2011 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY Complaints

MY WIFE AND I HAVE BEEN HAVING THE SAME ISSUE FOR MONTHS. WE WOULD GO TO START THE VEHICLE, SOME DAYS IT WOULD START SOME DAYS IT WOULD JUST CRANK BUT WOULDN'T TURN OVER. EVENTUALLY MY BATTERY DIED. REPLACED THE BATTERY, AND NOTICED THAT AFTER THE CAR WAS SHUT OFF AND THE KEY WAS OUT OF THE IGNITION, THE FUEL PUMP WOULD CONTINUE TO RUN. AS A MECHANIC THIS HAD ME INTRIGUED. PULLED THE FUEL PUMP FUSE AND THE PUMP SHUT OFF, WHEN I PUT THE FUSE BACK IN THE PUMP DID NOT RE ENGAGE. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE FUEL PUMP RUNNING. WE CONTINUE STILL TO HAVE THE ISSUE WITH THE CAR NOT STARTING OR THE FUEL PUMP DRAINING THE BATTERY. AFTER FURTHER INVESTIGATION AND RESEARCH. I AM NOW SEEING THAT IT IS A TIPM ISSUE. THIS SAME MODULE HAS BEEN RECALLED FROM DODGE AND JEEP, I REALLY DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY IT HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED FOR THE CHRYSLER. I DO KNOW THAT I HAVE TWO SMALL CHILDREN AND A TINY WIFE, SO IF IT FAILS DURING OPERATION, IT COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY TO MY FAMILY. I WILL BE PAYING THE $1,000 TO GET IT FIXED, BUT WILL BE EXPECTING A REFUND CHECK FROM CHRYSLER WHEN THIS THING KILLS SOMEONE.

FAULTY FUEL PUMP RELAY THE VEHICLE WILL SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING AND IT WILL STAY ON WHILE KEY IS OFF AND KILL BATTERY

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF, THE FUEL PUMP MOTOR CONTINUED TO RUN UNTIL THE BATTERY WAS DRAINED. THE CONTACT HAD TO CONSTANTLY DISCONNECT THE FUSE TO THE PUMP TO KEEP FROM PURCHASING A NEW BATTERY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED EVERY DAY FOR THE PAST TWENTY DAYS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DETERMINED THAT THE TOTAL POWER CONTROL MODULE FAILED AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 82,299.

BOTH DRIVER SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE BLIND SPOT WARNING LIGHTS STAY ON WHEN TURNED ON. THEY WILL NOT WORK NO MATTER IF I'M PARKED OR DRIVING. THE DEALERSHIP WANTS TO CHARGE ME $3,156.00 PLUS TAX FOR TWO BAD SENSORS AND CORRODED HARNESS. I'M SEEING THIS COMPLAINT ON THE INTERNET AND WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A RECALL. MY VAN IS JUST ABOUT TO TURN 70,000 MILES SO I DO NOT SEE HOW THE PROBLEM COULD COME FROM ME.

THE VAN STARTED HAVING ISSUES WITH SENSORS. LAST WEEK THE VAN DID NOT START. I HAD TO GET A JUMP AND IT RAN FINE FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS. YESTERDAY I HAD A NEW BATTERY INSTALLED AS I THOUGHT THIS WAS THE PROBLEM AND THE BATTERY IN THE VAN WAS OVER THREE YEARS OLD. THE VAN REFUSED TO START AFTER INSTALLING THE NEW BATTERY, WE TESTED THE BATTERY AND IT WAS GOOD. HAD TO GET A JUMP AND BRING IT TO MY MECHANIC. I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE AN ALTERNATOR PROBLEM. AFTER VARIOUS TESTS HE FOUND IT WAS THE TIMP AND NEEDS A FUEL RELAY BYPASS INSTALLED BECAUSE CHRYSLER HAS KNOWN ISSUES WITH THE TIMP IN THEIR MINI VANS. $159 FOR THE NEW BATTERY AND IT WILL BE $675 FOR THE BYPASS. I DID RESEARCH ONLINE AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE, IT FAILED TO START. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED TO BE CRANKED MULTIPLES TIMES IN ORDER TO OPERATE. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. IN ADDITION, WHILE ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE, THE DEFROSTER FAILED TO OPERATE AND NUMEROUS WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE GROUND WIRE DEFROST CIRCUIT NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE ELECTRICAL INJECTOR NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 98,900. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED. *TT*JB

