2013 Chrysler Town And Country power train problems

“While driving at highway speed, 65mph, the 2013 Town and Country shut down. The dash instruments and all internal lighting shut off, the radio shut off and the blower fan for heat shut off. I lost the ability to steer and brake (power steering went out) but managed to maneuver the vehicle to the right lane. The car would not respond to any acceleration attempt. I tried turning the key while coasting down the highway, the vehicle did not restart. I then put the vehicle into neutral and tried turning the key and it did not restart. I then turned the key to the off position and then tried to restart and it successfully started. My dash instruments illuminated, the radio and heat blower came back on and I was able to regain control of the vehicle.”

“Transmission codes but not having transmission issues even verified by shop and couldn't find issue. Then out of no where transmission revved hard on its own causing it to almost red line.”

“The contact owns a 2013 Chrysler Town and Country. The contact stated while driving 60 MPH, the vehicle lost motive power and stalled without any warning. The contact stated that the instrument panel was not illuminated. The contact shifted into neutral and was able to restart the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer however, no cause for the failure was found. The contact stated that the failure persisted. The vehicle was taken to another dealer and the contact was informed that the WIN module and the control internal grade power module needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 175,000. The contact stated that the failure occurs every day and multiple times a day. The vehicle has not been repaired.”

“My back driver side sliding door stopped working and I had to remove my grandchild from the window because the car was loaded and packed for a trip. Then about 5 months after the door stopped my passenger and driverside windows would roll down and immediately back up and then down and not close. This caused extreme cold for passengers in the vehicle since we were driving in bad weather and could not stop to try to get them rolled up. Having only 1 back door that works makes it completely impossible to load and unload my family and it bothers me if there were an emergency and had to exit vehicle I wouldn't be able to get all my grandkids out in a timely manner. When I pull up to a construction zone and have to stop I have to open my door to hear to talk to them which caused them to tell me to stay in vehicle and they get scared for my safety with my door open. I cannot communicate with drive up tellers and it is impossible to order from a drive thru when I have to open door or if I get pulled over by a cop and he tells me to roll window down I have to open door and he takes secure measures thinking I am going to do something bad when I have to talk to him with…”

“The van will randomly shut off while driving. it may happen out of the blue while on the highway, hitting a bump, or even driving at slow speeds. The instrument panel remains on, I can put the van in neutral while still moving and restart the van. Sometimes it happens multiple times a week, sometimes it happens only a few months. There are no check engine light on or anything else.”

“PURCHASED 2013 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY IN JULY OF 2020 AND IT HAD A CLEAN RECORD, WAS A FORMER CARMAX VEHICLE AND MY INDEPENDENT MECHANIC REVIEWED THE VEHICLE AND DEEMED IT A GOOD PURCHASE. I HAVE SINCE CARED FOR THE VEHICLE AND IT HAS RUN WELL UNTIL RECENTLY SEVERAL ERROR CODES CAME UP. P0300, P0456, P0455, P0175. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC AND THEY SAID THIS COULD BE A VEHICLE MANUFACTURER ISSUE. THE CODES SAY SOMETHING ABOUT EVP LEAK, MISFIRE AND SYSTEM RUNNING TOO RICH. THIS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED TO ENSURE A RECALL ISN'T NECESSARY. REPAIRS ARE WELL OVER $1000 AND NOT DUE TO ANY PRE EXISTING ISSUES.”
