2010 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY Complaints

When starting the ignition there were times the vehicle would not start or would suddenly stop when driving. Before purchasing this van the starter the fuel pump were replace almost three years (owner) later the starter was replaced and continued to have the same issue. Our Dodge Chrysler mechanic now say a external fuel pump relay must be place and have wiring. The risk is the safety of the driver and passengers when driving and suddenly the car stopping cause a accident and injuries. The vehicle was inspected by the Dodge and Chrysler dealership where an external fuel pump relay and new wiring to prevent this incidents from happening again. No warning messages until the symptoms of failing to turn on the vehicle or sudden stops in the road.

Installed the car seat in my car as I’m expecting my little one in 7 weeks or less, and realized after buckling in and anchoring down properly, the car seat itself is wobbly and insecure in the base. It clicks in at the bottom of the base, but at the top there’s nothing it clicks into and you can lift the top part of the bottom of the car seat out of the base.

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. SHE WAS APPROACHIGN A STOP SIGN INTERSECTION WHEN THIS OCCURRED. ALL 3 OF MY KIDS IN THE CAR. THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL LIGHTS CAME ON, POWER STEERING AND BRAKES WERE AFFECTED. VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED. VERY DANGEROUS. THERE ARE MULTIPLE TRAIN CROSSINGS IN MY AREA AND MY WIFE AND I DRIVE THESE ROUTES FREQUENTLY. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON CONCERN BASED ON THE COMPLAINTS AND NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED. I URGE ANYONE WHO EXPERIENCES THIS TO REPORT IT TO THE NHTSA. I URGE THE NHTSA TO OPEN AN INVESTIGATION AND INITIATE A RECALL ON THIS MATTER WHICH COULD POTENTIALLY AFFECT THOUSANDS OF DRIVERS (VEHICLE OWNERS) AS WELL AS THE PUBLIC AT LARGE.

I was driving about 30 mph when I couldn’t accelerate or brake. The power steering also went out. I saw the traction light on. As I tried to move to the shoulder, I almost got hit. I turned the van off and then restarted it. When it started back up, no lights were on. This has done this to me every time I’ve driven it in the past 2 weeks. It is a big safety issue. I’m scared to drive it. I just recently had the fuel injector and spark plugs replaced. This did not fix the issue.
