Problem begins with random ding, all dashboard lights come on, speedometer/fuel gauge/tachometer do not function at all, turn signals & hazards don't work, wipers turn on by themselves for a few swipes and then go back off. This lasts a few seconds and goes back to normal. Reoccurs randomly, lasting from 10 seconds to a full day of driving. It doesn't matter if the van is moving or still, just started or been running- it happens very randomly. Yesterday, I started the van and all dash lights were lit, no gauges worked, and turn signals & hazards did not work for several hours. Today I started it and after driving about 5 minutes, fixed itself and went back to normal.
Drivers side sliding door 'door ajar' sensed during warm/hot days. While driving door tries to re-latch, lights come on, and chumming is heard continuously throughout the drive. Sometimes the door tries to re-latch when just sitting in the driveway with keys out of the ignition. The local dealershipran a diagnostic with multiple codes: I 121300, B19ed, B2501, B2506, B19E0, B2509, B19cd. They told me to replace the track wire bundle. I replaced the door track wire run with negative results. I've swapped the sliding door motor module and the discrep remains with the drivers side. I've swapped the door wiring logic module and the discrep remains with the drivers door. I've replaced the latch actuator motor and the whole latch actuator assembly with no change to the discrepancy. I believe it to be a wiring issue in the door panel. The door chiming and lights flashing while driving is extremely distracting and if it's a wire issue I don't want it to catch fire. This is an ongoing issue with an unknown fix.
My 2013 town N country van is having an overheating problem and now I have been told it has blown head gaskets and needs a possible new motor. It is only 7 years old how is this possible. It has not been misused.
Total integrated power module my van was having problems starting they lacked intelligence by telling me it was because I needed a tune up and some other minor fixes 2 days later it won't start again.
The horn cannot honked by pressing the steering wheel cover. It seems that the clock spring or the horn switch in the steering wheel are defective. Both fuses for the horn are good. The horn still works when the panic button is pressed on the remote key fob.

Car dies/stalls at random when moving. Have been going 70 mph down the rd and it has happened. When this happens it causes us to lose powered steering. This is extremely dangerous! it has stalled/died at various speeds. Sometimes soon starting the vehicle will die right away. Alternator has been replaced and that is not the issue.
I was driving and the van shut off and lost all power when going 60 mph. I lost control off the brakes, power steering, all electrical and engine power was gone.
The engine seizes without warning. It simply shuts off. This effectively limits both the breaking and the power steering. This is dangerous as there are no warning light indicators, no audible notifications, no error codes. Going 70 mph we were nearly killed when the motor died and we lost our breaking and steering ability. This has happened on multiple occasions with no rhyme nor reason. Long trips or short, fast or slow, interstate or in town. It needs to be addressed as this is a major issue. A cursory glance at internet forums will reveal that mine is not simply an isolated event.
When driving vehicle, engine suddenly dies and most times will not start. Engine will sometimes start and most times will not. Further investigation finds that fuel pump relay is not always working. This is extremely dangerous when this occurs while driving and steering and braking become very difficult.

Livonia Chrysler Jeep located at 30777 Plymouth rd, livonia, mi 48150; phone number: (734) 525-5000, was contacted by phone and the contact was informed to have the vehicle taken in to have a diagnostic test performed.

For weeks car would not start in the mornings before work or after being parked for several hours. Car battery needed to be boosted/jumped in order to start, after a few weeks of this battery drained, bad battery (had to purchase new battery and told this was the issue.) even with the new battery car would not want to start after being parked a few hours or overnight, especially in very cold weather. Car cranks but not start until after several tries of turning would start to run then shut off after a minute then would start after a few times of stalling or turning off. Car has stalled and/or refused to start several times with my children in the vehicle leaving us stranded a few times and inconvenient and unsafe for my 4 and 5 year olds, especially my 4 year old who is a type one diabetic. Car has had difficulty accelerating and has stalled on major streets and highways and I have required roadside assistance on three occasions in the last two weeks concerning this issue that I have taken my vehicle to three different mechanics and all say the fuel pump relay and one said possibly the fuel pump or fuel pump relay and there is a history of this issue with this vehicle and there have been recalls in 2012 concerning the same issue and part the fuel pump relay, however there has been no recall for the 2013 Town and country yet the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Ram already offered recalls for the same issue and year. Many people with the 2013 Town and country are experiencing the same issue with the fuel pump relay and we should be offered a recall as well for this faulty part which is dangerous because it can cause a vehicle to stop and /or not start at anytime.
My engine light keeps appearing after almost 3 years of owning this vehicle. It usually occurs when I turn on the heating system and have already been in motion for awhile. Typically while driving on the highway. The last occurrence was city driving but again when the heating system was turned on. I have my vehicle at the shop again and the mechanic is saying it is something regarding the oil. Something about a vacuum. I also assume there is something wrong with the electrical system. Within the first few days of owning my vehicle it was back at the dealership for 2 weeks. The radio always turns off on it's own and some of the dash components. Which it still does almost 3 years into owning this vehicle.
