OUR 2009 T&C STALLED IN CITY TRAFFIC THIS MORNING WITHOUT ANY WARNING WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO BELOW 20-30 MPH (WITH THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT BRIEFLY ILLUMINATING AFTER THE STALL). IT HAD STALLED PREVIOUSLY 3 SEPARATE TIMES IN SIMILAR SITUATIONS WHEN EITHER MY WIFE OR SON WERE DRIVING THE VAN. OF COURSE WHEN THE ENGINE DIES THERE IS NO POWER STEERING OR POWER BRAKES WHICH MAKES HANDLING THE VEHICLE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT. THE VAN IMMEDIATELY RESTARTS WHEN YOU TURN THE IGNITION KEY, BUT THE CEL DOES NOT LIGHT UP SO THERE ARE NO CODES IN THE COMPUTER TO HELP DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT LOTS OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING. JUST READ THE BLOGS ON THE INTERNET. IF THE VAN STALLS WHILE MAKING A TURN AND YOU CAN'T BRAKE OR STEER, THEN IT'S JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE A POTENTIALLY SERIOUS ACCIDENT OCCURS. AS FAR AS I KNOW THERE ARE NO OPEN RECALLS ON THE VAN (IGNITION RECALL ALREADY TAKEN CARE OF). THE WEATHER WAS NICE AND STREETS WERE DRY.

RECENTLY PURCHASED VEHICLE USED (DEALERSHIP FILLED WITH FUEL AFTER TEST DRIVE BUT BEFORE WE TOOK IT HOME). ON THE WAY HOME ON CITY STREETS (WHILE APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION), THE ENGINE STALLED CAUSING LOSS OF POWER BRAKES & POWER STEERING. AFTER PUTTING THE CAR IN PARK, IT STARTED UP & RAN FINE. A COUPLE DAYS LATER, MY WIFE WAS DRIVING IT & WHILE TURNING RIGHT AT AN INTERSECTION IT DID THE SAME THING. SHE BARELY WAS ABLE TO SAFELY COMPLETE THE TURN DUE TO THE LOSS OF POWER STEERING. AFTER THAT INCIDENT IT HASN'T HAPPENED AGAIN (BUT WE HAVEN'T FILLED IT WITH FUEL AGAIN YET). RESEARCH ON THE NET LEADS ME TO THINK IT IS THE COMMON PROBLEM WITH A VALVE IN THE FUEL TANK. WE ARE VERY NERVOUS DRIVING THE CAR & ARE DREADING OUR NEXT FILL UP. THIS IS INCREDIBLY UNSAFE & I HOPE CHRYSLER IS WILLING TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

I LOST STEERING, ELECTRICAL, EVERYTHING!!!! LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO GLIDE OVER TO THE SIDE AND RESTART MY ENGINE AND IT SEEMED AS THOUGH EVERYTHING WORKED CORRECTLY FOR THE REST OF THE VACATION. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER BY EMAIL INQUIRING ABOUT THE RECALL AND OF COURSE JUST GOT THE "I'M SORRY WE'RE WORKING ON IT, BUT AT THIS TIME WE DON'T HAVE THE PARTS TO FIX IT." THAT WAS ONLY THE FIRST INCIDENT!!! IT HAPPENED AGAIN AROUND 03/15/15 - SAME EXACT PROBLEMS HAPPENED! ONCE AGAIN I CONTACTED CHRYSLER, AND I ALSO CONTACTED MY DEALER, BUT GOT THE SAME EXACT RUN AROUND!! NOT A HAPPY PERSON WITH CHRYSLER!!!

