Chrysler Minivan Recall: Risk of Sudden Engine Shut Down

• TarahFebruary 19, 2024 at 11:37 am

  My 2011 Town and Country is having same issues. Shuts off while driving. Lose power steering and brakes. Will start back up if put in neutral. If the same issue is recalled in the 2008-2010 then why not the 2011? Same parts used!!! Please help!

• DorisJanuary 14, 2024 at 9:40 pm

  My 2013 Chrysler stopped running in the middle of traffic tonight. Chrysler needs to stand behind their cars and fix the problem before someone gets hurt. The Chrysler town and country vans need to be recalled and the problem fixed for the safety of everyone traveling on the roads behind the Chrysler town and country vans.

  I have a 2013 Chrysler Town and Country with this same issue, was told it was the WIN module or TIPM and I'd be looking at roughly $3000 to replace, which I cannot afford. It is unfortunately getting worse and at times becoming very unsafe as it will die when I'm trying to turn or go through an intersection.

I think with the amount of complaints about this same thing, there should be a recall from Chrysler about it.

  I have a 2016 Town and Country and it seems since they replaced the transmission in 2021, the car started to jerk then shut off when I come to a stop. It happen about 6 times.

  My 2018 grand caravan turns of on every stop sign or red light. I strongly believe it's a manufacturer problem.

  Our 2015 town and country engine shuts down when driving..this is my wife's van she called me and said it did it again this morning and twice yesterday our mechanic checked and found no codes because it also died on way to church Sunday. Chrysler needs to fix this before someone has a serious wreck..any info would be helpful thanks Mike feb.19 2022 .

  I have experienced my 2016 town and country shutting off on me in the middle of traffic twice now very scary. I was just getting off the freeway thank God I wasn't on it, and all if sudden it just turns off and the Stirring will locked up. So I had to turn off and turn back off real quick. Now I'm scared to drive it on the freeway

Today 11/3/20 my wife experienced a sudden shutdown in the fast lane 321@ the Milligan hwy intersection. My pregnant granddaughter and 18 month old great grandson were in the car when it was struck hard in the rear as Carole struggled to get control and off the road. Granddaughter went to the hospital by order of her gynecologist for observation of the unborn baby. I had my mechanic check for computer codes but there were none! This top of the line van has 26000 miles on it and is a dangerous and unsafe vehicle. Any legal help out there? Not found any recalls but many cases online of Chrysler engine shutdown. There is a police report on file with the Elizabethton, TN PD.

  Bought a used 2014 town and country and it just shut down as I was driving 3 times in 2 days. Very scary and I'm going to call the dealer tomorrow to see about any recalls etc. I want a safe car and already paid a fortune and now have to pay for tests??? Anyone know of any class action suit aghast Chrysler. We csnnnot let them get away with this as it's a very dangerous situation to ignore.

I wasn't in my van alone. Hubby and kids were with me. Extremely scary. Brought it to my mechanic 3X and put on the diagnostic system and to a liscenced Chrysler Dealership to be diagnosed and nothing has come up. I am scared to drive my van!! That is not a safe feeling. It has happened a few times. What's the problem and how do I fix it?? HELP!!

  I have the same problems with my 2003 T&C. It stalls while driving at any speed and also while parked. Sometimes it starts, sometimes it doesn't (until the mechanic looks at it, then it starts every time!). No one can figure it out and I don't dare leave town! I have had parts replaced and nothing is working!

  I can't believe I'm just now seeing this site. I've contacted Chrysler directly last year due to this problem. We've had our van in 2 different shops, been without it for weeks, paid for a rental car...all for them to tell us "they can't duplicate the issue". Unbelievable. I want to get rid of this thing, but hate to give the issue to another person so we feel we're stuck with it.

Today I moved my vehicle from the driveway to the edge of the road to pressure wash. Went to move it back, wouldn't start. Thought it was the battery, so I had my brother in law jump it with a jump box. It started and then stalled out. We tried to start it again and it started smoking from left front of the van. My husband got home, jumped it again, it started up fine and has since. Battery tested fine. So confused, thinking a possible electrical issue. Concerned because of risk of fire, or possible shutting down at inappropriate times ^as mentioned above. Did any of you experience any of these issues prior to stalling out?

