I have problem with my 2012 Chrysler Town & Country fuel pump raly the fuel pump keep running when the car off. Some company recall for the same problem
The van would not crank when I got ready to leave work. I waited a bit, put my halo charger on it and it cranked. The next morning it would not crank. It would turn over but not start. We had it towed to a mechanic who kept it for 4 days and told us we needed to take it to the dealer. We were told that it was the tipm, $1600 to replace, but $400 to do a bypass.
Vehicle will crank with ignition switch in on position. However, it will keep cranking and wont start. After a couple tries it will finally roll over and start. Vehicle has turned off while idle for no reason but will start after a couple of cranks. The vehicle was in a stationary position. The ignition switch is operated by a key fob. The ignition switch is getting worse. It takes more tries to start.

The van will just shut off while driving. I have been keeping track in the last 4 months it has shut off completely 32 times while in motions sometimes starting right back up other times takes so cranking to get it to turn over. Last Wednesday 10/14 the car shut off while I was driving my kids to school in a 45 mph zone and the van went right off the road luckily no damage and no one being injures. If that was on the highway it would have been a lot more dangerous. I did some research and found that many of this year have the same problem. Also the sliding power doors will not shut and stay shut without holding them with pressure to close they also will close randomly and almost closed on my 4 year old in it luckily I was able to put my body in the door so she did not get squished. I can give me detail on either if you need any.
It started with my wipers continueing to run and when the engine was turned off. The tipm was diagnosed by two machanics as being the issue. In waiting to have the funds to have the tipm replaced my car is now shifting into drive 2 and drive1 on its own while I was driving. I have seen several other complaints about other owners having the same safety issue.
Upper top engine camshaft rollers are defective also electronica fuel injection problems followed by faulty dash temperature gauge also driver side seat has a defective left side motor with faulty seat belt holder
Ignition switch failure. Won't start have a hard time getting to key to turn the engine over have to wiggle and press hard to start. Takes a long time to fiddle with in order to start.
My van needs a new tipm. This is a recall for some Chrysler vehicles under P54/NHTSA 14V-530. Why does this not include all Chrysler vehicles? the van starts intermittently. Sometimes without issue other times takes minutes and several attempts.
When we are driving on streets, the power shuts off. I can barely pull over since the power steering shuts off. There is no lights or anything. Car must be shut off and turned back on to fix the problem. I have 2 children under 2 and I am so worried about getting rear ended. Luckily it's never happened on a highway. The dealership basically said it's not their problem. Mechanics cant figure out why it shuts off. It only happened once when we bought it in the fall. Now that its warm it happens a lot
The fuse box under the hood they call the tipm has a known problem with the fuel pump fuse going bad that the vehicles computer does not register the car fax shows that it was looked at in ca. In Oct.2019 for hard to start but no problem was found ibought it on March 8 2020 it ran great until the fuel pump went out along with the fuse box they said they donnot have another one that I would have to have it rebuilt a new fuel pump
The vehicle continually fails to start when key fob is inserted in ignition and turned. It also often fails to allow us to turn the vehicle off or remove the key. This happens year round and at various locations. We have young children and have been stranded in locations, unable to start our vehicle due to this. The vehicle is stationary when this occurs, and it typically occurs more frequently after being used. For example, I will drive to the store and when I come back out, my vehicle will be able to start.
I will be driving the van and it will randomly shut off it only dose it at low speeds at like 20 -40 but I lose power steering everything until I put it in neutral and start it again.
The van is cutting off while going down the road, we have detected that it is possibly the key fob. I can play with the fob and it does kill the engine. I understand this has been a problem with other chry., products, and could be the same problem.
I have an additional complaint: 11286310. Traction control and ABS system deactivated while driving around town. Engine cut off while driving, speedometer dash cluster stops working while driving, with children in vehicle (minivan). U110A dtc. Network, mfg, fuel and air metering fault. Driving safety issue.
I purchased my vehicle in March of 2016 for the purposes of transporting 2 disabled family members. First, check engine light was coming on and stated that the crankshaft sensor we're not working. When I would drive while driving my vehicle would just shut off I feared getting hit by other vehicles. Then the fuel pump relay would stay on after shutting vehicle off until it would drain the battery. After, now my vehicle cranks but doesn't start at all. This is a hazard and dangerous what I am afraid of is that this is a common issue with these vehicles and the issue has not been looked at by the proper department or authority. I also brought this issue to Chrysler where I purchased the vehicle and they said they can not assist with the issue and no recalls have been put in place my vehicle has been parked for 5 months now.
2012 Chrysler Town and country complaint 2/2 vehicle would having a humming and whirring sound coming from it that would cease only when the battery is dead or terminal removed. The lights would kill the battery despite being left in off position. The vehicle currently was taken to the store for the change of a tipm due to smelling a very hot burning scent and then in stop whirring sound along with display is hot in red on screen. The actual screen and middle control panel to hot to touch. The vehicle tire system signal would occur recurrently and it would cause one to have continuously check tires even if they were fine and sometimes the vehicle would need and others not. The vehicle was left with the dealer to change a tipm and work on the fuel pump not stopping even with no key in the vehicle and change the burned electrical rear window switch that had burned like October. The vehicle had a brand new battery installed by aaa. And this battery cell was destroyed by the continuous draining and jump starting. The vehicle has had the tipm put in and returned to me a month later not being able to drive more than 2 miles without overheating and release of white smoke. The car has no coolant in it and no oil when replaced immediately the vehicle burned it off and it ran out. The vehicle also had to be towed back to the dealer. The dealer charges for the new computer and then tells me I have to pay for the coolant problem, the oil leak problem and and some caliber with my wheel. The vehicle also after having a new tipm installed and new remote coded and programmed the vehicle passenger door on the right still doesn't lock with instruction from neither remote or manually. The dealer is telling me I can not fix the oil leak thing and drive it topping of the oil and checking it daily.
