2015 Chrysler Town & Country Complaint Log

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR WILL SEEM LIKE IT PUSHES BACK AS IF THE SHIFTING GEAR IS HOLD BACK. NOW IT STARTED SHAKING TO AS I SPED UP ON THE INTERSTATE TO THE POINT WERE I COULD NOT PUT MY FOOT ON THE GAS. THE SHAKING LAST ABOUT 5 MINUTES AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. IT ALSO DID NOT WANT TO START RIGHT AWAY.

SOME TYPE OF RUMBLING NOISE AND FEELING AT DRIVER SIDE WHEEL. ROTOR SCORED ON FRONT DRIVER SIDE, BUT SMOOTH ON FRONT PASSENGER SIDE. WHILE IN MOTION.

CHRYSLER 2014 -2019 TOWN & COUNTRY PASSENGER VANS ARE HAVING NUMEROUS LOW COMPRESSION PROBLEMS ON ANY OR ALL CYLINDERS IN MID RANGE MILEAGE ODOMETER READINGS ( OURS AT 87,000 MI.) SHOOTING ENGINE LIGHTS ON..-AFTER CHANGING ALL SPARK PLUGS AND THE COIL SPECIFICALLY ON CYLINDER 4 THAT THREW THE ENGINE LIGHT ON...THE MECHANICS ARE SAYING THEIR IS STILL MORE INTERNAL PROBLEMS IN THESE ENGINES WITH LOW COMPRESSION MAKING THE VEHICLES RUN ROUGH AT IDLE BUT PROBLEMS WILL GET WORSE AS WRONG MIXTURES OF GASOLINE WILL CREATE FURTHER EMISSION PROBLEMS AND MAY RESULT IN THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS FAILING .... COULD YOU AS THE NHTSA RESEARCH THE EXTENT OF THE PROBLEMS AND WORK ON A RECALL ???? BEFORE THE INITIAL REPAIR OF CYLINDER 4 THE CAR AT HI WAY SPEEDS DID LOSE ACCELERATION AND CAUSED PROBLEMS ENTERING HI SPEED HI WAYS SITUATIONS...

TRANSMISSION JERKS AFTER JUST 5-10 MINUTES OF RUNNING THE VEHICLE. IN HEAVY STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, IT JERKS AND TREMBLES, THEN SHUTS DOWN AFTER STOPPING. THIS IS STILL HAPPENING EVEN TWO MONTHS AFTER IT WAS REPAIRED BY THE DEALER.

IN JUNE THE ENGINE HAD TO BE REPLACED IN MY VEHICLE. IN MAY, THE OIL CONTAINER WAS REPLACED. NOW IN SEPTEMBER THE TRANSMISSION IS BEING REPLACED. LAST YEAR SOMETIME, THERE WERE ELECTRICAL ISSUES ADDRESSED. NOW THE AIR CONDITIONING IN THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE DOES NOT WORK. IT SEEMS WE ARE TOTALLY REBUILDING THE CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY 2015 ALL AT SUBSTANTIAL COSTS TO ME. WHILE THEY ARE PUTTING IN A NEW TRANSMISSION, THEY TELL ME THAT THEY ARE TOO BUSY TO CHECK THE ELECTRICAL ISSUE AND THE AIR CONDITIONING TROUBLES. YET I WAITED FOR NEARLY A MONTH FOR A WESTCHESTER DEALER TO REPLACE THE ENGINE AND THEY DID NOT HONOR MY ADDITIONAL INSURANCE BY GIVING ME A RENTAL VEHICLE - SO I HAD NO TRANSPORTATION. I HAVE HAD A HORRIBLE TIME WITH THE TROUBLES, INCONVENIENCES AND COSTS. DON'T I HAVE ANY RIGHTS HERE? I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE ON NARROW STREETS IN A BUSY RESORT AREA - THANK GOD IT WAS VERY EARLY IN THE MORNING BECAUSE THE CAR JUST STOPPED RUNNING WITH NO WARNING. THIS TURNED OUT TO BE TRANSMISSION ON SUNDAY MORNING LABOR DAY WEEKEND! I AM STILL IN THE RESORT AREA PAYING FOR HOUSING WHILE THEY "FIX" MY TRANSMISSION. PARTS WERE TO ARRIVE YESTERDAY SEPT 10TH BUT DIDN'T ARRIVE UNTIL EARLY THIS EVENING. THEY ARE NOT SURE THEY CAN HAVE IT FIXED BY FRIDAY SEPT 13, 2019. LAST SUMMER THE ELECTRICAL STABILITY WENT BONKERS. THAT WAS ANOTHER ISSUE. ALSO MY VEHICLE KEEPS GOING DOWN IN VALUE. I OWE MORE ON IT THAN IT IS NOW WORTH. DOCUMENTATION IS WITH MY VEHICLE WHICH IS CURRENTLY UNDERGOING TRANSMISSION REPAIRS. THAT IS DOCUMENTATION OF ALL OF THESE REPAIRS SINCE MAKING THIS PURCHASE LESS THAN 18 MONTHS AGO.

