2013 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY Complaints

FOR WEEKS CAR WOULD NOT START IN THE MORNINGS BEFORE WORK OR AFTER BEING PARKED FOR SEVERAL HOURS. CAR BATTERY NEEDED TO BE BOOSTED/JUMPED IN ORDER TO START, AFTER A FEW WEEKS OF THIS BATTERY DRAINED, BAD BATTERY (HAD TO PURCHASE NEW BATTERY AND TOLD THIS WAS THE ISSUE.) EVEN WITH THE NEW BATTERY CAR WOULD NOT WANT TO START AFTER BEING PARKED A FEW HOURS OR OVERNIGHT, ESPECIALLY IN VERY COLD WEATHER. CAR CRANKS BUT NOT START UNTIL AFTER SEVERAL TRIES OF TURNING WOULD START TO RUN THEN SHUT OFF AFTER A MINUTE THEN WOULD START AFTER A FEW TIMES OF STALLING OR TURNING OFF. CAR HAS STALLED AND/OR REFUSED TO START SEVERAL TIMES WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE LEAVING US STRANDED A FEW TIMES AND INCONVENIENT AND UNSAFE FOR MY 4 AND 5 YEAR OLDS, ESPECIALLY MY 4 YEAR OLD WHO IS A TYPE ONE DIABETIC. CAR HAS HAD DIFFICULTY ACCELERATING AND HAS STALLED ON MAJOR STREETS AND HIGHWAYS AND I HAVE REQUIRED ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE ON THREE OCCASIONS IN THE LAST TWO WEEKS CONCERNING THIS ISSUE THAT I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO THREE DIFFERENT MECHANICS AND ALL SAY THE FUEL PUMP RELAY AND ONE SAID POSSIBLY THE FUEL PUMP OR FUEL PUMP RELAY AND THERE IS A HISTORY OF THIS ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE AND THERE HAVE BEEN RECALLS IN 2012 CONCERNING THE SAME ISSUE AND PART THE FUEL PUMP RELAY, HOWEVER THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL FOR THE 2013 TOWN AND COUNTRY YET THE JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE AND DODGE RAM ALREADY OFFERED RECALLS FOR THE SAME ISSUE AND YEAR. MANY PEOPLE WITH THE 2013 TOWN AND COUNTRY ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE FUEL PUMP RELAY AND WE SHOULD BE OFFERED A RECALL AS WELL FOR THIS FAULTY PART WHICH IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT CAN CAUSE A VEHICLE TO STOP AND /OR NOT START AT ANYTIME.

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ZEIGLER CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM OF DOWNERS GROVE (2311 OGDEN AVE, DOWNERS GROVE, IL 60515, (630) 241-5500) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE PCM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED DUE TO THE REPAIR FEES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 93,000.

WHEN TRYING TO START MY VAN ALL THE DASH LIGHTS COME ON BUT THE VAN WILL NOT START AND THE ETC LIGHT COMES ON. THERE IS A CLICKING SOUND IN THE FUSE BOX AND THE BRAKE LIGHTS DO NOT LIGHT UP WHEN THE PEDAL IS PUSHED. TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC WHO STATED THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL PUMP. THERE IS CURRENTLY A RECALL ON THE FUEL PUMP RELAY FOR CERTAIN TOWN & COUNTRY VANS BUT FOR SOME REASON DOES NOT INCLUDE THIS PARTICULAR ONE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING.

MY ENGINE LIGHT KEEPS APPEARING AFTER ALMOST 3 YEARS OF OWNING THIS VEHICLE. IT USUALLY OCCURS WHEN I TURN ON THE HEATING SYSTEM AND HAVE ALREADY BEEN IN MOTION FOR AWHILE. TYPICALLY WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. THE LAST OCCURRENCE WAS CITY DRIVING BUT AGAIN WHEN THE HEATING SYSTEM WAS TURNED ON. I HAVE MY VEHICLE AT THE SHOP AGAIN AND THE MECHANIC IS SAYING IT IS SOMETHING REGARDING THE OIL. SOMETHING ABOUT A VACUUM. I ALSO ASSUME THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. WITHIN THE FIRST FEW DAYS OF OWNING MY VEHICLE IT WAS BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR 2 WEEKS. THE RADIO ALWAYS TURNS OFF ON IT'S OWN AND SOME OF THE DASH COMPONENTS. WHICH IT STILL DOES ALMOST 3 YEARS INTO OWNING THIS VEHICLE.

CAR CONTINUE TO TURN OFF. ENGINE AND ELECTRIC PROBLEM AS WELL. TOOK IT TO NUMEROUS AUTO REPAIR SHOPS AND WAISTED A LOT OF MONEY. NOTHING GOT FIXED SAID IT'S A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM, MECHANICS TRY TO FIX BUT FAILED TO DO TO IT'S A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM. RECALL THESE VANS!!! KIDS ARE IN THESE VAN'S AND THEY JUST CUTT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY AND I'VE CHANGED OUT EVERYTHING, NOTHING WORKS! SHUTS OFF RANDOMLY IN THE STREETS AND HIGHWAYS! BIG SAFETY HASSARD!! RECALL THEM ALL! MY COUSIN HAS A DODGE ONE AND IT DOES THE EXACT SAMETHING.
