2009 Chrysler Town And Country Engine cooling Problems

“The car engine shuts off while driving, you have to pull over and start the car again. I have been unable to remove the key fob from the ignition switch and not able to turn the engine off. I had to work at pulling the key fob out for over a half hour before I was able to shut the car off. At one put I removed the key fob from the ignition switch but the engine was still running. I checked if there were any problems with Chrysler vans and learned of a recall l25 regarding ignition switches. I never received a recall notice for this problem from Chrysler. …”

“My 2009 Chrysler Town And Country 4 liter engine stopped dead 3/4 mile after leaving home in the morning. I was doing 15 MPH at the time. Everything stopped working, I.e., the power steering was unmovable and the power brakes were non-responsive. Because it happened in a curve, I ended up in the oncoming lane on a single lane road. Luckily there was no car in that lane. In addition, the heating and cooling system and the radio also stopped. The dashboard went dark. There was total silence. After about 45 seconds I restarted the car with no problems. …”

“My wife was driving the 2009 Chrysler Town And Country today when the throttle just began racing. This ocurrs completely at random. The dealer can't find a code and has just cleaned the throttle body in an attempt to fix this. Clearly, it hasn't fixed it. After a few seconds it returns to the commanded speed from the pedal. Very dangerous!!”

“We bought this car new in 2009 from the gary miller Chrysler dealership in erie, pa. In early 2011 and continuing to present, the car engine will stall out upon applying the brakes to decelerate. The stall always happens at a slow speed right before stopping, just when it stops, or a few seconds after the car comes to a complete stop. It feels like the engine and transmission want to force the car to keep moving instead of braking to a complete stop. On some occasions, the car tries to lurch forward and requires holding the brake down hard to prevent it. …”

“1. Wife was driving 2009 Chrysler Town And Country. She was pulling out into traffic when the van just cut off . 2. The van completely turns off. No gauges, no warning, just cuts off. The failure is completely random. She was almost broad-sided by on-coming traffic with her and our three kids in the van this time. 3. Van has been taken to the dealer at least twice and they could find no fault codes or reason for the van cutting off. Had us pay to have the injectors cleaned and said that should fix it (the van had less than 27,500 miles on it at this point). …”