RIGHT FRONT SEAT ACTIVE HEADREST DEPLOYED WITH A LOAD BANG WHILE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A STATE ROAD. THE INTERIOR OF THE ACTIVE HEADREST HAD BROKEN PIECES, SO IT CANNOT BE RESET.

ON ONE OF OUR LAST VISITS ON JUNE 12, 2019, I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN BECAUSE IT WAS MAKING AN AWFUL WHINING NOISE AND JOLTING WHEN ACCELERATED AND WHEN I WOULD BRAKE IT WOULD SHAKE. UPON INSPECTION THE DEALER INFORMED US THAT THE WHINING AND JOLTING WAS DUE TO THE TRANSMISSION FAILING AND NEEDED REPLACING THROUGH WARRANTY. THEY ALSO TOLD US MY AUTOMOBILE WAS SHAKING WHEN BRAKING BECAUSE IT NEEDED NEW BRAKES, WHICH WERE NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. I DECLINED THE REPLACEMENT SERVICE FOR THE BRAKES DUE TO THEIR EXCESSIVE FEES UPWARD OF $800. WE PICKED UP OUR VEHICLE ON JUNE 25, 2019, AFTER THE TRANSMISSION ISSUE WAS ADDRESSED. WE THEN VISITED AN AUTO BRAKE VENDOR AND THEY INFORMED US OUR BRAKES WERE STILL GOOD AND DIDN'T NEED REPLACING, NOT WHAT THE DEALER TOLD US. SO WE DROVE OUR CAR FOR 2 MONTHS WITH AN UNKNOWN SHAKING WHEN BRAKING. COME AUGUST WE BEGIN TO NOTICE THE VEHICLE JOLTING A BIT AGAIN WHEN ACCELERATING. ON AUGUST 28, 2019, WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE WITH MY 4 KIDS IN IT AFTER SCHOOL, THE BRAKES GAVE OUT IT; TOOK ME PRESSING THE PEDAL TO THE BOTTOM TO FINALLY GET THE CAR TO STOP, NEARLY MISSING THE CAR IN FRONT OF US. I PULLED OVER IMMEDIATELY AND CALLED THE DEALER BECAUSE I KNEW THIS WAS NOT A SIMPLE BRAKE PAD ISSUE. THE DEALER TOLD ME TO TAKE THE CAR TO THEM IMMEDIATELY. WHEN I ARRIVED THE SERVICE ATTENDANT INFORMED US THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED TO BE INSPECTED WHICH WOULD PROBABLY NOT BE UNTIL THE FOLLOWING DAY SINCE IT WAS LATER IN THE AFTERNOON. THE FOLLOWING DAY I WAS INFORMED BY THE DEALER THAT THE VEHICLES BRAKE BOOSTER HAD FAILED AND THAT THE TRANSMISSION AND ENGINE HEAD BOLTS WERE BROKEN. HOW IS IT THAT THE TRANSMISSION HEAD BOLTS WERE BROKEN WHEN THEY HAD JUST RECONSTRUCTED IT 2 MONTHS PRIOR AND WHY WAS THE BRAKING ISSUE NOT CORRECTLY DIAGNOSED DURING THAT SAME JUNE VISIT INSTEAD OF TRYING TO SELL ME OVERPRICED BRAKES AND PUTTING MY FAMILY IN DANGER.

