2015 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY Complaints

I WAS DRIVING ALONG IN MOTION, AN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR JUST COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND THE BRAKE GOT TIGHT. THANK GOD I WAS ON A SLOW STREET SO I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE CAR AND PUT IT IN PARK AND THE CAR STARTED RIGHT BACK UP AGAIN. THIS HAPPENED TO ME ONCE IN OCTOBER AND ONCE AGAIN A MONTH LATER IN NOVEMBER. IN NOVEMBER I WAS ON A REGULAR STREET IN TRAFFIC AND THE CAR SHUT DOWN. I WAS ABLE TO PUT IT IN PARK AND START IT BACK UP AGAIN. THIS IS SO SCARY AND A SAFETY PROBLEM. THANK GOD I DIDN'T CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.

THE VEHICLE IS ONLY 5 YEARS OLD, WE CAME FROM A SHORT 4 DAYS VACATION IN ELKO NEVADA, WE ARE HEADING HOME BUT AFTER PASSING DONNER PASS APPROACHING COLFAX THE ENGINE STARTED MAKING A CONSTANT CLICKING NOISE WHEN STARTING THE ENGINE, RPM SHOOTS UP BUT THE VEHICLE STRUGGLES TO SPEED UP AND COME TO THE POINT THAT THE VEHICLE IS NOT MOVING ANYMORE EVEN IT WAS IN THE DRIVE MODE UNLESS YOU TRY TO RESTART THE ENGINE, THEN IT WILL MOVE JUST A FEW METERS AWAY AND THE SAME STORY. THAT'S WHY I DECIDED TO CALL ON AAA TOWING SERVICE EVEN BECAUSE IT DIDN'T WORK OUT. NEED YOUR HELP AND ASSISTANCE REGARDING THIS MATTER.

CAR WAS RUNNING PERFECTLY AT 70 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY AND ENGINE CUT OFF WITHOUT ANY WARNING OR INDICATION OF POOR OPERATION, RESULTING IMMEDIATE LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND LOSS POWER BRAKES. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE IN 12 DAYS ON NOV 14 AND NOW NOV 26 WHILE DRIVING TO WHOLE FAMILY TO THANKSGIVING. MECHANIC HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. VERY SCARY. CAR HAS 76K MILES. CAR WILL START RIGHT BACK UP AFTER 20 MIN AND RUN PERFECTLY FINE. CAR HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED WITH EXTENDED WARRANTY.

HEADLIGHTS KEEP GOING OUT. I'VE HAD BOTH LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS REPLACED TWICE IN LESS THAN 3 MONTHS. HIGH BEAMS, SIGNAL, PARKING LIGHTS ALL WORK AS THEY SHOULD. I TOOK IT TO A SHOP AND THEY SAID THE HID HEADLIGHT BALLAST NEEDED REPLACED. NO POWER GOING TO LOW BEAMS. HAD IT REPLACED AND LIGHTS WORKED FINE FOR ABOUT 2 MONTHS. NOW I'M HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN. I JUST BOUGHT THE VAN IN JULY. I'VE SEARCHED THE PROBLEM AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A RECURRING ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL.

THE DRIVERS SIDE HEADREST DEPLOYED OPEN FOR NO REASON. THE VEHICLE WAS SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY NOT MOVING.

DRIVER HEADREST DEPLOYED RANDOMLY. CAR WASN'T IN ANY SORT OF COLLISION. PLASTIC SUPPORT INSIDE HEADREST FAILED. PLASTIC HOLDS SMALL BAR THAT ENGAGES WITH ELECTRONIC POWERED CLIPS.

SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THIS YEAR, THE DRIVER SIDE SEATBELT HAS OPENED ITSELF (UNLATCHED ITSELF) 5 TIMES WHILE DRIVING.

SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT WARNING, MY TRANSMISSION FAILED. NO WARNING NOISES, NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I WAS ON A COUNTRY ROAD WITH MY 7 YEAR OLD SON IN THE CAR AND NO HELP FOR MILES. HAD WE BEEN ON A HIGHWAY, WE MAY HAVE BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION WHEN I HEARD A WHINING/ WINDING SOUND. THE ENGINE REVVED HIGH AND WOULDN'T MOVE FORWARD. I PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER, TURNED MY VEHICLE OFF, TURNED IT BACK ON AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED. I CALLED A TOW TRUCK TO GET MY VEHICLE TO A REPAIR SHOP WHERE I WAS TOLD THAT THE COMPUTER IS SHOWING AN ERROR CODE FOR THE TRANSMISSION.

PASSENGER FRONT HEADREST EXPLODED WHILE STATIONARY. WE WERE AT A STOP LIGHT, THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT OR IMPACT. IT CANNOT BE RESET AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I DO NOT FEEL LIKE WE SHOULD HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET WHEN THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE AND A SAFETY ISSUE.

CAR SHUTS OFF RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING. IT SHUTS OFF BOTH AT SLOW SPEEDS SUCH AS DRIVELING IN A PARKING LOT AND AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. ALL POWER SHUTS OFF INCLUDING POWER STEERING AND THE BREAKS WON'T WORK. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME 4 TIMES WHILE DRIVING AND POSES A HUGE SAFETY RISK. I HAVE ONLY NARROWLY MISSED SEVERAL ACCIDENTS DUE TO THIS.
