2012 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY Complaints

TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 55MPH THE VAN SHUTS DOWN. NO POWER WHATSOEVER. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO US 3 TIMES WHILE TRAVELING THIS SPEED ON A BUSY ROAD. I TRAVEL WITH TWO HANDICAPPED SONS IN WHEELCHAIRS AND THIS HAS BEEN A VERY SCARY EXPERIENCE ALL 3 TIMES. NOBODY CAN TELL US WHAT IS WRONG AND THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE TO BEGIN TO LOOK. NOW MY BOYS ARE CONFINED AT HOME WITHOUT A VEHICLE FOR ME TO DRIVE THEM. *TR

I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE IN MARCH OF 2016 FOR THE PURPOSES OF TRANSPORTING 2 DISABLED FAMILY MEMBERS. FIRST, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS COMING ON AND STATED THAT THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR WE'RE NOT WORKING. WHEN I WOULD DRIVE WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE WOULD JUST SHUT OFF I FEARED GETTING HIT BY OTHER VEHICLES. THEN THE FUEL PUMP RELAY WOULD STAY ON AFTER SHUTTING VEHICLE OFF UNTIL IT WOULD DRAIN THE BATTERY. AFTER, NOW MY VEHICLE CRANKS BUT DOESN'T START AT ALL. THIS IS A HAZARD AND DANGEROUS WHAT I AM AFRAID OF IS THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THESE VEHICLES AND THE ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN LOOKED AT BY THE PROPER DEPARTMENT OR AUTHORITY. I ALSO BROUGHT THIS ISSUE TO CHRYSLER WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND THEY SAID THEY CAN NOT ASSIST WITH THE ISSUE AND NO RECALLS HAVE BEEN PUT IN PLACE MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN PARKED FOR 5 MONTHS NOW.

VEHICLE WAS IN PARK AND THE POWER LIFTGATE MALFUNCTIONED, SLAMMED SHUT AND LOCKED ON POINTER FINGER CRUSHING MY DIGITAL NERVE. THE LIFTGATE MALFUNCTIONED TWO YEARS PREVIOUS TO THIS INCIDENT AND WAS REPAIRED BY THE DEALER. WHEN I INQUIRED ABOUT IT BEING REPLACED WHEN THIS HAPPENED, I WAS TOLD THE WARRANTY RAN OUT. THERE IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE WITH THIS PART OF THE VEHICLE. IM VERY LUCKY THE ONLY THING THAT WAS INJURED WAS MY FINGER. THIS COULD EASILY KILL SOMEONE

2012 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY 3/3 VEHICLE LIFT GATE WILL NOT RESPOND TO REMOTE PRIOR TO NEW TIPM INSTALLATION AND NEW REMOTE REPROGRAMMING. THE LIFT GATE HAS ALMOST SQUEEZED AND TRAPPED AN ADULT MY SIZE IN IT. IT STILL DOES THIS. THE DOORS DO NOT LOCK DESPITE MANUAL OR REMOTE INPUT TO KEEP IT LOCK AND IT DOESN'T RESPOND OR CHANGE WITH THE NEW TIPM INSTALLED AND THE NEWLY PROGRAMMED REMOTE, DESPITE THE PROBLEM COMMENCING WHEN ALL THE ELECTRICAL ITEMS IN THE COMPUTER STARTED MALFUNCTIONING. THE DRIVER SEAT FUSE WILL CONSISTENTLY BURN OUT AND STOP WORKING THIS CAN BE CHANGED AS OFTEN AS DAILY OR EVERY TWO DAYS.

THE LIGHTS WOULD KILL THE BATTERY DESPITE BEING LEFT IN OFF POSITION. THE VEHICLE CURRENTLY WAS TAKEN TO THE STORE FOR THE CHANGE OF A TIPM DUE TO SMELLING A VERY HOT BURNING SCENT AND THEN IN STOP WHIRRING SOUND ALONG WITH DISPLAY IS HOT IN RED ON SCREEN.

THE VEHICLE TIRE SYSTEM SIGNAL WOULD OCCUR RECURRENTLY AND IT WOULD CAUSE ONE TO HAVE CONTINUOUSLY CHECK TIRES EVEN IF THEY WERE FINE AND SOMETIMES THE VEHICLE WOULD NEED AND OTHERS NOT.

THEN IT STALLED OUT WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I WAS TURNING ONTO A CITY STREET FROM MY RESIDENTIAL COMPLEX.

FUEL PUMP WON'T TURN OFF AFTER TURNING ENGINE OFF. DRAINS BATTERY COMPLETELY. TIPM IS TO BLAME. READ THE OTHER COMMENTS OR LOOK INTO THE LAWSUITS. THIS AFFECTS ALL CHRYSLER VEHICLES WITH THE PENTASTAR ENIGNE.
