WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE ON-RAMP TO A HIGHWAY MY CAR HIT A BUMP AND LOST CONTROL AND I STARTED SLIDING. THANKFULLY THERE HAPPENED TO BE NO ONE COMING. I NOTICED THAT WHEN MY VAN STOPPED HALFWAY IN A DITCH AND HALFWAY ON THE LEFT LANE I WENT TO MOVE MY VEHICLE IT WOULDN'T MOVE SO I THEN NOTICED IT WAS OFF BUT STILL IN DRIVE AND THE KEY WAS STILL ON. SO I PUT IT IN PARK AND SHUT IT OFF THEN TURNED IT BACK ON THEN WAS ABLE TO PROCEED DRIVING BUT SINCE THEN MY ESP/BAS, AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT HAVE BEEN ON. AFTER HAVING THAT HAPPENED I HAD THE RECALL ON MY VAN FIXED. WELL THE LIGHTS ARE STILL THERE AND NOW THE DRIVING IS WORSE. I CANT CONTROL MY STEERING AND THEY SAY IT IS MY STEERING ANGLE SENSOR. THEY ALSO SAY MY CATALYTIC CONVERTER NEEDS FIXED AND A PCM FLASH. WHICH I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW ALL THESE PROBLEMS STARTED SINCE MY IGNITION UNWILLINGLY SHUT OFF. I AM THINKING THAT CAUSED A POWER SURGE, AND NOW ITS GOING TO COST ME $2000 TO FIX IT IF NOT MORE. MY PROBLEMS NOW ARE: 1) MISFIRE IN CYLINDER 4 2) ROUGH IDLE 3) ACCELERATING SLOWLY WHILE RPM'S ARE ABOVE 3000 4) STUMBLING WHILE DRIVING (SHAKES OR VIBRATES REALLY BAD WHILE IN DRIVE/ OR PUTTERS) 5) ESP/BAS, TRACTION CONTROL, AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON DASH 6) STEERING WHEEL SHAKES FROM LEFT TO RIGHT ON ITS OWN 7) LOUD ENGINE NOISE 8) MOTOR SHAKES 9) ABS READER SAYS TO REPLACE STEERING ANGLE SENSOR (CLOCKSPRING) 10) THERE IS MORE I JUST CANNOT THINK OF IT RIGHT NOW. THIS IS CURRENTLY WHAT I HAVE FIXED IN THE LAST TWO WEEKS TO SEE IF IT HELPS THE PROBLEM. 1) OIL CHANGE (ALWAYS UP TO DATE) 2) SPARK PLUGS 3) SPARK PLUG WIRES 4) BATTERY 5) IGNITION COIL PACK 6) UPSTREAM O2 SENSOR 7) RECALL DONE ON WIN MODULE IGNITION SWITCH FOBIK KEY I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER TO INFORM THEM OF THIS AND THEY TELL ME THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT AND ITS NOT A MANUFACTURE DEFECT.

MY 2008 TOWN & COUNTRY BURNS A LOT OF OIL. THERE ARE NO LEAKS OR WET SPOTS UNDER THE HOOD OR ON THE GROUND. I HAVE TO ADD A QUART OF OIL EVERY 100 MILES. MY RESEARCH SHOWS THAT A MAJORITY, IF NOT ALL, OF THE OTHER OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE. KINDLY LOOK IN TO ISSUING A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. THANK YOU.

CONTINUATION OF 02/01/2016 REPORT: WITH THE INITIAL IGNITION, THIS CAR'S ENGINE JUST STOPPED AND LOST ALL POWER WHILE LEAVING OUR DRIVEWAY, BACK IN 2010. THE IGNITION WAS REPLACED SEPT. 2014 UNDER A RECALL NOTICE. WE HAD NO FURTHER PROBLEMS AT THAT TIME. THE IGNITION WAS REPLACE AGAIN IN SEPT. 2015 DUE TO ANOTHER RECALL NOTICE. ON JAN. 15, 2016, WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH ON A LOCAL ROAD, THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN AND WE LOST ALL POWER. TOOK CAR TO CHRYSLER DEALER. THEY COULD NOT IDENTIFY PROBLEM, BUT SAID A TECHNICAL REPORT SUGGESTED REPLACING THE PCM, WHICH WAS DONE ON 01/18/2016. ON 02/01/2016, THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN AND LOST ALL POWER, AFTER TRAVELING APPROX. 400 FT. TODAY, 2/17/2016, MY WIFE WAS DRIVING ON THE DALLAS NORTH TOLLWAY, AT APPROX. 50 MPH, DURING RUSH HOUR, AND THE ENGINE JUST SHUT DOWN. LUCKILY SHE WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER WITHOUT INCIDENT, PUT THE CAR IN PARK, AND RESTART THE ENGINE. IF THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH CHRYSLER, SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED IN AN AUTO ACCIDENT AS A RESULT OF THIS PROBLEM SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE QUICKLY.
