Van will shut off while driving between the speeds of 20 to 40. No warnings or signs just stops running. We have had the van scanned and no codes or issues the tech had us replace the batter but the issue is still occurring and with more research on the web this is a common problem with no solution. This is happened multiple times and is very dangerous. We purchased the van used and there seems to be no recalls for it.

2013 engine shuts off within first 7 minutes of driving. No warning it doesn't stall and radio gps and other components stay on just engine shuts off. This happens about 60% of the time. First time was on highway after driving 5 minutes going 60 mph shut off and it actually turned itself back out without me doing anything. Another time was after driving 3 minutes at a stop sign started to go and car shut off after 1/4 mile I had to pull over to restart. It's shut off dozens of times regardless of speed or location. 2nd to last time it happened I was going over railroad track at about 15 mph and last time it happened I was driving on highway at 70 mph. Once it happened in my driveway, I though idling it a while before driving would help but it shut off when I adjusted my steering wheel after idling for 7 mins.

Vehicle shuts down with no advance warning! there are no error or fault codes stored in the PCM. Very dangerous while operating on the highway. The vehicle is totally disabled when this occurs. The condition seems to be a common problem with Chrysler products as described on the internet. Someone (fed. Govt.) should immediately launch an investigation into this serious and/or deadly situation. The vehicle has approximately 74000 miles on the odometer. Someone please help! today it happened three times.

2013 Chrysler Town and country touring randomly shuts off while driving. It's happened 3 times in a parking lot, 1 time in my driveway in reverse, and one time on the highway traveling at 55+ mph. I lose power steering, power brakes, and probably more. If I put the vehicle in neutral and turn the key it has fired back up.

While driving the van, it randomly stalls and everything goes dead on the car. The ignition does not turn over, it just keeps cranking.after a while it starts back up and then it eventually happens again. This happens at high speeds and low speed and just leaves you stranded. No dealer knows the problem. It is very unsafe. It happened to my family in a highway.

Van stalls while moving on city streets. Dash cluster lights up then shuts down, loss of power, steering, braking. Sometime restarts on it's own while still in gear, if coming to a complete stop, must put in park to restart. This is the third time reporting it to the Chrysler dealership with no resolution. This problem has been reported to NHTSA several times involving the Chrysler Town and country. Why has NHTSA not demander a recall...these vehicles are unsafe to drive!!!

Beginning in August 2018, while driving, my 2013 T+C will simply shut off. No warnings, no lights, no noises, nothing. The vehicle simply shuts off. This has happened 6 times over the past 4 months. When this happens, my speed has been anywhere between 5-35 mph. It happens closer to when I first start my car after sitting overnight or for 8+ hours. Also happens when I am slowing down. I was able to get the vehicle started each time it's happened, but this is extremely dangerous as I have no power in the car (no steering, very limited brakes, etc). This issue seems to be a regular occurrence with this vehicle. What is being done to correct this dangerous issue?

2013 Chrysler Town and country mini van VIN no. [xxx] 68,543 miles fuel injection returnless, sequential. Chrysler 3.6 engine fuel pressure codes that I have had and still having: P0153, P0153, P0175, P0300, P0302 the cylinder head problem in the Chrysler pentastar 3.6L engine affects the left bank containing cylinder number two. Symptoms first appear as a ticking sound coming from that cylinder, followed by misfire conditions, loss of power and possible stalling. The design flaw is reportedly fixed in models manufactured from 2012 but it is believed that 7,500 earlier vehicles may be susceptible to left cylinder head cracks. Chrysler has extended the five year/100,000 mile warranty to ten years or 150,000 miles on the left cylinder head of vehicles prone to the failure. Warranty bulletin D-14-12 of June 10, 2014, is available from dealers and contains details of which vehicles are covered. Left cylinder head has lots of noise... no noise on right cylinder head also stalling and misfire visited dealership on 8-24-2018 and said that my VIN no. Does not apply to my van for above extended warranty. Cost to repair will be more than $2000. Information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

Kept taking it in probably for almost a year for a diagnostic check because it felt like it had a jerking feeling in the engine. Was told no codes were showing up. Then earlier this year, had to have 2 coils replaced on the engine. On June 1 I took it in because the engine light was on, now it needs camshaft and other stuff done!
