I bought this 2008 Chrysler Town & Country back in 2014 and have had nothing but problems with it. 3 months after I got the vehicle it blew a line that in return leaked coolant fluid all over the engine compartment. My husband went and got the parts to fix it and clean up the engine bay and added more coolant.

Then the A/C went out and has never worked right since. Then about 2 years ago the other hose blew and leaked fluid all over the engine. This time it was not just the hose that went but the y-shape link. The manufactured part that came from Chrysler actually melted on the inside and then cracked causing it to leak and the hose to break. It was fixed with an aftermarket part.

At the same time the van started having issues wanting to start from time to time and the van doors would open on their own. We took it to have the error codes read and it would not through an error code and the said it was probably the starter. So we replace the starter. It seemed to fix the problem for about a month and then it was back to not wanting to start off and on. We took it back in to see if it would through an error code. Still no error code and they said well maybe it needs a new battery. So we changed the battery. Still no luck. So then we were informed it could be the TIPM. So we replace the TIPM and that didn't work. So we had the van towed to a licensed dealer for them to fix it. They have replace the PCM modular, the wire harness, and some other parts. The van is still a no go.

They have had the van for 8 weeks now and Chrysler has informed them that they must go wire by wire to try to find the issue with it not wanting to start. We are already at just over $3,300 and they said it could be an additional $1,000 or more plus labor and the van is still not throwing an error code as to why the PCM module is not communicating with the TIPM.I have already contacted Chrysler and have not gotten a response back from them yet. At this point I am ready to contact a lawyer to see what can be done about this issue as many other Chrysler owners are having the same issue. I would been even happy if Chrysler would pay for all the repairs to get the van up and running again. As it stands right now I will never own another Chrysler or Dodge product ever again.

I have a 2008 Town & Country and nearly got my wife killed. Driving down I-94 at 70 mph in the passing lane with heavy traffic and the car quits. No steering, no brakes, no anything. Took it to my local garage and since it would not do it for him he could not fix it. It has quit numerous times in town or on country roads where it is less dangerous. We want to make a trip to my son but are afraid to drive it on the highway. All the lights start flashing, the heater fan comes on and off by itself. Can't defrost the windows unless the fan decides to work. Chrysler refuses to give us the time of day let alone help with the problem. Chrysler wants to replace the TIPM for $1,800 but won't say that will fix the problem..............duh!

I do not have money to throw away and it is a dangerous problem, my wife could have been killed not to mention anyone else on the road she may have hit. We are afraid to take our grandkids anywhere with us as the car is dangerous.

Our 2008 Chrysler Town and Country has the same problems as many other have mentioned. All the electrical components going off (horn blowing, wipers, lights flashing). It happens randomly as I'm going down the road or when I open the door, or unlock it with the key FOBs. Most times there's a check engine light with codes that talk about low power from the PCM / ECM and replace ignition switch.

Due to recall we've had the ignition switch and FOBs replaced, but it's still happening. I've also had the PCM / ECM replaced and it's still not fixed. Even after replacing the PCM, the codes read the same. I have found that when the van starts acting up, pop the hood and locate the TIPM (black box on right side of the engine) and I slap the top of it and it all stops for the moment. That leads me to believe it's the TIPM, but based on others' comments, replacing that won't fix it either so I may not do that. Also, the front blower fan tends to cut on and off randomly while the back blower fan is fine. I

've replaced the blower fan motor, blower fan resistor, and the head control unit (twice) and still no fix. I've been told the front blower is routed through the TIPM, while the back blower fan is on a direct relay. Can't direct relay the front because it'll turn on the check engine light. In other words, another one bites the dust and Chrysler gets their money!

Update from Aug 20, 2017: So far, I've had the PCM and TIPM replaced and this has fixed the issue. It would usually start again the next day or so after clearing codes from old TIPM. It's been like two weeks now with no problem at all...We shall see!

Chrysler has a design problem with its TPIM supplier and does not want to admit it. The TPIM was put inside the hottest part of the car (engine compartment) without any heat shielding.

*This design coincided with the same time frame as when Chrysler mad an internal edict to "take $1000" out of every car. Many design decisions were made to cheapen their products (mainly in trim packages) but long term supplier relationships were abandoned for the"cheapest supplier".

My problem (key click/no start) started after I moved to a southern (hot) climate. I was on the beach one 90 degree day the first time it happened. Now, every time the outside temperature is above 80 degrees it happens consistently. So far, I have been able to reset it by shifting to neutral, then back to park and it will start on the first or 2nd try/cycle. I thought that it might be the Neutral-selector switch in the transmission but was able to eliminate that and confirm the TPIM. Within the last year, it's getting worse and now I will randomly lose my Tire Pressure Monitoring function. After a restart, that works fine too.

With all of the problems on this item, it is only the politics of Chrysler, the UAW and judges that are friendly to them that keeps this from being a system (all models) recall.

For over the past year, my 2008 Chrysler Town & Country has experienced several electrical problems. The vehicle can be parked with keys out of ignition or I can be driving down the road and the horn will start blowing along with the wipers and washer fluid spraying. The power sliding doors will work occasionally and when they don’t the windows will not operate. The light for the traction control will come on and off.