THE TRANSMISSION PUMP NEEDS TO BE REPLACED ONLY A YEAR AFTER THE TRANSMISSION ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED. I WAS DRIVING WHEN THE GEARS KEPT MAKING A WHINING NOISE AND WEREN'T SHIFTING AS EASILY AS BEFORE. ACCELERATION WAS LONGER AND MADE MERGING IN AND OUT VERY DANGEROUS. ACCORDING TO THE CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT, MY VEHICLE DOESN'T QUALIFY FOR A RECALL REPAIR EVEN THOUGH THE PUMP WAS RECALLED FOR THIS VEHICLE TYPE AND YEAR.

WHILE DRIVING AND AFTER 5 TO 10 MINUTES IT STARTS TO NOT AUTOMATICALLY SHIFT INTO ORHER GEARS AS NORMAL. I FIND THAT THE RPM READINGS ARE BETWEEN 5 AND 6 WHILE THE VEHICLE WILL ONLY GO 30 TO 40 MPH. THIS HAPPENED ON A HIGHWAY WITH MINIMUM SPEEDS AT 55 MPH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. WHILE THE CONTACT'S SPOUSE WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADREST SUDDENLY EXPLODED, INJURING THE PASSENGER ON THE UPPER BACK AND HEAD. THE PASSENGER EXPERIENCED SOME PAIN IN THAT REGION, BUT DID NOT RECEIVE MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 73,203.

THE CINCH MOTOR STARTED VIBRATING LIKE A JACKHAMMER WHENEVER THE BACK PASSENGER DOOR WOULD SLIDE CLOSED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY. AFTER LESS THAN A WEEK OF THIS THE DOOR REFUSED TO OPEN AT ALL.

THIS HAS BEEN AN OFF AND ON AGAIN OCCURENCE WITH THIS CAR IT COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN AND I HAVE VISITED THE DEALERSHIP OFTEN AND THEY ARE TURN ME AWAY FOR REPAIRS AND OR FIXING OF SAID VEHICLE WITHOUT THROWING MONEY AT IT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND CONCERN FOR MY FAMILY AS MY KIDS RIDE IN THIS CAR ALMOST EVERYDAY. WE NEED A RELIABLE VEHICLE AND WE ARE GETTING NO HELP FROM DEALERSHIPS AND THIS CAR NEEDS TO ADDRESSED.

WHEN I BRAKE AT A LIGHT THERE IS A JERKING AND HESITATION.. ONE TIME IT STALLED OUT COMPLETELY RIGHT AFTER BREAKING AT THE LIGHT ON A BUSY CITY STREET

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BODY TRIM PANEL DETACHED FROM THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 61,000.

THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO DEPRESS THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THE CONTACT MANAGED TO DRIVE AT LOW SPEEDS TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE POWER TRAIN FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY OPEN RECALLS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 104,000. *TT *TR 'PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).'*JB

THE DRIVERS SIDE ACTIVE HEAD RESTRAINT DEPLOYED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WAITING AT A DRIVE THROUGH.

ON 7/17/2019 WHILE TRAVELING DOWN A LOCAL HIGHWAY THE DRIVER SIDE HEADREST EXPLODED HITTING ME IN THE BACK OF THE NECK. PULLED OFF ROAD IMMEDIATELY. PROCEEDED TO THE DEALERSHIP OF PURCHASE. LICENSED CHRYSLER SERVICE PERSON ATTEMPTED TO RE-SET. DETERMINED HEADREST WAS BROKEN AND THEY WOULD ORDER NEW. DID NOT TELL US THERE IS A CLASS ACTION SUIT IN THE PROCESS REGARDING THESE HEADRESTS.THANKFULLY NO SERIOUS INJURY, OTHER THAN A HEADACHE AND DIZZY WHICH LASTED ABOUT 3 HOURS. WAS INFORMED ITEM IS BACK ORDERED AND NO IDEA WHEN IT WILL BE AVAILABLE. MAYBE NEXT YEAR. WE TRAVEL TO FL IN THE FALL AND NEED THIS SAFETY FEATURE IN OPERATION FOR THIS TRIP. WE OBTAINED A PRE-WORK ORDER AND WAS TOLD IT MEANS NOTHING SINCE NO WORK HAS BEEN ORDERED. SERVICE TECH DID NOT KNOW IF HEADREST WAS FAULTY OR NOT. HE SAID A SPEED BUMP CAN DISLODGE IT OR EVEN A POT HOLE. REALLY?? PLEASE HELP US. *DT *DT *DT*JB

