to be replaced, its not reading the key to program it. I did some research and found out that this a recurring problem with the chrysler vehicles with the fob keys. I also found that there was a recall on the 2009 but not the 2008 win module;same issue in both vehicles. Countless people have complained about it only to be brushed off either you pay to fix it or your just out of a car. Thats absurd to not replace/recall a part that is clearly bad on the vehicle just different models.i wish i knew they didn't care about their customers before i purchased a chrysler 200 2014. I only hope its not such trash as the town and country. I am very disappointed in chrysler's handling of this issue. I will never purchase another vehicle with the chrysler name.

Vehicle ignition switch will occasionally revert from on to off postion with an audible click and car will immediately die.this has happened with the vehicle at rest, but has also commonly occured when making left hand turns at low speed.the vehicle is left coasting in whichever direction it was pointed as power steering assist is immediately lost.i have not been killed, but its obviously a dangerous situation.apparently a recall exists for 2010 model chrysler town and country minivans.it should be extended to include the 2008 that i have.its likely the same ignition part.
Along with the hundreds of complaints, i too have a problem with horn, lighting, wipers and fluid, car running with no key in ignition etc. While out of town the car had these happen and brought to a certified chrysler shop. They diagnosed as a bad battery connection after a mechanic driving to his home and back. I was sent on my way after paying $100. Not a large amount but silly when you have to bring the car to my local shop for the same problem three days later. This time it happened while driving at night in the middle of the road. I am appalled by how many complaints have been filed and there has not been a recall on this could be fatal defective part that is shutting down a car with no warning while driving. What do 90% of mini van drivers have in common? children!!! how unsafe and absurd. Fyi my car is going to be fixed under an extended warranty but this is a major safety concern for anyone that drives a chrysler van.

In one month our brakes have locked up on us while driving. This past time, a "flash flame" sparked, went out immediately but still smoked. Had both of my kids in car seats at the time. Towed to chrysler dealership and they "couldn't figure out the problem" so wanted us to pay $4,000 just to replace the entire brake system instead of taking their time to pin point what the problem could be. It was in the shop for 16 days and only 1 of those 16 days was it looked at. Then the gentlemen kept pushing blame on another company, etc. Then when we picked the van up, the engine light was on along with the steering wheel winding. Never has the engine light come on until it was in their hands. They are also stating that there was never a "flame", i had my family and a stranger help me at the scene and there was soot along with the brake line having some kind of damage from being melted. They are not helping us at all! this is a very dangerous matter!! we have read several forums with other people have this same issue and the rotors, brake pads, calipers continuously prematurely having to be replaced. I even emailed chrysler the links.

Same as complaint nhtsa id number: 10496186 and nhtsa id number: 1049507. The problem was a defective wire harness in the drivers side door. My vehicle had the air bag light intermittently going on/off in addition the these issues stated in these two complaints. I called chrysler then took it back to the dealer and said to re-check safety recall k25 which i already have had completed that had caused the air bag light to go on/off . As it turns out, because the drivers side electric door locks and window switches did not work, the mechanic found the wiring harness in the drivers side door was defective and replaced it. Now all the crazy flashing air bag light, dashboard warning lights, windshield wipers, interior lighting, ect ect have stopped. My 2008 town and country had the wiring harnesses recalled for the sliding side doors and i already had those harnesses replaced. This driver door harness problems were much worse because i never knew if the air bag had failed or was working properly. Everything works ok now that the driver side door wiring harness was replaced.
Occasionalnon start, like its a dead battery. Come back in 5 minutes and no problem starting.
The vehicle is subject to recall l25/nhtsa 14v-373. The engine shuts off during operation putting the driver and passengers at risk of harm.on one occasion, the shut down occurred when entering traffic.on another occasion it occurred in moderately heavy traffic while traveling on the interstate at 65 mph.the problem began in april 2012. The pattern is the same, after a series of shutdowns, the ignition locks up and the vehicle will not start.the vehicle is then towed to a chrysler dealership where repairs are performed at the owner's expense.the repair receipts indicate that chrysler replaces the transmitter and receiver (key fob).these repairs have been ineffective. The repair lasts for a few months and then the problem resurfaces.the most recent incident occurred on december 23, 2014.after a series of shutoffs, the engine wouldn't start.the vehicle was towed to the chrysler dealership where it is presently located.on december 24, 2014, the chrysler dealership refused to repair the vehicle, stating that chrysler will not authorize the work.on december 26, 2014, the manufacture was informed of the problem via telephone discussion on the chrysler recall assistance hotline (800-853-1403).the call was unproductive.chrysler refuses to make any repairs until the spring of 2015 under recall l25/nhtsa 14v-373.the vehicle will not start and is unusable in its current condition. The vehicle is the owners sole source of transportation for work and family related needs.chrysler is unwilling to provide a rental car replacement until repairs are made in spring of 2015.since chrysler has failed or is unable to remedy this defect without charge within a reasonable time, the owner is making this complaint to the administrator, national highway traffic safety administration and to the kentucky attorney general.
While driving down the road the road i hear a light click and the engine shuts down, and steering becomes locked and i have to put the car in park to restart the vehicle.when this continued to happen after i heard the click i would look down and the key has moved from the on position to the acc position.this has happened multiple times since 11-14-2012 and happened a lot during 2013, i finally called chrysler in august of 2013 when the van shut down while driving and one time while sitting in line at the bank and that same day while making a left hand turn and almost got hit as lots of traffic during rush hour.i took the van to avondale dodge and they finally replaced the fuel pump as they found it was cracked this was in october of 2013,so my claim was closed with chrysler.van shut down again on 12-22-13 while looking at christimas lights in my community.there have been several other incidents since 12-22-13 that my van has shut down the latest being on 6-4-14 while driving on the 101 freeway going 65 miles an hour.i had to think quick and i remember that my son who has a 2005 dodge ram had this same issue with his truck and he told me to put the transmission into neutral and restart the van as it was coasting and then put it back into drive. The van restarted and i was able to get to my destination and back home without issue.i called chrysler on 6-6-14 to report that the issue continues and that it happened on the freeway this last time.they started a new claim and had me take it back to larry h. Miller avondale dodge.the dealer can still not recreate the issue!i fear for the safety of myself, children and grandchildren.
Ignition dies. Loses power steering and brakes.have to coast to a stop off the road.after stopping the van the engine does restart.has done it 20 times.took van to dealer to check out problem in april 2014 and dealer could find no problem but updated the firmware on the ecu(s) - 6 updates.after this update the engine has not died while driving. I hope the condition is not related to our warmer weather in the last 8 weeks.

Wife took son to doctors office and van ran fine. Came out of office and car would not shift out of park nor would it start. Like a dead battery. Have a brand new battery in the car so that is not the issue. After trying to start the car with a jump several times we gave up. I then tried one more time and the car started. After car was started i touched the key fob in the ignition and the car shut off.was able to get the car to start by wiggling the fob as i turned the car over. Now on 10/04/13 car is doing the same thing except this time it did it while going down the road. Car shut off after hitting a bump in the road and i was able to coast to a stop. Luckily there were no stop signs or cars ahead of me since there is no power to the brakes. Got the car started again and it is the same way every time now. Have to giggle the fob in the ignition cylinder to get it to start. Seems to be a major safety issue here. And to find out that this is under recall for the exact same part for the 2009 models is troubling since some of the later 2008 models also have the same faulty ignition switch. Seems to me that chrysler needs to man up to this and do the right thing.
The fan stays on even when the car is off. It is draining the battery and i have to diaconnect the battery just to turn the fan off.

Events leading to failure are just standard driving conditions in traffic or interstate. Van completely loses power momentarily causing the transmission to slam back into gear and abruptly halt forward motion. All headlights go out causing zero vision. Dealers has serviced 4 times w/ absolutely no resolution. This is a serious injury or death situation just waiting to happen.
The van randomly shuts off while driving down the road. The dash lights come on , sometimes the windshield wipers come on and the van loses all power. It makes it incredibly hard to steer and navigate safely. This has happened numerous times and at different speeds. It has happened on the highway at 60 mph as well as a main street going 25 mph.
I bought a second hand 2008 chryshler van town and country it stop at any time while driving dealer didn t send the recall only mention the air bag but the problem is more than that transmission is affected it won t shift changing speed.

3 occasions driving my 3 children to school my town and country became unresponsive. The steering failed, brakes and the car went unresponsive. The electric stability control warning light came on. To remedy, i had to put car in park, and restart vehicle.the last instance when this occurred i rolled into a four way stop as my breaks did not work. An online search has shown many other have experienced this issue with the dodge caravan and town & country both made by chrysler.took van to dealer who said diagnostic test showed nothing (other people report this same experience). They updated the pcm software. I find it hard to believe a software update would render my car safe to drive and be the factor that caused it's whole system, brakes included to shut down.this issue needs to be looked at. Mini van drivers carry children!
While i was driving on the on-ramp to a highway my car hit a bump and lost control and i started sliding. Thankfully there happened to be no one coming. I noticed that when my van stopped halfway in a ditch and halfway on the left lane i went to move my vehicle it wouldn't move so i then noticed it was off but still in drive and the key was still on. So i put it in park and shut it off then turned it back on then was able to proceed driving but since then my esp/bas, and traction control light have been on. After having that happened i had the recall on my van fixed. Well the lights are still there and now the driving is worse. I cant control my steering and they say it is my steering angle sensor. They also say my catalytic converter needs fixed and a pcm flash. Which i don't understand how all these problems started since my ignition unwillingly shut off. I am thinking that caused a power surge, and now its going to cost me $2000 to fix it if not more. My problems now are:1) misfire in cylinder 42) rough idle3) accelerating slowly while rpm's are above 30004) stumbling while driving (shakes or vibrates really bad while in drive/ or putters)5) esp/bas, traction control, and check engine light illuminated on dash6) steering wheel shakes from left to right on its own7) loud engine noise8) motor shakes9) abs reader says to replace steering angle sensor (clockspring)10) there is more i just cannot think of it right now. This is currently what i have fixed in the last two weeks to see if it helps the problem.1) oil change (always up to date)2) spark plugs3) spark plug wires4) battery5) ignition coil pack6) upstream o2 sensor7) recall done on win module ignition switch fobik keyi have contacted chrysler to inform them of this and they tell me there is nothing they can do about it and its not a manufacture defect.
Four lights on dash came on - abs, traction control, esp and brake lightscode is c 2200code is for the abs modulelights remain oni feel this is a safety problem and should be chrysler's job to fixon second day i had to get hard on the brakes to avoid someone who turned in front of me and i flat spotted the tires which were only 7 days old.
June 8 & 9 car was locked and going into store and was away from car. Horns went solid, both wipers went high speed. Windshield washer spayed, lights flashing, security alarm started. Tried remote buttons and finally stopped.june 12, car sitting in drive unlocked for a couple hours. Open door to lock the car. The horn went on solid, wipers both front and back went high speed, lights flashing. Tried to take keys and turn on the car and nothing. Intermittent door locks and unlocks. Soon the horn changed pitches and acted like security alarm on,. Wiper fluid started running. Tried remote but did stop.fan was running on condenser. Finally unhooked battery to stop.
The vehicle has an ongoing inability to start without any issues being found. The alternator was replaced, the battery was replaced, the radiator was repaired with the thought that was an issue. The doors open on their own, not just unlock but open. The stability control is always going on even after being repaired and repairing any possible causes. The incidents occur in both stationary and in motion the causes are still unknown.
Various odb codes involving tipm issues, which has now progressed to vehicle stalling while driving down the highway and city streets.
Warning light comes on while driving.will usually turn off after rebooting.
Windshield wipers, horn, washer fluid, and lights inside and outside of vehicle randomly go off and wont stop unless the battery is disconnected.this will also cause the car to start on its own and wont turn off if already running. Took to a mechanic and they said it was the clock spring but it only lasted for a couple of months and is now doing the same thing. Check engine light came on and is showing again a problem with the ecm. I have looked online and there are hundreds of other people reporting the same problem with no explanation from chrysler and no recall issued.
My vehicle shuts off while driving making it very dangerous.the ignition switch clicks and the van shuts down at the same timeconsequence:if the ignition key inadvertently moves into the off or accessory position, the engine will turn off, which will then depower various key safety systems including but not limited to air bags, power steering, and power braking. Loss of functionality of these systems may increase the risk of crash and/or increase the risk of injury in the event of a crash. This is what i found out to be the issue in most cases. There was a recall back on june 2014; they fix that problem in my vehicle on june 2015; now is back again; they say there is no recall on this problem, but it continues resurfacing.this problem happened four ( 4 ) time in the month of november 2016 already during driving time ( vehicle in motion); also some times won't even start right away; back in 2014 it was call: recall campaign id is: 14v373000 dated june 26, 2014. Could be recall l25 or r03. Not sure which one is the correct, they have told me r03.
1. While driving the esp indicator light and engine comes on and wheels automatically go into slow mode (as if i were on ice). I manually shut off button. Took it to dealer and said the coil in my steering module is bad, needs replacing. I complained of van having hard shifting in accel and decel. Fault code c1210-steering angle sensor2. The engine light reports that i have a bad egr valve, needs replacing. Found code p1404 & code p0404.
I received a recall notice 3 months ago.the dealer said they would order parts and call me when they come in.i have been waiting now for three months.i have contacted them to check on the parts and they continue to say it is still on order.if this was a safety issue as the recall explains you think someone would want this fixed sooner.no one seems in a rush to get it done.
All four brake system lights are lite up. Steering has become loose and steering wheel wobbles. I have changed the pads on brakes 4 times in a year and my rotors are still very grooved. Dust is sucking up into the cab of the vehicle for no reason. There is a knocking coming from the engine that sometimes is there but most of the time its present was told by the dealer i bought from that was normal in these vans. Has a hard time coming to a stop now. I can not believe this has not been recalled codes on machine that are indicated are c2200 and c2205 which are ridiculous to buy and from what i have read everyone is having problems with them
When driving at 30 mph esp/ bas/abs & brake lights appear on the dash,then steering became difficult .we are so grateful it's not on the highway.
The van will shut offwhile driving on the road the steering and brakes didn't work, i have to make sure i make it to the side of the road because it doesn't always want to start. It could be 5 or 10 minutes before i get it to start and i have had to leave it on the side of the road over night until the next day and have a tow truck pick it up.. I could of been killed or killed someone else. The horn, windshield wipers and window wiper water is spraying, flash lights flashing randomly go on at any time some times while i'm driving, some times late at night and the only way to stop all of this is to disconnect the battery or let it keep going until the battery drains. The speedometer goes on when i open the door but when i turn the vehicle on the speedometer goes off/blank. This scares me i'm afraid to drive it!
Have been trying for over 6 months to get ignition recall ro3 replaced .dealer claims never to get parts from chrysler, i am still number 21 on waiting least and dealer gets 1 replacement part every 6 weeks.
While driving my car shuts off in the middle of driving wipers starts flashingdash boardgoes hey wire check engine light comes on and its very hard to steer and wont start. Then after a few hours it might star back up or days later.
While driving on the road the motor dies as if i turned it off, so of course it's difficult to steer. I managed to get off to the side of the road. I decided to put it in neutral and try to start it. It started and off i went. Several days later the same thing happened so as i was coasting along, i just put it in neutral and was able to continue on. This has happenedperiodically over the past few years. Also, awhile ago, i pulled into my parking place at work and just as i was getting ready to turn the ignition off, everything went wild, horn honking, alarm going off, both front and back windshield wipers going full bore with the washer fluid spraying out! this continued for several minutes even though the key was out of the ignition! it finally stopped, all the washer fluid ran out! this has happened periodically over the past couple years. It happened a few months ago and wouldn't stop until we unhooked the battery. I'm told it is a faulty power module! that's crazy, never in my life has anything like this hypo me with a vehicle! i think chrysler should stand behind this faulty part. It could have caused me to have an accident but luckily has not! can't really afford a new part or vehicle!
While driving the vehicle the temperature, miles to the gallon, direction the car is facing goes dark. Then the warning lights, gas gauge, tachometer, speed flash on & off and the vehicle will try to stall or turn off. While the warning lights are flashing the vehicle feels like it is cutting out and will die out. I have several videos of it happening.
Coasting or in a decelercation situation the cars stalls without warning, radio still on, the only notice that the engine has stalled is loss of power steering, the only light that comes on is the traction control light. This has happened over 20 times. Have taken to the dealer no less than 6 times but no codes set and unable to diagnose the problem.
The problems i experienced included:1.car stopping while driving2.ignition sticks and turns for extended period, then starts3.ignition does not start, just clicks, the starts after several tries.i put in new starter for $400 that did not fix it.chrysler recommended replacement of the win module at my cost of $800 to fix this problem.said repair should fix all of this issues.they said it was warranty repair and to send in payment receipts for reimbursement.it appears that this was a recall from 2011 under the same l25.this repair was done on 8/22/2014 and did not fix the problem.have not been reimbursed.chrysler then acknowledged another updated l25 recall and that the fix will permanently repair van and fix all issues.they sent official recall notice undated but received by me on 9/15/2014.parts to permanently fix this defect are unavailable currently.i have not driven the vehicle since 9/5/2014 because i do not feel safe in it, as it has stopped on the road previously.the letter states that vehicle may stop, increasing the risk of crash and injury, but that i should go ahead and drive it anyways.what!!as a responsible and safe person, i choose not to drive this rather than take the risk.how can you issue recall but not have the parts to fix it?they do not even have a time frame.how can i expedite recall repairs?what legal recourse do i have?i don't want this car anymore.will it be safe even when they finally get the proper parts and repair it?i am very upset with this issue, as well as the loss of use of my vehicle for an extended time, inconvenience, mental distress, and additional costs.this is totally irresponsible and lacking in care by chrysler. This is the same problem gm had with many injuries and deaths.how many people must get hurt or die?i will not buy another product from them.
The vehicle electrical system failed while the car was in use.there was no power to any system in the car except the rear wiper kept going even after the engine key was removed.lights would randomly come on and off while the car was off until the battery ran down.the dealer said the tipm or (totally integrated power module) failed.i was lucky me or my family was not injured over this failure.
2008 town and country touring.driving with cruise control going about 65mph and all of sudden the engine accelerated and then slowed down and i had to turn off the cruise control and hit the gas peddle finally kicked in normally.good thing i was not in city driving going 50mph and had this happen.
The contact owns a 2008 chrysler town and country. While driving approximately 30 mph, the vehicle stalled and all the warning indicators illuminated. The contact stated that the failure occurred approximately eight times. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who determined that the totally integrated power module failed and needed replacement. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 160,000. Consumer stated independent dealer works for dealership and owns their own diagnostic testing module.
I made an appointment for the recall to be fixed. The dealer called me the night before and said the part was used for another customer.i made the second appointment for june 26, 2015. The dealer called the day before and confirmed.i got to the dealer at 8:10am.at 9:15am a sales associate came out and told me that the part was not there.i wasted my time and am very disappointed!! i do not have anything positive to say about chrysler.their customer service is the worst i have ever had to deal with as a consumer.this is one week later and not even the manager has called me.i will never ever purchase with chrysler again!!
There seems to be an issue with the clockspring mechanism in the steering column of the 2008 t&c vans.mine went out and when the mechanic tried to get one from the local dealer he was told that it is backordered along with several hundred backordered.obviously this is an issue that needs to be addressed as it affects many items.
While i am driving my 2008 chrysler town and country it shuts off without warning. When this happens i am usually driving less than 35mph but it is very difficult to control the van due to a loss of power steering, electric, and gas control. I usually have to apply the brake, shift it in neutral, and wait for the engine to restart (which sometimes stalls for a few seconds). This is very concerning to me as a parent with 3 children who usually travel with me and it happens frequently--so far up to 6 times in 1 day.
My tipm module needs to be replaced but since there is a national shortage for this part. I like thousands of others have to wait 6-9 months before there will be any available. This part has been on back order for a very long time. Chrysler is very lucky that no one has been seriously hurt.
On 6/25, while driving down the highway i experienced some type of a power surge.the car started bucking, the a/c went off the horn started going off, the wipers started going off, the engine started revving.i was able to get off the parkway and pull into a parking lot.the things kept on happening until i turned the vehicle off.i tried to restart the vehicle, but it seemed like the vehicle was dead.nothing worked.i had to have the vehicle towed to my house. On 6/27 i tried to start the vehicle and it srarted right up.i turned it off and tried to restart it, but again everything was dead.on 6/30 without doing anything the lights in the vehicle started flashing, the rear windshield washer started squirted washer fluid until it was empty, but the washer motor kept on operating.this lasted for about 20 minutes until it finally stopped. I attemptd to start the vehicle, but once again everything was dead.i was actually afraid while i was driving the vehicle, because of all the safety implications. When is a safety recall going to be issued?these problems could have deadly results.
The car didnt start. I have had the starter abd battery replced within the past year. Each have been tested multiple time because this isnt and isolated incident. I go to turn the car on i have hed the fobik replaced but the problem still exists. The car eventually started after an hour.
While in motion on a city street the vehicle's engine, power steering, and brakes shut down.luckily no accident, but had to come to a stop on city street while travelling with traffic to restart vehicle.electrical system appeared to be operating but had to use manual power to steer and stop the vehicle - no power from engine.this has happened about 6 or 7 times, but three times in past week.
During the past three months all of a sudden the horn starts blowing erratically, the windshield washers and wipers activate, lights start flashing, the doors lock automatically and the transmission will not shift into high.this has happened five or six times since aug., having occurred four times in the past three weeks.it happens while the car is running and while it is not.with each incident the symptoms become worse and the duration is longer.last week, i had to pull off the road and wait five or ten minutes for it to stop as i could not see where i was going.yesterday, it occurred while sitting in the garage and i had to disconnect the battery to stop it.the chrysler dealer says it is the total integrated power module that needs to be replaced @$524.12.additionally now at 54,000 miles the front rotors are warped and need to be replaced @ $409.they had to be replaced @ 25,834 and 35,272.when the brakes are applied the front end and steering vibrate uncontrollably.both conditions are safety issues, have been well document by hundreds of people, and are obvious inherent defects in the vehicle, and should be issues that result in a recall of these vehicles and repairs or replacements made at chrysler's expense, yet they continue to deny there is an inherent problem.both issues could result in a serious accident.
Dashboard warning light esp/bas illuminated.i brought the vehicle to the dealer to see what was wrong.the dealer diagnosed the problem and found that the "steering angle sensor" was bad.the steering "clock spring" was suggested to be replaced due to the fact that the "steering angle sensor" was part of a whole unit (the clock spring) and cannot be changed separately.my vehicle was just out of warranty at 36,000 miles and was no longer covered.i am concerned that the bad part is connected to the vehicle stability system and why it has failed so early in the life of the vehicle.
Along with the hundreds of complaints, i too have a problem with horn, lighting, wipers and fluid, car running with no key in ignition etc. While out of town the car had these happen and brought to a certified chrysler shop. They diagnosed as a bad battery connection after a mechanic driving to his home and back. I was sent on my way after paying $100. Not a large amount but silly when you have to bring the car to my local shop for the same problem three days later. This time it happened while driving at night in the middle of the road. I am appalled by how many complaints have been filed and there has not been a recall on this could be fatal defective part that is shutting down a car with no warning while driving. What do 90% of mini van drivers have in common? children!!! how unsafe and absurd. Fyi my car is going to be fixed under an extended warranty but this is a major safety concern for anyone that drives a chrysler van.
While driving the van the windshield wipers came on, instrument panel lights began to flash, doors locked and unlocked and the engine lost power. The alarm system went off and could not be turned off. This has happened several times when driving and all the power is lost to the power steering, engine and lights.it is a very dangerous situation as it can happen on the freeway as well as on a city street. We have been stranded so many times and have fears to drive this van anywhere!we were stranded in seattle on a city street and had to wait two hours for a tow truck to tow it to the nearest dealer there. When it arrived at the dealer it was late afternoon and the mechanic agreed that the systems were not 'communicating' with each other but he would check it out in the morning...by the morning, the van was not doing it's craziness and the mechanic said he could find nothing wrong with it! we have had the local dealer check it out and they cannot seem to find the problem, but obviously there is a problem. Why can't chrysler figure this out? it is dangerous and scary and our beloved van is no longer reliable transportation for our family. Nhtsa....there have been so many complaints about this problem...it needs to be addressed and, yes, it is a safety issue, big time! we need your help to get chrysler to figure out what is going on with these vans. It is as if they are 'possessed by the devil' help us please! what else can we do?
Had to take my van on 11/10/14 tate dodege chrysler jeep.inc.i place an call to chrysler group recall assistance center.about the problems with on going issue with my van, pay $335.35 for clock spring which restore an not working horn,speed control,ele.stability control,air bag light stay on,radio control.what i just paid for was an recall starting 1998 until now, i am planning on sending in my paper work.i send into your offices paperwork about all the other issues and problems i am having with my van wireless module,vehicle started,key stuck in on position,remold start not working properly,wireless ignition node modue (l25 safety recall l25,csn 1).and more.
Clockspring causing electrical malfunction very similar to that in which was a recall on this same vehicles just a few years prior.seat belt light flashes and dings even when seatbelts are locked while driving. Abs lights come on periodically while driving, vehicle gear shift locks while vehicle is in park running causing vehicle to have to be shut off before it will release. Cruise control malfunctions while driving. Done research to other owners of this vehicle style and others have complained of similar findings, however seems noone has contacted you yet. When these problems started they have been an ongoing issue daily.
The cars alarm goes off and winshieild wipers and sqirts windsheild washer fluid when car is off and only way to make it stop is disconnecting the battery. Also when we were on tge expressway the windsheild wipers went off and the minivans brakes went on by themselves.
I bought a brand new 2008 town and country in dec. 2007. For four years it didn't have a problem except for the whirring sound. This problem of tipm probably appeared about two years ago when the van suddenly overheated along the freeway while driving just about 12 miles from my home. The service center said that there was a leaking hose in the cooling system but i told them that prior to that the wiper just started to move without turning it on. The service center apparently fixed it. But the same thing has been happening on and off. All the service center can say is it is drivable. About two months ago it overheated again, and my wife who was using the car had it towed to the chrysler service center close to where the car stalled. That is the carpros in renton, washington, who said that the problem again was the coolant system hose that was leaking, also something about the timing belt that needed to be changed, the cylinder head gasket that needed to be changed. While i have an extended warranty they were charging too much so i had it towed to the service center where i bought the car. This service center fixed the cylinder head, got the car back but still it has the same problem of windshield turning on, lights going on and off in the instrument panel, dinging sound going on and off even while driving, driver seat rocking back and forth. I sent it back to the service center where i bought it from and this time they finally said that it is the tipm that is causing the problem. They told me that the electronic board was changed totally and was reprogrammed. But the following day, it still has the same problem.
I experienced an unintended engine shutoff at 40 mph. I pushed the gear selector from "drive" into "neutral"to get a quick restart. No fault lights showed up on my instrument cluster.this happened once more in february and once more in march of this year.i received an l25 recallletter from chrysler in the summer of 2014. What is taking so long to get replacement parts? can't you encourage them to complete this recall asap?
Engine shuts down completely causing loss of power steering and brakes. No warnings, just dies. Diagnostics reveal a bad totally integrated power module. Recalls issued for multiple models but not mine. I was told, i have all the symptoms but i don't have the flu ! now they want almost $ 1000 to fix it ! it's an established, defective part but they'll let me drive away in it unless i can come up with the money. Chrysler said it's the same part as the recalled ones but i don't have a recall on my model. Ant time any where at any speed, it shuts down.

Unexpected engine shutdown while in motion driving resulting in loss of brakes or steering.this has been happening for 5 years with many visits to the dealership and various repairs, none of which has resulted in returning the vehicle to us in a safe state.my wife and i are 79 years of age and have no faith in the vehicle which we purchased new with the extra extended warranty.
I was dring when i notice temperature gage going up i pull over to check and i begging to smell gas so i open the resoirver for cooling fluid in i some) a strong odor of gas i took to mechanic and they stated it is a possible leak in the head gasket
I was driving down the road going between 35-40 mph and my car shut off.the radio and headlights were working but the engine was off, the power steering stopped working and the brakes were not working correctly.i tried to steer on the road but was approaching a stop sign where cross traffic did not stop.so i ended up pulling into the front yard of someone's house to slow and finally stop the car.the front yard was large so luckily i did not hit any mailboxes or houses.my car had shut off in 3 other incidences but i wasn't going as fast and i was in a residential neighborhood so i was able to let the car roll to a stop and no one was hurt.we use this car as a family car and i am worried that someone is going to get hurt if this happens again.i have called the closest dealership several times and chrysler and no one seems to be able to help me.they all of told me that nothing can be done without a certain part that is not available.when i call the dealership they forward me to chrysler and when i spoke to the person at chrysler they forward me to the dealership.
While traveling at speeds less than 40 mph, and typically within 5 minutes of starting, the vehicle will shut down all power (engine, electrical, and brakes) while driving, making it very hard to stop the vehicle, and very dangerous . I have taken it to the dealer and they stated it was overheating and result of the coolant system leaking, which we had them fix, and problem continues to occur.there was no way it was overheating that quickly after starting.dealer has refused to look at other postings online that suggest this is a prevalent problem, and unrelated to the coolant system.
Oil tank is empty after 1,000 miles! this can cause major problems! vehicle only has 50,000 miles on it! nobody should have to check their oil level every time they fill up gas!

Just yesterday "3-7-2015" driving at a slow speed my vehicle shut off, this is the 3rd time that it happened.driving at a higher speed which i need to do makes this very dangerous.i did contact chrysler group recall assistance on feb 24 of this year and talked to a [xxx] and had a very valuable discussion, she told me to go to our closest chrysler dealer and replace the part, pay for it and chrysler would refund and when the new part was available to install that.i went to the dealer and they would not install it unless they got approval from the chrysler engineers.the dealer was tempe dodge/chrysler/jeep in tempe, az.i believe [xxx] did speak with someone at that dealer.i have tried to contact your office several times and listened to you voice mail for hours without being connected. I am very concerned as our lives are at risk until this is repaired and chrysler is responsibly.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

Car will just shutoff without warning.had the car into the dealer several times and they found nothing wrong. We received the safety recall in january 2015 regarding this issue. Contacted the dealer who stated they don't have the parts.waited and contacted them again in april and they still don't have the parts.contacted chrysler jeep directly who confirmed that the recall is legit and responded with this "thank you for your response. I have confirmed the vehicle does currently have the l25 win module detent ring recall. Regrettably, the parts to complete this recall are not available. We do not have a timeframe at this point for part availability. I will forward your moms information to your special tracking team. This will insure you are notified as soon as parts become available. We will send you an email advising your when you can return to the dealership for repairs. We respect your frustration with this issue and thank you for your patience."this is a safety issue.the car completely shuts off no matter how fast you are moving.someone could get seriously hurt or killed.how can chrysler not have the parts.
Brakes wear out and stop working every 10k miles.engine consumes 1 quart of oil every 800 miles with no visible leaking or dripping.
This has happened to us three times in the last three weeks.shortly after starting the car we traveled less than a mile at about 25 mph and the engine suddenly turned off causing the power steering and breaks to fail.the van restarted one we put it in park and continued to work fine after that.we were driving in a crowded neighborhood where children play at the time.
Van shuts down while driving.loses power brakes and power steering.this has happened at least 5 times in past two years.
Van intermittently stalls at low speed unexpectedly. Gauges will fail at high speed, but has only died at low speeds. Occurs when cold outside. Must turn ignition off and on again to start.sometimes must put in gear and back to park first.
The engine light has come on off 4 times since june 2014.
The van would stop at low speeds with loss of steering and braking power. No codes would be triggered, it was as if the ignition was just turned off while driving.the electrical power would still be on like the radio and instrumentation panel but the steering and braking would tighten up; very scary feeling. It has happened to my wife driving the kids eight to ten times and myself two times. The dealer said the ignition recall would take care of the problem but i think it is something else (took dealer 6 months to get the part in after our first incident). It got so bad that my wife would have me warm up and drive the van around before she would use it.after my experiences with the issue my procedure to her is to place the transmission in neutral while the van is still rolling and restart the car (this is only in the case of possibly being rear ended).also, the traction control light would flicker right at engine cut off but no engine light. Five days before the appointment for the recall, my wife with kids and parent were in the van entering an on-ramp to the freeway when the engine cut off again causing the van to rear end the car in front.the accident totaled the van even though the speed was around 8mph; no airbag deployment.chrysler opened an investigation but found no evidence of any failure from the vehicle.how can they find anything when no codes are triggered when the engine cuts off?

My vehicle will shut off while i'm driving. It's been an ongoing issue. There are no lights that come on, on the dashboard that indicate any error, except the antilock break light will occasionally light up. I could be driving slow or fast, it makes no difference, it will just shut off, and the power steering and brakes lose power and don't work. This is very dangerous and can easily cause an accident. I have done some research online and have also seen this exact same problem with hundreds upon hundreds of other consumers with the same make and model. People have taken their vehicles to chrysler dealerships and mechanics and no one can figure out the cause. This is a huge safety issue. I have small children, 2 still in carseats, and my youngest who is 1 is handicap. I am scared to drive it. I still owe $10,000 on my auto loan for this car, so i am stuck with it. It seems like this is a defective vehicle, since so many others are having the same mystery safety issue.

My wife was driving home late one night from work and the minivan just died while she was driving. When the van was taken to the repair shop, the motor was blown - valve seats all dropped in one of the heads and all of the main bearings in the crank case had disintegrated! since the day we bought this van used with 24,000 miles it had a problem of "using or eating" oil at about 1 quart for every 1,000 miles. When i contacted chrysler, i was told that this was normal!! i was flabbergasted as i have never owned a car (i've had over 15) that used oil like this minivan did. It didn't burn it or leak, it was being used somehow. Needless to say, it was out of warranty and we were left with a $3,500 bill to replace the motor. When i contacted chrysler, i got no response. Please check online for a website called repair pal - there are literally thousands more cases of this happening. I find it hard to believe that this is something normal. It seems chrysler knew something as they came out with a new 3.6 pentastar motor to replace these ailing motors in 2011-2012 and all newer models. Hopefully there are more people just like my wife and i here who have had the same problem.

Numerous times the car engine/ignition has shut off while driving. All power assist are then disabled. We have been lucky that so far each event has not been on freeway driving and we were able to sluggishly steer the car to the side of the road.we have filed this complaint with our dealer and with chrysler but are still waiting for recall action. We have been told by our dealership (larry moore chrysler-peoria , az. That the parts for our model year are not even available yet?? what happens if we are in an accident due to this defect??seems unconscionable that chrysler admits the problem (finally), puts out recalls, knows it is a huge safety issue and then is not prompt in settling the matter?

While driving down the road the road i hear a light click and the engine shuts down, and steering becomes locked and i have to put the car in park to restart the vehicle.when this continued to happen after i heard the click i would look down and the key has moved from the on position to the acc position.this has happened multiple times since 11-14-2012 and happened a lot during 2013, i finally called chrysler in august of 2013 when the van shut down while driving and one time while sitting in line at the bank and that same day while making a left hand turn and almost got hit as lots of traffic during rush hour.i took the van to avondale dodge and they finally replaced the fuel pump as they found it was cracked this was in october of 2013,so my claim was closed with chrysler.van shut down again on 12-22-13 while looking at christimas lights in my community.there have been several other incidents since 12-22-13 that my van has shut down the latest being on 6-4-14 while driving on the 101 freeway going 65 miles an hour.i had to think quick and i remember that my son who has a 2005 dodge ram had this same issue with his truck and he told me to put the transmission into neutral and restart the van as it was coasting and then put it back into drive. The van restarted and i was able to get to my destination and back home without issue.i called chrysler on 6-6-14 to report that the issue continues and that it happened on the freeway this last time.they started a new claim and had me take it back to larry h. Miller avondale dodge.the dealer can still not recreate the issue!i fear for the safety of myself, children and grandchildren.
While traveling at a reduced rate of speed, my 2008 town and country van shuts off.this has happened several times and has happened multiple times in a day.it is very frightening to be driving along and the engine shuts off and the vehicle loses all power.i have been told that my vehicle is under a ignition node recall.today, i called my dealer and the representative claimed to have never heard of the town and country shutting off while driving.i have seen many instances of this on the internet and have trouble believing the dealer has not heard of this.i am concerned for our safety while driving this car.please advise as to what action i should take.
This van has been shutting down while drivingto often now. It is now a case number with chrysler but no one has solved the problem it is now back in the dealer for the 4th time on this incident. We experienced more than once very near accidents on busy roads. Too dangerous to drive. I can't believe the amount of problems with these chrysler's shutting down and from what i reviewed on line there are different years involved. I have the 2008 one and they recalled the 2009 ones. But i really think they need to re do the e2008 from the amount of people i have read reviews on. All owners of 2008. Very serious issue.

"takata recall"while driving on a normal street the car will just turn off. I will lose control of steering, brakes and the ability of driving it. After the vehicle stops, i put it in park and starts back up.
I got in the van andit woul not start. I continued to turn the fobik until it started. I drove the van to chrysler dealer in collierville tennessee. They installed a win kit.

It started and off i went. Several days later the same thing happened so as i was coasting along, i just put it in neutral and was able to continue on. This has happenedperiodically over the past few years. Also, awhile ago, i pulled into my parking place at work and just as i was getting ready to turn the ignition off, everything went wild, horn honking, alarm going off, both front and back windshield wipers going full bore with the washer fluid spraying out! this continued for several minutes even though the key was out of the ignition! it finally stopped, all the washer fluid ran out! this has happened periodically over the past couple years. It happened a few months ago and wouldn't stop until we unhooked the battery. I'm told it is a faulty power module! that's crazy, never in my life has anything like this hypo me with a vehicle! i think chrysler should stand behind this faulty part. It could have caused me to have an accident but luckily has not! can't really afford a new part or vehicle!

My 2008 town & country burns a lot of oil. There are no leaks or wet spots under the hood or on the ground. I have to add a quart of oil every 100 miles. My research shows that a majority, if not all, of the other owners of this vehicle are experiencing the same issue. Kindly look in to issuing a recall for this problem. Thank you.

Engine extremely burns oil, no leaks have been found. Car has 70mmiles however it has burned oil like this since i bought it at 28m.miles. I have tried many oils and non have helped. I notice that online there is a ton of complaints with others. What can be done to help me solve this problem. I burn 2 qts every 1500 miles. No blue smoke where is it going?
The 3.8l engine in the van uses 1 qt of oil every 1,000 miles.it has been doing it since we bought the van.mechanic checked it out and there is nothing wrong and said it's "normal." it shouldn't be normal for a 2008, that is a problem from 1968!concern for running out of oil and blowing an engine causing an accident.
The van has been maintained by only the dealer from day one!the past few times i have had my oil changed, i keep having to add oil myself in between changes.wow, so i thought maybe the dealer messed up or didn't add enough oil, but now here i am doing it again.two days ago i added 1/2 qt, well only about 30 miles later, it is low again.really?no leaks, but no oil.so frustrating also because the light has only ever came on once.i have heard a chime 2x, and both times, it has led me to check to the oil, but never a light again.this van has had multiple problems from day one, and the dealer service department is terrible,what are they waiting on for the recall?when the van cuts off in the middle of an intersection and someone gets killed?
The contact owns a 2008 chrysler town and country. While driving 25 mph, the vehicle stalled. The contact was able to restart the vehicle. The failure recurred on numerous occasions. The vehicle was taken to a dealer who was unable to diagnose or repair the vehicle. The vehicle was previously repaired under nhtsa campaign number: 14v373000 (air bags, electrical system). The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 80,000.
The tipm is a cause of the vehicle horn honking, wipers moving on their own, wiper fluid spraying, and the lights flashing by themselves. I have had the vehicle randomly stall by itself on the highway while my wife was driving it and this has happened several times. These issues seem to mysteriously go away when i try to diagnose the issue. Last week the battery died and because of it being a few years old and now being in the winter, i decided to replace it only to have it die again a day later. Took the vehicle to a mechanic who tested the charging system and said it was all good. Then proceeded to do a parasitic draw test where he determined that the tipm was causing the issues. I did some google searches and found that this is a wide stream problem with many owners of various chrysler vehicles having the same issue. This is not safe especially when the vehicle shuts down while driving it and there are no power brakes or steering capabilities. A person could end up in a terrible accident or even be killed not to mention other drivers being at risk also. Doesn't seem to make much sense that chrysler is dragging this on and not doing anything not to mention that i can't even order the part because it's on a national back order. This has happened several times in the last year and a few times last year but the tech was unable to correctly diagnose the issue.
Car started smoking on near drivers side with an awful smell. Was able to drive to a dealer who determined that the radiator needed to be replaced.i paid over $950 dollars.as i drove away from the dealership, the same smell and smoking occurred.i took the vehicle to pep boys where it was determined that the rear heater hose assembly needed to be replace. From what i can determine from researching that chrysler knows the "y" plastic part is faulty and does not sell just the "y" part of the unit. Consumers are forced into buying a heater hose and line assembly for over $100. The dealership did not take responsibility for this.
I am a 29 year old male.i am severely disabled (quadriplegic).i drive a modified 2008 chrysler t&c van with special steering and brake controls and a wheel chair lift.i have owned and driven my van 3 years.it has been extremely well maintained.it must be a safe and reliable vehicle because of my special needs and physical limitations.it is the only vehicle on the planet that i can drive.about a month ago, i took my van into chris myers chrysler, daphne, al, where they replaced my ignition switch and key fob per safety recall #14v373000.on fri july 15, 2016, i went to drive my van to the grocery store.i pressed the door open button on my newly provided key fob and the van immediately went berserk.just about every electrically powered device on the van exploded into operation - all at the same instance - wiper blades on ultra high speed, rear window washer spewing fluid, horn blasting, fan motors roaring - and on and on!confined to my wheelchair, there was nothing i could do to stop the craziness from the van.all the neighbors in my apartment complex were now out in the parking lot witnessing all the outrageous things the van was doing.i eventually had to get the hood open and disconnected the battery to put a stop to the vehicle self destructing.with a friends help (a friend with some vehicle mechanic expertise), we checked all fuses - all were okay.we were not able to start the van - the van was completely "dead"!my friend manages an auto parts store in gulf shores, al, and knows the service manager at gulf chrysler, foley, al.as soon as my friend described the situation, the foley service manager asked if the recall had been accomplished and said it was related to the recall.the next morning, my towing service towed my van to nearby chris myers chrysler.their service manager has presented me a $1k bill to replace a module.
Van stalled and lost all power steering and brakes. Esp light was the only light illuminated.dealership could not duplicate.no codes show up.
Driving down the road at 55 night driving ! complete loss of power steering engine and braking all hampered by loss of power as i tried to slow vehicle to a safe stop all of a sudden power came back.this was a complete safety issue with no power no headlights no taillights driving 55 at night on a back country highway and the vehicle only has 50000 miles on it.
The contact owns a 2008 chrysler town & country. The contact stated while driving 25 mph, the vehicle stalled without any warning. The failure recurred several times.

The vehicle was not repaired. The vin was not available. The failure mileage was 120,000 and the current mileage was unknown.
Check engine light came on, took it to get the code determined.code came up with the egr valve was bad, dealership stated i was to far outside of my 36000 warranty to get it covered.$225.00 to replace.egr valves are defective.
Car acts possessed, dash lights flicker, inside sound chimes, wipers go on there own, car loses power, turn signals won't work, shop said its a faulty tipm happens while stationary and driving
Incident 1: 10/29/14 while driving with my child, the vehicle's engine shut off causing the vehicle to loose power brakes & steering function.engine would not turn over.vehicle towed for repair.starter relay replaced.incident 2: 11/28/14 while driving my two children, at a high rate of speed, on i-75, the vehicle's engine shut off causing the vehicle to loose power brakes & steering function.engine would not turn over.engine then turned over.vehicle driven to owner's residence.11/29/14 engine would not turn over.vehicle towed to chrysler dealership for inspection.
While driving in residential area, van would completely shut off (stall) without notice. Radio/dvd would continue. Major problem with the shut off is that there is no power steering and the brakes ould not work! it's happened multiple times. The next day the engine light came on. Took to the dealership and the only code was egr valve code. Technician did not connect it to the engine failure. After discussing with chryler, they felt that the egr valve does contribute to the engine failure at low speed.

I noticed at approximately 48,000 miles that my 2008 town & country was burning oil during use with no visible oil leaks after taking the vehicle in for an oil change. The mechanic stated that the vehicle was 3 quarts of oil low when checked before draining the oil. I have been checking the oil once per month since. The vehicle now has about 73,000 miles on it and is burning approximately 1 quart of oil each 1500 miles driven. I have never owned a vehicle with this problem and have read other complaints on this site of this same issue. I am lucky that i caught the issue before serious engine damage and repairs were required like some of the other respondents. This issue should be considered for recall or extended coverage in the event that serious issues occur. Other issues i have experienced during my ownership of this vehicle i purchased new are the premature failure of the front hubs and premature wear of the brake components. The front hubs have failed on each side 3 times already in the 73,000 miles and now the drivers side hub is making a loud noise again signaling that it will need to be replaced soon. I have never had this issue with any vehicle that i have owned. To have it happen for the 4th time prior to 100,000 miles would seem to be a defect.the brake components seem to wear out every 15,000 miles and the rotors require replacement each time the pads wear out. This seems to be a quality issue with the parts both new and replacement.
Vehicle was started after being parked for a couple of hours and driven about three blocks and the engine stalled.this has happened 5 times the latest this morning 1/2 block after a cold start. No warning lights on first 4 stalls and this morning the antiskid light came on.engine (4.0) revs to appx 3000 rpm when started after stallingonce the vehicle is restarted the engine does not stall for weeks. Engine restarts immediately.

The failure mileage was 104,000.
Vehicle is burning 3 qts of oil between oil changes, no leaks, very disappointing.
While the vehicle is in motion, the engine shuts off without warning. This has occurredon the street and expressway. The vehicle will start up again when put in neutral. After starting and driving the the van, it would shut down again without warning.

With the initial ignition, this car's engine just stopped and lost all power while leaving our driveway, back in 2010.the ignition was replaced sept. 2014 under a recall notice.we had no further problems at that time.the ignition was replace again in sept. 2015 due to another recall notice.on jan. 15, 2016, while driving 40 mph on a local road, the engine shut down and we lost all power.took car to chrysler dealer.they could not identify problem, but said a technical report suggested replacing the pcm, which was done on 01/18/2016.on 02/01/2016, the engine shut down and lost all power, after traveling approx. 400 ft.
While driving the van gets flashing lights on the dash board, the odometer starts to bounce all over the place. Then the van stalls. It happened while driving and at a stop sign

As i left my apartment to go to work, and after driving approximately 1 mile, i approached a stop light.as i pressed the brake pedal, suddenly my power steering went out, the "traction" light turned on on my dashboard, and the engine turned off.i put the car in park, turned the key to the off position, then restarted the van.it drove fine after that.having the engine, steering, and brakes all shut down randomly while the electrical items still work was frightening.if it happens on the highway, i don't know what i will do.
Many, many , many times this has happened. I will either be slowing down for a red light, to make a turn, or hit a bump and the car shuts off. No particular reason, no idiot lights come on indicating a problem. If i didn't pay attention to the heating/cooling fan, it shuts off,i wouldn't know this has happened. Twice i have been driving on the freeway, hit a bump and thecar shuts off. 65 mph with children and pets in the car!. A couple of times the car has just shut off at a stop, no bump, nothing apparent. I have been in to the dealership three times, spending large amounts of money and all they can say to me is i'm sorry we could not duplicate the situation. I received a recall notice on 09-15-2014 about the problem and as ofthis date, 01-16-2015 i have not been notified that it is my turn to get the ignition fixed. My husband and i both called the dealership two times each and all they can say is that the part hasn't been manufactured or that they haven't heard anything from chrysler.
As i was driving 65 mph, the minivan just completely shut off (engine and dashboard). The speedometer dropped to zero, the car began to shake and i had to cut through high speed traffic (with my kids in the car) to safely get over to the side of the road. I put the car in park and then the gear shift became stuck in park. I had to shut off the car for 5 minutes, restart and the car was fine. I am terrified to drive this car with my two small children. I am the original owner and never had this happen before. From what i have read online this is common with chrysler. When i called chrysler in mi the customer rep replied "oh wow, i've never heard that before". If you do a search online this has affected many car owners. There needs to be a recall before someone gets into a serious accident. If this happens again i will contact legal representation.

There was a recall on the fobik back on june 16, 2011.the part is still unavailable.i feel this can be quite dangerous and i'm not confident that the part is even being manufactured. My vehicle has already shut off once due to this recall.
Oil consumption beyond normal.i have been researching this issue and found a wide problem for chrysler/jeep model years up through 2011 with the 3.8 liter engine. There is a defect with the valve guides and seals that allows oil to be burned at a far greater rate than what the industry standard would say is normal oil consumption. With this issue it uses more than a quart per 1,000 miles.dealer has said this is normal oil consumption.since the guides are defective along with the seals this is causing dry start even with low miles!i am meticulous with maintenance on my vehicles, daily driven mostly highway miles approx. 30 miles daily.when the vehicle is started in the mornings you can hear the dry start to the valve train.it goes away as soon as the engine is running and oil is circulating. However you can hear the valve train is noisier than usual.i have been servicing vehicles for over 35 years now both professionally and as a hobbyist.this is clearly a design flaw to this particular engine.i personally know someone who recently had to replace their entire engine because of this issue.even the simplest of internet searches turns this issue up. I am not the only one complaining about this issue.we would like the dealer to address this.
Within a mile after first start up of the day the car will die while driving when you let off the gas. The only dash light that comes on is the yellow stability control. Loss of power brakes and power steering occur with the dead engine. Have almost gone through red light as a result. Has been to the dealer 3 times with no resolution. Chrysler complaint has been contacted with no resolution.
Car started smoking for few minutes when car first started each day. Took it to a repair shop, who changed the oil, put in a new filter, plugs, etc. It then worked fine for a couple months, and then climbing a hill a loud knocking started. Took it to a chrysler dealer who refused to fix or replace the engine, because i could not produce receipts for oil changes, since that work was typically done by me, or one of my workers. I contacted corporate and was told that they would not honor any warranty for any part of the car because they had decided that i didn't take good enough care of the van, even though it was in perfect condition, except for the engine. I have since talked to many auto repair places and was told that even if i had not done anything to the car at all, the engine should not have blown at only 30,000 miles. Now i have had a $42,000.00 top of the line limited minivan sitting in my driveway, which is technically still under warranty. Talked to an attorney and was told that it was impossible to win against auto dealers anymore, especially since the new ceo is a criminal who fixed the failing company by ripping off customers.
I have a 2008 town &country touring minivan for 3 yrs but now at every oil change the mechanic tells me that the car burning oil and it stalling and at high speed it gets little scary. It need a recall the motor should not be burning oil every 3000 miles and i always change my oil at 2900 and cleaning the motor gets expensive every oil change for me goes for over $150.00 because the motor burning oil have this check before something happens.

Stopped on the road and then check encine light is on again with stopping while in the middle driving wow so dangerous some was is seriously going to get hurt pulled over then after about an hour i tried to start andagain just started with no proble but check engine light remains on ....
Heater hose started leaking antifreeze on engine making the car smoke really bad.took it to our mechanic and he looked at it and said "you don't even need to show me...it is the heater hose.i can't even tell you how many of these we have done.we actually just finished one up yesterday."seems to be a really big problem with these vehicles and nothing is being done about it.
While in motion on a city street the vehicle's engine, power steering, and brakes shut down.luckily no accident, but had to come to a stop on city street while travelling with traffic to restart vehicle.electrical system appeared to be operating but had to use manual power to steer and stop the vehicle - no power from engine.this has happened about 6 or 7 times, but three times in past week.
While driving the van the windshield wipers came on, instrument panel lights began to flash, doors locked and unlocked and the engine lost power. The alarm system went off and could not be turned off. This has happened several times when driving and all the power is lost to the power steering, engine and lights.it is a very dangerous situation as it can happen on the freeway as well as on a city street. We have been stranded so many times and have fears to drive this van anywhere!we were stranded in seattle on a city street and had to wait two hours for a tow truck to tow it to the nearest dealer there. When it arrived at the dealer it was late afternoon and the mechanic agreed that the systems were not 'communicating' with each other but he would check it out in the morning...by the morning, the van was not doing it's craziness and the mechanic said he could find nothing wrong with it! we have had the local dealer check it out and they cannot seem to find the problem, but obviously there is a problem. Why can't chrysler figure this out? it is dangerous and scary and our beloved van is no longer reliable transportation for our family. Nhtsa....there have been so many complaints about this problem...it needs to be addressed and, yes, it is a safety issue, big time! we need your help to get chrysler to figure out what is going on with these vans. It is as if they are 'possessed by the devil' help us please! what else can we do?
The contact owned a 2008 chrysler town and country. The contact stated that the vehicle had a strong hesitation. The check engine warning light randomly illuminated and the vehicle stalled numerous times. The vehicle was taken to a mechanic twice who replaced the egr valve and vacuum line. The dealer also completed a manufacturer recall repair for the ignition switch; however, the vehicle continued to hesitate. While driving less than 15 mph, the vehicle independently surged forward at a high rate of speed and crashed into the rear of another vehicle. The contact sustained a whiplash. A police report was filed. The air bags did not deploy. The vehicle was destroyed. The approximate failure mileage was 75,000.
While driving this van, this vehicle stops in middle of the driving and steering locks. I cannot movecar left or right... It locks often. Make driving of this vehicle makes very dangerous and this is a life threatening defect. Why would a moving vehicle stops suddenly and it can be restarted after taking out the key anf placing it back in.this issue is occuring when vehicle is in motion. The same issue occures twice a month
A few months ago i started having a problem with turning my ignition to the "off" position - it would only go as far as the "acc' position.i turned the van back on, put the van in drive and back into park again thinking i didn't engage the park all the way.nothing.so i did it again, and again, and again.it finally went to the off position.at first this was happening once in a while.then after about a month of that, it started happening maybe half the time and now it happens closer to 75% of the time.what happens if the key goes into the "acc" position while i driving?will the same thing happen to the van as it did with the gm vehicles?i could lose steering and brakes and my airbags wouldn't work?i need this problem fixed asap.i should also tell you that there is only one other key on the key ring with the van key.i am very afraid for my safety and the safety of others on the road and my family while we're in it.
The "y" fitting on heater hose is cracked and leaking coolant, big plumes of coolant steam escapes from the drivers side wheel well until leaking fluid has evaporated. Until the evap happens i cannot use the defroster as it takes the climate control off recycle and the coolant fumes then enter the cab. Chrysler was made aware of the issue, as well as another on december 5, and refused to fix or help with repair costs, vehicle still not repaired, still leaking coolant. 2 small children, 5 yrs and 14 months, ride in this vehicle on a daily basis and can be exposed to the fumes. Also cannot use remote start due to the fumes leaking into cab until the vehicle key is in place and climate control recycle kicks in, so in cold weather like this week i can not warm my van up without physically going out and starting it up. If i am contacted i will provide vin.
Several issues. Once while driving 40 mph stopped and steering locked up coasted turned it off and back on, head lights dont always work, sometimes head lights and dash light up and then flicker on when closing doors, air works intermittendly. Sometimes stops and then starts back on. Wipers work sometimes wont stop. Interior lights turn on inside vehicle and don't turn off. So frustrating.

Slowing down when approaching toll booth at night in main lane when van dies and will not start.everything went dead (including hazard lights).lucky we didn't get hit!toll road authority truck pushed me to shoulder.after an about an hour, the van started.
Coolant must have a slow leak somewhere. Yet there is not a drip circle under my car the airbag light comes on. The air conditioner wouldn't work and now the heater doesn't work. Does the airbag have anything to do with the leaking? it happens intermittently.
My 2008 town and country chrysler which had 74,000 miles locked up on me while driving.it was determined that their was no oil in the vehicle.i have had my oil changed every 3000 miles and i didn't have any signs of an oil leak at all.there is no sign of an oil leak in my driveway.where did the oil go?the check engine light on the dash never came on nor the oil light came on.i have been told that my engine is gone and will have to be replaced.i want some type of explanation as to why and how this could happen from chrysler.i have never had anything like this happen and the sad thing is i'm still paying for this vehicle.i have had numerous issues with the vehicle before.you couldn't have never convincedme that chrysler had defective/lemon vehicle till now.i would appreciate some kind of reimbursement and a recall for current and future town and country owners.
My van shut off on interstate 94 right before the bridge between bismarck, nd and mandan, ndthis was not the first time this has happened.all the lights on the dashboard start flashing and then the horn toots and then the wipers start up and then it dies.sometimes we can sit there for a while and then it will start up again and go a little ways again..this is a handicapped van and luckily my son was not with me this time.he has been with me before and we can't find a another handicap van to get us home.it has been in the shop to be fixed but it still happens.i really need this fixed..
Stalls while driving usually at low speed.loss of power steering and brakes is dangerous. Restarts when turned off and restarted. Same problem has been reported large number of times on auto internet sites .car has 108000 miles and has been stalling this way for many months from time to time usually after cold start. Mechanics have been able to reproduce stalls and unableto correct.

2008 town and country limited 64000 miles. While driving vehicle, engine stalls intermittently. I noticed this when my steering became hard to turn.
My van will just turn itself off while you are driving and you lose all power steering and etc.we have had it to the dealership 3 times.i believe it should be included in the ignition switch recall but i have contacted the chrysler 1-800 number and contacted them thru their website and they won't help me.the representative thru their 1-800 number wants me to pay to take it to another chrysler dealership and pay them to look at it after i have already paid $800 to my local one to have a switch replaced that did not fix the problem.
The vehicle was parked inside our attached garage.i went through the garage when going out to work in the yard.the vehicle was not running at the time.when i returned to the garage 5 minutes later to get an extension cord i discovered the van was running and the doors were locked, it appears it remote started without a request for remote start.neither key fob was in a purse or pocket at the time.i had to run into the house to get my key fob that was located in the bedroom to shut the vehicle down.the other key fob was on the kitchen counter and had not been disturbed.the van would have kept running could have filled our home with carbon monoxide.both our kids were inside napping at the time and their mother was inside the house nowhere near either key fob.
Faulty transmission. Constantly hard shifts everywhere. Feels like the transmission is going to fall out of the vehicle every time you shift from reverse to drive ,or drive to park, or park to reverse. This is the second transmission on this vehicle.. I had thepowertrain checked and the vehicle came out with no problems.im afraid that i will be in an accident the vehicle shakes and stops abruptly while driving.

