WHILE MY WIFE AND CHILDREN WERE MAKING A LEFT-HAND TURN IN THE FAR LEFT LANE THE VAN COMPLETELY WENT DEAD. THEY LOST ALL POWER TO THE ENGINE, LOST ALL POWER STEERING, LOST ALL ABILITY TO ACCELERATE, AND LOST ALL ABILITY TO BREAK. THE CAR TRAVELED ACROSS BOTH LANES AND LUCKILY INTO A SHOPPING CENTER TURN LANE, WHERE THEY APPLIED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO COME TO A STOP. LANDSCAPERS SAW WHAT HAPPENED AND WERE ABLE TO PUSH THE CAR INTO THE PARKING LOT. THE DASHBOARD STAYED LIT AND THE AC FAN CONTINUED TO BLOW. IT'S ALMOST AS IF THE BATTERY WAS STILL ON, BUT THEY HAD NO MECHANICAL FUNCTIONS. WE HAD THE VAN TAKEN TO TEQUESTA TIRE CO WHERE THEY DID A FULL INSPECTION. AFTER A FULL INSPECTION, THEY DETERMINED THE PROBLEM TO BE A POSSIBLE "FLUKE". AFTER ADDITIONAL RESEARCH ONLINE, THIS APPEARS TO BE A WIDER ISSUE WITH OTHER T&C OWNERS. OTHER OWNERS SAY THEY HAVE NOT FOUND THE CAUSE OF THE ISSUE AND SPEND A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF MONEY WITH NO RESOLUTION OR CAUSE.

THE 'NO FUSE' INDICATOR COMES ON AT RANDOM TIMES. IT MAY STAY ON FOR MONTHS AT A TIME AND SOMETIMES WILL JUST FLUCTUATE BETWEEN THE ODOMETER AND NO FUSE INDICATION. EVERYTHING ELECTRICAL STILL WORKS WHILE THE NO FUSE INDICATION IS ON. THE FUSE HAS BEEN CHANGED TO NO AVAIL. THIS HAPPENS WHETHER THE VEHICLE IS MOVING OR STATIONARY. PRESENTLY IT IS PARKED. WHEN DOOR IS OPENED THE NO FUSE INDICATOR COMES ON. WHILE AT FIRESTONE TODAY GETTING THE TIRES ROTATED, THE SERVICE WRITER SAID HE HAS SEEN THIS ON NUMEROUS TOWN AND COUNTRY VANS.

WHEN THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING AND PUT INTO PARK OR HAS BEEN IN PARK IDLING, THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM (AND ENGINE) INTERMITTENTLY (ONCE A MONTH) SHUTS DOWN AND THE VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE RE-STARTED. THE CLIMATE CONTROL FAN LEVEL RESETS TO FULL BLAST, TEMPERATURE SETTING RESETS, AND THE CLOCK RESETS TO 12:00. SO FAR THIS HASN'T HAPPENED WITH THE VEHICLE IN DRIVE.

WHILE I WAS WAITING TO PICK UP SOMEONE ON A SCHOOL PARKING LOT (BEING PARKED, AND ENGINE WAS ON), I SUDDENLY HEARD VERY(!!) LOUD, SEVERAL THUNDER-LIKE OR SHOT-GUN SOUNDS. AS I ROLLED DOWN THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW, I HEARD AGAIN THAT SAME SOUNDS AND THE SOUND IS THEN ACCOMPANIED AS IF A WINDOW WAS GRINDED. THE WINDOW DIDN'T COME UP SO I ASSUMED IT WAS BROKEN INTO PIECES. ACCORDING TO BODY SHOP, THE REGULATOR FOR THE WINDOW IS BROKEN WHILE THE WINDOW GLASS IS PERFECTLY FINE. ALSO, I WAS RECOMMENDED TO TALK TO CHRYSLER REP FOR POSSIBLE RECALL. THE CHRYSLER DEALER SHOP INDICATED THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR MY VAN'S VIN. IT'S SO STRANGE THAT THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS SO I WAS LOOKING AT THIS WEBSITE, AND FOUND THAT THERE WAS A VERY SIMILAR SITUATION LIKE MINE FOR CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY VAN (RECALL # P25). I PAID $360 OUT OF POCKET TO CHANGE A REGULATOR, AND PLEASE INVESTIGATE FURTHER.