I OBSERVED THE STEERING CONTROLS WERE NOT WORKING FOR THE RADIO OR ANY OTHER CONTROLS ASSOCIATED WITH THE BUTTONS ON THE STEERING WHEEL WHILE DRIVING TO WORK. I COULD NOT CHANGE THE MENU FOR THE SPEEDOMETER AND OTHER FUNCTIONS WHEN PARKED. I ALSO COULD NOT USE THE HORN AT ALL WHICH I CONSIDER A SAFETY FEATURE. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I FOUND THAT THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM WAS RECALLED FOR THE GRAND CARAVAN FOR EARLIER MODELS BUT NOT FOR THIS VEHICLE. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH CHRYSLER FOR THE REPAIR BUT THE SOONEST THEY COULD TAKE ME WAS IN APPROXIMATELY A MONTH, AUGUST 14. SINCE I TRAVEL TO AND FROM WORK AT NIGHT ALONE AND WITH THREE YOUNG CHILDREN, I HAD THE REPAIR DONE IMMEDIATELY AT A LOCAL REPUTABLE REPAIR SHOP. THE PART REPLACED WAS THE STEERING WHEEL MODULE AND THE PART ALONE WAS $469 PLUS LABOR. THE TOTAL COST WAS OVER $750 FOR WHICH I HAVE THE REPAIR BILL. THIS IS A FAULTY DESIGN TO A PART THAT IS CLOSED UP IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND HAS FAILED FOR NO APPARENT REASON IN THE SAME MODEL CAR FROM DODGE/CHRYSLER AND FROM WHAT I HAVE READ, JEEP BRAND AS WELL. NOT ACCEPTABLE.

WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, THE DRIVER SIDE HEAD REST POPPED OUT AND WILL NOT SNAP BACK IN PLACE

WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET, THE FRONT SEAT ACTIVE HEAD RESTRAINT RELEASED CAUSING IT TO PROPEL FORWARD. UPON INSPECTION, THE PIN WHICH IS LATCHED HOLDING THE HEAD RESTRAINT CLOSED, WAS HELD BY A PLASTIC RETAINER WHICH FATIGUED & FAILED.*DT*JB

REAR AIR CONDITIONING EVAPORATOR PIPING LEAKING FREON 134A INTO CAR. DYE CHECKED AND FOUND IT WAS IN TUBING NOT AT A JOINT. SHOULD BE MANUFACTURER DEFECT

MY TRANSMISSION. DO NOT BUY FROM SAFFORD DEALERSHIP IN WARRENTON VA!!!! OR CHRYSLER OR DO NOT BUY THE WARRANTY, IT IS A RIP OFF. THEY CHARGE YOU AND THAN DON'T HONOR IT!! THEY TELL MANY LIES TO GET OUT OF PAYING FOR THE REPAIRS AND TO GET OUT OF THE WARRANTY HAVE ALREADY PAID FOR. I HAVE BOUGHT MANY CARS AND WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND CHRYSLER!! LOOK AT ALL THE OTHER REVIEWS BEFORE BUYING.

DRIVERS SIDE HEAD REST POPPED APART WHILE I WAS SITTING IN THE VEHICLE!! IT'S SPRING LOADED AND THE ONLY THING HOLDING IT TOGETHER ARE 2 SMALL PLASTIC CLIPS!! I WAS NOT IN MOTION WHEN IT HAPPENED!!

