I was at Walmart and the key wouldn't come out of the ignition.
It would start back up, but I tried to start and turn off the ignition a few times. The key still stayed in the ignition, until I was able to get home.
Over the past 4 weeks, my 2010 Chrysler Town and Country randomly won't start. This is not a problem that is at the start of the day. I will have used it for a couple hours and then suddenly it won't start. There are no sounds, no dash lights, no interior lights. We replaced the battery the first time it happened. It was good for almost 2 weeks and suddenly wouldn't start. We wiggled the battery cables and it returned to life and we were able to start it. So, when we got home, we cleaned everything and tightened everything.
A week later, it suddenly would not start. I popped the hood and the headlights came on. I shut the hood and jumped in the car to start it and everything was black again. I reopened the hood and tried to jiggle the battery cables. There was basically no movement. I left the hood open and got in the car and stepped on the brake while trying to start it and it came to life and started. It was a bitter cold night and I was alone in a dark parking lot. This was seriously not funny.
The next day we cleaned and checked everything and it is running fine. But, I don't know for how long. Googling shows that this is a very common problem with these cars. There needs to be a fix/recall.
