2013 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY Complaints

WE WERE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY DIDN'T HIT ANYTHING AND THE HEADREST AIRBAG DEPLOYED. WE WERE STARTING TO SLOW DOWN TO TURN AND THE HEADREST AIRBAG DEPLOYED

BOTH HEADRESTS DEPLOYED INVOLUNTARILY AND UNEXPECTEDLY WHEN THE IGNITION WAS BEING BEEN TURNED OFF AFTER I PULLED IN THE MY DRIVEWAY. THE VAN WAS STATIONARY AND THERE WAS NO IMPACT OR CAUSE FOR THE DEPLOYMENT/. I WAS IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT THE HEADREST HIT THE BACK OF MY HEAD WITH FORCE. WE WERE UNABLE TO RESET THE HEADRESTS AS THE PLASTIC CLIP HOLDING THE METAL ROD HAD BROKEN ON BOTH HEADRESTS.

I HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE AC NOT WORKING, AS I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER FOR THE LIFETIME WARRANTY FOR A POOR DESIGN. IT SITS OVER THE REAR WHEEL WHICH LETS ROAD DEBREE. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE HAS BEEN FOR OVER 20 YEARS AND HAS NEVER BEEN CORRECTED.

INTERMITTENTLY, WHILE I'M DRIVING OR EVEN IN PARK SOMETIMES, MY VAN WILL SHUT OFF. SOMETIMES IT WILL TURN BACK ON (ON ITS OWN) OR I HAVE TO CRANK THE ENGINE BACK ON, EITHER BY PUTTING IT IN PARK AND TURNING KEY OVER OR PUTTING MY VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL AND TURNING IT BACK ON THAT WAY. IT'S HAPPENED IN MULTIPLE PLACES, MULTIPLE TIMES - WHILE STATIONARY, DRIVING ON CITY STREET OR DRIVING 70 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE. IT IS VERY UNSAFE!

VAN HAS SHUT OFF RANDOMLY 4 TIMES NOW. THE FIRST THREE TIMES WAS WHILE SITTING STILL. IT STARTED RIGHT BACK UP THE FIRST TIME BUT TOOK AWHILE TO START UP THE SECOND TIME. THE THIRD TIME IT ALSO STARTED RIGHT BACK UP. THE LAST TIME IT SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING THROUGH TOWN AT ABOUT 35 MPH. LOST ALL BRAKING AND STEERING. VAN WILL NOT START BACK UP.

WHILE DRIVING, WE HEARD A LOUD NOISE LIKE RATTLING COMING FROM THE ENGINE AREA. I THOUGHT IT WAS A BAD A/C CLUTCH SO I TURNED OFF THE A/C BUT THE SOUND CONTINUED ONLY NOT AS LOUD. WHEN I TURNED THE A/C UNIT ON...THE SOUND BECAME LOUDER SO I TURNED OFF THE A/C TO ARRIVE AT DESTINATION. I LATER TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO SAID THE FLEXPLATE HAD TO BE REPLACED. A WEEK LATER I RECEIVED A SECOND CALL THAT THE TIPM HAD TO BE REPLACED AS WELL. UPON RESEARCH, I HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ONLINE FROM OTHER OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE TYPE SPANNING THE YEARS 2012-2014 WITH A HIGH NUMBER OF PROBLEMS WITH THE SAME TWO PARTS. I DO BELIEVE THESE PARTS ARE DANGEROUS AND FAULTY OR AN INVESTIGATION LEADING TO THE CAUSE SHOULD BE DONE. I CONSIDER MYSELF LUCKY THAT MY VEHICLE DID NOT SHUT OFF ON A HIGHWAY OR DANGEROUS CONDITION AS I HAVE HEARD THESE TYPE VEHICLES DOING THAT TO OTHERS IN THEIR TESTIMONIALS. I WILL RECEIVE THE REPAIR RECEIPT DOCUMENTATION FROM THE DEALERSHIP TO PROVE THE PARTS REPLACEMENT TO VERIFY MY TESTIMONIAL. *TR

MY 2013 TOWN N COUNTRY VAN IS HAVING AN OVERHEATING PROBLEM AND NOW I HAVE BEEN TOLD IT HAS BLOWN HEAD GASKETS AND NEEDS A POSSIBLE NEW MOTOR. IT IS ONLY 7 YEARS OLD HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE. IT HAS NOT BEEN MISUSED. *TR

HEAD REST ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE POPPED OPEN FOR NO REASON. I HAD JUST ENTERED THE CAR, CLOSED THE DOOR, AND THE HEAD REST POPPED OPEN AGAINST MY HEAD. I SEE THAT THIS DEVISE IS PART OF THE ANTI WHIP LASH SYSTEM IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. BUT THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT AND THE CAR WAS STATIONARY IN A PARKING LOT OF A STORE. *TR

HEADREST SAFETY FEATURE OF DEPLOYING FORWARD ACTIVATED WITHOUT CAUSE WHILE DRIVING AND NO OUTSIDE CONTACT WAS MADE. *TR

TOTAL INTEGRATED POWER MODULE MY VAN WAS HAVING PROBLEMS STARTING THEY LACKED INTELLIGENCE BY TELLING ME IT WAS BECAUSE I NEEDED A TUNE UP AND SOME OTHER MINOR FIXES 2 DAYS LATER IT WON'T START AGAIN. *TR
