Engine and Engine Cooling · at 9,000 miles · reported May 25, 2011
We have a 2010 chrysler town and country. The engine will from time to time shut off while driving! It has now happened 4 times including once on the highway! I took it to the dealer and they cannot find the problem. I called chrysler directly and they launched an investigation but stated that they have not heard of the issue and that there was nothing they could do. I explained that I was very worried about the engine shutting off and causing an accident and again they told me there was nothing that they could not do anything. I called the chrysler recall number and they told me that they…

The contact owns a 2010 chrysler town & country. The contact was driving 25 MPH when the key independently moved in the ignition switch from on to ACC, causing the vehicle to stall. The contact was able to restart the vehicle and it was taken to the dealer. The dealer was unable to duplicate the failure so there were no repairs performed. The contact called the manufacturer but the manufacturer would not provide any assistance because the dealer had not stated what was causing the problem. The contact referenced NHTSA campaign id number: 11v139000 (Electrical system:ignition) but the…

Town and country - shut off while on highway while driving my wife and 2 yr old child, my 1 year old t&c shut off while driving (~45-50 MPH) on the highway. I lost all power to the car (Including power steering) and was fortunate enough to get to the shoulder with out incident. I put the car in park and immediately started the car up and we continued on our way. It wasn't until later that night, I remembered a recall notice on the t&c I read on the news, in march. Unfortunately, we have not heard of when this will be fixed. This could have caused a very bad crash and we now question the safety…

Electrical System · at 45,000 miles · reported May 10, 2011
Car loses power while driving if key is bumped or if car hits a bump key is easily put in the accessory position and car loses all power. This happened when the keychain was bumped in the middle of an intersection, another time while making a left turn, and another time while driving about 25mph. This is easily duplicated because while driving I have been able to turn the key to the accessory position and it loses all power. My concern is that this will happen while driving on the freeway and a serious accident will happen.
