KEY FOB WILL NOT RELEASE FROM IGNITION. VEHICLE WILL START IN ANY GEAR, WITHOUT ANY BRAKE APPLIED

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS LOW SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE SERPENTINE AND TENSIONER BELTS WERE REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V373000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, AIR BAGS). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 84,000.

HEADLIGHT STOP WORKING WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT AND YOU CAN'T GET THEM TO TURN BACK ON. IT HAS HAPPENED 20 OR MORE TIME TO ME. IT HAS HAPPENED ALL READY ON VERY DARK ROADS IN THE COUNTRY, ON THE HIGHWAY OTHER TIMES, I WAS EVEN PULLED OVER FROM A POLICE OFFICER BEFORE TELLING ME TO PUT MY LIGHTS ON AND I SHOWED THEM THEY WERE ON BUT WEREN'T WORKING AGAIN. BUT WERE WORKING WHEN I LEFT MY HOUSE. THEN THE NEXT DAY THEY WILL WORK AGAIN WITH NO PROBLEM AND WORK FOR MONTHS THEN IT DOES IT AGAIN. YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN, I'M AFRAID TO TAKE IT OUT WHEN IT'S DARK OUT. BUT IT'S MY ONLY CAR AND SOMETIMES I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO GO OUT AT NIGHT AND PRAY IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN, IT'S VERY DANGEROUS AND A SAFETY ISSUE, AND I HAVE SEEN A LOT OF COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME THING WITH OTHER PEOPLE AS WELL SO IT'S NOT JUST MY VAN DOING THIS. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE BEFORE SOMEONE GET SERIOUSLY HURT OR DIES FROM THIS DEFECT AND THE COMPANY ENDS UP GETTING SUED FOR NOT FIXING THIS PROBLEM. IF IT WAS JUST MY VAN DOING IT THEN I WOULD THINK IT WAS JUST A FLUKE THING, BUT WHEN I HAVE READ IT HAS HAPPENED TO MANY OTHER OWNERS OF THE SAME KIND OF VAN THEN IT IS A DEFECT THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND FIXED BEFORE SOMETHING AWFUL HAPPENS TO SOMEONE. AND FROM WHAT I HAVE READ SOME PEOPLE SAID THEY WERE TOLD IT WAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE TIPM WHICH COSTS ABOUT $1200 OR SO TO FIX. SOME PEOPLE SAID THEY FIXED THAT AND IT STILL CONTINUED TO HAPPEN...I DON'T HAVE $1200 TO REPLACE THE TIPM AND THE PROBLEM STILL DOESN'T GET FIXED OR SOLVE THE PROBLEM...RIPOFF HAVING YOUR HEADLIGHTS STOP WORKING ON YOU ON A DARK ROAD AT NIGHT IS NOT SAFE AT ALL AND IS VERY DANGEROUS.

MY 2010 TOWN AND COUNTRY SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT A WARNING IT ALMOST CAUSE ME AND MY KIDS TO BE IN A ACCIDENT THIS MORNING TAKING MY KIDS TO SCHOOL PLEASE SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR WORSE

OUR 2010 CHRYSLER T&C STATED TO HAVE ENGINE STALL PROBLEMS SINCE TWO YEARS AGO. BASICALLY THE ENGINE JUST STOPPED WHEN DRIVING (THE RPM DROPS TO 0). THE DRIVER WILL FEEL THE STEERING WHEEL GETS HEAVY AND THE TRACTION WARNING LIGHT COMES ON. WE DID THE CHRYSLER R03 SAFETY RECALL REPAIR (I..E REPLACE THE WIN MODULE) BUT IT DOES NOT HELP AT ALL. ESPECIALLY PRONE TO STALL IN THE FIRST 20 MINUTES OF DRIVING WHEN TEMPS WAS LOW, AND ESPECIALLY WHEN HUMID. WE HAVE HAD IT CHECKED BY MULTIPLE MECHANIC SHOPS BUT NO CLUE WAS FOUND. MULTIPLE PARTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED (CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR, CAMSHAFT SENSOR, AND EGR VALVE) BUT NOTHING WORKED. NOW FOR EVERY DRIVING WE EXPECT AT LEAST 2-3 ENGINE STALLS ON THE ROAD. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS!! I SEE LOTS OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ONLINE AND CHRYSLER SHOULD DEFINITELY SOLVE THIS!
