My wife was driving, the vehicle stalled without warning. She was approachign a stop sign intersection when this occurred. All 3 of my kids in the car. The electronic stability control lights came on, power steering and brakes were affected. Vehicle was turned off and restarted. Very dangerous. There are multiple train crossings in my area and my wife and I drive these routes frequently. This seems to be a common concern based on the complaints and needs to be resolved before someone is seriously injured or killed. I urge anyone who experiences this to report it to the NHTSA. I urge the NHTSA to open an investigation and initiate a recall on this matter which could potentially affect thousands of drivers (vehicle owners) as well as the public at large.

When trying to put car in manual mode the shifter doesn't change gears. This causes an issue when trying to shift to lower gears in bad weather. I have read many forums on this issue and it seems as tho it is completely a design flaw. There is a plastic piece that rubs on the wires and shorts them out eventually causing you not to switch gears manually, which can cause an accident in bad weather

2010 Chrysler Town and country will click once, but will not turn over. This issue typically happens when the vehicle has been running for a while, and the engine is hot, or during hotter months. This causes car to not turn on when hot, not over heated, just hot. This has been noted on many other websites for this same year and people believe it has something to do with the transmission sensor not knowing if the car is in park or drive. This has happened to other years causing vehicle to slip into other gears. This could be considered dangerous. This has been occurring on vehicle since three months after purchase from dealer with no check engine lights coming on or any running issues.

For a few months now the van will sometimes not start, even if starting it back up immediately after just driving it. It has died in the middle of the road while driving with no steering capabilities, it hesitates when driving between 35-40 mph. I never know if it's going to start back up after I shut it off, or when it's just going to decide to lock up and die while driving.
I own a 2010 Chrysler Town and country and for 3 months we have been living a nightmare. It powers down while we are driivng it, we lose steering and breaks. It has happened in the middle of intersections, with cars behind us, on hills and coasted backwards and with my children in the van with me. It has spent 3 months in and out of several garages. It has had numerous parts replaced, such as the battery, ABS module, and the PCM. Even after all these parts were replaced and we have spent quite a bit of money to have them fixed it still doens't run properly and shuts down while you are driving it. It is such a safety concern that we won't allow are children to ride in it. So I own $10,000 on a van that I cant take out of my driveway because it isn't safe to be on the road. I have contacted Chrysler with my VIN number and they say there are no complaints about this vehicle currently and no recalls that haven't been satisfied. So I have a loan payment and an unsafe vehicle with no resolution anywhere in sight.

Vehicle stalls while driving the car on city street and highway. No warning and it loses all power. Steering wheel locks and the only thing I can do is brake to stop the car. This has happened 3 times now with my kids in the car with me. Not safe at all and for some reason my VIN is not in the recall about this issue.
Engine shuts off while in motion in drive mode. This happens at any rate of speed, 70 mph to 10 mph, in good weather conditions, on the highway and local streets, driving straight or turning slightly. The ABS module tested bad 9 months ago and was replaced by auto electric specialists of houston. This did not solve the problem. I have not had the ECM replaced. My Chrysler dealership cannot find the problem and has told me to keep driving and to bring the car in right away if the issue happens again. The car scares me!!! it has shut off three times now in the last year. I wonder if this is the same problem that has now been reported with the 2017 Chrysler pacifica?
