2008 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY Complaints

The contact owns a 2008 Chrysler Town and Country. The contact stated while driving 60 MPH, steam was coming from the radiator. The temperature gauge failed to indicate that the engine had overheated. The contact pulled over and discovered that the coolant had leaked out. The contact added water to the coolant reservoir and then drove the vehicle to the residence where the coolant hose was replaced. The dealer and manufacturer were notified of the failure and the contact was informed that he needed pay for a diagnostic test to determine the cause of the temperature gauge failure to indicate that the engine had overheated. The temperature gauge was not replaced. The failure mileage was 59,000.

Suv stalls while driving. I have tried 2 dealers to honor the recall and neither would accept performing the rework required. I called a local dealer here Quirk and they said they do not perform recall work. I called the dealer we purchased the vehicle from and they said it was against their policy to work on cars greater than 10 years old! How can I get this problem fixed?

The contact owns a 2008 Chrysler Town & Country. The contact stated that within the past year the vehicle had stalled several times. The contact stated the traction control warning light was illuminated. The contact was able to park on the side of the road, restarted the vehicle, and continue driving to his destination. The contact took the vehicle to the independent mechanic and was informed that the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired but continued to experience failure. The contact took the vehicle back to an independent mechanic and was informed the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired but continued to experience failure. The contact took the vehicle back for a third time to an independent mechanic and was informed that the wireless ignition node (WIN) module had to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V373000 (Electrical System, Air Bag) was completed by the previous owner of the vehicle. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 90,000.

Multiple times the van will intermittently stall while driving down the road or stopped in traffic. First the dash lights flicker, speedometer and rpm gages go to 0, and warning lights such as esp, traction, abs, airbag, battery etc flicker on and off and occasionally hear almost a spark through radio speakers, then everything shuts off, both electrical and mechanically. When that happens I lose power steering and cannot get my hazards or brake lights to work. One time I could barely press the brake pedal, or steer and it was at night which means the vehicle was completely dark with no kinds of lights at an intersection with my 2 children and myself inside. So very scary! It gives me the worst anxiety to drive it and I'm too scared to sell it as I feel I would be knowingly selling a very unsafe vehicle. Occasionally the sliding side doors do not operate properly. First time the other night while the van was parked I hit the automatic shut button for the sliding door and lost all power to the vehicle and then it popped back in and operated fine. I have had multiple mechanics look at it and nobody can figure it out. Bought the van used in March or April of 2020 and had issues starting just 2 weeks after purchase. The van is now at around 108000 miles. I am out of money, a vehicle and options. Please help from a very scared and desperate mother who otherwise loves her minivan!

Unknown. Vehicle abruptly shuts off. Usually before full operating temperature is reached. It has happened dozens of times. It most recently happened today. Always when you remove your foot from the throttle at lower speeds. You can watch the tach go to 0 when your foot comes off. No warning, no consistency. It has never occurred while accelerating. Most events happened going around a curve, occasionally while slowing to turn into a lot or at an intersection. No problem at highway speeds. The most challenging time though is taking your foot off the gas going around a curve and it quits. Response is to rapidly slip the transmission into neutral and turn the key to start. It usually fires right back up. If you have no situational awareness however this could lead to a really bad outcome. This has been going on for over 100,000 miles. Have 192 now but the problem is getting worse. Dealers always have codes but nothing worked. Once a crankshaft sensor was replaced (On a suspicion) but no code for it. It helped a while but the problem has returned. Still no code for that sensor but I’m having it replaced again.

ABS/TCS/EBP/ESP warning lights all illuminate during system check at 8mph. Diagnostic code C2200 - Internal Module Fault. Ongoing issue. Appears to be ambient temperature related. Internet+forum searchs find this exact condition very common on 2008 model Chrysler minivan. Requires ABS controller replacement with has been discontinued by Mopar. 2008 was the only model year to utilize this particular part number. 68030939AA. Superseded by 68030939AB.

I was standing beside the parked vehicle with the side door open, driver's side, inspecting the 2nd row swivel seat to see if it is removable. I was bent over the forward facing 2nd row seat when I lifted the release lever that tilts the seat back forward. The seat back flung forward with violent force, the headrest hitting on the right side of my face. It broke my nose, which bled profusely and had to be manually straightened by a nurse.

while recall being done they caused malfunction and have not fixed problem recall not completed and they have reported it was completed.
