At random times, perhaps once every 200 miles average, the engine will suddenly turn off. This usually happens during turns or when speeding up from a stop. When this happens, I lose all power steering and engine control. This has resulted in 4 near-misses while turning corners with other vehicles in the area. The engine starts right back up again, but the vehicle must be put in neutral or park to restart - again, in mid-turn or as traffic is accelerating around me. This issue is listed on the NHTSA recall site (campaign 14V373000), but is not associated with my VIN.
I was driving yesterday with my 3 kids and the van shutdown without warning at highway speeds. It became a very dangerous event since we did not have breaking and very difficult to steer. After, getting to the shoulder, the vehicle would not start again, although it had a full tank of fuel. The key gets stuck in the on position. And it lock the starter in the ignition phase as if I was holding the key on after the car starts. I cycled the key and noticed that if I held it right, it would not lock the starter in the starting position. However, it would not turn on. I saw there were recalls on this vehicle and one about the ignition.
I have had to replace the tipm twice in the 1 year I owned the vehicle. First issue I had was with the vehicle not starting after many attempts while in a undesirable location. The second time the tipm was replaced was after my headlights would either work or not work and sometimes only one headlight would turn on. It was sporadic. This could lead to safety issues.
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.

Took my vehicle in to get the recall that is related to my win module fixed at goldstein in latham, NY and was told it would take approx. A hour and a half. After an hour and a half they come out and tell me that they ordered the wrong part and will have to order the right part. They told me that they would call me when they receive the part and I haven't heard back from them.
Shuts down randomly while driving and loses power steering, difficult to stop. Occurs in any condition or speed. Sometimes traction control warning light comes on right beforehand. Inability to control vehicle after engine shutdown.
Went to start car in the morning would not start up, so I as neighbors for a jump.it took awhile but started. Drive for awhile got battery checked it was good. Came home and cut the car off tried to start again, would not start. Got another jump and was going to the dealership, car cut off in the middle of the street while driving. I was nervous cause cars was behind me and it could have been a bad accident. Sat for awhile and got another jump was able to make it back home. From my reading it sounds like this may be related to the the timp issue that's going on with these vans. I just purchased my van a week ago and haven't enjoyed it because of this issue.
Driving straight 15 mph on residential street, and the vehicle lost power steering, the traction control light came on and the engine went from around 1000 RPM to zero RPM.
While driving the van will just shut off/stall with no warning. Which then locks the steering even if in the middle of turning. Its very dangerous.we have taken it to the mechanic multiple times but they cant figure what the issue is because whatever it is is not throwing a code. It happens every time its driven.
Van randomly turn off while driving without any warning, lost all power steering control and power assisted brake control. This has happens randomly over the past 3 years. Very dangerous and could lead to death if it resulted in a crash. Has always happens when the vehicle has been in motion, has happened at highway speeds, at low speeds, and when turning.
Our 2010 Chrysler Town & Country touring 4.0L V6 has now, on 7 different occasions, just shut off while driving. When this happens, all power is lost...electrical, engine, lights, and the ability to steer and use brakes...everything.
Car turns off completely randomly at a low speed while driving. Turns back on. Its very dangerous. It has happened on streets as while as on the freeway. Not safe while driving, especially with children in the car. I did some research and this happens a lot with this particular vehicle. I have taking it into the dealership 3 or 4 times now. Some people say that the egr valve is the problem. I feel like this needs to be addressed before someone is injured or killed in accident due to this defect.
Van will just shut off while driving. No warning, no lights. Have had the recall fixed twice but problem still hasn't stopped. Doesn't it doesn't matter if the van is cold or warm or what speed. It has done it on the freeway at 70mph. Dealer can not get it to duplicate the problem had if for 3 weeks in the shop. I can not keep driving this vehicle if no one can find what is wrong. Chrysler built the car why can't they find out what's wrong.
