2012 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY Complaints

THE REAR SLIDING DOORS OF MY 2012 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY VAN HAS ISSUES. WHEN BEGINNING TO DRIVE AND THE DOORS AUTOMATICALLY LOCK THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR BUZZES A WARNING. PASSENGERS THINK THE DOOR IS ABOUT TO OPEN. SOMETIMES THE FOB WILL AND WON'T LOCK THE DOOR AS IT SHOULD. NO CONSISTENCY TO THIS FOB PROBLEM BUT THE BUZZING OCCURS EVERY TIME YOU PUT VAN INTO GEAR AND BEGIN DRIVING.

WHILE VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN ON NEIGHBORHOOD STREET, APPROX 25MPH IT LOST TRANSMISSION ENGAGEMENT AND THE ENGINE BEGAN TO REV, THE VEHICLE THEN CAME TO A SCREECHING HALT AND WOULD NOT MOVE. VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND THEN STARTED AGAIN, MOVING FROM PARK, THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT ENGAGE. TOLD BY MECHANIC THAT TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED DUE TO COMPLETE FAILURE

IT STARTED WITH MY WIPERS CONTINUEING TO RUN AND WHEN THE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF. THE TIPM WAS DIAGNOSED BY TWO MACHANICS AS BEING THE ISSUE. IN WAITING TO HAVE THE FUNDS TO HAVE THE TIPM REPLACED MY CAR IS NOW SHIFTING INTO DRIVE 2 AND DRIVE1 ON ITS OWN WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT OTHER OWNERS HAVING THE SAME SAFETY ISSUE.

OIL COOLER HOUSING DEFECTIVE CRACKS UNDER PRESSURE OR OVERHEATING. DRIVER SIDE POWER SEAT FAILURE MAJOR SAFETY ISSUES. POWER TRAIN ROUGH SHIFTING.

UPPER TOP ENGINE CAMSHAFT ROLLERS ARE DEFECTIVE ALSO ELECTRONICA FUEL INJECTION PROBLEMS FOLLOWED BY FAULTY DASH TEMPERATURE GAUGE ALSO DRIVER SIDE SEAT HAS A DEFECTIVE LEFT SIDE MOTOR WITH FAULTY SEAT BELT HOLDER

I HAVE A 2012 CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY. ITS STARTED INTERMITTENTLY NOT SHIFTING OUT OF PARK. I CAN SHUT IT OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON THEN IT WILL WORK. SOMETIMES I HAVE TO RESTART IT A FEW TIMES BEFORE IT WILL WORK. THIS HAPPENS WHETHER IT IS INITIALLY PARKED AND NOT RUNNING, OUR IF ITS ALREADY RUNNING AND I PUT IT INTO PARK AND TRY TO PUT IT BACK INTO DRIVE (SUCH AS PUTTING IN PARK TO WAIT ON A TRAIN)

IGNITION SWITCH FAILURE. WON'T START HAVE A HARD TIME GETTING TO KEY TO TURN THE ENGINE OVER HAVE TO WIGGLE AND PRESS HARD TO START . TAKES A LONG TIME TO FIDDLE WITH IN ORDER TO START .

WHEN COMING TO A STOP THE ENGINE WILL SHUT OFF INDETERMINATELY. WILL HAVE TO PUT IN PARK AND RESTART THE ENGINE.

IN STARTING VAN, ENGINE WAS TURNING OVER WHEN KEY TURNED BUT NOT TO THE POINT OF RUNNING. AFTER 5-8 ATTEMPTS IT WOULD CRANK AND ALSO SPUTTERED IN BETWEEN ATTEMPTS. CAR WAS STATIONARY. THIS WAS A SUDDEN ONSET OF SYMPTOMS THAT HAPPENED ON VACATION. RECOGNIING WE HAD ADDITIONAL DAYS ON OUR TRIP PLUS THE RIDE HOME, I TOOK TO LOCAL REPAIR SHOP. IN ROUTE, IT SPUTTERED LIKE IT WANTED TO QUIT. THE DIAGNOSIS WAS FUEL PUMP AND FUEL PUMP RELAY FAILED PRESSURE TEST AND DIAGNOSIS. I THEN LEARN BY SEARCHING THAT 2011 VANS HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR SAME ISSUES. WITH A RETURN HOME INTERSTATE TRIP OF 600 MILES, I THANKFUL I HAD REPAIRED NOW READING WHAT HAS HAPPENED WITH THE 2011 RELATED ACCIDENTS AND PROBLEMS.

MY VAN NEEDS A NEW TIPM. THIS IS A RECALL FOR SOME CHRYSLER VEHICLES UNDER P54/NHTSA 14V-530. WHY DOES THIS NOT INCLUDE ALL CHRYSLER VEHICLES? THE VAN STARTS INTERMITTENTLY. SOMETIMES WITHOUT ISSUE OTHER TIMES TAKES MINUTES AND SEVERAL ATTEMPTS.
