Chrysler Town and country 2010 the wireless ignition node is problem R03/NHTSA 14V-373 but I call Chrysler said my car is not incluse recall, but 2 day ago my car suddlely engine shot down on the highway.
It began with the front wipers coming on (as if it was raining) on a sunny day.. and the switch wouldn't shut it off. Have to pull the fuse to get them to stop. Then this progressed into not cranking, as if dead battery. I believe my problem is in the keyless switch.. as the battery is new, and I've had both battery and alternator checked. Both ok!

Several attempts to start. The windows make clicking noise and "gear malfunction" type noise when attempting to open or close windows. When letting go of the window button the noise "grinds". when opening the back hatch using the button, some of the other windows make the same 'grinding' type noise. This only occurs when vehicle is stationary. This has been happening for about 6 months.