I NOTICED THAT AT RANDOM TIMES THE AIRBAG LIGHT WOULD ILLUMINATE, EVEN WHILE THERE WAS NO ONE IN THE SEAT. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND TOOK IT IN BUT BECAUSE AT THE TIME IT WAS NOT ON, THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THEN AFTER SOME TIME WITH THE AIRBAG LIGHT GOING ON AND OFF THE CRUISE CONTROL WILL NO LONGER WORK. IT DOES NOT EVEN RECOGNIZE THAT YOU ARE PRESSING THE BUTTON. DEALERSHIP WAS ALSO NOTIFIED IN THIS CASE, AND BECAUSE MY WARRANTY EXPIRED AT 60000 MILES AND THE VEHICLE IS AT 67000 IT IS NOT COVERED. IT DOES NOT MATTER IF THE VEHICLE SPEED, THE AIRBAG LIGHTS JUST GO ON AND OFF. IT DOES NOT ALWAYS COME ON.

DRIVERS SIDE HEADREST DEPLOYED WHILE DRIVING AT 50 MPH ON HIGHWAY 64 IN FLORIDA STRIKEING ME IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD. IT HIT ME VERY HARD AND CAUSED GREAT CONFUSION UNTIL I FIGURED OUT WHAT HAPPENED

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE DRIVERS HEAD REST SEPARATED. IS STILL HINGED AT BOTTOM BUT REMAINS SEPARATED. CANNOT BE PUSHED BACK TOGETHER. *AS CONSUMER STATED THE FOLLOWING EMAIL AND ATTACHMENTS FOR ESCALATED FOR TICKET # 200528: ATTACHING PHOTOS OF BROKEN PLASTIC PARTS INSIDE HEADREST. VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN DOWN THE ROAD WHEN HEADREST SEPARATED AND HIT DRIVER IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD. NO INJURY'S. NO ACCIDENT INVOLVED. I THINK THIS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED DEFECTIVE AND REPLACED OR RECALLED. THIS HEADREST IS EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE. IT BROKE THRU NO FAULT OF THE OWNER AND SHOULD NOT HAVE BROKEN DUE TO AGE OR ABUSE. THE VEHICLE HAS 10K MILES EVEN THOUGH IT IS OUT OF THE 3 YEAR WARRANTY. IT REALLY IS OWNED AND DRIVEN BY AN 84 YEAR OLD WOMAN TO CHURCH AND WALMART. IT IS NOT ABUSED. IT LOOKS LIKE IT CAME OFF THE SHOWROOM FLOOR. *JB

DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR ON PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR REPLACED BEFORE 60,000 MILES.

IN MAY 2018, MY VAN LOST ALL POWER WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. THE ACCELERATOR WAS PRESSED AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND THE RPM JUST DROPPED STRAIGHT TO 0. I SOON LOST MY POWER STEERING BUT WAS STILL ABLE TO GET THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I STILL HAD LIGHT/RADIO FUNCTION. THE CAR WOULD NOT RESTART. I HAD IT TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP. THEY PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC AND REPLACED MY TIPM. THE CAR WORKED AFTER REPLACEMENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE FRONT DRIVER'S SEAT HEADREST AIR BAG SUDDENLY DEPLOYED WITHOUT IMPACT. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED A HEADACHE AND NECK INJURY, WHICH DID NOT REQUIRE MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ELM GROVE CHRYSLER (2538 NATIONAL RD, WHEELING, WV) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 17,000. *DT*JB

I REPORTED ISSUES WITH MY TRANSMISSION WHEN THE VEHICLE HAD 19212 MILES ON IT. THE PROBLEM REPORTED HAS BEEN HARD SHIFTING AND HARD DOWN SHIFT AT STOPS. PROBLEMS OCCUR IN CITY DRIVING CONDITIONS. RECENTLY, NOW AT 49100 MILES, 2ND GEAR ISN'T KICKING IN. DANGEROUS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC WHEN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC HAS THE TENDENCY TO COME TO A STOP AND THEN GO BUT IF THE VEHICLE DOESN'T SHIFT TO SECOND GEAR. I NEED TO PULL OVER AND SHUT THE VEHICLE DOWN AND TURN IT BACK ON AND HOPE IT WILL TEMPORARY FIX. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT MY DEALERSHIP SAID I NEEDED AND OIL CHANGE (RECOMMENDED IS 60K FOR TRANSMISSION). I WENT AHEAD AND PAID FOR THIS SERVICE BUT THE PROBLEM STILL EXIST IN 2ND GEAR NOT SHIFTING IN. THE DEALER SERVICE ADVISOR SAID MY VEHICLE NEEDS TO RE-LEARN MY DRIVING CONDITIONS. I'M WEARY ABOUT THE ADVISORS EXPLANATION AND WILL FIND THAT AT 60K POWERTRAIN WARRANTY EXPIRATION. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WILL DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM AT MY COST. AS IT HAS OCCURRED WITH MY WINDOW MOTOR/REGULATOR. I REPORTED A DISTINCT NOISE WHEN OPERATING THE WINDOWS AT THE SAME MILEAGE NOTED ABOVE. NO PROBLEMS FOUND. TODAY MY VEHICLE IS IN THE SHOP FOR THE SAME PROBLEM BUT IT'S OUT OF WARRANTY AND I WILL BE RECEIVING A CALL WITH THE COST TO REPAIR IT.

