Stalling problems: Vehicle stalls out at stop lights and coming to stops in traffic on highway. The vehicle would re-started after putting in neutral. The car has stalled when slowing down and making left hand turns. This is very dangerous crossing through the intersection and not knowing if your vehicle will stall out or not. It is becoming more frequent, it happened 5 times on the one trip. I thought I purchased a really good used vehicle, and I think someone just passed on their problems to me. My husband's friend replaced the egr and it stopped doing it for a few days and then started stalling again. So I parked it for a few weeks. This past Friday I took to the mechanic. The mechanic road tested vehicle with scan tool, performed data scan. No codes present/active or stored. They performed complete fuel injection/combustion chamber fuel service. Cleaned throttle plate area. Cleaned combustion chamber. Added fuel system cleaner to fuel tank to clean fuel injectors. Replaced spark plug wires and all spark plugs, erased memory, then re-test drove with scan tool, ok at that time. They advised us that they were unable to duplicate the stalling concern at that time. On Saturday I picked up and it hesitated when going through the intersection, but otherwise seemed ok. On Sunday stalled out at the two red lights in town, but restarted ok. Then after driving on the highway for a half hour, at the exit it stalled at stop sign and did not want to restart - 3 tries before I could get it going. So displeased with this vehicle, and I am worried about driving my daughter and nieces around in it! I wish someone would just tell us what is wrong so we can get it fixed.

Ever since Chrysler issued a recall and replaced the ignition the car stalls while driving down the road. All power is lost and we have to pull over and hope the car starts. Usually it does however sometimes it requires a jump start. It's not a bad battery! I have had it tested and I continued to use the same battery to this day. Over a one year time I have logged probably 50 stall events. Moisture humidity seems to make it worse. Learned this when I moved from Maine to tucson. But now it's stalling a lot here in tucson although it is monsoon season. The dealership said it was due to the weight of keys hanging from the ignition key, the problem is I bought the car new and have never had anything attached to the ignition key. I only carry the ignition key by itself. Nice try Chrysler, but you are wrong. I need to state this stalling problem did not occur until Chrysler issued a recall to prevent stalling instructing the dealership to replace the keys and ignition. Chrysler says it''s my problem I need to pay to fix, I say they created the problem and need to pay to fix. Maybe the ntsb should investigate! didn't GM have a problem like this?

I have 2010 Town and country that has a intermittent cranking problem. I have taken it to two Chrysler dealers and they have kept it for several days and then they tell me they can't find the problem, the dealers say when they have the van hooked up to their diagnosed machine the test does not duplicate. All cranking issues are happening at home and when we are out and about, the van does shut off sometimes after cranking. We have taken van to dealer for a recall that we received pertaining to wireless ignition nod.the fix did not resolve the cranking problem. This cranking issue happens when engine is cold or hot, no lights come on instrument and no codes are stored to help find the problem. The two dealers have checked battery, starter, all grounds, fuel pump relay, fues, any thing they could think of, still no fix. This has been going for two years, please help, mr CEO of Chrysler please help your owners of your vehicles.

The contact owns a 2010 Chrysler Town and country. While driving 70 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and diagnosed, but a failure could not be found. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer for diagnostic testing or repairs. The contact found information online regarding an inadvertent ignition key displacement, which could cause the vehicle to stall. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 113,576.

I see many complaints on NHTSA regarding Town & Country vehicles with electrical problems, with many related to car not starting, or car stalling. We have sent emails to Chrysler asking for help with how to fix this issue. This is our 3rd Chrysler vehicle. We are happy with the brand but are losing faith because our mechanic/dealer cannot solve the problem specifically, our 2010 Chrysler T&C minivan has trouble starting when it is hot (temperature outside or when car has been running a long time). We have replaced the battery, and had our dealer and an independent mechanic try to figure out what is wrong and how to fix it, without success. We have performed the electrical key ignition recall. Please ask Chrysler to solve the problem and tell dealers (and everyone) how to fix it thank you

The contact owns a 2010 Chrysler Town and country. The contact stated that the vehicle stalled without warning several times. The dealer (atlanta West Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, 1251 thornton rd, lithia springs, ga 30122) replaced the tipm and the starter, but the repairs failed to correct the failure. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer several times, but the cause of the failure could not be diagnosed. The manufacturer was notified and did not assist. The VIN was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 125,000.

The contact owns a 2010 Chrysler Town and country. On several occasions, while attempting to start the vehicle, the engine would not start when turning the key in the ignition switch. Also, when the contact was standing outside the vehicle, the windows would erroneously open and close and the headlights would flash on and off. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer (butler Chrysler, 1555 salem rd, beaufort, SC), but the failures could not be duplicated. The vehicle was not repaired. Recently, when inserting the key into the ignition switch, the key became stuck. The key was eventually removed, but would not remain in the ignition switch when re-inserted and the vehicle could not be started. The failure was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 107,000.

The van will lose all power no matter the speed. This has happened on numerous occasions within the past year. Will have to stop turn van off, then restart. Sometimes takes longer than others but has restarted and will happen again after a little while for no reason. This needs to be fixed before something more serious happens. Please fix this. My families life does matter and so does others>>>....

The contact owns a 2010 Chrysler Town and country. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle stalled with no warning. The vehicle was coasted to the side of the road and was able to restart each time the failure occurred. However, the failure continued to progress. An unknown dealer was contacted. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, an electrical recall had been completed before and after the failures occurred so the vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer provided no solution other than having the dealer repair the vehicle. The approximate failure mileage was not available.

We have had continuous problems with the engine stalling while driving. Sometime the dash lights, radio, outside lights flicker before the engine quits. After pulling to the side of the road, the key will not come out of the ignition. No lights will be on when turning to acc or on position. The door locks will not operate. Nothing works. We have nothing attached to the ignition key. I have tried wiggling, pushing, pulling on the key to get it to work. Nothing! then randomly, everything comes back on and the engine will start. We have not had an accident, yet! but if these issues continue, we will. Troubleshooting doesn't do much good because it is so random.

While driving the car in town it has now (3rd time) randomly shut off. It has happen while going anywhere from 10-40 mph. The traction light flashes for a quick second and then you lose all power. This includes the breaks and steering. Was able to coast to the side of the road. Put the car in park and start the car back up and it has run fine. It has become more frequent recently and is a very serious situation as we have avoided an accident twice with other cars around us almost hitting us. This should be recalled as I have read over 200 different reports on various sites. We took to a dealer and they were not able to get a code to pin point what is wrong. I have heard the erg valve was replaced on some and it has solve this issue. If Chrysler doesn't want to look into this reoccurring problem it is horrible. I hope a death doesn't have to occur before they look into this.
