2011 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY Complaints

TOTAL INTEGRATED POWER MODUAL REPLACED MULTIPLE TIMES AND STILL DEFECTIVE. COSTING ME THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS! VAN WILL SUDDENLY STALL AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. PLEASE MAKE CHRYSLER FIX THIS. IT COULD EASILY LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT.

TAKATA RECALL- HAD TO REPLACE THE BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR TWICE IN LESS THAN TWO YEARS BECAUSE OF BEING STRANDED OR JUST NOT STARTING MULTIPLE TIMES. THE TORK CLUTCH HAD TO BE REPLACED AND STILL RUNS ROUGH

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE WIRELESS WIN MODULE FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ST. CHARLES NISSAN (5625 VETERANS MEMORIAL PKWY, ST PETERS, MO 63376, (636) 441-4481) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE WIRE HARNESS MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND ADVISED THE CONTACT TO FILE A COMPLAINT WITH NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 57,711. THE VIN WAS INVALID.

RECENTLY I HAVE NOTICED THAT THE WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID HAS BEEN LEAKING INTO THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG COMPARTMENT. WHEN I TRY TO WASH THE BACK WINDOW IT JUST POURS OUT OF THE AIR BAG COMPARTMENT.

THE POWER SHUTS OFF OR THE CAR WON'T START AFTER THE KEY IS TAKEN OUT. I WAS TOLD BY THE MECHANIC I WENT TO THAT SOMETHING WITH THE SPARK PLUGS WAS FIRING INCORRECTLY SO I HAD THAT REPLACED. I ALSO HAD MY AUTO START REMOVED BECAUSE I WAS TOLD THAT WAS AFFECTING THE BATTERY AND FINALLY I WAS TOLD THE FUEL PUMP WAS CONSTANTLY RUNNING WHICH WAS DRAINING MY BATTERY. I WAS TOLD TO PULL THE FUSE FOR THE FUEL PUMP UNTIL I CAN HAVE THE PART REPLACED, WHICH IS TEDIOUS AND THAT STILL DON'T WORK ALL THE TIME. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE PART HAS BEEN ON BACK ORDER SINCE DECEMBER. AT THIS POINT I AM VERY FRUSTRATED AND I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR UNTIL THE ISSUE IS RESOLVED. THE BLIND SPOT LIGHTS ALSO REMAIN ON.

VEHICLE WOULD COMPLETELY LOSE POWER, SHUTTING OFF ENGINE. THIS COULD HAPPEN WHILE STOPPED OR MOVING AT ANY SPEED, EVEN HIGHWAYS. TOOK TO MECHANIC WHERE HE FOUND A FAULTY WIN MODULE. DIAGNOSTIC FOUND DTC FOR LOW VOLTAGE TO TCM. MOVING KEY FOB WOULD CAUSE VEHICLE TO LOSE POWER AND SHUT DOWN, BUT SO COULD NORMAL ROAD VIBRATION.

I DROVE TO THE GROCERY STOREAND PLACED THE VEHICLE IN PARK, TURNED OFF THE IGNITION, LOCKED THE DOORS AND SHUT THEM. I WENT SHOPPING AND CAME BACK OUT. THE KEY FOB WOULD NO LONGER UNLOCK THE DOORS. I USED THE MANUAL KEY TO GAIN ACCESS TO THE VEHICLE. I LOADED MY GROCERIES. ENTER THE VEHICLE AND INSERTED THE KEY FIVE INTO THE IGNITION. THE KEY FOB WAS DIFFICULT TO GET INTO THE IGNITION. ONCE THE KEY FOB WAS INSERTED INTO THE IGNITION SUCCESSFULLY, IT WOULD NOT TURN. I AM ENSURED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS STILL IN PARK. AFTER NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS TO TURN THE KEY FOB, I ACCESSED THE GEAR OVERRIDE PANEL AND INSERTED A SCREWDRIVER, I MOVE THE GEARSHIFT INTO NEUTRAL, AND THEN BACK INTO PARK. THEN ATTEMPTED TO TURN THE IGNITION AGAIN. STILL NO POWER, AND THE KEY FOB STILL WILL NOT COME OUT OF THE IGNITION. ATTEMPTED TO JUMPSTART A VEHICLE ASSUMING THAT MAYBE THE BATTERY WAS DEAD. STILL NO CHANGE. NOW I STILL CANNOT REMOVE THE KEY FOB FROM THE IGNITION NOR IS THERE ANY ENGAGEMENT FROM THE IGNITION. SEVERAL VEHICLES OF THIS MAKE AND MODEL OF PREVIOUS YEARS HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE.
