NHTSA Complaint #10544335 — 2003 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY

ENGINE WILL DIE AT A STOP SIGN. ENGINE WILL ALSO DIE WHILE COASTING BETWEEN 30 TO 65 MPH. THERE IS NO WARNING SIGNS WHEN THIS OCCURS. OBVIOUSLY POWER STEERING WILL BE LOST INSTANTLY. POWER BRAKES WILL ALSO FADE AFTER THREE APPLICATIONS. AFTER BRINGING THE CAR TO A FULL STOP OR PLACING THE GEAR SHIFT LEVER TO NEUTRAL AND CRANKING THE ENGINE IT WILL RE-START. THIS IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM SINCE 2009. CHRYSLER DEALERS ARE UNABLE TO PIN POINT THE PROBLEM DUE TO LACK OF ENGINE SERVICE CODES. OVER TIME THEY HAVE CHANGED FUEL FILTERS, THROTTLE BODY CLEANING, TUNE UPS, CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR REPLACEMENT, BCM RE-LEARN ETC. INTERNET BLOGS INDICATE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH CHRYSLER MINI VANS. SOME TECHNICIANS ATTRIBUTE IT TO ELECTRICAL HARNESS SHORTING. I WONDER IF THERE ARE ANY SAFETY RECALLS OR SERVICE BULLETINS ISSUED BY CHRYSLER. AS OF THIS DATE THE PROBLEM IS ONGOING, ENGINE STALL IS A DAILY OCCURRENCE. *TR
