WE WHERE DRIVING IN FLORIDA ON VACATION ON JUNE 12, 2017 WHEN OUR 2009 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY STARTED TO HAVE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS . THE WIPERS WOULDN'T SHUT OFF UNTIL THE WIPER MOTOR BURNED UP , THE DRIVERS SEAT WOULDN'T STOP MOVING FORWARD AND BACK , THE WINDOWS WOULDN'T GO DOWN , AC WENT OUT , THE ENTIRE DASH BOARD LIGHT UP AND ALL THE LIGHTS STAYED ON , THE SPEEDOMETER WAS DEAD , THE GAS GAUGE WAS DEAD , THE TURN SIGNALS DIDN'T WORK , THE DVD PLAYERS DIDN'T WORK . WE TOOK IT TO A DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT . IT THEN DID IT AGAIN AND IT WENT BACK TO THE SAME DEALERSHIP AND AGAIN THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING . ON THE WAY HOME ON I-95 IT STARTED AGAIN . WHEN WE GOT HOME WE TOOK IT TO A GARAGE THAT DEALS WITH ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS AND HE FOUND OUT IT WAS A DVD PLAYER IN THE FRONT THAT WAS MAKING IT GO NUTS . HE DISCONNECTED IT AND ITS OK BUT NOW NOTHING WORKS , LIKE THE 3 DVD PLAYERS, THE HEATED MIRRORS , THE REMOTE START . THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE FIXED BEFORE SOME ONE GETS KILLED ON THE HIGHWAY .

WHEN DRIVING MY CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY IT WILL SHUT OFF FOR NO REASON . WHEN THIS HAPPENS I LOSE ALL STEERING AND POWER TO THE ENGINE . IT DOES THIS ON TURNS , HILLS, AND EVEN HIGHWAYS.

VEHICLE TURNS OFF WHILE DRIVING. ALL LIGHTS ARE ON IN DASHBOARD. CANNOT STEER VEHICLE. VEHICLE IS ON. VEHICLE BECOME RESPONSIVE AFTER TURNING BACK ON. THIS HAS HAPPENED IN A PARKING LOT. THE SECOND TIME HAPPENED ENTERING A MAIN ROAR. BOTH TIMES HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING UNDER 20MPH.

VALVE STEM TIP CAME OFF WHILE REMOVING THE CAP TO PUT AIR IN TIRE. TIRE KEEP GOING FLAT. CAR WAS PARKED AT THE TIME. ALUMINUM VALVE STEM CORRODED JUST FOUND OUT I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE SOME COMPLAINTS SAID THERE'S CAME OFF WHILE DRIVING

TIRE VALES CORRODS/CAUSES WHEEL CORROSION. NEED TO REPLACE ALL TIRE VALVES INCLUDING SENSORIES. ONCE TIRE VALVES CORRODES AIR DEFLATES OUT OF TIRES IMMEDIATLY WHICH CAN CAUSE A DANGER TO ON THE ROAD AND CAN CRASH. THE CORROSION IS CAUSED FROM THE VALVES NOT BEING MADE OF RUBBER. THIS IS EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE AND WILL CONTINUE TO HAPPEN. ESPECIALLY LIVING IN CERTAIN WHEATHER CONDITIONS. I WAS FILLING MY TIRES UP WITH AIR BECAUSE SENSOR CAME ON IN CAR SAYING PRESSURE WAS LOW, THE VALVES IN THE REAR BACK OF VEHICLE ONE BROKE OFF AS SOON AS I WENT TO PUT AIR IN AND THE OTHER THE CASSING EXPLODED OFF WHEN AIR WAS BEING PUT IN TIRE. THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE WHEEL IS CORRODED DUE TO VALVE CORROSION. THANKFULLY I WENT TO MY MECHANIC IMMEDIATLY TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT THAT LIVED DOWN THE ROAD FROM ME. I HAD MY DAUGHTER IN CAR WITH ME. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY CHRYSLER AND RECALL NEEDS TO BE ISSUED ON THESE TIRE VAVLES.