Engine burns over 3 quarts of oil between oil changes. It has gotten worse with age. I'm putting almost 4 quarts in every 2000 miles now. Based on the reading i've done, this is a too common problem. The engine design was changed in 2011 due to this known defect. There should be a recall recommended.
Was leaving az on the hwy and traveling with the speed of 70 ml and lost speed it went down to 35ml and i had to pull into a service sta,could not find anything out of place after about a hour started back up and did not encounter no moreproblems i told the dealer and they said if it happen again bring it in.

For the last five years we have been dealing with a mysterious electrical issue.there are hundreds of complaints online of the same issue.the van will be fine and you get in to start it and when turning the key it will not start.full charge, full battery. Starter is fine - everything checks out fine.with a jump it will usually start.sometimes it will start on it's own if you wait a little while.people on boards have stated replacing dozens of things - to then have the same issue a couple days later.we are use to having to jump our vehicle about 1 out of 20 times.we have taken it to multiple mechanics and had multiple things checked and replaced. An example of a board with many others experiencing the same thing can be found here:https://forums.edmunds.com/discussion/12634/chrysler/town-and-country/2008-t-c-ignition-switch-problem/p1in addition - sometimes you will be driving and everything starts going off (wipers, lights, flashers, horn, entire dash lights up, etc - no resolve).this can happen while stationary or driving.

Insane how much oil my van consumes between oil changes! no leaks, no burning, no nothing. It consumes over a quart within 800 miles. And when i say over a quart i mean 1 1/2 quarts or more. This is a very common problem and chrysler won't step up to the plate and admit its a serious issue.
My chrysler town and country had performed the recall on the ignition switch however my van still shuts down while driving. At first it started upon morning when first starting out the day, but now it shuts off even after 45 minutes of driving the vehicle causing me to loose control of the steering and having to be cautious so that i wont be rear ended or worse.i have taking it in to be diagnosed but the technicians after having the van hooked up to their diagnostic machine are still unable to see anything wrong. No error codes are showing. Also now, while parked and the engine off with no keys... My doors will just open by themselves or automatically lock. It did it yesterday morning however my car was running, the van locked sounding my alarm that sounded as if i had pressed the key to lock.i hope that someone can call or email me to give an explanation what could be the problem as well as how i can resolve this problem,
Bought this car used with 64,000 miles. 3.8 l engine. Car burns approximately 1 quart of oil for every 1000 miles driven. No leaks and no smoke. Pvc valve ok. According to my mechanic who owned the same car there is some issue with cylinders/piston rings seating and a common issue from a bad batch of manufacturing and/or rings. He tore down the engine in his van to investigate, replaced with new rings and hasn't burned a drop since. Chrysler has come out to say 1 quart per 3000 miles is normal but this is not normal.
My 2008 chrysler town & country loses power when starting car but also when driving in normal roadway conditions.no other keys are on the key ring.i have had it at the dealer 3 times for loss of power issues. First time the wen module was replaced when car would lose power while driving and had trouble re-starting.repair seemed to help for about two months but then car lost power but would restart once car came to a stop.first time at dealer was told car would not cooperate and they could not get the car to stop when they drove it and no error code.i specifically asked about the ignition and was told it was definitely not the ignition.was told to bring it back if it happened again - it had happened everyday the previous week including 3 times in one day.took the car back and was told they found the problem and repaired but lost power on way home.will be trying a different dealer in the next couple days but car lost power again today.fortunately, no accident yet but am extremely careful when driving and am limiting my driving to essential short trips.the car makes a click when loss of power and key is no longer in "on" position. Seems to me like the ignition. I told the dealer what it does.
L25recall. Ignition failed three timesno parts to fix yet. No other keys on fob last time it turned off.key is loose in the ignition (per the local chrysler service mgr). Engine turned off three times while drive without touching the key.happened three time at different speedsfirst time at 45 miles per hour car just stopped in the middle of the road.. Once faster, once slower. My 22 year old daughter was driving the car all three times. All the lights on the dash come on and she said the steering would not work and the brakes did not work.she called crying the first time from the middle of the road did not know what to do. Engine had stopped. (no codes showed on diagnostic computer when dealer charged for the diagnostic) she ended up in the middle of the road stopped. Engine did restart all three times.local chrysler dealer could not get to duplicate even though the said they drove car 4 or 5 times. (even though they said they drove it 4 or 5 times, no miles were put one the van while in the dealership.even the $115 diagnostic charge from the dealership showed no miles were put on the van). They charged because they said they could not confirm it was the l25 recall which they have no parts to fix yet.the local chrysler dealer said they ran a diagnostic for $115 that showed no computer codes which the service manager said sounds like the ignition recall symptoms, but still charged me because they could not get it to duplicate at the dealership.(i did not know a safety recall had to be duplicated to get work done without charging)the local chyrsler dealership said that it should be safe to keep driving, they could not find anything wrong with it.my 22 daughter is scared to death of the van but is having to keep driving it.
I was driving on the highway with my 3 year old. Dash lights started flashing and engine revved. I tried slowing down and had a hard time braking. Then my vehicle shut off. I was able to keep turning it on and off and gliding off the highway. I took it to a dealer who after charging me said nothing seemed wrong but they changed a relay. This was october. Now today in january the same exact thing happened. In the car with my son. Lights flashed and car shut off.
The engine shuts down while the vehicle is in motion. This has happened 3 times at less than 15 mph on my private road and 1 time at ~30 mph on a public road through town. I have only owned this vehicle a couple of months and the previous owner purchased the vehicle from a dealer in january only owned the vehicle
Incident with chrysler town & country 20082/9/15 between 4:26-4:29 p.m.driving slow after just having gotten a green light (25mph or less) hit a big bump in the road.every light on thedashboard lit up and i felt the engine lose power.the van coasted for a couple seconds then seemed to gain power back.went around a bend in the road slowly and the engine lost all power. It did not come back at all this time.i tried to use the turn signal to get turn into a parking lot. Signal did not work.neither did power steering.i could not get van to turn into parking lot.there was a moving vehicle behind me and a parking lot full of cars to my left.i found the automatic brakes were not working.i turned the steering wheel hard to the right to avoid hitting an oncoming vehicle and thankfully the van coasted into a snow bank which stopped it from moving any farther. Turned on the hazard lights. I was able to get the van into park and make sure it really was not going anywhere. I took the keys out of the ignition and waited just under a minute.i decided to put the key back in the ignition and see if i could get the van to start.it started without any noticeable problems?!car key' attached to key ring with other keys.did not receive a notice in the mail about recall. Looked up possible recalls after the fact and yes, there is one.and it is much more serious than chrysler lets on. Tried to contact chrysler by phone several times and can't get through.if this had happened in one of many other places i had been driving that day the accident could've been fatal.
I have had issues with stalling for months. Since february 2014, i have taken to local service center 3 times but they cannot fix it. Finally on may 1, 2014 after the vehicle stalled 2 times, i was involved in a collision.no injuries and the only damage was to my vehicle.current estimate to repair the vehicle from the collision is $1700.there is no estimate to repair the stalling because there is no solution known to cause the stalling.typical stall:while driving, the power steering gives out and then the brakes lock up. The vehicle has to be put into park after i attempt to safely stop.the key has to be turned all the way to off position before it will restart. Frequency is 1-4 times per week.
This vehicle drove straight into a stopped vehicle resulting in $8990 in damages to the front including destruction of the bumper, replacement of the hood, etc. The air bag did not deploy; something the manager at the repair facility couldn't believe.in the past year or so, the vehicle will "capture" the key when you attempt to shut the engine off and remove the key. You have to restart the engine and cycle the key back off to remove the key. It takes as many as five cycles of shutting off the engine and restarting the engine before the key can be removed. The problem is consistent but sporadic; i.e., it happens a few times then is fine for a few weeks and then the problem resurfaces.
The keys system would not lock/unlock the car consistently. Manual operation of unlocking/locking the car was the work around. Subsequently the ignition or wireless remote system has gone bad which now affects the igntion displaying a "bad key" and solution is to replace the entire wireless remote system.the wireless remote system controls the ignition, the doors, the engine.
The first problem we noticed with the van was the brakes. They wear out way to quickly. In the 5 years we have had the van we have replaced the brakes 6 times and rotors 2 times.the next problem was what seems to be a well documented leak of the coolant on to the engine causing smelly smoke. We were forced to by the part from the dealer as it was not available anywhere else and paid over 100.00 for it. Thankfully my husband was able to replace it. Now at 80000 miles the key and ignition has been having issues. It started with not being able to remove the key fob. The engine will cut off but it will only go into accessory. If left overnight or for sometime it will kill the battery.it started occasionally and has progressed to almost every time you cut the engine off you cannot remove the key fob. It will release but it is after sometime sitting in park. It is very frustrating having to leave your key in the ignition andbe forced to leave it sitting in a random parking lot and just hope that when you return the battery is not dead. I have researched this issue and it is very common among this van and other chrysler vehicles.at this point i am so fed up with it if someone decided to steal it because they saw the key in it i would just wish them good luck. I will never own another chrysler !seems like there has to be a fire injury or fatality for them to do anything to satisfy all the unhappy customers they have.
Vehicle shuts off randomly while in motion on city streets going between 10 - 30 mph. The recall (r03) for this problem has been done and the shut-offs still happen. Unknown fault or problem. Several diagnostics done over the past 2 years, all to no avail. Engine tune up with plugs performed.map sensor replaced. No error codes.help us!!!

My 2008 town & country is burning oil and i it started who knows when. I took it to the dealership and they replaced the valve cover 3 times now. It needs replaced again but they are waiting to hear from chrysler. I think the whole van should be recalled.i bought a vehicle that was supposed to be safe and reliable not take it to get fixed every month. I shouldn't have to check the oil every 500 miles. My 1997 chevy blazer was never this much trouble.i don't think i will ever own another chrysler again unless maybe it's free. Also the key is getting stuck in the ignition after being shut off.i have oil in my driveway and i'm stick of the repairs!
The vehicle will shut off while in motion. Stability light will illuminate, power steering, power brakes fail. Has happened on three occasions now, twice on city streets, once at highway speed.

My son and a friend took my car to a movie. The car suddenly quit running while driving on a residential street at approximately 25mph. There have been two recalls on the vehicle concerning the win module and win module detents. In 2010 i experienced the same exact issue, had the car towed to a dealership and they supposedly fixed the problem. This recent incident was exactly like the first. The dealership is refusing to replace the module and wants me to pay $600 to have it fixed. The car will not start without this repair. I am at wits end wondering why it is my responsibility to pay for a known safety issue repair.

I have had this 2008 t&c since 2009. Bought it one year old with 20,000 miles. After the first oil changed i noticed that oil was being consumed somewhere. It wasn't burning out the tail pipe (no blue smoke anywhere, anytime), so the engine must have been using it. When i called the chrysler service department, i was told that it is normal for engines to burn a quart of oil every 1000 miles. I have never heard of any engine using that much oil ever! i have owned 16 cars in my lifetime and not one of them ever used oil - none! so, knowing this i had to keep 5 quarts of oil in the garage at all times and about every other week i would add another quart.so my wife was coming home from work late one night and the van died while driving. I took it into a repair shop (not chrysler as it was out of warranty) and my mechanic told me that along with dropping a valve seat in one of the heads, that the engine had also spun 2 bearings and were shattered in the oil pan. I have always made sure to keep oil in this engine because it was using so much and would check it regularly as i was always worried about it - especially since chrysler said that it was normal - which it isn't!now i'm stuck paying for a $3,500 engine and labor at 103,000 miles and a 6 year old vehicle. This is entirely unacceptable! i know i'm not the only person complaining about this specific vehicle as i have looked up online to find that thousand's of other people are having the same issues. Honestly i cannot believe the motor has not been recalled for this by now as it has been happening for years now!i normally drive all of my vehicles to 150,000 to 200,000 miles and when i have sold all of them they have been in perfect running condition - but this t&c has been nothing short of a failure since the day we bought it. What makes it so hard is this is the 3rd t&c we have bought and the other 2 were great!
Yesterday while driving in town my engine stalled, and the horn started blaring. Not honking or alarm sound, but solid blaring. My wipers turned on high, and the windshield wash started spraying all over. Front and rear wash and wipers. My reverse lights were on, even though the vehicle was in park. Also, the fan inside the van for the heater/ac isn't working.this spell lasted 3-5 minutes. Afterward, i was able to restart the van and continue on my way. Today, the same thing happened, shortly after starting the vehicle. 2 of the 3 times happened while i was driving on the street, approx 25-30 mph.
Car stalls (stops running) randomly at speeds below 40 mph. This causes loss of power steering and brakes which can lead to a dangerous situation. I've almost run into a tree or off the road on several occasions since this happens randomly. The traction light comes on first and then you realize the engine isn't running anymore. You have to put the car in park and then start it again. It may be fine for the rest of the drive or it may stall again. Totally random as to when it does this. It has not happened at high speeds on the highway as of yet. I've had the car to the dealer several times with this complaint and each time they can't replicate it or it was due to the key fob recall which was performed on my car 3 times.
I have filed a complaint about previous instances but it happened again. I will continue to do so until it gets fixed or chrysler can provide me with a safe vehicle for my family to drive. Same story as always. I was driving heading to a stop light and car shut off. A bunch of lights on the dash flickered then the car died. Engine light stays on. Put my hazards on while in the middle of the street. Turned the car off and on several times then it finally worked. It then happened again 2 minutes later while going down a hill. Got it started again. Then happened again on a busy road. I sat there for 15 minutes trying to get it going. Which i finally did but now missing work because i am terrified to drive on the highway.
1.there are times when right after shutting the vehicle off and coming back to the car several minutes later, it will not start. The key turns but there is no power. I have replaced altenator, and battery and starter. The problem appears to be in the ignition. 2. I have replaced the front wheel bearings at 80,000miles ,also in the 3 years of owning this vehicle i have had to replace front brakesand rotors 2 times and rear brakes once. 3. Oil seems to "disappear" usually 2 quarts in a matter of 1000 or less miles. This vehicle is the most unsafe vehicle i have ever bought. I bought this vehicle on the word of chrysler that it is a safe and trustworthy van. I have been stranded more times than i choose to count, in parking lots and what not miles away from home, with my 3 small children. It is absolutely [xxx] that i have to have a "survival pack" food and water and strollers and things of that nature in my vehicle at all times in case we get stranded somewhere.

At low driving speed the engine did not maintain idle and stalled. Due to the engine stall, the brakes, and power steering were disabled and the car continued in motion moving forward at approximately 8 to 10 mph. Driver was able to maneuver to the shoulder of the road and coast to a stop with only the very limited steering and breaking power remaining.once at a full stop the car was able to restart once the shift lever was placed in the park position. Since this initial incident, the same stall problem has recurred about twenty times in total for two different drivers. Each time the car has been in motion at low speed and usually with the driver backing off the accelerator with the driver's foot moving off the gas pedal and onto the brake pedal.the vehicle was inspected by the dealer more than once and it was stated by the service manager that the issue could not be duplicated when test driven. Also it was stated that no fault was recorded by the standard computerized test of the car.
While driving at 60 mph with my husband and daughters in the van, power was lost as the van stalled. Had to turn the key to the off position and restart theengine. This has happened multiple times and at varying speeds. Chrysler needs to do something now before it happens on the interstate and we get plowed into by a semi!!
The contact owns 2008 chrysler town and country. The contact stated that while going 60 mph, the vehicle stalled. The contact stated that she coasted the vehicle to the side of the road and waited for 5 minutes and then tried to restart. The vehicle restarted and was driven to the dealer for inspection.

Upon purchase of the vehicle (feb 2015), we received a safety recall notice on the ignition switch (r03/nhtsa 14v-373). Went to dealership (dick meyers chrysler/dodge in harrisonburg va) in may 2015 and was told that we were "on a list" and would be notified. Never heard from them. Did a follow up on jan 28, 2016 and was told the same thing - "on a list" due to backordered parts.this delay seems ridiculous and obvious to us that chrysler doesn't want to swallow the cost and hoping people will just give up.

It started by engine cutting off while running down the road 20 - 50 mph we shift to neutral and restart it.this has been happening ever since we purchased it from the dealership in myrtle beach.they worked on it and said it something about the valves were dirty and charges us $300. And it continued cutting off on us on the way back home.this happens every time we drive it.we took it to the dealership in conway, sc and they could find nothing wrong.i left there,drive away on the busy highway and it cuts off a number of times.i have complained to both dealerships a number of times and they do not know what to do.i have taken it to a local mechanic and he is also puzzled.we have replaced the fuel pump, water pump and timing belt, battery.yesterday, november 30th we came from long ave. To 701 approximately 3-5 miles and it cut off 5 times while doing approximately 45 - 50 mph. We turned onto 701 and it cut off 3 times in less than a mile.the last time it cut off we making a left turn, luckily the light was green (busy intersection - 4 way traffic/shopping center.we got through the intersection and pulled off road because it would not start. When we turned the ignition on it would just click one time.after about 10 minutes it started and we went the last half mile home with the vehicle jumping and skipping all the way.we are afraid to leave home on it for fear of an accident or getting stranded.we feel this is a factory problem and should not be a burden on us. Since 1995 we have purchased 10 chrysler products and this is the worse.what do you plan to do about this problem.

The contact stated that she had to refuel the vehicle with fuel approximately every ten minutes as the fuel gauge continued to display empty. In addition, the check engine warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent auto shop where it was diagnosed with a failure in injector number four that needed replacement. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and repaired. The independent mechanic test drove the vehicle after the repairs, but the failures persisted. The independent mechanic diagnosed the vehicle as having a misfire in cylinder four. The vehicle was not repaired and the contact was advised that it was not safe to drive. The independent mechanic suggested that the vehicle be taken to a dealer. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer for diagnostic testing or repairs. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 117,000. The vin was unavailable.
Various odb codes involving tipm issues, which has now progressed to vehicle stalling while driving down the highway and city streets.
While driving engine shut off,
About to get onto a major highway when smoke started to come from under the hood. Pulled over to a gas station and found antifreeze sprayed over the entire engine compartment. Mechanic at the garage found that the rear coolant heater hose was cracked where it attaches to the engine. He said the y design is a bad flaw and very common. He said no reason with only 58,500 miles should that have cracked already. Van had to be towed 32 miles to the nearest chrysler dealership, van is still under extended warranty.
Van died while driving on highway.stopped and restarted.a few minutes later the transmission stopped working (engine running, no power to wheels).coasted to shoulder and then it started to work again.
We took our two vans in for re-call repairs and the vans started to work poorly, we think that the dealer can not be truthed do right by us,finding problems or leaving us with problems that did not acure before taking to the dealer's shop for recall services i believe it's all about the money.what can we do now?

While in motion the car will just turn off,steering wheel locked and i could not steer. It has turned off on me while driving on the highway with my children. It will start back up but can not go longer than a mile before it does it again.
The incidents below are related to the tipm.11-22-13, 80000 miles, i have video.(i'm guessing on mileage.) in my garage. I hit my unlock button on my fob. I do not have a starter, but my van began running, the lights,wipers & horn came on, the doors locked.i manually unlocked the door. Entering the vehicle, i tried to turn on/off the van, wipers & lights to no avail. After 1/2 hour, it stopped. I started the car. It was working.3-17-15, 100000 miles(i'm guessing on mileage.) in the parking lot, i tried to start my van. No response. Figured my battery died. As soon as we started a jump, van's horn started blaring, wipers, lights & motor began. Could not turn anything on/off with my key. We removed/replaced a fuse, which stopped the horn, wipers, etc. I drove home.1-28-16, 122487 milesi left work, hit my fob's unlock button, the wipers started going, etc. (the horn's had burned out from a previous incident). I drove 4 miles. The van stalled dangerously in traffic. I was able to pull over. After 5 mins, the wipers stopped. I drove it home. The engine light came on. I made it home.next morning, while driving, the washer fluid started shooting! i barely got the van pulled over before it stalled. I couldn't stop the wipers. It started again.i drove to about 2 miles from the dealership before it died - the wipers were still going. My tow bill was $77. When i tell service the symptoms, she said, "do you have a town and country?"i had the ignition module (recall) replaced.i went home.2-3-16, 122600 milesdriving to work. Wipers begin, wiper fluid shooting out again! 5 days prior, they saidit was a recall for the ignition module. Today, it has nothing to do with the ignition module replacement. I must pay $966 to get a new tipm if i want to be safe. It is not covered underrecall or warranty.i called chrysler customer service.they said the same.the consumer no longer owns the vehicle. The conumer requested a reimbursement for an issue that became a recall and a tow.
I was driving to the store at approx. 40 mph when all of a sudden i noticed my dashboard and my fuel gage went down , my speed dropped i didn't know what was happening .my car was slowing down but since i was going downhill i coasted. I realized my engine had shut off.i panicked but thankfully thought to turn the ignition switch and the car turned back on. I thought it was a fluke.but this issue has occurred several times while driving.the same scenario. I realized by just bumping the key it turns off the engine.if i turn my ignition andif i don't hold it long enough, it will move back to off position. I mean i barely bump it and it can turn off. It has happened while driving at least 4 times. I have not gone to my chrysler dealership because i didn't want to pay an out of pocket expense and i no longer have the warranty on it.
I was driving on a ny highway at 60 mph when my car suddenly shut off and the ignition turned to the acc position. I had my child in the back seat and we narrowly escaped an accident. I brought the car to my chrysler dealership and paid $800 for a clockspring which i was told would prevent this from happening again. It just happened again 3 weeks ago. This time i was in rush hour traffic and almost caused a multiple car collision. I had no control over steering wheel or brakes. The car completely shuts off. I called chrysler and they said "wow, i never heard that before". Really?? because models 2009-present have been recalled for this exact issue yet you have no idea what i'm talking about. My car was at the dealership again for 11 days and i was told they don't know what the problem is either. I spent $900 on a rental for that waste of time. These 2008 cars need to be recalled before someone gets killed.i do believe it will happen soon because this is a scary situation to be in.
Multiple times the engine shuts down while driving.no power breaks, no power steering, possibly no headlights, possibly no airbag...have to throw into neutral and attempt to restart.doesn't always re-start every time.very dangerous.taken to two chrysler dealerships since the recall and they say that our vin is not on the recall list.i don't care whether it is the on the recall list or not!!! my wife and four kids have been in the car on several occasions when this occurred.
The vehicle has an ongoing inability to start without any issues being found. The alternator was replaced, the battery was replaced, the radiator was repaired with the thought that was an issue. The doors open on their own, not just unlock but open. The stability control is always going on even after being repaired and repairing any possible causes. The incidents occur in both stationary and in motion the causes are still unknown.
When traveling down the road and coming to a stop the vehicle completely turns off with out warning or indication. We are unable to warn vehicles behind us bc the use of the 4 way hazard lights will not work. The van must be put into park to be restarted. We have had it looked at be mechanics who do not know what the cause is.
The contact owns a 2008 chrysler town and country. While driving various speeds, the vehicle suddenly shut off. After restarting the engine, the vehicle operated normally. The failure occurred on multiple occasions. The vehicle was taken to an unknown dealer who was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The contact indicated that the vehicle was previously repaired per nhtsa campaign number: 14v373000(electrical system) and the ignition switch was replaced, but the failure still occurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 100. Consumer stated car shuts off at any speed, any time; it's constant no power steering or brakes; it can be on a turn or coming to stop light, won 4 let anyone in household drive it: thousands of this model especially chrysler.
Continuation of 02/01/2016 report:with the initial ignition, this car's engine just stopped and lost all power while leaving our driveway, back in 2010. The ignition was replaced sept. 2014 under a recall notice. We had no further problems at that time. The ignition was replace again in sept. 2015 due to another recall notice. On jan. 15, 2016, while driving 40 mph on a local road, the engine shut down and we lost all power. Took car to chrysler dealer. They could not identify problem, but said a technical report suggested replacing the pcm, which was done on 01/18/2016. On 02/01/2016, the engine shut down and lost all power, after traveling approx. 400 ft.today, 2/17/2016, my wife was driving on the dallas north tollway, at approx. 50 mph, during rush hour, and the engine just shut down.luckily she was able to pull over to the shoulder without incident, put the car in park, and restart the engine.if this is an ongoing problem with chrysler, someone is going to get killed in an auto accident as a result of this problemsomething needs to be done quickly.
This is more a drive-ability problem rather than a safety problem. My vehicles check engine light turned on. The code said the egr valve was bad and needed to be replaced. When i went looking for a part i found that there were so many of these failures that the part would be back ordered and i could not be told when the part would be in. This was a known problem back in 2005 and chrysler never fixed it. Because of the egr failure the vehicle gets poorer gas mileage and produces more pollution.
I have had several problems with the 2008 chrysler minivan. Electrical, engine, ignition, etc. I even had the one door not have the sensor go off and pinch my one twins leg into the door! over the years, the ignition switch pops over and stops the car completely while driving at intermittent times. I could be going 20 miles an hour or on the highway driving at a higher rate of speed. The whole van shuts down so if you are on the highway, you can barely steer to get over (and thankfully i have been able to do so). I received a recall notice in june. It is november and my van still isn't fixed. The dealership and chrysler know that i am having the issue and have had it. I have called and voiced my complaints. I am "number 5" in line to get the part! so, what will chrysler do when i get rear ended or injured when my vehicle fails to operate. The van shuts off at least once a week while i am driving it. If i didn't have full, lifetime warranty, this van would have been traded in the year after i purchased it. It has been nothing but problems since i have owned it. Chrysler is not doing its job to keep people safe. They have not taken my issue seriously and brush it off as not a big deal. I have a van because i have kids. I would think that safety would be of utmost importance but it falls on deaf ears.
There is a recall on my vehicle.the parts have not been made.i received my notice in august, 2014.i have e-mailed them twice and the parts still have not been produced.why????? my car "could cause unintended engine shut off and the passive restraint systems, including the airbags to shut off.this could increasethe riskof a crash under certain conditions and increase the risk of occupant injury during a crash."

2008 chrysler town and country sutting off instantly, numerious times at 20 to 30 mpr while driving on city streets, 40 to 50 mph on service streets, at speed, starting to slow, and or attempting a left or right turn. This is an intermittent problem. Dealer has had van 3 weeks, said they drove twice to simulate and could not repeate. Extreamly dangeriou s, almost rear-ended more than once.
Slowing down to turn and van dies (completely dead).wont restart unless i disconnect battery and reboot system.
I was driving down a city street when the van suddenly died in the middle of the road. It lost power steering and brakes and wouldn't release the key. After a few minutes the van started again. I began to drive home through city streets when about 10 minutes later the van once again died and lost power to the brakes and steering and wouldn't release key eventually the car maybe a clicking sound and allowed me to start car. I took it to the dealership and they could not duplicate the problem and found no error codes.
I received a recall notice for my 2008 chrysler town and country back in may of 2015.the recall number is r03 and has to do with the wireless ignition node module.i have been on a "waiting list" with my local chrysler dealership in titusville fl for months and every time i call i am still "number 6 on the waiting list".i am concerned for the safety of myself and my family.it is not logical that the dealership has receive zero parts for this important recall in all these months.please assist.
Was driving down the road and the horn started blowing and the wind shield wipers went full speed and the motor turned off in the middle of the highway. They told me it was the tipm was bad and they have a ton of these vehicles with this problem! it is a very expensive fix and should be a recall item due to it being a safety problem!the vehicle shuts down and you loose all power! i have seen online other issues where the air bags actually deployed. I am so scared to drive this vehicle because i don't know if it will malfunction again!! it has happen at least 3 times already.
Engine was started and journey started on tarmac road.2 minutes later, esp amber warning light illuminated, power steering disengaged and brakes went hard.acceleration was not possible.car had to be forced to side of road and restarted.this has happened twice in one month.
Every oil change i have gotten on this vehicle since around 50,000 miles, my mechanic has told me that i was 1 to 2 quarts low on oil.this last time i took it in i was 3 quarts low.i have my oil changed religiously at every 3000 miles.my car is getting on up in age but still shouldn't be burning this much oil.looking online at various car forums about my same vehicle, a lot of owners seem to have a problem with their town and country's also burning oil.
The egr valve has failed resulting in the check engine light coming on. Now the right rear brake caliper has seized causing the brakes to smoke.
Check engine light came on.had vehicle diagnostics test done at local chrysler/dodge/jeep dealer.bad egr valve to blame.found out through mechanic and online forums this is a common problem.also, the egr valve replacement is on national back order by over 6000!!!definitely should be recalled!!!!!

I was at a red light and started to smell antifreeze.thought it was the car in front of me and wasn't too worried it was my car as the temperature was fine.when i got to my final destination, i smelled antifreeze again and lifted the hood.sure enough, a hose had busted coolant and it spewed all over the engine and engine parts.i took it to my mechanic to have fixed and he made a statement that he "couldn't tell you how many town and country's i've seen with this same problem."the part is the y hose for the heater/coolant hoses that connect to the back of the thermostat on the vehicle.
Ignition failed while driving on interstate 40 in raleigh, nc.had just cross over bridge and noticed a bump in the road when going from bridge to road.ignition shut off completely, had to move to shoulder, place in park and to re-start vehicle.on 07/27/2011, ignition failed while making left hand turn across divided highway (with green traffic light arrow).both incidents came without warning, and although the first incident occurred after experiencing a bump in the road, the second incident occurred on smooth surface.autopark chrysler jeep (cary, nc) service the vehicle on 07/28/2011 and replaced the "win" module, stating they believed the keyless ignition was not maintaining connection with the key fob.they also noted this has happened before, and it is a recall item on similar dodge grand caravan models (2010 and 2009) with identical ignition and key fob design.please take action as our family narrowly escaped potentially tragic accidents and although our dealership felt compelled to fix the problem, it could happen to anyone else at anytime without any warning, and the results could be fatal.

I have a chrysler 2008 town and country with 66000 miles on it. While driving my van at approx 35 miles per hour the van suddenly flashed the electronic throttle control light, check engine light, and slippery condition light.the van lost the ability to press on the gas pedal and make it go.it continued to idle down the road, but the gas pedal made no difference on the speed i was going.i idled into a driveway, turned the van off, let it sit for approx 30 minutes, then restarted the van.the van started fine, but while driving it home it did the same thing. I idled the last 1/2 mile home to get the van in the driveway.the next morning i made a service appointment and drove the van to the dealership.it stopped running one time on the drive, which is approx 5 miles away from my house.i again had to stop the vehicle, put it in park, and restart the vehicle. The dealership called and said that it was a wire going to the electronic throttle control that needed to be repaired.i see that there was a service bulletin regarding this issue in the 2010 town and country and didn't know if the same bulletin applied to the 2008. I feel that this is a major safety issue as the van loses all ability to get up and go.had i been driving on the highway when it lost all power i could have caused a major accident! within the past month we have also replaced the egr valve, the power steering fluid line, and the power harnesses on the door. They are now taking apart the engine because it is making a "lifter tapping" noise.
I have had my van for a little over 3 years and have already had to replace the front brakes on it twice and the rear brakes once.both times the rotors and brake pads had to be replaced. I have had to replace all 4 tires as well, and that was only at a little over 40,000 miles. I have had to replace the battery, and i am now fixing the a/c & heating system for the third time.and every time i check the mail i receive another recall notice!and all the issues "could cause a fire".in addition, my rear automatic doors do not always close, i have to manually close them or they come back open. I have been paged out of a store for my back doors being open, after i watched them begin to close.i also have problems with the radio freezing.
Burning heater hose, smells like antifreeze.then smoke from rubber could lead to fire.
On sept. 7, 2011 we experienced a second incident where the vehicle totally shut down while in motion. Took it to the chrysler dealer and they performed a software update ,tsb 18-003-09 , and they said this should correct the problem. We performed a dealership battery replacement on 8-1-11.on dec. 14th, 2011 the problem re-occurred, while leaving a parking lot traveling under 10 mph. Now with out power steering assistance, i was barely able to manually maneuver the vehicle to a open parking spot, stop, put the vehicle in park and it restarted. On dec. 22, 2011 the problem re-occurred, while backing out of my driveway traveling under 10 mph. Stopped vehicle, placed it into park and it restarted. I called the same chrysler dealership whom performed the above stated repair, the earliest appointment date they were able to give was dec. 27, 2011.this is incident is extremely dangerous and alarming to the safety of a family of six. We have google'd this type of incident and have read a lot of similar occurrences. We would like to recommend to the ntsb to conduct a full investigation into this type of incident and issue a safety recall recommendation to chrysler in order to proactively avoid loss of life's due to this total system failure in which chrysler has been made aware of.
Beginning in august of 2013 my car stalled (completely shut down...lights, engine, power steering, etc.) while i was driving on a major parkway.it was night and no other car was near me (thankfully), and i slowly glided to the side.it took a lot of effort since i did not have any power steering or lights.i had a friend, my daughter and my daughter's friend in the car with me.we were all very frightened.i brought the car into my dealership (meadowland chrysler in carmel) new york.at that time they could not find cause.after that it happened multiple times and i brought the car back to the dealer and each time they told me they could not find anything wrong.a number of months back, i received a safety recall notice (l25/nhtsa 14v-373) describing the very same situation.at that time they said they didn't have the part to fix the problem.it has been months since this recall, i have followed their suggestions, taken the car back to the dealer - but still no part.the frequency of my car stalling while in motion has increased.it happened on i-84 at night and another car almost plowed into me.i fear for the safety of my family and myself.i have contacted chrysler and they say there is nothing they can do for me but wait for the part.i have kept my copies of correspondence with them.i do not have the money at this time to purchase a new car and driving this car is extremely unsafe for me and my passengers and any other car that happens to be on the road near me.
While driving my 2008 town and country van i smell something burning: please tell me if this is a safety issue with these vans..... This has been going on for a couple days and the smell is getting stronger , i cant see anything but the smell is bad!!!
The rear ac evaporator started leaking, similar to famous 2006 town and country problem, but no recall or service extension yet. 700 usd later the problem was fixed but out of my pocket and there is an upgraded part so it seems chrysler know about the problem.

2008 chrysler town and country van has been stalling while driving since 45k miles.it stalled once every other month at first, now it is every day.it stalls while driving 15mph or 60mph.the dealership has seen it two times in the service department and have been unable to determine what the cause is.when it stalls the breaks and gas are not functioning, the steering wheel locks, and the vehicle must coast to a stop.there is no warning when it will stall other than the rpm gauge suddenly drops from 1-2 to 0 rapidly.in that time it is possible to prevent the stall if the vehicle can accelerate quickly, but it is dangerous to watch the rpm gauge while simultaneously watching the road.the engine does not change sound at all.
2008 chrysler town and country limited minivan looses power shortly after take off. This generally occurs within 30 seconds of take off at <5 mph but has occurred at up to 15 mph once or twice. Warming up engine does not always seem to eliminate problem. Drive vehicle every day but power loss occurs randomly - meaning not set days such as every other day or once a week. Could occur more or less. Traction control light comes on. Almost complete loss of steering and breaking ability. Tachometer goes to 0. Can't rev engine but heater and radio remain on. Once car is turned off and key removed, then turned back on, problem goes away.car also feels like it's running out of gas or is going to stall after take off at different times during the day. Often when i leave work for lunch or leave to return home. Car has yet to shut off completely in this situation. Occurs mostly between 20-40 mph but not exclusively. Remains between 1-5 minutes and then works normally again. Took it for inspection the week of march 17. Couldn't duplicate problem. Computer lights not on though abs sensor was found through diagnosis. Sensor was cleared. Drove again this week and car stalled yesterday, with "running out of gas" issue around noon and around 4:30 p.m. Relayed information back to mechanic. Currently keeping a running log before taking it back to mechanic for further diagnosis.
Two problems:1. While driving very slowly around a curvy road, the engine just stopped ( 2 times) making me hit the curb. The dealership re flashed the computer software and the problem went away. 2. While going up ona small hill, the steering wheel just locked and i could not steer it at all. I turned the engine off and the problem went away. The dealer states that nothing can be done. It is a safety concern especially if it happens on busy highway.

My gig system, inclusive of radio, navigation, hands free (bluetooth) phone, rear back-up camera, and video system, continues to lock-up, re-boot itself, and generally creates unsafe driving conditions due to its inability to properly function. The system has been replaced twice, but the issues continue. There are several technical service bulletins regarding this problem. Chrysler agreed to a collateral exchange of the vehicle in august 2008, but is now refusing to follow through (many other problems also exist with the vehicle like the power sliding doors don't properly shut and open by themselves, transmission issues, radiator issues, etc.)

Automatic car doors in the chrysler town & country 2008.99% of the time i will press the button and it will close half way and then open.there is nothing at all obstructing the closure, but it still says there is and opens again.today however, my daughter who is 2.5 years old pressed the button and then put her hand in the van, i looked away for 2 seconds.well the door that rarely ever closes when there is no obstruction closed on her hand. It's happened that it's closed on me before hit me in the hip etc and didn't want to stop closing.thankfully i am strong enough to not get hurt.these doors are a safety hazzard and should not be allowed in automobiles that children are going to be in.no matter how diligently you watch your kids, you can't be everywhere at once.i hate to think what could have happened if her head was in the way instead of her hand.she could have died.

Noticed loud grinding noise coming from front end of vehicle and vibration in steering wheel. Noise and vibration increased with speed. Was told both front bearings were bad and needed replacement. Understood a recall was conducted and a service bulletin was issued for the 2008 town & country, but chrysler said my vehicle was not affected, which is odd considering the issues in my t/c seem to very the very issues found within the recall and bulletin detailing required repair.
While driving i had all computer screens shut down on me, meaning going blank.my radio turned off , the dvd player shut off, as well as my driver panel lights.this is the first time it has shut off on me, usually when i turn on the van either those functions work or they don't work.i also have issues with the tps, abs, lights flashing at me including the engine light.it randomally will come on and randomally go off.chysler told me for $3,000-$4,000 i can have the van rewired and have no van for about a month.i can not and will not afford this.i have summited other complaints about this van including the module recall.i don't know what to do this van is a safety hazard and a money pit.
My tipm module needs to be replaced but since there is a national shortage for this part. I like thousands of others have to wait 6-9 months before there will be any available. This part has been on back order for a very long time. Chrysler is very lucky that no one has been seriously hurt.

I purchased my 2008 t & c 4 months ago and it has 14,000 and it now has only 17,000 miles.i took it to the dealer today because it was making noises that sounded like there was something wrong with the brakes and also for the dvd player, and the outlet that wasn't working the back.they told me the brake pads and rotors would have to be replaced.i would have to fork out $400. This is obviously an ongoing problem that chrysler needs to own up to and fix.they already got me for the cost of the van and now it seems every 5-10,000 they will be getting me for $400 because i am going to have to replace the brakes and rotors.

I took my car in for a recall on an ignition win module recall. The car was given back to me with several electrical issues and is now very unsafe to drive. Dealer replaced the part 4x now says its my issue!! my car was working properly when it was given to the dealer and was not returned to me in the same condition. The dealer experienced and witnessed this issue and says they cant find anything wrong with it.the only way they will help me is if i pay. My car will randomly light up the dash like i just turned it on, wipers go on by themselves, i have no dials on the dash they all bottom out to zero so i have no idea how fast im going, my turn signals and head lights go on and off, even in the dark! my car doesnt register in park so my doors wont open. After i take the key out it will light up as if key is in it and its not. Not safe for driving but i have no other options at this point! attached is a link to show a video of just a small bit of the issues with my van since part replacement.

Driving down the road wipers turn on by themselves will not turn off, high beams will not work also turn signals will not work.
On 6/25, while driving down the highway i experienced some type of a power surge.the car started bucking, the a/c went off the horn started going off, the wipers started going off, the engine started revving.i was able to get off the parkway and pull into a parking lot.the things kept on happening until i turned the vehicle off.i tried to restart the vehicle, but it seemed like the vehicle was dead.nothing worked.i had to have the vehicle towed to my house. On 6/27 i tried to start the vehicle and it srarted right up.i turned it off and tried to restart it, but again everything was dead.on 6/30 without doing anything the lights in the vehicle started flashing, the rear windshield washer started squirted washer fluid until it was empty, but the washer motor kept on operating.this lasted for about 20 minutes until it finally stopped. I attemptd to start the vehicle, but once again everything was dead.i was actually afraid while i was driving the vehicle, because of all the safety implications. When is a safety recall going to be issued?these problems could have deadly results.
The following has been happening for over a week now.when starting my vehicle, the wipers independently turned on,the headlights flashed every time the wipers where deployed independently.the wiper and light on/off was checked.turned off and on, and still both items flashed, and swiped by themselves.january 29th, operator was driving 25 mph, all dash lights blinked, including but not limited to, esp, brake, engine,and airbag lights, airbag light remained on, wipers deployed and rpm gauge reduced to 0 for 5 seconds.pulled over turned ignition off, opened door, shut door restarted vehicle.the above repeated itself, with more errors, now the driver window controls did no longer work.this happened repeatedly for 5 full minutes before resuming normal operation.
My headlights go off and on.each morning the flash on and off about 3 times and then go off.i replaced the switch on the dash and the switch on the steering wheel column that is the dimmer switch for lights and wipers switch.i replaced each suggested thing except the tipm which is estimated over $800.

Low beams driver's side won't work.repair mechanic says it is a faulty tipm module shorting out and needing total replacement.noticed significant number of owners with the same problem.repairs costing close to $1000.oo.where is the government recall?
At first, passenger hid low beam headlight was not working.swapped out light and module, still didn't work.switched with working driver headlight assembly, did not work.took into dealer and received a quote of over $1100 to replace tipm.thought it was a ridiculous cost to fix a headlight.removed connector and put back on the tipm and headlights worked fine for several days.driving the vehicle shortly after, both headlights just shut off while driving on an unlight road.quickly turn fog lamps on to see the road.tried removing and reinstalling connector several times with always same result, both headlights work a couple of times, then both either don't come on or shut off after on.running lights sometimes turn off as well.drive the vehicle only in day time now.
Our 2008 town and country lx is experiencing problems with the windshield wipers, horn, dash board lights and radio.when the drivers side door is opened, all of the above items are happening.the dealership where we bought it (not a chrysler dealer) suggested we take it to a chrysler dealer to have the tipm (totally integrated power module) replaced as only the chrysler dealers can do this.after reading so many posts, it appears there are close to 3,000 people having the same problem.i wanted to officially file the complaint but will conduct further research before shelling out $500-1000 to the dealership as thousands of others have.50% of the problems i read about stated that the tipm didn't totally solve the problem.thank you
Shortly after the car is started the headlights will flicker on and off for a little bit and then go out completely. Replaced headlights did not help. Replaced headlights fuse and relay fuse did not help. Will need to replace the whole tipm module. This might fix the problem.
The headlights and tail lights flicker and then turn off they will do this while parked or driving scary when its dark
I just left my work related training class around 4:45pm and it was raining on that day. I noticed that i turned on my wipers, the front light and i immediately noticed that my wiper, the front light, signal light, heater and air condition stopped working suddenly. I tried to adjust my wiper speed but could not do any thing, to even turn it off was not possible. My signal failed to work, my horn also failed. I parked to see what might be the problem but could not electronically unlock the doors, also i noticed that when i turn the ignition key to on position, the dash light on the board was off, wiper is moving without been turned on and the light was not on after i started the vehicle. This is a potential danger and this has happened seven to ten times and these only happened when it was raining or during cold weather.
Follow up to nhtsa id # 10648758 where we thought replacing the headlight control switch would stop the headlights from turning off while in use.took only 3 days to discover that was not the route cause of the problem as the headlights went out again.no warning.they just went off.back to the dealer where they now say itthe tipm.no parts available to fix the problem for at least a month.not a safe car to drive.
My wife was driving on two different occasions and the van stalled, completely powered off. All electrical systems suddenly started acting in very abnormal ways. The wipers turned on as well as sprayed. The horn started going off, the locks on the doors gut stuck.all warning lights on the dashboard turned on. The ac quit working.the biggest problem is the two occasions the van just quit working going 40 to 60mph and the brakes and power steering not responding.this i think is major safety issues because my two little kids were with her in the van.
I was driving down the highway at 55 and the rear 3rd light brake assembly broke off and crashed on the road.

The glass on the van steams up to easily during cooler weather when no heat is turned on or vent. The body of the van collects water in the doors housing the glass in the sliding doors on both passenger and driver's side. No repairs have been made to body and a recent visit to a break shop even replacement breaks the van still makes squeaks at times. A recent bumper accident i shared with a body detailer said the back bumper seems off and needs repair, i have done no repairs on the body and the van is in the original condition from owners that transferred it to me. I also feel the lighting for after leaving the van trunk light stays on anytime a door is not open and have noticed the lights in the front of the van take a while to go off after locking and turning off veichle

This is the same issue that a lot of other people are having with the windshield wipers and fluid spraying and going off, horn honking and locks going all crazy.about a year ago this happened and i took my car in and was told it was the clock spring, then a week later same thing happened- happened first while i was driving and it went crazy, then also when i use the key faub to unlock the car it acted up.the second time i took it in they told me my battery was bad, but if i had it in a week before that why is that bad now when they should have noticed then?so put in around $700 to fix this issue.now yesterday, exactly a year later, same thing happened.driving on my way to work, it did it for about 5 minutes, i pulled over and shut my car off and restarted it.then when i left work i pushed my unlock on my key faub and did it for a minute or so, then when i got home and went down to my car to leave last night, used key faub and it started going again, but this time would not stop so the battery is disconnected.i try to hook the battery up and it continues on still.this is dangerous for someone to drive and should be recalled immediately, also, my car would not shift and my abs light and traction control light turned on this time, and last year it did not.my car is possessed!! i commute to work and this is a very dangerous issue and these cars need to be recalled asap!
Purchased a used 2008 chrysler t&c. Drove have had intermittent electrical issues in the past year (approx. 12 times) different electrical items would malfunction. Radio would not turn up or down but come on at a loud volume and stay there. Cabin lights would not work then work than not. Brought it to the dealership where they could not tell us what was wrong. Clock was not working for a while. Middle of the night the alarm, lights, and doors would open randomly. Returned to the vehicle with door open when no one had been in the rear of the vehicle. Brought it to an electrical specialist who could not diagnose. Replaced the battery and tested the alternator. Was not either as the problems persist. Replaced the 6 mos. Old battery on thursday and it was dead by sunday. Brought it to the garage but no one can tell us why currently we have no horn or steering wheel controls as well as all cabin lights are out.
Passenger side headlamp failure. Taken to dealer twice and replaced by owner twice. Lamp works for 1-2 weeks requiring new bulb installation. Replaced bulb 5th time on 2-18-2017 and does not work all.
Vehicle is having electrical problems. These electrical problems are causing the vehicle to shut off while operating, lights to turn on and off, horn to sound and windshield wipers and washers to operate randomly. This vehicle was purchased new from the dealer and had a similar problem when new.it was repaired and now is doing it again only more severely. There are many reports of similar problems with this vehicle experiencing this problem. In some cases the cruise control starts operating on its own and accelerating. This needs to be a recall.

The wipers kick on when when there not turned on they squirt windshield wipers fluid too
Along with the hundreds of complaints, i too have a problem with horn, lighting, wipers and fluid, car running with no key in ignition etc. While out of town the car had these happen and brought to a certified chrysler shop. They diagnosed as a bad battery connection after a mechanic driving to his home and back. I was sent on my way after paying $100. Not a large amount but silly when you have to bring the car to my local shop for the same problem three days later. This time it happened while driving at night in the middle of the road. I am appalled by how many complaints have been filed and there has not been a recall on this could be fatal defective part that is shutting down a car with no warning while driving. What do 90% of mini van drivers have in common? children!!! how unsafe and absurd. Fyi my car is going to be fixed under an extended warranty but this is a major safety concern for anyone that drives a chrysler van.
While driving at night the left headlight flickered then both headlights went out.they stayed out long enough for me to alert my daughter, who was riding in the backseat to witness the blindness we were driving in.seemed like minutes, but am sure it was probably only 30 seconds or so (either way a true hazard when driving at night).as this was the second time in about a month this happened we had researched the issue and learned that if you turn the switch on and off multiple times the lights will eventually come back on.while it worked this is beyond distracting and quite the feat of driving as one tries to stay on a road they can no longer see and hope they do not crash or get hit by other cars.took it to the dealer where they confirmed it was in fact the headlight switch assembly (complete failure when they tested it).part ordered.part was replaced and so far so goo (been less than a week).we did learn of issues with this part on prior year models.the fix of adding more lubricant to the switch is temporary and does not completely fix the lights going out.this is a safety issue and chrysler needs to address it.while we got a minor discount on the service it is still a known defect.
Windshield wipers, horn, washer fluid, and lights inside and outside of vehicle randomly go off and wont stop unless the battery is disconnected.this will also cause the car to start on its own and wont turn off if already running. Took to a mechanic and they said it was the clock spring but it only lasted for a couple of months and is now doing the same thing. Check engine light came on and is showing again a problem with the ecm. I have looked online and there are hundreds of other people reporting the same problem with no explanation from chrysler and no recall issued.
While driving 55 mph down a rural road at night the headlights went out. Nearly went off the roadway attempting to stop. After a few minutes one headlight came back on then went out again. After shutting off the engine and re-starting the vehicle the headlights came back on. This vehicle is not safe to drive at night.

Low beams would start to go off and on and then just off. Restarting car fixed for short timedangerousmany problems on the tester.
Head lights started flickering then went dark.this happened while driving down the interstate.after the vehicle was off for about 5 minutes, both head lights started working again.however, both headlights flickered and again stopped working while i was again driving down the highway.the vehicle was in motion and i was driving on the highway.many reports on fca faulty tipm
The vehicle was parked at the time of the incident, with doors unlocked. The vehicle suddenly locked the doors, began sounding the horn, front/back windshield wipers turned on, and lights began flashing. I initially believed the alarm system was going off, but the vehicle would not unlock with the use of the key. After about five minutes, it appeared that power was failing and the vehicle began leaking out all of the windshield wiper fluid in front/back. Soon after, the power seemed to die, but the front end of the vehicle (under the battery) continued to make a clicking noise. The vehicle will not power on with the use of the key, and the car had to be manually unlocked on the drivers side. When researching similar symptoms on the internet, it was found that this is a manufacturer defect and could have occurred while driving, with the loss of steering control and brakes.
The van passenger side door keeps opening and closing all by itself.the lights flash, then it unlocks itself and opens and closes over and over.the key fob will not do anything except open the passenger door, it doesn't matter what button you push.the door just keeps doing it and it can go on for up to an hour.we now have to disconnect the battery when we go somewhere otherwise we come back to an unlocked vehicle and an open door.the flasher also go off when this happens, it does it randomly so you never know what to expect.i have talked to some friends who are having the same problems.i think it is some kind of defect that the company should take care of.
The contact owns a 2008 chrysler town and country. The contact stated that while driving 45 mph, the headlights and the lights on the instrument panel shut off. The vehicle was stopped and shut off. Upon restart, the vehicle functioned normally. The contact also stated while the vehicle was not in motion the windshield wipers engaged, the horn began to blow, and the door locks engaged and disengaged involuntarily. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer and the contact was informed that an electrical system module needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 54,000.
The windshield wipers both front and back, the washer fluid and horn all turn on randomly while driving or parked with the ignition off, the doors refuse to unlock or lock, the headlights turn on and off randomly while driving or parked. The dashboard gauges stop working all together or all of the warning lights turn on and off and the radio/navigation will turn on and off. All of the mentioned symptoms occur regardless of whether the ignition is on or not and randomly with no notification or predictability. The dealer wants in excess of $1000 to repair but offers no guarantee that it will not reoccur.
While driving the van the windshield wipers came on, instrument panel lights began to flash, doors locked and unlocked and the engine lost power. The alarm system went off and could not be turned off. This has happened several times when driving and all the power is lost to the power steering, engine and lights.it is a very dangerous situation as it can happen on the freeway as well as on a city street. We have been stranded so many times and have fears to drive this van anywhere!we were stranded in seattle on a city street and had to wait two hours for a tow truck to tow it to the nearest dealer there. When it arrived at the dealer it was late afternoon and the mechanic agreed that the systems were not 'communicating' with each other but he would check it out in the morning...by the morning, the van was not doing it's craziness and the mechanic said he could find nothing wrong with it! we have had the local dealer check it out and they cannot seem to find the problem, but obviously there is a problem. Why can't chrysler figure this out? it is dangerous and scary and our beloved van is no longer reliable transportation for our family. Nhtsa....there have been so many complaints about this problem...it needs to be addressed and, yes, it is a safety issue, big time! we need your help to get chrysler to figure out what is going on with these vans. It is as if they are 'possessed by the devil' help us please! what else can we do?
The protective lenses covering the mirror mounted turn signals falls off as it was only lightly glued on at the factory. This leads to rain and other items coming in contact with the bare circuit board the controls the led turn signals. This can lead to malfunction where the mirror mounted turn signals will not properly activate especially when raining. Chrysler has fixed the design issue in the newer replacement leds however the dealer charges $80s per side for parts only. I was quoted several hundred for installing the new parts.
While driving our van's horn began to go on and off by itself, the wiper blades began to run, and worst of all the dash was blinking on and off.this was a scary situation to be in on the road with my kids.it was very hard to concentrate and frustrating with no answers given.
Takata recall im not sure if it has to do with other service recalls that were performed earlier or what. Every since i had the recalls fixed ive had trouble with my lights flashing, lights on dash flash on and off, cant roll up or down windows, air or heat doesnt work when this happens, its like it just goes crazy. It does it more driving, but does it sitting still as well. Not sure of an exact date when all this started but it just continues to get worse and i had to stop driving it. Not sure if its electrical, computer, or what.i do have video of it...
When we used the remote key to unlock our van the alarm sounded, the horn keep beeping, the wipers - both front and back, started, wiper fluid sprayed from both the front and back, the doors would not unlock and the lights stayed on. Once i got in the car ( using a traditional key inside the remote ) i could not control any of the above. It eventually stopped only to start again when i used the remote to lock the car. The battery died and the car was towed to a shop. A new battery was replaced and the car computer reset. I drove it 5 miles home and parked it. 3 hours later i went to unlock the car and the entire process started again - both front and back wipers, lights on, wiper fluid spewing on both windows, car alarm and lights flashing. Again, i could not get in to the car as it remained locked. The battery had to be unwired for this all to stop. The car was towed back to the shop. This time we found out it was the tipm ( totally integrated power module ). The cost of this is over $700. Our car is only 4 years old and after researching this problem i am finding out this is a very common problem with the chrysler town and country 2008 model. If this happened while i was driving it could be an extreme safety hazard on the road. I want chrysler to issue a recall on this and issue mine and everyone elses money back - not only for the faulty part but for all the time and inconvenience this causes on car owners. Please don't want until a fatality happens.
My wife went to the car to unlock it the horn began blaring, locks going up and down, lights flashing, wiper fluid spraying everywhere, and the car actually started up w/o the key in the ignition and we do not have a remote starter on the vehicle. I arrived and removed the battery cable and it all stopped. After a few minutes i replaced the cable and was able to start the vehicle without incident. I was driving it home at approximately 65 mph and the vehicle suddenly started doing the same thing but the car cut off and i lost all steering and braking ability but was able to coast to the side parkway i was on. I removed the cable and replaced it and drove home without incident took the key out but the van would not shut off. One night of the issue we were awakened by the vehicles horn and when i went outside it was doing the same thing and the car was running in the driveway. She refuses to drive it and now we are stuck with a useless vehicle sitting in the driveway..fed up with this situation there needs to be someone held accountable, dealership was no help at all!! " they say the don't know what the problem is how can that be !?????? seeing that there are thousands of van owners like me with the same problem!!!!!
We were exiting a parking lot and pulling out onto a main road when the horn started honking, the windshield wipers started full speed (both front and back with constant wiper fluid), the interior lights flashed, all the interior warning lights were on, and the headlights shut off. We pulled into the next parking lot & turned the van off, but the horn kept going off for at least 5 minutes along with the wiper, lights, etc. We started it up again with the same results. We were so thankful we were not on the highway yet as we could easily have been killed! we left the van in a nearby parking lot for the night and tried to take it to a dealership the next morning, but they didn't have any open appts till later this week. I'm not sure i could ever feel safe driving this vehicle again as i've read a lot of the same complaints about this make/model/year and it seems like it keeps happening without warning. This is very dangerous & i don't feel safe driving my children around in it!
While driving i had all computer screens shut down on me, meaning going blank.my radio turned off , the dvd player shut off, as well as my driver panel lights.this is the first time it has shut off on me, usually when i turn on the van either those functions work or they don't work.i also have issues with the tps, abs, lights flashing at me including the engine light.it randomally will come on and randomally go off.chysler told me for $3,000-$4,000 i can have the van rewired and have no van for about a month.i can not and will not afford this.i have summited other complaints about this van including the module recall.i don't know what to do this van is a safety hazard and a money pit.
Two years ago, while driving at night, horn, wipers, wiper fluid and lights began going off and on by themselves. Stopped the car and turned off the car, but it kept on going on. I was in the car with my 5 children and my husband was not with us. It totally freaked out my children and me. My husband came and disconnected the battery and it stopped. On the way home it had stopped. Call our chrysler dealership in the morning, but they had no idea what we were talking about and said to bring it in. Not being under warranty (68,000 miles) we decided to do our own research (husband works on cars on a regular basis). We only found that others in this situation were not having any luck at dealership. We have learned how to deal with this for 2 years now. We have taken out the fuse for the horn and wipers (as both will not turn off anymore) and insert wipers when raining. We don't feel safe with this situation, but not able to do anything else. Happens often without pattern. Waiting for a recall since this seems to be a huge problem with chrysler. Very disappointed in the product.
When driving down the road, all of the lights on the dashboard start to flash on and off, the car goes into a limp mode, the headlights go off, and eventually the car goes dead while driving down the road.it happened multiple times recently while on the interstate during heavy traffic.
The horn was honking, windshield wipers and wiper fluid going off, rear wipers, flashers going and ignition stalling while driving,
I can not shut head lights off when the car is off and also headlight flicker while driving and shut off 2 times in past monthwhile driving on the highway lights completly shut off no rear or front lights pulled over and checked all fuses while doing this lights just came on got home couldnt shut them off had to disconnect the battery 3 weeks of doing this lights finally shuit off on there own and yesterdat problem started all over again somebody told me unplug the headlight swithch wich i did and the lights are still on
We was having problems with our headlights going out on our 2008 town and country van we took it to the dealership to have it looked at and they said it was the headlamp switch so we ordered one and went back up to replace it and they had the wrong switch so they had to order another on and we had to return to put the right headlamp switch in. That did not fix the problem, so we took it back to the dealership and they replaced the tipm module and returned the van we went on a family vacation just for the day and came home that evening when we figured out that they did not fix the problem. So once again we returned to the dealership and they gave us a loaner car if that's what you want to call it and they had it for several days and they replaced a censor that controls the headlights. I just got it back and not sure if they are fixed or not but they said that they are fixed. If it turns out that they are not fixed we will not return to the dealership to fix the headlights again we will find another dealership to take it to. I was not treated to best and i got none of my fuel replaced from the dealership after it took them this many times to fix it and they drove it around we gave them permission but out of the courtesy of the dealership they could of replaced my fuel considering the loaner car they gave me they said that i had to return it with the same amount of gas that i left the lot with. Now that doesn't seem fair to me does it you.

