2010 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY Complaints

VAN WILL SWITCH OFF WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD CAUSING POWER STEERING, POWER BRAKES, AND AIRBAGS TO SHUT OFF. THIS HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY. MY VAN IS A 2010 BUT FOR SOME REASON NOT COVERED UNDER A CHRYSLER RECALL TO REPLACE THE WIN MODULE. I CURRENTLY HAVE VAN AT CHRYSLER DEALER AND HAVING REPAIR COMPLETED ON MY OWN DIME. THIS RECALL SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO COVER ALL CHRYSLER VANS MANUFACTURED IN THE 2010 MODEL YEAR. THE KEY FOB WILL BE IN THE IGNITION BUT THE IGNITION SWITCH IS FAULTY AND SWITCHES THE MOTOR OFF. VAN WILL RESTART IF YOU PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND TURN THE SWITCH BACK ON. VERY UNSAFE.*DT CONSUMER STATED AT THIS POINT THIS REPAIR SEEMS TO HAVE FIXED THE PROBLEM.*JB

I EXPERIENCED THE FOLLOWING ISSUE WHICH IS ADDRESSED IN A RECALL HOWEVER, MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. I REPLACED THE PART, OUT OF POCKET, AND AM ATTEMPTING TO RECOUP THE COST. I TOOK THE VAN TO A DODGE/CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND THE VAN SHOWED NO CODES, ETC TO INDICATE THE ISSUE. I SIMPLY WENT OUT ON A LIMB TO GUESS IF THIS WAS THE PROBLEM. I HAVE RECEIPTS SHOWING PURCHASE FOR THE REPAIR. THIS SHOULD BE COVERED. MY FAMILY WAS IN DANGER EVERY TIME WE DROVE AND CHRYSLER REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT!!!! THE NEW WIN MODULE SOLVED THE ISSUE AND IT HAS NOT STALLED ONCE SINCE THE NEW ONE INSTALLED!

THE TIPM IN MY 2010 T&C HAS A FAULTY FUEL PUMP RELAY I HAVE COME TO BELIEVE AND AFTER FINDING A PETITION WAS DENIED I AM LOOKING FOR RESOLUTIONS . THESE CAR MANUFACTURES BUILD VEHICLES AS CHEAP AS THEY CAN AND DONT CARE FOR PUBLIC SAFETY JUST PROFITS IF YOU MAKE A MISTAKE OWN UP TO IT AND FIX IT ! MALE A BETTER PRODUCT AND PEOPLE WILL BUY IT GLADLY IF ITS A GOOD VEHICLE . CHRYSLER NEEDS TO RECALL THE RELAY IN TOWN AND COUNTRYS VANS! MY VAN DOES NOT WANT TO START AFTER SITTING HAS NOT HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING THANK GOD

WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT HEADLIGHTS FLICKERED AND THEN WENT OUT. AFTER PULLING OVER TO SIT FOR ABOUT 15 MIN, LIGHTS STILL DIDN'T WORK. COULDN'T DRIVE AT ALL. NEXT DAY TRIED LIGHTS DURING DAY TIME AND WORKED. AFTER 24 HOURS LIGHTS STOPPED WORKING AGAIN. NEW BULBS ARE IN PLACE, NO WARNING LIGHTS CAME IN THAT LIGHTS WERE NOT WORKING OR A SHORT WAS NOTED OR AN ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILURE. CAR IS NOT THROWING ANY ELECTRICAL CODE FAILURES EITHER.

MY CAR STEREO KEEPS GOING ON AND OFF, HARDLY EVER STAYS ON LONG ENOUGH TO LISTEN OR WATCH ANYTHING LONGER THAN MAYBE 5 MINS. PERIODICALLY MORE OFTEN THAN NOT. IT'S AN EVERYDAY PROBLEM.

ON SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 2019 I WAS DRIVING ON U.S. 36 FROM DANVILLE, IN TO AVON, IN. NEAR THE INTERSECTION OF 550 E MY FRONT PASSENGER TIRE FLEW OFF MY CAR WHILE I WAS GOING 55 M.P.H. LUCKILY I WAS IN THE SLOW LANE AND WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD AND NO ONE WAS HURT. THE REASON I AM WRITING IS BECAUSE ALL 5 STUDS ARE MISSING FROM THE WHEEL HUB. THERE IS NO METAL REMAINING AND NO SIGNS OF SHEARING. I DONT KNOW IF THIS IS A RECALL OR IF NOT, MAYBE IT SHOULD BE.

LAST NIGHT OUR VAN JUST SHUT DOWN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD SO I HAD NO POWER STEERING OR BRAKES. LOOKING INTO THE PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET I DISCOVER THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE TOWN AND COUNTRY. AND THIS ISN'T THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO US. IT ALWAYS HAPPENS IN MOTION. THIS IS PROBABLY THE THIRD OR FOURTH TIME IT HAS HAPPENED. CHECKED THE VIN FOR ANY RECALLS AND HAD NO RECALLS COME UP. NOW I'M FURIOUS THAT CHRYSLER DOES NOT WANT HELP ANYONE WITH THE PROBLEM. THIS IS MY WIFE'S MAIN VEHICLE AND HAULS OUR 3 KIDS IN IT. IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. I HAVE OWNED SEVERAL CHRYSLER VEHICLES OVER THE YEARS. I FINANCIALLY CAN'T GO BUY ANOTHER BRAND OF VEHICLE AT THE DROP OF A HAT, BUT I WILL GET RID OF THIS PROBLEM AS SOON AS I CAN AND GO OUT OF MY WAY TO DISCOURAGE ANYONE FROM BUYING CHRYSLER. I DON'T CARE IF THEY GO OUT OF BUSINESS. OBVIOUSLY THE PEOPLE AT CHRYSLER DON'T DRIVE THEIR OWN PRODUCT OR THIS WOULDN'T BE AN ISSUE ANYMORE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED OUTSIDE OF THE GARAGE, IT FAILED TO START WHEN THE KEY WAS TURNED IN THE IGNITION. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO START THE IGNITION WITHIN FIVE MINUTES. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT CHANGED THE BATTERY AND TOOK THE VEHICLE TO SAM LEMAN CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM BLOOMINGTON (LOCATED AT 1602 COMMERCE PKWY, BLOOMINGTON, IL 61704, (309) 316-0591) . THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000.

WHILE IN MOTION MY CAR TURNS OFF WHILE DRIVING. WHILE IN PARK SOMETIMES IT WILL NOT START RIGHT AWAY BUT EVERYTHING ELSE TURNS ON.

WHILE STATIONARY (PARKED), VEHICLE STARTS ON OWN AND ELECTRIC DOORS OPEN. WHILE IN MOTION, VEHICLE SHUTS OFF.
