2011 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY ACCELERATED FROM 30 MPH TO APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH WITHOUT WARNING. ADDITIONALLY, WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE RPMS REVVED INDEPENDENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TUBBS BROTHERS FORD CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (LOCATED AT 959 SANILAC RD, SANDUSKY, MI 48471, (810) 648-0000) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO RETRIEVE A FAULT CODE OR DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 136,000.

VAN HAS HAD A FEW TIMES WHERE IT WILL NOT START, YOU CAN TURN THE KEY ALL THE WAY TO THE ON POSITION, ALL THE LIGHTS/RADIO AND AIR WILL COME ON BUT THE ENGINE FAILS TO START, DOES NOT MAKE A NOISE. AFTER A FEW TRIES IT WILL START. RECENTLY THE KEY GOT STUCK IN THE ON POSITION TO START AND THE ENGINE TRIED STARTING 4 TIMES WHILE STUCK IN THAT POSITION BEFORE IT FINALLY STARTED AND ALMOST QUIT. DID NOT DARE TO TURN VEHICLE OFF DUE TO THE POSSIBILITY IT WOULD NOT START. RESEARCH STATES THE TIPM IS THE CAUSE OF THIS ALONG WITH MULTIPLE ELECTRICAL ISSUES. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED.

IN MOTION AT 70 MPH ON I75 MY TIRE PRESSURE SYSTEM INDICATED A FLAT TIRE. BECOMING DISTRACTED AND TRYING TO QUICKLY GET TO THE SHOULDER ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. ONCE ON THE SHOULDER THE TIRE PRESSURE WENT BACK TO 39 PSI. WHILE KEEPING AN EYE ON IT ALL 4 TIRES WOULD FLUCTUATE FROM 295 PSI TO 0 PSI SETTING OFF A AUDIBLE WARNING EVERY TIME IT DROPPED BELOW 30PSI. SINCE THIS ELECTRICAL PROBLEM BEGAN TWO WEEKS AGO I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE STARTING, ONCE TO THE POINT WHERE I WAS STRANDED AND HAVE TO HAVE IT TOWED. THE MECHANICS COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG BECAUSE IT STARTED FOR THEM. THEY DID LET ME KNOW THAT THE TIPM HAS BEEN KNOWN TO CAUSE ALL THESE ISSUES AND THAT CHRYSLER WAS AWARE OF IT BUT NOT DOING ANYTHING. IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN WHEN RANDOM COMPONENTS AND DIAGNOSTIC SENSOR START GOING OFF AT RANDOM WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE. BEING POTENTIALLY STRANDED WITH MULTIPLE SMALL CHILDREN CAN ALSO BE A SAFETY CONCERN IN MY HONEST OPINION.

MY VAN HAS AN ELECTRICAL GLITCH WHERE ALL THE DADH COMPONENTS WILL FLICKER AND THE GAUGES WILL GO UP AND DOWN REPEATEDLY AND EVERY COUPLE DAYS THE CAR WILL COMPLETELY SHUT OFF (NO POWER STEERING, NO GAS) WE HAVE PUT IT IN THE SHOP AT LEAST 5 TIMES AND THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP SAID THEY CANT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND THERE FOR THEY CANT DO ANYTHING. THE DEALERSHIP ALSO SAID THEY DONT HAVE ENOUGH COMPLAINTS TO LOOK INTO WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. I AM HOPING THAT CHRYSLER WILL FIX THEIR MISTAKES

I WAS IN TWO ACCIDENTS AND THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. THE ELECTRICAL FOR THE TRUNK AND WINDOWS DO NOT WORK, AND THE DOOR ELECTRICAL IS A FIRE HAZARD.

VAN WILL BE DRIVING WHEN IT STALLS UP, INSTRUMENT CLUSTER GOES CRAZY LIGHTING UP AND NEEDLES BOUNCE BACK AND FORTH. TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC THEY COULDNT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. I HAVE SEEN A LOT OF OTHER OWNERS HAVING THESE SAME ISSUES.

CAR WOULDN'T START, THEN WOULD START, THEN WOULDN'T START AND NOW REPEATEDLY WILL NOT START. TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL SHOP WHO CHARGED ME FOR A REPAIR BUT THAT DIDN'T RESOLVE THIS. TOOK IT TO A CHRYSLER DEALER SHOP AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO INITIALLY DIAGNOSE WHAT WAS GOING ON. I'VE ASKED THEM TO DO NO WORK PENDING CONVERSATIONS WITH THE ORIGINAL SHOP. ALL THE DOCUMENTATION THAT I HAVE READ POINTS TO THE TIPM SO I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS THE CAUSE.

WHEN STARTING WITH PUSH BUTTON SOMETIMES WILL NOT START . OTHER TIMES STAYS ENGAGED. BRAKE PEDAL GETS HARD WITH PUSH BUTTON THAT'S HOW I KNOW IT WILL NOT START WITH BUTTON. HEATER WILL TURN ON ON ITS OWN EVEN AFTER BEING SHUT OFF. CRUISE CONTROL DOES NOT ALWAYS LIGHT UP AND WORK. BACK HATCH WILL NOT OPEN OR CLOSE WITH BUTTON NO CODES PULL UP ON ANY OF THESE ISSUES. I HAVE HAD IT AT 3 OR 4 DIFFERENT MECHANICS AND NOBODY SEEMS TO KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. HAVE PULLED UP THINGS ON THE INTERNET THAT SHOWS TEMP BOARD. I HAVE TAKEN THIS VEHICLE IN MANY TIMES UNDER WARRANTY AND NOBODY COULD FIND OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. NOW WARRANTY IS OUT AND STILL HAVE NO ANSWERS. WE DID REPLACE STARTER AND IT DID NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE. HUSBAND IS ON DISABILITY FOR BRAIN TUMOR SO WE DO NOT HAVE A LOT OF RESOURCES TO TRY ELIMINATE.WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT YOU HAVE SUGGESTED TO OTHERS THAT HAVE PUT COMPLAINTS IN FOR THE SAME ISSUES

TRAVELING ON 2 LANE ROAD ACROSS A BRIDGE AT 35 MPH WHEN ALL DASH LIGHTS CAME ON THEN ALL OFF AND ENGINE DIED WHICH CAUSED POWER STEERING LOSS AND POWER BRAKE LOSS, NO POWER AT ALL IN VEHICLE STRANDED ON SIDE OF ROAD. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A BAD ACCIDENT HAD THERE BEEN MORE TRAFFIC. THIS WAS CAUSED BY THE PCM (ENGINE COMPUTER) FAILING. I SEE THAT THIS IS A FREQUENT OCCURENCE WITH THIS VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO RUN AFTER THE KEY WAS REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND WAS ASSIGNED A CASE NUMBER. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THEY WOULD ESCALATE THE CASE AND CALL BACK. THE CONTACT DID NOT RECEIVE A CALL BACK. THE CONTACT CALLED BACK AND WAS INFORMED THAT THEY COULD NOT HELP WITH THE REPAIR EXPENSES SINCE THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SPORT DURST CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP (4513 DURHAM-CHAPEL HILL BLVD, DURHAM, NC 27707, (919) 724-4677) WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING HELD UNTIL AUTHORIZATION WAS RECEIVED TO REPAIR THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 101,000.