1. Safety defect in the wireless ignition module (ignition) in 2008 town & country (touring model).vehicle will run but most electrical components will not work, including turn signals, windows, remote mirrors, lights, horn seat, door locks, window locks, clock, ac radio and wipers. The result of the defect includes inability to safely operate the vehicle once in motion.driver is not necessarily aware of the problem until they go to use the horn, lights, or turn signal. Chrysler denied the existence of the problem until i made them come to my home during an episode.2. Defective fuel pump.vehicle idles extremely high and the entire vehicle vibrates violently.chrysler replaced the fuel pump yet the safety defect continues.chrysler denied rearing or feeling the vibration until a chrysler factory rep was called to thomasville in response to a state of georgia office of consumer affairs lemon law claim. Chrysler replace the pump yet the safety defect continues.3.severe grinding/scraping noise coming from the rear tenter of the vehicle.to-date, chrysler denies the noise and has not repaired the problem.i fee the issue os one of a possible fire hazard due to its proximity to the fuel system and unknown defect in the fuel pump.

While in for warranty replacement of front wheel bearings, dealer reported "weapage" at the seam on fuel tank.estimated repair at $800 plus labor.defect would appear to me to be safety (fire) caused by manufacturing process.
Vehicle stalled on slow right hand turns. Happened 5 or 6 times. Electrical system appeared to be dead, no dashboard lights and the indicators stopped blinking. Vehicle restarted every time after stopping and putting the transmission into park position. Chrysler 5 star dealer in ellington ct could not find a problem.

My van is not starting right away as it usually does. Had i been on the road would have caused a accident.the throttle light is on at the start, first it was the oil light. Had some mechanics say fuel pump but then read it is a fuse issue with the throttle
Car gets totally possessed.it cuts off in the of driving one time on the highway. The lights wipers and horn goes on by itself and doesnt stop until the battery is disconnected. I came out the store and my wipers and horn was going off the keys were in my hand. While pumping gas the radio started playing and wipers going off. The keys were in my handthe doors unlock by themselves one they opened. While driving uphill.the car won't off when the key comes out. In the park and off position sometimes it doesn't start at all.
Vehicle shuts off while driving.how can this problem, addressed literally hundreds and thousands of times on multiple sites, be judged by your department as not a "safety issue"? i, along with my wife, have been driving down the road with my family at highway speeds and the van completely shuts down.i have been driving down my driveway at low speeds and the van completely shuts down.the van behaves as if possessed.the horn blares, front and rear wipers come on by themselves, flashers come on by themselves, doors lock by themselves, washer fluid sprays on its own at a high volume.i have decided, since nhtsa, chrysler, and my local dealership can't/won't help, that i will call an exorcist.i believe the exorcist will be about as much help as the three of you combined.i assume if my beautiful wife and daughter are killed as a result of the engine shutting off at random speeds one of you three will pay the funeral expense?or at least send some flowers to the visitation?how nice of you. Or should i just contact the exorcist again and see if she has a friend that could hold a seance so i can tell them how much i loved them and that their safety was just not a priority for you?seriously.it is time to do something.i do not have the kind of money the dealership is asking me to pay for a widely known and accepted defect in the manufacturing process of their vehicle.the total integrated power module (tipm) is faulty.everyone knows it.the company acknowledges it. Thousands have been replaced at the owner's expense. When is someone going to step up? how many people have to die before it becomes a "safety issue" to you? so for now i have a very expensive lawn ornament and my family has to bum rides.unbelievable.

It started by engine cutting off while running down the road 20 - 50 mph we shift to neutral and restart it.this has been happening ever since we purchased it from the dealership in myrtle beach.they worked on it and said it something about the valves were dirty and charges us $300.

To 701 approximately 3-5 miles and it cut off 5 times while doing approximately 45 - 50 mph. We turned onto 701 and it cut off 3 times in less than a mile.the last time it cut off we making a left turn, luckily the light was green (busy intersection - 4 way traffic/shopping center.we got through the intersection and pulled off road because it would not start. When we turned the ignition on it would just click one time.after about 10 minutes it started and we went the last half mile home with the vehicle jumping and skipping all the way.we are afraid to leave home on it for fear of an accident or getting stranded.we feel this is a factory problem and should not be a burden on us. Since 1995 we have purchased 10 chrysler products and this is the worse.what do you plan to do about this problem.

When filling the gas tank, gas continued to pump when the tank was full and it overflowed out of the tank onto the ground. I assumed it was a broken pump at the gas station, and reported the spill to the clerk. Next refueling at a different station it happened again. Only way to prevent it is to leave the car running while refueling so you can watch the gas gauge rise and stop before it gets too full.there is no way to misuse or abuse this part of the car, so one can assume the part was defective. Dealership informed my it would cost $1400 to fix.
Having problems with the electrical system as described by many others here.car can be sitting still in driveway or driving when the horn will go off, dashboard lights go on, wipers starting going up and down, windshield fluid starts shooting out, electrical components in vehicle don't work, a/c doesn't work, and if driving, car will not shift into gear at higher speeds. Cannot turn off or stop any of this. I tried turning car on and off, hit buttons on remote, and this will continue for a few minutes until finally stopping on its on. Very scary when you are driving! almost got in multiple accidents so far and with my kids in the car!

The right rear power sliding door on the 2008 chrysler town & country fails to latch properly and does not notify the operator of the malfunction.the door will fail to operate in the closing operation with the power sliding option and requires operator intervention to manually close the door.in many instances when the door fails to close properly, iit is impossible to manually close the door to get the latch mechanism to engage.the failure of the door to latch constitutes a safety concern.the fact that there is no warning indicator to notify the operator that the door has not latched poses a severe safety risk to the occupants.the only notification the operator receives during this malfunction is increased road noise due to poor sealing between the door and door frame.occupants could be ejected from the unlatched door.the manufacturers representative has been made aware of the concern and has failed to properly address the concern or shown any interest in resolving the issue.other owners of chrysler town & country vehicles has stated that they have experienced similar concerns with their power sliding rear doors.

I am contacting you in reference to my chrysler town & country. We bought this new oct. 2008. We have this van in atleast seven times for the sliding doors. The problem is when you close the doors with the power shut the door starts to close but when it gets to where it starts to latch it will click two or three times and re-open you then have to manually open the door all the way to reset the door and at times you do not know if the door has shut. My wife actually had one door open while she was moving! we contacted chrysler on 3/26/2010 i was told at this time since the vehicle was already at the dealer ship for the problem at hand and since we were so close to warranty expiring to leave it there and i was given a case # 19426494 and told a case manager would call either that day or for sure the next day and i never heard back from them. I contacted the dealer (sleepy hollow chrysler/dodge) 1-877-899-4023 and told this of the situation. I did then receive a voice message from william whom is the case manager with chrysler on 3/29/2010 i then called back and was told he was busy and would call back and again no call back. I called back again on 4/01/2010 and again got no call. I called again on 4/05/2010 and spoke with a don and he confirmed this was an active case # and was concerned since it was so old and nothing had been done with this, he indicated he would forward the info to william and he would contact me and it is now the second day 4/06/2010 and still no call. This is why i am contacting you! this is a safety issue but since they can not get a code or it to reproduce when the dealer has it they do not know what to fix however one dealer did get a code and replaced a faulty latch but it still malfunctions. My wife after leaving the dealer ship could not open the door at all and she did finally get it to open. This a issue we would like resolved and i feel i have given chrysler ample time to fix this! we wanted to try and keep this between us and chrysler.

Following a front end deer strike on the highway, our auto body shop completed therepairs to this auto - a 2008 chrysler town and country. Our concern after we struck the deer was that the hood flew up "blinding" us as we attempted to get to the side of the road. I originally felt that the hood lock must have failed. The auto body shop said that the issue was that the "upper tie bar" broke free. This in turn[in ways that i don't completely understand] took the hood lock with it.the radiator support also was involved somehow in this failure.apparently, while the hood lock was metal,some of these other pieces are plastic and could not withstand the front end impact without failing. I believe that this is tremendously dangerous and that the manufacturers should be aware that, while the airbags functioned properly, we could have died because of the loss of vision caused by thehood.i notified chrysler but they said that since the vehicle has been repaired, there is nothing that they will do about this.

I have already filed a complaint with reference to the recurring brake problem on this vehicle (complaint #10300223). This week the brakes are again making noises and vibrating specially in the highway. This will be the third timewe experience it, they already repaired, replaced and rebuilt the front and rear brakes twice. I am concern about the safety of my family. At this point, i want to recur to the california lemon law but chrysler is not helping me. I beg youhelp me with this issue please. I do all the required maintenance at the chrysler dealership. We also experience a steering fluid hose failure, "not under warranty" at the same time, cost $250. Also we needed to replace the rubber cover for the parking brake so your foot don't slip, they said they don't sale that part, we had to buy the whole parking brake lever, another $200. This is an abuse to the consumer.[xxx]
Faulty brake pads on 2008 chyrsler town & country.
Purchased a 2008 chrysler town and country touring brand new in may 2008.within the first 12,000 miles we've had multiple problems with this van.as far as the safety problems specifically, the brake system has been a nightmare.the parking brake cable snapped in two and became dangerous when i couldn't park on a hill without it.this was fixed under warranty through the dealership.the next safety related issue was that the brakes on the van started to squeal and were quickly metal on metal.i brought the van into our local tire place to have a regular brake job done and was told that the rotors and pads were completely shot and cost over $300 to have replaced.the manager said i was one of 12 other customers in the last few months with 2008 dodge/chrysler minivans having this problem.he said that he spoke with someone from chrysler to see about having this repair covered under warranty and said that the person at chrysler that he spoke with casually mentionedthat "of course this happened, they used cheap parts" on these vans.i still have the original rotors and pads if anyone needs them for investigation.an entire chunk of metal had chipped off of one rotor!!the tech. At the repair shop said they were the cheapest made things they've seen on a new vehicle.no vehicle driven under normal, carpooling circumstances should ever have rotors and pads wear out at 12,000 miles.i would like to see this looked into as to why this is happening with this year van through this make.thanks.
The contact owns a 2008 chrysler town and country. While driving 45 mph she heard a humming noise; however, when she put her foot on the brake pedal she heard the noise again. She stopped to check the vehicle and found that the left rear tire was smoking. She allowed the brakes to cool down. The dealer stated that the vehicle needed new brake pads, rotors, and calipers and confirmed that the warranty only covered the caliper. The brake pads, rotors, and calipers were replaced. The repair cost was $615.00. A report 19213709 was filed with the manufacturer. The manufacturer believes that she left the emergency brake on and that caused the rear brakes to fail. The vehicle has exceeded the 12,000 mile warranty; therefore her request for reimbursement was denied. The failure mileage was 31,000 and the current mileage 36,000.
The transmission will lock up in "limp" mode so that the speed will not go over 45 while the engine is racing at a high rpm. This is not a great feeling to be driving on the interstate highway when this happens. Another poor design by the engineers. Also, there is not a dipstick on the transmission to check the fluid level. Also another pair engineer design. Chysler vehicles used to be top rated for performance and those are the only vehicles i've owned since 1967! i'm getting so frustrated with my chysler vehicles to the point that i may have to start buying a different brand. That doesn't make me a very happy customer!!
Just replaced my battery from aaa and was told everything else is good just my battery is completely drained and this morning i could not start my car at all then later it started but i got stuck at work now and it wont start at all not even a jump will help. Also while driving it goes crazy from time to time and the speedometer shoots up soo high that i get scared and have to hold on tight to the steering wheel. My ac works when it wants too and in jan i was told my van's back calipers are shot. I was driving for a year with no back calipers meanwhile the front one got stuck and turned bright red and i had to get that one replaced last year. Its just one problem after another. I feel like im constantly replacing something.
Transmission abruptly, seems as if it cannot find the correct position to shift to causing an extreme vibration. At times it feels as if the vehicle is going to come to a stop. This can be dangerous should the transmission stop while at highway speeds. This problem also seems to distract, or scare the driver since at times the transmission makes a loud bang.

The failure and current mileages were 44,000.
Our van makes a grinding or rubbing noise coming from the front end/axles.it is especially noticeable when we are turning.it sounds like a fluttering/grinding of metal or some part that is revolving with the wheels as we drive.we had the brake rotors replaced and pads replaced.that helped with the shimmy we felt while braking, but the rubbing/grinding sounds persist.we are being told it might be wheel bearings.others have reported similar problem to nhtsa for this model/year t&c mini van. There is a service notification k19 for this exact problem on some 2008 models.i think our van vin# should be added to that list of "some 2008 models."
Faulty transmission.constantly hard shifts everywhere.feels like the transmission is going to fall out of the vehicle every time you shift from reverse to drive ,or drive to park, or park to reverse.this is the second transmission on this vehicle.there are only 65000 miles on the vehicle overall.45000 on this particular transmission.i called chrysler and all they tell me is that it's out of warranty.it's obviously their inadequate parts and it's just a matter of time before the transmission fails on the freeway and someone gets injured.how many accidents need to happen before chrysler steps up and puts a good transmission on their vehicles?
Slowing down to turn and van dies (completely dead).wont restart unless i disconnect battery and reboot system.
Since i have purchased my 2008 town & country i have had the same repetitive problems.sliding doors not working properly, radio doesn't shut off when key is out of ignition, van turns off while driving, brakes and rotors replaced three times, and most of all car not starting!when the key is in ignition i turn to start and it makes a clicking sound but doesn't turn on.i would have to wait several minutes to half hour continuously trying until car starts.i have video taped each incident for the last 3 years showed to dealership and they still insist nothing is wrong with vehicle.i have alerted chrysler corporate and filed a complaint july 2014.
1. Safety defect in the wireless ignition module (ignition) in 2008 town & country (touring model).vehicle will run but most electrical components will not work, including turn signals, windows, remote mirrors, lights, horn seat, door locks, window locks, clock, ac radio and wipers. The result of the defect includes inability to safely operate the vehicle once in motion.driver is not necessarily aware of the problem until they go to use the horn, lights, or turn signal. Chrysler denied the existence of the problem until i made them come to my home during an episode.2. Defective fuel pump.vehicle idles extremely high and the entire vehicle vibrates violently.chrysler replaced the fuel pump yet the safety defect continues.chrysler denied rearing or feeling the vibration until a chrysler factory rep was called to thomasville in response to a state of georgia office of consumer affairs lemon law claim. Chrysler replace the pump yet the safety defect continues.3.severe grinding/scraping noise coming from the rear tenter of the vehicle.to-date, chrysler denies the noise and has not repaired the problem.i fee the issue os one of a possible fire hazard due to its proximity to the fuel system and unknown defect in the fuel pump.

Yes i having and issue with my wife's 2008 chrysler town and country minivan, about a week ago the ignition module where the key fob sits while driving, has been shifting to the off position on its own while the vehicle is in motion, thus taking power away from the steering and braking system. It has created two incidents where my wife ran off the road dented the left sliding door and scratched the van up, and the other incident was when she was back up it shut down and she slammed into the park vehicle and dented the rear tail gate cause she was not able to bring it to a stop, no damage to other vehicle was made. So we had the vehicle towed to the nearest chrysler dealership, and found out that several thousand of these vehicles are under recall, except my year/model they start the recall one year newer than my model which has the same type of ignition module, inwhich i am having the same exact safety issue as the newer model.i was informed by the dealership that to repair it back to whole, that is a new module, and 2 new keys are they old keys wont work that it will cost me $800... This is absurd, this is safety issue, and the recall needs to be widened to allow all models with these junk ignition modules to be replaced for the safety of the general public. I don't think i should have to pay for a serious safety issue as this, when my model of vehicle certainly should have been included, as it has the same problem.i have contacted chrysler headquarters and filed a formal complaint, now i am waiting to see how they handle this.
We have two issues.first:during an abrupt stop recently, the brake pedal mashed to the floor.the vehicle didn't want to stop.i thought it was the abs kicking in, but they are designed to stop the vehicle and keep you from sliding the wheels.this just doesn't seem right and its not the first time we noticed something out of the ordinary.our van was made for traveling, but when loaded down (not overloaded either) the brakes start to act up.for instance when you start to slow down the vehicle front end will start to shake.i have newer brakes on the front, new tires (2-weeks old) and brand new rotors (less than 2 months old) on the vehicle so i know nothing is out of balance.i simply don't trust my van and am seriously worried that there is a defect.i have a tow hitch on my vehicle, but am afraid to pull my motorcycle on it because of the brakes acting up.i can only imagine what would happen if i had my trailer hitched.no warning lights are on, but we've noticed that during a quick turn the warning bell dings and a light comes on then goes off immediately.second:the powertrain doesn't' shift smoothly.i mentioned this to the dealer's maintenance shop, but the guy told me they wouldn't do anything (warranty wise) unless there was catastrophic failure with the powertrain system.i have a 100k mile powertrain warranty, and feel the dealer is skirting the issue to keep from paying for covered problems.
Our vehicle has front wheel bearings that are failing. We found that, unbeknownst to us, chrysler had extended the warranty on this part of the vehicle to 5 years or 90,000 miles. We currently have approximately 71,000 miles on the vehicle and our wheel bearings are bad. We have been told by both chrysler and the dealer that we are sol because it was not a recall, but an extended warranty. Never mind that our vehicle was purchased after the extended warranty was announced/ the issue was known to the dealer and we have put minimal miles on the van in the 3.5 years we have owned it.
Van died while driving on highway.stopped and restarted.a few minutes later the transmission stopped working (engine running, no power to wheels).coasted to shoulder and then it started to work again.
I have a 2008 town &country touring minivan for 3 yrs but now at every oil change the mechanic tells me that the car burning oil and it stalling and at high speed it gets little scary. It need a recall the motor should not be burning oil every 3000 miles and i always change my oil at 2900 and cleaning the motor gets expensive every oil change for me goes for over $150.00 because the motor burning oil have this check before something happens.

Engine stops completely when vehicle hits even minor bumps while being driven.
It would seem, that a 2008 chrysler town & country touring with only 48,000 miles on it would not need a new transmission.it is driven by a senior who does not "abuse" its' use.car developed a "whirring noise" and after 4 different auto mechanic shops' (including the dealer where it was purchased) opinions, they all told me a new transmission was needed.i am now $3, 700 + poorer!
Van shuts down while driving.loses power brakes and power steering.this has happened at least 5 times in past two years.
Within a mile after first start up of the day the car will die while driving when you let off the gas. The only dash light that comes on is the yellow stability control. Loss of power brakes and power steering occur with the dead engine. Have almost gone through red light as a result. Has been to the dealer 3 times with no resolution. Chrysler complaint has been contacted with no resolution.

Faulty transmission. Constantly hard shifts everywhere. Feels like the transmission is going to fall out of the vehicle every time you shift from reverse to drive ,or drive to park, or park to reverse. This is the second transmission on this vehicle.. I had thepowertrain checked and the vehicle came out with no problems.im afraid that i will be in an accident the vehicle shakes and stops abruptly while driving.
While camping with the van off and the keys out of the vehicle.horn started honking.windshield wipers started going. Washer fluid started to spray. Hazards started to flash.started and shut off the van to no avail of stopping all the commotion.finally unhooked the battery to make it stop.took it to the dealer 2 days later and they found nothing wrong.one week later while my wife was driving the van.all of the devices again turned on for no reason.she pulled over and shut off the vehicle.after 5 minutes it finally stopped.when she started driving it again and when she started to drive it would not shift out of 3 gear.she pulled over and shut it off.started it up again and it worked fine.3 days later my wife and kids took it and all the devices turned on again out in the parking lot with the van off and keys out of it.when she started the van it would only run for like 20 seconds and then quit running.tried it numerous time to no avail.she wait 30 minutes while i was driving to pick them up.she started it again and it work fine.it still acts up about ever 2 to 3 days.dealership says it cant fix the problem cause it cant find anything wrong and cant reproduce the problem.
While i was driving on the on-ramp to a highway my car hit a bump and lost control and i started sliding. Thankfully there happened to be no one coming. I noticed that when my van stopped halfway in a ditch and halfway on the left lane i went to move my vehicle it wouldn't move so i then noticed it was off but still in drive and the key was still on. So i put it in park and shut it off then turned it back on then was able to proceed driving but since then my esp/bas, and traction control light have been on. After having that happened i had the recall on my van fixed. Well the lights are still there and now the driving is worse. I cant control my steering and they say it is my steering angle sensor. They also say my catalytic converter needs fixed and a pcm flash. Which i don't understand how all these problems started since my ignition unwillingly shut off. I am thinking that caused a power surge, and now its going to cost me $2000 to fix it if not more. My problems now are:1) misfire in cylinder 42) rough idle3) accelerating slowly while rpm's are above 30004) stumbling while driving (shakes or vibrates really bad while in drive/ or putters)5) esp/bas, traction control, and check engine light illuminated on dash6) steering wheel shakes from left to right on its own7) loud engine noise8) motor shakes9) abs reader says to replace steering angle sensor (clockspring)10) there is more i just cannot think of it right now. This is currently what i have fixed in the last two weeks to see if it helps the problem.1) oil change (always up to date)2) spark plugs3) spark plug wires4) battery5) ignition coil pack6) upstream o2 sensor7) recall done on win module ignition switch fobik keyi have contacted chrysler to inform them of this and they tell me there is nothing they can do about it and its not a manufacture defect.

When driving on a flat surface between 35 and 45 mph there is a shuddering/stuttering that happens. It feels like the van does not know whether to speed up or slow down. Sometimes when this happens the vehicle will completely shutoiff/stall causing steering and braking to be reduced. I have to quickly put vehicle in neutral and then restart. If i keep rpms high by staying in a lower gear there is no stuttering/shuddering
Traveling east on i 180, in left lane ready to turn onto i 80 east, took cruise control off and a loud revving noise occurred, engine shut down. Safely, through built up momentum was able to move across highway to berm off of right lane. Initially thought it might be transmission. Was towed to garage and after initial check, they thought it was a shifting rod. Transmission was removed from car and further testing showed it was the "torque converter". Part has been ordered, waiting till part comes in and can be replaced in car.if highway had not been clear behind us at the time of this incident, all 3 passengers in the van would have been killed by oncoming tractor trailers, etc. It was a very stressful moment for all of us.
1st vehicle stopped shifting had to pull over turn off car and wait then it worked for awhile , does this every few days. Brakes have been replaced 4 times before 55000 on the vehicle. At 58000 the vehicle bounces over every bump big or small some thing wrong in front end have been told it?s fine
It started by engine cutting off while running down the road 20 - 50 mph we shift to neutral and restart it.this has been happening ever since we purchased it from the dealership in myrtle beach.they worked on it and said it something about the valves were dirty and charges us $300. And it continued cutting off on us on the way back home.this happens every time we drive it.we took it to the dealership in conway, sc and they could find nothing wrong.i left there,drive away on the busy highway and it cuts off a number of times.i have complained to both dealerships a number of times and they do not know what to do.i have taken it to a local mechanic and he is also puzzled.we have replaced the fuel pump, water pump and timing belt, battery.yesterday, november 30th we came from long ave. To 701 approximately 3-5 miles and it cut off 5 times while doing approximately 45 - 50 mph. We turned onto 701 and it cut off 3 times in less than a mile.the last time it cut off we making a left turn, luckily the light was green (busy intersection - 4 way traffic/shopping center.we got through the intersection and pulled off road because it would not start. When we turned the ignition on it would just click one time.after about 10 minutes it started and we went the last half mile home with the vehicle jumping and skipping all the way.we are afraid to leave home on it for fear of an accident or getting stranded.we feel this is a factory problem and should not be a burden on us. Since 1995 we have purchased 10 chrysler products and this is the worse.what do you plan to do about this problem.

I own a 2008 town & country that has been in the shop for a number of things, the latest being the slipping of the transmission that started at 2000 miles and there was a burning smell, i took it to the shop 3 times, and at 35000 miles on 1-7-2010 i took the van in and they found a leak and the fluid was burnt, so they had to rebuild the transmission this time because of a defective part that was put in the van when it was being built.we also had problems with the mygig entertainment system, the sliding doors, the back hatch, the electrical, and the brakes that had to be replaced at 25000 miles.but chrysler said that i don"t have a lemon!!!!!!!!!!!!
My 2008 chrysler town & country minivan turned off while driving 65-70 mph on the highway. I was driving a consistent speed for minutes when it felt like my car was slowing down despite pushing the gas pedal. I looked at the instruments and the speedometer and rpm gauge both read "zero." i coasted in heavy traffic until i could pull over to a safe shoulder on the highway. It was a scary experience that my car would not respond to pushing the gas pedal. Also, it felt like the power brakes were not working while stopping. This is the third time this has happened in the last 3 months. On two of those occasions the transmission downshifted into 2nd gear for no known reason while driving highway speeds. In all cases i pulled over, turned the car off, took the key out and the vehicle worked fine for 2-4 weeks. I took the vehicle to the dealership and they could not find any problems with it. They said there were no error codes for the engine or transmission.

My gig system, inclusive of radio, navigation, hands free (bluetooth) phone, rear back-up camera, and video system, continues to lock-up, re-boot itself, and generally creates unsafe driving conditions due to its inability to properly function. The system has been replaced twice, but the issues continue. There are several technical service bulletins regarding this problem. Chrysler agreed to a collateral exchange of the vehicle in august 2008, but is now refusing to follow through (many other problems also exist with the vehicle like the power sliding doors don't properly shut and open by themselves, transmission issues, radiator issues, etc.)

To whom it may my 2008 chrysler town and country caught fire last friday in my garage. When i woke up to bring my kids to school i noticed the back part of the car was burned in the car was filled with smoke. I immediately called the fire department once they got there they noticed the car was cold, that the fire had been started, and put itself out, in the middle of the night. The fire inspector came as well, and determined it was an electrical fire from the rear speaker, where my daughter typical sits.my car is a total loss. Likely we would not hurt, the fire was right about the gas tank! i'm wondering if this is something i could file a case on or if you can direct me to someone who handles cases such as this. As far as i know, according to my insurance company, price i was not going to help me out even though it was a manufacture error.any information you could provide will be greatly appreciated.thank you
Since i have purchased my 2008 town & country i have had the same repetitive problems.sliding doors not working properly, radio doesn't shut off when key is out of ignition, van turns off while driving, brakes and rotors replaced three times, and most of all car not starting!when the key is in ignition i turn to start and it makes a clicking sound but doesn't turn on.i would have to wait several minutes to half hour continuously trying until car starts.i have video taped each incident for the last 3 years showed to dealership and they still insist nothing is wrong with vehicle.i have alerted chrysler corporate and filed a complaint july 2014.
The upholstery stitching on the third row seats came loose causing the seat belt buckles to come loose.the upholstery stitching didn't unravel because there are no loose threads but rather seemed to dissolve.
On second row swivel and go seat...seatbelt retractor failed, we only had the car 10 days before this happened...we have been having other problems with this seat. Armrest becoming so loose that it falls to the floor, trim problems. The van only had 493 miles.
I was sitting in stopped traffic on the highway, when my 2008 chrysler t&c was rear ended by a vehicle at approx. 75 mph and then i rear ended the vehicle stopped infront of me, airbags did not go off.there were 4 passengers in the vehicle; driver, front passenger, two second row passengers.none of the passengers felt their seat belt lock on impact.the driver's face was forced into the steering wheel twice and was able to pull the seat belt away from chest after impact.no one had any visual bruising or pain where the seat belts laid across the torso.the vehicle was totaled and is currently at a salvage yard being held by my auto insurance company.

The passenger side outboard shield required replacing. When the shield was being taken off the lower end of the seat belt fell off. This was due to stripped threads on the pad head screw that is used to fasten the belt to the seat frame and also the threads inthe seat frame are stripped.
The contact owns a 2008 chrysler town and country. The contact stated that the rear passenger bench seat belt buckle failed due to repeated folding and unfolding of the seat.

2008 chrysler town & country touring van, bought in january of 2008.since i bought the van the radio had to be replaced twice, the dvd player and monitors had to be replace, and the back shock or strut leaked all the fluid out on my garage floor. The sliding doors both operate when they want, they will start to close and then just reopen, if you try to close they don't want to, the back hatch has done the same thing.the driver's window had to be fix twice because it wouldn't open or close and they told me it was the sound barrier that had fallen off of the door and it need to be reattached.the drivers seat has a broken track on it and all of this has been happening since 190 miles and on, now have 10089 miles on the van and still having problems with the sliding doors.
The contact owns a 2008 chrysler town and country. The contact stated that the third row seat folded in on a passenger while sitting in the seat. The contact stated that the seat was folded down to where you can have the liftgate up and sit in the rear of the vehicle.

Once the retract button was pushed, there was no way to stop it from folding. The manufacturer stated that the seat was out of warranty. The contact took the vehicle to a mechanic and it was determined that the failure could have seriously injured a young person. The vehicle had not been repaired. The failure mileage was 49,000.
I was cleaning behind the drivers side, middle row seat with a shop vac. I wanted to clean under the seat so i pulled the handle to disengage the seat from the floor. The back of the chair released from the floor and tipped forward. I had my right hand on the back of the chair to assist it and when the chair came forward the sear adjusted itself and slid down towards the floor.somehow, when the chair slid forward it trapped my ring finger on my right hand in what i would call the seat rails. It basically smashed it flat against the back of a bolt so tight i could not free it. This was surprising painful!! because of the awkward position i was now trapped in. I could not get my finger out on my own.i had to yell for my kids to get my phone so i could call my wife to help me free my hand.i ended up with a small cut and bruised finger.
On second row swivel and go seat...seatbelt retractor failed, we only had the car 10 days before this happened...we have been having other problems with this seat. Armrest becoming so loose that it falls to the floor, trim problems. The van only had 493 miles.
During a recent family vacation, we loaded our 2008 chrysler town and country for the first time with a lot of luggage.the third row has power folding seats with the wider side having a car seat and the smaller side unoccupied.while trying to retrieve items from the rear during a rest stop, the luggage shifted and activated the power folding seat.thankfully, the seat my child was in didn?t fold because of the car seat.the other seat proceeded to fold and crush everything on it.three more times we accidentally enabled this when the luggage shifted and the car seat and luggage had to be completely removed each time to allow the seats to go back.there should be a trap door over these buttons or a lockout switch to prevent this from happening!not only is it very dangerous but also very frustrating.we have to always make sure now that we don't load up anything on the left side of our van and it's only a matter of time before a child is injured by a seat accidentally being folded.
Intermittently, while driving, the driver's seat with activate and move backwards a few inches and then forwards a few inches. This is often accompanied by an audible chime and the dashboard lights flashing on once. The speedometer and tachometer will also briefly start to drop toward 0 when the dashboard lights flash on before returning to normal when the dashboard lights turn off.the movement of the driver's seat while actively driving could be a serious safety issue when it occurs unexpectedly or if it were to happen to move all the way forward or backward.this behavior at times will repeat every minute or so. Other times it will not occur for several days.
We have had intermittent problems with rear air conditioner citing in and out car torn in over but not starting randomly front door locks only work sometimes the driver seat goes back and forth randomly while driving intermittently windshield wipers go on and off randomly instrument panel lights up and shuts off intermittently some time the radio won't shut off when the car has been shut off and door is opened stays on for at least 5-10 minutes can't shut off even with the button. Was told by chrysler the tipm needed to be replaced had it replaced for just under $1000 still having all the issues
Several times, driving at speeds of fifty-sixty-five mph, electric driver seat goes forward and back, forward and back. At the same time, wipers come on,, and all dash alerts start flashing. It does not turn car off, and repeats this several times, even in park.scary!!!!!!!!!

The contact owns a 2008 chrysler town & country.the contact noticed that there were no overloads or safety stops for the power folding rear seat.he was concerned that if a child were to sit in the seat and use the power option, they may be injured due to the lack of safety stops on the seat.the mounting brackets on the seat were dented because the motors were holding up the seat.the contact planned to speak with the dealer when he was there for a routine oil change.the manufacturer has not been notified.the current and failure mileages were approximately 7,000.
As you are driving the dashboard will start a beeping sound, lights on dash will flash on and off.the seat will start to move back and forward, up and down.this is very dangerous for this to happen while you are driving.
My wife experienced an electric shock from the driver seat when she started the engine and the electric shocks continued while the engine was running.the electric shock was severe, causing pain and forcing her to get out of the seat, and continued while she sat in the seat.the electric shocks appear to come from the right side of the seat cushion.in order to drive the vehicle she had to insulate herself with cardboard which appear to muffle the shocks so she can drive the van home.there were no burning smells only a steady continuous electric shock.
While driving at any speed the van randomly starts blinking all lights on the dashboard and then the driver power seat starts randomly going forward and backwards which creates a very dangerous driving situation. This has happened on multiple occasions and is started to become more frequent. When this happens we immediately pull over to the side of the road because at times you cannot touch pedals because the seat is extended to the full length making it hard to reach the pedals. Our van has never been in an accident, this just started happening this month.
Was driving down the road when the alarm started beeping, lights on dashboard flickered, and wipers go on and off on their own.has happened several times.now the passenger back door automatic buttons do not work and the driver's seat will move forward and back when driving.this is a huge safety issue and the chrysler dealerships are not helpful in finding a solution.said it will take several weeks to try and diagnose what's wrong. I am alarmed that more people are having similar issues and a recall has not been made.it's hard to drive when your seat is moving.in addition, sometimes my transmission will not shift.seems to be an electrical problem.once i turn the vehicle off and restart it, seems to run fine.
The contact was in a 2008 chrysler town and country.the contact was not the owner of the vehicle.while attempting to recline the captain seats on the second row, the seat belt struck him in the top of the head. He experienced nerve problems in his face and there is also discoloration in his arm.he sustained a severe injury that could not be prevented due to how fast the seats reclined.the nerve that struck him is connected with his mouth, his eyes and he has trouble with his arms.

In december of 2013 my car ignition began shutting off while driving. First time i was going 45 mph. It happened 3 times last winter and stopped. Chrysler issued an l25 recall 2 mo ago but no eta on parts still as of today. Key fob slipped to the accessory position while driving on 10/16 and 10/21 just recently while leaving the parking garage at my office. Garage is a bit bumpy like all and i have removed all keys from the fob per chrysler instructions. They claim this happens at low speeds but it has happened to me going 45-50 mph last winter. On 10/21 i was going down the parking deck on an incline and the engine shut off. Someone was changing a flat tire in aparking spot at the end the ramp i was on and a car was behind me.i didn't know the engine has shut off until i go to brake and turn. I barely stopped in time so as not to hit the guy changing his tire and the person behind me almost slammed into me. Add to this the airbags become ineffective due to the power loss and i have no power steering or power brakes. I was about to turn at the bottom of the ramp when i realized i had no power. I could have killed the person in front and the person behind almost took me out. The frequency of this happening is increasing and chrysler refuses to do anything. They told me today the recall is too big and they don't have the loaner cars to accommodate and chrysler claims this only happens at low speeds on bumpy roads and the car is safe to drive. I have a special needs child who is always in the car with me and i'm always carpooling with my daughter's gymnastics team so i always have kids in my car going to performances. This is putting me and my family and other kids at risk. My car is not safe and chrysler refuses to do anything about this. I need a loaner car and quick. I drive to work 5 days a week for an hour each way plus all the other things i have to do to transport my kids.
Brakes wear out and stop working every 10k miles.engine consumes 1 quart of oil every 800 miles with no visible leaking or dripping.
The contact owns a 2008 chrysler town and country. The contact stated that while driving approximately 55 mph, a loud screeching noise emitted from the rear driver's side wheel with an extremely strong burning odor. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer, who informed the contact that the caliper was defective. The vehicle was repaired. The failure recurred two years later and the caliper slide was again cleaned by the dealer. The manufacturer was notified of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 16,000.
The vehicle will shut off while in motion. Stability light will illuminate, power steering, power brakes fail. Has happened on three occasions now, twice on city streets, once at highway speed.
At approx 30,000 miles, i rotated the tires, the front/rear brakes were shot. I replaced everything. I later learned about the recall. Brewbaker chrysler told me "too bad, i guess you learned a lesson" when i brought them my receipts for the brake parts. Around the same time, i was replacing the wiper blades when i notice the driverside front strut tower was severely rusted. Water is trapped in the "cup" of the strut tower and had eaten quite a bit. Shortly thereafter, i traded the vehicle. I had issues with the sliding rear doors(reopening with nothing in the way and closing too hard, ie safety feature inop), the automatic back door(broken linkage), the "y" cooling hose broke/split, using a quart of oil every 1,000 miles and locking with the keys inside. Upon trade-in, the van had approx 58,000 miles. I will never buy another chrysler product again! i've never had one vehicle with so many problems in such a short time. My current vehicle, 02 chevy s10 4.3l v6 (owned since new, .2 miles) has 119,000+ miles and the only problem i've had was a bad tps, at around 100,000 miles. Chrysler needs to step up their game and fix there vehicles.

The automatic brake system takes over while driving (not braking) in one tire? this has happened at least three times causing me to go into on-coming traffic once and onto a lawn of a business. There is no ice on the road, i'm not braking, no snow. This is going to kill somebody; if it already hasn't. My personal mechanic says to remove all brakes & brake parts, replace the abs system and other items will be over $5000.00 im still paying on the bloody vehicle, i cant afford to drive it ( kill myself , family and somebody else ) and i cant afford to fix it. 2008 t & c

All four brake system lights are lite up. Steering has become loose and steering wheel wobbles. I have changed the pads on brakes 4 times in a year and my rotors are still very grooved. Dust is sucking up into the cab of the vehicle for no reason. There is a knocking coming from the engine that sometimes is there but most of the time its present was told by the dealer i bought from that was normal in these vans. Has a hard time coming to a stop now. I can not believe this has not been recalled codes on machine that are indicated are c2200 and c2205 which are ridiculous to buy and from what i have read everyone is having problems with them
The cars alarm goes off and winshieild wipers and sqirts windsheild washer fluid when car is off and only way to make it stop is disconnecting the battery. Also when we were on tge expressway the windsheild wipers went off and the minivans brakes went on by themselves.
My vehicle will shut off while i'm driving. It's been an ongoing issue. There are no lights that come on, on the dashboard that indicate any error, except the antilock break light will occasionally light up. I could be driving slow or fast, it makes no difference, it will just shut off, and the power steering and brakes lose power and don't work. This is very dangerous and can easily cause an accident. I have done some research online and have also seen this exact same problem with hundreds upon hundreds of other consumers with the same make and model. People have taken their vehicles to chrysler dealerships and mechanics and no one can figure out the cause. This is a huge safety issue. I have small children, 2 still in carseats, and my youngest who is 1 is handicap. I am scared to drive it. I still owe $10,000 on my auto loan for this car, so i am stuck with it. It seems like this is a defective vehicle, since so many others are having the same mystery safety issue.
The van would stop at low speeds with loss of steering and braking power. No codes would be triggered, it was as if the ignition was just turned off while driving.the electrical power would still be on like the radio and instrumentation panel but the steering and braking would tighten up; very scary feeling. It has happened to my wife driving the kids eight to ten times and myself two times. The dealer said the ignition recall would take care of the problem but i think it is something else (took dealer 6 months to get the part in after our first incident). It got so bad that my wife would have me warm up and drive the van around before she would use it.after my experiences with the issue my procedure to her is to place the transmission in neutral while the van is still rolling and restart the car (this is only in the case of possibly being rear ended).also, the traction control light would flicker right at engine cut off but no engine light. Five days before the appointment for the recall, my wife with kids and parent were in the van entering an on-ramp to the freeway when the engine cut off again causing the van to rear end the car in front.the accident totaled the van even though the speed was around 8mph; no airbag deployment.chrysler opened an investigation but found no evidence of any failure from the vehicle.how can they find anything when no codes are triggered when the engine cuts off?
Heard loud howling noise right rear, psi up to 39, wheel overheated.went to dealer, right rear brake caliper seized.i was told had to replace both left and right sides?!! cost me $742.90.
Car stalls for no apparent reason causing me to lose driving functions like brakes and steering.radio stays on.this happens about every two weeks.
* in may at 70mph on i-90, we began to hear a whining, grinding, vibrating noise coming from the left rear of our van.we pulled over to the shoulder asap when we determined something was wrong, and then smelled and saw acrid blue smoke pouring out from the left wheel.i thought it was a wheel bearing, and called for a tow.the dealer said it was just some rust in the brakes, and they cleaned it up.in august, the exact same thing happened at 70mph on i-35.we pulled over to the shoulder and smoke poured out again.we let it cool, activated & deactivated the parking brake and drove in reverse and hit the brakes several times until they freed up.probably not the safest thing to do, but not much choice knowing the brakes stick at freeway speeds.* recently searched the internet & found that the 2008 t&c has a very bad history with brake issues.people are irate and demanding a recall on them.just go out and read all of the complaints concerning this particular van - http://www.aboutautomobile.com/complaint/2008/chrysler/town+and+country/hydraulic+brake* after you read through a few dozen complaints, my question to you is: why haven't you forced a recall from chrysler on these dangerous brakes?there's obviously a design flaw if so many people are having problems with very premature wearout, and worse yet, brake binding and lockup, especially on the left rear wheel.*** please *** - force a recall on these brakes asap before someone is killed sitting on the shoulder of an interstate with smoking brakes, if they are not killed first by the panic to get off the road when smoke starts pouring into their vehicle.this is utterly ridiculous to let this keep going on.
1st vehicle stopped shifting had to pull over turn off car and wait then it worked for awhile , does this every few days. Brakes have been replaced 4 times before 55000 on the vehicle. At 58000 the vehicle bounces over every bump big or small some thing wrong in front end have been told it?s fine
I was driving about 30 miles an hour when my van shut off by itself. I had to pull over to the side with no power steering or power breaks, shift into park and restart my van. After the restart it again shutdown on its own at the next stop sign. I restarted and have not his this particular problem happen again. I have also had random problems with the air conditioning / heater fans randomly shutting off. To remedy the problem the with fans i have to shut off the van completely and restart and then the fans start working again.
We own a 2008 town and country.in sep of 09 the front brakes had to be replaced (21381 miles).then in july 2010 the front and back brakes had to be replaced (31088 miles) now nov 2012 they say they need replaced again!! (65409 miles)this is completely unacceptable.the car is 4 years old and already we have had the brakes 3 times on the front and two on the back.talk about a safety issue.chrysler is aware of it too...they extended the warranty to 36000 miles.although that does no good considering the problem is just going to keep happening.the cars need retrofitted with a new braking system not just replaced with the same thing.i have contacted the dealer and gotten nowhere with getting help, the same when contacting chrysler.for the family vehicle they promoted this car as.....they totally failed.i am afraid to put my family in it. This car has had more recalls, tsb and extended warranties....when is it going to stop.
Just replaced my battery from aaa and was told everything else is good just my battery is completely drained and this morning i could not start my car at all then later it started but i got stuck at work now and it wont start at all not even a jump will help. Also while driving it goes crazy from time to time and the speedometer shoots up soo high that i get scared and have to hold on tight to the steering wheel. My ac works when it wants too and in jan i was told my van's back calipers are shot. I was driving for a year with no back calipers meanwhile the front one got stuck and turned bright red and i had to get that one replaced last year. Its just one problem after another. I feel like im constantly replacing something.
L25recall. Ignition failed three timesno parts to fix yet. No other keys on fob last time it turned off.key is loose in the ignition (per the local chrysler service mgr). Engine turned off three times while drive without touching the key.happened three time at different speedsfirst time at 45 miles per hour car just stopped in the middle of the road.. Once faster, once slower. My 22 year old daughter was driving the car all three times. All the lights on the dash come on and she said the steering would not work and the brakes did not work.she called crying the first time from the middle of the road did not know what to do. Engine had stopped. (no codes showed on diagnostic computer when dealer charged for the diagnostic) she ended up in the middle of the road stopped. Engine did restart all three times.local chrysler dealer could not get to duplicate even though the said they drove car 4 or 5 times. (even though they said they drove it 4 or 5 times, no miles were put one the van while in the dealership.even the $115 diagnostic charge from the dealership showed no miles were put on the van). They charged because they said they could not confirm it was the l25 recall which they have no parts to fix yet.the local chrysler dealer said they ran a diagnostic for $115 that showed no computer codes which the service manager said sounds like the ignition recall symptoms, but still charged me because they could not get it to duplicate at the dealership.(i did not know a safety recall had to be duplicated to get work done without charging)the local chyrsler dealership said that it should be safe to keep driving, they could not find anything wrong with it.my 22 daughter is scared to death of the van but is having to keep driving it.
1.there are times when right after shutting the vehicle off and coming back to the car several minutes later, it will not start. The key turns but there is no power. I have replaced altenator, and battery and starter. The problem appears to be in the ignition. 2. I have replaced the front wheel bearings at 80,000miles ,also in the 3 years of owning this vehicle i have had to replace front brakesand rotors 2 times and rear brakes once. 3. Oil seems to "disappear" usually 2 quarts in a matter of 1000 or less miles. This vehicle is the most unsafe vehicle i have ever bought. I bought this vehicle on the word of chrysler that it is a safe and trustworthy van. I have been stranded more times than i choose to count, in parking lots and what not miles away from home, with my 3 small children. It is absolutely [xxx] that i have to have a "survival pack" food and water and strollers and things of that nature in my vehicle at all times in case we get stranded somewhere.

After the ignition switch recall was performed on my vehicle we experienced a stall condition that rendered the steering and brakes unusable for several seconds.the situation nearly resulted in an accident.the condition happen on a dry, sunny day while the car was in motion but not accelerating prior to going into a turn.
The contact owns a 2008 chrysler town and country. The contact stated that the vehicle emitted a strong burning rubber odor while at a local mechanic for a routine oil change. The mechanic inspected vehicle and located the failure at the front calipers, which were stuck to the rotors. The calipers, rotors and the brake shoe were replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure and current mileage was 70,000.
2008 chrysler town and country sutting off instantly, numerious times at 20 to 30 mpr while driving on city streets, 40 to 50 mph on service streets, at speed, starting to slow, and or attempting a left or right turn. This is an intermittent problem. Dealer has had van 3 weeks, said they drove twice to simulate and could not repeate. Extreamly dangeriou s, almost rear-ended more than once.
The contact owns a 2008 chrysler town and country. While driving at 60 mph and attempting to apply the brakes, the front end of the vehicle and the steering wheel shook. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the rotors and brakes were beginning to fail and needed to be repaired. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 100,000.
We have been having problems from day one with our chrysler town and country. We purchased it with 12,000 miles on it, and have had to had the brake pads and rotors changed out twice. We have been told the vehicle will never stop squeaking. We have taken it in for pads to be replaced, and yet it still continues to squeak. At the beginning of summer, my husband had the oil changed, and asked for the guy to look at the brakes, he said we had plenty of 'thickness' on them. I was out with my children just a few months later, and very few miles later, to find my brakes had difficulty stopping the vehicle. I wasn't able to fully stop at a street light and ended up running the red with my car hanging completely over the line. I had 3 children in the vehicle and was lucky that no one was hurt. On a separate occasion months prior, i was again with my children in the vehicle, and found the vehicle completely stopped running while i was driving 65 miles per hour on a busy street in mid commuter traffic. The car completely just shut off. I was thankfully in the right hand lane and able to pull to the side with the aid of the brakes. After pulling out the key and putting it back in, i was able to restart the vehicle. I took it in and the mechanic said they were unable to replicate the problem. Looking on blogs, it appears this has happened on numerous other occasions for other people. This car has proven on two occasions that it can have fatal consequences if left untreated. Fixing the brakes and stalling issues isn't going to help, because the problems come with no warning. I had no idea that my brakes even needed to be replaced because we were told they were okay only soon to find out they weren't. This all happened because of the permanent squeak. I am terribly concerned for the safety of my family.
In july 2011, i brought my vehicle to chrysler to report a bad pulsation feeling when the brakes were applied.we had 41,761 miles on vehicle and on a trip from new jersey to pennsylvania, we felt that the vehicle was struggling to brake fast enough.chrysler stated that i needed new front rotors. They replaced them and my cost was close to $400. Several weeks later, on 8/16/11, i brought my vehicle to chrysler again to report the same bad pulsation feeling when the brakes were applied and felt that the vehicle was struggling to brake fast enough.i was informed by chrysler that the left front rotor was scored and pitted and the coating failed for mopar ro 180802.on 8/16/11, they replaced the left front rotor.one year later my vehicle has 53,754 miles on it.on 8/30/12, i bring my vehicle to chrysler due to a very high pitched brake squeal.chrysler completes a full brake inspection and informs me that the brake pads and rotors are fine and do not need to be replaced.about 4 days later, the high pitched squeal from my brakes is louder and occurring more.i am feeling a bad pulsation feeling when the brakes are applied.i am told i need new front rotors.i should not have to replace rotors after 12,000 miles.chrysler should recall the brakes in the 2008 town and country model.brakes are one of, if not the most important part of a vehicle that should be functioning properly and should not need to be replaced 1-2 times per year.i drive under normal weather conditions on a mix of highway and some city roads.
The contact owns a 2008 chrysler town and country. While driving approximately 10 mph, the brake pedal was depressed and an unusual noise emitted. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where both front and rear brakes were replaced. The failure recurred and the brakes were replaced on three separate occasions. The vehicle was repaired under a voluntary recall issued by the manufacturer related to the passenger side power sliding door. After the repair was performed, the failure persisted. As a result, the passenger side sliding door failed to close completely. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 15,000. The vin was unavailable.
My 2008 minivan started going electrically haywire while driving and i immediately drove to a nearby dealer. I pulled into service area with horns blowing, windshield wipers and fluid going full tilt constantly, with all switches in the off position. I had to keep my foot on the brake so the car wouldn't get away from me and plow into some one or thing! after i got into the service area everything stopped. In a few minutes one of the managers cranked the car a couple of times and told me that it would be better to have the car brought back when it had the same symptoms again. They said it is easier to find the problem. So i left and went on line and found hundreds of similar incidents from other owners.
This has happened to us three times in the last three weeks.shortly after starting the car we traveled less than a mile at about 25 mph and the engine suddenly turned off causing the power steering and breaks to fail.the van restarted one we put it in park and continued to work fine after that.we were driving in a crowded neighborhood where children play at the time.
Bought this car from car max 4 months ago and 4 weeks ago had the front pads, rotors, and calipers replaced.the car was shaking violently when breaking.as it turned out, the inner right front brake pad warped due to excessive heat.it warped in its slot in the caliper...bending backward toward the caliper piston.after it cooled it was not applying force evenly to the rotor and that is what caused the shaking.ok so i have it all replaced and runs ok except for on several occasionswhen exiting the vehicle we noticed what i would call excessive heat by the tires.today my wife drives home from work and a few errands and upon exiting the vehicle she notices flames coming from the left front tire area.i douse them with a hose and then do a google search to see if other 2008 chrysler town and country owners have had any problems like this.i am blown away by the inordinate large number of complaints being filed regularly since 2008.almost all of them are complaining about the braking system on this vehicle.it is undersized for the size and weight of this vehicle.many owners had to replace everything i had too and some several times a year.chrysler seems unwilling to do anything and this is serious my whole house could have burned down.
2008 chrysler town and country limited edition.at speeds between 10-72 mph vehicle will shut off.there are no indications present when this happens, lights do not flash, no check engine warning lights, no warning etc.vehicle shuts off intermittently only while in motion. Vehicle has shut off 9 times over a period of 11 months.vehicle has never been exposed to any extreme weather condition, water, salts, or other items that might impact the vehicle.vehicle has never run to of gas. Vehicle always has oil changes done before required times. Vehicle is driven very lightly. Condition-vehicle was driving at 32 mph on a city road in killeen texas, taking a slight turn in a road. Angle of road was less than a 120 degree turn. Vehicle shut off with oncoming traffic and vehicles behind the van. Brakes locked up, steering wheel locked up, and gauges continue to work until vehicle stops. Vehicle did not restart for 3 minutes and 7 seconds. Condition- vehicle was driving down highway 90 in killeen texas near the tj mills exit. Speed was 72 mph, vehicle lost all power and shut off. Steering wheel and brakes lock. Vehicle nearly caused a multi car collision, but due to other drivers being aware no accident happened.condition- fort hood texas, vehicle is driving down the road, near a stop light approaching at a speed of 13 mph. Vehicle shuts off, steering locks, brakes lock, and vehicle will not go out of drive. Vehicle is nearly hit by traffic from behind. Military police arrive on scene and assist driver with moving vehicle to a safe location. Vehicle did start after 22 minutes and 7 seconds. Vehicle was driving straight, there were no hills present. After researching multiple sites, threads, forums, and business, this is a common problem that requires immediate attention for safety of life.
I have been waiting to be notified that the frequency operated button ignition key has come in. Today when i went to start the van it seems that it wants to start but hesitatesi tried several times but it kept doing the same thing. I cleaned the air filter, checked the hoses and battery but found nothing wrong. When i called the dealer they said they would call me back. I then called the chrysler recall 800 number and was informed that the part was still not available. I asked if there was a solution and the gentleman said it could be from 1-3 months before the part was available. This is my only means of transportation and he stated if i changed the ignition module i would not be reimbursed, i have already replaced the fuel pump in the tank at 50,000 miles the sway bar on the right was replaced and i still need to replace the left one. I usually travel with my grandchildren and it has been one issue or another since i bought it. The brakes and rotors have also been replaced because itwould be slow in braking causing a dangerous situation.
Car stalls (stops running) randomly at speeds below 40 mph. This causes loss of power steering and brakes which can lead to a dangerous situation. I've almost run into a tree or off the road on several occasions since this happens randomly. The traction light comes on first and then you realize the engine isn't running anymore. You have to put the car in park and then start it again. It may be fine for the rest of the drive or it may stall again. Totally random as to when it does this. It has not happened at high speeds on the highway as of yet. I've had the car to the dealer several times with this complaint and each time they can't replicate it or it was due to the key fob recall which was performed on my car 3 times.
While traveling at speeds less than 40 mph, and typically within 5 minutes of starting, the vehicle will shut down all power (engine, electrical, and brakes) while driving, making it very hard to stop the vehicle, and very dangerous . I have taken it to the dealer and they stated it was overheating and result of the coolant system leaking, which we had them fix, and problem continues to occur.there was no way it was overheating that quickly after starting.dealer has refused to look at other postings online that suggest this is a prevalent problem, and unrelated to the coolant system.
I was driving down the road going between 35-40 mph and my car shut off.the radio and headlights were working but the engine was off, the power steering stopped working and the brakes were not working correctly.i tried to steer on the road but was approaching a stop sign where cross traffic did not stop.so i ended up pulling into the front yard of someone's house to slow and finally stop the car.the front yard was large so luckily i did not hit any mailboxes or houses.my car had shut off in 3 other incidences but i wasn't going as fast and i was in a residential neighborhood so i was able to let the car roll to a stop and no one was hurt.we use this car as a family car and i am worried that someone is going to get hurt if this happens again.i have called the closest dealership several times and chrysler and no one seems to be able to help me.they all of told me that nothing can be done without a certain part that is not available.when i call the dealership they forward me to chrysler and when i spoke to the person at chrysler they forward me to the dealership.
Chrysler dealership said rear brakes were at 3 mils after only 10000 miles of wear now on 4/17/13 i again was told the rear brakes were at 3 mils after only 12000 miles of wear that to me and many brake repair shops is very odd and ridiculous.
The problems i experienced included:1.car stopping while driving2.ignition sticks and turns for extended period, then starts3.ignition does not start, just clicks, the starts after several tries.i put in new starter for $400 that did not fix it.chrysler recommended replacement of the win module at my cost of $800 to fix this problem.said repair should fix all of this issues.they said it was warranty repair and to send in payment receipts for reimbursement.it appears that this was a recall from 2011 under the same l25.this repair was done on 8/22/2014 and did not fix the problem.have not been reimbursed.chrysler then acknowledged another updated l25 recall and that the fix will permanently repair van and fix all issues.they sent official recall notice undated but received by me on 9/15/2014.parts to permanently fix this defect are unavailable currently.i have not driven the vehicle since 9/5/2014 because i do not feel safe in it, as it has stopped on the road previously.the letter states that vehicle may stop, increasing the risk of crash and injury, but that i should go ahead and drive it anyways.what!!as a responsible and safe person, i choose not to drive this rather than take the risk.how can you issue recall but not have the parts to fix it?they do not even have a time frame.how can i expedite recall repairs?what legal recourse do i have?i don't want this car anymore.will it be safe even when they finally get the proper parts and repair it?i am very upset with this issue, as well as the loss of use of my vehicle for an extended time, inconvenience, mental distress, and additional costs.this is totally irresponsible and lacking in care by chrysler. This is the same problem gm had with many injuries and deaths.how many people must get hurt or die?i will not buy another product from them.
Driver rear brake intermittently hangs and heats up. On some drives after i exit my vehicle my passenger rear wheel will be noticeably hot with smell of burning rubber. It does not do this all the time just seems random
Stalls while driving usually at low speed.loss of power steering and brakes is dangerous. Restarts when turned off and restarted. Same problem has been reported large number of times on auto internet sites .car has 108000 miles and has been stalling this way for many months from time to time usually after cold start. Mechanics have been able to reproduce stalls and unableto correct.
While driving down a secondary road at appriximately 25 mph the motor shut down as well as power to the steering and brakes. Proceeded to coast down the road until a safe place was identified to turn off the road. Since power had cutoff steering and braking the vehicle was extremely difficulty. Stopped the vehicle safely and placed the shifter into park and turned the ignition to the off position. Restarted the vehicle with no indication of any further problems. Two months later the same problem occured but vehicle was traveling at 35 mph this time.
My traction sensor is not working which is causing my a safety issue. When i start driving (in motion), the abs traction starts even when there is no water, ice or poor driving conditions. The dealership replaced the abs module and its still doing it. They now say they will have to replace the sensor in the steering column (wheel). This is very scary as it stops my acceleration and it affects the anti-lock breaks. I was hoping this was all due to an minor auto collision but the insurance company told me there is absolutely no way this could have been caused because of it. They said its a coincidence and that it just happened on its own at the same time. I would say the fault is unknown.
I used my remote key button to start my vehicle, when i opened the door to enter the vehicle i noticed that the windshield wipers came on by them selves, they operated as if they were on delay until i placed the ignition key into the slot and place it in the start position, i then backed up and headed to work, all the way into town my dash lights flickered off and on, the wipers operated all by themselves even though they were turned off, the key chime continually chimed, both of the front window and the side view mirror control buttons on the driver side control panel did not work, but the side door window buttons and the rear louver window buttons and the passenger door window control panel buttons worked, the headlights flashed off and on and the turn signal lights were intermittent when switched on, as i said before the driver side window buttons would not work, therefore i could not use hand signals and i almost got rear ended. Also when applying the brake pedal the brakes would chatter and the front end of the vehicle shook so much it felt like the front end was going to come off. So i shut off the vehicle and started it normally with the key in the ignition, it still went crazy, the same thing was happening as described earlier, i later looked online and one forum answer said to disconnect the battery to try and do a reset, i disconnected the battery completely and then after 5 minutes i hooked the battery back up and started the vehicle, no change it was still doing the same thing and continues to do it every time i start the vehicle.i cannot afford another vehicle payment, so i continue to drive it this way! i have seen this problem mentioned all over the internet posted on many chrysler and dodge product forums! it seems to be that there are not any recalls or tsr's relating to this problem but there certainly should be!!!!

