Vehicle randomly shuts off while driving. No warning lights are illuminated. Shutoff can occur at any speed and causes loss of power steering, braking etc. Shutdown requires immediate pull off to the side of the road. Once key is turned off and back on, car restarts.
Catalytic converter is reported to me as needing to be replaced. Check Engine light came on which indicated this error. It’s only at 84k miles. Followed by needing new O2 sensors if the catalytic converter is replaced. Another error was the thermostat which needs replacement. We are looking at over $5k in repairs.
My van will frequently lose power and die while I am driving it, with NO WARNING. I have to pull off and put it either into park or neutral then turn the key again to get it started again. This has happened more than 40 times over the last 15 monnths. My speeds have ranges from 25mpg in town to 65 mpg on the highway.Most recently on Saturday, October 4, 2025.

Couldn't reverse vehicle after buying the vehicle three days ago. My safety and my passengers safety wasn't safe I almost got hit from the front and back trying to reverse the vehicle to go. I can put the vehicle in any other gear and it works but the reverse. i called the vehicle repair shop and bring it in to the shop where I was told they were going to work on the vehicle for free since I only had it for three days. I paid for the warranty part and everything. This the second car I bought from Fett's city motors that been dangerous to operate on roads and highways.
Hard starting mostly in the mornings sometimes in the hot afternoon I have to turn the key several tries to get it to start the most of the rest of the day it’s OK the Ignition seems loose sometimes the key will not pull out right I’ve heard about the recalls on the other years causing the vehicle to shut off while I’m driving I hope this does not happen.Other years of the Chrysler Town an Country was recalled,Same engine same parts.Win ignition was bad.Please don’t let us get seriously injured if the vehicle ever shuts down on us while driving.Many other owners having the same issues.We got many new parts trying to fix.But no luck.But it is now. Narrow down to this problem with the ignition.

The Flexplate/Flywheel cracks every 4 years for us, this is our second repair same part. Dealership says now there is a reinforcement plate. That we have to buy, Seriously, give us a break with a broken Flexplate that is either to thin or made of a inexpense product. IDK. Dealership told my Mechanic they keep a lot on hand because they know it’s a problem. Help Please🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 At least give us the reinforcement plate, for Heavens sake!!! Then come up with a Fix to this ongoing Problem, Please and Thank you... God Bless/SAVE America again, in NC a Jesus name!!!
Confirmed cylinder number 2 misfire. Performed relative compression test and intake trace pull. Confirmed that number two has low compression and is directly affecting cylinder number fives intake pull. removed spark plug and did a compression test on cylinder 2 it had 90psi of compression and the rest of the cylinders were at 148psi of compression. used a bore scope and found cylinder damage in video attached vehicle needs a new engine to correct customers concern. When going up a small incline at 30-45mph engine would stall out. I have 3 little kids and I drive a lot for my job and want to be safe on the road! Also my blind spot detectors have constantly been on since about 75,000 miles. It’s kind of a distraction when you are driving at night.
Starting in 2019 our 2012 Chrysler Town and Country had stalled out while driving. The entire engine cut out with no warning, losing all power steering, and even braking seemed hard. The vehicle would not start and would only crank over. The only solution was to disconnect and reconnect the battery and the vehicle would start. Problem did not happen again until June of 2022 when my wife along with her mother and our two children were traveling to Los Angeles, CA from Wyoming and the vehicle died while driving on the interstate putting them in situation which could have been deadly. Vehicle would not start again after that and only fix was to disconnect and reconnect the battery and vehicle started again. This has happened another 3 times since June of 2022. Our vehicle has approximately 138,000 miles on it and has had no other issues. From reading other...
Vehicle has shut off, while driving, multiple times over the past year and a half. The first instance was Summer 2021. Coming to a stop from a highway exit ramp and the van shut off for no reason. I was eventually able to restart and drive within a few minutes. A few days later, the van would shut down, or try to shut down, every time I would slow to a stop during a 2 hour trip. A few months ago, while driving approximately 35 mph, the van dashboard lights shut off, windshield wipers turned on and all other lights and power steering / brakes shut down temporarily. Luckily we were driving in a straight line because I had no power brakes or steering at that moment. Most recent issue occurred 8/27/2022. Driving van on highway, shut off at a light at bottom of exit ramp. We do not feel...
Van engine dies while driving. Has happened four times at high rate of speed— once on the expressway going 65 mph. Dash lights come on when driving and engine dies. Power steering and brakes go out. No codes. I coast to a stop on side of road. When trying to restart, van will have power, but will not turn over. After about 45-60 minutes, starts and runs normally. Could not replicate problem at auto repair shop. Had it towed first time. Three times since it restarted after sitting an hour. Almost was rear-ended on expressway overpass the last time it died. Children were in the car. Also died in the rain at dusk on county highway. Unsafe location. No warning prior to the failure. Also happened to another driver. First event May 2022. Again June 2022. Again July 2022. Again September 2022.
