2012 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY Complaints

Engine stalled at roughly 20 miles per hour, thankfully, I was stopped. Restarted and drove off, but vehicle now has a check engine light on.

The driver's side sliding door became inoperable suddenly. The locking mechanism was stuck in the locked position and would not release via key, manual, fob, or buttons. A buzzing noise occurred when trying to lock or unlock. This exit door being inoperable caused a safety concern to be able to exit the vehicle on the driver's side. It does now allow for quick, easy escape from the vehicle. If the danger was on the passenger side then the only exit is everyone climbing through the driver's door. This issue was verified by Dishman Dodge (Spokane Valley, WA) service team on 8/8/23. The lock actuator was the issue. They have replaced it at my expense. (This is the same issue referenced in: Chrysler TSB 23-017-20) There were no warnings or symptoms prior to this lock failing. We were on a trip July 22 when we first noticed the issue.

My van has 57382 miles and is wheelchair accessible, we only use it for store or doctor appt. It has been shutting off / stalling while driving. It spits & sputters then boom stalls it takes 4 or 5 time to restart but does restart for now. Does not do it every time but when it does we are on highway usually when coming to stop or slowing down to turn which has become a safety issue for all. Had it to garage multiple times, Garage can't seem to find problem, No check engine light comes on No code are thrown just stops / stalls. Last incident occurred 6-6-23 but has been ongoing for months and getting worse

Vehicle will randomly shut off when driving. The first time it happened was as I was pulling out onto a very busy road. It also has a hard time turning over to start sometimes. I will have to readjust the key fob and try again.