FIRST REPORTED MY TRANSMISSION CONCERN AT 19212 MILES WITH THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT. HARD SHIFTING AND SLIPPED DOWNSHIFT AT STOPS. AT 49100 MILES THE 2ND GEAR ISN'T SHIFTING IN AND REQUIRES FOR ME TO STOP, PULL OVER AND START THE VEHICLE AGAIN. THE SERVICE ADVISOR RECOMMENDED A TRANSMISSION OIL CHANGE. BUT I CONTINUE TO HAVE A SHIFTING PROBLEM AND THE ADVISOR CLAIMS MY VEHICLE NEEDS TO RE-LEARN MY DRIVING HABITS. IT CONCERNS ME TO HAVE THIS AS AN EXPLANATION WHEN THERE IS ONLY 1 YERRA/60K LEFT ON MY POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. IN ADDITION WITH 19212 MILES I REPORTED MY DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW MAKING AN UNUSUAL NOISE. DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID NO PROBLEMS EXISTED. AT 49100 MILES MY DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW IS COMPLETELY UNSERVICEABLE AND NOW I'M TOLD I WILL GET A CALL WITH REPAIR COST.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE RPMS INCREASED, THE VEHICLE MADE AN ABNORMAL NOISE, AND STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND DID NOT MOVE WHEN IT WAS SHIFTED INTO DRIVE. THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WAS "PUSHED" BY ANOTHER VEHICLE TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE CONTACT CALLED EWALD CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM FRANKLIN AT 414-427-2000 (LOCATED AT 6319 S 108TH ST, FRANKLIN, WI 53132) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

TRANSMISSION FAILURE WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS

WHILE MY CAR WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY AT MY HOUSE, THE HEADREST POPPED OUT.

THE LANE DETECTION SYSTEM HAS CORRODED AND NO LONGER FUNCTIONS. I TURNED THE SYSTEM OFF BUT NOW A ELECTRICAL SHORT IS BEING CAUSED BY THE PROBLEM. THIS SHORT CAUSES THE WIPERS TO ENGAGE, THE WARNING LIGHTS (MULTIPLE) TO GO OFF ON THE DASH, AND THE SPEEDOMETER NO LONGER FUNCTIONS. THE CAR HAS FEWER THAN 70,000 MILES.

AUTOMATIC SLIDING DOOR ENGAGED AND TRAPPED ARM OF CHILD REQUIRING 2 ADULTS TO FORCEFULLY OPEN. CHILD TRAPPED FOR MORE THAN 1 MINUTE.

MY CAR BEGAN SHAKING WITH ACCELERATION AND THEN WITH IDLE. UPON AN ELECTRICAL DIAGNOSTIC CODE IT WAS REPORTED A CYLINDER 4 ISSUE. MY VAN HAS LESS THAN 67000 MILES.

THE LOCKS ON 3 OF THE DOORS QUIT WORKING. THE RIGHT SIDE SLIDING DOOR WAS STUCK ON UNLOCK, NOT ABLE TO LOCK THE DOOR. THE LEFT SLIDING DOOR IS STUCK ON LOCK, CANNOT OPEN THE DOOR. THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR, NEEDS TO BE UNLOCKED 3 TIMES BEFORE IT RELEASES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE VIOLENTLY SHIFTED GEARS INTERMITTENTLY. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 84,069.

