 For the third time in the past month, the vehicle shutdown while traveling. in the most recent incident we were driving down an interstate when it shut off. the vehicle started back up after shifting to neutral and turning the ignition. there are numerous reports on the internet of this happening, but chrysler says this particular vin was not included in its 2011 recall for a faulty ignition (or any recall). we're concerned about the safety of a vehicle that shuts down for no reason while in motion. *tr

 The vehicle having this issue was a 2010 chrysler town and country. driving and suddenly the headlights start flickering on and off and bright and dim. it was happening individually, so one light may be on and the other one off. finally they both stopped and it was only the parking lights and fog lights working. nothing would make them work. drove later that same night and it was fine until i turned my lights on bright. i almost had a wreck when the lights went completely out and would not come back on. chrysler needs to identify this problem and recall or extend free repairs for this asap before a fatal accident. it was 2/14/2013 when this electrical system issue happened and is consistentely happening.

 I took my 2010 brand new chrysler town and country van in for a recall on the detent for the ignition switch. after chrysler replaced the switch it will not return to the on position after you start the van. so the wipers, defroster and headlights will not work. i have had several close calls with my son and wife driving the van home in this condition. chrysler is installing defective switches in vans to solve one safety problem and causing others. chrysler will not repair the ignition at this time and has told me to just keep calling them to see if a solution comes about. they should not be putting defective ignition switches in to start with.

 On july 13 2011 we purchased a 2010 chrysler town and country with 28500 miles. twice this month, my wife was driving our 2010 chrysler town and country and the engine shut off while she was driving. one of the times it happened while she pulled into a busy street and was very lucky to not have caused an accident. we know that this is an ongoing issue with these vehicles and that a recall has been issued. we took the van to lee automotive in fort walton beach florida, and they said they would take a look at it. 8 hours later i picked the van up. the dealership said they could not duplicate the problem, they test drove it for only 2 miles. they said they looked at the ignition and that the right components are in place. so after 8 hours they did not fix anything. called chrysler corp. and they told us that their database shows that our vehicle has not been serviced to close the recall and that it is still showing an open recall suspense. according to the nhtsa recall, they were supposed to replace the win ignition module which they did not do. we have four children and are very scared to drive our van. we do not know where else to turn and are hoping to be pointed in the right direction to resolve this issue and be able to get on the road without fear.
