We were so thankful we were not on the highway yet as we could easily have been killed! we left the van in a nearby parking lot for the night and tried to take it to a dealership the next morning, but they didn't have any open appts till later this week. We started it up again with the same results. We pulled into the next parking lot & turned the van off, but the horn kept going off for at least 5 minutes along with the wiper, lights, etc.

We were exiting a parking lot and pulling out onto a main road when the horn started honking, the windshield wipers started full speed (both front and back with constant wiper fluid), the interior lights flashed, all the interior warning lights were on, and the headlights shut off.

Five incidents with no resolution, no one knows how to fix the problem! a recurrent problem that can happen at any point- while on a highway or getting through a busy intersection. My kids are afraid to get in van for fear of breaking down yet again.

I am beyond frustrated with Chrysler for allowing me to leave the shop every time with no solution to the problem. I had to make the best decision at the time to protect my family. They were unsafe situations that potentially had fatal results. Being that the last 2 times this happened we were left stranded in traffic, during late hours with absolutely no electrical power and my children in the car, it was impossible to wait to be towed in. The dealership only stated, ' have it towed in when it happens'. After taking it to the dealership they once again said they could not find a problem. Being that we were in imminent danger, I had to disconnect the battery and let the system reset. They stopped in front of our vehicle and turned on their hazards to provide warning for other vehicles. We noticed headlights coming at us in the distance, luckily quick thinking and use of a flashlight we were able to warn the oncoming vehicle of our position in their lane. Once in complete darkness we noticed we had shifted into the oncoming lane of traffic. The power steering was lost, headlights off and all other electrical functions were unavailable. The vehicle completely shut down and was making the clicking noises. It was 10:30 pm, no street lights and nothing but steep terrain on the sides. 26,2014 while traveling in the mountains of north carolina. Since the purchase there have been 5 incidents where the van has lost all electrical power making clicking noises, and leaving us stranded. We purchased this 2011 Chrysler town and country as a new vehicle in Jan. What should I do? not drive my vehicle at night anymore? who going to pay to fix this? no injury or fatality yet but what are my chances since I have to drive at night with no headlights and no way to fix them?. Customer rep 'was sorry I felt this way' and that there has been no reported issues regarding this (I find this hard to believe with backlog of parts). I talked to Chrysler and they said maybe they could expedite the part but I said why do I have to pay to fix their problems. What am I supposed to do? I spent $40,000+ on a vehicle and this is another problem I have had with vehicle (radio, warped disc on brakes and of course the key issues everyone talks about). So now I have to drive my wife and 3 kids in a vehicle with no headlights because the vehicle I drive is a Ford e-250 cargo van with only 2 seats. 05 but it is not available because it is backordered on the Chrysler parts system, it looks like other people are having this same problem. The part to fix my vehicle lists from Chrysler for $819. I took it to my local mechanic and it was diagnosed as a bad fuse box or module as they call it (mechanic googled the problem for 2010 Chrysler town and country no headlights - read the responses!!). When I drive at night I have to use my hazards for other vehicles to see me. I have a 2010 Chrysler town and country minivan. My headlights failing could have caused a serious accident and death!. I drive with my headlights on all the time to make myself more visible to other drivers. Driving a Mini van with children without headlights is a major safety issue even during the day if it is raining. From what I have read many people have had this issue and some paid to get work done and it didn't resolve the issue. I asked if I paid for what they think would fix it and it doesn't repair do I get the money back the answer was no. I was told by the dealer they never heard of what has happened it would cost $90 to diagnose. My 2005 town and country had the same issue which is why I ended up trading it in. I googled the issue many people have the same thing. I had to drive with my hazards on until I could get a friend to meet me and I could follow them home with my hazards. I could not see I had to get off the road. While driving on a interstate 95 at approx 8:30 pm the headlights blinked then went out.
