2013 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY Complaints

On multiple occasions while driving, the vehicle has simply powered itself off without warning. In addition to the engine cutting off, all interior features and lights also lose power. To restart the vehicle, you must remove the key from the ignition, put the car in park, and then put the key back in with your foot on the brake. This is incredibly dangerous. Diagnostic error codes do not capture the cause of the issue.

My 18 year old son was driving my 14 year old daughter on I97 in Maryland when the passenger seat active head restraints headrest deployed startling both of my kids. No injuries or accidents but pretty scary at 65 MPH

On occasion at least four different times in the past two months, my vehicle has completely shut off while I am driving it. In an instant, a warning comes on my dash that has a lightening bolt, the engine and all electrical/power shuts off, the wheel locks, and I am only able to brake. I have taken it to the dealership where they charged me $100 to find what the issue was, even though unsuccessful. They said because the vehicle showed no codes, they didn’t know the reason for the malfunction, and sent me home. I called Chrysler Recall and they said because there are no open recalls, they are unable to help me. When searching online, I see a lot of people have had this exact same issue but no one helps them fix it. Lawsuits have emerged. Accidents have happened. I have three small children who rely on me and my vehicle. It is completely unsafe for us to drive and for others around us on the road. No one will help diagnose or fix the problem. I need help fast! Please help me.

THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT 70 MPH, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT ALL OF THE OIL HAD LEAKED OUT OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THE OIL WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH THE OIL COOLER NEEDING TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 132,157.

THE VANS POWER WOULD FLICKER ON AND OFF MULTIPLE TIMES. THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WOULD TURN ON AND OFF. THE RADIO ON AND OFF. ALL DASH LIGHTS ON AND OFF. THEN DRIVING 26MPH ONE DAY IT DID THIS AND THE WHOLE ENGINE SHUT OFF WITH THE KEYS IN THE IGNITION WHILE DRIVING. I LOST ALL POWER, POWER STEERING, AND BRAKES! BATTERY WAS REPLACED AND THE ISSUES KEPT GETTING WORSE.

PURCHASED 2013 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY IN JULY OF 2020 AND IT HAD A CLEAN RECORD, WAS A FORMER CARMAX VEHICLE AND MY INDEPENDENT MECHANIC REVIEWED THE VEHICLE AND DEEMED IT A GOOD PURCHASE. I HAVE SINCE CARED FOR THE VEHICLE AND IT HAS RUN WELL UNTIL RECENTLY SEVERAL ERROR CODES CAME UP. P0300, P0456, P0455, P0175. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC AND THEY SAID THIS COULD BE A VEHICLE MANUFACTURER ISSUE. THE CODES SAY SOMETHING ABOUT EVP LEAK, MISFIRE AND SYSTEM RUNNING TOO RICH. THIS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED TO ENSURE A RECALL ISN'T NECESSARY. REPAIRS ARE WELL OVER $1000 AND NOT DUE TO ANY PRE EXISTING ISSUES.

THE FRONT SEAT PASSENGER SIDE HEADREST SPONTANEOUSLY BUSTED OPEN ABS CANNOT BE PUT BACK BECAUSE THE RINGS THAT HOLD IT IN PLACE BROKE. WE WERE NOT IN MOTION. SOMEONE SAT IN THE SEAT SND IT HAPPENED WITHOUT CAUSE.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN I LIFTED MY FOOT OFF OF THE GAS PEDAL IT STARTED TO JERK ON ME, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON AND THE ABS LIGHT WILL STAY ON, IT ALSO STALLS AT RANDUM ANYTIME WHILE DRIVING, EVERY 2 TO 3 YEARS I HAVE TO HAVE THE BRAKES AND THE ROTORS REDONE, I HAD THE CAMSHAFT SENSOR REPLACED AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY FOUND METAL FRAGMENTS ON THE SENSOR I EVEN SAW IT AND WAS TOLD THAT THAT USUALLY TELLS THEM THAT THIS IS A TIMING PROBLEM AND COULD BE THE PROBLEM FOR STALLING AND IF THAT DOESN'T WORK THEN IT WILL BE THE ENGINE, THE TIMING PROBLEM WILL COST AROUND $2000 ALONG WITH THE COST OF THE ENGINE IF ITS NOT THE TIMING,THEN THERE IS A EVAPORATOR CORE PROBLEM THAT IS COSTLY, THERE IS A MANIFOLD GASKET LEAK ALSO ANOTHER $1000,I'VE ALWAYS DONE THE SERVICE REPAIRS BUT THIS IS ALL TO COSTLY HATE TO DUMP IT BUT NOW I'M THINKING OF A DIFFERENT VEHICLE AND NOT ANOTHER TOWN N COUNTRY, WILL NEVER BUY AGAIN

VAN PERIODICALLY STALLS WHEN DRIVING (NO WARNING LIGHTS COME ON), LUCKILY IT HAS BEEN ON LOCAL ROADS AND NOT AN INTERSTATE. IT HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 6-7 TIMES IN THE LAST SIX MONTHS. I'VE HAD IT IN TWICE TO OUR REGULAR SHOP. THEY REPLACED THE BATTERY FIRST, AND THEN SUGGESTED WE TAKE TO THE DEALER (AS THEY HAD RECENTLY SENT A DURAGO TO DEALER FOR SAME PROBLEM). DEALER REPLACED THER,OSTAT AND PROMISED THAT WAS THE PROBLEM. STILL DOING IT. I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE, IT'S NOT SAFE! SEARCHES HAVE REVEALED MANY CONSUMERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. IT LAST HAPPENED 3/22/21.

FUEL PUMP KEEPS RUNNING AFTER KEY IS REMOVED. VAN WON'T START NO FUEL. IRATIC ENGINE KEEPS TRYING TO START WITH KEY RELEASED. NOT A CONSTANT 3 OR 4 TIMES A WEEK. STATIONARY.