Brake pedal is spongy. Braking not effective. Master cylinder is leaking. Brake pads wore out at 20,000 miles.
I was driving down the highway at 55 and the rear 3rd light brake assembly broke off and crashed on the road.
Vehicle shuts off randomly while in motion on city streets going between 10 - 30 mph. The recall (r03) for this problem has been done and the shut-offs still happen. Unknown fault or problem. Several diagnostics done over the past 2 years, all to no avail. Engine tune up with plugs performed.map sensor replaced. No error codes.help us!!!
My brakes seem to last from 20,000 to 30,000 miles. Replacement pads are under a one year warranty and those are free when they need replaced. However, after some research, it is the caliper design that is causing this issue. Guide rods need to be constantly greased to avoid sticking. I have seen the brakes smoking a bit a few times and rims feel really hot to the touch due to brakes dragging. Caliper upgrade to the hd 2 piston design seems to fix the issue in newer models. Tired of putting on brakes once a year and this also causes poor gas mileage. Van has 127,000 miles on it currently.
Numerous times the car engine/ignition has shut off while driving. All power assist are then disabled. We have been lucky that so far each event has not been on freeway driving and we were able to sluggishly steer the car to the side of the road.we have filed this complaint with our dealer and with chrysler but are still waiting for recall action. We have been told by our dealership (larry moore chrysler-peoria , az. That the parts for our model year are not even available yet?? what happens if we are in an accident due to this defect??seems unconscionable that chrysler admits the problem (finally), puts out recalls, knows it is a huge safety issue and then is not prompt in settling the matter?
As i left my apartment to go to work, and after driving approximately 1 mile, i approached a stop light.as i pressed the brake pedal, suddenly my power steering went out, the "traction" light turned on on my dashboard, and the engine turned off.i put the car in park, turned the key to the off position, then restarted the van.it drove fine after that.having the engine, steering, and brakes all shut down randomly while the electrical items still work was frightening.if it happens on the highway, i don't know what i will do.
Incident with chrysler town & country 20082/9/15 between 4:26-4:29 p.m.driving slow after just having gotten a green light (25mph or less) hit a big bump in the road.every light on thedashboard lit up and i felt the engine lose power.the van coasted for a couple seconds then seemed to gain power back.went around a bend in the road slowly and the engine lost all power. It did not come back at all this time.i tried to use the turn signal to get turn into a parking lot. Signal did not work.neither did power steering.i could not get van to turn into parking lot.there was a moving vehicle behind me and a parking lot full of cars to my left.i found the automatic brakes were not working.i turned the steering wheel hard to the right to avoid hitting an oncoming vehicle and thankfully the van coasted into a snow bank which stopped it from moving any farther. Turned on the hazard lights. I was able to get the van into park and make sure it really was not going anywhere. I took the keys out of the ignition and waited just under a minute.i decided to put the key back in the ignition and see if i could get the van to start.it started without any noticeable problems?!car key' attached to key ring with other keys.did not receive a notice in the mail about recall. Looked up possible recalls after the fact and yes, there is one.and it is much more serious than chrysler lets on. Tried to contact chrysler by phone several times and can't get through.if this had happened in one of many other places i had been driving that day the accident could've been fatal.
I noticed at approximately 48,000 miles that my 2008 town & country was burning oil during use with no visible oil leaks after taking the vehicle in for an oil change. The mechanic stated that the vehicle was 3 quarts of oil low when checked before draining the oil. I have been checking the oil once per month since. The vehicle now has about 73,000 miles on it and is burning approximately 1 quart of oil each 1500 miles driven. I have never owned a vehicle with this problem and have read other complaints on this site of this same issue. I am lucky that i caught the issue before serious engine damage and repairs were required like some of the other respondents. This issue should be considered for recall or extended coverage in the event that serious issues occur. Other issues i have experienced during my ownership of this vehicle i purchased new are the premature failure of the front hubs and premature wear of the brake components. The front hubs have failed on each side 3 times already in the 73,000 miles and now the drivers side hub is making a loud noise again signaling that it will need to be replaced soon. I have never had this issue with any vehicle that i have owned. To have it happen for the 4th time prior to 100,000 miles would seem to be a defect.the brake components seem to wear out every 15,000 miles and the rotors require replacement each time the pads wear out. This seems to be a quality issue with the parts both new and replacement.
While driving back from work my vehicle turned off completely. It was rolling and i was unable to brake or turn the steering wheel. There was no power steering, no brakes, all the controls and lights were off. I was in the middle of the busy 4 lane street. I put my hazard lights on and moved over to the outside lane and ultimately was able to turn into the parking lot. I sat there for a while stunned by what happened. After a few minutes i tried to start the van. It did start and i was able to continue on my way home. Exactly the same situation occurred today, july 14, 2014. We also have been having issues with starting the van. After turning the key the van starts up and a few seconds later goes dead.
Engine shuts down completely causing loss of power steering and brakes. No warnings, just dies. Diagnostics reveal a bad totally integrated power module. Recalls issued for multiple models but not mine. I was told, i have all the symptoms but i don't have the flu ! now they want almost $ 1000 to fix it ! it's an established, defective part but they'll let me drive away in it unless i can come up with the money. Chrysler said it's the same part as the recalled ones but i don't have a recall on my model. Ant time any where at any speed, it shuts down.
The contact owns a 2008 chrysler town and country. The contact stated that while driving 40 mph, the abs system engaged independently. The contact shut off, restarted the vehicle and it operated normally. The vehicle was taken to a local mechanic for diagnostic testing. The mechanic stated that the abs system had failed. The mechanic replaced a serious of unknown sensors but the repair did not remedy the defect. The mechanic advised the contact to take the vehicle to a dealer for a system download. The contact did not take the vehicle to the dealer. The failure mileage was 90,000.
The contact owns a 2008 chrysler town and country. The contact stated that while traveling 60 mph, the brakes failed and began to grind. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer for inspection where they stated that the rotors, calibers and the brake pads needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified and they informed the contact to take the vehicle to the dealer for repair. The failure mileage was 28,000.
Vehicle stops running at random. It has happened numerous times driving at any and all speeds, cutting out power steering and brakes while at speeds of 55 mph making it extremely hazardous.
The contact owns a 2008 chrysler town & country. The contact stated that the brake pads and rotors were wearing prematurely. The contact mentioned that the failure recurred four times. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the technician diagnosed that the brake pads and rotors needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 2,500 and the current mileage was 48,600.
Took vehicle in to my shop to service rear brakes, they were grinding. I expected to have to replace pads and rotors. We hadn't done it in the 40k miles we've owned it and didn't have it's service history prior to that. The mechanic found the rear brakes had been frozen closed for "a long time." due to this, he said temps had gotten so hot back there that the brake hoses were extremely warped and the brake fluid had turned to sludge. I had to replace the hoses, calipers, pads, and rotors and flush the brake system fluid. I'm worried had this continued we would have been in a situation where we couldn't stop or we could have had a fire.
Within the first 10 to 15 minutes of driving the vehicle, the engine will shut off causing extremely hard steering and braking. There does not seem to be a pattern as to if i use the remote start or just the key. It does seem to happen more in cold weather than when the weather is warmer. This happens on the average of 3 to 5 times a week. After the engine cuts off and then re-started, there are no other cut offs until the vehicle sits for some period of time and started up again. This is so serious that my wife and daughter cannot drive the vehicle. I know that a recall has been issued but it has been several months and there isnothing (according to the dealer) that can be done so the vehicle can be driven safely!help please!!
I was driving on a ny highway at 60 mph when my car suddenly shut off and the ignition turned to the acc position. I had my child in the back seat and we narrowly escaped an accident. I brought the car to my chrysler dealership and paid $800 for a clockspring which i was told would prevent this from happening again. It just happened again 3 weeks ago. This time i was in rush hour traffic and almost caused a multiple car collision. I had no control over steering wheel or brakes. The car completely shuts off. I called chrysler and they said "wow, i never heard that before". Really?? because models 2009-present have been recalled for this exact issue yet you have no idea what i'm talking about. My car was at the dealership again for 11 days and i was told they don't know what the problem is either. I spent $900 on a rental for that waste of time. These 2008 cars need to be recalled before someone gets killed.i do believe it will happen soon because this is a scary situation to be in.
The tipm is a cause of the vehicle horn honking, wipers moving on their own, wiper fluid spraying, and the lights flashing by themselves. I have had the vehicle randomly stall by itself on the highway while my wife was driving it and this has happened several times. These issues seem to mysteriously go away when i try to diagnose the issue. Last week the battery died and because of it being a few years old and now being in the winter, i decided to replace it only to have it die again a day later. Took the vehicle to a mechanic who tested the charging system and said it was all good. Then proceeded to do a parasitic draw test where he determined that the tipm was causing the issues. I did some google searches and found that this is a wide stream problem with many owners of various chrysler vehicles having the same issue. This is not safe especially when the vehicle shuts down while driving it and there are no power brakes or steering capabilities. A person could end up in a terrible accident or even be killed not to mention other drivers being at risk also. Doesn't seem to make much sense that chrysler is dragging this on and not doing anything not to mention that i can't even order the part because it's on a national back order. This has happened several times in the last year and a few times last year but the tech was unable to correctly diagnose the issue.
After changing brake components and bleeding system. The brake pedal continues to go to the floor. Occasionally working as if nothing is wrong .all this after bleeding system and obtaining a solid pedal. Diy videos have shown others with the same issues and no real answer as to what part to replace or if its available. The master cylinder being changed has not resolved the problem. The vehicle continues to be driven in town and highway. Stopping the van takes more time and is scary because sometime it takes several attempts at pressing and or pumping before slowing and stopping. Also when at a stop light the pedal will sometimes go all the way to floor yet still holds vehicle in the stopped position
The contact owns a 2008 chrysler town and country. The contact stated that while driving 15 mph, the brakes made an abnormal noise whenever they were applied in an attempt to stop the vehicle. The failure occurred on several occasions . The vehicle was taken to the dealer and an independent mechanic. The mechanic performed diagnostic testing and stated that the brake pads and rotors needed to be replaced.the vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not notified about the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 21,000....updated 09-05-14updated11/5/15
I purchased a used 2008 chrysler town and country touring edition with appx. 30,000 miles on it in late 2011.in may of 2012, i had an accident which only affected myself and the vehicle.while traveling approximately 45 mph the passenger rear wheel came off of the vehicle, causing the van to slam to the ground and me to perform emergency maneuvers to stop.the wheel, having had all five lug bolts sheared off, had bounced off of the vehicle doing considerable body damage.the brakes, axle, tire, et al had to be replaced.i chalked this up to coincidence, paid my deductible, and had over $3,000 worth of work done to repair the damage from the accident.this past sunday, august 24th, 2014, the exact same thing happened. I was traveling slower this time, about 25 mph, and when i heard the same wheel making noise i pulled off the road into a strip mall parking lot just in time to have the wheel come off again, this time doing damage to the rear quarter panel, the bumper, the axle, brakes, tire, et cetera.it also forced me to make another emergency stop, this time in the lot, where the right side of my vehicle was damaged by the handle of a commercial dumpster that stopped my skid.i reached out to chrysler because i cannot believe that the exact same thing to the exact same wheel would happen twice, and i now chalk it up to a parts failure on chrysler's end.i was at first told that they were not responsible and that nothing would be done on their end.the following day, i spoke with the chrysler dealership where the van was towed and was told by their head mechanic that the failure was due to the (factory) alloy rim.i again contacted chrysler with this new information and was told that my case was being moved up to a "specialist" and that i would have to wait 3-5 days before i heard from them.i no longer feel safe transporting my family in this vehicle.
3 occasions driving my 3 children to school my town and country became unresponsive. The steering failed, brakes and the car went unresponsive. The electric stability control warning light came on. To remedy, i had to put car in park, and restart vehicle.the last instance when this occurred i rolled into a four way stop as my breaks did not work. An online search has shown many other have experienced this issue with the dodge caravan and town & country both made by chrysler.took van to dealer who said diagnostic test showed nothing (other people report this same experience). They updated the pcm software. I find it hard to believe a software update would render my car safe to drive and be the factor that caused it's whole system, brakes included to shut down.this issue needs to be looked at. Mini van drivers carry children!
While driving in residential area, van would completely shut off (stall) without notice. Radio/dvd would continue. Major problem with the shut off is that there is no power steering and the brakes ould not work! it's happened multiple times. The next day the engine light came on. Took to the dealership and the only code was egr valve code. Technician did not connect it to the engine failure. After discussing with chryler, they felt that the egr valve does contribute to the engine failure at low speed.
A accident has not been caused as of yet.we had the back brakes completely overhauled last year because they were ceased causing loss of pressure in the brake system. Brakes had to be pumped before you could come to a complete stop. Caliper, pads, rotors and brake adapter were all replace. We picked up the van 10/1/14 after having this done.here it is 9/15 and the back calipers have already ceased, causing the rotors to warp again. The whole system will have to be replaced again.this is obviously caused by a design flaw in the braking system!
I just had my front brake pads and rotors replaced.i had them replaced on 2/14/2012.my rear rotors and pads are ok, but need to be replaced soon.i had them replaced less than a year ago.i have searched on the internet this same issue for my year, make and model, and i found hundreds upon hundreds of complaints.chrysler needs to recall the brake system...one should not have to replace the brakes and rotors every year.
The contact owns a 2008 chrysler town and country. While turning the ignition over, the vehicle remained idle and the brakes and power steering seized without warning. The failure recurred on four occasions. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic for diagnostic testing, but found nothing wrong with the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 120,000.
The contact owns a 2008 chrysler town and country. While driving at an unknown speed and attempting to engage the brakes, an abnormal sound emitted from the rear of the vehicle and the brakes malfunctioned. Due to the failure, the front wheel bearings became defective. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The technician diagnosed that the brakes needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 6,000.
The first problem we noticed with the van was the brakes. They wear out way to quickly. In the 5 years we have had the van we have replaced the brakes 6 times and rotors 2 times.the next problem was what seems to be a well documented leak of the coolant on to the engine causing smelly smoke. We were forced to by the part from the dealer as it was not available anywhere else and paid over 100.00 for it. Thankfully my husband was able to replace it. Now at 80000 miles the key and ignition has been having issues. It started with not being able to remove the key fob. The engine will cut off but it will only go into accessory. If left overnight or for sometime it will kill the battery.it started occasionally and has progressed to almost every time you cut the engine off you cannot remove the key fob. It will release but it is after sometime sitting in park. It is very frustrating having to leave your key in the ignition andbe forced to leave it sitting in a random parking lot and just hope that when you return the battery is not dead. I have researched this issue and it is very common among this van and other chrysler vehicles.at this point i am so fed up with it if someone decided to steal it because they saw the key in it i would just wish them good luck. I will never own another chrysler !seems like there has to be a fire injury or fatality for them to do anything to satisfy all the unhappy customers they have.
While in motion on a city street the vehicle's engine, power steering, and brakes shut down.luckily no accident, but had to come to a stop on city street while travelling with traffic to restart vehicle.electrical system appeared to be operating but had to use manual power to steer and stop the vehicle - no power from engine.this has happened about 6 or 7 times, but three times in past week.
The abs control module is defective and the anti-lock system is not operating correctly. I have had to replace brake pads 3 times in the last two years. I took my van in for brake repair and the service tech (who had worked for chrysler previously) detected the issue and found the recall affecting the vehicle (nhtsa campaign # 09v351000). Fca has a technical service bulletin out on this issue and this is a recall out for this problem, affecting my make & model year but my vin number does not apply to the recall. How can this be?
Brakes have been a problem sense purchased new. They sometimes get hot enough to catch fire. We took the car to the dealer and we were told this normal. The service manager said it was the way it was being driven. After several attempts to get the dealership to replace the brakes we took the car to independent shop. The pads,rotors,calipers and brake lines were replaced with after market parts. These also got hot caught fire. We then took the car to a different chrysler dealershipand was told we should have used oem parts. We then had this dealership replace the aftermarket parts with oem parts. The brakes again continued to run hot. 3,000 miles later the steering wheel began to vibrate and smoke came into the vehicle. During the 99,000 miles we have used this minivan the brakes always ran hot and have caught fire three times. Looking on the internet i see thousands have similar problems. The average brake life on this van is about 20,000 miles. Our previous dodge van ran 120,000 miles before any brake work. The chrysler minivan has a problem with hydraulic pressure not being completely released when the brakes are released. This creates excessive overheating and sometimes fire.
Drove car approx 100 feet, 1st thing in the morning.used brakes at end of driveway, then started driving and all 4 brake related lights came on - abs light, traction control light, brake light, esp bas light.all 4 lights remained on.they were not on when car intially started, but came on immediately after using the brakes for the 1st time.always remained on until car was turned off.took car to shop next day and the diagnostic showed the anti lock module was failing.not overly safe to drive young kids around, so we went ahead with the repair.chrysler informed the shop that they sell roughly 15 of these parts a week.shop questioned why they were not recalled as that # is quite high.new module has been in for about a week and all seems fine.updated 7/29/2015
Breaks keeps acting up, clicking all the time really loud, put about 2 new break jobs on it a year, never get fixed, have tried different pads and rotors.
While in motion, the electrical system and engine will suddenly turn off, which will then depower various key safety systems including but not limited to air bags, power steering, and power braking. Loss of functionality of these systems increase the risk of crash and/or increase the risk of injury in the event of a crash.this happens with no warning while driving at highway speed on the highway.this has happened multiple times.i have no choice but to drive it this way.
The contact owns a 2008 chrysler town and country. The contact received a recall notification for nhtsa campaign number: 14v373000 (electrical system). While driving 2 mph, the engine stalled, the steering seized, and the brakes locked. The contact was able to restart the vehicle after several attempts. The failure has occurred for the past four years. The dealer was unable to duplicate the failure. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was unknown.
While driving the van stopped working, instrument panel lit up, ac and radio turned off,steering locked and brakes did not work. Contacted local dealership they were unable to diagnose after 2 days. Took it home and same thing happened on 7/11/14. Brought to non-dealership mechanic who is looking into steering column/electrical problem but still nothing after 3 days. I have an extended warranty on vehicle so plan to submit expenses to chrysler.
2nd set of brakes prematurely failing. First set of front and rear brakes failed at 21,811 miles and were covered under chrysler recall in 2010. The brakes installed at that time have failed with 45,000 miles on the vehicle with 23,189 miles on the brakes. Independent repair shop told me that 1mil was left on the brakes and rotors needed to be replaced as well. The repair shop said they have never seen anything like it before with such low miles and brakes completely shredded!!! he said that i was very close to complete loss of brakes which could have resulted in an accident. Total cost of repairs are $379 not including tax. There are thousands of other town and country owners that are having the same problems - when are you going to do something about!!! these vans are dangerous. Chrysler already replaced the front brakes for this vehicle once before for premature failure - there is obviously a issue with this van. I have contacted chrysler today 8/22/12 and they refuse to acknowledge the problem and will not offer any assistance. The customer service rep exact words were "we don't know anything about a problem with the brakes."
Our van makes a grinding or rubbing noise coming from the front end/axles.it is especially noticeable when we are turning.it sounds like a fluttering/grinding of metal or some part that is revolving with the wheels as we drive.we had the brake rotors replaced and pads replaced.that helped with the shimmy we felt while braking, but the rubbing/grinding sounds persist.we are being told it might be wheel bearings.others have reported similar problem to nhtsa for this model/year t&c mini van. There is a service notification k19 for this exact problem on some 2008 models.i think our van vin# should be added to that list of "some 2008 models."
I was driving down my residential street traveling < 25mph taking my 3 young children to school when i veered to the right around our curved street and the traction control and abs brakes begin to kick in causing the car to slow to almost a stop without touch the brakes and creating a loud rubbing noice.i proceeded down the street and the same problem kept happening everytime. I tried to turn left or right.this was a huge saftey concern for me and my family as this could have happened while we were driving on the freeway or in front of the children's school.i brought it to a local certified mechanic and they diagnossed the provlem as a clock spring issue.while research clock springs, i found information that stated that a clock spring should not have any funtioning problems in vehicles with less than 70,000 miles.
The contact owns a 2008 chrysler town and country. The contact heard an abnormal rattling noise when decelerating the vehicle. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the brake calipers seized. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified and referred the contact to nhtsa. The failure mileage was 90,000.
The contact owns a 2008 chrysler town and country. The contact stated that while driving approximately 35 mph, the brake pedal had to be applied with extreme pressure to bring the vehicle to a stop. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who stated that the brakes needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 60,303.
The contact owns a 2008 chrysler town and country. While driving approximately 5 mph, the abs indicator illuminated and the brake pedal felt harder to depress. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the abs module was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The local dealer and manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 101,000.
Our 2008 town & country touring has begun shutting down while moving without warning.it has happened six times in 3 months at both lower speeds, and once going 60+ mph on a busy interstate.when it loses power, we lose steering and breaking power making it very difficult to control the vehicle.this is a very dangerous situation, particularly for a car normally filled with children.it also occasionally will stall every time you start it.ours will throw no codes and no warning lights come on, so no one has been able to find the problem.the dealership claims no knowledge.this problem is discussed on multiple forums and going back only one year there are at least 7 other complaints of the same issue (odi id numbers: 10453837, 10452564, 10450629, 10441113, 10438800, 10428568 & 10422766) and many more dating past that.i know you all are probably very busy reviewing complaints, but chrysler and nhtsa should not be waiting for some one to get in a serious accident before figuring this out becomes a priority.
Since purchasing the used 2008 chrysler t&c we noticed the brakes were squeaky, caused vibration, or made a strange noise when turning. We have had to replace brakes and rotors multiple times and on our way back to the garage to find out why there's a new noise when we turn a corner. Overall very disappointing for chrysler to create such a sub-par product for a family vehicle.
Driving down the road at 55 night driving ! complete loss of power steering engine and braking all hampered by loss of power as i tried to slow vehicle to a safe stop all of a sudden power came back.this was a complete safety issue with no power no headlights no taillights driving 55 at night on a back country highway and the vehicle only has 50000 miles on it.
Car lost power steering and brakes, found out later there was a recall (l25). Brought to dealership in old saybrook, ct. Parts not available. Recall is for exactly the same symptoms we experienced. Called chrysler for rental or other dealerships, told i was out of luck and out of warranty it is not a warranty issue it is a recall issue. They said park it or drive it. They say it is safe but it is not. If the engine turned off on the highway my kids would be dead. Its ridiculous that they have a safety recall and don't have the parts, they are open for huge liability there. Bottom line is i don't have a safe car due to their defect, and they wont do anything about it. Eta on repair part is not know by chrysler.
Incident 1: 10/29/14 while driving with my child, the vehicle's engine shut off causing the vehicle to loose power brakes & steering function.engine would not turn over.vehicle towed for repair.starter relay replaced.incident 2: 11/28/14 while driving my two children, at a high rate of speed, on i-75, the vehicle's engine shut off causing the vehicle to loose power brakes & steering function.engine would not turn over.engine then turned over.vehicle driven to owner's residence.11/29/14 engine would not turn over.vehicle towed to chrysler dealership for inspection.
Front brakes grinding . It needs new front pads and rotors at only 16,000 miles.
While driving down a main road, the car suddenly shut down. Nothing worked. I could not brake or steer as power steering went. The only thing that stayed on was the radio. Car slowly coasted and eventually stopped. My 2 young children were in the car, i have already told dealer about this and they said they could find nothing wrong but that it sounds like a key roll back issue. They told me if it happens while driving again i should turn key as it may have moved from on position to acc position due to a bump in the road.turning the key did nothing. After the car stopped i attempted to restart car and everything worked except the malfunction indicator light stayed on.this is a serious issue and chrysler service department did not seem to care when i called! then i begin researching and find that they recalled 2009 vehicles of the same make for the same problem!
This is in ref to recall l25.my car over the past 3 weeks is consistently shutting off while driving at least 1x per day.i have almost been in 4 accidents as a result.one time it happened as i was entering a busy interstate.chrysler has not eta on the piece to fix the car.i called and they said to call you.i transport a special needs child daily and this is getting ridiculous.i have been on busy main roads, on side roads and driving around a traffic circle and the ignition slips out of the on position, motor dies, i lose power steering and brakes and airbags.i have all keys removed from the key fob and it happens on a daily basis.i will leave the parking deck at my work today and it will shut off going down the ramp and i struggle to steer, stop, put car in park, restart and continue on...hoping i don't get hit or that i hit someone else.i need a temporary car until they can fix this.my key fob sits in the key hole lose and the littlest of bumps throws turns off my car.i either need resolution asap or another car until fixed.if i have an accident then we will see what an attorney has to say.this recall occurred months ago and chrysler is yet to fix it.
Vehicle has repeatedly needed to have brake rotors replaced due to severe vehicle shuddering when applying the brakes which is worst at highway speeds causing the steering wheel to oscillate.this also negatively impacts vehicle stopping power.this is most likely due to improperly sized or designed brakes for the weight of this vehicle causing the rotors to overheat and warp.there is no way these parts last through typical driving behavior.there are multiple complaints of similar nature that can be located at http://www.lemonlaw.com/wordpress/dodge-chrysler-brake-problems/.
My town and country is involved in the l25 recall. There have been several occasions where during operation, the key moves from the "on" position. This causes the vehicle to shut off and i am unable to steer or engage the brakes. I have contacted chrysler several times about this and to receive an estimated time of when the parts will be available for repair. I contacted them today, 1/6/2015 to let them know that it happened again and i almost caused an accident on a major highway. I also requested for them to provide me with a safe vehicle to drive while waiting on the parts for repair due to the concern i had for the safety of my children and other drivers. They said that it was not possible because they did not know when the parts would be available. This disregard for the safety of my family and the public is unacceptable. I would like to be contacted and informed of other actions i can take so that injuries and/or deaths do not occur due to their failure to remedy this defect and refusal to provide me with temporary safe transportation.
In my 2008 chrysler town and country which now has about 70,000 miles on it i have changed the front brakes and rotors 6 diffrent times.when going down a hill and braking the steering wheel shakes so bad and i dont feel like i have a full pedal.have taken back several times to ask about the problem and all i get is a run around from a chrsler garage.
We have had to replace all 4 brake pads and rotors at 20,000 miles. Now, at 33,000 miles the rear pads and rotors have to be replaced again! yet all i've read is that chrysler is only paying $100 of the cost and only on the front brakes. There are a myriad of complaints of this very problem all over the internet. Isn't there something nhtsa can do to force chrysler to back their defective product?
Premature brake wear - i have owned the car for 2.5 years ($45,000 miles) and have had to replace all 4 brakes and pads 3 times.this is unsafe and needs to be addressed.
Incident #1: rear wheel noisy, sounded like a bad wheel bearing on the passenger side. Took it to a chrysler 5 star dealer, they said the brake was stuck, needed 2 new rear calipers, pads, rotors, $750. Van had about 30k miles.incident #2: rear wheel noisy, sounded like a bad wheel bearing. Checked the brakes myself, drivers side brake is stuck. Rotor is worn down, pads worn down to nothing. Fitted new pads, rotors. Van had about 50k miles.incident #3: rear wheel noisy, sounded like a bad wheel bearing. Drivers side rear brake stuck on, wheel was nuclear hot. Probably needs new pads and rotors again! van has about 70k miles.the dealer stiffed me for expensive new calipers that weren't necessary. This is a pad/frame design problem. The pads stick in the frame and don't retract from the rotor. This is a common problem, although of course the dealer will deny it and upsell you new calipers. New vans have redesigned brakes.this van needs expensive new rear brakes every 20-30k miles due to a dangerous design error. The rear brakes can quickly wear out or get stuck on.
We have two issues.first:during an abrupt stop recently, the brake pedal mashed to the floor.the vehicle didn't want to stop.i thought it was the abs kicking in, but they are designed to stop the vehicle and keep you from sliding the wheels.this just doesn't seem right and its not the first time we noticed something out of the ordinary.our van was made for traveling, but when loaded down (not overloaded either) the brakes start to act up.for instance when you start to slow down the vehicle front end will start to shake.i have newer brakes on the front, new tires (2-weeks old) and brand new rotors (less than 2 months old) on the vehicle so i know nothing is out of balance.i simply don't trust my van and am seriously worried that there is a defect.i have a tow hitch on my vehicle, but am afraid to pull my motorcycle on it because of the brakes acting up.i can only imagine what would happen if i had my trailer hitched.no warning lights are on, but we've noticed that during a quick turn the warning bell dings and a light comes on then goes off immediately.second:the powertrain doesn't' shift smoothly.i mentioned this to the dealer's maintenance shop, but the guy told me they wouldn't do anything (warranty wise) unless there was catastrophic failure with the powertrain system.i have a 100k mile powertrain warranty, and feel the dealer is skirting the issue to keep from paying for covered problems.
In one month our brakes have locked up on us while driving. This past time, a "flash flame" sparked, went out immediately but still smoked. Had both of my kids in car seats at the time. Towed to chrysler dealership and they "couldn't figure out the problem" so wanted us to pay $4,000 just to replace the entire brake system instead of taking their time to pin point what the problem could be. It was in the shop for 16 days and only 1 of those 16 days was it looked at. Then the gentlemen kept pushing blame on another company, etc. Then when we picked the van up, the engine light was on along with the steering wheel winding. Never has the engine light come on until it was in their hands. They are also stating that there was never a "flame", i had my family and a stranger help me at the scene and there was soot along with the brake line having some kind of damage from being melted. They are not helping us at all! this is a very dangerous matter!! we have read several forums with other people have this same issue and the rotors, brake pads, calipers continuously prematurely having to be replaced. I even emailed chrysler the links.
Engine was started and journey started on tarmac road.2 minutes later, esp amber warning light illuminated, power steering disengaged and brakes went hard.acceleration was not possible.car had to be forced to side of road and restarted.this has happened twice in one month.
The contact owns a 2008 chrysler town and country. The contact stated that the vehicle accelerated and the entire instrument panel warning lights illuminated. The contact mentioned that the power steering failed and was unable to apply the brakes. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the win module and ignition switch needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 78,029 and the current mileage was 86,000.
When driving at 30 mph esp/ bas/abs & brake lights appear on the dash,then steering became difficult .we are so grateful it's not on the highway.
Had chrysler 2008 town & country from 4/24/08 to 7/25/10.had 3 repairs done, and in aug2010 signed for ownership. Had recall on front brakes, took to dealer, who checked front and back brakes. Told dealer there was a "howling" in rear and right rear tire was very hot. Dealer said front brakes appeared ok, butmfg. Did not lubricate rear brakes as they were dry and completely shot. Had to replace rear brakes , rotors and calipers pads for $324.00. Car had only 16,497 miles and was 2 1/2 years old. Called chrysler and they said would issue one time refund. Called later and they said would not replace as this was "normal wear and tear". Checked on line there were 111 complaints for same car...then they are replaced many times! i would not buy another chrysler although i had a 2004 for a few years with no problem.
I purchased the vehicle in may of 2009. After 3 weeks i noticed noise that sounded like the brakes were bad. I had the vehicle checked on 6/2009, 8/2009, and 12/2009 was told they were fine. And that it was the type of material that is used. 1/27/2010 was told i need new brakes and rotors at 25432 miles. Called dealer/chrysler to find out about warrenty and was told that is not covered. I thought it had a bumper tp bumper warrenty till 36,000 miles. Dealer lied to me. It is going to cost $650.00 to fix it. I have done research and found out this is a common problem with the chrysler products. I also can not get the tire-pressure monitoring system to turn off. I was told the tires are fine.cn
My 2008 chrysler town & country needs new brakes and the front and rear rotors resurfaced after only 12,000 miles.it does not seem reasonable that the brakes would wear down so quickly.
While driving at 65 mph, the drivers side rear brake calipers locked on, and made a loud noise. I exited the freeway, stopped the car and noticed the rear wheel was very hot and had a strong burning smell.the fenton, mi chrysler dealer immediately and accurately guessed that my car was a 2008 town & country minivan, and he even knew it affected the drivers side rear wheel.he had seen this many times with early 2008 t& c's.why has chrysler not yet issued a recall?this is a severe safety issue.the dealer fixed the problem at no charge, since, at 31,000 miles, my car is still under warranty.however, my concern is for other drivers of this vehicle.i believe there should be an investigation to determine if a recall would be appropriate.
Brake pads and rotors need to be replaced every 8k to 14k miles, recall j29 radiator capand k04 discharge hose - parts ordered july 26,2010.vehicle brought in for service again on sept 27 2010 dealership "ordered the parts again because they never replaced them. Brought the vehicle to another dealership on nov 18 2010 and these recalled were corrected along with k14 for power door possibly causing a fire.
My 2008 chrysler town and country needs new front brake pads and routers at 20k and chrysler will not pay for any of the repairs and told me to expect to replace these every 12k-20k in the future.
Leased 2008 chrysler town & country in march 2008.at 12,000 miles we experienced loss of braking, screeching, grinding and had dealer inspect brakes - was told pads were completely worn to metal and had to have brake pads replaced and rotors machined.at 21000 loss of braking again, grinding, pulling and dealer reports that rotors are below machine tolerance, pads are worn to metal and rotors have to be replaced.dealer reports this is "normal" for this van.clearly the brake materials/system are inadequate for this van and present a significant safety issue - as no driver has an expectation of brake wear and failure at 12,000 mile intervals.
My 2008 chrysler town and country's brakes have failed at 16,000 miles.fortunately, there wasn't an accident, but this is a serious safety concern.ewald (milwaukee) my dealer has to completely replace my front and rear brakes.from my internet research, there seems to be thousands of people with the same problem.i have contacted chrysler.
2008 chrysler town and country brakes were replaced at 20,000 miles and factory warranty was for 10,000 miles.i had to replace both break pads and rotors on a new vehicle.
I wish to file a complaint about the 2008 chrysler town and country vans.these vans were produced with sub standard brake pads and rotors that wear out very prematurely and risk causing serious injury.most people do not expect their vehicles brake pads and rotors to wear out at 18,000 miles and as such could ignore important signs that a problem is ahead.at some point a brake failure is going to occur and someone will get injured or killed due to loss of brakes.this is an issue that chrysler needs to issue a recall on immediately.there are literally thousands of blogs on the internet of people that have had to change their brake pads and rotors at very low miles on brand new vans.thank you! gregg henricks
We have had to replace the brakes and rotors 3 times in our 2008 chrysler town and country van. The first at about 15,000 miles at a cost of 400.00, the second at a cost of 300.00 at 24,000, and now at 34500 miles another set of brakes.the brakes are defective and need to be recalled and replacement vehicles given. Dealership admits problem, but no recourse against chrysler.
2008 town and country minivan brakes are insufficient.i have to change front brake pads at 14, 000 miles. Not good . Looks like brakes were not designed to take van weight.
I have had the front brakes pads replaced at 15000 miles, and then the front pads replaced again at about 30000 miles. The rear pads were replaced also around 30,000 miles.when at the dealer for an oil change at 50000 they said the rear pads need replacing. I was fed up with the brakes on this vehicle and did not have the dealer repair them. Today at about 54000 miles i took my vehicle into midas and they showed me that the rear drivers side brake pad was wore down nearly all the way while the rear passenger side pad was only about half. (unever wear). The rear drivers side rotar also showed signs of overheating. (had a blueish/purple sheen to it) i paid about 600 bucks to have the rear pads, calibers, and rotars replaced with ceramic pads.
The contact owns a 2008 chrysler town and country. The contact was driving 45 mph when a roaring sound was heard from the vehicle as the brakes were depressed. The brakes were extremely difficult to depress and the vehicle did not respond to braking attempts. There was an increase in braking distance and time as the vehicle rolled to a stop. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the manufacturer was contacted but the vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 55,000 and the current mileage was 62,000.
2008 chrysler town & country brake pads had to be replaced at 15,800 miles.the brake system (rotors & pads) on the 2008 town & country are inadequate for this van and should be recalled.
Purchased a 2008 chrysler town and country touring brand new in may 2008.within the first 12,000 miles we've had multiple problems with this van.as far as the safety problems specifically, the brake system has been a nightmare.the parking brake cable snapped in two and became dangerous when i couldn't park on a hill without it.this was fixed under warranty through the dealership.the next safety related issue was that the brakes on the van started to squeal and were quickly metal on metal.i brought the van into our local tire place to have a regular brake job done and was told that the rotors and pads were completely shot and cost over $300 to have replaced.the manager said i was one of 12 other customers in the last few months with 2008 dodge/chrysler minivans having this problem.he said that he spoke with someone from chrysler to see about having this repair covered under warranty and said that the person at chrysler that he spoke with casually mentionedthat "of course this happened, they used cheap parts" on these vans.i still have the original rotors and pads if anyone needs them for investigation.an entire chunk of metal had chipped off of one rotor!!the tech. At the repair shop said they were the cheapest made things they've seen on a new vehicle.no vehicle driven under normal, carpooling circumstances should ever have rotors and pads wear out at 12,000 miles.i would like to see this looked into as to why this is happening with this year van through this make.thanks.
Chrysler town & country with 21,000 miles only presents excessive wear of brake pads. Symptoms of the problem were noise, vibration and lately difficulty in braking: car did not stop with brake pedal full down. Dealer service reports states that front brake pads have only 5% life remaining and pads and rotors had to be replaced for a total cost of $335 at owner expense. Chrysler has issued a service bulletin no. 05-006-08 on 12.09.2008 stating that "front brake pads may exhibit excessive noise, squeal/shudder/vibration and/or lining life complaints." but has not issued a recall even if this is a major safety issue. Chrysler customer service did not refund the expense for pads and rotors replacement stating that brakes are a wear component and wear out in different ways. An internet search shows that this is a major problem of this vehicle and many customers have filed complaints: http://www.edmunds.com/chrysler/townandcountry/2008/consumerreview.html , http://www.fixya.com/cars/t2122925-early_wear_front_brakes_rotors_2008_town , etc. According to many customers, pads and rotors have to be replaced in this van every 15,000 miles to ensure the safety of the occupants.
Chrysler town & country needing new brake pads and rotors after on 20,000 miles.
New front brake pads were needed at 15k miles. At 30k miles, rear pads were down to 10% and needed to be replaced. Also at 30k miles, the front pads had 40% left, but the front rotors where damaged beyond repair. Replaced front rotors and front/rear pads at an expense of $500. Mechanic and chrysler customer service reps (two csrs so far) acknowledge this is a repeating and known issue. No recalls or resolution from chrysler to date.
2008 chrysler t & c brakes failing & need to be replaced @ 20000 miles & 12 mo. Of ownership. Had replaced by dealer & needs to be replaced again after just 13 mos. & 20000 miles more.chrysler admits to a flaw- the brakes too small for size & weight of vehicle. Brakes need to be recalled & chrysler needs to fix flaw.
Bought a 2008 chrysler town and country with 12,000 miles on it within 2 weeks of owning had to take back to dealer to have new pads on the front and rotors turned front and rear.at 16,000 miles front and rear pads and rear rotors were replaced and front rotors resurfaced again which put them below specs and at 20,000 miles front rotors were replaced due to dealer error in machining the rotors below specs and replaced front pads.brakes have a very loud squeal that is ear piercing and not normal but i was told by a 3rd dealer that this is a common issue that i just have to live with due to poor design on brakes of these vehicles.very unhappy with my purchase.i have only had the vehicle for 1 1/2 years and only put 9,000 miles on it so far and i am not interested in replacing brakes to line the pockets of a struggling vehicle manufacturer by purchasing their parts.aftermarket pads and rotors are more expensive than oem because the model is newer and because they sell so many.
I originally wrote a letter to chrysler corporation in august of 2010 and instructed them to forward the letter to you.i do not believe that ever happened so i decided i should file a complaint. Myself. Back in 2010 chrysler notified owners that there is a problem with the braking system in 2008 town and country's that leads to premature wear.in the notice it said that chrysler would pay for the first replacement of brake pads and rotors based on low mileage repolacements being required.i feel this is an unsafe situation that with no warning whatsoever the pads can just wear out and the rotors warp.i have had to replace the front brake pads 3 times with new rotors twice.replaced at 12,000, 21,000, 34,000.the vehicle has been through a total of 4 new sets of pads and 3 sets of rotors.i also know that there is a defect with the front end geometry on the van and that could be a contributing factor.at a service appointment shortly after the initial purchase i was informed that the van needed all new struts, shocks, bushings, and front sway bar.the service manager indicated that there was a bulletin, and that the height of the mounting points were off, and thus all new parts were needed to fix the front end geometry, so the front sway bar would not break or wear out prematurely.i feel that the entire brake system is too light for the overall weight of the vehicle and the heat generated by the rotors is very dangerous.i feel the brakes should be recalled by chrysler, and fixed.
The contact owns a 2008 chrysler town & country. The contact stated that the brakes were prematurely wearing. The contact also mentioned that both of the power sliding doors would haphazardly open while the vehicle was in motion. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer and the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 15,000 and the current mileage was 43,000.
Premature wearout of front brake pads on 2008 town & country; pads are wearing out between 12,000 miles and 20,000 miles.
New 2008 chrysler town and country in april 2008.october 2009, with 18,600 miles, noise was coming from front end when brakes applied. Dealer had to replace front pads and rotors.pads wore to metal without any warnings and gouged the rotor.rear brakes were worn to 35% and were replaced also.dealer blamed it on a heavier van and our type of driving and to expect to have to do brake work again in 15,000 to 20,000 miles.we have had many cars/vans, have not changed our type of driving and never replaced brakes with this low mileage.this is a safety issue and should be investigated and recalled.
Needs new front pads and rotors at 14,000 miles. I made the mistake of waiting to long to report problem because the warrantyis 12,000 miles and problem started well before 12,000 miles.
I have had major brake problems with my town and country 2008 van. I first need new rotors and pads at 11,000. Chrysler covered that under warranty. Then again at about 23,000 miles my pads needed to be replaced and rotors refinished. The second job i had done at midas, they had to replace the front brake pads and resurface the rotors two more times (in the last two months) because they keep glazing.bottom line in conversations that i have had, it sounds like the rotors they put on this vehicle are not large enough to handle the weight of the van. I am concerned about this issue and it is creating much anxiety in me. I am always listening to the brakes and wonder how soon i am going to have to take them to be repaired again. I also worry that this can be a dangerous issue. I found forums on-line where thousands of people are having the same issue.
The egr valve has failed resulting in the check engine light coming on. Now the right rear brake caliper has seized causing the brakes to smoke.
Premature brake wear on 2008 chrysler town and country mini-van.brakes need replacement with less than 17k miles on car.
Brakes failed at 15,000 miles needing complete replacement.dealer claimed out-of-warranty. Have driven a chrysler minivan for over 14 years and have never had to replace brakes this frequently before.
2008 chrysler t&c brake issues:i had the brakes replaced at 23,000 miles and now at 30,000 the brakes are squeaking again.i was told by the dealer that it is normal wear and tear.my other vehicle has 130,000 mile and the brakes have only been replaced once.i have read many complaints about this and i am nervous to have my family drive in the vehicle.i have read about the calipers locking up as well, this could cause a very dangerous situation on the highway as well as defeat the abs feature.this needs to be investigated by nhtsa if chrysler is failing to recognize and correct the issue.
After 13k miles had to have the front brakes and rotors replaced.then at about 21k the rear brakes replaced.this is unacceptable and expensive.
I leased a 2008 chrysler town & country in feb. 2008. Today is march 26, 2010. I have roughly 26,000 miles on the vehicle and have taken it to several mechanic, including chrysler service shop at local dealership, and the consensus is that all rotors and brake pads must be replaced, none can be turned/machined/lathed, and nothing is covered under warranty, even though there is a 36,000, 3 year bumper-to-bumper warranty still in effect. The rotors and brake pads put on this vehicle at assembly were sub-par. Chrysler has received thousands of complaints regarding this problem from 2008 t&c owners and refuses to cover the rotor replacement or repair and rountinely puts the blame on the owner.
Brakes and rotors were so shot by 11,000 miles that the pad rivots were rubbing against the rotors and squealing while driving.
I bought this vehicle new in february 2009.at 30k miles the front brakes were squealing and my husband replaced them.the brakes should not have worn out this soon.the inner pad on the right front brake was worn to the metal, ruining the rotor.the outer pad on the front right showed on a 30% wear.thinking that the caliper was defective,we took it to the dealer.the dealer found nothing wrong with the caliper, so they said.at 48k miles, the back brakes were scrubbing...again, this should not happen at this low mileage.we own 3 other chrysler vehicles that have over 200k miles each and the back brakes have never been replaced nor given any trouble.because the back brakes on the 2008 van were scrubbing so badly, my husband preceded to replace them.what he found was an utter disaster. Poor engineering in parking brake design would not allow release of the right parking brake.the inner pad(again on the right side) was completely worn into the rotor.the parking brake does not release when used, therefore the inner brake pad continues to ride on the rotor until it is worn out. Therefore, i cannot use the parking brake anymore.we spoke with several mechanics, even at the chrysler dealership, and was informed by all of them that the brake system used on these vans was the same used previously on honda, toyota, ford, and general motors.all of these auto makers dropped this brake design because it was so poorly designed.chrysler needs to recall these vans and replace the whole braking system!
Excessive front brake wear.the front brakes are worn out, both the pads and rotors have failed at 17,000 miles.in contacting chrysler, i am told that this is a know issue but that they are not willing to do anything to fix this problem until a recall is mandated.i have had this vehicle for 16 months and do what i call normal driving around town and highway.i have hauled a trailer once, for 80 miles, other thannothing out of the ordinary.the brakes are in my opinion not properly sized for the car and could cause serious damage as most people would not expect brake failure after such a short time period.
Thecontact owns a 2008 chrysler town and country.the contact stated that the rear brakes were exhibiting a loud noise.a local mechanic diagnosed that the calibers, brake pads androtors would need replacing.the manufacturer was contacted but offered no assistance.the vehicle was in the process of being repaired.the failure mileage was 26,000 and the current mileage was 28,000.

The contact owns a 2008 chrysler town and country. While driving approximately 25 mph the contact heard a loud squealing sound while depressing the brake pedal. The contact exit the vehicle and upon inspection noticed the front and rearwheels were extremely hot. The failure occurred consistently at different speeds. The weather was not a factor. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The technician stated the front and rear brake pads had to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The failure occurred a second time at approximately 6,000 miles. The vehicle was repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 10,000.updated 12/20/11*lj the consumer stated the brakes and rotors were replaced twice. The brake pads would freeze which caused them to wear prematurely.updated 06/13/12.
Rightrear caliper hanging up. Needed rearcalipers,pads,androtors .frontwheelbrakesok.
2008 chrysler town and country had to have brakes pads and rotors replaced at 22700 miles.
I lease a 2008 chrysler town and country minivan.we have complained about brake noises since taking possession of the vehicle. Now, at 18,000miles, i am told that the brake pads and rotors need to be replaced.i was also told by chrysler that this is a common problem with this model.chrysler refuses to do anything about this other than give me a 20% discount on the repair.
Problem 1 - the van vibrates violently when braking downhill. Changing brake pads, rotors and calipers does not repair the problem.problem 2 - during warm weather (80 degrees and above) the wipers run continually, the powered drivers seat goes back and forth, the gauges do not work, all of the warning lights come on, the headlights come on,the stereo/nav will not work, the a/c quits cooling but the fan continues to blow, the power window will not work and the lift gate will not open.
2008 chrysler town & country - front brake pads needed replacing after only 16,700 miles and 1 1/2 years. Left front brake pad had gone slightly askew and made a groove in the rotor, which needed replacement. Dealer attributed it to "normal wear and tear" and would not cover it under warranty. Never have i had to replace brakes on a brand new car!
Saturday, feb. 13th i noticed a small squeaking in my front brakes. Sunday, feb 14th, there started a grinding noise that would come and go.took it to the shop this morning and was informed @ 28,000 miles my vehicle needed new rotors and brake pads.i had them replaced at cost but i did voice my displeasure, made a complaint with the company.i am not sure if the parts are available but i had the work done feb. 15, 2010 @ 9:00 am.problem is not with dealership but with the fact that after doing some research that this is a common problem and the car company is not willing to resolve this issue.there is a known tsb out there about the wear of the rotors (05-006-08).
I own a 2008 chrysler town & country lx. My brake pads were replaced and rotors turned at 13,300 in oct.08. Later started feeling vibration in steering wheel when applying brakes. This occurred in early oct.09 with around 17,000 miles on van. Took it to dealer in jan 2010because vibrations got so severe. Was told front rotors are glazed and worn and need replacing and pads replaced. Rear rotors need turning and pads replaced. The van has a little over 18,000 miles on it. To many problems with brakes for so few miles on van.
We started hearing squeaking noises in our wheels approximately 9 months after we purchased the new vehicle and both front and rear brakes and rotors needed to be replaced at only 10,000 miles.this was due to severe overheating causing the brakes to prematurely wear.one year later we started hearing the same squeaking noise again and took it back to the dealership and the rear brakes locked again causing severe overheating and premature wearing.it was only 6,000 miles since the last brakes were replaced.our van only has 18,000 miles on it total and the brakes and rotors have been replaced twice.chrysler corp knows of this defect and is unwilling to do anything to rectify the situation.unless the entire brake system is replaced the pads and rotors will continue to wear prematurely.this is a major safety hazard for anyone owning a 2008 chrysler town and country and anyone driving on the road with a 2008 chrysler town and country.if a recall is not initiated someone will die.
Faulty brakes on my 2008 chrysler town & country limited.my van has 49,897 miles on it and it needs a 5th set of front pads.the 4th set of pads were replaced on 7-9-09 when the vehicle had 39,525 miles on it.at that time the front pads, front rotors, rear pads and rear rotors had to be replaced.three months later on 10-10-09 i was informed that the front pads needed to be replaced again with 49,897 miles on the vehicle.each time the brakes were oem parts replaced by the dealer.this is a very dangerous situation because the brakes are not making any noises, but could give out at any moment causing a very serious accident.there is obviously something wrong with the braking system and i am requesting a recall from chrysler.
I own a chrysler town & country 2008, after 20,800 miles the front brake system had to be replaced, including discs and pads, and the rear had to be resurfaced. I complain to the dealership, bakersfield chrysler. They said it was wear and tear, but i argued that there was something wrong if they had to be replaced so fast for no reason. The agreed after much arguing to cover half the cost of the total repairs ($800).then,2 months later , 8/17/09, i start hearing anoise coming from the bottom of the car around where the exhaust is located. I take it to the dealership and they tell me that the exhaust is hanging due to structural failure of the main bracket holding the exhaust. A couple more days in the shop at the dealer till the vehicle is repaired. I expressed my concern about such a new car with hardly any miles on it and having so many problems, the dealership blew me off.now, around 10/9/09 and 30000 miles, i hear the brakes starting to make a little noise again, they tell me they need to replace the front pads and discs and resurface or replace the rear brakes again. The person that help us at bakersfield chrysler told my wife that the reason for the brakes failing again is because we don't know how to drive. I paid for the brakes to be fixed so i didn't have to wait and waste more time on chryslers poor excuses.i have perform every single maintenance procedure recommended by chrysler at the chrysler dealership but i feel the car has a manufacturing problem with the brakes. I am extremely concern with the situation since this is my family vehicle and my two babies and my wife drive it everywhere. The only feedback we have received from chrysler is that we don't know how to drive the car, this is frustrating! in the mean time, i don't know who else to recur to, i have place several complaints with chrysler customer relations and nobody has had the courtesy to call me back.please help me!
The contact owns a 2008 chrysler town and country. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to a local repair facility for routine repairs when he was advised that the brakes were wearing prematurely. The mechanic advised replacing the brakes and rotors. The manufacturer was not contacted. The vehicle was repaired. The failure and current mileage was 39,502.
The contact leased a 2008 chrysler town and country. The contact had taken the vehicle to an authorized dealer for routine maintenance. The technician detected during the brake inspection that 20% life was available. The contact stated that the original brakes in the vehicle had not been replaced. The failure and current mileages were 19,877.
I purchased a 2008 chrysler town & county and had to have brake pads replaced at 15000 miles.the dealership and chrysler seems to think this is normal for this vehicle.i believe the brake system installed on these vehicle is not safe.no one buying this vehicle would expect to have to replace brakes at 15000 miles thus creating a safety conditions for those who do purchase them. I feel they should be recalled and replaced with proper pads and rotor.
My 2008 chrysler town and country started making front brake noise at 25,000 miles. When removing the front wheels for tire rotation, noticed the pads were worn down and the rotors had a deep ridge on the outside.
I bought a brand new 2008 chrysler town and country van in nov 2008. After about a year, dec 2009 my van started shaking badly during braking.it had 17,050 mi (mostly highway miles). I brought the van into a chrysler dealership for inspection. They told me the brakes were 100% shot and i needed a complete brake replacement (rotors, pads, flush, etc.) which cost me $650. I called chrysler complaining that brakes on a new vehicle should not wear out on a vehicle with less than 17k miles (especially the rear brakes).chrysler told me this was normal but would look into it.after a month i've not heard back. I've owned a 1992 and 1999 chrysler vans and never had these brake problems.the front brakes on my older vans lasted over 35k miles and the rear lasted over 50k miles. My neighbor owns a 2006 town & country and has had only 2 brake jobs in 80k miles. Apparently he brake design did not change much from the 2007 model however the 2008 gained a lot of weight (new model) which contributed to the premature brake failure. Minimally, chrysler should have notified me of the premature brake failures but never did.i've checked safety complaints on your odi website and saw 85 complaints for brakes on the 2008 t&c.i also checked complaints for earlier years and only saw only a very few brake complaints. I've checked the internet and found hundreds upon hundreds of complaints related to brake problems on the 08 t&c. So here's my summary: 1) i never expected the brakes to go at such low mileage so if i needed to do an emergency stop i probably would have had an accident.2) apparently there was a design flaw but chrysler refuses to admit it3) chrysler is silently reimbursing owners who file the loudest complaints.odi:you have all these brake complaints for the 08 t&c so how is it that toyota is getting bashed for their brakes but chrysler continues to produce their vans with defective brakes??????
Excessive brake wear and e-brake caliper sticking.i have a 2008 chrysler town and country with 28,000 miles on it. So far i have had to replace the brake pads twice and have the rotors turned once. The abs also pulses at times when i am braking at normal levels and it should not be kicking in. I am also getting substantially lower fuel mileage than advertised for both highway and city driving and suspect that the braking system is keeping some braking pressure on at all times. I have also had extremely hot brakes at times so much so that they have nearly caught fire. Fortunately i have not had any fires to date from the brakes.
2008 chrysler town & country... 5 recalls... Brakes brakes brakes...i have had the brakes replaced 4 times now with 96,000 miles on it. Also the rear driver side caliper froze up and i had to replace the pads,rotor,caliper @ a cost of 250.00. The noise from the front hubs drove me crazy!! paid 550.00 to fix them and got bad parts off the shelf.. Then i got a notice in the mail 3 months after i fixed them about bad bearings in the front and that i can be refunded the money spent to fix them. Now im trying to fill out the paper work need for the refund.
Brakes on 2008 chrysler town and country prematurely worn at 23,000 miles.brakes were inspected by an authorized dealer at 19,200 miles during a routine tire rotation and no notification of worn brake pads was given.at approximately 22,000 miles we began to hear a light grinding in the front right wheel during braking.we took the vehicle into an authorized dealer at 23,600 miles for inspection of the grinding, which had gotten significantly worse.i was notified that the brakes were down to metal on metal and the rotors were too far gone to resurface.authorized dealer replaced the rotors, brake pads, and flushed and replaced the brake fluid at the owner's expense of $575.this appears to be premature for pads to go to metal on metal at only 23,600 miles with no prior notification.there was no warning of worn brake pads such as a wear sensor or indicator which causes a squealing in the brakes on most vehicles.first indication that the pads were worn was when the metal on metal sound was heard.
2008 chrysler town and country mini-van:consistently need to replace brakes and rotors every 10-12k miles, at significant cost.
The contact owns a 2008 chrysler town and country. While thecontact was driving approximately 35 mph, the brakes wereengaged, followed by a stutter. The failure occurred at any speed. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where the technician informed that the four brake rotors were warped. The contact received a manufacturer notice pertaining to the replacement of the front brake components. However, the authorized dealer would not honor the remedy repair due to the brake pads specs not meeting the manufacturer requirements. The vehicle had not been repaired at the time of the complaint. The vin was unavailable. The failure mileage was approximately 23,800.
We took our 2008 town & country in for a regular maintenance visit at the local chrysler dealership.we were told that the brakes all need to be replaced due to normal wear & tear and that with this particular model the brakes go every 12,000-20,000 miles, and that this will be a recurring problem for the life of the van.our van has less than 18,000 miles on it, and is a lease that we are thinking of turning in november.when we leased the brand new van, we felt confident that issues such as brakes going during the lease period would not be a concern (knowing that we only were able to use 31,500 total miles over the 3 yr lease.)i feel that based on the exorbitant amount of consumer complaints about this exact issue with this year & model of van that there should be a recall issued to owners of this van.there do not seem to be similar problems with the 2007 & 2009 models.it is unfair to 2008 buyers to have to 'deal' with this problem for the life of the van.clearly, the life expectancy of brakes on a brand new van should exceed 18,000 miles by at least double, if not triple or quadruple that mileage.
Have brake failure at 17,000 miles.brakes were making noise starting at about 3,000 to 4,000 mileshad brakes checked at dealership at about 9,000 miles, pads were inspected to be ok and they turned the rotors.however, they continued to make noise.took vehicle into dealership at 17,000 miles and they informed me that it was unsafe to drive.pads and rotors needed to be replaced as it was metal on metal and chrysler was not going to cover it under warranty.
Chrysler town & country minivan - year = 2008, brakes and rotors do not hold up, need replacing after only 15,000 miles, many consumers having same issue.
2008 chrysler grand caravan front brakes fail @ 25,000 miles.
The contact owns a 2008 chrysler town and country. While driving downhill at an unknown speed and depressing the brakes, the vehicle began to shake and vibrate excessively. The contact stated there were several repairs made to the brakes previously including a replacement of the front brake pads and rotors in november 2009. The rear rotors were replaced may 2010 and the front rotors were replaced again in july 2010.the contact stated the failure would cease for a limited time before recurring. The manufacturer advised that the contact would be reimbursed for the repair costs but could not provide a permanent remedy to the failure. The failure mileage was 17,002 and the current mileage was 31,000.
We have a 2008 chrysler town and country minivan. The brake pads are already shot. Reading through edmonds.com shows this is an amazingly common problem. Apparently there are 1000s upon 1000s of other owners similarly affected by these junk components. We literally have owned this vehicle for only 17 months and have to replace the brakes, on what is still a brand new car.
Unsat brakes & rotors on 2008 chrysler town & country minivan.at approximately 6,9,12 & 15k miles, while getting the manufacturers recommended oil changes, we stated the van had a high pitched squeal. On each occurrence the dealer said nothing was wrong with the brakes, but we should bring it back if it is still a problem.after the warranty expired @ 18k, now... We do have a problem and it will cost $341.87 for new rotors and pads for the front. The dealer stated the rotors were made to be thrown out at 15k miles and made so they could not be turned in an effort to save on vehicle weight. We were 'lucky' to get that much use out of them. The dealer also said the rear breaks were good. We brought it in 4 more times for squealing & were told the breaks were fine each time.however, i just spent another $97.38 on totally ruined rear brakes @ 23,445 miles. The vehicle was last into the shop @ 22,015 & 22,990 miles with no problems found. My original bill was another $400.00, but after disputing the bill we got it lowered down to only the cost of the pads & did not pay for the labor or the rotors. After less than 24k miles, the front & rear brakes pads along with rotors have been replaced. I previously owned two high top conversion vans that weighed about twice what a town and country weighs & the worst i ever got from brakes and rotors is 35k miles. Even then, it was only the front brakes and the rear lasted over 50k. Please research this @ www.edmunds.com, www.cars.com, or motor trend magazine & you will find many customers with the exact same story.we have had problems with the air conditioner, power sliding side door, extreme front tire wear & an intermittent electrical problem that makes all accessories inoperable until you shut off the van & restart. I know it is the first year after a total redesign & the company filed for bankruptcy protection, but a vehicle that costs $38k should have quality materials used in its construction. Please investigate. Thanks.

