Tl* the contact owned a 2008 chrysler town and country. The contact stated that the vehicle had a strong hesitation. The check engine warning light randomly illuminated and the vehicle stalled numerous times. The vehicle was taken to a mechanic twice who replaced the egr valve and vacuum line. The dealer also completed a manufacturer recall repair for the ignition switch; however, the vehicle continued to hesitate.

Reported at 75,000 miles, June 2016 CrashInjury

My chrysler town and country minivan is experiencing major electrical issues including, all dashboard lights coming on, no speedometer readings, no gas gage, wipers go on and off, driver seat moves randomly while driving, and radio/clock come and go. At times the transmission will not change gears. This vehicle is a major safety concern. I believe it's problems with the tipm. I have no idea how fast I'm driving, if I have any gas, have to adjust to the seat moving while I'm driving down the highway.
