2011 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY Complaints

HORN DOES NOT WORK AT STEERING WHEEL BUT WILL RANDOMLY BLOW WHEN A DOOR IS OPENED. THIS IS AN ONGOING OCCURRENCE SINCE "WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN" AS THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN FOUND.

THE ALTERNATOR FAILED AND BURNED UP AND COOKED THE BATTERY. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE CHRYSLER 300 AND OTHER MODELS WITH THE SAME ENGINE AND ALTERNATOR. I FEEL MY VEHICLE SHOULD BE RECALLED TOO. THE COST WAS $1,000!

AT FIRST STARTING THE VAN WAS INTERMITTENT YOU WOULD HAVE TO WAIT TILL YOU HEARD THE FUEL PUMP TURN ON IN ORDER TO START THE VEHICLE BECAUSE THE FUEL RELAY ON THE TIPM BOARD IS GOING BAD. ONCE YOU HEARD THE FUEL PUMP COME ON THE VAN WOULD START BUT THERE ARE TIMES WHERE THE STARTER STAYS ENGAGED AND WANTS TO KEEP TRYING TO START WHEN THE VAN IS RUNNING. LAST WEEKEND I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY WITH MY FIVE YEAR OLD DAUGHTER AND THE FUEL PUMP SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING( IN MOTION), SPEED LIMIT OF 70,.I LOST CONTROL OF THE STEERING, THE VAN DECELERATED VERY QUICKLY IN HEAVY AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC, I WAS NEARLY IN A MULTI-CAR ACCIDENT. WHEN THE VAN IS SHUT OFF I AM NOT SURE THE AIR BAGS WILL WORK IF I HAD BEEN INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE TO UNPLUG THE FUSE TO THE FUEL PUMP EVERY TIME I GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE BECAUSE THE FUEL PUMP KEEPS RUNNING DRAINING MY BATTERY. I HAD TO PAY $200.00 TO REPLACE MY BATTERY. THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH DODGE AND CHRYSLER FOR 10 YEARS THEY KNOW ABOUT IT BUT IT WILL TAKE SOMEONE DYING IN ORDER FOR THEM TO RECALL ALL VEHICLES AFFECTED. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY VAN BECAUSE I FEEL IN THIS CURRENT STATE IT IS UNSAFE BECAUSE IT HAS SHUT DOWN BECAUSE OF THE FUEL RELAY ON THE TIPM BOARD.

MY SIDE MIRROR WAS HIT AND REPLACED. RIGHT AFTER REPLACEMENT, THE SIDE SENSOR DIDN'T WORK. SHOP WAS ALREADY CLOSED, I HAD MY WHOLE FAMILY IN THE CAR ON 295 WHEN ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH STARTED LIGHTING UP INCLUDING THE BATTERY, THE AC WENT OUT, WINDOWS STOPPED WORKING, BACK UP CAM FLASHED. PULLED OFF THE ROAD JUST IN TIME FOR THE VAN TO SHUT DOWN AND LEAVE US STRANDED. AFTER TOWING IT BACK AND UNERRING HOME, THE REPAIR SHOP SAID THEY TOWED IT TO A DEALERSHIP THAT SAID, SORRY, YOU ALTERNATOR WENT OUT, PAY US $1375!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED DURING THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (SUPER DEAL MOTORS, 5821 FUNSTON ST, HOLLYWOOD, FL 33023) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE COMPUTER MODULE FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND INFORMED THE CONTACT TO FILE A COMPLAINT WITH NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE WAS UNABLE TO OPERATE THE WINDOWS USING THE WINDOW CONTROLS DUE TO THE WIRES BEING DISCONNECTED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V234000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE DEALER THAT PERFORMED THE INTERIM REPAIR WAS DAVE DENNIS CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM (4232 COLONEL GLENN HWY, DAYTON, OH) WHO STATED THAT THE PARTS WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 50,000.

ON HIGHWAY, I SWITCHED ON HIGH BEAM, FT WIPERS TURNED ON AND WILL NOT TURN OFF. JNSTRUMENT LIGHTS, TURN SIGNALS, TAIL LIGHTS STOPPED WORKING, NO HIGH BEAM, NO STOP LIGHTS

I HAVE HAD ELECTRICAL ISSUES SINCE THE BEGINNING OF BUYING OUR VEHICLE BRAND NEW. MOST RECENTLY THE ENGINE STALLED WHILE DRIVING 25MPH, ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND FLASHED BEFORE THE ENGINE STALLED CAUSING POWER STEERING TO FAIL. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THEY COULD NOT FIND AN ISSUE. THE FOLLOWING WEEK, ON 3/16/18 THEY DID AN OIL CHANGE AND AIR FILTER CHANGE, AGAIN DID NOT FIND ANY ISSUES. ON 3/19/18, AS I WAS DRIVING MY 3 KIDS TO SCHOOL, THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON AND I LOST POWER STEERING. I ALMOST CRASHED WITH THE KIDS IN THE CAR DUE TO THIS ISSUE. I ENDED UP DRIVING IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THE POWER BELT WAS COMPLETELY OFF AND THE ALTERNATOR WAS NOT ATTACHED TO THE ENGINE AS IT SHOULD BE. THE BRACKETS THAT HOLD THE ALTERNATOR ON, WAS GONE. THIS WAS THE 3RD TIME THIS MONTH I HAVE BROUGHT THIS VEHICLE IN, WAS TOLD MULTIPLE TIMES THERE WAS NO ISSUE. NOW WE COULD POSSIBLY HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENGINE BLOCK.

THE TRANSMISSION HAS KNOW ISSUES OF SLIPPAGE. THIS SLIPPAGE CAUSED ME TO ROLL BACKWARDS AT AN MAJOR INTERSECTION AND ALMOST CAUSE A ACCIDENT. THIS CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY HAS HAD HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS IN THE LAST FEW YEARS BUT THIS TYPE OF MALFUNCTION DUE TO THE SLIPPAGE ON THE TRANSMISSION COULD RESULT IN FATALITIES. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED THIS HAS WENT ON THE ENTIRE TIME WE HAVE OWNED THE CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY NOW IT JUST GETS WORSE AND WORSE BY THE DAY.

MY 2011 CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY QUIT WHILE DRIVING ON HENSIL RD PORT ORANGE, FL. LOST POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES. WAS ABLE TO PULL TO SIDE OF ROAD. FOUND PROBLEM IS FUEL PUMP RELAY IN THE TIPM IS INSUFFICIENT TO CARRY THE LOAD. A RECALL WAS ISSUED FOR 2011 DURANGO AND JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE, BUT NOT 2011 DODGE CARAVAN OR CHRYSLER T&C FOR THE SAME PROBLEM.
