2016 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY Complaints

The driver side rear sliding door started making a loud buzzing noise when the doors lock. Then the door stopped locking at all. This is a safety hazard because my kids could open the door while the vehicle was moving. I read about this happening with other 2016 T&C vans also. There were no warning lights or anything to indicate what was happening. Just the loud noise.

I have had this vehicle for 2 years. I have replaced the fly wheel 3 time. It has caused many issues under he hood.

The contact owns a 2016 Chrysler Town and Country. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle made an abnormal sound. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 21,000.

Engine completely shut off while in drive on the road, lost all power, brakes everything. managed to coast into to a parking lot, where the vehicle kept turning on and off. The key didn't seem to connect to the van. the van died as soon as i coasted it off the road. everything is electronic in the van. even taking inserting the key fob into the van did not work. Van has around 93000 miles on it. Had problems where the van would not start at all before then got it to start eventually. It was like the ignition was not reading the key. First time it happened driving on the road. newer vehicle battery and batteries in the key fob. Help. is there a recall on this van?

The driver side sliding door stopped unlocking, manually or automatically, it also stopped opening manually or automatically by button. I contacted my dealer who referred me to TSB 23-036-21 REV. A. They said the repair would be 100% covered by the manufacturer, however, after repair, they tell me that certain parts required for repair we not covered by the extended warranty. They replaced the actuator as the repair required, as well as the latch. The actuators are specified in the TSB, the latches are not. But the dealer insisted that to repair this they followed manufacturer instructions and the latch was necessary to fix the door. They gave me the FCA Chrysler hotline, which I called and they tell me that the latches ARE required to be replaced for repair, but that the customer is required to pay for this part which is nearly $800. If latch repair is necessary to make the van doors operate safely, it should be included in the TSB. I need help with getting resolution here.

The sliding doors, both driver and passenger side, locks broke. They make a loud honking noise when unlocking vehicle. After doing some research, it looks like this is a very common problem in the 2016 minivan.

The contact owns a 2016 Chrysler Town and Country. The contact stated while driving 40 MPH and accelerating, the transmission experienced hard shifting. The vehicle started jerking and made abnormally loud sounds. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The contact continued driving at 40 MPH on the highway to prevent the failure from reoccurring. The vehicle was taken to a local Pep Boys and to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the failure was associated with the power train and the transmission needed to be replaced. The dealer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the NHTSA hotline. The failure mileage was approximately 160,000.

Safety component issue. Sliding doors have actuator locking mechanism failure. May cause the door to not lock or unexpectedly lock shut with adults or children are in rear vehicle seats. Loud buzzing noise is one symptom to identify a faulty sliding door actuator.

The vehicle was listed on the Facebook marketplace for 96,000 miles, while near purchasing for $8,900, cash asked the seller to run a carfax and he took very long, and never gave it to us. I took it upon myself to contact someone to run the VIN number on the vehicle ... the carfax shows the vehicle has 450,487 miles registered in Maryland at 450,487 miles on 11-16-2022. Said vehicle with the same vin was registered in New York State on 12-12-2022 and listed with an odometer reading of 99,451 miles. The receipt was given with the wrong price than originally charged (included in uploads). Odometer was turned back from this dealership registered in New York State I believe it's very unfair for law-abiding citizens like myself to go through such a disastrous experience as well as almost losing $8,900, I'm kindly asking you to please investigate this matter because I believe most of the vehicles sold by this seller has fake odometer reading (mileage). Please run the VIN for this vehicle registered to different states with different odometer reading upon reaching New York State to scam law-abiding citizens. I want this to be investigated ASAP. I enclosed for your convenience my messenger chats with the seller.

On 1/02/2023, I was getting in the van and the driver side active headrest popped open. The vehicle was parked and was turned off when this happened. I searched online to see how to fix it and many customers have the same complaint and forums recommended that I report this to NHTSA. Please let me know if you need pictures or any other information.