• ReyJanuary 12, 2015 at 7:01 pm

  this is still an issue today. Purchased a 2010 T&C from Leith Chrysler, Raleigh, NC with 88k miles. Within 2 months of buying the used car, I am having the same issue. Dealership is telling us basically too bad so sad since they can't duplicate the problem. WE JUST BOUGHT THE CAR LESS THAN 90 DAYS AGO....WTF!!!!

Initially the water pump and thermostat were replaced and the radiator flushed. Now, the heater hose assembly, which by the way isn't just one simple piece but whole bunch of hoses (according the service department), which will now cost me $359.22 and already cost me $500+ (thankfully the water pump was under warranty, we were just shy of 100, 000 miles. Now we are not. This post is not only about the above information, but regarding the on-going similar issues with most people that have already posted. The lovely van shutting off going down the highway. It's done it at least 10-12 times since we've owned the van. Of course the "recall" for the ignition/electrical switch was "fixed" or rigged from how I see it, we can barely pull the key fob out now. AND IT STILL SHUTS OFF GOING DOWN THE ROAD. The service department just told me today that it sounds like this infamous WIN MODULE but that's not part of the recall. How convenient that what appears to be an on-going issue after the switch is replaced that Chrysler hasn't owned up to the fact that maybe it's the WIN MODULE that's defective???? Perhaps? To get that lovely fixed is going to cost us $598.34 and I'm rather sure none of that is labor. I find it rather crappy that the simple recall isn't fixing the problem, yet no one admits that it's the WIN Module that's defective. How many MVA's will it take before Chrysler adds it to the recall list?

  As stated above, this recall has now been expanded to include years 2008-2010. They issued the recall July 1st, 2014. Check it out on the NHTSA website. And everybody else with model years not included make sure to file a complaint with the NHTSA.

There are currently no "recalls" regarding this problem and after reading all of the notes above that the vehicle can actually shut down on me while driving.......................I am scared to drive it and very upset that I bought it. I will keep you updated on my results. Chrysler's Customer Service number is 800-992-1997 if you have not called about your vehicle issues, call them and get a case number.

Sensors have been replaced yet the problem still exists. There is no rhyme or reason as to when it will happen. I can be going 15 mph or 75 mph, it does not matter. I have been turning left into traffic or on the express way. This is dangerous and can not be fixed. Chrysler KNOWS THIS IS A PROBLEM, yet they ignore this major safety concern Chrysler MUST take these vans off the road.

  I just stumbled up on this thread. I own a 2006 T&C. Engine shut off while going around 65 mph on freeway in 2009. Last year, again while driving around same speed, all dash lights started going off and all dial needles started erroneously going back and forth. Both times I asked the dealer to check, and they couldn't find anything wrong!

It would be no ones fault but the car companies

Now I have a case number and no one is seems to be doing anything to get this fixed. I had no idea how many vehicles there are with this issue until I cam on the internet. They act like I am the only one with this issue yesterday I came close to being hurt bad when though engine shut off while driving on very busy rd. Screech of brakes every where. I was literally shaking. I think it is a crime that they don't value a persons life in there vehicles. They have a recall but only goes back to 2009. How about our van?

  My Chrysler Town and Country 2009 went crazy on me, wipers would not stop, windows would not open, nothing on panel would work! Took it to dealership they "fixed it" by charging 1000.00 and putting in a Tipton. So it worked for about a week then same thing again! Now they say it is the cluster and want to charge again!!!!! why should we pay when they never fixed the problem.

Now they say it is the cluster and want to charge again!!!!! why should we pay when they never fixed the problem. Plus they have had van for about 15 days and just now say they think it is the cluster. Well I did my own research and after seeing a video on YouTube, I think it is the WIN module. I think they should pay me for finding the problem!!!! I am going in tomorrow and making sure they fix what is wrong, not just randomly fix things and charge for it! Who in the car service field does not know that a cluster does not have a darn thing to do with air conditioner!!! These people need to be better trained by Chrysler before becoming an authorized service center.

But SAFETY FIRST. So now we WILL NOT be purchasing another Chrysler.

In the past month I have taken it back to the shop twice with the problem of the engine just shutting off. At first it would shut off when I hit a slight bump in the road and would only happen once in a while. It has shut off now over five times as I turn into the highway and most recently the engine just shut down in the middle of the four lane with traffic close behind. My daughter-in-law and grandchildren were in the car and could have easily been hurt. Because the dealership has been unable to duplicate the problem, they have not been able to repair it. Because I carry my grandchildren with me , I do fear for their safety. Since the problem doesn't happen every day, I'm not sure how to get it repaired.