AS WE DRIVE THE VAN WILL SHUT OFF. WE EXPERIENCE LOSS OF POWER STEERING, BRAKES, AND ALL OTHER FUNCTIONS. IT WILL HAPPEN ON THE HIGHWAY AND CITY STREETS. BOTH LOW AND HIGH SPEEDS. IT HAS PUT ME AND MY FAMILY AT GREAT DANGER! IT HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. REGARDLESS OF FUEL LEVELS, OR OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE. WE HAVE HAD IT IN OUR LOCAL DEALERSHIP MANY TIMES, WITH NO RESOLUTION.

FUEL PUMP RELAY GAVE OUT AND UNLIKE THE DURANGO AND GRAND CHEROKEE IT'S NOT ON RECALL IT'S ALSO 1000 DOLLAR PART THAT THEY KNOW IS BAD, IT STOPPED WORKING FOR ME ON THE HIGHWAY HAD TO COAST TO THE ICY SHOULDER AND SLIPPED INTO THE DITCH ALMOST FLIPPED BECAUSE SINCE THE ENGINE WASN'T ON NEITHER WAS THE POWER STEERING

BLIND SPOT DETECTION FAILURE-BLIND SPOT LIGHTS ON SIDE MIRRORS WILL NOT TURN OFF. BEEPING INSIDE THE CAR WILL NOT STOP. FAILURE ENGAGES REGARDLESS IF THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED OR MOVING AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER OR NOT ANYTHING IS IN THE BLINDSPOT. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL BECAUSE IT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN AND THERE ARE SEVERAL REPORTS OF FAILURES LISTED ONLINE. THERE IS NO WAY TO DISENGAGE THE SYSTEM EITHER.

VEHICLE DISPLAYS CODE FOR TIPM PROBLEM AT THE MECHANICS SHOP. I'VE PUT OVER $5,000 OF REPAIRS TO FINALLY GET THIS CODE FOR THE TIPM. AFTER EXTENSIVE RESEARCH I'VE FOUND THRE ARE MANY PEOPLE WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM AND SIMILAR VEHICLES WITH THE SAME PART HAVE BEEN RECALLED. TO PUT A NEW TIPM IS GOING TO COST ANOTHER $1,300. PLEASE A'S A REPUTABLE COMPANY, I HOPE YOU WILL DO THE RIGHT THING AND RECALL THIS ISSUE ON THE VEHICLE. I HAVE LOVED MY VAN AND WAS PLANNING TO UPGRADE TO THE PACIFICA. IF THIS PROBLEM IS NOT CORRECTED I WILL NO LONGER BUY CHRYSLER'S PRODUCTS. WITH TODAY'S AGE OF INFORMATION IM SIE YOU ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM OTHERS ARE HAVING, PLEASE URSE THIS TO YOUR ADVANTAGE AND FIX THIS DIFFICULT TO DIAGNOSE AND EXPENSIVE PROBLEM. VEHICLE STARTS AFTER 7-10 ATTEMPTS, HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY. WILL SOMETIMES CRANK, SOMETIMES NOTHING HAPPENS WHEN YOU TURN THE KEY. I HAVE TO SLAM THE GAS TO EVENTUALLY GET IT TO START, IF IT CRANKS. I'VE REPLACED THE BATTERY, STARTER, FUEL PUMP, FUEL INJECTORS, DONE A FULL TUNE-UP, REMOVED THE REMOTE START AND MORE WITHOUT SUCCESS.
