The transmission cooling lines are leaking.

Oil filter housing assembly is leaking. Had to replace the full oil filter housing assembly and int manifold set. Twice, as the vehicle has been in motion, the engine has stopped and the ability to steer is gone. The radio has stayed on. Both instances have happened at 25mph or less, thankfully!

Vehicle overheats to the point where I have to pull over, open the hood, open the radiator cap, let it drain and add more water/antifreeze. I have T do this every day once or twice a day. I drive 7 miles to work. The thermostat has been replaced and the car only has 90K miles. Also, cannot put gas on the tank. It does not take more than 1/5th of a gallon and it stops... have to restart the gas adding situation every couple of minutes. It takes about 20 to 30 minutes to fill up the tank.
Oil filter housing-the engine has a major oil leak due to part number 68105583aa. In addition, unrelated to the oil leak the driver seat also unexpectedly reversed and would not move forward again. While sitting at the intersection the car engine suddenly stalled. I am not certain if this was due to leak or electrical problem. The car behind me had to use evasive measures to prevent a crash.
The van stalls a little bit I went and had a diagnostic done on it and the catalytic converter keeps clogging up causing the van to slow up or to switch gears. Also the doors don't close all the way the sliding doors do not close all the way you have to open and close them sometimes it will say that their clothes and then they come open. Also the ac system does not work in the back of the car the door from the ac that goes to the back of the van closes and will not open to it gets extremely hot in the car even though the ac is on full blast. Also the dvd system my van is 2 years old the dvd player went out and the company would not fix the dvd player I had to spend over $1,000 just to get a new replacement for the dvd player. Also the wipers will fog up the windows causing a hazardous where you cannot see and the wiper cord for the rain-X comes undone.

2014 Chrysler Town and country. Consumer writes in regards to vehicle shaking violently, unintended acceleration and slow shifting. The consumer stated the passenger tire sensor corroded and caused the tire to blow out. The vehicle rashed into a neighbor's car.
Stalls without warning under all conditions. Engine and all electrical components (engine, lights, power brakes, power steering, interior lights, dashboard lights). This used to happen once and a while. Now it happens more than once a day. This is a major safety problem. Last time the car was at the Chrysler dealership they were unable to diagnose the problem. Do not buy a Chrysler minivan until this is addressed, they take responsibility for this daner, and there is a recall. Car has less than 40K miles. Most recently happened when travelling at about 20mph, while pulling out of a parking lot and into traffic on a busy road, temperature outside is 40F. City street. Car was already warm (had been driven about 10-miles prior to this happening. I'm only allowed to check three items for part of the car affected, but other systems were also effected including lighting, peed control, wipers, power seats, steering, elec stability control, air bags, tire pressure sensors, and other electrical systems.

Engine oil cooler assembly can be cracked causing an oil leak. Discovered while investigating oil pooling on the ground while parked. Oil cooler assembly is a plastic formed part with metal coolers attached. The oil filter housing is an integral part of this assembly. Auto dealer's service department claims the plastic cooler assembly is cracked due to over tightening of the oil filter cover and the part is not covered under the powertrain warranty. Chrysler has already identified there is a high number of complaints about this issue. Review Chrysler service bulletin #09-008-15 and it has a list of vehicles that may have this problem. I have contacted fca warranty and they confirmed the part is not covered under the powertrain warranty because it is not part of the engine, but an item attached to the engine. The auto service department stated the oil cooler assembly had numerous design revisions because of cracking.
Twice, as the vehicle has been in motion, the engine has stopped and the ability to steer is gone. The radio has stayed on. Both instances have happened at 25mph or less, thankfully!
The system dash flashes and the.whole car shuts down completely off while driving or sitting still. The system flickers and then turns engine off or lights go off and engine is on. The car has been hesitating since 2015 and lights flickering in 2016.
Without warning the engine and all electrical components (interior and exterior lighting, radio, wipers, ac-heat/blower, brake assist, steering assist, airbag, speed indicator, etc) all shut off. There are no dash warning lights. The dashboard is completely black for a moment (until restart). This happened while the car was warm (after driving at highway speed for over 15min). This happened while the car was travelling at approximately 35-miles per hour on a city street. I was able to put the car in neutral and immediately restart without stopping. This was an extremely dangerous situation. If I was on a poorly lit road or going around a corner, or at a higher speed, or a less experienced driver, this could easily have been a fatal accident. This was previously reported to Chrysler and thye reported the problem 'fixed' less than 1-year ago (reported to Chrysler corporate in early August 2017 and supposedly fixed by a Chrysler dealership August 11 2017). The problem is not fixed. This happens without warning and very limited (less than once per month). It seems more frequent in cold weather. It has happened at other times, often a minute or so after starting the vehicle, while warming up. It has happened other times while driving (about 4-times since purchase in November 2014), but I do not recall the dates and time.
