2014 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY Complaints

WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE TEMPERATURE JUMPED INTO THE RED. WE PULLED OVER IMMEDIATELY AND FOUND OIL AND COOLANT SPRAYED ON THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. FURTHER INSPECTION SHOWED OIL IN THE RADIATOR MIXED WITH THE COOLANT. THE OIL COOLER FAILED AND OIL WAS BEING PUSHED INTO THE COOLANT SYSTEM, WHICH CAUSED THE OVERHEATING. WE WERE JUST GETTING UP TO SPEED WHEN THE INCIDENT OCCURRED. WE HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP TO BE REPAIRED. THE OIL COOLER PART INQUIRY SHOWED 40,000 ON BACK ORDER BECAUSE THE FAILURE OCCURRENCE IS SO HIGH.

VAN SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING AT DIFFERENT TIMES WITH NO PATTERN. NO INSTRUMENT PANEL WARNINGS SHOWN. ALSO WILL STALL AT TIMES WHILE IDLING.

I AM HAVING A CYLINDER 2 MISFIRE WITH 90K MILES ON VEHICLE. VEHICLE IS CLEARLY MISSING AT IDLE WITH HEAVY SHAKING AND STRONG ODOR OF EXHAUST FUMES.

THE ENGINE IN MY CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY MINIVAN, 3,6L ENGINE, DEVELOPED A SERIOUS "MISS" CAUSING POWER LOSS AND VIOLENT VIBRATION WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE. IT HAS BEEN DETERMINED TO BE A MISSFIRE IN CYLINDER #2. BY TESTING, IT IS DETERMINED TO BE A FAULTY DESIGNED LEFT CYLINDER HEAD.

OIL FILTER HOUSING LEAKING. PART ON BACK ORDER BECAUSE THIS IS SO COMMON. COULD LEAD TO POTENTIAL FIRE AS TO WHY THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD.
