2012 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY Complaints

I HAVE BEEN HAVING YEARS OF PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE. SHORTLY AFTER PURCHING IT IN 2015, THE CLIMATE CONTROL UNIT STARTED (AND CONTINUES) TO TURN ON RANDOMLY WHENEVER IT WANTS TO, THE A/C STOPPED WORKING COMPLETELY, AND THE BLIND SPOT SENSORS ARE ON 100% OF THE TIME. MORE RECENTLY, THE VEHICLE KEPT HAVING TO GET JUMP STARTED EVERY MORNING FOR ABOUT 2 WEEKS UNTIL FINALLY IT WOULDN'T TURN OVER AT ALL. I HAVE REPLACED THE BATTERY 3 TIMES, THE ALTERNATOR TWICE (THE FIRST TIME AFTER THE VEHICLE STALLING OUT ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY A LONG WAY FROM HOME), THE FUEL PUMP WAS JUST REPLACED, AND THEN I FIND OUT FROM THE GARAGE THAT CHANGED THE FUEL PUMP THAT THE TIPM NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I AM NOW CURRENTLY WAITING FOR A NEW TIPM FROM THE DEALERSHIP. I HAVE BEEN WITHOUT A VEHICLE FOR 3 WEEKS NOW AS THIS PART IS ON BACK ORDER. THIS VEHICLE HAS COST ME THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN THE SHORT TIME I HAVE OWNED IT AND HAS BEEN VERY UNRELIABLE FOR ME AND MY FAMILY, INCLUDING 3 CHILDREN.

1) -STEREO AND NAVIGATION SYSTEM ON END OFF 2) - WARNING LIGHT'S TURN ON ON THE BOARD AND RUN OUT OF POWER 0 POWER 3) - INJECCION PROBLEM

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WITH 2 SMALL KIDS IN THE CAR AND A SEMI RIGHT BEHIND ME WHEN MY VAN COMPLETELY SHUT OFF NOTHING WAS WORKING. AFTER WHAT SEEMED LIKE AN ETERNITY ALL THE POWER WAS RESTORED AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE TO OFF RAMP AND STOP. THERE WAS NO WARNING AND NO LIGHTS SHOWING A PROBLEM. VAN IS CURRENTLY INTHE SHOP DIAGNOSTIC TEST SHOWED NO ERROR CODE. ME AND MY KIDS COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED ALONG WITH OTHERS AS I HAD NO CONTROL. CURRENTLY AWAITING REPORTS FROM MECHANICS.

THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE ENGINE. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE ENGINE COMPUTER FAILED, WHICH CAUSED THE TRANSMISSION TO DOWNSHIFT. THE ENGINE COMPUTER FAILURE WAS EXPERIENCED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE ALTERNATOR, BATTERY, AND PSC AND ASD RELAYS WERE REPLACED BY THE CONTACT AND AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. WHILE DRIVING 50-70 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AFTER 20 MINUTES AND WAS ABLE TO FUNCTION NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AUTOWORLD DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM (1370 AUTO CENTER DR, PETALUMA, CA 94952, (707) 762-2712) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 109,000.

ALL SORTS OF ELECTRICAL ISSUES. PASSENGER SIDE REAR DOOR SLIDES OPEN RANDOMLY WHEN STARTING CAR OR UNLOCKING DOORS. TAILGATE OPENS RANDOMLY THE SAME WAY. TAILGATE HAS OPENED WHEN CAR WAS PUT IN REVERSE TO BACK UP. PASSENGER REAR DOOR NO LONGER LOCKS. IF CAR IS LOCKED AND ALARM ENABLED, THAT DOOR WILL STILL OPEN AND ALARM GOES OFF. FUEL PUMP COMES ON WHEN CAR IS TURNED OFF, DRAINING BATTERY AND DAMAGING FUEL PUMP. FUEL PUMP SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING DOWN ROAD, AND ALSO WHILE SITTING AT RED LIGHT, CAUSING CAR TO TURN OFF. REPLACED OIL SENSORS, FUEL PUMP, CRANKSHAFT SENSOR; HAD HOUSE OF VOLTAGE AND CIRCUIT TESTS DONE ON VEHICLE TRYING TO DETERMINE ROOT OF ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. AFTER 9 MONTHS OF TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH VEHICLE AND POURING MONEY INTO IT, FINALLY DISCOVERED THAT FAULTY FUEL RELAYS IN TIPM WERE COMMON IN DODGE FROM 2011-2013. SOME MODELS WERE ISSUED A RECALL, BUT NOT THE CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. REPAIRING TIPMS IS PRICEY. FUEL PUMP ISSUE IS NOW SOLVED BUT ALL OTHER ELECTRICAL ISSUES REMAIN WITH DOORS AND TAILGATE. HEATER HAS ALSO RANDOMLY TURNED ON. REAR AC/HEAT HAS COME ON WHILE DRIVING DOWN ROAD EVEN THOUGH REAR SYSTEM WAS TURNED OFF.

ELECTRICAL HAS BEEN MALFUNCTIONING FROM REAR VIEW WINDOW DETECTORS, RESET CAMERA, DOOR LOCKS, AUTO START, AND NOW DOOR LATCHES. I HAVE TO MANUALLY PLACE KEY TO START VAN, AND NOW THE HEATER TURNS ON RANDOMLY, AND THE DOOR OPENS WITHOUT BEING ANYWHERE AROUND THE VAN, AND IT LOCKS AND UNLOCKS RANDOMLY, SOMETIMES WITH KIDS IN IT WITH THE KEYS TOO. I CAN'T GO ANYWHERE WITHOUT COMING OUT TO PARKING LOT AND DOORS ARE OPEN. IT WILL SIT IN OUR GARAGE, HONKING, LOCKING AND UNLOCKING, DOORS OPENING AND CLOSING, WITH NO ONE TOUCHING THE KEY OR NEAR IT. I HAD REPAIR TWICE AT A DEALERSHIP, BOB THOMAS DIMENSION FORD, WHO CHARGED $1200.00 WITH NO FIX, AND COULD NOT KEEP GOING WITHOUT A VEHICLE. NOW IT FEELS UNSAFE TO EVEN DRIVE. *DT *AS *DT THE CONSUMER STATED CHRYSLER DECLINED TO FIX THE RECALL. *TR

CAR WILL BE MOVING AND AUTOMATICALLY SHIFT TO A DIFFERENT GEAR AND SOMETHING GOING ON ELECTRICALLY WITH CAR. AS WELL IT SHAKES A GREAT DEAL

CAR WOULD NOT START FROM PARK. TOWED TO DEALER. DIAGNOSIS , WIN MODULE BAD. WHY IS THERE NO RECALL ON THE 2012? IT WILL COST ABOUT $1500.00 TO FIX. IN ADDITION, THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THE RIGHT REAR SLIDING DOOR WILL NOT LOCK. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE WHEN I LOOKED ONLINE. THE DOORS EITHER DO NOT LOCK OR LOCK AND ARE UNABLE TO OPEN. AGAIN A PROBLEM WITH THE COMPUTERS.

THE VAN HAS TURNED OFF COMPLETELY ON THE ROAD AND IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY SEVERAL TIMES. THE VAN WILL TURN ON, BUT AS SOON AS YOU LET THE KEY GO, IT WILL TURN OFF.