Brake rotors and pads on 2008 chrysler town & country needed to be replaced at 23,324 miles at a cost of $735.20.dealer wouldn't even consider resurfacing the rotors because they have had so many problems with them warping. Vehicle was purchased new on 11/10/07. Brakes have always squeaked but they said that was normal for this vehicle.have since learned that many owners with this year of this vehicle are having similar (or worse) longevity out of their brakes.have owned 2 previous chrysler town & country's prior to this and didn't have to replace brakes until 50,000 + miles.
The contact owns a 2008 chrysler town and country.the contact stated that while depressing the brakes, the vehicle would shake violently.a local mechanic diagnosed that the rotors were defective. The contact made repairs prior to the failure but to no avail. The contact filed a complaint with the manufacturer but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 16,948 and the current mileage was 33,249.
Brakes on 2008 chrysler town and country are too small for the vehicle weight.i have replaced all brake pads and rotors three times in 37000 miles.safety recall required.
The contact owns a 2008 chrysler town and country.while driving approximately 45 mph, the brakes began to sequel abnormally. The noise would cease once the brakes were depressed. In addition, there was a burning odor coming from the vehicle. The failure continued to recur intermittently. The dealer discovered that the rear brake pads and rotors were destroyed and would need to be replaced.the vehicle was repaired by an independent mechanic.approximately 4 months later, the failure recurred. On one occasion, the contact noticed smoke coming from the rear passenger tire. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where she was informed that there was a failure within the calipers.the vehicle was repaired.the failure mileage was 32,000 and the current mileage was 37,000.
My 2008 chrysler town & country limited suddenly made a grinding noise at 12,200 miles.there was no break squealing/notification, and without warning the brakes were metal to metal.the van needed front brake pads and rotors replaced.i called the dealership and was told that these vehicles don't go very long without needing brakes and that the pads on this van do not squeal.i asked how i was supposed to know that i would need new brakes at such low mileage if they don't squeal, and the dealer said that i would have known if i had my tires rotated every 6k miles.i had him check my history and it was less than 6k since last rotation so he told me to complain to chrysler.i did, they opened a case and told me to take the van to the dealer.the dealer inspected the van and told me that it needed front brake pads and both rotors replaced and that because of the condition of the brakes, it was not safe for me to drive and they could not let me leave in that condition.they reported this back to the case manager at chrysler.after 4 days and numerous phone calls from both the service manager and myself, chrysler agreed to do a "one-time goodwill" repair for me, and i was to asked to pay $50.
My 2008 town and country had to replace brake pads and rotors due to heavy noise and wear out at 12,750 miles. My mechanic suggested the caliper is defective and it causes the problem. But the dealer won't agree. So they replaced just the pads and rotor. Now at 28,000 miles, that is another 15000 miles, the same problem arises. The rotors and pads are fully gone and it has a huge noise when braking with no brake in effect.
Needed brake replacement on a 2008 chrysler town & country after only 14k miles - was told by the dealer this seems to be happening on all t&c between 15-18k miles, which seems like a recall is needed if that is the case.
2008 chrysler town & country.
2008 chrysler town&country with brake issues.the consumer stated within a day or two of washing the vehicle, all four wheels again became covered with black brake dust. The consumer stated the issue should be treated as a recall not as a warranty extension.
2008 chrysler town & country.took car to dealership because brake light was coming on & brakes not working properly.dealer said front brakes were down to metal on metal.$495 to replace pads and rotors.only 23,500 miles on the garage kept vehicle.not covered under warranty.rotors are badly grooved with shredded metal hanging off.dealership service department says the brakes are only lasting 20-25,000 miles on the minivans.at a minimum, the rotors should be covered under warranty, but pads and rotors should last longer than 23,500 miles.
Premature failure on front brake pads and rotors.the front brake pads had to be replaced at 18,000 miles.then the front rotors had to be replaced at 23,000 miles.chrysler would not cover any of the repairs because the front brake pads were not replaced at a chrysler dealer with chrysler pads. Chrysler customer service said they would have paid to replace the rotors and pads had the pads not been replaced with aftermarket pads.the reason they were replaced with aftermarket pads is because at 18,000 miles when the pads wore out, i took it to a chrysler dealer and they said they couldn't do anything about it and that it was normal wear.obviously it's not normal.chrysler should fix this problem by putting correct sized rotors on the vehicle.customer service is horrible.
I have a 2008 chrysler town and country van. At about 23,000 miles i have had the brakes and rotors replaced now less than one oil change the brakes are squeaky and grinding one more time and i can not pay for brakes and rotors at $500 or more each oil change it is time for a recall before there is injuries or death.
Consumer states that the rear brakes became hot, made a noise, and gave off a burning smell. *grthe dealer found the pads binding in the caliper bracket and the calipers had seized..
2008 chrysler town&country, own car for 13 months; 16,500 miles, front brake pads gone.dealership states that brakes covered only for 12 months; 12,000 miles.dealership states that this is not the first of these vehicles to report the same issue.may be related to tsb 05-006-08.
Chrysler town and county 2008 limited, brakes and rotors need to be replace at 21,000 miles.normal highway and city driving.having to replace brakes at 21,000 miles is unheard of for other manufacturers.
My 2008 t&c minivan was in for service, but no known brake problem was present. The technician noted that the brake pads were "90 % worn". They recommended that they replace the pads & rotors. The mileage on the vehicle was 24,689. My issue is that seems very premature.
Unacceptable brake wear. Front pads needed replacing at 17,000 miles.i have owned 6 chrysler mini vans starting at 1985. I have always got 35k to 50k on front pads and more on the rears. Irate and will take action if chrysler,daimler or fiat does not react.
Brakes worn down to metal in less than 16,000 miles.
The contact owns a 2008 chrysler town and country.the contact stated that the vehicle would leak antifreeze unto abnormally. In addition, the vehicle would not stop when the brakes were applied.the dealer diagnosed that the rear heater tube hose assembly and master cylinder should be replaced.the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was repaired.the failure mileage was 75,498 and the current mileage was 87,000.
I purchased a new 2008 chrysler town and country minivan. After only 25,000 miles the front and rear brakes and rotors have failed, costing thousands of dollars in repair work.
I have a 2008 chrysler town and county. I purchased this in dec 2008.at 15k in feb 2009 i had to have the front brake pads replaced.i was informed then that my rear brakes had approx 30% wear left.it is now oct 2009 and i have to replace my rear brake pads i have 26k miles on my vehicle.my last vehicle was also a town and country and i had to replace the front bakes at 20k.previously i owned a oldsmobile silhouette i turned this vehicle in with 60k and never had to replace my brakes. Chrysler needs to held accountable for this brake problem.i have seen countless blogs concerning this issue.i turn my car in march 2010, i will not be replacing this with a chrysler vehicle.
The contact owns a 2008 chrysler town and country. The contact was driving approximately 25 mph and approaching a traffic stop. When the brakes were engaged, a loud grinding noise emitted outside of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where they determinedthe front and rear brakes, as well as the rotors were defective and would need replacing. In addition, the rear brakes would need resurfacing. The vehicle was repaired and the manufacturer was made aware of the defect. The approximate failure mileage was 29,215.updated 07/08/11*ljthe rear rotors were machined. Updated 07/28/11
This car has been nothing but problems since the moment i bought it.it is so aggravating that chrysler won't own up to the issues with these cars.aside from the multiple recalls this car has had in three years, the break system is awful.i had replaced the front breaks and rotors around 28000 miles (maybe earlier i can't remember).now the back breaks are shot and once again, i will need breaks and rotors that will cost me $375 according to the dealer.my car has 38,000 miles on it. I have owned mini vans in the past and many cars and never have i had to replace both front and rear break pads/rotors this soon. My tires are so bald that all four need replacing. Again, i have never had to replace tires this soon on any of my vehicles over the years. The radio sometimes will not come on or will go black. The factory battery needed replacing at 30,000 miles which was extremely unusual as well.the side doors need to manually be closed when exiting vehicle because if i use the automatic switch, they bounce back. I have come out of stores with my doors wide open.when using the cruise control on the highway, the car with suddenly accelerate with rpms going into the red zone. Only way to stop it is to turn off cruise control. This morning on my way to work pulling out of my neighborhood i heard a grinding sound as the car began breaking on its own. Meanwhile the ebs and abs lights came on.i pulled over, shut off the car and turned it back on. Drove up the road and lights are still on. This car is junk all around.i have only had it for three years, still have a car payment. Ridiculous.i may just lease next time. That way chrysler can pay for repairs.
I have a 2008 chrysler town and country, i have several abs problems. Not only the abs warning light comes on but the slippery when wet light comes on a dry surface and i can't get past 20 mph and the brakes feel like their are not working properly even though i have new brakes. Also the esp light comes on all of the time and the dealer told it is not covered under any type of warranty.
1. Brakes/rotors on 2008 chrysler town & country need to be replaced at 12,000 miles;2. Had to replace front brakes again at 20,000 miles and rear at 27,000 which is unheard of (i have been driving a dozen different vehicles since 1983).3. Chrysler covered the first job since the vehicle had under 12,000 miles on it.i have since spent over $600 and based on this frequency, will be spending again soon.keep in mind this is a $42,000 vehicle - this should not be happening.i called chrysler (both the dealer and the main corporate office) and they informed me that they will not cover this item.
I purchased a 2008 chrysler t&c in september of 2008.the van first had a problem with front breaks at 18k miles.i had them replaced at 23k miles, then had those replaced under warranty at 34k miles.i went back to the dealer for front brakes again at 39k miles and they turned down the rotors and replaced the pads.at the same time my rear brakes needed to be done, and i had previously been told i would be taken care of due to all these issues, but a new tech tried to hit me for a full cost, so i, with some help, did the job by myself.i'm now back to needing new front brakes, at 47k miles.i'll do the job myself, but the lack of concern from the dealer has been disappointing.i've been told previously from the dealer tech that chrysler knows about the problem of undersizing the brakes, but isn't doing anything about it.some might argue due to poor sales from 2009, but i believe it would mean a large recall and cost to the company, which is now owned by the government.i've owned 2 previous chrysler mini vans, a '1999 model, and 2005 model, the best of them was the '99 for service and repairs.unless something changes for chrysler this will be the last product i own from them.i'm sure you've seen similar complaints from other chrysler minivan owners.
Faulty brake components, rotors and pads needing replacement after 12,000 miles on a new vehicle.i complained to the dealer, and notice that there seems to be a large number of people complaining online about front and rear brakes needing replacement on 2008 chrysler town & country vans under 20,000 miles.
Brakes on 2008 chrysler town and country worn at 20,000 miles. The dealer informed me this is normal wear and tear but i have had several vehicles that the brakes have lasted more than 40,000 miles. I now need new pads at 20,000 miles and possibly new rotors.
Brake issues - having to replace brake pads and rotors, we are on our third set for our 2008 chry town and country mini van. Present mileage 39884. On two occasions the brakes over heated with smoke, lots of smoke. Once in dec.2009 and the other 2010.we used snow to cool off the brakes. We were concerned that a fire would start. We had taken our vehicle back to the dealer for the brakes and we were told they were fine this prior to the smoking incident in 2009. Later in october 2009 we went to firestone to get the tires rotated they advised the brakes need to be replaced at 22,324 miles. They called the dealer and reported the brakes, the dealer advised brakes were not covered.we had the brake pads and rotors replaced a couple days later on own. Then in july 2010 the brakes over heated and smoked again. On sept 2010 the brake pads and front rotors had to be replaced.upon looking into this issue on the internet there seems to be a lot of complaints with the 2008 chry town and country having brake issues.we did get a notice from chry. But there seem to be a bigger issue.
Unusually fast wear of front brake pads and rotors on 2008 chrysler town and country. Needed new pads and rotors at 15490 miles and had to put on heavy duty ceramic pads mechanic has never seen pads and rotors wear so fast in thirty years.
2008 towncountry touring van 3.8 v6, excessive brake wear and wheel pad dust.my wife has driven the same rout to work for past 22 years 90%of miles put on highway miles ,70miles daily round trip three stop lights,6 stop signs one way. On all previous vehicles 2 isuzu rodeos and last one was ford taurus all 3 had 200.000+ miles when sold . All of them required only 2 sets of brake pads on front wheels ,one set on rear ,and did not have to resurface any rotors on any of my vehicles i do most of servicework after warranty ex as well as 2 trucks 1 1992chv 4x4 ex cab 227,000 is on its third set from factory, 1 04 ford crew cab 55,000 and brakes are half worn.(( now our problem chy van 22,000 mile brake dustthat was a thick film, like the color of the used oil, the dustwas thick after the first 5-600 miles i called the service dep and was told that is a problem with most 08 dodge, chy veh and they have not come out with any new brake pads or rotors to remedy this,but said they have made a spray that you spray on rims so dust will not accumulate as much buildup on wheels . I toldthe service manager that we did not spend 36,000 on a vehicle to wipe wheels off every 3-400 miles or buy a can of their spray for i think it was around 16-18 dollars. The service managersaid there was nothing he could do about it .and i said yes you can i will have my wife come by here every fri after noon so he could wipe the brake dust off !! he didn't think that was to funny,so each time i had the 3 oil changes done i had them wipe off wheels on there time. So here we are today 12-14 2009 22,000 miles on van with ex brake pad,rotor wear and uneven pad wear front l outside face fine, with about 3/16 pad rem, inside front pad metal to metal on lower half of rotor ,upper half has 1/8 left on pad .passfront pads have 3/16 left with both front rotors having a good 3/16 wear grove indent lip at top of rotor. Leaving not enough face to resurface . Parts only 400 no labor,no one helps!!
I had to install new brakes at 24,000after taking my vehicle to the dealer because there was supposed to be a recall and the dealer told me it had expired .i just had to replace my brake pads and install new rotors at 53,000 miles.i have my receipts and would like to be reimbursed and investigate why the dealer told me that the recall had expired. Obviously there is a problem with the brakes on my vehicle.
Needed to replace brakes & 1 rotor after the 20,000 mile mark on a 2008 chrysler town & country lx. We bought the van from the dealer with 14,000 miles on it. The vehicle was a demo so when we bought it, we were considered the "first" owners.one of our friends just replaced the brake pads for the first time on their kia after 75,000 miles.
We bought this van used in march 2010. It has been the worst vehicle we have ever purchased. Prior to this 2008 model, we had a 2005. We really liked it so we figured we'd upgrade so to speak. That was the most expensive mistake ever. Since then we have replaced the brakes and rotors twice and now it needs rear brake rotors. When i am braking at any speed the van shakes. The van feels completely unbalanced for some reason. We had an alignment done on it, new tires, a/c line broke, radio would stop working, and once while i was driving the van had this weird white smoke coming out of the vents. The steering is absolutely horrible and it either pulls to the left or right. When i brake, i have to push the brake all the way down before it finally starts to slow. I have 5 young children and i feel extremely unsafe in this van. Unfortunately not only are we wasting money on repairs, but we're wasting precious time in dealerships/mechanics that could be spent together as a family. I refuse to drive higher speeds in fear that the brakes will fail. In no way do i handle this vehicle in an aggressive manner. I follow all speed limits and do not ride the brakes. This is not i repeat not normal wear on tear for any kind of vehicle! the dealership has been no help to us. We have a bumper to bumper extended warranty and it's doing no good since it's not even covered. We will never ever purchase a chrysler vehicle again and go out of our way to discourage others from buying them as well. I find it very disgusting that chrysler is not doing anything to rectify this problem. I have very precious cargo as i'm sure many others do as well. How many people have to be injured or perish before they take action???? absolutely ridiculous!
The contact owns a 2008 chrysler town and country. The contact stated that while driving approximately 40-45 mph on numerous occasions, the brake system suddenly activated; there was no prior warning before the failure. The vehicle was taken to two authorized dealers but the failure could not be diagnosed. The contact called the manufacturer who took his complaint. The failure mileage was approximately 11,000 and the current mileage was 14,500.
The power booster failed causing a loss in braking capability.
Brake rotors warped -- 2008 chrysler town and country limited.with less than 6,000 miles on the vehicle, when applying normal pressure to the brake pedal to stop the vehicle, the peddle would pulsate and the vehicle would shimmy slightly.i surmised and it was confirmed that the rotors were out of round (warping).the dealer replaced the rear rotors and resurfaced the front rotors.with such limited mileage on the vehicle, iwould suspect therotors are inadequate for this vehicle. The dealer indicated the replacement of the rear rotors was with not only new rotors but with an upgraded part.i'm still concerned that the front rotors may be inadequate.generally, when you feel a shimmy in the break peddle and steering wheel it occurs due to an issue in the front of the vehicle.i'm going to continue to monitor the status of this situation and if it occurs again, will request replacement of the front rotors.have there been other reports of this nature with 2008 chrysler made minivans.i have the 4 liter engine with 6 speed auto transmission.
2008 chrysler town and country---brakes.front and rear brakes wear out under normal operations within 11,000 miles of operations.1st set of pad and rotors were replaced at 11,000 miles and now the van has 22,000 miles and the brake squeaks are upon us again.took it in and brakes are almost ready 15% left on rear brakes pads. Poor design and manufacture of 2008 brakes.chrysler should be made to upgrade the rotors and pads as this is a safety concern.
The engine just stalled with no warning.had no power steering or brakes. Just pulled out of a parking lot where the car was sitting for a few hours.this is the third time this has done it.
2008 town and country mini van - complete transmission rebuilt at 13,000 miles, had to replace front brakes at 20,000miles, shifter cable damaged and had to replace.
The contact owns a 2008 chrysler town and country. She stated that the rear brakes were grinding very loud while driving approximately 35 mph. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who advised her that the rear brakes needed to be replaced at her expense. No repairs were made to the vehicle. There were no recalls. The failure mileage and current mileages were under 21,500.

The consumer stated there was a burning smell coming from the vehicle.

2008 chrysler town & country. S10 appropriate handling-letter from regarding chrysler problems *tgwthe consumer was informed the vehicle needed new brake pads and rotors.the technician stated the pads had cut into the metal of both rotors.the consumer received a recall notice after having the brakes and rotors replaced by a third party.

The consumer stated the dealer didn't have the parts readily available.
I have had my van for a little over 3 years and have already had to replace the front brakes on it twice and the rear brakes once.both times the rotors and brake pads had to be replaced. I have had to replace all 4 tires as well, and that was only at a little over 40,000 miles. I have had to replace the battery, and i am now fixing the a/c & heating system for the third time.and every time i check the mail i receive another recall notice!and all the issues "could cause a fire".in addition, my rear automatic doors do not always close, i have to manually close them or they come back open. I have been paged out of a store for my back doors being open, after i watched them begin to close.i also have problems with the radio freezing.
My wife purchased a 2008 chrysler town and country in may 2008.this van was in need of new front rotors and brakes at 13000 miles ( which was out of warranty and we had to pay for) the repair was completed by the chrysler dealership wherethe van was purchased. The an now has 19000 miles and is in need of another front brake job. It is also pulsating from the rear which means that the rotors and brakes are gone on the rear as well. In 30 years of owning vehicles i have never seen brakes and rotors that will be worn out at such low mileage. I have a friend and a sister in law who are experiencing similar problems with their 2008 t&c's. Something must be done.
2008 chrysler town and country vans need brakes well before they should.my first set of brakes only lasted approximately 15000 miles and the van has needed new brakes every 3000 miles since.according to chrysler this is "normal maintenance."however many other toyota and honda mini van owners that i have spoken with have had their brakes last for 35k to 40k miles.if you research chrysler van brakes online, many people have posted in forums that their brakes also wear down at an alarming rate.chrysler acknowledges that there is a problem but as of yet has not provided a fix besides replacing the pads and rotors a ridiculous amount of times (although they are footing the bill minus a deductible up until 36,000 miles at which point it becomes the owner's problem).chrysler should be held responsible for making a product which does not perform properly and poses a safety hazard as many people have said online they did not realize they even had a problem with the brakes until they brought it in for other service and were told that the brakes were completely worn down after being replaced only a couple of thousand miles ago.my brakes pulsate violently on the highway and going downhill, but there is nothing chrysler can do about it short of replacing the rotors when the pulsation gets unbearable.in 30k miles i am currently on my 6th set of rotors and i have spent countless hours on the phone with chrysler but they will do nothing for me.chrysler has taken a lot of money from a lot of people and has not provided a safe product.they should have to fix the problem or take back the vehicles.
I have a chrysler town and country which i bought new. It has 21,000 miles and have just replaced the brake pads.i have driven many different makes of vehicles and have never had to replace brake pads at such a low mileage.i am not a driver that 'rides the brakes'. I was told at the dealership that they have had to replace most town and country brake pads at about 20,000. Obviously this is a faulty part.i suppose the rear brake pads will be next.i have seen many letters on internet forums complaining of the same problem.i think these brakes should be recalled before someone is killed.please investigate the life of these brake pads.
I had my 2008 chrysler t&c checked for squeal in front tire area, and they found that i had 5% remaining on my brake pads.now i wonder why they didn't notice this at my last tire rotation?now it is costing me over $300 to fix.i then read online that this has happened to many people and there is no recall or notice from chrysler.
Vehicles current mileage is 64,500 miles and as of today had to replace front brake pads/rotors 4 times and rear brake pads/rotors 2 times.
Chrysler town and country with 27,000 miles female daily driver...front wheel bearing failure.dealer first claimed front bearing on one side of vehicle failed which led them to replacing bearings on both sides of vehicle.dealer also first claimed brakes and rotors on one side of vehicle have failed then changed story to brakes on both sides of vehicle needing to be replaced.
On 9/16/09, with 19849 miles,i took my 2008 chrysler town and country to the dealer complaining about my van squeaking while driving and that the squeaking would stop when i applied the brakes.i was told by the dealer they could not duplicate the problem and they did nothing. I took it back in on 10/9/09 with the same issue, only this time there was a very strong odor coming from the rear passenger tire.again, i was told there was nothing wrong with the brakes and the brakes and rotors were wearing evenly and the calipers are working properly.on 1/14/10 i was driving and the noise was so loud, i drove it right to the dealer who had a mechanic ride with me.he confirmed that it was the brakes and thought it was the calipers locking up.once he looked at the brakes he told me that i needed new pads and rotors at 24000 miles!!i asked about the calipers and they did say they would grease those for me at no charge to see if it would help, but they again stated to correct the problem i would need new pads and rotors.i have never owned a vehicle that needed new rear pads and rotors on a vehicle with less than 50,000 miles!i called chrysler and put in a complaint and was just told today that there was nothing they could do, the brakes are a wear and tear item and it was out of warranty.i am waiting for a call back from a supervisor in the next day to take my complaint higher.i am very worried about the safety of driving this vehicle and am afraid the brakes will eventually go out.
I was driving along and all of a sudden i heard a squealing noise and smelled a burning smell. I quick pulled over and my rotors on the left rear tire were fire engine red. The next day a called the dealer and sure enough i need to replace the brakes and rotors on all 4 axles. The car only has 15,000 on it.i fear that this will be an ongoing issue and i have kids in the car. I need my brakes to work properly at all times.
3rd replacement of front rotors on 2008 town and country limited.last rotor replacement was sept 2010 not even a year ago.total miles on vehicle 51,000.1st replacement occurred at approximately 13,000 miles 1 year after purchase.if not caught during inspection could have led to severe accident.
The brakes on my 2008 chrysler town and country required replacement (brakes and rotors) with 22,000 miles on the vehicle. The brakes were checked in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations, but were worn to the point they were unsafe three months later. This is a common problem with the 2008 chryslers town and country's and should be fixed because there have been accidents caused by the brake failures and this is due to the poor quality and negligence of chrysler.
Stuck calipers and smoking rear wheels at approximately 2500 miles.complained to dealership which has taken several times to fix the problem. After new brakes and calipers again and bearings replaced, again this was done in november 2010 customer complained of rear noises as brakes sticking or some problem with bearings that were replaced.dealer found "no problem". 3/11/2011however the car is still making noises and concern for safety is the issue for the customer.also, the defroster do not always work and customer has to scrape the inside of the window to see out.dealer could not re-create.also when it rains or slush the underneath of the car bangs as if something is loose.customer asked dealership to check also on 3/11/2011 and still the same answer "could not re-create" and found nothing.customer asked to check brakes, bearings, converter and differential on 3/11/2011 for the 4th time and again nothing was found.car has had numerous problems from day one including the gear shift coming off in hand. Hot wheel syndrome in 2009 fixed but is back. Customer going on trip and wants this documented.
After only 3000 miles i took it to the dealership (jan09) because i noticed that the front left rotor had abnormal grooves on it- i know a smooth rotor, and that one was not!right front rotor was smooth.dealership returned vehicle saying all conditions normal- they didn't tell me about this huge problem- i had to find out about it myself!later, at 16,000 miles brakes squeaked under all braking conditions.later, at 21,000 miles of normal city & highway driving & not harsh braking, i read about these multiple complaints and went to my local service station- yup, replace front pads & rotors for $350.rotors were 1.075 and 1.079 (min spec 1.040); pads were 90% worn.i then called chrysler customer service rep and senior resolution team- no luck.i went to a different dealership- no luck.luckily for me based on my own intuition and research, i found out about the problem before my wife & kids were harmed by unsafe brakes.21k miles for new brakes- you've got to be kidding me!i currently hold the failed parts.pls help me & others.
At 16,000 had to replace front brake pads dealer said possibly rotors as well 2008 chrysler t&c touring van.rotors did not need changed but 16,000 miles are ridiculous for a brake pad change.dealer said this is normal and had seen pad changes as early as 12,000 miles...you've got to be kidding!
The contact owns a 2008 chrysler town and country.the vehicle shakes and the brake pedal pulsates when he applies the brake while driving at any speed.the consumer also experiences an increased stopping distance.he has had the brakes replaced four times at either an authorized dealer or independent repair shop. The contact declined to provide any further details. The failure mileage was 24,500 and the current mileage was 59,700.updated 02/09/11
I have already filed a complaint with reference to the recurring brake problem on this vehicle (complaint #10300223). This week the brakes are again making noises and vibrating specially in the highway. This will be the third timewe experience it, they already repaired, replaced and rebuilt the front and rear brakes twice. I am concern about the safety of my family. At this point, i want to recur to the california lemon law but chrysler is not helping me. I beg youhelp me with this issue please. I do all the required maintenance at the chrysler dealership. We also experience a steering fluid hose failure, "not under warranty" at the same time, cost $250. Also we needed to replace the rubber cover for the parking brake so your foot don't slip, they said they don't sale that part, we had to buy the whole parking brake lever, another $200. This is an abuse to the consumer.[xxx]
The contact owns a 2008 chrysler town and country. The contact stated that while driving approximately 25 to 30 mph another driver warned him that there was smoke coming from underneath the vehicle. The vehicle was then taken to a dealer whoadvised him that he needed to replace the front brakes and rotors. The vehicle was repaired. The failure recurred within eight months. The vehicle was taken to the dealer again and the failure was not diagnosed since corporate had to approve the diagnostic test. The failure mileage was approximately 100. The vin was unavailable.
Brake replacement - 2008 chrysler town & country at 20,789 miles.
2008 chrysler town and country needs new brakes and rotors at 24k miles.was told it was normal wear and tear, but after researching online, i have found this is a major problem with this year's model.people are being told brakes are getting an average of 12k miles - outrageous.
The contact owns a 2008 chrysler town and country. While driving at any speed the contact would applied pressure to the brake pedal and heard a grinding noise. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the front rotors and brake pads were replaced. The failure continued and was taken back to the dealer where the front and back rotors and brake pads were replaced; however, the grinding noise continued to occur. A technician advised that the front and back rotors and brake pads would need to be replaced. The contact stated they have owned the vehicle for approximately two years and have had these repairs made three times. The manufacturer was not contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 64,000.
1. Took my 2008 chrysler town & country in to service squeaky brakes. The mechanic showed me that the pads were between 95 and 100% gone. The rotors were grooved beyond repair. He said they were having a lot of trouble with t&c's having faulty calipers, which in turn caused the brakes to wear out prematurely. 2. Mechanic's write-up said "verified customer complaint and found the rear brake calipers to be seized and not working properly. Replaced calipers and everything is ok."the warranty only covers the calipers.my van has 30,000 miles when this came to our attention, and the brakes are worn well beyond a safe amount. The mechanic has seen multiple identical problems. 3. Calipers were replaced under warranty, new rotors and pads installed at a cost to the owner of $500.
Front and rear brake pads and rotors on 2008 chrysler town and country vehicles are inferior and wear out prematurely; and in some cases the pad material separates from the steel backing plate. Rotors are also inferior and warp. All of this occurs usually in under 15,000 miles.chrysler is aware of this problem, and knows that it extends into may other vehicle lines.new rotors and pads have been installed to correct this issue on my vehicle which now stops properly.the brakes on this vehicle can become ineffective due to loss of friction material, or heating caused by inferior rotor materials.
Front brakes (pad and rotors) completely worn out by 20,000 miles.rear brake rotors in need of turning.
Brakes wear at low mileage.must be replaced at high cost.
2008 t&c touring with 16,000 miles on it.front brakes shot due to caliper failure.dealer fixed under warranty.dealer replaced calipers, rotors, pads and any other damaged component.noticed a noise from back brakes a week later.took back to dealer and they turned the back rotors.hope they last more than 16,000 miles this time.
Early brake wear - i bought a 2008 chrysler t&c in december 2010 with approximately 26,500 miles. The service history indicates that it had the brakes replaced when it was only a year old and had 11,996 miles. We have since had to replace the front pads at 27,000 miles and at 28,500 we are now having to replace the rear brake pads which are wearing unevenly and all four rotors.
We took our van into the dealership for our routine oil change.they did a 27 point inspection and said everything looked great. Yesterday the brakes started grinding so we took it in this morning... The rotors and brakes all have to replaced.this is an occurring problem with this van.the tie between the oil change and the brakes was less than the time we needed to go back for another oil change.the van is a chrysler town and country.our van has 37,000 miles on it.there is no reason that brakes should go out this early in a car!
Brakes failing after only 13,000 miles on new car.
I own 2008 chrysler town & country van and last week when i took my van for regular oil change to the dealer(gurnee dodge), the technician told me that i have to replace my frontbrake pads androtors as they are worn out at only 15,000 miles. I have never had to replace brake pads and rotors at such a low mileage on any vehicle i have owned. I have been driving for 20 years, have owned many vehicles and am not driving any differently than i have driven in the past. The dealer did not give me the vehicle as he said it is a safety issue and i was forced or tricked into changing my pads for $300.00 (parts and labor) and they said they could resurface the rotor instead of replacing it after seeing my frustration.later i came to know that there a tsb issued on 2008 chrysler and dodge vehicles tsb# 05-006-08 issued dec.8th. 2008 regarding the brake pads and rotors and i called the dealer and told him about this, he says he has never heard about this and not ready to honor this tsb.
I took my 2008 town and country to chrysler to get inspection at my dealer and come to find out the front brakes just past inspection. They were completly worn out at 27,000 miles and needs replacing. The service said it was normal. I told them the are all interatate miles and 2 trips from va to ark. I could see if i lived where there was stop and go traffic but i do not. I called chrysler and filed a complaint and they said they would contact my dealer and see if they could help me out financially to fix this problem. I have searched the internet and found out that people have even got less miles on theres. Some as low as 11,000 miles. I believe they have a major braking problem with the 2008 model and it really needs some attention from you all to make them fix this problem. I am sure i am not the first to complain.
At 22,998 i had to replace the front brakes because they were metal to metal. Rear brake calipers were rusted shut and weren't working either. Had new pads and rotors replaced front and back. Since having them replaced (2000 miles ago) the new front brakes are warped!
During the past three months all of a sudden the horn starts blowing erratically, the windshield washers and wipers activate, lights start flashing, the doors lock automatically and the transmission will not shift into high.this has happened five or six times since aug., having occurred four times in the past three weeks.it happens while the car is running and while it is not.with each incident the symptoms become worse and the duration is longer.last week, i had to pull off the road and wait five or ten minutes for it to stop as i could not see where i was going.yesterday, it occurred while sitting in the garage and i had to disconnect the battery to stop it.the chrysler dealer says it is the total integrated power module that needs to be replaced @$524.12.additionally now at 54,000 miles the front rotors are warped and need to be replaced @ $409.they had to be replaced @ 25,834 and 35,272.when the brakes are applied the front end and steering vibrate uncontrollably.both conditions are safety issues, have been well document by hundreds of people, and are obvious inherent defects in the vehicle, and should be issues that result in a recall of these vehicles and repairs or replacements made at chrysler's expense, yet they continue to deny there is an inherent problem.both issues could result in a serious accident.
Premature brake wear/failure on 2008 chrysler town and country.
2008 town and country van. Rear brakes pads and rotors replaced at 12,000 miles. Left rear caliper froze shortly after, smoking and very hot. Fire hazard. Front brake pads replaced at 14,000 miles. Brakes have major issues, undersized for this vehicle? reports online indicate they need replacing as soon as every 10,000 miles. No longer think that my wife was the problem. Can someone force chrysler into recalling this vehicle and replacing with larger braking system? must an entire family with kids perish? now wheel bearings are noisy - many online reports - related to brakes?
Brakes and rotors had to be replaced at 18k miles. The garage who replaced it showed it to my husband and told him they were cheap parts. Two tires had to be replaced as well at the same mileage. Tires put on by chrysler are yokohama tires and are junk! i can also feel a movement under my drivers side car mat in the floor when i stop at a stop sign and make a left turn, something moves underneath as i am turning the steering wheel, i need to contact dealer for this to see what the problem is.
I recently had to replace the front brakes on my 2008 chrysler town and country....the vehicle only has 24748 miles on it and is 18 months old, at a cost of several hundred dollars.after researching blogs, etc., i have discovered that many other owners have experienced the same problem and i believe it's a serious issue that requires chrysler to cover the costs we (the consumers) have incurred because of this defect.there was another vehicle, a 2008 dodge caravan, in the shop at the exact same time as my vehicle.it had approximately the same amount of miles on it and was being serviced for the exact same problem.that should be enough to raise a red flag, but i know we are not the only consumers with this problem.
A 2008 chrysler t&c touring (top of the line) has had premature brake wear. After 17,000 miles the brakes are down to less then 5 % of useful life, according to many internet posts this has been a recurring problem for many owners. The current repair is estimated to be around $400 us.the fear is that this failure will re-occur since the brakes seem to be undersized fro the vehicle weight and size.the chrysler dealer is unwilling to fix this under warranty.
I have a 2008 chrysler town & country that i purchased new with currently 13,000 miles on it.within a year we began experiencing loud squealing noises while driving from the rear of the car.in 2010 the dealer had to replace the front and rear brakes pads and rotors.the loud squealing noise from the rear never really was resolved.most recently we have noticed a burning odor and smell from the rear tire area and the rear wheel rims are very hot to the touch when we stop the car to inspect.we have researched this on-line and notice that there are hundreds, if not thousands, of similar complaints.i contacted the service manager at my dealer in chicago and they informed me that they have seen and are experiencing this issue frequently with brake type issues for chrysler town & country 2008 models and the standard remedy is to change the brake pads and rotors.many people have reported doing this several times with very low mileage.this does not resolve the issue.there is obviously a problem here, the root cause has not been addressed, and chrysler needs to take ownership and responsibility for this issue.i and others should not have to continuously pay or invest time to address these problems especially at very low mileage.
Told by dealer we need new front pads and rotors after 24,000 miles.
July 2009 i took the car in for an oil change and check up before leaving town for vacation. Brakes were squeaking so i asked to have those checked as well. I didn't expect anything much to come of the brakes since the car only had about 12,000 miles on it at the time. They said i had to have the brakes done which i did. Brakes started squeaking the next day while on the trip and the car would shake when braking (not subtly but enough to spill drinks and to feel like we were riding a bucking bronco). Called the dealership who said it was safe to drive until we returned to town and could take it back to the dealership. I took the car back in immediately when we returned and had the problem repaired. That lasted a few days and the brakes started to squeak and then grind. Car has been in again and still no relief from the problem. This is the 4th chrysler town and country i have had and the first time i have had any problems. I am going back to the dealership again which will make it at least 5 times in as many months. I am concerned that the vehicle is unsafe to drive.
Problem : heard squealing noise at 13,000 miles. Undiagnosed at the dealer. Raised issue again at dealer at 16,500km miles. Diagnosis was completely worn (and inadequate) rear brakes. Dealer tech agreed this is a flaw and safety issue, and quite common among newly designed 2008 town & country and should be a recall event. Remedy : parts replaced at owners expense. Complaint : inadequate brakes for a vehicle this size and weight, premature failure at 11-15k miles without warning is unacceptable and dangerous.
Rear brake failure at low miles, excessive wearing, noise, etc.
Faulty brake pads on 2008 chyrsler town & country.
My 2008 t&c was purchased in may of '08 and has 14k miles on it. With no prior warning, the brakes were metal on metal when we come upon traffic at 70 mph. We were able to avoid a collision (thankfully) using the lower transmission gears. Now, the dealership has informed me that it is my responsibility because the warranty is only for 1 year/12k miles, even though it was their oversight for not informing me that the pads were low at my 12k service. Now, i need new pads and the rotors re-surfaced. I find it amazing that a vehicle that costs over $45k has such poor quality materials that could endanger lives. How is this possible.
Chrysler town and country 2008 is on its second replacement of brakes at 30,000 miles.the brakes have prematurely worn out with no apparent reason.van is inspected routinely every oil change at around 3000 miles and brakes are checked.however, this failure appears to be more than routine wear and tear and occurs suddenly. *cw
The contact owns a 2008 chrysler town and country. The contact stated that while driving approximately 55 mph he applied the brakes and the vehicle experienced an increased stopping distance. The contact also heard a grinding noise during the failure. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where the contact was informed that all of the brakes were completely worn down and needed to be replaced. The brakes were replaced. Approximately one year later the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where they offered no assistance. The vehicle was then taken to an independent repair shop where the brakes were again replaced. The failure mileage was 17,000 and the current mileage was 34,000.
I own a 2008 chrysler town & country mini vanand yesterday when i was driving on the highway, i heard a weird sound from the outside and could smell something burning. I pulled over and checked around to see smoke coming out from my left rear wheel. I put some water on it and had to tow it to the dealer as i did not want to take any chance.the dealer (gurnee dodge) told me that i have to replace my rear brake pads and the rotors as they are worn out and at only 21,000 miles.i have never had to replace brake pads and rotors at such a low mileage on any vehicle i have owned. I have been driving for 20 years, have owned many vehicles and am not driving any differently than i have driven in the past. The dealer did not give me the vehicle as he said it is a safety issue and i was forced into changing my pads for $300.00.please note, i had already replaced my front brake pads and the rotors as they are worn out at only 15,961 miles in apr-2010. But fortunately, there was a recall on the front brake and rotors , so i got this reimbursed.i filed a complaint with chrysler and was told "too bad" and no recalls on rear brakes and rotors and they would only cover until 12,000 miles.i browsed and saw many having this same problem with brake pads and rotors. I think chrysler has some inferior quality on these parts on these vehicles. Thisis very dangerous as the vehicle could catch fire and should be subjected to recall.
Leasing a 2008 chrysler town and country minivan. With 17800 miles heard a noise from rear of vehicle. Took to chryslerdealer and said rear brakes were down to metal. Had to have both rotors and pads replaced. They warrantied the rotors but paid for labor and pads. They also recommended that i replace front at my own cost about $400. I didn't have the fronts replaced. I have driven new and used cars and never have had to replace brakes at that low mileage. Most of the time it would be the front brakes first then the rear. The service manager said that they have had alot of problems with this model. Some customers have had to replace brakes at 10,000 miles. This something that nhtsa should look into.
Howling noises from rear wheels when moving.touching brake pedal stops noise.right and left calipers, rotors, and pads replaced with new.at 50,469 miles on 2/27/12, grinding noise recurred.front wheel bearings replaced under extended warranty.at 50,484 miles on 2/28/12, noise from rear wheel recurred; left rear rotor warped, pads stuck.replaced left rotor, freed up pads.noise not cured.at 50560 on 3/7/12, noise verified by chrysler mechanic, replaced right rear rotor and rear brake pads.total cost to owner to date for these repairs:$413.73 and many visits to dealer.far too much wear and tear for vehicle used only for personal transportation.took delivery october 1, 2008.averaged 1,231 per month since purchase.all repairs completed at chrysler dealer.
This complaint involves a 2008 chrysler town and country mini van.the vehicle was returned to the dealer to inspect brake system.mileage was 27, 904.i was informed that the front disc pads and rotors needed replacement and the rear brakes were in good shape.this concerned me since i have never had to replace this early on a new vehicle.my previous vehicle was a 2001 town and country, which was traded for the 2008.the 2001 had over 95,000 miles and i was told after inspection of the brakes that there was approximately 25% of the pads left.i also own a 1995 dodge ram pickup and had the pads replaced at 75,000 miles and still had pads left.i had the pads replaced on the 2008.less than 1,000 miles later i had to replace the rear pads and rotors after being told they were ok.something is wrong with this scenerio.this condition could have lead to a serious accident since the dealership gave me sense of assurance that the brake system was in good condition and i should have been able to gotten more mileage on the rear pads than a 1,000 miles.i feel that there may be a design flaw in the brake system since my driving habits have not changed in the last 50 years.
We lease a 2008 chrysler town and country.at around 15,000 miles the front brake pads needed replaced and i was told that "i must be a heavy braker."at 22,000 miles we had our brake pads replaced and rotors resurfaced to the tune of $334.63.less than one month later, we were getting the now familiar grinding sound upon braking so i took it back to our mechanic who said that he should have just replaced the rotors in the first place so he replaced the brake pads and rotors and only charged us for the rotors and ate the cost of the pads and labor.a week and a half later i had to return the car to the mechanic for a horrible squealing whenever i braked.he fixed it and charged me nothing.now 4 months and 5,000 miles later, my brakes are again grinding horribly like they were in may (22,000 mi) and the brakes and possibly rotors need replaced again.i have owned dodge caravans, a 2005 town and country and now this one and have never had brake problems like this so i don't think that my braking habits are to blame.also, after one year, the ignition switch started to "stick" in the wrong position upon starting the car and would leave me with no electronic power in the car.no lights, radio, locks, dash display, etc. Which is very dangerous because if i try to correct it while driving and the car turns off, i am moving with no power steering or brakes.
We are having issues with mopar products. We replaced brakes at 31,843 miles at chrysler world in abrahms, wi. Chrysler helped out with that they saw a defect in their van products and paid part of the cost.at 53,861 miles chrysler world told us we are due for new brakes in the front and need rear brakes also!they said it was ok to drive to az but that the brakes needed attention by spring. That's 22,018 miles after the replacement! something is wrong and it is not our driving! in the summer we live in rural wi and we travel to surprise, az in the winter. The wi to az trip is 2,100 miles, mostly interstate. Since our purchase more than 20,000 of our miles have been on interstate highways. About 95% of our miles are rural and interstate miles!the next problem occurred on our way to az in october. Some type of spring broke in the steering column. This was repaired at tom obrien chrysler jeep in greenwood, in. This was replaced by another mopar product. How long will that last? they said i needed new brakes also but it would be ok to continue to az! i filed a complaint with chrysler corp. On 11-16-2011 a chrysler representative phoned and stated they will do nothing as the car is out of warranty. He gave me this case# [xxx] for reference to his phone call and their decision.my brakes are grinding at times when i stop and i feel chrysler must have a bigger problem with this van than they are telling or willing to make right. I am afraid to take it in to a chrysler dealer because of the faulty brake linings they installed at 31,843 miles.we are in surprise, az now and have in the past used moore chrysler jeep in peoria for servicing. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
I had to have the brakes and rotors changed on my t & c at 28,000 miles. Within 24 hours of the initial brake noise, the brakes were making a grinding noise. When the mechanic looked the brake pads disintegrated in his hand. The rotors had a groove in them so they had to be replaced. I have now been told that brakes and rotors on this model will need to be changes every 15 to 20k miles. Obviously this not an acceptable length on time for the pads must less the rotors to last.
Had to replace my brake pads and rotors on my 2008 town & country at only 18000 miles. That is unacceptable!!!!!
2008 chrysler town and country brakes system.just passed 25000 and required all four brakes and pads to be replaced.we were told that we were really lucky to have even made it that far on the initial set.this vehicle was bought brand new and when we took it in for burning smell and squeaks on the brakes this issue was discovered and was not covered under warranty.pleading with chrysler corp and the dealership resulted in nothing other than an acknowledgement that this is a known issue and had we not driven so gently they should have failed 10k miles earlier.my only hope is to file a complaint and have these brake pads recalled as improper for the vehicle.the real issue is that the replacement pads will last upwards of 40k miles.
2008 chrysler town and country. Consumer expresses comments regarding brakes problems *tgw
Regarding the 2008 chrysler town & country van and the sub standard rotors the vehicle comes with. The car is only 1 1/2 years old and the rotors have to be replaced. Three months ago the dealer turnedand resurfaced the rotors and replaced the pads ($270), the cost would have been more but they priced the quote incorrectly and then honored it. This week i took the car back to the dealer because of vibration and they are advising the rotors must be replaced costing more than $700 to repair. I have read multiple complaints from other owners with the same issue with this vehicle. I have been driving for more than 20 years and have never had an issue like this with any of my other vehicles and find the rotors installed in the 2008 chrysler town & country unacceptable. These cars are expensive and they parts used to make it should be of quality. The dealerships should extend the warranty on the brake rotors or recall them and put acceptable ones on them.
2008 chrysler town & country front brakes have worn out at 21,00 miles.we have purchased or leased 13 new cars in the past 15 years.brakes have never worn out this quickly before.chrysler will not fix this problem.
Our 2008 chrysler town & country minivan needed all new brakes and rotors and has been driven under a year and half (with normal wear and tear - not excessive). Evidently this is a known issue as i've found in talking with another t&c owner that bought the same minivan at about the same time we did (fall 2009). He bought the extended warranty for $2000 and was alerted to this defect by the dealer (tsb because of his extended warranty) and the repair was made for free and now he knows to check the brakes every 12-20 thousand miles. Unfortunately without purchasing the $2000 extended warranty other consumers will not be aware of the short lived brakes and rotors and may not bother going into the dealer to get their brakes replaced every 20,000 miles (who would think that you would need to replace your brakes and rotors this frequently!). From the research i've done thus far, i should expect to continue to have this problem for the lifetime of the vehicle with no recourse other than to sell the vehicle to another unsuspecting consumer or to continue to pay >$500/ 1-2 years to replace the brakes in this vehicle. I would greatly appreciate a recall on this known defect or at the very least a notification to t&c owners to this issue for their own personal safety (and that of their family and everyone else out on the road). Generally i've only replaced my brakes after 50k miles on other vehicles and never would have suspected there was an issue with so few miles on the car. Please notify other consumers of this product before this results in serious injury (i'm sure there has already been huge monetary losses from the consumers of this vehicle).
Chrysler town and country - worn rotors and bad brakes - just like everyone else.cost me $350 to fix - only 19k miles on vehicle.grinding noise started about five days ago.one completely trashed rotor, one severely grooved, had back brakes 'cleaned' - shouldn't have to replace brakes on a 1.5 year old vehicle with so few miles on it.tahoe doesn't need them at 50k!
At just over 16k miles i had to get the front brake pads and disc brakes replaced as they had worn down to metal on metal.the screeching noise had started about 3 months before this - assumed it was dirt from a new england winter.never would have thought it was the brakes wearing down to nothing at around 12 - 13k miles.this is unheard of for brake life.the line i was given by the dealer, was that is normal based on how mom's drive the cars around town all the time.'!@#$% if you ask me.did the same driving with my maxima and never had this problem.told my dealer to keep the car, i did not want it anymore.that got them to deal with me a bit, but i still ended up paying over a hundred dollars.now, 4 months and ~ 3,500 miles later, the rear brakes are squeaking.i am sure those will need to be replaced.at only 20k miles, this seems ungodly.can't wait to see the bill chrysler is going to hit me with for this one.they clearly know there is a problem and are just not willing to deal with it.am simply waiting for the front ones to wear out again.have never had such a problem on a car before.luckily the horrible squeaking and massive amounts of brake dust alert one to a problem prior to the brakes failing totally causing a major and potentially fatal accident.please, please, please get chrysler to issue a recall and fix the brake problems on the 2008 t&c before it becomes fatal.
First set of brakes at 21,000 miles 2nd set at 32,0002nd set of rotors at same time as 2nd set of pads. Since then i'm on the6th set of pads and third set of rotors at 62,000 miles.when is chrysler going to take responsibility and retrofit all of these vans with upgraded brakes?
7/31/09 - 21,897 vehicle miles - brakes began squeaking - dealer rep. Recommended we wash any brake dust out of the wheels to see if that resolved the problem.8/5/09 - brought the vehicle back to the dealer as this did not resolve the problem.it was squeaking and making a crunching sound when braking, like metal to metal. Believe it was unsafe to drive - had the vehicle towed to the dealer. Vehicle had 22,009 miles.we were told the front brake pads were at 26.97 and minimum specs are 26.4.the dealer replaced the front brake pads and front rotors were turned.we were told the rotors did not need replacing at that time.8/25/09 -we were still experiencing a pulsation when braking. Took the vehicle to our personal mechanic.they replaced and resurfaced the front rotors that were warped.the brakes felt better but we still noticed an unusual shuddering and heard a deep creaking sound at the tail end while braking.our personal mechanic advised the rear pads needed replacing and the rear rotors had 45% wear.fearing we would have to replace the rear rotors in the near future, we opted to save labor charges later and have both the rear pads and rotors replaced.the brakes are performing wonderfully now and are very smooth.we feel they are safe.we are concerned though that we will have to replace pads and rotors every 20,000 miles and believe this is unsafe and unreasonable.we have owned many chrysler & dodge vehicles in the past and specifically bought this based on our past positive experiences with these vehicles.i am the principal driver of the vehicle and have never had this problem with any vehicles i have owned in the past.my driving conditions and style have not changed either.
Front brakes and rotors needed to be replaced at 16,000; now rear brakes and rotors need to be replaced at 25,000; chrysler has subsequently covered the front brakes under warranty but will not cover rear brakes even though same issue is occurring.
Brakes- like everyone else- my front brakes failed at 20,000 miles- i complained to chrysler but they had no interest in dealing with the problem.$650 to fix- when repairing the front, the mechanic discovered that the back were worn by 95%.i drive to and from work (highway) and to sporting events for the kids on weekends- no excessive driving or starting and stopping.
Brakes on the 2008 model town and country limited are very poor. I have had them replaced twice now. Once at 8000 and now at26000 miles. We were on our way for a family outing 5 of us in the van. Driving to great america. When all of a sudden the rear brakes started squealing again. Then to make matters worse the highway was having construction done so the right lane was closed as we passed an area. So i pulled over to the far right side. Well after we passed that area of highway the workers deemed that the right lane had nobody pulled over so they switched the signs to make the left lane closed. Thus sending all of the traffic cars trucks what ever directly into my path as i lay under my van looking to see what had happened.luckily other people had noticed and directed themaround me.so no one got hurt this time. Butanother very costly replacement..i believe a recall is in order there has been 227 brake complaints when filed 8-4-11.
2008 town & country chrysler mini-van needed complete front brake replacement including rotors.shop repairing brakes said they had seen this on several other vans of the same year and with similar low mileage.i owned a toyota highlander for over 3 years and never needed to do any brake work.why would the brakes need to be completely replaced in little over a year of use and with less than 24k miles?
I have a 2008 chrysler town & country van with just 22,000 miles on it and have been told i need new brakes and rotors. I have never had to replace brake pads at this low of mileage. I have heard from others that this is a problem with these vans due to the rotors and brake pads being to small. I feel that chrysler should be made to recall these vehicles and put adequate brakes on them.
The car will shut down will driving, locking the steering and braking system at random times. The cars wipers/wiper spray/horn all start going off at random. The car won't start leaving me stranded. It is almost as if the battery is dead, this is the 2nd replacement batter in 4 months. The battery has been tested, it is fine. The dealer cannot fix the car, they replaced the horn after the car went crazy and blew it out costing me $350.00.. I still pay a hefty car payment on this lemon and no one can fix it.i am of course more worried about the safety issue, i transport children/grandparents. Do i want them to be a statistic because chrysler won't stand behind their automobile. I have tried unsuccessfully to reach them and all i get is a generic form letter. I drive through the mountains and have had to replace (not turn) the rotors every time i go. This is not normal.
After taking my family on a 3,000 + mile trip to florida and back to michigan through the mountains, i took my 2008 chrysler town and country mini-van into meade dodge in grosse pointe, mi in for an oil change, tire rotation and warranty work to address issues that arose with the air conditioning and automatic sliding door during the trip.during the 23 point inspection that the dealership performs with the oil change, the service rep contacted me about a known frequent issue with pre-mature wear of the rotors and breaking pads on the town and country mini-vans.the service representative mentioned it being a known problem that they see frequently on these vehicles and that chrysler authorized the work being completed with a $100 consumer co-pay to have the work completed.my concern is that the public or owners of the vans were not notified.i took a long trip with my family in the vehicle that contained parts with a known defect that could have resulted in an accident if the breaking system failed.my van currently has approximately 21,000 miles on it.i want to make your department aware that this may be an issue affecting all new town and country vans sold.in discussing this incident with a co-worker, he mentioned a similar issue with his 1998 town and country van.
My brake pads and rotors had to be replaced on my 2008 chrysler town and country van when i had barely 19000 miles on the vehicle.brakes were tested as fine during a safety inspection in january, and suddenly 3 months later they had worn down to metal to metal contact which then also ruined the rotors.no accident resulted from this, however, i see through research on the internet that this seems to be a trend for this make/model of car.
2008 chrysler town and country.18 months, 22k miles.front rotors and pads need replacement.typically i get 40-60k before my first brake service on any vehicle i have owned /leased.i have found many similar complaints here and in internet forums.there are rumors of a tsb but i cannot find a record here.please investigate.
Brakes and rotors needing to be replaced at 15,000 miles.
I have a 2008 chrysler town and country van..i have 64,602 miles on it..my van started squealing at the stop signs and now it makes all kinds of noise with i put my vehicle in gear..my brakes and rotors are out in my van..i talked to the dealership and it will cost close to 500 to fix..and they also stated this is an ongoing issue with those vans and chrysler is aware of this problem and does nothing to fix the issue..i am driving an unsafe van with 3 kids in my vehicle...
2008 chrysler town and country brakes.i called about brakes before factory warranty, i was told warranty did not cover brakes.had front rotors and brakes repaired.two weeks later back brakes and rotors replaced.two weeks later, brakes started squealing again.
The contact owns a 2008 chrysler town & country. The contact was driving 45 mph when burning fumes were emitted into the vehicle. The contact stated that after inspecting the vehicle it appeared that the burning smell was coming from the wheels. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who diagnosed that the rear driver side caliper froze and burned the brakes and rotors. As a result, the brakes, rotors and calipers needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure who did not offer any assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and the current mileage was 30,274.
Very bad design flaw with brake design causing myself and other customers to purchase multiple brakes and rotors for this badly engineered vehicle. This problem is also going to cause a loss of trade in value for us.
Extreme brake wear and fade; complete falure and diagnostic failure codes at 35,588 miles.chrysler t&c brake concern: (brake system blog response 02/06/2010) tayershaving been in the industry as well as being a fse (field service engineer) for the big 3, i am really upset!!believe it or not i returned from a 2005 bullet proof t&c only to buy a new 2008 loaded.expecting the same, if not improved experience, the brake design and metering is totally unacceptable.having changed the front brake pads at 23,000 miles only as a pm preventive maintenance move, at 35,388 the whole front system will now have to be replaced.the industry did go through major brake redesigns when asbestos was removed back in 1995 causing the entire industry to re-think and re-design brake systems. Dvp (design verification & prove out) is required, someone blew it and should be fired! having owned and serviced over two hundred and fifty cars, i have never seen such a deplorable release to the general public.it's really a shame but daimler chrysler should step up to this issue or take the t&c out of production all together.just reading all these blogs will convince nhtsa eventually that they need to react.while you and i may find the t&c a great vehicle in the market segment, the brake system is not, nor should not have been released!whoever designed this system and says they tested and proved it out had to be smoking !@#$% this van had the ability to stand above any foreign competition and to have this put a black mark on what should be a best seller is a crime.
I have owned a 2008 chrysler town & country minivan since new and it currently has 27,200 miles on it.almost all (approx. 20000) are highway / coast to coast miles.the front brakes and rotors are bad and need replacing.i have two other vehicles with over 60,000 miles on them and the brakes are still okay.2008 chrysler town & country factory brakes are defective in my opinion and many believe are too small for the vehicle.this should be investigated.
The contact owns a 2008 chrysler town & country. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for routine maintenance and it was discovered that rocks had gotten in between the brake pads and rotors. As a result, the brake pads disintegrated and made deep grooves in the rotors.the manufacturer was contacted and informed of the failure. The contact was awaiting to hear back from the manufacturer. The vin was not available at the time of the complaint and the failure mileage was unknown. The approximate current mileage was 23,423.
I purchased my 2008 t & c 4 months ago and it has 14,000 and it now has only 17,000 miles.i took it to the dealer today because it was making noises that sounded like there was something wrong with the brakes and also for the dvd player, and the outlet that wasn't working the back.they told me the brake pads and rotors would have to be replaced.i would have to fork out $400. This is obviously an ongoing problem that chrysler needs to own up to and fix.they already got me for the cost of the van and now it seems every 5-10,000 they will be getting me for $400 because i am going to have to replace the brakes and rotors.
The front brakes on my 2008 chrysler town and country needs to be replaced....the vehicle only has 26000 miles on it, at a cost of several hundred dollars. After researching blogs, etc., i have discovered that many other owners have experienced the same problem (including the dodge caravans) and i believe it's a serious issue that requires chrysler to cover the costs we (the consumers) have incurred because of this defect. That should be enough to raise a red flag, but i know we are not the only consumers with this problem. Chrysler/dodge has even acknowledged the issue with tsb #05-006-08 issued 12-08-2009. But it is not cover by the warranty.
I have a 2008 chrysler town and country minivan with 44,000 miles, mostly used for city driving. We have had to replace the front brakes 3 times now and the rear once. The rotors have to be replaced all the way around this time, which is excessive for a vehicle with this many miles.
We have had nothing but problems since we bought this vehicle in september 2007. First, the doors reopen by themselves - that took 8 trips to the service department before it was finally fixed in may 2008. Another issue that has not been resolved is that the starter sticks when you start the vehicle. This is an occasional problem and difficult for the service department to duplicate. Yesterday, june 8, the van completely lost power while i was driving. I lost all power steering, brakes, lights - everything! i have taken it to the dealer and they can't figure it out and daimlerchrysler has not been any help. In fact, when i called to inquire about a repurchase of the vehicle - i asked 4 times to speak to a supervisor and then the agent hung up on me when i insisted that i speak with a supervisor! i'm extremely worried about the safety of this vehicle. I will not allow my children to ride in this vehicle again.

