2014 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY Complaints

LEAKING OIL SO I TOOK IT IN AND MECHANIC SAYS THE OIL FILTER HOUSING IS CRACKED AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. APPARENTLY IT'S PRETTY COMMON AMONG THESE VEHICLES AND HE'S HAVING A HARD TIME GETTING THE PART TO FIX IT. IT'S ON BACK ORDER.

I NOTICED SOME TYPE OF OIL LEAKING UNDER MY VEHICLE. I TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THE OIL FILTER HOUSING NEEDED REPLACED. THEY SAID IT WOULD COST AROUND $1,000, BUT THAT THERE WAS NO ETA ON WHEN THEY WOULD HAVE THAT PART IN STOCK. I CALLED A SMALL AUTO MECHANIC SHOP TO SEE IF THEY COULD GIVE ME A COMPETITIVE PRICE, BUT THEY AREN'T ABLE TO FIND THE PART AVAILABLE THROUGH ANY THIRD PARTY VENDORS. MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN SITTING AT THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP FOR OVER 2 WEEKS WAITING FOR THEM TO LET ME KNOW WHEN THE PART WILL BE AVAILABLE. THE DIAGNOSTIC FEE IS $135 AND WILL ONLY GO TOWARDS THE PRICE OF THE REPAIRS IF THOSE HAPPEN WITHIN 30 DAYS, SO TO KEEP FROM WASTING MONEY AND HAVING MAJOR ISSUES ARISE FROM THIS LEAK I HAVEN'T PICKED UP MY VEHICLE AND WE ARE PLAYING LEAP FROG WITH MY HUSBAND'S SMALL CAR.

GOING 65MPH ON MAJOR HIGHWAY WENT OFF ROAD TAKING OUT MULTIPLE BIG CONCRETE IN GROUND SIGNS. THEN WENT ON 2WHEELS SLAMMED BACK DOWN IN A DOWN HILL MEDIAN. NO AIRBAGS WAS DEPLOYED. TOWN & COUNTRY TOTAL LOSS. ENTIRE FRONT END DAMAGED AND BACK PASSENGER AXEL & WINDSHIELD HUGE CINDER BLOCK TYPE HOLES WITH SHARDS OF GLASS EVERYWHERE EVEN IN OUR EARS! NO AIR BAG DEPLOYED OR ATTEMPTED. I HAD ALMOST HALF TANK GAS NOW EMPTY LIGHT IS ON.

I BOUGHT A 2014 TOWN AND COUNTRY FROM MORAN BUICK DEALERSHIP IN SEPTEMBER 2020 BY FEBRUARY 2021 I HAD TO REPLACE COMPONENTS IN MY DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW TWICE DUE TO FAILURE AND THE WINDOW FALLING IN MY DOOR. ALSO NOTICED A HUGE OIL SPOT ON DRIVEWAY WENT TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT AND WAS TOILD MY OIL FILTER HOUSING CRACKED AND IT ON BACK ORDER OVER 4 MONTH. LOOKING ONLINE THIS IS A HUGE ISSUE. HOW CAN I FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY FAMILY IN THIS VEHICLE WITH OIL LEAKING OUT CONSTANTLY.

THE OIL PUMP COOLANT LINE AND HOUSING NEEDS TO BE REPLACED - COSTING ABOUT $1K FOR PARTS AND LABOR. THE VAN ONLY HAS 115K MILES AND HAS BEEN WELL-MAINTAINED. I HEARD FROM BOTH THE AUTO REPAIR SHOP AND THE DEALER THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AMONG MANY OTHER VANS AND THAT THE PARTS ARE ON BACKORDER FOR 2 MONTHS (ABOUT 15K NEEDED). IT'S NOT JUST ME HAVING THIS ISSUE BUT THOUSANDS. A RECALL SHOULD BE IN EFFECT.

NOTICED ENGINE OIL LEAKING (UNKNOWN WHEN IT STARTED). INITIALLY THOUGH IT MAY HAVE BEEN OIL SPILLED WHEN CHANGING OIL. IT TURNS OUT THE OIL IS LEAKING FORM FILTER HOUSING (ALSO INCLUDES ENGINE OIL COOLER). ENGINE NEEDS EXPENSIVE REPAIR TO FIX DUE TO PLASTIC PARTS. PART IS NOT AVAILABLE TO PURCHASE (BACK ORDER). OIL LEAKS IS HEAVY, UNSURE IF IT MAY POSE A FIRE HAZARD.

THE RADIO HAS STOPPED WORKING. THE SCREEN WILL SOMETIMES COME ON TO ALL WHITE THEN GO OFF AGAIN AND OTHER TIMES THE CHRYSLER SYMBOL WILL SHOW THEN GO OFF AFTER A FEW MINUTE. NO SOUND, NO BACK UP CAMERA, NOTHING . BEEN DOING THIS FOR 3 DAYS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS LEAKING OIL UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT HAD THE OIL FILTER HOUSING REPLACED. RECENTLY WHILE DRIVING 28 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROADWAY. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS, THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND PULLED TO SIDE OF THE ROADWAY. THE CONTACT HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO STEVENSON-HENDRICK TOYOTA JACKSONVILLE (3124 NEW BERN HWY, JACKSONVILLE, NC 28546) WHO DIAGNOSED THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT A ROD WENT THRU THE ENGINE CAUSING TO FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 144,000.

HAD MY OIL CHANGED AND TUNED UP LAST MONTH ROUGHLY 3 DAYS LATER I NOTICED OIL ON MY DRIVE. BROUGHT IT TO A FRIEND AND SAT FOR 30 MIN AND A PUDDLE OF OIL SHOWED UP IN HIS GARAGE FLOOR. WE CHECKED THE OIL LEVEL AND FOUND OIL ALL OVER THE MOTOR. I TOOK IT BACK TO WHERE I HAD MY WORK DONE AND WAS TOLD THE LEAK WAS COMING FROM UNDER THE OIL FILTER HOUSING ASSEMBLY AND THERE ARE 2000 ON BACK ORDER. WHICH MAKES ME THINK THERE IS A PROBLEM YOUR AWARE OF AND HOW DO I GET IT FIXED.

I NOTICED OIL UNDER MY VEHICLE. I CRAWLED UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED OIL WAS COATING ALL VISIBLE PARTS OF MOTOR. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION THE OIL FILTER HOUSING ASSEMBLY HAS DEVELOPED A CRACK IN IT. THIS IS A PLASTIC PIECE THAT IS AFFIXED TO THE ENGINE (HEAT AND PLASTIC DO NOT MIX). THIS HAS CAUSED OIL TO LEAK ONTO THE MOTOR (AT APPROXIMATELY 1 QUART PER 3000 MILES DRIVEN). THIS HAS THE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE A FIRE IN THE ENGINE BAY AT ANY TIME.