My town and country will shut off while driving, this is very concerning to me I have 4 children with me at all times. I can be going 10 miles down the road and it will shut off atleast 5 times. I live in the mountains so getting it out of the road is an challenge at most times. The other day I was going thru a green light and it shut off. Luckily it had just enough roll to get it out of the intersection and kinda off the interstate. It just does it no warning at all shuts off I loose breaks steering everything! IT IS VERY DANGEROUS!!!
2012 Chrysler Town&Country My 2012 Town and Country has randomly stopped on me three times in April and May of 2022. The car shuts off completely for no apparent reason. The car will not start again until put into park. This was unsafe because I had no control of the car until it rolled to a stop. Fortunately, each time the hazard lights responded and cars behind me went around. The very scary part was not knowing if I would run into the car ahead of me as neither brakes nor steering worked. I took it to my dealership and told them the problem. They said they discovered there was faulty wiring and repaired it at the cost of just nearly $700. I picked up the car. I drove it for under an hour and it stopped in the middle of a busy street. I took the car back to...
The External Fuel Pump Relay has failed causing stalling conditions while driving and starting problems. Along with that, it has drained the battery due to not turning the fuel pump off after the car is turn off. The part was recalled on the Jeep and Durango models with the same 3.6L engine. There have been many reports of this online with Town and Country and Dodge Caravan models with the 3.6L and 5.7L engines.
The bearings in the rockers went bad and allowed the rockers to make contact with the camshafts. The camshafts are bad and the rockers are bad. There is metal in the oil system now.

MY VAN NEEDS A NEW TIPM. THIS IS A RECALL FOR SOME CHRYSLER VEHICLES UNDER P54/NHTSA 14V-530. WHY DOES THIS NOT INCLUDE ALL CHRYSLER VEHICLES? THE VAN STARTS INTERMITTENTLY. SOMETIMES WITHOUT ISSUE OTHER TIMES TAKES MINUTES AND SEVERAL ATTEMPTS.
WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK AND WHEN I HAD STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. I HAD NOT TOUCHED ANY BUTTON OR ANYTHING ELSE. IF THIS WERE TO HAPPEN WHILE SOMEONE WAS DRIVING IT WOULD BE A VERY BIG ISSUE.
WHEN WE ARE DRIVING ON STREETS, THE POWER SHUTS OFF. I CAN BARELY PULL OVER SINCE THE POWER STEERING SHUTS OFF. THERE IS NO LIGHTS OR ANYTHING. CAR MUST BE SHUT OFF AND TURNED BACK ON TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I HAVE 2 CHILDREN UNDER 2 AND I AM SO WORRIED ABOUT GETTING REAR ENDED. LUCKILY IT'S NEVER HAPPENED ON A HIGHWAY. THE DEALERSHIP BASICALLY SAID IT'S NOT THEIR PROBLEM. MECHANICS CANT FIGURE OUT WHY IT SHUTS OFF . IT ONLY HAPPENED ONCE WHEN WE BOUGHT IT IN THE FALL. NOW THAT ITS WARM IT HAPPENS A LOT

I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE IN MARCH OF 2016 FOR THE PURPOSES OF TRANSPORTING 2 DISABLED FAMILY MEMBERS. FIRST, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS COMING ON AND STATED THAT THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR WE'RE NOT WORKING. WHEN I WOULD DRIVE WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE WOULD JUST SHUT OFF I FEARED GETTING HIT BY OTHER VEHICLES. THEN THE FUEL PUMP RELAY WOULD STAY ON AFTER SHUTTING VEHICLE OFF UNTIL IT WOULD DRAIN THE BATTERY. AFTER, NOW MY VEHICLE CRANKS BUT DOESN'T START AT ALL. THIS IS A HAZARD AND DANGEROUS WHAT I AM AFRAID OF IS THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THESE VEHICLES AND THE ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN LOOKED AT BY THE PROPER DEPARTMENT OR AUTHORITY. I ALSO BROUGHT THIS ISSUE TO CHRYSLER WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND THEY SAID THEY CAN NOT ASSIST WITH THE ISSUE AND NO RECALLS HAVE BEEN PUT IN PLACE MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN PARKED...