We are having issues with mopar products. We replaced brakes at 31,843 miles at chrysler world in abrahms, wi. Chrysler helped out with that they saw a defect in their van products and paid part of the cost.at 53,861 miles chrysler world told us we are due for new brakes in the front and need rear brakes also!they said it was ok to drive to az but that the brakes needed attention by spring. That's 22,018 miles after the replacement! something is wrong and it is not our driving! in the summer we live in rural wi and we travel to surprise, az in the winter. The wi to az trip is 2,100 miles, mostly interstate. Since our purchase more than 20,000 of our miles have been on interstate highways. About 95% of our miles are rural and interstate miles!the next problem occurred on our way to az in october. Some type of spring broke in the steering column. This was repaired at tom obrien chrysler jeep in greenwood, in. This was replaced by another mopar product. How long will that last? they said i needed new brakes also but it would be ok to continue to az! i filed a complaint with chrysler corp. On 11-16-2011 a chrysler representative phoned and stated they will do nothing as the car is out of warranty. He gave me this case# [xxx] for reference to his phone call and their decision.my brakes are grinding at times when i stop and i feel chrysler must have a bigger problem with this van than they are telling or willing to make right. I am afraid to take it in to a chrysler dealer because of the faulty brake linings they installed at 31,843 miles.we are in surprise, az now and have in the past used moore chrysler jeep in peoria for servicing.

Van intermittently stalls at low speed unexpectedly. Gauges will fail at high speed, but has only died at low speeds. Occurs when cold outside. Must turn ignition off and on again to start.sometimes must put in gear and back to park first.
I have had issues with stalling for months. Since february 2014, i have taken to local service center 3 times but they cannot fix it. Finally on may 1, 2014 after the vehicle stalled 2 times, i was involved in a collision.no injuries and the only damage was to my vehicle.current estimate to repair the vehicle from the collision is $1700.there is no estimate to repair the stalling because there is no solution known to cause the stalling.typical stall:while driving, the power steering gives out and then the brakes lock up. The vehicle has to be put into park after i attempt to safely stop.the key has to be turned all the way to off position before it will restart. Frequency is 1-4 times per week.
I have a 2008 chrysler town and country. My vin number is [xxx]. I had the recall (r03 / nhtsa 14v-373) done to my vehicle that when driving the vehicle just turns off and steering locks. So i took my vehicle in for repair of this recall however, it still does the same thing. Whenever driving it turns off and locks wheel which in several instances me and my family could have been involved in an accident. I also let a friend borrow the vehicle and it did the same thing to him. Now i took it back to the dealership which is jeep chrysler located at 55 w i 240 service rd, oklahoma city, ok 73139. They stated the codes did not show a module repair and they could not replicate the problem. However, this is the same issue as before. They supposedly replaced the module and the key fobs before during the recall repair. They wanted me to pay and authorize a two hour diagnostic for a problem that should have already been repaired.this has been an ongoing problem with this vehicle since i purchased it. However, when i first went in 2011 and addressed the issue with jeep chrysler organization. They stated they could not duplicate the problem. However, years later now that a recall for the same issue that was reported by me previously , they tried fixing it. Attached is the recall for this problem. Even after they allegedly repaired this problem, it still does the same thing as before turns off, so the problem was not fixed correctly. Now they are wanting me to pay for further testing of my vehicle before they will repair the issue. It is a true safety hazard and could lead to serious injury. I also have witnesses who have noticed this problem that they claim they can't duplicate at the shop. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Vehicle stops running at random. It has happened numerous times driving at any and all speeds, cutting out power steering and brakes while at speeds of 55 mph making it extremely hazardous.
After several months waiting for the r03 recall to be done, it was finally fixed. To my dismay, as i was driving off the parking lot of the dealer who fixed it i started hearing a clicking noise in my steering wheel. It was never like that before and now there is a problem with it. Dealer claims it is the clock spring assembly and will cost be roughly $500 but dealer refuses to pay for it. They stated they were no where near the steering wheel which is hard to believe since they were replacing the ignition which i thought were right next to it. And i've actually read several consumer complaints that had a similar problem. Chrysler is looking into this but i won't hold my breathe.
The contact owns a 2008 chrysler town and country. The contact stated that while driving at 50 mph, the vehicle stalled and the steering wheel seized.

The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of failure. The approximate failure mileage was 90,000. Parts distribution disconnect.
3 occasions driving my 3 children to school my town and country became unresponsive. The steering failed, brakes and the car went unresponsive. The electric stability control warning light came on. To remedy, i had to put car in park, and restart vehicle.the last instance when this occurred i rolled into a four way stop as my breaks did not work. An online search has shown many other have experienced this issue with the dodge caravan and town & country both made by chrysler.took van to dealer who said diagnostic test showed nothing (other people report this same experience). They updated the pcm software. I find it hard to believe a software update would render my car safe to drive and be the factor that caused it's whole system, brakes included to shut down.this issue needs to be looked at. Mini van drivers carry children!
In december of 2013 my car ignition began shutting off while driving. First time i was going 45 mph. It happened 3 times last winter and stopped. Chrysler issued an l25 recall 2 mo ago but no eta on parts still as of today. Key fob slipped to the accessory position while driving on 10/16 and 10/21 just recently while leaving the parking garage at my office. Garage is a bit bumpy like all and i have removed all keys from the fob per chrysler instructions. They claim this happens at low speeds but it has happened to me going 45-50 mph last winter. On 10/21 i was going down the parking deck on an incline and the engine shut off. Someone was changing a flat tire in aparking spot at the end the ramp i was on and a car was behind me.i didn't know the engine has shut off until i go to brake and turn. I barely stopped in time so as not to hit the guy changing his tire and the person behind me almost slammed into me. Add to this the airbags become ineffective due to the power loss and i have no power steering or power brakes. I was about to turn at the bottom of the ramp when i realized i had no power. I could have killed the person in front and the person behind almost took me out. The frequency of this happening is increasing and chrysler refuses to do anything. They told me today the recall is too big and they don't have the loaner cars to accommodate and chrysler claims this only happens at low speeds on bumpy roads and the car is safe to drive. I have a special needs child who is always in the car with me and i'm always carpooling with my daughter's gymnastics team so i always have kids in my car going to performances. This is putting me and my family and other kids at risk. My car is not safe and chrysler refuses to do anything about this. I need a loaner car and quick. I drive to work 5 days a week for an hour each way plus all the other things i have to do to transport my kids.
Car stalls for no apparent reason causing me to lose driving functions like brakes and steering.radio stays on.this happens about every two weeks.

1. While driving the esp indicator light and engine comes on and wheels automatically go into slow mode (as if i were on ice). I manually shut off button. Took it to dealer and said the coil in my steering module is bad, needs replacing. I complained of van having hard shifting in accel and decel. Fault code c1210-steering angle sensor2. The engine light reports that i have a bad egr valve, needs replacing. Found code p1404 & code p0404.
Our 2008 town & country touring has begun shutting down while moving without warning.it has happened six times in 3 months at both lower speeds, and once going 60+ mph on a busy interstate.when it loses power, we lose steering and breaking power making it very difficult to control the vehicle.this is a very dangerous situation, particularly for a car normally filled with children.it also occasionally will stall every time you start it.ours will throw no codes and no warning lights come on, so no one has been able to find the problem.the dealership claims no knowledge.this problem is discussed on multiple forums and going back only one year there are at least 7 other complaints of the same issue (odi id numbers: 10453837, 10452564, 10450629, 10441113, 10438800, 10428568 & 10422766) and many more dating past that.i know you all are probably very busy reviewing complaints, but chrysler and nhtsa should not be waiting for some one to get in a serious accident before figuring this out becomes a priority.
Stalls while driving usually at low speed.loss of power steering and brakes is dangerous. Restarts when turned off and restarted. Same problem has been reported large number of times on auto internet sites .car has 108000 miles and has been stalling this way for many months from time to time usually after cold start. Mechanics have been able to reproduce stalls and unableto correct.
I was driving the van home going about 45 mph, when all of the lights on the dash flashed on and the gauges all shot up. I lost my power steering, and realized that the van was no longer running. I tried my best to pull it off of the road, but it was difficult without power steering. The dash lights were all still on at this point. Once i was semi-safely off the road, i put the car in park and shut the ignition off. I immediately turned the ignition back on, and it seemed fine. I continued home. This has happened to me on several different occasions. After about the 3rd time, i had a local store service it. We did not have a chrysler dealership at the time. They could get no error code in the diagnostics, but told me the throttle plate sensor (?) needed to be cleaned, and perhaps that would help. It did not. It continues to do this, and there is never any warning. So far, it has only happened to me going 45 or so. I've contacted chrysler about this, and of course they have no record of this type of problem. I told her all she had to do was google it. That's what i did. Their advice was to either hand it over to the dealership to see if they could get it to malfunction (but since it could be weeks or months before it happens, that's really not an option, is it?) or the next time it does that, document everything that happens (as i've done here and reported to them) and take it to the dealership. I stressed that the van always restarts, and the chances that they'd find a code to explain what had already happened and was now over was pretty minimal. It seems that they just don't care to dig deeper, or research possible causes, or even take a vehicle that's having this issue and study it under a microscope. Looks like they're just keeping their fingers crossed that no one actually dies as a result of this issue.
Engine shuts down completely causing loss of power steering and brakes. No warnings, just dies. Diagnostics reveal a bad totally integrated power module. Recalls issued for multiple models but not mine. I was told, i have all the symptoms but i don't have the flu ! now they want almost $ 1000 to fix it ! it's an established, defective part but they'll let me drive away in it unless i can come up with the money. Chrysler said it's the same part as the recalled ones but i don't have a recall on my model. Ant time any where at any speed, it shuts down.
The contact owns a 2008 chrysler town and country. While driving approximately 30 mph, the engine shut off and caused the power steering and brakes to fail. The failure recurred. The contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 14v373000 (air bags, electrical system); however, the parts needed were unavailable to perform the repairs. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 78,000. Updated 02/24/15*ljupdated06/10/2015
I was driving down the road going between 35-40 mph and my car shut off.the radio and headlights were working but the engine was off, the power steering stopped working and the brakes were not working correctly.i tried to steer on the road but was approaching a stop sign where cross traffic did not stop.so i ended up pulling into the front yard of someone's house to slow and finally stop the car.the front yard was large so luckily i did not hit any mailboxes or houses.my car had shut off in 3 other incidences but i wasn't going as fast and i was in a residential neighborhood so i was able to let the car roll to a stop and no one was hurt.we use this car as a family car and i am worried that someone is going to get hurt if this happens again.i have called the closest dealership several times and chrysler and no one seems to be able to help me.they all of told me that nothing can be done without a certain part that is not available.when i call the dealership they forward me to chrysler and when i spoke to the person at chrysler they forward me to the dealership.
We bought this van used in march 2010. It has been the worst vehicle we have ever purchased. Prior to this 2008 model, we had a 2005. We really liked it so we figured we'd upgrade so to speak. That was the most expensive mistake ever. Since then we have replaced the brakes and rotors twice and now it needs rear brake rotors. When i am braking at any speed the van shakes. The van feels completely unbalanced for some reason. We had an alignment done on it, new tires, a/c line broke, radio would stop working, and once while i was driving the van had this weird white smoke coming out of the vents. The steering is absolutely horrible and it either pulls to the left or right. When i brake, i have to push the brake all the way down before it finally starts to slow. I have 5 young children and i feel extremely unsafe in this van. Unfortunately not only are we wasting money on repairs, but we're wasting precious time in dealerships/mechanics that could be spent together as a family. I refuse to drive higher speeds in fear that the brakes will fail. In no way do i handle this vehicle in an aggressive manner. I follow all speed limits and do not ride the brakes. This is not i repeat not normal wear on tear for any kind of vehicle! the dealership has been no help to us. We have a bumper to bumper extended warranty and it's doing no good since it's not even covered. We will never ever purchase a chrysler vehicle again and go out of our way to discourage others from buying them as well. I find it very disgusting that chrysler is not doing anything to rectify this problem. I have very precious cargo as i'm sure many others do as well. How many people have to be injured or perish before they take action???? absolutely ridiculous!

The vehicle will shut off while in motion. Stability light will illuminate, power steering, power brakes fail. Has happened on three occasions now, twice on city streets, once at highway speed.
I made an appointment for the recall to be fixed. The dealer called me the night before and said the part was used for another customer.i made the second appointment for june 26, 2015. The dealer called the day before and confirmed.i got to the dealer at 8:10am.at 9:15am a sales associate came out and told me that the part was not there.i wasted my time and am very disappointed!! i do not have anything positive to say about chrysler.their customer service is the worst i have ever had to deal with as a consumer.this is one week later and not even the manager has called me.i will never ever purchase with chrysler again!!
The contact owns a 2008 chrysler town and country. While driving 45 mph, the vehicle inadvertently veered to theleft and the eps and abs warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed with a faulty tire. The tire was rotated to the rear of the vehicle. The failure recurred. The vehicle was taken to another independent mechanic where it was diagnosed with a steering angle module and clock spring malfunction. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 90,000.
When driving at 30 mph esp/ bas/abs & brake lights appear on the dash,then steering became difficult .we are so grateful it's not on the highway.
Incident with chrysler town & country 20082/9/15 between 4:26-4:29 p.m.driving slow after just having gotten a green light (25mph or less) hit a big bump in the road.every light on thedashboard lit up and i felt the engine lose power.the van coasted for a couple seconds then seemed to gain power back.went around a bend in the road slowly and the engine lost all power. It did not come back at all this time.i tried to use the turn signal to get turn into a parking lot. Signal did not work.neither did power steering.i could not get van to turn into parking lot.there was a moving vehicle behind me and a parking lot full of cars to my left.i found the automatic brakes were not working.i turned the steering wheel hard to the right to avoid hitting an oncoming vehicle and thankfully the van coasted into a snow bank which stopped it from moving any farther. Turned on the hazard lights. I was able to get the van into park and make sure it really was not going anywhere. I took the keys out of the ignition and waited just under a minute.i decided to put the key back in the ignition and see if i could get the van to start.it started without any noticeable problems?!car key' attached to key ring with other keys.did not receive a notice in the mail about recall. Looked up possible recalls after the fact and yes, there is one.and it is much more serious than chrysler lets on. Tried to contact chrysler by phone several times and can't get through.if this had happened in one of many other places i had been driving that day the accident could've been fatal.
While driving the van stopped working, instrument panel lit up, ac and radio turned off,steering locked and brakes did not work. Contacted local dealership they were unable to diagnose after 2 days. Took it home and same thing happened on 7/11/14. Brought to non-dealership mechanic who is looking into steering column/electrical problem but still nothing after 3 days. I have an extended warranty on vehicle so plan to submit expenses to chrysler.
Car stalls (stops running) randomly at speeds below 40 mph. This causes loss of power steering and brakes which can lead to a dangerous situation. I've almost run into a tree or off the road on several occasions since this happens randomly. The traction light comes on first and then you realize the engine isn't running anymore. You have to put the car in park and then start it again. It may be fine for the rest of the drive or it may stall again. Totally random as to when it does this. It has not happened at high speeds on the highway as of yet. I've had the car to the dealer several times with this complaint and each time they can't replicate it or it was due to the key fob recall which was performed on my car 3 times.
The contact owns a 2008 chrysler town and country. The contact stated that the traction control warning lamp kept illuminating intermittently. The vehicle veered to the right and the power steering seized. The contact mentioned that excessive force was required to maneuver the vehicle. The vehicle was included in nhtsa campaign number: 11v139000 (electrical system). The dealer was notified of the failure and indicated that the part needed was not available to repair the failure. The contact constantly had to turn off and restart the vehicle to reset the computer. The vehicle was also included in nhtsa campaign number: 11v394000 (air bags). The manufacturer was not notified of the failures. The approximate failure mileage was 65,000.
The contact owns a 2008 chrysler town and country. The contact received a recall notification for nhtsa campaign number: 14v373000 (electrical system). While driving 2 mph, the engine stalled, the steering seized, and the brakes locked. The contact was able to restart the vehicle after several attempts. The failure has occurred for the past four years. The dealer was unable to duplicate the failure. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was unknown.
While driving back from work my vehicle turned off completely. It was rolling and i was unable to brake or turn the steering wheel. There was no power steering, no brakes, all the controls and lights were off. I was in the middle of the busy 4 lane street. I put my hazard lights on and moved over to the outside lane and ultimately was able to turn into the parking lot. I sat there for a while stunned by what happened. After a few minutes i tried to start the van. It did start and i was able to continue on my way home. Exactly the same situation occurred today, july 14, 2014. We also have been having issues with starting the van. After turning the key the van starts up and a few seconds later goes dead.
While driving in residential area, van would completely shut off (stall) without notice. Radio/dvd would continue. Major problem with the shut off is that there is no power steering and the brakes ould not work! it's happened multiple times. The next day the engine light came on. Took to the dealership and the only code was egr valve code. Technician did not connect it to the engine failure. After discussing with chryler, they felt that the egr valve does contribute to the engine failure at low speed.
While driving down the road the road i hear a light click and the engine shuts down, and steering becomes locked and i have to put the car in park to restart the vehicle.when this continued to happen after i heard the click i would look down and the key has moved from the on position to the acc position.this has happened multiple times since 11-14-2012 and happened a lot during 2013, i finally called chrysler in august of 2013 when the van shut down while driving and one time while sitting in line at the bank and that same day while making a left hand turn and almost got hit as lots of traffic during rush hour.i took the van to avondale dodge and they finally replaced the fuel pump as they found it was cracked this was in october of 2013,so my claim was closed with chrysler.van shut down again on 12-22-13 while looking at christimas lights in my community.there have been several other incidents since 12-22-13 that my van has shut down the latest being on 6-4-14 while driving on the 101 freeway going 65 miles an hour.i had to think quick and i remember that my son who has a 2005 dodge ram had this same issue with his truck and he told me to put the transmission into neutral and restart the van as it was coasting and then put it back into drive. The van restarted and i was able to get to my destination and back home without issue.i called chrysler on 6-6-14 to report that the issue continues and that it happened on the freeway this last time.they started a new claim and had me take it back to larry h. Miller avondale dodge.the dealer can still not recreate the issue!i fear for the safety of myself, children and grandchildren.
This has happened to us three times in the last three weeks.shortly after starting the car we traveled less than a mile at about 25 mph and the engine suddenly turned off causing the power steering and breaks to fail.the van restarted one we put it in park and continued to work fine after that.we were driving in a crowded neighborhood where children play at the time.
There is a recall on my vehicle.the parts have not been made.i received my notice in august, 2014.i have e-mailed them twice and the parts still have not been produced.why????? my car "could cause unintended engine shut off and the passive restraint systems, including the airbags to shut off.this could increasethe riskof a crash under certain conditions and increase the risk of occupant injury during a crash."
Two problems:1. While driving very slowly around a curvy road, the engine just stopped ( 2 times) making me hit the curb. The dealership re flashed the computer software and the problem went away. 2. While going up ona small hill, the steering wheel just locked and i could not steer it at all. I turned the engine off and the problem went away. The dealer states that nothing can be done. It is a safety concern especially if it happens on busy highway.
In my 2008 chrysler town and country which now has about 70,000 miles on it i have changed the front brakes and rotors 6 diffrent times.when going down a hill and braking the steering wheel shakes so bad and i dont feel like i have a full pedal.have taken back several times to ask about the problem and all i get is a run around from a chrsler garage.
The contact owns a 2008 chrysler town & country.on may 1, 10, and 16, 2008, the vehicle stalled while driving between 20-50 mph.the vehicle lost power steering and all the components in the passenger compartment shut off.the contact pulled over to the shoulder and the vehicle restarted on its own.he was able to drive the vehicle as normal.on may 19, 2008, the vehicle was taken to the dealer, but they could not duplicate the failure.he was informed to drive the vehicle until the failure recurred.the vehicle loses power when driving around corners, but does not shut off completely.the vehicle fails to immediately accelerate for up to five seconds, and then operates normally.on occasion, the radio will not turn on for at least 45 minutes before operating normally again.in addition, the sliding driver's side door has a history of opening when the contact is away from the vehicle.the current mileage was 2,100 and failure mileage was 1,638.
The contact owns a 2008 chrysler town and country. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 20 mph, the steering wheel started to vibrate. In addition, the tie rod and the axle fractured. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 65,000.
Car lost power steering and brakes, found out later there was a recall (l25). Brought to dealership in old saybrook, ct. Parts not available. Recall is for exactly the same symptoms we experienced. Called chrysler for rental or other dealerships, told i was out of luck and out of warranty it is not a warranty issue it is a recall issue. They said park it or drive it. They say it is safe but it is not. If the engine turned off on the highway my kids would be dead. Its ridiculous that they have a safety recall and don't have the parts, they are open for huge liability there. Bottom line is i don't have a safe car due to their defect, and they wont do anything about it. Eta on repair part is not know by chrysler.
We lease a 2008 chrysler town and country.at around 15,000 miles the front brake pads needed replaced and i was told that "i must be a heavy braker."at 22,000 miles we had our brake pads replaced and rotors resurfaced to the tune of $334.63.less than one month later, we were getting the now familiar grinding sound upon braking so i took it back to our mechanic who said that he should have just replaced the rotors in the first place so he replaced the brake pads and rotors and only charged us for the rotors and ate the cost of the pads and labor.a week and a half later i had to return the car to the mechanic for a horrible squealing whenever i braked.he fixed it and charged me nothing.now 4 months and 5,000 miles later, my brakes are again grinding horribly like they were in may (22,000 mi) and the brakes and possibly rotors need replaced again.i have owned dodge caravans, a 2005 town and country and now this one and have never had brake problems like this so i don't think that my braking habits are to blame.also, after one year, the ignition switch started to "stick" in the wrong position upon starting the car and would leave me with no electronic power in the car.no lights, radio, locks, dash display, etc. Which is very dangerous because if i try to correct it while driving and the car turns off, i am moving with no power steering or brakes.
While traveling at a reduced rate of speed, my 2008 town and country van shuts off.this has happened several times and has happened multiple times in a day.it is very frightening to be driving along and the engine shuts off and the vehicle loses all power.i have been told that my vehicle is under a ignition node recall.today, i called my dealer and the representative claimed to have never heard of the town and country shutting off while driving.i have seen many instances of this on the internet and have trouble believing the dealer has not heard of this.i am concerned for our safety while driving this car.please advise as to what action i should take.
While i was driving on the on-ramp to a highway my car hit a bump and lost control and i started sliding. Thankfully there happened to be no one coming. I noticed that when my van stopped halfway in a ditch and halfway on the left lane i went to move my vehicle it wouldn't move so i then noticed it was off but still in drive and the key was still on. So i put it in park and shut it off then turned it back on then was able to proceed driving but since then my esp/bas, and traction control light have been on. After having that happened i had the recall on my van fixed. Well the lights are still there and now the driving is worse. I cant control my steering and they say it is my steering angle sensor. They also say my catalytic converter needs fixed and a pcm flash. Which i don't understand how all these problems started since my ignition unwillingly shut off. I am thinking that caused a power surge, and now its going to cost me $2000 to fix it if not more. My problems now are:1) misfire in cylinder 42) rough idle3) accelerating slowly while rpm's are above 30004) stumbling while driving (shakes or vibrates really bad while in drive/ or putters)5) esp/bas, traction control, and check engine light illuminated on dash6) steering wheel shakes from left to right on its own7) loud engine noise8) motor shakes9) abs reader says to replace steering angle sensor (clockspring)10) there is more i just cannot think of it right now. This is currently what i have fixed in the last two weeks to see if it helps the problem.1) oil change (always up to date)2) spark plugs3) spark plug wires4) battery5) ignition coil pack6) upstream o2 sensor7) recall done on win module ignition switch fobik keyi have contacted chrysler to inform them of this and they tell me there is nothing they can do about it and its not a manufacture defect.
I have already filed a complaint with reference to the recurring brake problem on this vehicle (complaint #10300223). This week the brakes are again making noises and vibrating specially in the highway. This will be the third timewe experience it, they already repaired, replaced and rebuilt the front and rear brakes twice. I am concern about the safety of my family. At this point, i want to recur to the california lemon law but chrysler is not helping me. I beg youhelp me with this issue please. I do all the required maintenance at the chrysler dealership. We also experience a steering fluid hose failure, "not under warranty" at the same time, cost $250. Also we needed to replace the rubber cover for the parking brake so your foot don't slip, they said they don't sale that part, we had to buy the whole parking brake lever, another $200. This is an abuse to the consumer.[xxx]
I was driving about 30 miles an hour when my van shut off by itself. I had to pull over to the side with no power steering or power breaks, shift into park and restart my van. After the restart it again shutdown on its own at the next stop sign. I restarted and have not his this particular problem happen again. I have also had random problems with the air conditioning / heater fans randomly shutting off. To remedy the problem the with fans i have to shut off the van completely and restart and then the fans start working again.
There seems to be an issue with the clockspring mechanism in the steering column of the 2008 t&c vans.mine went out and when the mechanic tried to get one from the local dealer he was told that it is backordered along with several hundred backordered.obviously this is an issue that needs to be addressed as it affects many items.
While driving down a main road, the car suddenly shut down. Nothing worked. I could not brake or steer as power steering went. The only thing that stayed on was the radio. Car slowly coasted and eventually stopped. My 2 young children were in the car, i have already told dealer about this and they said they could find nothing wrong but that it sounds like a key roll back issue. They told me if it happens while driving again i should turn key as it may have moved from on position to acc position due to a bump in the road.turning the key did nothing. After the car stopped i attempted to restart car and everything worked except the malfunction indicator light stayed on.this is a serious issue and chrysler service department did not seem to care when i called! then i begin researching and find that they recalled 2009 vehicles of the same make for the same problem!
I was driving on a ny highway at 60 mph when my car suddenly shut off and the ignition turned to the acc position. I had my child in the back seat and we narrowly escaped an accident. I brought the car to my chrysler dealership and paid $800 for a clockspring which i was told would prevent this from happening again. It just happened again 3 weeks ago. This time i was in rush hour traffic and almost caused a multiple car collision. I had no control over steering wheel or brakes. The car completely shuts off. I called chrysler and they said "wow, i never heard that before". Really?? because models 2009-present have been recalled for this exact issue yet you have no idea what i'm talking about. My car was at the dealership again for 11 days and i was told they don't know what the problem is either. I spent $900 on a rental for that waste of time. These 2008 cars need to be recalled before someone gets killed.i do believe it will happen soon because this is a scary situation to be in.
We're following up on our vehicle invoice and receipts sent to chrysler customer assistance, p.o box 21-8007 auburn hills, mi 48321-8007.it has been over 3 months and we still haven't received the proper reimbursement for the recall. We should have received our payment within 60 days as documented in the recall notification. The recall # is l25/ nhtsa 14v-373 due to the frequency operated button ignition key which would cause the engine to shut off. Please contact us with the status or update to this recall.
The vehicle has "shut off" while driving at moderate speeds (30-45 mph) 3 times within the past month.the most recent incident was june 25.the vehicle "shuts off" with no warning and no check engine light.i will have the vehicle checked for codes, on the off chance something has been stored.so far, i have been able to guide the vehicle to the side of the road and come to a stop. It appears that i still had steering and braking capabilities.i was able to put the vehicle in park, restart the vehicle, and travel on without incident the first two occurrences.however, on june 25, the vehicle would not immediately restart.it did restart after several attempts.unless the condition repeats for the mechanic, the likelihood of their being able to diagnose the root cause is slim.within the past week, there have been several times the vehicle has been difficult to start.the vehicle will turn on and then immediately turn itself off.adding gas by depressing the fuel pedal does not affect the vehicle's ability to remain started.it still turns itself off.thus far, i have been able to get the vehicle started eventually.this incident has occurred on both hot and cold start conditions.
I was driving down a city street when the van suddenly died in the middle of the road. It lost power steering and brakes and wouldn't release the key. After a few minutes the van started again. I began to drive home through city streets when about 10 minutes later the van once again died and lost power to the brakes and steering and wouldn't release key eventually the car maybe a clicking sound and allowed me to start car. I took it to the dealership and they could not duplicate the problem and found no error codes.
My chrysler town and country had performed the recall on the ignition switch however my van still shuts down while driving. At first it started upon morning when first starting out the day, but now it shuts off even after 45 minutes of driving the vehicle causing me to loose control of the steering and having to be cautious so that i wont be rear ended or worse.i have taking it in to be diagnosed but the technicians after having the van hooked up to their diagnostic machine are still unable to see anything wrong. No error codes are showing. Also now, while parked and the engine off with no keys... My doors will just open by themselves or automatically lock. It did it yesterday morning however my car was running, the van locked sounding my alarm that sounded as if i had pressed the key to lock.i hope that someone can call or email me to give an explanation what could be the problem as well as how i can resolve this problem,
While driving my car has turned off due to the recall on the win module over 6 times now.thank god i was driving at a low speed on a side street each time. I lose all power and the vehicle completely turns off.i do not feel safe in this car. I hope your conscience can withstand possible crashes and people losing their lives because your piece of [xxx] company has had over a year to fix this and has not.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
While i'm driving my vehicle home from work it will stall, taking the ability to steer away. Like it just shuts off right in the middle of driving. It usually happens when i am turning or going around a curve.
The contact owns a 2008 chrysler town & country.while driving at any speed, the vehicle tends to pull to the right.the vehicle has been diagnosed by the dealer, but the failure still occurs. Updated 06/17/08. *lj
While driving my car shuts off in the middle of driving wipers starts flashingdash boardgoes hey wire check engine light comes on and its very hard to steer and wont start. Then after a few hours it might star back up or days later.
As i left my apartment to go to work, and after driving approximately 1 mile, i approached a stop light.as i pressed the brake pedal, suddenly my power steering went out, the "traction" light turned on on my dashboard, and the engine turned off.i put the car in park, turned the key to the off position, then restarted the van.it drove fine after that.having the engine, steering, and brakes all shut down randomly while the electrical items still work was frightening.if it happens on the highway, i don't know what i will do.
Numerous times the car engine/ignition has shut off while driving. All power assist are then disabled. We have been lucky that so far each event has not been on freeway driving and we were able to sluggishly steer the car to the side of the road.we have filed this complaint with our dealer and with chrysler but are still waiting for recall action. We have been told by our dealership (larry moore chrysler-peoria , az. That the parts for our model year are not even available yet?? what happens if we are in an accident due to this defect??seems unconscionable that chrysler admits the problem (finally), puts out recalls, knows it is a huge safety issue and then is not prompt in settling the matter?
After the ignition switch recall was performed on my vehicle we experienced a stall condition that rendered the steering and brakes unusable for several seconds.the situation nearly resulted in an accident.the condition happen on a dry, sunny day while the car was in motion but not accelerating prior to going into a turn.
My town and country is involved in the l25 recall. There have been several occasions where during operation, the key moves from the "on" position. This causes the vehicle to shut off and i am unable to steer or engage the brakes. I have contacted chrysler several times about this and to receive an estimated time of when the parts will be available for repair. I contacted them today, 1/6/2015 to let them know that it happened again and i almost caused an accident on a major highway. I also requested for them to provide me with a safe vehicle to drive while waiting on the parts for repair due to the concern i had for the safety of my children and other drivers. They said that it was not possible because they did not know when the parts would be available. This disregard for the safety of my family and the public is unacceptable. I would like to be contacted and informed of other actions i can take so that injuries and/or deaths do not occur due to their failure to remedy this defect and refusal to provide me with temporary safe transportation.
All four brake system lights are lite up. Steering has become loose and steering wheel wobbles. I have changed the pads on brakes 4 times in a year and my rotors are still very grooved. Dust is sucking up into the cab of the vehicle for no reason. There is a knocking coming from the engine that sometimes is there but most of the time its present was told by the dealer i bought from that was normal in these vans. Has a hard time coming to a stop now. I can not believe this has not been recalled codes on machine that are indicated are c2200 and c2205 which are ridiculous to buy and from what i have read everyone is having problems with them
Vehicle brought in several times to dealer because the vehicle pulls away from the crest of the road, no matter how slight the angle.alignment is reportedly ok, vehicle still pulls.dangerous situation in a curve causing me to steer in the opposite direction of the turn.there have been multiple attempts to align the vehicle but no attempt to inspect the suspension or steering components.
Vehicle shuts off randomly while in motion on city streets going between 10 - 30 mph. The recall (r03) for this problem has been done and the shut-offs still happen. Unknown fault or problem. Several diagnostics done over the past 2 years, all to no avail. Engine tune up with plugs performed.map sensor replaced. No error codes.help us!!!
Engine was started and journey started on tarmac road.2 minutes later, esp amber warning light illuminated, power steering disengaged and brakes went hard.acceleration was not possible.car had to be forced to side of road and restarted.this has happened twice in one month.
My van will just turn itself off while you are driving and you lose all power steering and etc.we have had it to the dealership 3 times.i believe it should be included in the ignition switch recall but i have contacted the chrysler 1-800 number and contacted them thru their website and they won't help me.the representative thru their 1-800 number wants me to pay to take it to another chrysler dealership and pay them to look at it after i have already paid $800 to my local one to have a switch replaced that did not fix the problem.
Dashboard warning light esp/bas illuminated.i brought the vehicle to the dealer to see what was wrong.the dealer diagnosed the problem and found that the "steering angle sensor" was bad.the steering "clock spring" was suggested to be replaced due to the fact that the "steering angle sensor" was part of a whole unit (the clock spring) and cannot be changed separately.my vehicle was just out of warranty at 36,000 miles and was no longer covered.i am concerned that the bad part is connected to the vehicle stability system and why it has failed so early in the life of the vehicle.
The contact owns a 2008 chrysler town and country. While turning the ignition over, the vehicle remained idle and the brakes and power steering seized without warning. The failure recurred on four occasions. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic for diagnostic testing, but found nothing wrong with the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 120,000.
My traction sensor is not working which is causing my a safety issue. When i start driving (in motion), the abs traction starts even when there is no water, ice or poor driving conditions. The dealership replaced the abs module and its still doing it. They now say they will have to replace the sensor in the steering column (wheel). This is very scary as it stops my acceleration and it affects the anti-lock breaks. I was hoping this was all due to an minor auto collision but the insurance company told me there is absolutely no way this could have been caused because of it. They said its a coincidence and that it just happened on its own at the same time. I would say the fault is unknown.
The contact owns a 2008 chrysler town and country. The contact stated that that when the key was turned to the off position, the vehicle remained on. In addition, the door locks, the wiper blades and the horn activated erroneously. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. A recall notice for nhtsa campaign number 14v373000(electrical system) was received in may 2015. After contacting both the dealer and the manufacturer, the contact was informed that the parts needed to repair the vehicle were not available. In addition, the contact stated that while driving approximately 35 mph, the steering wheel became very difficult to turn. The failure mileage was 50,000.

"takata recall"while driving on a normal street the car will just turn off. I will lose control of steering, brakes and the ability of driving it. After the vehicle stops, i put it in park and starts back up.
Regarding safety recall: l25/nhtsa 14v-373i have been complaining about this problem since 2008!since it is an intermittent problem, the service representatives at east hills chrysler (greenvale, ny) ignored me.i was told repeatedly that there was no such problem.my car stalled several times when i was on ny expressways going approximately 55 mph, and on neighborhood roads going a range of 25 to 40.it happened to my 18 yr old daughter on the long island expressway when she was going 55.we andyou are lucky no accident occurred and we were able to get to the side of the road.the car does not start properly either.the ignition does not catch unless the fobik is wiggled of the brakes and gas pedal are tapped repeatedly.i complained about this problem every time i took my car to the dealership over the last 6 years.each time, i was given a different excuse.now east hills has my car indefinitely because parts are on back order indefinitely.to boot, the loaner car was dirty, smells bad, windshield was smoky, one tire needed air, and the washer fluid was empty.i am not at all satisfied with this car or the east hills chrysler dealership.maybe someday, you will also acknowledge the brake system problem.for now, it's about time you acknowledged the ignition/fobik problem!we've known about the problem for years!
While i am driving my 2008 chrysler town and country it shuts off without warning. When this happens i am usually driving less than 35mph but it is very difficult to control the van due to a loss of power steering, electric, and gas control. I usually have to apply the brake, shift it in neutral, and wait for the engine to restart (which sometimes stalls for a few seconds). This is very concerning to me as a parent with 3 children who usually travel with me and it happens frequently--so far up to 6 times in 1 day.
While driving this van, this vehicle stops in middle of the driving and steering locks. I cannot movecar left or right... It locks often. Make driving of this vehicle makes very dangerous and this is a life threatening defect. Why would a moving vehicle stops suddenly and it can be restarted after taking out the key anf placing it back in.this issue is occuring when vehicle is in motion. The same issue occures twice a month
For the past several months the car will not start and takes several tries to successfully start the car. It hesitates at around 35 mph and tries to stall.i have been waiting for chrysler to follow up with a second (l-25) recall notice. Yesterday, 12/14/14 while going around a round-about it died completely and i lost power steering, and all power to the car.i was able to restart the car and return it home.this is my main form of transportation, used to take the kids to school and activities. I was told by the dealer today they have been advised not to touch it by chrysler and told to contact chrysler. The representative at chrysler said i needed to take it up with the dealer as it is not a matter of having a part, but thatchrysler does not have a solution. This is very concerning, as it poses a serious safety to concern to me, my kids, and other drivers. Please let me know what recourse i have in getting chrysler to complete the full repairto my satisfaction.**the mopar website says parts are available. It would seem a huge liability that chrysler would not make driver and passenger safety priority.
Within the first 10 to 15 minutes of driving the vehicle, the engine will shut off causing extremely hard steering and braking. There does not seem to be a pattern as to if i use the remote start or just the key. It does seem to happen more in cold weather than when the weather is warmer. This happens on the average of 3 to 5 times a week. After the engine cuts off and then re-started, there are no other cut offs until the vehicle sits for some period of time and started up again. This is so serious that my wife and daughter cannot drive the vehicle. I know that a recall has been issued but it has been several months and there isnothing (according to the dealer) that can be done so the vehicle can be driven safely!help please!!
The engine just stalled with no warning.had no power steering or brakes. Just pulled out of a parking lot where the car was sitting for a few hours.this is the third time this has done it.
My vehicle will shut off while i'm driving. It's been an ongoing issue. There are no lights that come on, on the dashboard that indicate any error, except the antilock break light will occasionally light up. I could be driving slow or fast, it makes no difference, it will just shut off, and the power steering and brakes lose power and don't work. This is very dangerous and can easily cause an accident. I have done some research online and have also seen this exact same problem with hundreds upon hundreds of other consumers with the same make and model. People have taken their vehicles to chrysler dealerships and mechanics and no one can figure out the cause. This is a huge safety issue. I have small children, 2 still in carseats, and my youngest who is 1 is handicap. I am scared to drive it. I still owe $10,000 on my auto loan for this car, so i am stuck with it. It seems like this is a defective vehicle, since so many others are having the same mystery safety issue.
The contact owns a 2008 chrysler town and country. While driving various speeds, all the instrument panel indicators illuminated and the vehicle stalled. Also, the steering wheel became difficult to maneuver. The driver coasted the vehicle to the side of the road, turned the vehicle off, waited a few minutes before restarting the engine, and was able to resume driving. The failure recurred twice. The vehicle was taken to autonation chrysler (21027 i 45, spring, tx 77388, phone number: (281) 715-6927), but the vehicle could not be serviced due to a restriction from chrysler. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 47,000.
Our van makes a grinding or rubbing noise coming from the front end/axles. It is especially noticeable when we are turning. It sounds like a fluttering/grinding of metal or some part that is revolving with the wheels as we drive.
L25recall. Ignition failed three timesno parts to fix yet. No other keys on fob last time it turned off.key is loose in the ignition (per the local chrysler service mgr). Engine turned off three times while drive without touching the key.happened three time at different speedsfirst time at 45 miles per hour car just stopped in the middle of the road.. Once faster, once slower. My 22 year old daughter was driving the car all three times. All the lights on the dash come on and she said the steering would not work and the brakes did not work.she called crying the first time from the middle of the road did not know what to do. Engine had stopped. (no codes showed on diagnostic computer when dealer charged for the diagnostic) she ended up in the middle of the road stopped. Engine did restart all three times.local chrysler dealer could not get to duplicate even though the said they drove car 4 or 5 times. (even though they said they drove it 4 or 5 times, no miles were put one the van while in the dealership.even the $115 diagnostic charge from the dealership showed no miles were put on the van). They charged because they said they could not confirm it was the l25 recall which they have no parts to fix yet.the local chrysler dealer said they ran a diagnostic for $115 that showed no computer codes which the service manager said sounds like the ignition recall symptoms, but still charged me because they could not get it to duplicate at the dealership.(i did not know a safety recall had to be duplicated to get work done without charging)the local chyrsler dealership said that it should be safe to keep driving, they could not find anything wrong with it.my 22 daughter is scared to death of the van but is having to keep driving it.

I have a chrysler 2008 town and country with 66000 miles on it. While driving my van at approx 35 miles per hour the van suddenly flashed the electronic throttle control light, check engine light, and slippery condition light.the van lost the ability to press on the gas pedal and make it go.it continued to idle down the road, but the gas pedal made no difference on the speed i was going.i idled into a driveway, turned the van off, let it sit for approx 30 minutes, then restarted the van.the van started fine, but while driving it home it did the same thing. I idled the last 1/2 mile home to get the van in the driveway.the next morning i made a service appointment and drove the van to the dealership.it stopped running one time on the drive, which is approx 5 miles away from my house.i again had to stop the vehicle, put it in park, and restart the vehicle. The dealership called and said that it was a wire going to the electronic throttle control that needed to be repaired.i see that there was a service bulletin regarding this issue in the 2010 town and country and didn't know if the same bulletin applied to the 2008. I feel that this is a major safety issue as the van loses all ability to get up and go.had i been driving on the highway when it lost all power i could have caused a major accident! within the past month we have also replaced the egr valve, the power steering fluid line, and the power harnesses on the door. They are now taking apart the engine because it is making a "lifter tapping" noise.
We bought our 2008 chrysler town and country in may of 2014 used from kunes ford antioch illinois. The first time i went to use my electric start, about 15 mins after car was going the van started going crazy windshield wipers/ fluid horn blaring doors lock can't use the fobik key to unlock the only way to stop it was to disconnect battery. Couple months past and it started acting to where i would go to start the car and it would just click and would t start. It has done all of the listed above numerous times but now it is getting more and more. About 3 weeks ago it did it 7 times in one week 4 of those times i had my 4 children in the vehicle. While i am driving down the street it will start to do this craziness and then it will stall. Yesterday august 4 2015 it did it twice the second time it started with wipers while driving when i got home i parked it took the key out of ignition and the van was still running and doing the wipers the doors locked and i could t get it unlocked to get my children out of the car. I have had it at a chrysler dealer for service for 2 weeks where the service manager drove it personally he was able to get it to do the same thing to him. I had my vehicle returned after two weeks charged $235 dollars and was told good luck to you we have no clue what's causing it. I have been in contact and complaining to chrysler which i now have a case manager who could only tell me to take it to dealership while its in process to have it ran for codes which i did yeaturday and was laughed at but the service guys. I am at my wits end. This is the car we purchased for our family to be safe in but instead i am driving a death trap and no one has an answer or wants to help. Someone needs to do something about this this is a serious problem. I just googled it and found tons of complaints about same thing. This is an issue for sure!! please help!!!
While driving down a secondary road at appriximately 25 mph the motor shut down as well as power to the steering and brakes. Proceeded to coast down the road until a safe place was identified to turn off the road. Since power had cutoff steering and braking the vehicle was extremely difficulty. Stopped the vehicle safely and placed the shifter into park and turned the ignition to the off position. Restarted the vehicle with no indication of any further problems. Two months later the same problem occured but vehicle was traveling at 35 mph this time.
Noticed loud grinding noise coming from front end of vehicle and vibration in steering wheel. Noise and vibration increased with speed. Was told both front bearings were bad and needed replacement. Understood a recall was conducted and a service bulletin was issued for the 2008 town & country, but chrysler said my vehicle was not affected, which is odd considering the issues in my t/c seem to very the very issues found within the recall and bulletin detailing required repair.
Just purchased a used 2008 chrysler town & country. It was taken to the shop for extensive maintenance, including the replacement of the hub bearing - front right with oem parts. Upon further inspection we ascertained that there is a recall for this part for the 2008 model year. Chrysler notification k19 states:"the front wheel bearings on your vehicle (vin: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) may develop a growling or grinding noise. The bearing noise may increase or decrease during turning maneuvers. What your dealerwill do:chrysler will service your vehicle free of charge (parts and labor) well, it turns out that my vehicle vin number is not included in the recall. Is there a reason for this? can you look into this? thank you.
While in motion, the electrical system and engine will suddenly turn off, which will then depower various key safety systems including but not limited to air bags, power steering, and power braking. Loss of functionality of these systems increase the risk of crash and/or increase the risk of injury in the event of a crash.this happens with no warning while driving at highway speed on the highway.this has happened multiple times.i have no choice but to drive it this way.
Poor engineering on the hoses already had 4 hoses leak at crimps on cooling system and power steering systemthis should be a warranty recall with only 70,000 miles never seen anything like this.

Automatic doors and tailgate do not stop if something is in their path.my wife received a serious bump on her head when the tailgate closed on her, her hand was caught in the door as it was sliding closed and my 2 year old son had his fingers closed in the sliding passenger door.there does not seem to be any or accurate sensors to prevent this and it could result in a very serious injury.i do not need to tell you the consequence of a child's head or torso being crushed.i am truly disturbed by this and i hope you will investigate it fully and find a satisfactory resolve, before there are any other injuries.the dealer simply stated they would reprogram the sensors.they picked the vehicle up and later called to say there was really nothing wrong, that although the door did close on their hand and it did hurt, it eventually stopped and i should tell my 2 year old not to put his hand in the way of the closing doors.i don't even know how to respond to their reply.
Chrome cover on passenger side interior door pull split and exposed a very sharp edge that cut the passenger's hand.
Small plastic piece that connects the sliding door cables to the track cable broke rendering door immovable by remote.there is one hex bolt that attaches this piece to track.this has been replaced previously on both of the doors on this vehicle.this time it's the right side door.

Our 2008 chrysler town & country leaked water from a manufacturer defect in the ac drain tube, rotted the carpet and underlay, filled the wiring harness under the passenger carpet with water. The drain tube was replaced under a recall. The ac started to blow hot air.the dealer said it was the ac compressor so we had it replaced. $ 800. This did not fix the problem so they said it needed theac pressure switch and harness so we replaced it. $400. This still did not fix the problem so the chrysler dealer then diagnosed the tipm. After $ 1200 we still have no ac. We have another $ 500 to pay if we can ever get the part. The whole problem is from the water from the defective drain tube shorting the electrical system and chrysler know it. The dealer said the tipm was on back order and there were 600 others ahead of us. We contacted chrysler but they are just giving us the run around. We bought chrysler to support american jobs. What a grave mistake.
Received a head injury from a parked vehicles overhead console. The head injury required the response of an ambulance due to blood loss. Also required use of surgical glue under to car of adr to close the wound.center console overhead compartment is very sharp on its edge and can inflect substantial injure.

The body of the van collects water in the doors housing the glass in the sliding doors on both passenger and driver's side. No repairs have been made to body and a recent visit to a break shop even replacement breaks the van still makes squeaks at times.

Metal clang from catalytic converter shield since i had vehicle new. Dealer said nothing they can do. Never had this problem in any vehicle.rattling from slider door, cannot isolate. I have let it go but now it bothering me about the clanging.
I arrived at work and was going to park in my dedicated parking spot.i had to turn to the left and turned the steering wheel accordingly, but a car was approaching from the front so i stopped and waited for it to pass. I took my foot off the brake pedal and suddenly without any warning the car shot forward as if the gas pedal had been stepped on very hard. I had about 50 feet to the building and was fortunate to be able to correct the steering wheel from the turned position and straighten the wheels to avoid hitting the building full-on. As i hit the side of the building the car came to a stand still, but the engine kept running at full revs. I managed to force the car out of gear, but the engine kept running at high revs. I kept pushing the brake pedal down as hard as i could, and suddenly without doing anything else, the engine returned to normal revs. The car was heavily damaged as was the building. If it had not been that i managed to correct the steering in that short distance, and hit the building full-on, the pillars that hold up the whole front of the buiding would have colapsed on the car. I have done extensive research and have a 9 page printout of exactly the same thing happening to other drivers. This is a tremendous safety issue.
My wife was stopped on the i-94 freeway in detroit, mi.a vehicle was closing in behind her at a high rate of speed, and crashed into the rear end of the vehicle.her vehicle then lunged forward and hit the vehicle in front of her.the front and rear of the vehicle experienced significant damage, yet none of the airbags in the vehicle deployed.my wife's head contacted the steering wheel.she was transported by ambulance to the hospital for evaluation.she currently has a fractured nose, and severely swollen/black&blue eyes.we have 2 children under the age of 5, who thankfully were not in the vehicle.the fireman on the scene had stated that he has been working as a fireman for 18 years, and he has never seen a vehicle with as much frontal damage in which the airbags did not deploy.we have filed a claim with our insurance company, and fully expect the vehicle to be totaled out due to the significant damage.i have since taken many pictures of the damage, and can send them to you if you provide an actual email address.
The driver side sliding door has become stuck in a closed and locked condition. Nothing i do, whether electrical, electronic, or mechanical, will unlock or open the door. This occurred the last time the door was closed and locked (car was stationary, of course). Fuses has been checked. The door is effectively unavailable as a means of egress in event of an emergency.
This vehicle drove straight into a stopped vehicle resulting in $8990 in damages to the front including destruction of the bumper, replacement of the hood, etc. The air bag did not deploy; something the manager at the repair facility couldn't believe.in the past year or so, the vehicle will "capture" the key when you attempt to shut the engine off and remove the key. You have to restart the engine and cycle the key back off to remove the key. It takes as many as five cycles of shutting off the engine and restarting the engine before the key can be removed. The problem is consistent but sporadic; i.e., it happens a few times then is fine for a few weeks and then the problem resurfaces.

I have a 2008 chrysler town and county that i have had problems with the doors about a month after i purchased it.i had just parked it was christmas eve and the side passenger door opened by itself and my puppy got out in a very busy shopping center.i have gone out to go to work in the morning and the door is open.on monday, may 21 i came out of work and the back hatch was open.i have made a number of trips to the dealer.they really are not much help.i was told they are having to reprogram the doors and in some cased even put in new rails.chrysler really has a safety issue with this van.
Beginning in 2010, both rear sliding doors began malfunctioning. When opened either with the remote or inside button, they begin to open and when most of the way open, close on its own. It started out doing it infrequently, about once every 50 times the door was opened. Over the last year it has become more frequent, doing it about once every few days or so. Once in 2010, my 3 year old daughter was getting out and the door malfunctioned and caught her in between, causing a bruise on her face. For some reason the door did not "bounce back" when it made contact with her, but thankfully i was standing there and was able to manually force the door back open.this year, the door again malfunctioned and almost caught my 8 yr old, but he managed to get out of the way. I have taken it to the dealer twice for this and both times they told me it is functioning fine.the first time i picked it up from the dealer i tested the door.i opened and shut it about 15 times and it malfunctioned. I went inside to get the repair tech to show him and when it didn't happen again he told me there was nothing he could do. When i brought the van in again to have them look at it the second time, they again told me it was functioning fine and that since my van needed a new battery that they thought the battery was the problem. The door did it again that night and again after that three days later. I contacted them twice about it again, asking them if i video taped it if they would believe me and figure out what was wrong. They told me it wouldn't matter and that they would need to keep it until they saw it. They had my van this last time for 5 days! i had to pay $217 for a rental because they didn't find anything. This is dangerous! i have four children getting in and out everyday. I don't have the money for rentals for an unspecified amount of time, but this is dangerous and needs to get fixed!

