2012 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY Complaints

WHEN WE ARE DRIVING ON STREETS, THE POWER SHUTS OFF. I CAN BARELY PULL OVER SINCE THE POWER STEERING SHUTS OFF. THERE IS NO LIGHTS OR ANYTHING. CAR MUST BE SHUT OFF AND TURNED BACK ON TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I HAVE 2 CHILDREN UNDER 2 AND I AM SO WORRIED ABOUT GETTING REAR ENDED. LUCKILY IT'S NEVER HAPPENED ON A HIGHWAY. THE DEALERSHIP BASICALLY SAID IT'S NOT THEIR PROBLEM. MECHANICS CANT FIGURE OUT WHY IT SHUTS OFF . IT ONLY HAPPENED ONCE WHEN WE BOUGHT IT IN THE FALL. NOW THAT ITS WARM IT HAPPENS A LOT

WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK AND WHEN I HAD STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. I HAD NOT TOUCHED ANY BUTTON OR ANYTHING ELSE. IF THIS WERE TO HAPPEN WHILE SOMEONE WAS DRIVING IT WOULD BE A VERY BIG ISSUE.

WHILE DRIVING EVEN A SLOW OR FAST SPEEDS IT HAPPENS. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR MONTHS NO WARNING THE CAR WILL STALL.. I LOST POWER STEERING THAT IS HOW I KNOW THE CAR HAD STALLED. THEN ANOTHER TIME I DID NOT GO ANY WHERE WHEN I HIT THE GAS AGAIN THE THAT IS HOW I KNEW THE CAR STALLED. IT IS A VERY DANGEROUS THING FOR THE CAR TO BE DOING I HAVE BROUGHT IT TO MY MECHANIC ON MANY OCCASION CAN NOT SEEM TO FIND ANYTHING WRONG