WE HAVE HAD REPEATED ENGINE STALL/POWER STEERING MALFUNCTIONS WITH OUR 2009 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY STARTING IN DECEMBER 2014. (A VERY SIMILAR INCIDENT WHICH REQUIRED $2,518 IN REPAIRS OCCURRED IN 2012). STARTING IN DECEMBER 2014, THE ENGINE REPEATEDLY SHUT-OFF DURING OPERATION. TYPICALLY THIS OCCURS AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 25-45MPH. THE ENGINE SHUTS DOWN, STEERING CAPABILITY IS LOST AND THE AIRBAGS BECOME NO-FUNCTIONAL. THIS RESULTS IN VERY UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITIONS AS CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE. MULTIPLE CALLS HAVE BEEN MADE TO CHRYSLER. THEY STATE THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY UNDER RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE BUT A FIX IS NOT YET AVAILABLE. THE PART IS BEING MANUFACTURED AND MUST GO THROUGH QC PRIOR TO US BEING CALLED TO SCHEDULE A REPAIR. IN THE MEANTIME, THEIR ONLY SUGGESTION IS TO BE SURE NO OTHER ITEMS ARE ON THE KEY FOB DURING OPERATION AND I INFORMED THEM THIS WAS ALREADY THE CASE. THEY WILL NOT OFFER REPLACEMENT VEHICLE ASSISTANCE AND WE HAVE DECIDED THE VEHICLE IS TOO UNSAFE TO DRIVE...WE ARE A FAMILY OF 5 AND I REFUSE TO PUT MY FAMILY AT RISK BY CONTINUING TO USE THIS VEHICLE. AS A RESULT, WE HAVE HAD TO PURCHASE A NEW FAMILY VEHICLE WHILE THE CHRYSLER SITS IDLE. WE CONTINUE TO PAY FOR TAXES AND INSURANCE ON THE VEHICLE WHILE TAKING ON THE UNPLANNED EXPENSE OF NEW CAR PAYMENT. MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS AT CONTACTING CHRYSLER CARE HAVE GONE UNANSWERED. EVERYTIME I CONTACT THEIR ORGANIZATION, I REMAIN ON HOLD FOR 45 MINUTES OR MORE. I WOULD BE HAPPY TO ASSIST IN ANY WAY POSSIBLE TO HELP GET THIS COMPLAINT HEARD AND AN ACTIONABLE RESPONSE FROM CHYRSLER. I AM OUTRAGED THAT AN ORGANIZATION CAN BE SO IRRESPONSIBLE BY IGNORING SAFETY ISSUES IN ITS PRODUCTS. *TR

DURING THE PAST WEEK, FIVE DIFFERENT TIMES WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE HAS SHUT OFF, LOSING ALL POWER INCLUDING POWER STEERING. THE CAR NEEDED TO BE PUT INTO NEUTRAL AND RESTARTED. THIS OCCURRED EVEN AFTER REMOVING ALL ADDITIONAL KEYS AND KEYCHAINS FROM THE KEY FOB. THE INCIDENTS OCCURRED AT VARIOUS SPEEDS RANGING FROM 25-60, INCLUDING ONCE ON A HIGHWAY/HIGHWAY ENTRANCE RAMP. TWO DEALERS WERE CONTACTED REGARDING RECALL AND BOTH STATED THAT RECALL PARTS ARE ON BACKORDER WITH NO EXPECTED DATE OF ARRIVAL. AN ATTEMPT TO CONTACT CHRYSLER GROUP RECALL ASSISTANCE CENTER DIRECTLY WAS MADE, UNFORTUNATELY AFTER SITTING ON HOLD FOR OVER AN HOUR, NO CONTACT WAS MADE. *TR

IN DEC 2013, WAS DRIVING TO PARK AND RIDE. MULTIPLE LIGHTS WERE DISPLAYING ESP AND TRACTION. WHATEVER WAS GOING ON IT EFFECTED FORWARD MOTION AND SEEMED AS IF THE VEHICLE WAS CONTROLLING ITSELF TO GO FORWARD WHILE MAKING GRINDING SOUNDS. IT CLEARED UP AS I CONTINUED TO DRIVE. I CONTACTED DEALER AND PARKED UNTIL I, CAREFULLY/SLOWING DROVE IT INTO SERVICE DEPARTMENT. THEY CALLED ME AT WORK AND TOLD ME IT WAS CLKSPRING--STEERING ANGLE/CLOCKSPRING, PART # 56046497AD AND THE COSTS ABOUT $800.00! I STATED WAS IT A POWERTRAIN ISSUE AND WAS TOLD NO. NOW, FEBRUARY 2015, THE SAME ISSUE SEEMS TO BE OCCURRING. THE TRACTION LIGHT IS FLASHING, ESP LIGHT IS LITE. IF I STEP OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND CLOSE THE DOORS, THEY LOCK ON THEIR OWN (THAT MAY BE A SEPARATE ISSUE, NOT SURE). *TR

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, WHEN YOU TURN THE WHEEL, THE CAR SHUTS OFF BUT ALL ACCESSORIES STAY ON AND YOUR FIRST CLUE THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM IS THAT YOU SUDDENLY HAVE NO POWER STEERING. IF YOU QUICKLY PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND RESTART, EVERYTHING INCLUDING THE POWER STEERING COMES BACK ON. IT HAS HAPPENED TO US 5 TIMES AND THE LAST TIME, I WAS GOING AROUND A SHARP CURVE AND ALMOST WENT OFF THE ROAD. THE CAR IS NOT SAFE!! THE DEALERSHIP SAYS IT IS AN L-25 RECALL AND THERE ARE NO PARTS. THE CHRYSLER WEB SITE SAYS THERE ARE PARTS BUT WHEN YOU CALL THEM, NO ONE ANSWERS THE PHONE. DEALERSHIP IS NOT OFFERING ANY SOLUTIONS. *TR