I have a 2008 town and countryand have had nothing but problems for the last 27 months. My doors closed in on me while putting my 2 year old into the car seat. The la time was jan.2 2010 and i am pregnant could not turn around to force the door open my husband had to get out of the car and manually open the door. If that would have been my2 year old she would of been hurt. Chrysler doesn't seem to care this car is a lemon.
We have had nothing but problems since we bought this vehicle in september 2007. First, the doors reopen by themselves - that took 8 trips to the service department before it was finally fixed in may 2008. Another issue that has not been resolved is that the starter sticks when you start the vehicle. This is an occasional problem and difficult for the service department to duplicate. Yesterday, june 8, the van completely lost power while i was driving. I lost all power steering, brakes, lights - everything! i have taken it to the dealer and they can't figure it out and daimlerchrysler has not been any help. In fact, when i called to inquire about a repurchase of the vehicle - i asked 4 times to speak to a supervisor and then the agent hung up on me when i insisted that i speak with a supervisor! i'm extremely worried about the safety of this vehicle. I will not allow my children to ride in this vehicle again.

After 6 weeks of owning the vehicle i noticed that the sliding doors were not operating correctly.they would open or close on their own.it started off being only once or twice a month to now an almost everyday occurrence.i have taken it back to the dealership and they sent it to another dealership and i am being told "they can't get it to duplicate" well al i can say is what is it going to take for them to fix the problem, a child getting badly hurt or killed.the final straw for me was just last week when the door closed on my 10 yr. Olds leg and i had to put my whole body in the door to get it to stop.it bruise my back and cut my sons leg.i am currently trying to get rid of the van before it does major damage to one of my kids,but i feel like i should at least get the money back i have put into it since now i am going to have to come up more money to get a new car and pay sales tax all over again. Not to mention the fact that all you have to do is google "problems with chrysler vans sliding doors" and there are hundreds of people out there having the same problem.why won't you guys do anything to help us, or is this another one of those times when a tragedy like the death of a child has to happen to make you wake up and take action. I even contacted chrysler and told me that they didn't have any record of people complaining about the sliding door issues i was having.i told that lady she was full of crap because you can go online and see hundreds of stories of people having the same problems.
The sliding doors on my new mini van don't close properly plus the doors can be open and it lets you drive away.it gives one sound at the beginning.the company does not recognize a problem with one side (even though the other does the same thing and it recognized it-however even after fixed it still does it).they do not recognize the open doors while you drive away thing.when doors are closed, they will not open until car is in park.they should make it so when cars are open, you can not take it out of park.

In december 2009 there was a loud rumbling sound coming from the front of my car. I took it to merlins & was told it was both front wheel bearings. I paid $600 to have the bearings repaired. Now in september 2011 i'm having the same problem that the front bearings need to be repaired.

I originally wrote a letter to chrysler corporation in august of 2010 and instructed them to forward the letter to you.i do not believe that ever happened so i decided i should file a complaint. Myself. Back in 2010 chrysler notified owners that there is a problem with the braking system in 2008 town and country's that leads to premature wear.in the notice it said that chrysler would pay for the first replacement of brake pads and rotors based on low mileage repolacements being required.i feel this is an unsafe situation that with no warning whatsoever the pads can just wear out and the rotors warp.i have had to replace the front brake pads 3 times with new rotors twice.replaced at 12,000, 21,000, 34,000.the vehicle has been through a total of 4 new sets of pads and 3 sets of rotors.i also know that there is a defect with the front end geometry on the van and that could be a contributing factor.at a service appointment shortly after the initial purchase i was informed that the van needed all new struts, shocks, bushings, and front sway bar.the service manager indicated that there was a bulletin, and that the height of the mounting points were off, and thus all new parts were needed to fix the front end geometry, so the front sway bar would not break or wear out prematurely.i feel that the entire brake system is too light for the overall weight of the vehicle and the heat generated by the rotors is very dangerous.i feel the brakes should be recalled by chrysler, and fixed.
1st vehicle stopped shifting had to pull over turn off car and wait then it worked for awhile , does this every few days. Brakes have been replaced 4 times before 55000 on the vehicle. At 58000 the vehicle bounces over every bump big or small some thing wrong in front end have been told it?s fine
At approx 30,000 miles, i rotated the tires, the front/rear brakes were shot. I replaced everything. I later learned about the recall. Brewbaker chrysler told me "too bad, i guess you learned a lesson" when i brought them my receipts for the brake parts. Around the same time, i was replacing the wiper blades when i notice the driverside front strut tower was severely rusted. Water is trapped in the "cup" of the strut tower and had eaten quite a bit. Shortly thereafter, i traded the vehicle. I had issues with the sliding rear doors(reopening with nothing in the way and closing too hard, ie safety feature inop), the automatic back door(broken linkage), the "y" cooling hose broke/split, using a quart of oil every 1,000 miles and locking with the keys inside. Upon trade-in, the van had approx 58,000 miles. I will never buy another chrysler product again! i've never had one vehicle with so many problems in such a short time. My current vehicle, 02 chevy s10 4.3l v6 (owned since new, .2 miles) has 119,000+ miles and the only problem i've had was a bad tps, at around 100,000 miles. Chrysler needs to step up their game and fix there vehicles.
Our van makes a grinding or rubbing noise coming from the front end/axles. It is especially noticeable when we are turning. It sounds like a fluttering/grinding of metal or some part that is revolving with the wheels as we drive.

Rear axle brace that fastens rear wheel to body broke ,leaving wheel only fastened by spring and shock , flopping erratically. This has happened twice to us once at 20 mph and once at 40 mph .we both times brought the vehicle to a slow easy stop ..we shudder to think what would have happened, at any higher speeds.the chrysler dealership we showed photos of the broken bar to after the first break expressed surprise ,"we have never seen this before " was their comment. The break was at the cut-out hole in the brace ,the hole is fairly large , big enough to stick all 5 fingers into.(we notice that after 2009 models, this fairly large cut-out hole was reduced to a quarter inch slit , on the models we checked. Chrysler wanted to replace the entire rear axle ,but we ended up taking it to a master welder who as a favor welded and sanded it to where you could not tell there was ever a break..6 months later in october 2015, it happened again breaking about 2 inches from the first episode break,on the same piece of metal .we were at about 40 mph ,the back wheel flopping ,almost throwing us off the road.this time we requested our welder friend to add plates to the brace ,photo of finished job enclosed , you can still see the original cut-out. .we figured we just ended up with a bad piece of metal on our van. But then in april 2016,my nephew ,who has a 2008 chrysler built van (sold by vw) experienced exactly the same axle brace failure,while moving, at exactly the same spot in the brace,at the same type of cutout hole.he lives about 5 miles from us, i personally examined his van axle brace ,and we discovered the other side brace was almost broken through too ..he has a wife and 3 small children,this was very traumatic thing for the family. We concluded this must be a very common problem, and wonder if people are not dying across the country from this obvious axle brace defect.
To whom it may my 2008 chrysler town and country caught fire last friday in my garage. When i woke up to bring my kids to school i noticed the back part of the car was burned in the car was filled with smoke. I immediately called the fire department once they got there they noticed the car was cold, that the fire had been started, and put itself out, in the middle of the night. The fire inspector came as well, and determined it was an electrical fire from the rear speaker, where my daughter typical sits.my car is a total loss. Likely we would not hurt, the fire was right about the gas tank! i'm wondering if this is something i could file a case on or if you can direct me to someone who handles cases such as this. As far as i know, according to my insurance company, price i was not going to help me out even though it was a manufacture error.any information you could provide will be greatly appreciated.thank you
I purchased a used 2008 chrysler town and country touring edition with appx. 30,000 miles on it in late 2011.in may of 2012, i had an accident which only affected myself and the vehicle.while traveling approximately 45 mph the passenger rear wheel came off of the vehicle, causing the van to slam to the ground and me to perform emergency maneuvers to stop.the wheel, having had all five lug bolts sheared off, had bounced off of the vehicle doing considerable body damage.the brakes, axle, tire, et al had to be replaced.i chalked this up to coincidence, paid my deductible, and had over $3,000 worth of work done to repair the damage from the accident.this past sunday, august 24th, 2014, the exact same thing happened. I was traveling slower this time, about 25 mph, and when i heard the same wheel making noise i pulled off the road into a strip mall parking lot just in time to have the wheel come off again, this time doing damage to the rear quarter panel, the bumper, the axle, brakes, tire, et cetera.it also forced me to make another emergency stop, this time in the lot, where the right side of my vehicle was damaged by the handle of a commercial dumpster that stopped my skid.i reached out to chrysler because i cannot believe that the exact same thing to the exact same wheel would happen twice, and i now chalk it up to a parts failure on chrysler's end.i was at first told that they were not responsible and that nothing would be done on their end.the following day, i spoke with the chrysler dealership where the van was towed and was told by their head mechanic that the failure was due to the (factory) alloy rim.i again contacted chrysler with this new information and was told that my case was being moved up to a "specialist" and that i would have to wait 3-5 days before i heard from them.i no longer feel safe transporting my family in this vehicle.
When accelerating, my 2008 chrysler town and country sounds like a jet taking off. Took it to my dealer and he said that the wheel bearings are no good. Also toldme that there is a recall on wheel bearings for my model year but my van was produced three months after the recall date. How do i convince chrysler that this is a defect in my car as well and should be included in the recall? this is according to my local chrysler service manager.
Front end noise and vibration at highway speed.
I have a 2008 chrysler town & country van with just 22,000 miles on it and have been told i need new brakes and rotors. I have never had to replace brake pads at this low of mileage. I have heard from others that this is a problem with these vans due to the rotors and brake pads being to small. I feel that chrysler should be made to recall these vehicles and put adequate brakes on them.

This is the second occurrence. Tire was low - front right - pulled in to put air in and when unscrewing the valve cap, the stem broke off into my hand. The left rear wheel did the same thing 3 months ago. Luckily the stem did not fall apart while driving as the tire went immediately flat. Each time the cost was over 85 plus the call to aaa to assist. I saw that others were having the same issue. With only 60000 miles on the vehicle, the tire pressure monitor should not be failing. Was told this was not covered under warranty.
All valve stems became corroded and required replacement due to leaking and causing flat tires.
The contact owns a 2008 chrysler town & country. The contact stated that when he touched the rear driver side tire pressure monitoring system valve stem, it disintegrated due to corrosion and caused the tire to becomedeflated.

The approximate failure and current mileage was 98,000.
Went to add air to a tire, the tpms valve stem snapped off, tire lost all air very quickly. The tpms valve stems are all corroded and all are about to fail. If one fails while driving, a very serious accident could result. Decided to purchase a different style of tpms (schrader with a rubber stem, instead of the dangerous originals with their corroding pot metal stems) for all 4 wheels at considerable expense to ensure the safety of my family. From reading forums at e.g. Allpar, this is a common problem. Chrysler surely knows about these dangerous tpms's and should be proactive and at least warn users to check for corrosion, and preferably fix their problem.
Valve stems on tpms systems are not made of brass as on the past they are of a pot metal and they corrode under the cap when you try to inflate the tie the snap off causing an instant flat. I f this was to occur at speed it would have catastrophic results. There needs to be a recall before someone gets hurt or killed.
The contact owns a 2008 chrysler town and country. The contact stated that while stopped at a traffic light, the spare tire detached from underneath the vehicle. The contact inspected the vehicle and stated that the plastic harness, which held the spare tire in place, was fractured. The contact also stated that the method of removing the spare tire was very dangerous because the tire would have had to have been dragged out from underneath the front end of the vehicle, positioning oneself very close to oncoming traffic. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 79,000. The vin was unavailable.
Brakes and rotors had to be replaced at 18k miles. The garage who replaced it showed it to my husband and told him they were cheap parts. Two tires had to be replaced as well at the same mileage. Tires put on by chrysler are yokohama tires and are junk! i can also feel a movement under my drivers side car mat in the floor when i stop at a stop sign and make a left turn, something moves underneath as i am turning the steering wheel, i need to contact dealer for this to see what the problem is.
The valve stem on tires has broken 4 times in since vehicle purchased in 2008, causing the tires to immediately and suddenly deflate.twice when inflating tires with air, once shortly after going through a car wash and once inexplicably while the vehicle was in motion.the local chrysler service rep at my dealer continually tells me that replacing should prevent the problem from happening again, yet it happened 4 times.fortunately none of the incidents resulted in a crash or damage, but if the vehicle were moving at higher speeds this could be awful.i cannot believe there has been no recall on these defective parts.this is dangerous and unacceptable, and i feel my family is at risk when we are driving.
The contact owns a 2008 chrysler town and country. The contact stated that the rear passenger tire deflated and the stem disintegrated due to corrosion. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the valve stem needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure.

For the second time, the valve stem on my 2008 town and country broke.this time it resulted in a tire going flat while going about 15 miles an hour.fortunately we could get off the road and aaa came to put on the spare tire. We replaced the stem but will need an expensive sensor to be replaced.chrysler will not fix this part as part of the extended warranty. We are concerned that the next two stems could go and cause a very serious accident.
The tire pressure monitor alerted me to a tire with low pressure.this was the second time in two weeks that the sensor had alerted me to a low pressure situation with this tire.i took the vehicle to my independent mechanic who discovered a leaking tire valve due to corrosion.this is the second valve on this van that i have had a problem with.chrysler is not willing to do anything as far as warranty or defective part is concerned.their service writer's opinion was - "well, you do live in the northeast and we do get poor weather".this is a lousy excuse for a know problem to chrysler.this situation needs to be recalled before someone has a catastrophic valve failure at speed and is involved in a serious collision.i have since replaced the valve and tire monitor (thanks chrysler for your great design - $100 for a tire valve).
We was having problems with our headlights going out on our 2008 town and country van we took it to the dealership to have it looked at and they said it was the headlamp switch so we ordered one and went back up to replace it and they had the wrong switch so they had to order another on and we had to return to put the right headlamp switch in. That did not fix the problem, so we took it back to the dealership and they replaced the tipm module and returned the van we went on a family vacation just for the day and came home that evening when we figured out that they did not fix the problem. So once again we returned to the dealership and they gave us a loaner car if that's what you want to call it and they had it for several days and they replaced a censor that controls the headlights. I just got it back and not sure if they are fixed or not but they said that they are fixed. If it turns out that they are not fixed we will not return to the dealership to fix the headlights again we will find another dealership to take it to. I was not treated to best and i got none of my fuel replaced from the dealership after it took them this many times to fix it and they drove it around we gave them permission but out of the courtesy of the dealership they could of replaced my fuel considering the loaner car they gave me they said that i had to return it with the same amount of gas that i left the lot with. Now that doesn't seem fair to me does it you.
One tpms valve stem broke when i tried to add some air. Tire got flat instantly.
For second time in two years at 30,000 miles i had to replace my front brakes and grind rotors.on 6/29/2011 2008 chrysler t&c touring 3.8l went to wolbert auto body in pittsburgh, pa for brake warning squeelers and a tire rotation.upon paying for front brakes, machining of front rotors and rotating tires my mechanic indicated on my invoice that both front vave stems bad.took car to micks odge chrysler in robinson twp., pa on 7/7/2011 (note this was scheduled and it was made clear to chrysler that the two valve stems were corroded and cracked).car picked up from frank stifter where he indicated only one valve stem was bad.i asked that he show me what he saw and shared with frank that our mechanic warned and documented two front stems bad.he insisted only one and showed me.after leaving i went back to wolbert auto who specifically showed me that not only were the front two corroded and cracked (nut and valve) but that the back two were already corroding and could soon crack.same day 07/07/11 called chrysler and indicated they may want to replace all four and that it is a safety issue.later on 07/07/11 took two daughters to movies and tire fails on exit.patron took me to theater, 911 call made, tow requested, husband notified to resuce us.all in one day.thank goodness i was on a ramp and not 79 s at a much higher speed.my children were devistated.note also i told frank that i had concern for safety with three kids and played out a senario over the phone.within 90 min. Of our converstaion the scenario became a fearful reality.frank said i needed to contact chrysler and that it is not the job of micks job to do so.i feel that micks dodge is at fault for not being prepared to correct the problem for which it was scheduled in their maintenance dept. And chrysler responsible for the numerous complaints found all over the internet.something must be done to protect our t&c driving citizens.lives matter in the case of a very poor design!!!
Failure of 3 tpms valve stems.(tire pressure monitor sensor)tpms is mounted to the wheel with a aluminum valve stem and aluminum nut.the nuts and stems are corroding and the nut is cracking.the sensor and stem is held in place by air pressure in the tire but it begins leaking air after the nut cracks.tire leaks 1-2 psi per mile at 65mph.can not add air to tire because when you push on the valve stem it pushes into the rim.2008 chrysler town and country with 30 thousand miles.the tires on the van haven't even been replaced yet.valve stems on the sensors are bare aluminum with no corrosion protection.tpms appear to be made by siemens vdo and are not made by chrysler.stems need to made from a more corrosion resistant metal or need to be anodized.chrysler has repaired under warranty so far but valve stems/sensor don't last 3 years.
I purchased the vehicle in may of 2009. After 3 weeks i noticed noise that sounded like the brakes were bad. I had the vehicle checked on 6/2009, 8/2009, and 12/2009 was told they were fine. And that it was the type of material that is used. 1/27/2010 was told i need new brakes and rotors at 25432 miles. Called dealer/chrysler to find out about warrenty and was told that is not covered. I thought it had a bumper tp bumper warrenty till 36,000 miles. Dealer lied to me. It is going to cost $650.00 to fix it. I have done research and found out this is a common problem with the chrysler products. I also can not get the tire-pressure monitoring system to turn off. I was told the tires are fine.cn
I believe the tire pressure monitoring system components are badly constructed. I have just had my 2nd one bust while trying to put air in the tire. I am lucky that both times they broke i was at a place that could immediately put in a regular valve stem so that i could still use my car.....both times my tires deflated because the top where the air is put in broke completely off the stem.....made with aluminum????? why????now i am worried about the other ones left on my car to break......car is only 3 yrs old (2008 chrysler town n country)the 1st one that broke was just a few months before the 2nd one which prompted this complaint.......these need to be examined for a possible recall....they need to be made to last. I am in the process of trying to get chrysler zone to do something about this......i would hate to be driving and for one to break.....i foresee major lawsuits if this happens.
The contact owns a 2008 chrysler town & country. The contact stated that the tire pressure sensor fractured and as a result, the tire continued to go flat. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the problem who did not offer any assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 34,000 and the current mileage was 56,000.
I was putting air in rear passenger side tire, when valve broke in half.stem was corroded upon inspection.i also noticed that another stem had been replaced already (i bought the car used) and there was still two original stems that were also corroded and probably needed replacement asap.mechanic said it was pretty common with town and country vans.
The contact owns a 2008 chrysler town and country. The contact noticed that the valve cover cap on the front driver side tire was missing. In addition, the valve stem fractured from the tire and caused the air to remove from the tire rapidly. The contact had to place the spare tire on the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the valve assembly needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 80,000.
While starting to fill the front passenger tire with air, the valve stem portion of the tire monitoring system broke at a point where the tire deflated.luckily we were parked.the valve stem appears corroded.all chrysler vehicles with this type of valve stem should be recalled and a replacement (more durable) valve stem installed before the stem breaks off while driving resulting in a severe accident.
The contact owns a 2008 chrysler town & country. The contact stated that he touched the tire pressure monitoring system valve stem and the stem disintegrated due to corrosion, causing the tire to become deflated. The contact mentioned that three of the four tires were affected by the failure. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The technician verified the failure and stated that the sensor and valve needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but did not offer any assistance since the vehicle was not included in any recalls. The vehicle was repaired. The failure mileage was 35,000 and the current mileage was 50,000.updated 05/08/13*lj
The contact owns a 2008 chrysler town and country. The contact stated that the rear driver side tire pressure valve stem detached from the wheel, which caused the tire to deflate without warning. After the failure occurred, the tire pressure warning light illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed; however, the tire was repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vin and failure mileage were unknown.
While driving the rear right tire valve broke off and the tire immediately deflated, had my speed been greater or had other cars been near an accident would most likely have happened. While inspecting the valves on the other three tires one more fell offin my hand. We didn't internet search and this problem has happened to many other people. This issue needs to be addressed before somebody gets killed.
Valve stem broke apart while taking cap off to put air in the tire.
The valve stem broke off after we went to the dealership to have the tires tests. Tpms was set off by the first stem replacement we had two months earlier. We now have two replacement valves on our town & country. I don't even know if the replacement are from the same faulty supplier in china. But the stem are made of the same metal rather than brass. Please get a recall of these items. The manufacturer will do nothing until someone gets hurt and it does me no good to replace them if they continue to use the same faulty parts.
The contact owns a 2008 chrysler town and country. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 70 mph, the vehicle decelerated independently as the traction control light warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was repaired under nhtsa campaign number: 14v373000 (air bags, electrical system) however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 110,000.
The contact owns a 2008 chrysler town and country. While driving at 15 mph, the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was restarted and the traction control warning light illuminated. The failure recurred multiple times. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 65,000.
The contact owns a 2008 chrysler town and country. While driving at various speeds, the air bag warning and traction control indicators illuminated on the instrument panel.

The contact owns a 2008 chrysler town and country. The contact stated that the traction control warning lamp kept illuminating intermittently. The vehicle veered to the right and the power steering seized. The contact mentioned that excessive force was required to maneuver the vehicle. The vehicle was included in nhtsa campaign number: 11v139000 (electrical system). The dealer was notified of the failure and indicated that the part needed was not available to repair the failure. The contact constantly had to turn off and restart the vehicle to reset the computer. The vehicle was also included in nhtsa campaign number: 11v394000 (air bags). The manufacturer was not notified of the failures. The approximate failure mileage was 65,000.
I have a 2008 chrysler town & country minivan that is in mint condition. I brought my van to a dealership for a repair. There was also a recall for the driver side airbag. The issue is 14 people have been injured by the plastic emblem that has become loose and can become a projectile in the event of airbag deployment. The tech said the recall has them remove the emblem on the steering wheel and they don't replace it with anything. Most people decline it because they don't like the way it looks. I told him i did not want this recall performed on my car until chrysler has a better fix. Unfortunately, the tech forgot to take the work order for the recall off in the computer and they removed the emblem anyway. Also scratched the leather on the steering wheel when they were prying the emblem off. You can imagine my horror when i picked my car up and found that a decorative trim piece was ripped off. No replacement of any kind, just an open gape with holes where the emblem used to be on the steering wheel. Very noticeable!! this is unacceptable and i want to put it out there that chrysler lied in their press release on july 14, 2020. This is what they said...chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will replace the driver's air bag cover with a redesigned cover, free of charge.. At this time there is no fix! there is no redesigned cover!don"t have a recall if you don't have a fix for damage to your customers car! called chrysler and they still have no fix for this. What! way to stick it to your customers! they don't have any more lawsuits but leave the car owner with damage to their car. What if i wanted to sell my car? this devalues it! thanks chrysler!!i want to know if the ceo, mr. Manley, of chrysler would appreciate me going in his car and removing a decorative piece of trim or emblem with no regard for how it makes the car look?you know it would not be ok!
I was dring when i notice temperature gage going up i pull over to check and i begging to smell gas so i open the resoirver for cooling fluid in i some) a strong odor of gas i took to mechanic and they stated it is a possible leak in the head gasket
While i'm driving my vehicle home from work it will stall, taking the ability to steer away. Like it just shuts off right in the middle of driving. It usually happens when i am turning or going around a curve.
The automatic sliding door of my 2008 townand country chrysler mini van closed on the fingers of my 4 year old child while he was sitting, strapped into his booster seat. I did not realize until i opened the drivers side door and was then able to open the sliding door to release his fingers.
Stuck calipers and smoking rear wheels at approximately 2500 miles.complained to dealership which has taken several times to fix the problem. After new brakes and calipers again and bearings replaced, again this was done in november 2010 customer complained of rear noises as brakes sticking or some problem with bearings that were replaced.dealer found "no problem". 3/11/2011however the car is still making noises and concern for safety is the issue for the customer.also, the defroster do not always work and customer has to scrape the inside of the window to see out.dealer could not re-create.also when it rains or slush the underneath of the car bangs as if something is loose.customer asked dealership to check also on 3/11/2011 and still the same answer "could not re-create" and found nothing.customer asked to check brakes, bearings, converter and differential on 3/11/2011 for the 4th time and again nothing was found.car has had numerous problems from day one including the gear shift coming off in hand. Hot wheel syndrome in 2009 fixed but is back. Customer going on trip and wants this documented.
I was driving on the h-1 freeway in honolulu, friday afternoon about 1:20 and my 2008 chrysler town and country lost power actually the engine turned off.i was in a middle lane and traffic was not good.i almost caused a crash because i wasn't prepared for my power steering to go out just before a curve.thankfully, i was able to stop safely.i called a localdealer, and they could get to it eventually.
Check engine light came on. Mechanic did diagnostics to find the egr valve was not good (code p0404). From researching this issue, chrylser has been having problems with the egr valve.paid $375 to resolve this. This should be a recall item.
My minivan was involved in a recall announced in march of 2015 for ignition switch problems. I have called several dealerships in multiple states trying to get my minivan fixed and none of them have had the parts and no one can tell me when parts will be available to fix the problem. This is a recognized problem and part of a previously announced recall, but fiat chrysler automobiles has not provided recall parts to dealerships or updated anyone about the progress of the recall. It has been almost one year since the recall was announced with no progress on my vehicle.
For a couple of months, i have had trouble sometimes removing the key fob from the ignition after turning off the van. It doesn't occur all the time but is a concern when it does happen.we have changed the batteries in the key fobs and that helps for a while.i'm concerned that it will happen and i won't be able to remove the key.we've been able to remove the key after several minutes of trying different things.
Vehicle acted up for a couple of weeks, would start fine then i would turn it off, next time it would not start. Would wait a while and then it would start. Finally went to start and it would not at all. Had it towed and it took two days to have a new win module and two new fobs replaced charged $600.00 now i have to have them replaced again because of recall r03 that replaces l25. Chrysler says it is not the same problem so no reimbursement and have to replace again because they didn't have new win part last year, so i feel they basically charged me for a defective part but their investigation says it is not the same problem they are recalling but it is the exact same part. I really like my van but will not be purchasing another chrysler product, i was looking for a new vehicle when i received this recall, but since all of this apparently i do not matter to this company and i will be taking my business elsewhere.
Engine shut off when car was in motion because the fobik slipped into accessory mode on two different occasions.local chrysler dealership (cross motors louisville, ky) claims to be unable to get parts from chrysler corp.
After having the win module replaced due to recall the vehicle intermittently started having an issue. While driving we would loose power all gauges (rpm,mpg,fuel), start flashing all the dash lights, chiming, wipers would engage, and headlights start flashing. (all at the same time) this would randomly happen at all times day or night, in all types of weather (cold, warm, wet, dry) and at various speeds and various driving terrains(both city streets and highways). After driving at night and having headlights flashing off and on while everything lighting up and turning on and off (extremely dangerous) we left at dealership for over a week and also showed them a video that we took of the car going haywire. They however, could not diagnose problem. They said all they knew was that when this happens the vehicle is actually trying to shut itself off and that the computer was resetting itself to avoid the engine turning off. They could not tell us why this was happening or how to fix this.
I got in the van andit woul not start. I continued to turn the fobik until it started. I drove the van to chrysler dealer in collierville tennessee. They installed a win kit. I drove it home and had various electrical problems. The wipers and lights would come on automatically. I took the van back to the same daler. They replaced the tipm. I took it home aagain to discover the van to have the original problem along with the electrical problems. My van has been in the shop approximately 2 months for these problems. It is presently there now. I have spent a total of $1689.61 for these repairs. I am not getting any results.
I have been waiting for close to one year on my l25 recall to be fixed.the dealership has routinely told me that they don't have the parts in yet and that this has been a very chaotic and crazy process for them as well.now i just received a second recall on r03.i'm concerned because of the safety dangers:engine shut off and potential death!!!! i've been "rolling the dice" long enough and want this recall notice taken care of.your company should want this taken care immediately as well to avoid pending litigation and lawsuits should something happen to your customers in the event that a recall isn't fixed in a timely matter.i need both my key fobs replaced immediately.i'm tired of waiting and worried about the potential outcome.
I have received (3) individual recall notices, going back to around 2014-15 concerning an "important safety recall" concerning "wireless ignition node module defects.i immediately contacted the local dealership i purchased the car from, friendship chrysler in bristol, tn, and was told i would be placed on a waiting list.today's date is january 23, 2016, i have since received two additional notices, but have only been told by the dealership that the part is not in and i am on a waiting list.this is a major safety issue involving a van that is typically purchased to "safely" transport families.i think the delay is insane.please tell me what the holdup is?
While driving along at approximately 45 mph on highway 158 in north carolina, the tire pressure warning light came on.by the time the van could be safely pulled over to the side of the road and stopped, the left front tire was almost completely flat.the spare tire was installed and when the failed tire was laid on it's side the valve stem/tpm sensor fell inside the tire.the next day the van was taken to the nearest chrysler dealer for repair.the dealer stated that the retaining nut that holds the sensor in place must have cracked and allowed the air to escape from the tire.the mechanic said that he has seen many of these failures where the aluminum retaining nut cracks.he inspected the other three sensors and recommended that they be replaced before they also fail.the dealer did not have the necessary part to install a new sensor and would have to order it.because we were on vacation at the time and could not wait the time to get the part, the dealer installed a standard valve stem to get us home.he advised us that the warning light would remain on constantly until a proper sensor was installed.the dealer also advised us to get the proper sensor as soon as we returned home.this failure is a serious safety issue.we were fortunate that we were not traveling at interstate speeds or the outcome could have resulted in an accident.chrysler should be required to recall these sensors before someone is seriously injured.
When i try to turn off the ignition, it will will not go all the way to off. The key will not come out.
Vehicle was stationary and parked for hours in the driveway.for no reason the alarm went off on my car. Found key fob to shut off alarm. Daughter went to see what happened, then came to tell me there was smoke coming from my rear passenger sliding door. Went outside and heard noise that door was trying to open. Used key fob to try to unlock door. Tried to manually open door. Door wouldn't open and smoke continued. Didn't know if fire was inside door and was parked by garage so called 911 to put out potential fire. Concerned that there was electrical problem so continued to park car in street not close to house. Called chrysler customer service and they said they would send an investigator due to concern of fire. Dealer said problem was due to a broken door latch and mechanical assembly mechanism needed to be replaced in addition to door handle for $1200, but didn't want to get work done until i got the information from the investigation. About 3 weeks later got a letter from chrysler special investigations. They said due to the age and mileage of my vehicle, there are a number of factors outside the manufacturer's control that could have been contributed to your incident.*dtupdated 10/30/18
Air conditioner high pressure hose failed due to manufacturer error ( hose too short). Chrysler satisfaction bulletin k04 should be applicable. Please see attached supporting memo to fca customer service who claim k04 is not applicable.
A/c refrigerant leaking into the cabin vent
Out of the blue, my passenger rear sliding door on my 2008 minivan stopped responding to my key fob and the overhead button to open or close.there have been times it's been stuck in the locked position making my children either going out the other door and even climbing over to the front seat to get out. It is available for inspection upon request and as i have never taken it in to get looked at, the problem has not been reproduced or confirmed. It has not been inspected by anyone. Prior to this failing, there were no warning lamps or messages given off by the vehicle.
I received a recall september 2014 for the wireless ignition node module (l25).i took my vehicle in to dealership to see if i had the problem.i did need a replacement.the dealership said they would order the part and contact me in about 2 weeks to repair.4 weeks later i stopped into the dealership to check on part.they were extremely rude and said the part wasn't in yet.i waited another 4 weeks and still no part.i am in receipt of another recall notice for the same recall that the dealership hasn't fixed since last september!!!!!
Wife stated that she went to her car to leave from work and once she got close to the vehicle the horn began blaring non stop, wipers running, fluid spurting out, dash lights going on and off and door locks going up and down.i arrived and removed the battery cable and it stopped.i replaced the cable a short time later and was able to start the vehicle and i started driving it home and as i got up to about 30 mph it did it again and this time the car cut off and i lost steering and brakes but was able to come to a stop on the side of the busy street i was on.i removed the key from the ignition and got out of the vehicle at which point i noticed that the car had cut back on and was actually running without the key in the ignition.i drove it home without further incident.at 3 am the same night we were awakened by the vehicles horn blaring in the driveway.i went outside and it was doing the same thing that my wife originally stated but the car was actually running without a key being anywhere near it - we do not have the remote start installed on the vehicle. My wife and i refuse to drive it due to the fact that if the above problems happen at 70 mph we would probably be dead.
I have had several problems with the 2008 chrysler minivan. Electrical, engine, ignition, etc. I even had the one door not have the sensor go off and pinch my one twins leg into the door! over the years, the ignition switch pops over and stops the car completely while driving at intermittent times. I could be going 20 miles an hour or on the highway driving at a higher rate of speed. The whole van shuts down so if you are on the highway, you can barely steer to get over (and thankfully i have been able to do so). I received a recall notice in june. It is november and my van still isn't fixed. The dealership and chrysler know that i am having the issue and have had it. I have called and voiced my complaints. I am "number 5" in line to get the part! so, what will chrysler do when i get rear ended or injured when my vehicle fails to operate. The van shuts off at least once a week while i am driving it. If i didn't have full, lifetime warranty, this van would have been traded in the year after i purchased it. It has been nothing but problems since i have owned it. Chrysler is not doing its job to keep people safe. They have not taken my issue seriously and brush it off as not a big deal. I have a van because i have kids. I would think that safety would be of utmost importance but it falls on deaf ears.
I have received numerous recall notices and none have ever been resolved due to "parts not available" or "parts on back order"this has been going on since the first airbag issue on the passenger side recall.why won't chrysler fix my car?
Recall repair.went to the dealer with a 9:30 appt, after waiting 2 1/2 hours in the lobby, i checked on the status of my vehicle.i was told that nothing had been done yet, and it would cost me to have the remote starter disconnected in order to do the repair. When i originally purchased the van there was no mention of a remote starter in the description, no "fobs" came with it and i didn't add one.i am told that over 60% of the vehicles in the recall have remote starters.and if they are all in the same boat as i am, they will have to fork out cash to have a "free" recall completed.i believe chrysler should have, at the very least, noted the additional consumer cost in the the recall letter if they were not going to cover it.however, i do not see how they are not responsible for the full cost.obviously i want safety for my family so i paid the cost to have this repair completed.however, as a single mom, an unexpected $130 out of my budget is a large chunk and i am not happy with chrysler for causing me a hardship for their mistake.i am quite sure i am not the only customer who feels this way, especially those who may have to decide between safety and day-to-day living expenses like shelter, food, etc.considering this is the 3rd recall for my vehicle, and with the way this one was handled, i don't feel that i want to be a future customer.i wonder how many other customers will not be returning!
I wrote a few weeks ago about the doors on my 2008 town & country that the opened on there own and then would not always respond to the remote.chrysler has updated the computer in my van.recently i had more problems of the doors not responding so the van went back to the dealership for that and a new radio with wiring from the radio to the antenna, had to have the seats on the middle row reupholstered and because of heat coming out from under the dashboard.which is the other reason i am writing.they can not find the problem and it is not all the time but there is a tremendous amount of heat that comes out.because of this problem with the heat coming out and still a problem with the doors i feel that my chrysler town & country is really unsafe.
I received recall notice r03/nhtsa 14v-373 - wireless ignition node module several months ago.i have continued to call for repair and there is never a part available.jake sweeney has not made a list of customers to call for the repair, it is a first-come, first serve basis, so if i don't call on the exact day received i will not get the repair.
I am having issues with my 2008 chrysler town and country van. I recently had the dealership work on some recalls for this model. At that time, it wasn't showing any problems. Only after the recalls were addressed did the trouble begin. Now, it sporadically will not recognize either key fob. Wait a while and try to crank it and it starts back up.today, 100 miles from home with 4 small children as passengers, it decided to have a fit at the gas pump and not start. Called road side assistance and waited for them to arrive just in time for van to decide it wanted to crank again. Cranked it up and tried to park it at a friends house close by. Detected what seemed like surges with the fuel pump while trying to get there. Finally got to a stopping point and turned the key off and the van kept running. The wipers went crazy and the horn started blowing all by itself. Is this vehicle possessed by the devil or what? itis not safe to drive and i have no other choice but to tow it back to the dealership. I don't know if anyone else has the same problem but i say this vehicle is unsafe! if there isnt a recall already issued, there certainly needs to be one.
Car dashboard lights won't come on but the milage dose car won't start and it has two recall that was fixed i rent the car from carmart and they said i will need a new key fobik and it's gonna coast me 250 i only received one super glued key fobik i thought the battery was dead are something tried to take it apart and add new one only to see it was super glued shut and broke on the inside i had just done a oil was at autozone when it happened had to have it towed home
Owner of a 2008 chrysler town & country touring mini van.presently vehicle has just under 25,000 miles and brakes are completely shot and squealing.not sure that i should continue to drive in this condition.expected repair costs are around $300-400.service center is telling me that many chrysler t&c vans are experiencing same problem.rotors are undersized for vehicle and experience premature wear and failure.
This is now the fourth time the rear shocks have failed.
My vehicle is shutting off while i am driving.normally it is when i am coasting between 20 to 30 mph.the light and everything stay on but the steering and brakes no longer work. It has been happening for 2 years but now more frequently.
I have an oil burning problem. I have no leaks but my van is burning oil way before 3000 miles. Down below when it ask for a date. I enter the time i purchased the van. It's not the exact date but around that date. I was online researching and i found out that a lot of people are having the same problem.
Recalls k14, k04, k15received three recalls on this vehicle indicating approx. 3.5 hours to repair.chrysler dealership told me i may loose my car for two days.i can't afford to be without a car for two days so i asked about a replacement vehicle.i was informed i would only get a replacement vehicle if i had a service contract.first there is total disconnect between what chrysler is saying on the time to repair these defects 3 1/2 hours to 2 days quoted by the dealer.second i should not be treated differently on being provided a replacement vehicle under a safety recall.
On 3/7/16, 3 days following the recall repair for the win module we had done on 3/4/16, after starting the car and beginning to drive in my church parking lot, all of the dash lights lit up, the car started chiming as if i didn't have my seatbelt on, the wipers engaged, and the mph and rpm gauges dropped to zero. It continually repeated. I attempted to pull into a parking space, turn off and removed key from ignition. Restarted car, and problem persisted. I repeated this again with the problem still persisting. I pulled into a gas station, turned car off, removed key, and exited vehicle. When i restarted the car the problem had stopped. Two days later on 3/8/16 i started my car for work and as soon as i put the car in reverse the same problem started. Shut the car off, removed key, and restarted... Still occurring. Shut the car off, removed key, exited vehicle, restarted, still occurring... I proceeded to drive down the road after exiting my driveway and took a video of this problem repeating continually until a mile down the road, i pulled over into an empty parking lot, shut the car off, removed key, opened and shut the door, and let it sit for 3-5 minutes before restarting, and the problem no longer occurred. My husband called the dealership, greenwood auto in cortland, oh to tell them what was happening, and all they said that it wasn't from them repairing the win module. I find this extremely unsafe, and hard to believe this is just a coincidence as this has never happened before prior to having the recall repair done. I do not have pictures but i do have a video. Chrysler customer service now says i have to pay a chrysler dealership for a diagnosis of this new problem, how convenient that is.
My problem is involving a safety recall l25/nhtsa 14v-373. I received a safety recall notice well over 1 1/2 years ago. I made repeated calls to my dealer and was told every time that there were no parts available. About 6 weeks ago i received another safety recall notice ro3/nhtsa 14v-373. Again, no parts available. Every time i call i'm instructed to call back in two weeks. Although i have been told that the second recall replaces the first, that recall notice states that the records indicate that your vehicle also requires repair for notification l25. I bought this mini van for only reason - to transport my grandchildren. It is extremely important to me that this safety recall be completed.
For the last five years we have been dealing with a mysterious electrical issue.there are hundreds of complaints online of the same issue.the van will be fine and you get in to start it and when turning the key it will not start.full charge, full battery. Starter is fine - everything checks out fine.with a jump it will usually start.sometimes it will start on it's own if you wait a little while.people on boards have stated replacing dozens of things - to then have the same issue a couple days later.we are use to having to jump our vehicle about 1 out of 20 times.we have taken it to multiple mechanics and had multiple things checked and replaced. An example of a board with many others experiencing the same thing can be found here:https://forums.edmunds.com/discussion/12634/chrysler/town-and-country/2008-t-c-ignition-switch-problem/p1in addition - sometimes you will be driving and everything starts going off (wipers, lights, flashers, horn, entire dash lights up, etc - no resolve).this can happen while stationary or driving.
2008 chrysler town and country sutting off instantly, numerious times at 20 to 30 mpr while driving on city streets, 40 to 50 mph on service streets, at speed, starting to slow, and or attempting a left or right turn. This is an intermittent problem. Dealer has had van 3 weeks, said they drove twice to simulate and could not repeate. Extreamly dangeriou s, almost rear-ended more than once.
I made an appointment for the recall to be fixed. The dealer called me the night before and said the part was used for another customer.i made the second appointment for june 26, 2015. The dealer called the day before and confirmed.i got to the dealer at 8:10am.at 9:15am a sales associate came out and told me that the part was not there.i wasted my time and am very disappointed!! i do not have anything positive to say about chrysler.their customer service is the worst i have ever had to deal with as a consumer.this is one week later and not even the manager has called me.i will never ever purchase with chrysler again!!
Vehicle shuts off while in motion on city streets going between 20 - 30 mph. The recall (r03) for this problem has been done and the shut-offs still happen. Unknown fault or problem. Several diagnostics done over the past 4 years, all to no avail. Help us!!!
I have had my van for a little over 3 years and have already had to replace the front brakes on it twice and the rear brakes once.both times the rotors and brake pads had to be replaced. I have had to replace all 4 tires as well, and that was only at a little over 40,000 miles. I have had to replace the battery, and i am now fixing the a/c & heating system for the third time.and every time i check the mail i receive another recall notice!and all the issues "could cause a fire".in addition, my rear automatic doors do not always close, i have to manually close them or they come back open. I have been paged out of a store for my back doors being open, after i watched them begin to close.i also have problems with the radio freezing.
Took my town and country in for the ignition switch recall and after they replaced the ignition switch the 2 key self programing does no work any more,, called chrysler and they said you must take it to the dealer for key programing, i asked them how cane you do a recall and take out something that it says it will do in the manual,, the said i was out of luck,, need to pay the dealer to program and keys i have.
Problem is the tire valve stems on the tire pressure monitoring system broke off. This occurred without warning after a 20 mile drive and had been setting in a parking lot for 10 min. The end of the valve stem just blew off.good thingwe were not going down the road at 70 mph. I saw on the internet hundreds of these have been occurring. This could cause loss of control and safety from being stranded or worse. These need to be recalled and replaced with ones that do not corrode. I put new tires on this vehicle a couple of months ago to be safe and now i can not trust a simple valve stem !!!!!!!!!
Replacing brake pads, rotors and calipers every 3,000 miles. The brake pads no matter what brand or what they are made of go metal to metal by 3500 miles of driving. We have also replaced master cylinder and both hub bearings. Bought the vehicle used 2 years ago and have had nothing but front end problems.
I received notice of the wireless ignition node june 2015, have went to my dealer then and august 2015, they say they do not have the part to fix it but when it comes in they will call. Now i receive another letter from fca about this issue--give the dealer the part and i could get my van fixed!!!!!!!!!!!!!
While driving van will turn off and have to pull off the side off the rosd and turn the ignition off then restart the van. Possible collision with no power to anything
Front blower fan cuts on and off. Had blower fan, head control unit, and blower fan resistor changed yet still doesn't work. Front blower fan should be wired like rear blower fan and not go through tipm
My battery light, abs, traction lights come on and i lose my a/c when it feels like 110 out
Car started smoking on near drivers side with an awful smell.was able to drive to a dealer who determined that the rear heater hose assembly needed to be replace.from what i can determine from researching that chrysler knows the "y" plastic part is faulty and does not sell just the "y" part of the unit.consumers are forced into buying a heater hose and line assembly for $115. Labor and parts cost $290.00; then of course, the rest of the hoses need to be replaced for another $430 for a total of $660.00.this plastic piece is faulty and could cause terrible damage.
While driving my car it stalls and shuts off. It was supposibly recalled and replaced in 2015
I own a 2008 chrysler town and country. I received notification (at least a year ago if not longer) of l25/nhtsa 14v-373. However, the part to do the repair was unavailable every time i contacted the dealership. I believe the manufacturer has exceeded a reasonable amount of time for this recall repair.my vehicle has experienced a failure at least five times. The first failure mileage was 20,000. Yesterday, i received r03/nhtsa 14v-373.i again called the dealership regarding both notifications and was again told that they do not have the parts.i asked when they would receive the parts and was told they don't know.i asked how i would know when they were available and the dealership told me that i could get on a list of about 300 they had to call and they would get to me when they could or i could just keep calling back.
I would like to submit a complaint against chrysler for their slow response to the l25 fobik recall.we received notification about the recall last year, but have been told by two dealerships on 4 occasions that the fix hasn't been manufactured as yet.we have responded to the dealerships that we are currently having difficulty with the fob, as it often will not release from the ignition when the car is shut off.we were told that we could pay for an "old part ignition" and then when the new part is created we can be reimbursed.that doesn't seem like a good remedy-replace a defective part with another defective part!chrysler's customer service line is worse than slow-it is non existent.i attempted to call chrysler's customer assistance line, but after remaining on hold for over 30 minutes, i hung up.i am fearful to drive the vehicle.i am uncomfortable with trying to sell it while under this particular recall.
Takata recall windshield wiper come on and want go off turn single stop working lights wont briten when i turn key it just keep turning on it own air work when it want to brakes changed and still make nose and axle make a clucking sound this is going while i am driveing on city street and main high way
The rear lift gate on my mini-van opened fullythen came crashing down. It missed my head but hit my shoulder. It could have caused severe injury to an adult or small child. The lift gate now will open fully then come crashing down because of the defective part.
1. Safety defect in the wireless ignition module (ignition) in 2008 town & country (touring model).vehicle will run but most electrical components will not work, including turn signals, windows, remote mirrors, lights, horn seat, door locks, window locks, clock, ac radio and wipers. The result of the defect includes inability to safely operate the vehicle once in motion.driver is not necessarily aware of the problem until they go to use the horn, lights, or turn signal. Chrysler denied the existence of the problem until i made them come to my home during an episode.2. Defective fuel pump.vehicle idles extremely high and the entire vehicle vibrates violently.chrysler replaced the fuel pump yet the safety defect continues.chrysler denied rearing or feeling the vibration until a chrysler factory rep was called to thomasville in response to a state of georgia office of consumer affairs lemon law claim. Chrysler replace the pump yet the safety defect continues.3.severe grinding/scraping noise coming from the rear tenter of the vehicle.to-date, chrysler denies the noise and has not repaired the problem.i fee the issue os one of a possible fire hazard due to its proximity to the fuel system and unknown defect in the fuel pump.
The key phobe gets stuck in the ignition and wont turn all the way off and today i put the key in and the ignition would not turn.this is an ongoing issue that has resulted in me being stranded until the igniton decides to work.
You hear a ding, then all warning lights come on, wipers come on, radio quits, locks quits working, windows don''t work, nothing electrical works! it all started after ignition switch recall was done, we have had it the shop multiple times, and they cannot figure it out, we changed out the tipm module, and it did not work either, they are not sure what the problem is, we have put lots of money in it, and still have the same problem...there is 5 other people her in wyandotte that is having the same problems...i have a handicap daughter that depends on my van, it does this all the time, and its dangerous for her...please help us figure this out,,i love our van, but scared of it too..we have had it in overland park jeep...thanks for your time, and i hope you can help us figure out whats going on...thank you
I received a recall notice about the wireless ignition node (win) and problem with the fobik. I have contact local dealers and they do not have the part and it is on back-order and unknown when it will be in. This has been the case for several months and this is a very dangerous situation and leaving us with little options.
Driving the car in regular, dry, daylight, conditions in traffic at 35mph... Engine stops, no power brakes, no power steering, no warning lights displayed, electrical system seems operational (radio is on).car is very hard to control with the loss of power steering/breaking and the engine can't be restarted unless the car is in park, so i have to pull over.this has happened 5 times in the past 12 months, randomly.i have taken it to the dealership twice to have this repaired, and they say they have never heard anything like it.i just did a google search and there is a recall on 2010 model year for a problem with the exact same description!!!
The vehicle was running in the highway.check engine light goes on an the all panel lights began to flash make like a whisle noise and shut off.after a while it starts again but in about 2,000 meters do the same four times.we need to call a truck crane.i have read a lot of person with this issue, spent a lot of money replacing various pieces and remain with the same problem.
I bought a brand new 2008 town and country in dec. 2007. For four years it didn't have a problem except for the whirring sound. This problem of tipm probably appeared about two years ago when the van suddenly overheated along the freeway while driving just about 12 miles from my home. The service center said that there was a leaking hose in the cooling system but i told them that prior to that the wiper just started to move without turning it on. The service center apparently fixed it. But the same thing has been happening on and off. All the service center can say is it is drivable. About two months ago it overheated again, and my wife who was using the car had it towed to the chrysler service center close to where the car stalled. That is the carpros in renton, washington, who said that the problem again was the coolant system hose that was leaking, also something about the timing belt that needed to be changed, the cylinder head gasket that needed to be changed. While i have an extended warranty they were charging too much so i had it towed to the service center where i bought the car. This service center fixed the cylinder head, got the car back but still it has the same problem of windshield turning on, lights going on and off in the instrument panel, dinging sound going on and off even while driving, driver seat rocking back and forth. I sent it back to the service center where i bought it from and this time they finally said that it is the tipm that is causing the problem. They told me that the electronic board was changed totally and was reprogrammed. But the following day, it still has the same problem.
The tire valves just give out. The first time i was putting air in and the valve broke and left the air out. Yesterday i was cleaning the vehicle and the valve just broke upon being touched with a brush and the air gushed out the tire.i have replaced these valvesthree to four times.under warranty at first.the cost of $67.00 is almost the cost of a tire.for safety reasons they will only place the valves in that are monitored.i've never had a valve break on regular valves, i can imagine if riding on the highway with my grandchildren and this valve would have been hit by any debris it would have caused a blow out and me losing control of the car and possibly wrecking.just to monitor air pressure seems more important than maintaining the air in the tire, what is more of a safety factor, knowing whether your tire needs air or losing all the air in the tire when the valve gives way.
When driving in a parking lot of a grocery store, my van's cluster board started going haywire, illuminating all warning lights, turning wiper blades on without them being on, opening windows. Turned van off and waited a few minutes and everything was back to normal. Next day it did it again when driving down the road at 55 mph.took it to the mechanic and it did it for him. He believes it has to do with the wiring in sliding door, which does have a recall but not for my particular van. If my 2008 town and country could also catch fire at the wiring harness, it needs to be included in the recall. Either way, it is extremely unsafe to be driving at 55 mph and have everything start to go haywire in your car. I'm afraid to drive it. This problem absolutely needs to be looked into and at the least, give the consumers a reason for it and a repair solution that doesn't cost them thousands of dollars to try and troubleshoot.
I received a recall notice from chrysler last fall.the nhtsa website dated the recall 6/16/11 and then it was expanded 6/26/14 to include my vehicle with letters being sent to owners 9/11/14.as of today, the problem has not been fixed by chrysler.i have called them twice and been on hold for over 30 minutes each time and not spoken to anyone!chrysler has definitely failed to remedy this in a reasonable amount of time.i had an incident yesterday in which my fobik moved to the accessory mode and the engine shut off while i was traveling 67 mph and in moderate traffic.this was very dangerous and gave me quite a scare.i am grateful my three children were not with me. I have followed chrysler's precautions to ensure my safety, but the incident happened anyway.chrysler needs to get the defect fixed immediately and in the future maintain better contact with vehicle owners about the status of recalls.
I was driving with the air conditioning on & suddenly stinky smoke started coming out of the vents. I turned the air off & then back on & it felt like it was blowing heat & the hole dash started feeling extremely hot then i could see fire coming up through the air vents. I pulled over called 911 but they arrived to late & my van was a total loss.
My van stop when i put break while stop any signal, sensor shows that passenger seat is unbelted, ignition key and that system giving me hard time to turn on/off, and also doesnā€™t work properly. D
The keys system would not lock/unlock the car consistently. Manual operation of unlocking/locking the car was the work around. Subsequently the ignition or wireless remote system has gone bad which now affects the igntion displaying a "bad key" and solution is to replace the entire wireless remote system.the wireless remote system controls the ignition, the doors, the engine.
While driving down the interstate at speed the warning indicator sounded and all the gauges zeroed out and the van temporarily lost power this has happened on three occasions it only last a second and the van seems normal afterwards.not sure if its a computer glitch or something else.
I received two safety recalls, l25 / nhtsa14v-373 and r03 / nhtsa 14v-373.i have called bob brady auto mall several times, and i am still waiting for the parts.for safety recall r03 / nhtsa 14v-373, i called on 06/29/2015.they said they must order the parts and will call me when the parts come in.i have checked several times to see if the parts are in.i checked on 07/22/2015, and there are still no parts.as far as l25 / nhtsa 14v-373 is concerned, i never heard back from bob brady auto mall on this issue.
When you shut the vehicle off the keys cannot be removed from the ignition.when this happens you have to start the vehicle up, put it into drive and then put it into park again and shut if off.sometimes you have to do that a couple of times to be able to remove the keys from the ignition
Transmission keeps on slipping
I called two different local dealers to perform repairs for recall r03 & l25. After 3 months, these repairs have still not been completed. When i call to get an update, or an estimated wait time, i'm told that it will get done when it gets done. It seems to me that these dealers have no intention of completing these repairs.
The car didnt start. I have had the starter abd battery replced within the past year. Each have been tested multiple time because this isnt and isolated incident. I go to turn the car on i have hed the fobik replaced but the problem still exists. The car eventually started after an hour.
My van has a failing tipm and apparently this is a common thing with these vans. It causes the horn to sound, wipers to start even when the vehicle is parked with no one in it and the engine off. It also causes the vehicle to shut off the fuel pump causing the vehicle to shut off while driving. Chrysler is well aware of this and refuses to issue a recall, even though this is something that happens to many of their 2008 vehicles.
I have called gandred in green bay, wi several times since last summer regarding the wireless ignition node module recall.they are claiming that parts are ordered but have never been sent.if this is a recall should't the parts be available and the problem fixed?
Wireless ignition node modulei contacted my dealer several months ago about this recall and they continue to ignore requests.
The vehicle continues to shut down unexpectedly while driving. I must drive in the slow lane on the highway so that i can pull over every time this happens and restart the car. I was driving app. 65 mph when i heard the dreaded click and saw that the key again turned to the off position. The safety of my children and myself is being compromised on a daily basis as i have no other choice than to drive this vehicle as it is not paid off. Chrysler is noncompliant and rude when i contact them monthly to ask about the recall.i currently have no other keys or key chains on the vehicle because i was advised by chrysler not to. They continue to tell me that the part has not yet been made (i was sent a recall notice last summer).
Takata recall im not sure if it has to do with other service recalls that were performed earlier or what. Every since i had the recalls fixed ive had trouble with my lights flashing, lights on dash flash on and off, cant roll up or down windows, air or heat doesnt work when this happens, its like it just goes crazy. It does it more driving, but does it sitting still as well. Not sure of an exact date when all this started but it just continues to get worse and i had to stop driving it. Not sure if its electrical, computer, or what.i do have video of it...
While using the oem vehicle jack to remove a flat tire.the jack slipped away from the vehicle twice and the vehicle fell to the ground.i checked the position location and configuration of placement of jack against the owner's manual and was properly used.another quality process and part from chrysler.
Starting in dec. 2014 my vehicle would not start, it just clicked and clicked but would not start. The dealer said the wire harness needed replaced but they only spliced the cable and replaced the battery terminals which did not fix the problem and later both cables spliced melted. The starter had to be replaced but still had the starting problem, start sometimes or would click,click, click however many times until it started. It has been into the dealer 4 times and still going back again after replacing the ignition switch and finally putting in a new harness august 17, 2015, had it back one day and 35 clicks later it started; will be taking back to the dealer next week to continue searching for why it keeps doing this. I fear that it will just turn off and stop in the street again as it did aug. 5, 2015, that was so scary! i have seen forums online that has person after person complaining of the same problem. That is why i decided to write a compliant here. Before all of this at the dealer it would not start so put in a new battery but it did not fix the problem. Intermittent problems make it so hard to know when it will happen or not.
Rear air conter
I received a recall notice for my 2008 chrysler town and country back in may of 2015.the recall number is r03 and has to do with the wireless ignition node module.i have been on a "waiting list" with my local chrysler dealership in titusville fl for months and every time i call i am still "number 6 on the waiting list".i am concerned for the safety of myself and my family.it is not logical that the dealership has receive zero parts for this important recall in all these months.please assist.
I received a recall notice on my van. Called the local dealer & was told parts were on backorder. The dealer stated i would receive another form from chrysler when parts were available.i waited several months & called the 800 hotline; recording stated parts were still on backorder.it has now been a couple months & no word. Are parts still on backorder? what's taking so long?thank you for your time in dealing with this matter.[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
While in motion the car will just turn off,steering wheel locked and i could not steer. It has turned off on me while driving on the highway with my children. It will start back up but can not go longer than a mile before it does it again.
I've been driving along about 60 and needed to accelerate quickly and floored it to pass, the accelerator has stuck and i've had to use my brakes to get it unstuck.this has happened twice this month.
No initial sign were noticed, the failure occurred once and it left the vehicle disablednothing at this time has been repaired the issue is the electronic throttle control.
In my 2008 chrysler town and country which now has about 70,000 miles on it i have changed the front brakes and rotors 6 diffrent times.when going down a hill and braking the steering wheel shakes so bad and i dont feel like i have a full pedal.have taken back several times to ask about the problem and all i get is a run around from a chrsler garage.
Our 2008 town & country touring has begun shutting down while moving without warning.it has happened six times in 3 months at both lower speeds, and once going 60+ mph on a busy interstate.when it loses power, we lose steering and breaking power making it very difficult to control the vehicle.this is a very dangerous situation, particularly for a car normally filled with children.it also occasionally will stall every time you start it.ours will throw no codes and no warning lights come on, so no one has been able to find the problem.the dealership claims no knowledge.this problem is discussed on multiple forums and going back only one year there are at least 7 other complaints of the same issue (odi id numbers: 10453837, 10452564, 10450629, 10441113, 10438800, 10428568 & 10422766) and many more dating past that.i know you all are probably very busy reviewing complaints, but chrysler and nhtsa should not be waiting for some one to get in a serious accident before figuring this out becomes a priority.
This car has been nothing but problems since the moment i bought it.it is so aggravating that chrysler won't own up to the issues with these cars.aside from the multiple recalls this car has had in three years, the break system is awful.i had replaced the front breaks and rotors around 28000 miles (maybe earlier i can't remember).now the back breaks are shot and once again, i will need breaks and rotors that will cost me $375 according to the dealer.my car has 38,000 miles on it. I have owned mini vans in the past and many cars and never have i had to replace both front and rear break pads/rotors this soon. My tires are so bald that all four need replacing. Again, i have never had to replace tires this soon on any of my vehicles over the years. The radio sometimes will not come on or will go black. The factory battery needed replacing at 30,000 miles which was extremely unusual as well.the side doors need to manually be closed when exiting vehicle because if i use the automatic switch, they bounce back. I have come out of stores with my doors wide open.when using the cruise control on the highway, the car with suddenly accelerate with rpms going into the red zone. Only way to stop it is to turn off cruise control. This morning on my way to work pulling out of my neighborhood i heard a grinding sound as the car began breaking on its own. Meanwhile the ebs and abs lights came on.i pulled over, shut off the car and turned it back on. Drove up the road and lights are still on. This car is junk all around.i have only had it for three years, still have a car payment. Ridiculous.i may just lease next time. That way chrysler can pay for repairs.
The contact owns a 2008 chrysler town and country. While driving 55 mph, the vehicle inadvertently surged. As a result the vehicle stalled and completely shut off. The vehicle was towed to porterville chrysler jeep dodge (777 olive ave, porterville, ca 93257, (559) 784-9512) where the contact was informed that the win module needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 86,000.
We're following up on our vehicle invoice and receipts sent to chrysler customer assistance, p.o box 21-8007 auburn hills, mi 48321-8007.it has been over 3 months and we still haven't received the proper reimbursement for the recall. We should have received our payment within 60 days as documented in the recall notification. The recall # is l25/ nhtsa 14v-373 due to the frequency operated button ignition key which would cause the engine to shut off. Please contact us with the status or update to this recall.
The contact owned a 2008 chrysler town and country. The contact stated that the vehicle had a strong hesitation. The check engine warning light randomly illuminated and the vehicle stalled numerous times. The vehicle was taken to a mechanic twice who replaced the egr valve and vacuum line. The dealer also completed a manufacturer recall repair for the ignition switch; however, the vehicle continued to hesitate. While driving less than 15 mph, the vehicle independently surged forward at a high rate of speed and crashed into the rear of another vehicle. The contact sustained a whiplash. A police report was filed. The air bags did not deploy. The vehicle was destroyed. The approximate failure mileage was 75,000.
For the past several months the car will not start and takes several tries to successfully start the car. It hesitates at around 35 mph and tries to stall.i have been waiting for chrysler to follow up with a second (l-25) recall notice. Yesterday, 12/14/14 while going around a round-about it died completely and i lost power steering, and all power to the car.i was able to restart the car and return it home.this is my main form of transportation, used to take the kids to school and activities. I was told by the dealer today they have been advised not to touch it by chrysler and told to contact chrysler. The representative at chrysler said i needed to take it up with the dealer as it is not a matter of having a part, but thatchrysler does not have a solution. This is very concerning, as it poses a serious safety to concern to me, my kids, and other drivers. Please let me know what recourse i have in getting chrysler to complete the full repairto my satisfaction.**the mopar website says parts are available. It would seem a huge liability that chrysler would not make driver and passenger safety priority.
I was driving to the store at approx. 40 mph when all of a sudden i noticed my dashboard and my fuel gage went down , my speed dropped i didn't know what was happening .my car was slowing down but since i was going downhill i coasted. I realized my engine had shut off.i panicked but thankfully thought to turn the ignition switch and the car turned back on. I thought it was a fluke.but this issue has occurred several times while driving.the same scenario. I realized by just bumping the key it turns off the engine.if i turn my ignition andif i don't hold it long enough, it will move back to off position. I mean i barely bump it and it can turn off. It has happened while driving at least 4 times. I have not gone to my chrysler dealership because i didn't want to pay an out of pocket expense and i no longer have the warranty on it.
Clockspring causing electrical malfunction very similar to that in which was a recall on this same vehicles just a few years prior.seat belt light flashes and dings even when seatbelts are locked while driving. Abs lights come on periodically while driving, vehicle gear shift locks while vehicle is in park running causing vehicle to have to be shut off before it will release. Cruise control malfunctions while driving. Done research to other owners of this vehicle style and others have complained of similar findings, however seems noone has contacted you yet. When these problems started they have been an ongoing issue daily.
Upon merging on to the highway at approx. 50 mph, the van rapidly accelerated on it's own.the gas pedal was not stuck on a floor mat, it hit the floorboard on it's own.applying the brakes did not work, pumping the brakes as well as the gas pedal did not work.van was steered to shoulder, the emergency brake was applied, and the vehicle put in park.the engine revved rapidly until vehicle was turned off.acceleration problem occurred at 38,800 miles.
While traveling on four lane stretch of us23 south (north of au gres, mi) using cruise control, a vehicle approached from behind.i switched lanes hit the brakes to coast and the car decelerated.the other vehicle passed on my left after which, i hit the resume/accelerate function on the cruise control (a quick up push of the lever). The engine revved to 4-5,000 rpm to resume cruise speed of 55mph but once 55 was reached, the engine did not slow down.i applied the brakes and the engine did not slow down.i pumped brakes, pumped accelerator, pushed the cruise off button multiple times pushed the cruise control to decelerate multiple times.nothing slowed the acceleration.i pressed the brakes and the car continued to accelerate.finally i put the car in neutral and with the car continuing to rev at 4-5000rpm, i coasted to the side.i turned the car off and then back on and the car engine went right back to the same rpm.i turned the car off again and waited approx. Two minutes and when i restarted, it functioned normally.i have not tried the cruise control since.i have set an appointment with shuman chrysler in walled lake, mi and they said they have never heard of this type of incident before.however i did see a similar incident with a quick internet search. This is a very dangerous situation.i can see how others driving could have had much worse results (think about the toyota incidents).please contact me for additional information and if you would like to inspect the car before it goes to the dealership.my wife and i are still driving the car, but not using the cruise control of course.
At low driving speed the engine did not maintain idle and stalled. Due to the engine stall, the brakes, and power steering were disabled and the car continued in motion moving forward at approximately 8 to 10 mph. Driver was able to maneuver to the shoulder of the road and coast to a stop with only the very limited steering and breaking power remaining.once at a full stop the car was able to restart once the shift lever was placed in the park position. Since this initial incident, the same stall problem has recurred about twenty times in total for two different drivers. Each time the car has been in motion at low speed and usually with the driver backing off the accelerator with the driver's foot moving off the gas pedal and onto the brake pedal.the vehicle was inspected by the dealer more than once and it was stated by the service manager that the issue could not be duplicated when test driven. Also it was stated that no fault was recorded by the standard computerized test of the car.
I purchased a 2008 chrysler town and country van, i was told it was a trade in from an old couple that needed a 4 wheel drive, i later found out it was aformer rental.the problem is that when you take your foot off the gas the vehicle does not slow down, it continues to go what ever speed you were traveling, i have to drive with my foot on the brake to go the speed limit.i have had it back to the dealer and they tell me that there is nothing from chrysler for this problem,i feel this is a major safety issue and i am afraid to have my wife and grandchildren in the vehicle.we are going to get a speeding ticket because you can't make the vehicle go the speed limit without having your foot on the brake.or we are going to wind up rear ending someone, because you expect the vehicle to slow down when you take your foot off of the gas, but it doesn't. The problem is consistent over 40 miles per hour. And it has been duplicated by the dealer. The vehicle in question is a 2008, chrysler town and country van with a 3.3l engine.
Regarding safety recall: l25/nhtsa 14v-373i have been complaining about this problem since 2008!since it is an intermittent problem, the service representatives at east hills chrysler (greenvale, ny) ignored me.i was told repeatedly that there was no such problem.my car stalled several times when i was on ny expressways going approximately 55 mph, and on neighborhood roads going a range of 25 to 40.it happened to my 18 yr old daughter on the long island expressway when she was going 55.we andyou are lucky no accident occurred and we were able to get to the side of the road.the car does not start properly either.the ignition does not catch unless the fobik is wiggled of the brakes and gas pedal are tapped repeatedly.i complained about this problem every time i took my car to the dealership over the last 6 years.each time, i was given a different excuse.now east hills has my car indefinitely because parts are on back order indefinitely.to boot, the loaner car was dirty, smells bad, windshield was smoky, one tire needed air, and the washer fluid was empty.i am not at all satisfied with this car or the east hills chrysler dealership.maybe someday, you will also acknowledge the brake system problem.for now, it's about time you acknowledged the ignition/fobik problem!we've known about the problem for years!
While driving down the interstate i set the cruise control which broke from the steering column.it was hanging by the wires inside the steering column.after exiting the interstate i made a left turn.the cruise control stalk got entangled with the turn signal causing the steering wheel to become inoperable.my quick fix was to tape the cruise control stalk to the steering column until a new part could be ordered from the dealer.it was replaced in a timely manner by chrysler.
The contact owns a 2008 chrysler town and country. The contact was driving approximately 50 mph when the accelerator pedal abnormally dropped to the floorboard. The contact applied the brakes and coasted to the shoulder. The failure recurred intermittently while driving at various speeds. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for diagnostics or repairs. The approximate failure mileage was 35,000. The vin was not available.
The contact owns a 2008 chrysler town and country. The contact stated that while driving approximately 35 mph, the vehicle became unresponsive to the contacts attempts to accelerate. The tps warning light was illuminated on the instrumental panel prior to the failure. The vehicle was towed to a dealer who informed the contact that she would need to replace the full body throttle lamp and pcv valve. The vehicle was repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 52,600.
Many, many , many times this has happened. I will either be slowing down for a red light, to make a turn, or hit a bump and the car shuts off. No particular reason, no idiot lights come on indicating a problem. If i didn't pay attention to the heating/cooling fan, it shuts off,i wouldn't know this has happened. Twice i have been driving on the freeway, hit a bump and thecar shuts off. 65 mph with children and pets in the car!. A couple of times the car has just shut off at a stop, no bump, nothing apparent. I have been in to the dealership three times, spending large amounts of money and all they can say to me is i'm sorry we could not duplicate the situation. I received a recall notice on 09-15-2014 about the problem and as ofthis date, 01-16-2015 i have not been notified that it is my turn to get the ignition fixed. My husband and i both called the dealership two times each and all they can say is that the part hasn't been manufactured or that they haven't heard anything from chrysler.
While driving i had slowed slightly down a hill and started to accelerate up hill, when i crested hill the gas pedal got stuck. I had 2 children in car. Got really scared. I quickly swiped my foot under pedal to knock anything blocking out of way, nothing there. I hit brakes, car kept going as it wasn't strong enough to hold it back. Threw car in neutral and the engine was screaming. As i rolled to side the pedal, with manipulation, became unstuck. This was a very scary incident, which could have ended badly. I researched on the net and saw many other complaints of this nature. Please do something. Consumers are being robbed of the 2nd biggest asset they spend their hard earned money on.
I just got my chrysler town and country, it hasn't even been three months since i got it and now the barometric pressure is low witch is causing other problems witch also cause the car to shut off whiledriving i have had one person tell me that the car shouldn't be on the road. I was mad because i only got it because i'm expecting my third child. I don't think its right that now i'm stuck with the car and the dealership can't do anything about it, don't get me wrong i love the car it just the problems i'm having with the car...the part that's on recall on my car i was told that chrysler has made the part yet recall l25 i don't think i'll be getting another chrysler.
When on the road in warmer weather everything is fine and then all electrical components stop working windows, air conditioner, speed control, radio, not sure what else. All idiot lights come on, wipers come on and wont stop until key is in off position or if you keep driving it will eventuality come to normal but until it does, no windows, no ac makes it a hazard in traffic at temps around 100 degrees. Makes one wonder what will happen next because it gets real hot in the car real fast and it works on your mind. When the weather is cool it hardly ever happens but when it does occur its for a shorter time. Headlites say on but i'm not sure about the brake lites and turn signals.
Just purchased a used 2008 chrysler town & country. It was taken to the shop for extensive maintenance, including the replacement of the hub bearing - front right with oem parts. Upon further inspection we ascertained that there is a recall for this part for the 2008 model year. Chrysler notification k19 states:"the front wheel bearings on your vehicle (vin: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) may develop a growling or grinding noise. The bearing noise may increase or decrease during turning maneuvers. What your dealerwill do:chrysler will service your vehicle free of charge (parts and labor) well, it turns out that my vehicle vin number is not included in the recall. Is there a reason for this? can you look into this? thank you.
I have a chrysler 2008 town and country with 66000 miles on it. While driving my van at approx 35 miles per hour the van suddenly flashed the electronic throttle control light, check engine light, and slippery condition light.the van lost the ability to press on the gas pedal and make it go.it continued to idle down the road, but the gas pedal made no difference on the speed i was going.i idled into a driveway, turned the van off, let it sit for approx 30 minutes, then restarted the van.the van started fine, but while driving it home it did the same thing. I idled the last 1/2 mile home to get the van in the driveway.the next morning i made a service appointment and drove the van to the dealership.it stopped running one time on the drive, which is approx 5 miles away from my house.i again had to stop the vehicle, put it in park, and restart the vehicle. The dealership called and said that it was a wire going to the electronic throttle control that needed to be repaired.i see that there was a service bulletin regarding this issue in the 2010 town and country and didn't know if the same bulletin applied to the 2008. I feel that this is a major safety issue as the van loses all ability to get up and go.had i been driving on the highway when it lost all power i could have caused a major accident! within the past month we have also replaced the egr valve, the power steering fluid line, and the power harnesses on the door. They are now taking apart the engine because it is making a "lifter tapping" noise.
The contact owns a 2008 chrysler town and country. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the driver's side sliding door erroneously opened and closed independently. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who diagnosed that the defect was caused by severed wires of the wiring harness that were inside the sliding door. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact also stated that the vehicle would frequently fail to accelerate and the cruise control would independently activate. The vehicle was not diagnosed by the dealer or repaired. The manufacturer was notified and no solution was offered. The failure mileage was 88,000.