VEHICLE HAS 33,000 MILES ON IT AND NEEDS A TOTAL TRANSMISSION REBUILD. IT HAS BEEN TO 2 TRANSMISSION SPECIALISTS AND 1 DEALERSHIP AND HAS HAD SENSORS AND THE TCM REPLACED AND REPROGRAMMED. IT IS STILL SHIFTING ERRATICALLY AND WILL STALL OUT REGULARLY, USUALLY IN THE MIDDLE OF TURNS OFTEN LEADING TO A STALLED VEHICLE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION ACTING LIKE IT'S IN NEUTRAL. VEHICLE HAS TO BE SHIFTED INTO PARK AND THEN BACK TO DRIVE FOR IT TO RESET ITSELF. VERY UNSAFE. CAR DOES HAVE A PRIOR FLOOD SALVAGE TITLE BUT IT IS FROM A OPEN WINDOW THAT ONLY AFFECTED THE INTERIOR MINORLY, NO DAMAGE UNDER THE HOOD. AFTER THE TCM WAS REPLACED IT IS THROWING CODES P0731, P0792, P1790. WAS NOT THROWING ANY CODES PRIOR TO THE TCM REPLACEMENT 3 WEEKS AGO. ISSUE ALSO HAPPENS FROM A STOP WITH NO TURN. ISSUES STARTED SUMMER OF 2017 AND HAVE BEEN GETTING WORSE.

PROBLEMS STARTED AT APPROXIMATELY 94,000 MILES. VEHICLE WOULD BUCK, CHOKE, SPUTTER, WITH RPM FLUCTUATIONS AND SOMETIMES STALL OUT WHILE APPROACHING A STOP. TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALER WHO TEST DROVE IT AND COULD NOT GET IT TO REPLICATE. TOOK IT IN TO ANOTHER MECHANIC WHOM ALSO COULD REPLICATE THE ISSUE BUT SUGGESTED IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION. SINCE I KNEW IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY, I NEEDED THE DEALER TO BE ABLE TO CONFIRM. NO ERROR CODES EVER FIRED. VEHICLE WAS PODDED TWICE BY THE DEALER. PROBLEM WAS SPORADIC WITH SOME DAYS NOT HAPPENING AT ALL AND OTHER DAYS HAPPENING 5+ TIMES OR IT WOULD ALMOST STALL EVERY TIME I CAME TO A STOP. FINALLY ABLE TO GET IT TO REPLICATE ABOUT 3 WEEKS INTO THE ISSUES WITH A LOCAL DEALER (NOT THE DEALER WHERE CAR WAS PURCHASED) AND HE SUSPECTED TRANSMISSION BUT THEY WERE A MONTH OUT WITH REPAIRS. APPOINTMENT MADE WITH ORIGINAL DEALER AND AGAIN, SERVICE FOREMAN COULD NOT GET THE CAR TO REPLICATE. I BEGGED THEM TO TAKE IT FOR A DAY AND I'D PAY FOR A RENTAL TO FIND OUT WHAT WAS GOING ON AS WE STILL HAD NO ERROR CODES. AT THIS POINT, THE VEHICLE IS AT 95000 MILES. THE SERVICE MANAGER TOOK IT OUT TWICE THE DAY I DROPPED IT OFF AND NOTHING HAPPENED. THE SECOND DAY HE WAS THEN ABLE TO GET IT TO REPLICATE 10-15 TIMES! HE CONFIRMED IT WAS THE COMPOUNDER IN THE TRANSMISSION AND IT IS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.

TRANSMISSION SLIPPING

VEHICLE IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD AND STARTED MAKING A CONSTANT CLICKING NOISE THAT WOULD SPEED UP WITH THE SPEED OF THE CAR IN ADDITION TO THAT THE RPM SHOOTS UP BUTVEHICLE STRUGGLES TO SPEED UP, TOOK IT IN TO GET LOOKED AT, THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION ARE GOING OUT AND IS GOING TO COST MORE TO FIX THAN THE CAR IS WORTH. ALSO THE AIR BAG IN THE PASSENGER HEAD REST EXPLODED EARLIER IN THE YEAR WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS MOVING AND WAS NOT IN AN ACCIDENT, AND THE BACK PASSENGER DOOR WILL MECHANICALLY OPEN BUT NOT SHUT. THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF PROBLEMS FOR ONLY BEING 3 YEARS OLD.