The radio will act up. Several times it will turn off and on as well as the C.D. player will jump around to different songs each time I start the vehicle. The blower motor will quit working which is dangerous in winter weather when trying to keep windshield clean.

The tipm has already been replaced twice. Once via recall and The car would not shift or start when out of state and was replaced. car has also stalled in traffic and all of the airbags deployed when driving in town in Stillwater Mn. in July of 2010.Had this happened 10 minutes sooner I would have been on the freeway and probably a nonsurvivor. Airbags were replaced but I still have a scar on my left arm and my daughter an small grandson was with me. The only reason I have not sold this vehicle is because I have nightmares of a family with children buying it. I like lemons just not this one.

Update from Mar 22, 2017: Went to state van and windshield wipers came on also a/c.. car would not start. I disconnected the new battery and let the van sit for a week. When I reconnect the battery The wipers and Ac came on and all the dash lights but the car would not start. I am retired and have no way to get it in for repair or if it does this away from home I,m left walking.I can't sell it knowing a family could end up dead. Are there any lawsuits pending on this vehicle.

The tire system wouldn't register the tire pressure. It would read check TPM. Major World said the tire air pin needed to be replaced. I gave the ok to replace, The problem still existed.

Major Worlds suggestion, you need to replace the module. Ok, fix it. When the job was done another air pin indication went of. Major World said i had to pay for the replacement. I contest. When i brought it to you the problem was with the rear passenger side wheel. It took determination and insistence and they had to admit mechanic error, they concurred.

It still wouldn't register. Major Worlds mechanic said i needed to drive on the highway or faster for 20 minutes straight. It worked for two months.

Are Chrysler manufacturer making certain who carries their name or do they even care.

The van has been in 5 times at RothRock now for electrical issues. It all started with a brake light that stayed on... Week of 6/14/16 drop off van for brake light issue, recall on wireless Ignition module, alignment, and programming of VES system for newly added DVD screen. Recommended the TIPM be replaced. After replacing Brake light was still on. Then recommended replacing the brake light switch. 7/7 finally get van back 7/8 take van back to get the VES System working 8/5 dropped off van for alignment that was never done during the June repair 8/31 Started to have issues with Headlights going out while driving; earliest they could get the van is 9/6 9/7 called to say they could not get to van 9/8 called to say it was the TIPM wiring harness 9/9 called to order TIPM wiring harness part; spoke with gentleman Tuesday 9/13 called to confirm that the TIPM wiring harness part was ordered; it was not; waiting on call back from Corby; initial proposed date was 9/26 but I stated we needed the van fixed before a road trip Week of 9/19 pick of van from dealer 10/2 van lights started shutting off again. 10/5 drop the van back off; but they are not able to get to it. told that it is another connector to the TIPM that was loose. finally fixed on 10/10. 10/15 van shuts off entering the highway with all the idiot lights coming on, horn honking, and wipers going. Thankfully it comes right back on with everything turning off. 10/20 headlights start shutting off intermittently 10/24 son goes out to the van to get it for his ride to school (it was a wet morning as it had been raining) the horn starts blaring, the wipers start running, and the lights turn on. Hitting the key fob does not turn any thing off. Can not start the car. I disconnect the battery to get it to stop. I reconnect the battery and the car seems fine. My wife starts the car and within a few seconds of starting the horn starts blaring, wipers, idiot lights, etc. She turns the key and pulls it out of the ignition but the car stays running. This time when I disconnect the battery nothing happens (car stays running with horn blaring). I then start pulling fuses which works. 10/24 849am call Rothrock and leave messagge 10/24 905am corby calls back and refuses to hav e the van towed; i request a call back from the manager 10/24 1027 I call in after not receiving a call back and leave a message with the service manager 10/24 248pm I call in again after still not receiving a call back and leave a message with the service manager 10/26 203pm I call in again after still not receiving a call back and leave a message with the service manager; I post on google maps review asking what I need to do to get service

WE WERE TOLD WE HAD A FAULTY TIPM ABOUT A YEAR AGO. WE BEGAN HAVING ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS SUCH AS LIGHTS FLASHING, WINDSHIELD WIPERS GOING OFF AND ON IN PARK OR DRIVE, DINGING NOISE CONSTANTLY LIKE YOUR DOOR IS LEFT OPEN. WE GOT AROUND THE ISSUE BY UNHOOKING BATTERY AND USING REMOTE START.

CHRYSLER HAD A RECALL FOR A FOBIK WHICH WE GOT REPLACED LAST WEEK AND THEY REFLASHED THE SYSTEM. NOW THE VAN IS UNDRIVEABLE, IF IT WILL START. SOMETHING CONSTANTLY RUNS THE BATTERY DOWN. ALL THE SAME ISSUES ARE BACK AND WONT SHUT OFF: FLASHING LIGHTS, WIPERS ON, LIGHTS FLASHING, AND DINGING. ALSO THE SLIDING DOORS WON'T OPEN AND THE SEATS WON'T WORK. ANYTHING ELECTRICAL WILL NOT WORK. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. I WENT ON LINE TO SEE THAT THIS IS A TYPICAL ISSUE WITH CHRYLER AND BELIEVE THIS FAULTY PART SHOULD BE RECALLED.