EVERY TROUBLE LIGHT ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CAME ON. THERE IS NO POWER TO THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE. IT'S POSSIBLE THE ENGINE COULD SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING THE VAN. THE PROBLEM STARTED ON 10/6/2018. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER COULD NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM AND HAD A 3RD PARTY REPLACE THE FUSE BOX. THIS DID NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE. THE BATTERY WAS THEN REPLACED. THIS DID NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE. ALL TROUBLE LIGHTS ON THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER ARE ILLUMINATED (INC - CHARGING SYSTEM, OIL PRESSURE, ANTI-LOCK BRAKES, AIR BAG, ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL, TIRE PRESSURE, ENGINE TEMPERATURE, SEAT BELT, BRAKE, ENGINE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL, VEHICLE SECURITY, LOW FUEL). THE LIGHTS WERE GOING ON INTERMITTENTLY, BUT ARE NOW ON CONSTANTLY. I CANNOT DRIVE THE VAN DUE TO THE FACT THAT IT JUST MIGHT SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY OR THRUWAY. THE VEHICLE IS NOW PARKED. AND I NEED A VEHICLE TO DRIVE!!

DRIVING AT 30 MPH OR SLOWER,THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF AND THE COMPUTER RESETS IT'SELF. THE GAS MILEAGE GOES FROM 21 TO 22 MPG BACK TO FACTORY 18 MPG AND YOU HAVE NO POWER STEERING AND NO POWER BRAKES. IT COULD CAUSE ME TO WRECK FOR THE LAST TIME I WAS IN DOWN TOWN LISBON, OHIO MAKING A LEFT TURN WHEN IT JUST SHUT OFF AND LOST POWER. YOU PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND IT WILL START RIGHT UP BUT IT'S HARD TO DO WHILE TURNING AND NO POWER STEERING OR BRAKES.

SIDE MONITOR SENSORS FAIL AFTER LESS THAN 30K MILES. SYSTEM BEEPS EVERY 5 SECONDS AND SPEEDOMETER FLASHES WARNING TO GET THE SYSTEM SERVICED. IT WILL NOT STOP BEEPING. THE MONITORS ROT OUT BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT SEALED PROPERLY. THIS SHOULD DEFINITELY BE A RECALL. IT'S A $2,100 DEALER FIX.

STALLS WITHOUT WARNING UNDER ALL CONDITIONS. ENGINE AND ALL ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS (ENGINE, LIGHTS, POWER BRAKES, POWER STEERING, INTERIOR LIGHTS, DASHBOARD LIGHTS). THIS USED TO HAPPEN ONCE AND A WHILE. NOW IT HAPPENS MORE THAN ONCE A DAY. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY PROBLEM. LAST TIME THE CAR WAS AT THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. DO NOT BUY A CHRYSLER MINIVAN UNTIL THIS IS ADDRESSED, THEY TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS DANER, AND THERE IS A RECALL. CAR HAS LESS THAN 40K MILES. MOST RECENTLY HAPPENED WHEN TRAVELLING AT ABOUT 20MPH, WHILE PULLING OUT OF A PARKING LOT AND INTO TRAFFIC ON A BUSY ROAD, TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE IS 40F. CITY STREET. CAR WAS ALREADY WARM (HAD BEEN DRIVEN ABOUT 10-MILES PRIOR TO THIS HAPPENING. I'M ONLY ALLOWED TO CHECK THREE ITEMS FOR PART OF THE CAR AFFECTED, BUT OTHER SYSTEMS WERE ALSO EFFECTED INCLUDING LIGHTING, PEED CONTROL, WIPERS, POWER SEATS, STEERING, ELEC STABILITY CONTROL, AIR BAGS, TIRE PRESSURE SENSORS, AND OTHER ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS.