I CAME TO A STOP SIGN AND THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF (AS IF THE KEY HAD BEEN TURNED TO THE ACCESSORY POSITION). AFTER TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY INFORMED ME THAT IT WAS AFFECTED BY THE L25/NHTSA 14V-373 RECALL. THIS CAN CAUSE THEN ENGINE TO STOP AT ANY POINT IN TIME (INCLUDING DRIVING WHILE ON A HIGHWAY). THIS IS NOT A CONDITION WHERE THE MINVAN SHOULD BE DRIVEN. IF THIS WERE TO HAPPEN ON A HIGHWAY THE RESULTS COULD BE DEADLY (THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF AND THE SUDDEN LACK OF STEERING AND BRAKES PLUS THE AIRBAGS DEACTIVATING). I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THERE ARE NO PARTS AVAILABLE TO FIX THIS AND THAT I SHOULD DRIVE IT HOME. THIS IS INCREDIBLY UNSAFE AND I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT THIS IS ALLOWED TO HAPPEN. THE RECALL HAS BEEN OUT SINCE JUNE OF THIS YEAR AND I'M BEING TOLD THAT THERE IS NO ETA ON WHEN THE PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE. *TR

MY VEHICLE HAS STALLED OUT TWICE. ONCE JUST AFTER STOPPING AT AN INTERSECTION AND ONCE WHEN TURNING IN MY DRIVEWAY. ON BOTH OCCASIONS, THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT AND I COULD NOT CONTROL THE DIRECTION OF THE VAN. THANKFULLY THE BRAKES DID NOT GO OUT. THIS IS VERY WORRISOME TO ME, ESPECIALLY IF IT COULD OCCUR AT HIGHER RATES OF SPEED. I DID TAKE IT IN TO A DEALER FOR THIS ISSUE, ALTHOUGH NOTHING WAS DONE FOR IT. CONSTANTLY WORRIED IT COULD HAPPEN AGAIN.

THE FIRST INCIDENT OCCURRED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION GOING ABOUT 40 MILES AN HOUR WHEN THE ENGINE SHUT OFF WITH POWER STEERING AND BRAKE PRESSURE LOSS. THE ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE MOVED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITHOUT INCIDENT. RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND IT OPERATED AS NORMAL. THE SECOND INCIDENT OCCURRED WHILE MOVING THE VEHICLE AROUND 5 MILES AN HOUR WHEN THE ENGINE SHUT OFF AGAIN. POWER STEERING AND BRAKES FAILED TO WORK. THE THIRD INCIDENT OCCURRED TRAVELING ABOUT 30 MILES AN HOUR WITH THE SAME ISSUES AS ABOVE. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN AT THE DEALER TWICE WITH NO SOLUTION AT THIS TIME. THERE IS A RECALL AFTER THE TIMEFRAME OF THIS VEHICLE MANUFACTURE FOR THE IGNITION MODULE 11V139000. IT WOULD SEEM THE RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXTENDED AS THERE ARE MORE ISSUES RELATED TO THE ENGINE STOPPING FOR MORE THAN JUST THE 2010 MODEL. *TR

SEVERAL TIMES I HAVE BEEN DRIVING AND MY ENGINE STOPS FOR NO REASON. IT HAS HAPPENED HAS I WAS MERGING ONTO A HIGHWAY AND INSTEAD OF INCREASING MY SPEED I WAS SLOWING DOWN. IT HAS HAPPENED AT RANDOM TIMES AND IN JUST NORMAL DRIVING SITUATIONS. THE MOST RECENT WAS DRIVING FROM RHODE ISLAND BACK TO CT AND 2 HOURS INTO THE DRIVE THE CAR STOPPED AS I WAS TURNING LEFT AT A LIGHT FROM ONE BUSY ROADWAY ONTO ANOTHER WITH QUITE A FEW CARS SURROUNDING ME. MOST OF THE TIME THAT THIS HAPPENS I HAVE TO PULL OVER (WITHOUT POWER STEERING) AND PUT THE CAR IN PARK TO RESTART THE CAR. EACH TIME I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DO SO SAFELY BUT IT IS A VERY SERIOUS CONCERN AND I USUALLY HAVE MY KIDS IN THE CAR WITH ME. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO REPAIR THIS BECAUSE THIS IS OBVIOUSLY NOT THE FIRST COMPLAINT ON THE ISSUE. *TR
