2010 Chrysler Town And Country Driver assistance Problems

My A/C Compressor Unit froze up. Tearing my Serpentine Belt. Causing my engine to not run at all. My Driver side window Switch wiring melted. So now my window does not function at all. My vehicle doesn't go over 40mph and no longer shifts properly. Most of my engine wiring has melted. I have replaced the MAP Sensor, but it says there is a problem with the circuit. Also says a problem with the Barometric sensor, which I have yet to find. I had to replace the water pump. My cooling fan has totally stopped working. My key sticks in the ignition. I have replaced the battery and starter. I have also replaced the ignition coil pack, Spark plugs and wires. I thought this may be the reason it was having issues starting, but it still continues. My vehicle will studder or stall out while driving. Causing it to lose power, steering. Sometimes the van just doesn't start. Or it will seem like it wants to start, but it doesn't "fire." Sounding like a starter issue, but the starter has already been replaced

I WAS DRIVING YESTERDAY WITH MY 3 KIDS AND THE VAN SHUTDOWN WITHOUT WARNING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. IT BECAME A VERY DANGEROUS EVENT SINCE WE DID NOT HAVE BREAKING AND VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER. AFTER, GETTING TO THE SHOULDER, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AGAIN, ALTHOUGH IT HAD A FULL TANK OF FUEL. THE KEY GETS STUCK IN THE ON POSITION. AND IT LOCK THE STARTER IN THE IGNITION PHASE AS IF I WAS HOLDING THE KEY ON AFTER THE CAR STARTS. I CYCLED THE KEY AND NOTICED THAT IF I HELD IT RIGHT, IT WOULD NOT LOCK THE STARTER IN THE STARTING POSITION. HOWEVER, IT WOULD NOT TURN ON. I SAW THERE WERE RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE AND ONE ABOUT THE IGNITION.

I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE TIPM TWICE IN THE 1 YEAR I OWNED THE VEHICLE. FIRST ISSUE I HAD WAS WITH THE VEHICLE NOT STARTING AFTER MANY ATTEMPTS WHILE IN A UNDESIRABLE LOCATION. THE SECOND TIME THE TIPM WAS REPLACED WAS AFTER MY HEADLIGHTS WOULD EITHER WORK OR NOT WORK AND SOMETIMES ONLY ONE HEADLIGHT WOULD TURN ON. IT WAS SPORADIC. THIS COULD LEAD TO SAFETY ISSUES.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AND THE VEHICLE DIED. TOTAL LOSS OF CONTROL. PULLED OVER ON THE SIDE OF ROAD. I HAD NO POWER, NO EMERGENCY LIGHTS. AFTER ABOUT 10 MINUTES I STARTED THE CAR AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME. THE SAME PROBLEM PERSISTED AND I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE PROBLEM ANALYZED. THE DEALERSHIP WAS NOT ABLE TO FIND THE PROBLEM AND TOLD ME TO TAKE THE VEHICLE HOME. SINCE THE PROBLEM CONTINUED I RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP THREE MORE TIME AND THEY STILL WERE NOT ABLE TO FIND THE PROBLEM. THE LAST TIME THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE SHOP CALLED THE CHRYSLER CORPORATION AND THEY CALLED THE DEALERSHIP. THE CHRYSLER CORPORATION WAS GIVEN THE SAME STORY. I RESEARCHED ON THE INTERNET TO ATTEMPT TO FIND OUT IF OTHER OWNERS HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS, THERE WERE SEVERAL REPORTED BUT THEIR DEALERSHIPS COULD NOT IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM EITHER. I HAVE NOT USED THE VEHICLE SINCE THE DEALERSHIP CHECKED IT, SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE INQUIRE ABOUT BUYING THE VEHICLE BUT I AM AFRAID TO SELL IT AND HAVE THEM DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY/FREEWAY AT 70MPH AND THE VEHICLE STOPS AND AN ACCIDENT HAPPENS. CAN YOU HELP??????

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR UNEXPECTEDLY CUT POWER TO THE ENGINE. THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT ILLUMINATED. WITHOUT THE ABILITY TO DRIVE I SLOWLY COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND THEN IN DRIVE AGAIN BUT STILL THE GAS PETAL WAS NOT HAVING ANY EFFECT. I HAD TO SHUT THE CAR OFF AND RESTART TO GET GOING AGAIN. THE VAN IS NEW TO US AND HAS HAPPENED TWICE IN THE THREE DAYS WE'VE OWNED IT. THIS IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE AS IT IS A COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING AND I CAN EASILY SEE HOW THIS UNEXPECTED EVENT COULD CAUSE A REAR END COLLISION.

THE FOLLOWING HAS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE LAST OCCURRENCE WAS 4/12/19. ABOUT 5 TO 10 MINUTES ONCE I START DRIVING, THE BRAKES LOCK UP, THE WHEEL LOCKS, THE VAN STALLS, AND THE ORANGE TRACTION LIGHT COMES ON. I TURN THE CAR OFF, PUT IT IN PARK AND THEN RESTART IT. AFTER RESTARTING, IT DRIVES OK. THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 15 TIMES SINCE NOVEMBER OF LAST YEAR. I'VE TAKEN IT TO TWO MECHANICS. ON 4/18/19, THE MECHANIC PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. CODES FOUND WERE P1790 AND C121C. THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED AND HE SAID IF THE PROBLEM REOCCURS THE ENGINE CONTROL MODULE IS FAULTY. THE FIRST MECHANIC ALSO MADE SOME REPAIRS. I'VE SPENT OVER $1000 TRYING TO FIX THIS ISSUE. THERE'S OVER 800 ISSUES ON THIS WEBSITE OF THIS ISSUE. WHAT WOULD IT TAKE TO GET AN INVESTIGATION OPENED?

FOR A FEW MONTHS NOW THE VAN WILL SOMETIMES NOT START, EVEN IF STARTING IT BACK UP IMMEDIATELY AFTER JUST DRIVING IT. IT HAS DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WHILE DRIVING WITH NO STEERING CAPABILITIES, IT HESITATES WHEN DRIVING BETWEEN 35-40 MPH. I NEVER KNOW IF IT'S GOING TO START BACK UP AFTER I SHUT IT OFF, OR WHEN IT'S JUST GOING TO DECIDE TO LOCK UP AND DIE WHILE DRIVING.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR IN TOWN IT HAS NOW (3RD TIME) RANDOMLY SHUT OFF. IT HAS HAPPEN WHILE GOING ANYWHERE FROM 10-40 MPH. THE TRACTION LIGHT FLASHES FOR A QUICK SECOND AND THEN YOU LOSE ALL POWER. THIS INCLUDES THE BREAKS AND STEERING. WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND START THE CAR BACK UP AND IT HAS RUN FINE. IT HAS BECOME MORE FREQUENT RECENTLY AND IS A VERY SERIOUS SITUATION AS WE HAVE AVOIDED AN ACCIDENT TWICE WITH OTHER CARS AROUND US ALMOST HITTING US. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED AS I HAVE READ OVER 200 DIFFERENT REPORTS ON VARIOUS SITES. WE TOOK TO A DEALER AND THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO GET A CODE TO PIN POINT WHAT IS WRONG. I HAVE HEARD THE ERG VALVE WAS REPLACED ON SOME AND IT HAS SOLVE THIS ISSUE. IF CHRYSLER DOESN'T WANT TO LOOK INTO THIS REOCCURRING PROBLEM IT IS HORRIBLE. I HOPE A DEATH DOESN'T HAVE TO OCCUR BEFORE THEY LOOK INTO THIS.