SEATBELT ALARM FOR DRIVERS SEAT KEEPS GOING OFF WHEN DRIVING EVEN THOUGH IT'S SECURELY ON. OTHER TIMES A BELL DINGS ONCE TO INDICATE SOMETHING ELSE BUT NOTHING COMES UP ON DASHBOARD INDICATING WHAT IT IS. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION AND NOT IN MOTION & STILL IN PARK ALSO. THIS IS BECOMING MORE FREQUENT. BRINGING IT IN

THE TRANSMISSION IS GIVING A LOW PRESSURE CODE P0868 IN LINE WITH OTHER RECALLS OF THIS MAKE AND MODEL. I AM HAVING TO TAKE THE TRANSMISSION INTO THE DEALER FOR SERVICE. THE PROBLEMS WHERE NOTICE IN NOVEMBER OF 2018 WHILE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION.

THE EVENTS DESCRIBED TAKE PLACE ON THE LOT OF AN AUTO AUCTION. ON 11/27/18 A COUPLE CO-WORKERS OF MINE APPROACH ME REGARDING LOOKING AT OUR SECURITY CAMERA FOOTAGE TO SEE SOMETHING IN PARTICULAR. WE TAKE A GANDER AND WHAT WE SEE SHOCKS US. A 2015 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY LOOKS LIKE ANY OTHER. WHEN IT WAS PULLED ONTO THE LOT, THEY BEGAN CHECKING IT IN. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN RUNNING FOR ABOUT HALF AN HOUR, IT WAS PARKED, EMERGENCY BRAKE PULLED AND THE VEHICLE WAS PUT INTO PARK. MY CO-WORKERS GO INTO OUR GARAGE, LEAVING THE VAN IDLING IN THE LOT. THE SECURITY FOOTAGE SHOWS THAT, EVEN THOUGH THE PARKING BRAKE WAS PULLED AND VAN PUT INTO IDLE, THE VAN STARTED ROLLING ON IT'S OWN. IT ROLLED ITSELF ALL THE WAY INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE ON OUR LOT. WHEN THE VAN WAS FOUND, IT WAS NO LONGER IN PARK, BUT IN EITHER NEUTRAL OR DRIVE. THE PARKING BREAK, WAS NO LONGER SET. I CAN PROVIDE VIDEO FOOTAGE UPON REQUEST.

TRANSMISSION LOST POWER CAUSING MY CAR TO STOP IN TRAFFIC. THE ONLY WAY IT WORKS IS IF IT COOLS DOWN AND THEN IT STILL ONLY WORKS FOR A FEW MINUTES.

PASSENGER HEADREST AIRBAG/WHIPLASH EXPAND SAFETY DEVICE. INTERNAL PLASTIC BRACKET FAILED AND CAUSED THE HEADREST TO EXPAND AND CANNOT BE RESET. THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE DRIVEWAY AND NOT MOVING WHEN THE HEADREST JUST LOUDLY EXPANDED, NO ONE WAS SETTING IN THE SEAT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE ENGINE SEIZED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO SAFELY DRIVE OFF THE ROAD AND PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT. THE CONTACT CALLED HER SPOUSE AND THEY HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO MURRAY CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE (15160 US-301 S, STARKE, FL 32091, (904) 964-3200) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT A TRANSAXLE OIL PUMP NEEDED TO BE INSTALLED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 92,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY (APPROX 70 MPH), RIGHT FRONT MICHELIN DEFENDER TIRE SIDEWALL BLEW OUT DESTROYING TIRES AND ALMOST CAUSING CRASH, BUT PUSHING CAR INTO DITCH ON SIDE OF ROAD. THESE TIRES WERE A YEAR AND A HALF OLD AND HAD APPROXIMATELY 30,000 MILES ON THEM.
