Electrical system complaints dominate owner reports for the 2010 Town and Country by a wide margin. The most common pattern involves sudden, complete power loss while driving, owners describe the vehicle shutting off without warning, taking power steering and power braking with it. Many reports point to the Wireless Ignition Node module as the component that fails, and several owners note the problem recurs even after repair. Engine complaints are the second-most-reported system, though at a much lower volume. A smaller but consistent thread in the electrical complaints involves the ignition switch behaving erratically, with the vehicle either stalling fully or dropping to very low speeds before cutting out. The power-loss event tends to happen in motion rather than at startup, which means steering and braking assistance disappear at the same moment the engine does.

By System
The 2010 Chrysler Town and Country has 3 recalls, the most serious involving the driver's airbag and ignition: the steering wheel emblem or its mounting hardware can break free as projectiles during airbag deployment, and the ignition key can slip out of the run position while driving, cutting engine power without warning.
The third recall applies only to wheelchair-accessible versions of this vehicle. On those models, the bolts securing removable seats to the floor can break in a crash, allowing the seat and its occupant to move freely inside the cabin rather than staying anchored in place.
