ON MANY DIFFERENT OCCASIONS, MY 2010 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY WILL SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. ALL OF THE WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATE ON MY DASHBOARD, THE POWER STEERING SHUTS OFF, AND THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF. I MUST COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, WITHOUT POWER STEERING, AND TURN THE KEY TO THE OFF POSITION. THEN, I MUST RESTART THE VEHICLE. IT ALWAYS RESTARTS, BUT THIS HAPPENS ABOUT ONCE EVERY 2 WEEKS. AFTER READING THE RECALL DETAILS OF THE 2017 CHRYSLER PACIFICAS, THE DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM MATCHES THE PROBLEMS I AM HAVING. MY MECHANIC HAS INSPECTED MY VAN, BUT HE CANNOT DIAGNOSE ANY PROBLEM UNLESS HE, HIMSELF, EXPERIENCES AND WITNESSES THE STALLING OCCUR. *THE PROBLEM HAPPENS WHILE IN MOTION. IT HAS HAPPENED SLOWLY IN A PARKING LOT, AND IT HAS HAPPENED AT 55 MPH ON A HIGHWAY.

2010 TOWN AND COUNTRY ENGINE DIED WHEN IN MOTION GOING AROUND 35 MPH ALSO DIED WHEN COMING TO A STOP AT STOP LIGHT. THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT WENT ON WHEN ENGINE CUT OFF. LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES. WAS ABLE TO PUT IT IN PARK AND RESTART.

VEHICLE STALLS WHILE DRIVING CONSTANTLY. IT SEEMS TO BE WORSE AT SLOWER SPEEDS, BUT DOES HAPPEN AT HIGHER SPEEDS. WHEN THE STALL OCCURS, YOU OFTEN SEE THE ABS LIGHT COME ON. THE CAR LOSES POWER STEERING. YOU HAVE TO PULL OVER AND RESTART OR SOMETIMES CAN PUT IT INTO NEUTRAL AND RESTART WHILE DRIVING. THERE ARE OTHER TIMES CAR SEEMS TO SURGE FORWARD FOR NO REASON. IT'S OFTEN DIFFICULT TO START.

MY 2000 CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY 2010 MODEL WILL NOT START. WHEN I TRY TO TURN ON THE CAR ONE CLICK HAPPENS AND ALL OTHER ELECTRICAL THINGS WORK AND GAGES TURN OVER BUT THE CAR WILL NOT START. I WAIT 5-10 MINUTES AND THEN THE CAR STARTS. I HAVE REPLACED STARTER AND BATTERY STILL THE PROBLEM OCCURS. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE LAST 3 YEARS.

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS OVER THE LAST ALMOST 3 YEARS WE'VE HAD ISSUES WITH OUR VEHICLE DYING WHEN STOPPED OR PARKED. IT BEGAN IN DECEMBER 2014. WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN AUGUST 2014. WHILE DRIVING TO FLORIDA FROM MICHIGAN OUR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THEN IT TURNED OFF SO WE FIGURED THAT THE BULB WAS LOOSE OR SOMETHING AND WE'D GET IT CHECKED WHEN WE GOT BACK FROM VACATION. ON THE WAY BACK THE SAME THING HAPPENED WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON, GOING OFF BUT THEN IT CAME BACK ON AND DIDN'T TURN OFF. THEN THE VEHICLE STARTS DYING WHEN WE'RE STOPPED OR PARKED. WE'RE OBVIOUSLY CONCERNED! I HAD TO GET AN OIL CHANGE AFTER DRIVING THAT FAR ANYWAY SO I BROUGHT IT IN. THE SAID THAT THE CODE WAS FOR A MISFIRING PISTON AND I NEEDED TO TAKE IT INTO THE SHOP RIGHT AWAY. SO I IMMEDIATELY DRIVE IT OVER TO THE DEALERSHIP SHOP. THEY HAVE IT FOR A FEW DAYS AND TELL ME THAT NOTHING IS WRONG, THE VEHICLE JUST NEEDS A TUNE UP AND NEW WIRES, EVEN THOUGH IT DOESN'T EVEN HAVE 90K MILES ON IT. THEY WERE GOING TO CHARGE US $700. WE HAD MY HUSBAND'S COUSIN DO IT INSTEAD BECAUSE HE IS A MECHANIC AND DOESN'T CHARGE US FOR LABOR. THE PROBLEM DOESN'T GO AWAY. THEY TELL US THE CAM SHAFT SENSOR IS BAD. WE REPLACE IT. DOESN'T FIX IT. THEY TELL US THE CRANK SENSOR IS BAD. WE REPLACE IT. AND ON AND ON OUR GOES WITH US REPLACING THINGS AND THE DEALERSHIP BEING UNABLE TO RECREATE THE ISSUE. FOR THE YEARS WE'VE BEEN DEALING WITH THAT AND A VEHICLE THAT CANNOT SMOOTHLY ACCELERATE. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO QUICKLY GET UP TO SPEED AND MERGE ONTO THE HIGHEST BECAUSE THE VEHICLE BUCKS AND SHAKES IF YOU TRY TO ACCELERATE QUICKLY TO GET UP TO SPEED. THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FLASHES, TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON AND A BELL STARTS TO DING UNTIL WE PULL OVER, SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE AND RESTART IT. NOBODY CAN TELL US WHAT IS WRONG AND WHEN THE CODES ARE SCANNED IT DOESN'T MATCH ANY CODE THAT CHRYSLER HAS.

THE HEADLIGHTS TURNED OFF WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. THEY WOULD NOT FUNCTION IF I USED THE REMOTE TO OPEN THE DOORS. THEY WOULD TURN ON, THEN TURN OFF ON THEIR OWN. I TRIED DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY TO RESET. WORKED A COUPLE OF TIMES. BUT TONIGHT IT REALLY SCARES ME BECAUSE THEY TURNED OFF WHILE DRIVING! I GOT HOME SAFELY BECAUSE IT HAPPPENED CLOSE TO HOME IN THE CITY.

CAR ENGINE DIES MAKING BRAKES GAS PEDAL AND STEERING GO OUT! CAR COMPLAINTS.COM HAS A REPORT ON THIS PROBLEM?! DIRECTED ME TO THIS WEBSITE. PLEASE HELP FEAR FOR MINE AND KIDS SAFETY DRIVING THIS VEHICLE UNDER THESE CIRCUMSTANCES! WE WERE DRIVING WHILE THIS TOOK PLACE.

WHILE DRIVING THE VAN IT RANDOMLY SHUTS DOWN THE ENGINE AND IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER. YOU CANNOT ACCELERATE OUT OF THE PATH OF TRAFFIC. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS!

MY VEHICLE ALMOST DAILY WILL STALL OUT AND DIE WHILE IN MOTION ON ROADWAYS. THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON, THE POWER STEERING FAILS AND THE CAR DIES. THIS GENERALLY HAPPENS BETWEEN 30-40 MPH AND OFTEN TIMES MULTIPLE TIMES A DAY. THE RADIO AND OTHER COMPONENTS WILL REMAIN ON BUT I HAVE TO TURN IT OFF AND PUMP IT TO GET IT TO RESTART. I HAVE SEEN HUNDREDS OF FORUMS THAT LIST THIS AS A CURRENT COMPLAINT WITH THIS YEAR RANGE OF TOWN AND COUNTRY'S.