2012 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY COMPLAINT 2/2 VEHICLE WOULD HAVING A HUMMING AND WHIRRING SOUND COMING FROM IT THAT WOULD CEASE ONLY WHEN THE BATTERY IS DEAD OR TERMINAL REMOVED. THE LIGHTS WOULD KILL THE BATTERY DESPITE BEING LEFT IN OFF POSITION. THE VEHICLE CURRENTLY WAS TAKEN TO THE STORE FOR THE CHANGE OF A TIPM DUE TO SMELLING A VERY HOT BURNING SCENT AND THEN IN STOP WHIRRING SOUND ALONG WITH DISPLAY IS HOT IN RED ON SCREEN. THE ACTUAL SCREEN AND MIDDLE CONTROL PANEL TO HOT TO TOUCH. THE VEHICLE TIRE SYSTEM SIGNAL WOULD OCCUR RECURRENTLY AND IT WOULD CAUSE ONE TO HAVE CONTINUOUSLY CHECK TIRES EVEN IF THEY WERE FINE AND SOMETIMES THE VEHICLE WOULD NEED AND OTHERS NOT. THE VEHICLE WAS LEFT WITH THE DEALER TO CHANGE A TIPM AND WORK ON THE FUEL PUMP NOT STOPPING EVEN WITH NO KEY IN THE VEHICLE AND CHANGE...
2012 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO ENGINE FAILURE. *LD *JS
DOOR CAUGHT FIRE WHILE DRIVING, SMOKE EVERYWHERE, SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER HOOD.
WHILE IN MOTION ON A FREEWAY AT FREEWAY SPEEDS MY VAN JUST STALLED. THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON FIRST AND THEN IT JUST STALLED. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER SAFELY. I CALLED FOR A TOW BECAUSE THE VAN WOULD NOT START AFTER THAT, IT JUST KEPT CRANKING AND WOULD NOT TURN OVER. THE REPAIR SHOP WAS ABLE TO START IT THE NEXT DAY AND SAW A CODE P061C. WHICH MEANS IT WOULD BE 5 DIFFERENT PROBLEMS. THEY ARE KEEPING IT TO DRIVE IT AND HOPEFULLY GET IT TO STALL AGAIN. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE, WHAT IF MY KIDS WITH WITH ME AND WE CRASHED. HOW MANY COMPLAINTS WILL THERE BE BEFORE SOMEONE STEPS IN TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. THERE HAVE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS FOR THIS SAME ISSUE. HOPEFULLY SOMETHING IS DONE BEFORE SOMEONE DIES.
AFTER RECEIVING MULTIPLE CHECK ENGINE NOTIFICATIONS FOR "ENGINE MISFIRE", THE DEALERSHIP DETERMINED THAT ALL THE LIFTERS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. WE HAD THE WORK DONE, AND 1 YEAR LATER THE SAME CODES HAVE RETURNED.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE MADE A LOT OF NOISE WHEN AT A STOP. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED AND REPLACED THE FLYWHEEL THAT WAS CRACKED. THE CONTACT WAS UNCERTAIN IF THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 130,000.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE CHECK ENGINE SENSOR ILLUMINATED AND SMOKE WAS PRESENT COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE OVERHEATED AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE AND VIBRATE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 168,000. THE VIN WAS INVALID.
MULTIPLE TIMES THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED AND COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN WHILE IN USE. MY FATHER HAD IT STALL TWICE WHILE ON THE FREEWAY AT FREEWAY SPEEDS. I HAVE RECENTLY HAD THE VEHICLE STALL WHILE IDLING AT STOP LIGHTS AND STOP SIGNS WHEN TRYING TO PROCEED FORWARD. WE ALSO HAD AN ISSUE WHERE WE TOOK THE VEHICLE OUT OF PARK AND INTO REVERSE AND USING THE GAS PEDAL WAS NOT PROPELLING THE VEHICLE AT A PROPORTIONAL RATE - AND THEN WHEN PUT BACK IN DRIVE THE SAME THING OCCURRED - THE VEHICLE WAS STILL RUNNING. WE HAD TO PARK, TURN IT OFF, AND RESTART THE VEHICLE WHICH CLEARED THE ISSUE IN THAT MOMENT. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY TURNS OFF WHILE YOU ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF USING IT! WE HAVE OUR BABIES IN THESE VEHICLES WHILE WE ARE USING THEM! I HAVE READ TOO MANY OTHER ACCOUNTS...
ON OUR 2012 TOWN AND COUNTRY , WE HAD REPLACED TIPM ON 2/18. AFTER REPLACEMENT , VEHICLE WOULD STILL TURN OFF IN MID-DRIVE , NOT TURN ON AT ALL NOR TURNOVER MANY TIMES . I BELIEVE IT'S A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE TO NOT HAVE ANY CODES SHOW UP, THE DEALER AFTER REPLACING TIPM ( PARTS AND LABOR $1400), THEY CAN'T FIND ISSUE WHICH CAUSES A LARGE SAFETY CONCERN AS MY GIRLFRIEND AND CHILDREN ARE LEFT TO DRIVE A VEHICLE THAT CAN INTERMITTENTLY TURN OFF MID DRIVE . IT SEEMS MANUFACTURERS KNOW OF THIS PROBLEM BUT NO RECALLS HAVE BEEN ISSUED NOR A FIX .