  Same thing happened so many times to me and my son too on highway we are lucky so far and it happened again today. When contacted dealer they said no recall and there is no problem

This beautiful car was bought and shipped from Cincinnati, Ohio. I will call the local dealership here on Kauai and see if they can help.

  I have a 2013 caravan and it too has been shutting off on me while driving. They are yet to find the problem and it has been in the shop 4 days now. Don't know what to do

• YommyMarch 14, 2013 at 3:20 pm

  Hello, Please, I have a problem with my car. When I start the engine of my car, the engine goes off sometimes and when I start it again, it comes on. Secondly, I could be driving and suddenly, the engine may go off, I will have to put it on park and start it again. What could be responsible for this? My car type is a Town and Country Chrysler, 1998/99 Model. I await your reply. Thank you. Yommy.

• TawnyaFebruary 8, 2013 at 2:26 pm

  I have a 2008 Chrysler Town & Country and have also had problems with the door closing on me, thank god it was not my children. We have went through brakes and rotors, the engine just dies all the time and has almost caused a accident. Also it burns oil like crazy, very frustrated!

• chrisJune 12, 2012 at 11:47 pm

  my wifes town and country 1999 did this on the freeway today just shut down no steering and no breaks .this needs to be investigated. american familys should feel safe driving american cars.instead we consider buying our next car from forieners.

• angeleaMarch 14, 2012 at 12:02 am

  I have a 2006 Chrysler town and country touring and it does the same thing! It has shut off while I was driving and s few times while I was turning. Why hasn't it been recalled and fixed! Make it right Chrysler! You are putting my family in danger!!!

• kimMarch 2, 2012 at 3:45 pm

  Half the Chrysler workers are high on percocet, or drinking booze, it's a wonder their cars even start.......I think that if workers are on some type of medication like the above that alters (opiate), they should not be building cars, or anything else, SAFTY should be the biggest consideration, for other workers and the public safty!

One, was due to driving at night and the console, headlights, shorted out, then windshield wipers came on-had to pull over several times. Dealers could not locate-finally we basically told either repair or give us another car. Car was in shop for couple of weeks-they even brought in service personel from other locations. Turns out the sun visor flip lid had broken and light was staying on-we had earlier taken it in to have visor replaced. What they finally did was literally traced all wiring to best of ability. Finally, they went back to visor installation-turns out that when screwing in bracket to hold visor-wire dropped down and was "nicked"-thus at certain times if hit a bump just right etc, it GROUNDED out all lights and turned on wipers????? They replaced again and viola problem solved..Now, the sudden engine dying-we have suddenly started having that problem dying when just backing up, dying when give gas at traffic light, dying at 20 miles per hours, etc. So hopefully, we will be able to get repaired as out of warranty. So I hope the console situation might be of assistance if you are having that problem.

• DonnaAugust 12, 2011 at 11:47 pm

  Just got the part installed on the recall; now I can hardly turn the key on and when I try to put it in the 'on' position it goes to the 'start' position. Taking it back next week --- the 'recall' for the 'recall' I am calling it. The fix is NOT good. Too bad the engineers don't try parts out before sending them out. These must have been made in Mexico too. NOT HAPPY>

  Just received the notice last week. Not in April as indicated.

First time it shut down was about 6 months ago when we were accelerating to cross a 4 lane highway - it shut off mid way through the lanes and we luckily coasted to the other side - with my two kids in the car. Then in the last two weeks it has happened 3 times. Driving on a highway at 70mph it stopped after a minor bump on the road - with my two kids and their friend in the car; next going over rail road tracks doing 30mph - with one child in the car, then the last time going into a friends driveway that was on a slight incline - with one child in the car. None of which were HARSH road conditions. And we've been told by the dealerships it's going to take months to get an appointment as Chrysler has only made approx 1 key fob a week available to them for replacement. Unacceptable! This has been a known issue for awhile now - this is not how it's suppose to work.

  I have a 2006 dodge caravan and the key will turn while the vehicle is in motion, shouldn't this be recalled as well? It can actually shut on and off while driving..
