Saturday, December 22, 2018 - we were returning home after visiting out of town relatives for the winter holidays. The van stalled on us (entire family of four plus one aunt-five people total in our van) in the middle of the road! I was a panicking fearing we could all die that instant! we were very lucky to safetly get the van to the side of the road with the rolling momentium the van still had despite the engine turning off, no power steering, and no power brakes! my wife had been telling me (started about five years ago) that the van randomly stalls while in traffic and I had been researching the issue online continuously when I had free time and remembered the random stalling issue. No trouble codes came up when the van stalled on Saturday, December 22, 2018. After reasearching what others have posted online, this issue seems like a class action law suit needs to be filed for it because of the severity of the issue (putting families lives at risk, thats the main purpose of buying a van, to take your family places).
Last week, within a minute or two of refueling and restarting the engine, the car stalled completely - eliminating steering control and making braking extremely difficult, causing me to hit the opposite curb and obstruct traffic. This has occurred at least 7 times in the past 2 years. It has happened immediately as I've exited the pumps at the gas station and also after I've exited the station and turned onto a city street or a highway. One time it happened as I turned onto a freeway on-ramp. It has happened after turning and also while driving straight ahead. I have reported this frightening situation to the Chrysler dealership. They couldn't find anything the matter. When it occurred again, I've taken it to two independent mechanics who also couldn't figure out the problem.
After filling my gandmothers gas tank on her 2007 Town and country we pulled onto the street and the whole car stalled out and I lost control of my steering wheel and breaks. If it hadn't been for quick reaction time on my part. We would have been in a collision. It's never had a problem before. In order to gain control back I had to throw the van in park and then it restarted and drove with no problem home.
About a year ago my 2007 Town and country overheated had to replace a part then the air conditioning went out, burns oil, sliding doors don't work, replaced calipers, have to replace wheel bearings and air bag light stays on.