Beginning within weeks of purchase, cruise control will randomly not turn on; must restart engine to fix the problem.also, when on, the cruise control may suddenly turn off, usually need to restart engine to get it to work again.all the above occurs on a regular basis, even after "repairs" by the dealership.

The contact owns a 2008 chrysler town and country. The contact stated that the vehicle was smoking excessively after being re-fueled, the air conditioner failed to function, and the air bag warning indicator illuminated. The dealer (wheels of chicago, 6229 n western ave, chicago, il 60659, (773) 262-7500) indicated that the vehicle was not covered by a recall and diagnostic testing was needed to determine the cause of the failure. The dealer had not diagnosed the vehicle. An independent mechanic inspected the vehicle and stated that it was unsafe to drive, and advised the contact to take the vehicle to the dealer and notify the manufacturer. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was waiting on a solution to repair the vehicle. The vin and failure mileage were not available.
The windshield wipers both front and back, the washer fluid and horn all turn on randomly while driving or parked with the ignition off, the doors refuse to unlock or lock, the headlights turn on and off randomly while driving or parked. The dashboard gauges stop working all together or all of the warning lights turn on and off and the radio/navigation will turn on and off. All of the mentioned symptoms occur regardless of whether the ignition is on or not and randomly with no notification or predictability. The dealer wants in excess of $1000 to repair but offers no guarantee that it will not reoccur.
The bottom 1/3 of the windshield does not defrost this creates a very dangerous situation. During winter conditions, the wipers drag across the icy area and smear the clear area with ice and you are required to stop up to every 4-5 minutes to scrape the windshield when you are during snowy conditions in the winter.

My wife was driving on two different occasions and the van stalled, completely powered off. All electrical systems suddenly started acting in very abnormal ways. The wipers turned on as well as sprayed. The horn started going off, the locks on the doors gut stuck.all warning lights on the dashboard turned on. The ac quit working.the biggest problem is the two occasions the van just quit working going 40 to 60mph and the brakes and power steering not responding.this i think is major safety issues because my two little kids were with her in the van.
Was driving down the road and the horn started blowing and the wind shield wipers went full speed and the motor turned off in the middle of the highway. They told me it was the tipm was bad and they have a ton of these vehicles with this problem! it is a very expensive fix and should be a recall item due to it being a safety problem!the vehicle shuts down and you loose all power! i have seen online other issues where the air bags actually deployed. I am so scared to drive this vehicle because i don't know if it will malfunction again!! it has happen at least 3 times already.
On 3/7/16, 3 days following the recall repair for the win module we had done on 3/4/16, after starting the car and beginning to drive in my church parking lot, all of the dash lights lit up, the car started chiming as if i didn't have my seatbelt on, the wipers engaged, and the mph and rpm gauges dropped to zero. It continually repeated. I attempted to pull into a parking space, turn off and removed key from ignition. Restarted car, and problem persisted. I repeated this again with the problem still persisting. I pulled into a gas station, turned car off, removed key, and exited vehicle. When i restarted the car the problem had stopped. Two days later on 3/8/16 i started my car for work and as soon as i put the car in reverse the same problem started. Shut the car off, removed key, and restarted... Still occurring. Shut the car off, removed key, exited vehicle, restarted, still occurring... I proceeded to drive down the road after exiting my driveway and took a video of this problem repeating continually until a mile down the road, i pulled over into an empty parking lot, shut the car off, removed key, opened and shut the door, and let it sit for 3-5 minutes before restarting, and the problem no longer occurred. My husband called the dealership, greenwood auto in cortland, oh to tell them what was happening, and all they said that it wasn't from them repairing the win module. I find this extremely unsafe, and hard to believe this is just a coincidence as this has never happened before prior to having the recall repair done. I do not have pictures but i do have a video. Chrysler customer service now says i have to pay a chrysler dealership for a diagnosis of this new problem, how convenient that is.
The contact owns a 2008 chrysler town and country. While driving at 55 mph, the windshield wipers activated independently and the radio failed to function. In addition, the contact stated that the gauges, meters and lights on the instrument cluster panel failed to function. The contact also stated that the doors failed to unlock using the fobik. As a result, the contact had to manually unlock the doors. The vehicle was taken to a dealer who diagnosed that the totally integrated power module (tipm) needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vin was included in nhtsa campaign number: 11v139000 (electrical system). The failure mileage was 88,000.
While driving our van's horn began to go on and off by itself, the wiper blades began to run, and worst of all the dash was blinking on and off.this was a scary situation to be in on the road with my kids.it was very hard to concentrate and frustrating with no answers given.
It started off horn blowing wipers going off and washer fluid squirting in the driveway no one in it. Then started doing that while driving at different speeds from standing still to 65 mph. Also has like lost transmission, it would shutter like losing power,then be ok. It has shuttered at red lights horn going wipers going water spurting and stall out. I had a fairly new battery and it drained it and tested bad. The a.c. Goes off well the fan motor control does. My wife is afraid to drive the vehicle. It possessed. That's what we call it. I can for see this could cause a serious accident. My teenage daughter drives it to some times and not being a experienced driver like an adult im afraid to let her drive it.thank for litening. Im reading on line this is happening to a lot of other people.
On 10/06/2013 our 2008 chrysler town and country touring edition (without alarm system) was parked under carport and for no reason the horn started honking (beep...beep..beep..constantly), both front and rear wipers & washers started running, door locks started continuously locking/unlocking, and gauges in dash were showing random and unusual readings. On 12/18/2014 while on the road with cruise control set at 65m.p.h. The horn started honking in the same manner, wipers/washers started running, and dash gauges malfunctioned.in both instances the only way to shut it all off was to disconnect the battery for a few days.there have been a few occasions when the horn randomly starts honking in the same manner but stops after just a few seconds.
2008 model year chrysler town & country, approximately 138500 miles. Two separate incidents so far, one day apart. The first incident occurred while stopped at a stop light on july 18, 2015. The vehicle tried to lurch forward (foot firmly on brake pedal, no pressure on gas pedal) and the horn blared intermittently with no user input. The second incident occurred stopped in a parking lot on july 19, 2015. As the driver was exiting the vehicle, the horn began to fire in rapid, short bursts with no pressure on the steering wheel. The wipers activated, and the wiper fluid nozzles began spraying fluid. The air conditioning system also remained on with the key fully removed shortly before the incident, which is not intended behavior nor is it a feature of the vehicle in question. These problems are symptoms of tipm failure, and relate to the current nhtsa action number dp14004.i no longer feel safe driving my own car. I can't guarantee it will sit still in a parking lot, even without the key in the ignition.
After having the win module replaced due to recall the vehicle intermittently started having an issue. While driving we would loose power all gauges (rpm,mpg,fuel), start flashing all the dash lights, chiming, wipers would engage, and headlights start flashing. (all at the same time) this would randomly happen at all times day or night, in all types of weather (cold, warm, wet, dry) and at various speeds and various driving terrains(both city streets and highways). After driving at night and having headlights flashing off and on while everything lighting up and turning on and off (extremely dangerous) we left at dealership for over a week and also showed them a video that we took of the car going haywire. They however, could not diagnose problem. They said all they knew was that when this happens the vehicle is actually trying to shut itself off and that the computer was resetting itself to avoid the engine turning off. They could not tell us why this was happening or how to fix this.
The vehicle was parked at the time of the incident, with doors unlocked. The vehicle suddenly locked the doors, began sounding the horn, front/back windshield wipers turned on, and lights began flashing. I initially believed the alarm system was going off, but the vehicle would not unlock with the use of the key. After about five minutes, it appeared that power was failing and the vehicle began leaking out all of the windshield wiper fluid in front/back. Soon after, the power seemed to die, but the front end of the vehicle (under the battery) continued to make a clicking noise. The vehicle will not power on with the use of the key, and the car had to be manually unlocked on the drivers side. When researching similar symptoms on the internet, it was found that this is a manufacturer defect and could have occurred while driving, with the loss of steering control and brakes.
This is the same issue that a lot of other people are having with the windshield wipers and fluid spraying and going off, horn honking and locks going all crazy.about a year ago this happened and i took my car in and was told it was the clock spring, then a week later same thing happened- happened first while i was driving and it went crazy, then also when i use the key faub to unlock the car it acted up.the second time i took it in they told me my battery was bad, but if i had it in a week before that why is that bad now when they should have noticed then?so put in around $700 to fix this issue.now yesterday, exactly a year later, same thing happened.driving on my way to work, it did it for about 5 minutes, i pulled over and shut my car off and restarted it.then when i left work i pushed my unlock on my key faub and did it for a minute or so, then when i got home and went down to my car to leave last night, used key faub and it started going again, but this time would not stop so the battery is disconnected.i try to hook the battery up and it continues on still.this is dangerous for someone to drive and should be recalled immediately, also, my car would not shift and my abs light and traction control light turned on this time, and last year it did not.my car is possessed!! i commute to work and this is a very dangerous issue and these cars need to be recalled asap!
I took my car in for a recall on an ignition win module recall. The car was given back to me with several electrical issues and is now very unsafe to drive. Dealer replaced the part 4x now says its my issue!! my car was working properly when it was given to the dealer and was not returned to me in the same condition. The dealer experienced and witnessed this issue and says they cant find anything wrong with it.the only way they will help me is if i pay. My car will randomly light up the dash like i just turned it on, wipers go on by themselves, i have no dials on the dash they all bottom out to zero so i have no idea how fast im going, my turn signals and head lights go on and off, even in the dark! my car doesnt register in park so my doors wont open. After i take the key out it will light up as if key is in it and its not. Not safe for driving but i have no other options at this point! attached is a link to show a video of just a small bit of the issues with my van since part replacement.

We bought our 2008 chrysler town and country in may of 2014 used from kunes ford antioch illinois. The first time i went to use my electric start, about 15 mins after car was going the van started going crazy windshield wipers/ fluid horn blaring doors lock can't use the fobik key to unlock the only way to stop it was to disconnect battery. Couple months past and it started acting to where i would go to start the car and it would just click and would t start. It has done all of the listed above numerous times but now it is getting more and more. About 3 weeks ago it did it 7 times in one week 4 of those times i had my 4 children in the vehicle. While i am driving down the street it will start to do this craziness and then it will stall. Yesterday august 4 2015 it did it twice the second time it started with wipers while driving when i got home i parked it took the key out of ignition and the van was still running and doing the wipers the doors locked and i could t get it unlocked to get my children out of the car. I have had it at a chrysler dealer for service for 2 weeks where the service manager drove it personally he was able to get it to do the same thing to him. I had my vehicle returned after two weeks charged $235 dollars and was told good luck to you we have no clue what's causing it. I have been in contact and complaining to chrysler which i now have a case manager who could only tell me to take it to dealership while its in process to have it ran for codes which i did yeaturday and was laughed at but the service guys. I am at my wits end. This is the car we purchased for our family to be safe in but instead i am driving a death trap and no one has an answer or wants to help. Someone needs to do something about this this is a serious problem. I just googled it and found tons of complaints about same thing. This is an issue for sure!! please help!!!
Pushed the unlock button on the key fob one day and the horn started blaring, windshield washer spraying, front and rear wipers running, doors locking/unlocking. I had to get the hard key out of the fob to unlock the doors and pop the hood to disconnect the battery. The problem cleared randomly. This has happened about 7 times. I finally decided to pull the fuses for the horn as not to annoy the neighbors. The next time it went off, i heard clicking noises from the fuse box under the hood. I tapped the fuse box the problem stopped. I don't notice anything suspicious that might be causing this. This has also happened while driving creating a dangerous situation. The problem has also been triggered while trying to open the door while locked. Based on the other complaints, i think this really needs to be a recall. The vehicle is great otherwise. It is a shame when you think you have a good vehicle and then something like this happens. I do not feel safe driving my family in the van.
The incidents below are related to the tipm.11-22-13, 80000 miles, i have video.(i'm guessing on mileage.) in my garage. I hit my unlock button on my fob. I do not have a starter, but my van began running, the lights,wipers & horn came on, the doors locked.i manually unlocked the door. Entering the vehicle, i tried to turn on/off the van, wipers & lights to no avail. After 1/2 hour, it stopped. I started the car. It was working.3-17-15, 100000 miles(i'm guessing on mileage.) in the parking lot, i tried to start my van. No response. Figured my battery died. As soon as we started a jump, van's horn started blaring, wipers, lights & motor began. Could not turn anything on/off with my key. We removed/replaced a fuse, which stopped the horn, wipers, etc. I drove home.1-28-16, 122487 milesi left work, hit my fob's unlock button, the wipers started going, etc. (the horn's had burned out from a previous incident). I drove 4 miles. The van stalled dangerously in traffic. I was able to pull over. After 5 mins, the wipers stopped. I drove it home. The engine light came on. I made it home.next morning, while driving, the washer fluid started shooting! i barely got the van pulled over before it stalled. I couldn't stop the wipers. It started again.i drove to about 2 miles from the dealership before it died - the wipers were still going. My tow bill was $77. When i tell service the symptoms, she said, "do you have a town and country?"i had the ignition module (recall) replaced.i went home.2-3-16, 122600 milesdriving to work. Wipers begin, wiper fluid shooting out again! 5 days prior, they saidit was a recall for the ignition module. Today, it has nothing to do with the ignition module replacement. I must pay $966 to get a new tipm if i want to be safe. It is not covered underrecall or warranty.i called chrysler customer service.they said the same.the consumer no longer owns the vehicle. The conumer requested a reimbursement for an issue that became a recall and a tow.
Vehicle is having electrical problems. These electrical problems are causing the vehicle to shut off while operating, lights to turn on and off, horn to sound and windshield wipers and washers to operate randomly. This vehicle was purchased new from the dealer and had a similar problem when new.it was repaired and now is doing it again only more severely. There are many reports of similar problems with this vehicle experiencing this problem. In some cases the cruise control starts operating on its own and accelerating. This needs to be a recall.
Yesterday while driving in town my engine stalled, and the horn started blaring. Not honking or alarm sound, but solid blaring. My wipers turned on high, and the windshield wash started spraying all over. Front and rear wash and wipers. My reverse lights were on, even though the vehicle was in park. Also, the fan inside the van for the heater/ac isn't working.this spell lasted 3-5 minutes. Afterward, i was able to restart the van and continue on my way. Today, the same thing happened, shortly after starting the vehicle. 2 of the 3 times happened while i was driving on the street, approx 25-30 mph.
Driving down the road wipers turn on by themselves will not turn off, high beams will not work also turn signals will not work.
Was driving down the road when the alarm started beeping, lights on dashboard flickered, and wipers go on and off on their own.has happened several times.now the passenger back door automatic buttons do not work and the driver's seat will move forward and back when driving.this is a huge safety issue and the chrysler dealerships are not helpful in finding a solution.said it will take several weeks to try and diagnose what's wrong. I am alarmed that more people are having similar issues and a recall has not been made.it's hard to drive when your seat is moving.in addition, sometimes my transmission will not shift.seems to be an electrical problem.once i turn the vehicle off and restart it, seems to run fine.
Having problems with the electrical system as described by many others here.car can be sitting still in driveway or driving when the horn will go off, dashboard lights go on, wipers starting going up and down, windshield fluid starts shooting out, electrical components in vehicle don't work, a/c doesn't work, and if driving, car will not shift into gear at higher speeds. Cannot turn off or stop any of this. I tried turning car on and off, hit buttons on remote, and this will continue for a few minutes until finally stopping on its on. Very scary when you are driving! almost got in multiple accidents so far and with my kids in the car!
At intermittent times the horn goes off and the windshield wipers turn on and it squirts washer fluid. Sometimes while stationary and sometimes while driving. The vehicle will shut down on its own whether driving slow on a side street or at highway speeds. This started last spring (2016).i've read numerous reports of this happening and that it is the tipm module. I spoke to the dealer last year about it and they said there was no recall issued.i've also seen that this has not been considered a safety issue. How so? this is very much a safety issue and it needs to be a recall. Electrical systems are not a mechanical 'wear and tear' item. I don't have any documentation of an incident yet and i hope my wife and kids don't have have one!
When on the road in warmer weather everything is fine and then all electrical components stop working windows, air conditioner, speed control, radio, not sure what else. All idiot lights come on, wipers come on and wont stop until key is in off position or if you keep driving it will eventuality come to normal but until it does, no windows, no ac makes it a hazard in traffic at temps around 100 degrees. Makes one wonder what will happen next because it gets real hot in the car real fast and it works on your mind. When the weather is cool it hardly ever happens but when it does occur its for a shorter time. Headlites say on but i'm not sure about the brake lites and turn signals.
My car acts possessed.the horn honks, wipers are on at full speed with fluid spraying everywhere, the locks go crazy (locking and unlocking by themselves), if the car is in motion the motor dies in traffic.this has happened several times since july 14, 2012.(at least 5 times per week).last night the fan motor came on by itself and ran the battery down.we had to unplug the fan motor to get it to stop.hopefully we can find out what is causing this issue.
Car acts possessed, dash lights flicker, inside sound chimes, wipers go on there own, car loses power, turn signals won't work, shop said its a faulty tipm happens while stationary and driving
Gauge cluster problems, windshield wipers.
We have been having an ongoing issue with our 2008 chrysler town and country. The horn will start blowing, the wipers will come on, fluid will start spraying, the a/c will come off and on, doorlocks will not work, and all this will happen while driving and when it is sitting in the garage with no key in the ignition. I have a 4 year old daughter and when this happens while driving we have come very close to being in an accident. The only way to stop the vehicle from doing this is to disconnect the battery. Not safe.
The wipers kick on when when there not turned on they squirt windshield wipers fluid too
My wife went to the car to unlock it the horn began blaring, locks going up and down, lights flashing, wiper fluid spraying everywhere, and the car actually started up w/o the key in the ignition and we do not have a remote starter on the vehicle. I arrived and removed the battery cable and it all stopped. After a few minutes i replaced the cable and was able to start the vehicle without incident. I was driving it home at approximately 65 mph and the vehicle suddenly started doing the same thing but the car cut off and i lost all steering and braking ability but was able to coast to the side parkway i was on. I removed the cable and replaced it and drove home without incident took the key out but the van would not shut off. One night of the issue we were awakened by the vehicles horn and when i went outside it was doing the same thing and the car was running in the driveway. She refuses to drive it and now we are stuck with a useless vehicle sitting in the driveway..fed up with this situation there needs to be someone held accountable, dealership was no help at all!! " they say the don't know what the problem is how can that be !?????? seeing that there are thousands of van owners like me with the same problem!!!!!
I just left my work related training class around 4:45pm and it was raining on that day. I noticed that i turned on my wipers, the front light and i immediately noticed that my wiper, the front light, signal light, heater and air condition stopped working suddenly. I tried to adjust my wiper speed but could not do any thing, to even turn it off was not possible. My signal failed to work, my horn also failed. I parked to see what might be the problem but could not electronically unlock the doors, also i noticed that when i turn the ignition key to on position, the dash light on the board was off, wiper is moving without been turned on and the light was not on after i started the vehicle. This is a potential danger and this has happened seven to ten times and these only happened when it was raining or during cold weather.
While driving at various speeds the warning bell sounds, then the air bag warning icon lights, then all other warning icons light, then all gauges go dead for about a second, the the front wipers swipe 2-4 times. After that, if the air bag warning icon light stays on, the entire process will reoccur every few minutes. Sometimes it will stop after a few iterations, sometimes it will go on for hours. The problem seams to be more prevalent after the vehicle has been parked in the hot sun. Sometimes, disconnecting the battery's negative cable for at least 30 minutes will reset it until it is parked in the sun.
Used keyfob to unlock van and horn started honking (short blasts) continually, wipers/washer activated, all lights in dash started flashing showing an 8 in gear indicator, headlights started flashing, doors locked, fans start running, solenoid starts clicking, it appears that everything electrical under the hood except the starter is activated.
The contact owns a 2008 chrysler town and country. The contact stated that while the vehicle was in motion, the windshield wipers engaged inadvertently. The contact stated that the battery cables were disconnected to disengage the windshield wipers. The vehicle was towed to victorville motors (14617 civic dr, victorville, ca 92394) to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the clockspring failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that the vin was not under recall. The failure mileage was approximately 135,000.
Several times, driving at speeds of fifty-sixty-five mph, electric driver seat goes forward and back, forward and back. At the same time, wipers come on,, and all dash alerts start flashing. It does not turn car off, and repeats this several times, even in park.scary!!!!!!!!!
When opening door after unlocking and disengaging alarm, horn abruptly comes on continuously and wipers start.pulled battery cable to shut off.imagine if i had been driving and this happened.could have caused a crash with me or others.afraid to even drive it to the dealer for repair.what if it locked my child in the car in the summer heat?this should be a mandatory recall immediately!!!!!
Wife stated that she went to her car to leave from work and once she got close to the vehicle the horn began blaring non stop, wipers running, fluid spurting out, dash lights going on and off and door locks going up and down.i arrived and removed the battery cable and it stopped.i replaced the cable a short time later and was able to start the vehicle and i started driving it home and as i got up to about 30 mph it did it again and this time the car cut off and i lost steering and brakes but was able to come to a stop on the side of the busy street i was on.i removed the key from the ignition and got out of the vehicle at which point i noticed that the car had cut back on and was actually running without the key in the ignition.i drove it home without further incident.at 3 am the same night we were awakened by the vehicles horn blaring in the driveway.i went outside and it was doing the same thing that my wife originally stated but the car was actually running without a key being anywhere near it - we do not have the remote start installed on the vehicle. My wife and i refuse to drive it due to the fact that if the above problems happen at 70 mph we would probably be dead.
Vehicle shuts off while driving.how can this problem, addressed literally hundreds and thousands of times on multiple sites, be judged by your department as not a "safety issue"? i, along with my wife, have been driving down the road with my family at highway speeds and the van completely shuts down.i have been driving down my driveway at low speeds and the van completely shuts down.the van behaves as if possessed.the horn blares, front and rear wipers come on by themselves, flashers come on by themselves, doors lock by themselves, washer fluid sprays on its own at a high volume.i have decided, since nhtsa, chrysler, and my local dealership can't/won't help, that i will call an exorcist.i believe the exorcist will be about as much help as the three of you combined.i assume if my beautiful wife and daughter are killed as a result of the engine shutting off at random speeds one of you three will pay the funeral expense?or at least send some flowers to the visitation?how nice of you. Or should i just contact the exorcist again and see if she has a friend that could hold a seance so i can tell them how much i loved them and that their safety was just not a priority for you?seriously.it is time to do something.i do not have the kind of money the dealership is asking me to pay for a widely known and accepted defect in the manufacturing process of their vehicle.the total integrated power module (tipm) is faulty.everyone knows it.the company acknowledges it. Thousands have been replaced at the owner's expense. When is someone going to step up? how many people have to die before it becomes a "safety issue" to you? so for now i have a very expensive lawn ornament and my family has to bum rides.unbelievable.
The glass on the van steams up to easily during cooler weather when no heat is turned on or vent. The body of the van collects water in the doors housing the glass in the sliding doors on both passenger and driver's side. No repairs have been made to body and a recent visit to a break shop even replacement breaks the van still makes squeaks at times. A recent bumper accident i shared with a body detailer said the back bumper seems off and needs repair, i have done no repairs on the body and the van is in the original condition from owners that transferred it to me. I also feel the lighting for after leaving the van trunk light stays on anytime a door is not open and have noticed the lights in the front of the van take a while to go off after locking and turning off veichle
While driving with the children to go home we were traveling at 25 mph and all of the sudden the horn was blaring then the windshields (front and back) start going and next windshield wiper fluid is pouring out non stop. I'm checking the controls and they are all on off. I pull over and turn the car off and take the keys out and the van still continues to have a fit. Time passes and it stops. We sit on the side with keys out of the car for about a half hour and the van continues to random spurts. I notice the lock on the open door is still in lock position, i press the key control for unlock and wiper fluid comes out. I wait longer and call the dealership. After 20 more minutes i start car. I turn off radio and drive home (5 min drive).
On 7/19 and 7/21 i put my van in park and removed the key.upon doing so, the horn continued to blow and the front and rear wipers ran at high speed.on 7/19, after immediately opening the hood, it stopped.on 7/21, i started the van back up and it continued to honk/wipers on.drove it across the street to have a mechanic look at it.again, turned it off and took key out, but it still continued.we opened the hood and the mechanic opened the fuse box.it stopped.the mechanic ran a scan to see if anything would come up as a problem with the electrical system.nothing showed up.my van was just recently added to the recall list for the ignition.is this a result of the need for a new ignition switch?not sure what i will do if it doesn't shut off.
Two years ago, while driving at night, horn, wipers, wiper fluid and lights began going off and on by themselves. Stopped the car and turned off the car, but it kept on going on. I was in the car with my 5 children and my husband was not with us. It totally freaked out my children and me. My husband came and disconnected the battery and it stopped. On the way home it had stopped. Call our chrysler dealership in the morning, but they had no idea what we were talking about and said to bring it in. Not being under warranty (68,000 miles) we decided to do our own research (husband works on cars on a regular basis). We only found that others in this situation were not having any luck at dealership. We have learned how to deal with this for 2 years now. We have taken out the fuse for the horn and wipers (as both will not turn off anymore) and insert wipers when raining. We don't feel safe with this situation, but not able to do anything else. Happens often without pattern. Waiting for a recall since this seems to be a huge problem with chrysler. Very disappointed in the product.
On may 2, the van would not start after coming out from a restaurant.the interesting thing is that the wipers had been going and the wiper fluid was empty and wiper fluid was all over the windshield and car.the battery was jumped as a short-term fix, but within a few miles (while going approximately 65mph), the car started honking its horn and wipers were going while driving.i quickly exited the highway and pulled into a nearby gas station.at that time, i put the vehicle into park and took the key out.even after the key was taken out, the vehicle continued to run, honk, and run the wipers.this continued for approximately 3 minutes before it quit by itself.the vehicle was towed to a nearby firestone center and the battery was replaced.this was unfortunately not the solution because another incident (same symptoms) occurred just 3 days later while driving.again, my wife got the vehicle to a safe place, but this time, she could not even get the van into the ?park? position.she was able to get the key out, but the car continued to run.she had to hold her foot on the brake and finally inserted the metal part of the key to get the engine to turn off and allow her to move it to the ?park? position and safely exit the vehicle..as you can imagine, this was an expensive incident, but more importantly, it presented a safety issue to me and my family because of the vehicle?s inability to stop and put into ?park? position.it also presented a safety concern driving with the car while it was not in an electronically stable condition and was hazardous to other drivers.i have researched this issue on the internet and see similar complaints.
I am having issues with my 2008 chrysler town and country van. I recently had the dealership work on some recalls for this model. At that time, it wasn't showing any problems. Only after the recalls were addressed did the trouble begin. Now, it sporadically will not recognize either key fob. Wait a while and try to crank it and it starts back up.today, 100 miles from home with 4 small children as passengers, it decided to have a fit at the gas pump and not start. Called road side assistance and waited for them to arrive just in time for van to decide it wanted to crank again. Cranked it up and tried to park it at a friends house close by. Detected what seemed like surges with the fuel pump while trying to get there. Finally got to a stopping point and turned the key off and the van kept running. The wipers went crazy and the horn started blowing all by itself. Is this vehicle possessed by the devil or what? itis not safe to drive and i have no other choice but to tow it back to the dealership. I don't know if anyone else has the same problem but i say this vehicle is unsafe! if there isnt a recall already issued, there certainly needs to be one.
Was driving and the following electrical items starting on their own:door locks ' lock and unlock repeatedlywindshield wipers ' highest setting non-stopwindshield wiper fluid (used all the fluid)lights ' flashing on and offhorn ' repeatedly going on and offstopped car in road and turned off car and took out the key and still the issue continued for 20 minutes until we were able to disconnect the cable to the battery at which time it all stopped. Thinking that maybe this would reset it all we tried to put the cable back on the battery and it all started again. Because we had to move it out of the road and could not get the car into neutral to push it, we started the car again and all the same issues continued as above.after driving about 100 feet to put the car in a driveway, it all stopped except a warning light for traction control. After 100 feet more, all lights were gone and the car seemed normal.drove the car home and had no issues.look to see if there were any trouble codes (have a code reader) and no codes are presentlooking internet, i found literally thousands of similar complaints and issues with this car and other dodge (durango for example, caravan) and jeep (cherokee for example).almost all of them said that issue was tipm defective.
While camping with the van off and the keys out of the vehicle.horn started honking.windshield wipers started going. Washer fluid started to spray. Hazards started to flash.started and shut off the van to no avail of stopping all the commotion.finally unhooked the battery to make it stop.took it to the dealer 2 days later and they found nothing wrong.one week later while my wife was driving the van.all of the devices again turned on for no reason.she pulled over and shut off the vehicle.after 5 minutes it finally stopped.when she started driving it again and when she started to drive it would not shift out of 3 gear.she pulled over and shut it off.started it up again and it worked fine.3 days later my wife and kids took it and all the devices turned on again out in the parking lot with the van off and keys out of it.when she started the van it would only run for like 20 seconds and then quit running.tried it numerous time to no avail.she wait 30 minutes while i was driving to pick them up.she started it again and it work fine.it still acts up about ever 2 to 3 days.dealership says it cant fix the problem cause it cant find anything wrong and cant reproduce the problem.
While driving approximately 25 mph, all the warning lights illuminated, and the windshield wipers activated independently. The vehicle was not taken to a mechanic. The manufacturer was contacted and stated that there were no recalls for the failure. The approximate failure and current mileage was 89,763.
When we used the remote key to unlock our van the alarm sounded, the horn keep beeping, the wipers - both front and back, started, wiper fluid sprayed from both the front and back, the doors would not unlock and the lights stayed on. Once i got in the car ( using a traditional key inside the remote ) i could not control any of the above. It eventually stopped only to start again when i used the remote to lock the car. The battery died and the car was towed to a shop. A new battery was replaced and the car computer reset. I drove it 5 miles home and parked it. 3 hours later i went to unlock the car and the entire process started again - both front and back wipers, lights on, wiper fluid spewing on both windows, car alarm and lights flashing. Again, i could not get in to the car as it remained locked. The battery had to be unwired for this all to stop. The car was towed back to the shop. This time we found out it was the tipm ( totally integrated power module ). The cost of this is over $700. Our car is only 4 years old and after researching this problem i am finding out this is a very common problem with the chrysler town and country 2008 model. If this happened while i was driving it could be an extreme safety hazard on the road. I want chrysler to issue a recall on this and issue mine and everyone elses money back - not only for the faulty part but for all the time and inconvenience this causes on car owners. Please don't want until a fatality happens.
The van will shut offwhile driving on the road the steering and brakes didn't work, i have to make sure i make it to the side of the road because it doesn't always want to start. It could be 5 or 10 minutes before i get it to start and i have had to leave it on the side of the road over night until the next day and have a tow truck pick it up.. I could of been killed or killed someone else. The horn, windshield wipers and window wiper water is spraying, flash lights flashing randomly go on at any time some times while i'm driving, some times late at night and the only way to stop all of this is to disconnect the battery or let it keep going until the battery drains. The speedometer goes on when i open the door but when i turn the vehicle on the speedometer goes off/blank. This scares me i'm afraid to drive it!
Consumer states that the defroster on the windshield will freeze the window and wipers from the bottom of the windshield.*njthe consumer was informed the vehicle was performing as designed and there was no defrost around the bottom of the windshield. The dealer told the consumer a heat wire could be installed with a separate switch, but it would be expensive.
The contact owns a 2008 chrysler town & country van. The front defrost mechanism for her front windshield failed to operate normally. While driving approximately 45 mph and trying to utilize the defrost mechanism in snowy weather, it failed to engage. The ice continued to build up on the front windshield and wipers; however, the defrost mechanism would not help with getting the precipitation off of the front windshield. On a separate occasion, the incident occurred while driving in freezing cold weather. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who stated that there was a design flaw in the defrost mechanism of her year, make and model vehicle. The current and failure mileages were under 15,000.
The contact owns a 2008 chrysler town and country.the contact stated while driving approximately 25 mph, the windshield wipers independently. The vehicle was taken to a local mechanic however, the mechanic was not able to diagnose problem. The manufacturer was not notified. The approximate failure mileage was 134,000.
The contact owns a 2008 chrysler town and country. While driving various speeds, the instrument cluster gauges suddenly flashed off and on, the headlights turned off and on, and the windshield wipers erroneously activated. The dealer was unable to determine the cause of the failures. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The vin was not available. The failure mileage was 120,000.
While driving, the wipers started at high speed, along with the windshield wiper fluid shooting out continuously so i could not see out the windshield.i pulled over and turned the key to turn the car off and the wipers and fluid did not stop.the locks would not unlock and i was stranded in a very bad busy part of the road.i had to have a police officer push me off of the road.after a long while, the car started back up.but it occurred later that morning, and i had to have it towed to a repair shop at the cost of $94.90.the repair shop could not find what the problem was.they said it was running fine.i do not feel safe driving this vehicle, nor do i feel this vehicle is safe for my children to drive.i am totally perplexed as to what to do.
All 4 wheel stems corroded. 2 failed.
The valve stem on tires has broken 4 times in since vehicle purchased in 2008, causing the tires to immediately and suddenly deflate.twice when inflating tires with air, once shortly after going through a car wash and once inexplicably while the vehicle was in motion.the local chrysler service rep at my dealer continually tells me that replacing should prevent the problem from happening again, yet it happened 4 times.fortunately none of the incidents resulted in a crash or damage, but if the vehicle were moving at higher speeds this could be awful.i cannot believe there has been no recall on these defective parts.this is dangerous and unacceptable, and i feel my family is at risk when we are driving.
Just purchased a used 2008 chrysler town & country. It was taken to the shop for extensive maintenance, including the replacement of the hub bearing - front right with oem parts. Upon further inspection we ascertained that there is a recall for this part for the 2008 model year. Chrysler notification k19 states:"the front wheel bearings on your vehicle (vin: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) may develop a growling or grinding noise. The bearing noise may increase or decrease during turning maneuvers. What your dealerwill do:chrysler will service your vehicle free of charge (parts and labor) well, it turns out that my vehicle vin number is not included in the recall. Is there a reason for this? can you look into this? thank you.
Vehicle has 4 different sizes of tires. Dark out when i bought vehicle. Also transmission slips in and out of gear. A/c immediately quit working. Oily burning smell after driven. Uses an abundant amount of gas $25-30 a day. My friend noticed the cord coming out of the tire a couple weeks after i got the van because it was makingklunking sounds. I took it to goodyear and they were appalled!
I purchased a used 2008 chrysler town and country touring edition with appx. 30,000 miles on it in late 2011.in may of 2012, i had an accident which only affected myself and the vehicle.while traveling approximately 45 mph the passenger rear wheel came off of the vehicle, causing the van to slam to the ground and me to perform emergency maneuvers to stop.the wheel, having had all five lug bolts sheared off, had bounced off of the vehicle doing considerable body damage.the brakes, axle, tire, et al had to be replaced.i chalked this up to coincidence, paid my deductible, and had over $3,000 worth of work done to repair the damage from the accident.this past sunday, august 24th, 2014, the exact same thing happened. I was traveling slower this time, about 25 mph, and when i heard the same wheel making noise i pulled off the road into a strip mall parking lot just in time to have the wheel come off again, this time doing damage to the rear quarter panel, the bumper, the axle, brakes, tire, et cetera.it also forced me to make another emergency stop, this time in the lot, where the right side of my vehicle was damaged by the handle of a commercial dumpster that stopped my skid.i reached out to chrysler because i cannot believe that the exact same thing to the exact same wheel would happen twice, and i now chalk it up to a parts failure on chrysler's end.i was at first told that they were not responsible and that nothing would be done on their end.the following day, i spoke with the chrysler dealership where the van was towed and was told by their head mechanic that the failure was due to the (factory) alloy rim.i again contacted chrysler with this new information and was told that my case was being moved up to a "specialist" and that i would have to wait 3-5 days before i heard from them.i no longer feel safe transporting my family in this vehicle.
This is the second occurrence. Tire was low - front right - pulled in to put air in and when unscrewing the valve cap, the stem broke off into my hand. The left rear wheel did the same thing 3 months ago. Luckily the stem did not fall apart while driving as the tire went immediately flat. Each time the cost was over 85 plus the call to aaa to assist. I saw that others were having the same issue. With only 60000 miles on the vehicle, the tire pressure monitor should not be failing. Was told this was not covered under warranty.
The contact owns a 2008 chrysler town and country. The contact stated that while driving, the rear driver's side tpms sensor fractured in two. The tire was unable to maintain tire pressure. The vehicle was driven to the dealer where the contact was informed that the failure was common but he would need to purchase a replacement. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and offered no assistance. The failure and current mileages were approximately 43,000.
All valve stems became corroded and required replacement due to leaking and causing flat tires.

Went to add air to a tire, the tpms valve stem snapped off, tire lost all air very quickly. The tpms valve stems are all corroded and all are about to fail. If one fails while driving, a very serious accident could result. Decided to purchase a different style of tpms (schrader with a rubber stem, instead of the dangerous originals with their corroding pot metal stems) for all 4 wheels at considerable expense to ensure the safety of my family. From reading forums at e.g. Allpar, this is a common problem. Chrysler surely knows about these dangerous tpms's and should be proactive and at least warn users to check for corrosion, and preferably fix their problem.

I was putting air in rear passenger side tire, when valve broke in half.stem was corroded upon inspection.i also noticed that another stem had been replaced already (i bought the car used) and there was still two original stems that were also corroded and probably needed replacement asap.mechanic said it was pretty common with town and country vans.

In addition, while driving at numerous speeds, the accelerator pedal was depressed and the vehicle started shaking without warning. The contact also stated that when the vehicle was parked, the key was difficult to remove from the ignition. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was unknown.
The tire pressure monitor alerted me to a tire with low pressure.this was the second time in two weeks that the sensor had alerted me to a low pressure situation with this tire.i took the vehicle to my independent mechanic who discovered a leaking tire valve due to corrosion.this is the second valve on this van that i have had a problem with.chrysler is not willing to do anything as far as warranty or defective part is concerned.their service writer's opinion was - "well, you do live in the northeast and we do get poor weather".this is a lousy excuse for a know problem to chrysler.this situation needs to be recalled before someone has a catastrophic valve failure at speed and is involved in a serious collision.i have since replaced the valve and tire monitor (thanks chrysler for your great design - $100 for a tire valve).
Tire pressure monitoring system (tpms)- routinely shows i have 4 flat tires. Ignition switch, tpms sensors, wiring, starter have all been replaced, some numerous times. In addition- car will sometimes not start. We have been dealing with this since june 2015. The vehicle has been to the dealer for this at least 10 times, no resolution.
The rear wheel bearings need replaced. There is a loud growling or rubbing sound in the back. The dealership is saying that there is no recall.
2008 chrysler town & country... 5 recalls... Brakes brakes brakes...i have had the brakes replaced 4 times now with 96,000 miles on it. Also the rear driver side caliper froze up and i had to replace the pads,rotor,caliper @ a cost of 250.00. The noise from the front hubs drove me crazy!! paid 550.00 to fix them and got bad parts off the shelf.. Then i got a notice in the mail 3 months after i fixed them about bad bearings in the front and that i can be refunded the money spent to fix them. Now im trying to fill out the paper work need for the refund.
My tire light came on i check the air pressure and found one of the valve stems broke off. Took it into tire shop and was told chrysler is having a problem with the stems. Had to replace one. Need new tires and will have to replace the other three.
One tpms valve stem broke when i tried to add some air. Tire got flat instantly.
The valve stem became corroded and broke off under the cap.the tire lost pressure while driving due to the defective valve stem, and valve stem had to be replaced to refill the tire with air.
The valve stem broke off after we went to the dealership to have the tires tests. Tpms was set off by the first stem replacement we had two months earlier. We now have two replacement valves on our town & country. I don't even know if the replacement are from the same faulty supplier in china. But the stem are made of the same metal rather than brass. Please get a recall of these items. The manufacturer will do nothing until someone gets hurt and it does me no good to replace them if they continue to use the same faulty parts.
Our van makes a grinding or rubbing noise coming from the front end/axles.it is especially noticeable when we are turning.it sounds like a fluttering/grinding of metal or some part that is revolving with the wheels as we drive.we had the brake rotors replaced and pads replaced.that helped with the shimmy we felt while braking, but the rubbing/grinding sounds persist.we are being told it might be wheel bearings.others have reported similar problem to nhtsa for this model/year t&c mini van. There is a service notification k19 for this exact problem on some 2008 models.i think our van vin# should be added to that list of "some 2008 models."
The contact owns a 2008 chrysler town and country. The contact stated that while inflating the tires, he noticed that the front passenger side valve stem was fractured. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and the mechanic stated that the valve stem would have to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The vehicle was then taken to an authorized dealer for unrelated maintenance and the contact was informed that both passenger side valve stems were fractured. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 60,000.
While i'm driving my vehicle home from work it will stall, taking the ability to steer away. Like it just shuts off right in the middle of driving. It usually happens when i am turning or going around a curve.
My auto service technician was checking the tire pressure when the valve stem broke off at the valve cap area causing the left rear tire to deflate. The technician said this was due to the dis-similar metals corroding and weakening the valve stem. He said that if the valve stem where to fail at highway speeds it could be very dangerous. This vehicle has the tire pressure displayed on the dashboard.
Valve stems on tpms systems are not made of brass as on the past they are of a pot metal and they corrode under the cap when you try to inflate the tie the snap off causing an instant flat. I f this was to occur at speed it would have catastrophic results. There needs to be a recall before someone gets hurt or killed.
Chrysler declined covering my car under k19 recall because it was manufactured 2 days before the recall date and also they also said my car was sold originally in ok. The car resides in il since 2013.even my service advisor thought it was covered by the same recall.the recall cover both of the front wheel bearings, the left one was replaced almost a year ago on my expenses in chrysler dealer and now after 10 k miles the right wheel bearing started to create humming and grinding sound. I contacted chrysler customer service and they said that they can't do anything for me because my car was manufactured 2 days before the k19 time frame.i don't mind paying for repairing my car, but this minivan traveled to the dealership 19 times for many different expensive repairs since august 2013, this is too much i appreciate your help in this regard.
