2008 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY Engine Problems

Engine shut down while driving. Will restart if put back into park and restart. Has happened two times in the past.

T & C 2008 VAN UNINTENDED SUDDEN ACCELERATION happened 2x. Service dept. Of the dealer says no problem found but it happened again. Today I am at dealer service again.Hope they solve the problem, cause several incident like this occured aluready.04

Multiple times the van will intermittently stall while driving down the road or stopped in traffic. First the dash lights flicker, speedometer and rpm gages go to 0, and warning lights such as esp, traction, abs, airbag, battery etc flicker on and off and occasionally hear almost a spark through radio speakers, then everything shuts off, both electrical and mechanically. When that happens I lose power steering and cannot get my hazards or brake lights to work. One time I could barely press the brake pedal, or steer and it was at night which means the vehicle was completely dark with no kinds of lights at an intersection with my 2 children and myself inside. So very scary! It gives me the worst anxiety to drive it and I'm too scared to sell it as I feel I would be knowingly selling a very unsafe vehicle. Occasionally the sliding side...

Unknown. Vehicle abruptly shuts off. Usually before full operating temperature is reached. It has happened dozens of times. It most recently happened today. Always when you remove your foot from the throttle at lower speeds. You can watch the tach go to 0 when your foot comes off. No warning, no consistency. It has never occurred while accelerating. Most events happened going around a curve, occasionally while slowing to turn into a lot or at an intersection. No problem at highway speeds. The most challenging time though is taking your foot off the gas going around a curve and it quits. Response is to rapidly slip the transmission into neutral and turn the key to start. It usually fires right back up. If you have no situational awareness however this could lead to a really bad outcome. This has been going on for over 100,000 miles. Have 192 now but...

I was leaving my place of residence and was navigating a 90 degree left hand turn while in drive at approximately 10mph. As I began to attempt to straighten the wheel and accelerate out of the turn I realized I had no steering and the car wouldn't accelerate. The engine had stalled and the steering wheel was locked while turned to the left. No warning lights or messages were present even after I started the vehicle back up. I feel incredibly lucky this happened at a low rate of speed instead of at highway speed. It has never done anything like this before and we cannot figure out what caused the engine to stall or why there was no steering when it happened.

The vehicle died while driving six times. One additional time the vehicle died after being stopped at home. Each time the vehicle lost all power functions, steering and breaking. It just came to a stop, dead. On two of the occurrences a tow was required to move the vehicle to the dealership for repair. On five of the occurrences the driver was able to restart the vehicle. On three occasions the vehicle was evaluated by repair facilities and they could not reproduce the stoppage. One time at QualTech Automotive Service in Austin and two times at Nyle Maxwell in Austin. The vehicle did pass the Texas Safety inspection in November 2021. The stoppage problem occurred over the last nine months with the latest stoppage being on 12/23/21.

I was driving in Chattanooga Tn when it happened the first time. But the van just shut off so I made it to a parking lot turned the switch off then it started right back up and it happened again on my way home. It has happened multiple times. The the Ecm light came on so I had it replaced now the engine won't do anything at all

The contact owns a 2008 Chrysler Town and Country. The contact stated while driving 40 MPH, the brake pedal was depressed to make a left turn, and the vehicle shut-off without warning. She exited the vehicle and flagged down two fellow motorists for assistance. While they attempted to push the vehicle, the contact was able to restart the vehicle and resumed normal driving. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was 152,669.

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 doesn’t work properly. d

CAR ENGINE SHUTS DOWN WHEN IN DRIVE. DRIVES FINE, WHEN I STOP AT LIGHT OR GO VERY SLOW IT JUST SHUTS DOWN.

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

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.

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.

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 HAPPENED PERIODICALLY 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...

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...

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.

VARIOUS ODB CODES INVOLVING TIPM ISSUES, WHICH HAS NOW PROGRESSED TO VEHICLE STALLING WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND CITY STREETS.

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.

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 ENGINE STALLS/SHUTS DOWN WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS OCCURRED ABOUT 12 TIMES IN THE PAST 4 MONTHS, AND IS BECOMING MORE FREQUENT. SHORTLY AFTER STARTING THE CAR WHEN DRIVING THE ENGINE TURNS OFF AND POWER STEERING IS LOST AND BRAKING BECOMES DIFFICULT. IT IS SOMEWHAT RANDOM BUT MORE PROMINENT ON COOLER AND HUMID DAYS. THE RECALL FOR THE BAD IGNITION KEY FOB SWITCH WAS COMPLETED 5 YEARS AGO AND SHOULD NOT BE THE ISSUE.

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...

WHILE DRIVING THIS VAN, THIS VEHICLE STOPS IN MIDDLE OF THE DRIVING AND STEERING LOCKS. I CANNOT MOVE CAR 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

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.

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. WHILE DRIVING 35-40 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND STALLED. ALL THE INSTRUMENT PANEL INDICATORS WERE ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THOMAS DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP (9604 INDIANAPOLIS BLVD, HIGHLAND, IN 46322, (219) 924-6100) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000. *DT*JB

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

WHILE DRIVING IT SHUTS OFF.

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 UNABLE TO CORRECT.

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 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.

OIL DRAIN PLUG & OIL PAN STRIPPED. IT CAUSE ENGINE OIL LEAK

WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF WITHOUT WARNING. THIS HAS OCCURRED ON 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.

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.

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 VAN SHUT OFF WITH NO WARNING AT ALL. MY KIDS MOTHER SAID THAT TWO TRACTOR TRAILER MISS THEM BY A HAIR PIN DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE 95 SOUTH IN VA. SHE HAD NO STEERING CONTROL AND BRAKES AT ALL. COULD NOT RESTART THE ENGINE AFTER SHE PUT IT IN NEUTRAL. HAD TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP IN THE CENTER LANE OF A THREE LANE HIGHWAY 95S . SHE VERY SCARE AFRAID THAT SOMEONE WAS GOING TO PLOW IN BACK OF HER OUR TWO KIDS. SHE HAD TO PUT THE GEAR SHIFT BACK IN PARK TO RESTART THE VAN. YOU EDUCATED PEOPLE KNOW THIS IS HAPPEN ALL ACROSS AMERICAN AND YOU LETTING PEOPLE PUT THERE LIFE IN DANGER ,WHY BECAUSE BIG CHRYSLER COMPANY RULES.
