2014 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY Complaints

A FEW WEEKS AFTER GETTING MY OIL CHANGED I WAS DRIVING WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK IT TO AUTO ZONE AND RAN A DIAGNOSTIC ON THE VEHICLE. THE RESULT WAS A CODE P0520 WHICH INDICATES A FAULT IN THE ENGINE OIL PRESSURE SENSOR/SWITCH ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT FOR A PREDETERMINED PERIOD OF TIME. MOST LIKELY SOLUTION IS TO REPLACE THE OIL PRESSURE SWITCH.

THE HEADREST BROKED BY ITSELF, THE PLASTIC OF THE MECHANISM CRACKED CAUSING THE HEADREST TO BE HOLD IN PLACE JUST BY THE MATERIAL. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, NOT INVOLVED IN ACCIDENT OR ANYTHING ELSE.

MY 8 YEAR OLD SON LEANED WITH HIS HAND ON THE BACK OF THE DRIVER SIDE HEAD REST. THE HEAD REST RELEASED SHOOTING FORWARD. UPON TRYING TO RESET THE HEADREST I NOTICED THE PLASTIC PIECE NEEDED TO HOLD THE SPRING MOUNT TO LOCK IT WAS BROKE THUS NOT ALLOWING ME TO RESET THE HEADREST. THE CAR WAS PARKED AND OFF WHILE THIS HAPPENED.

THE FRONT DRIVERS SEAT HEAD REST EXPLODED WHEN I WAS GETTING INTO THE CAR THE CAR WAS PARKED

ON JULY 3, 2020 I WAS SITTING AT A RED LIGHT AT NIGHT WHEN MY DRIVER SIDE HEADREST DEPLOYED/EXPLODED WITHOUT ANY WARNING, MY VEHICLE WAS NOT IN MOTION AT THE TIME. NO INJURIES BUT HEADREST IS DEFECTIVE NOW. I WOULD HAVE BEEN INJURED IF I WAS RESTING ON IT AT THE TIME WITHOUT A DOUBT.

DRIVERS SEAT ACTIVE HEAD RESTRAINT DEPLOYED UNEXPECTEDLY WITH NO IMPACT OR KNOWN REASON.

OUR 2014 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY DRIVER'S SIDE HEAD REST DEPLOYED. THE CAR WAS STATIONARY....PARKED IN OUR DRIVEWAY. NO ONE WAS HURT. THE PLASTIC PIECES ARE BROKEN UT THE METAL PIN IS IN PLACE.

AT 50,700 MILES AND 6 MONTHS OUT OF WARRANTY, MY FLEX PLATE CRACKED. THE FLEX PLATE CONNECTS TO THE END OF THE CRANKSHAFT AND THE TORQUE CONVERTER. IF YOUR VEHICLE IS RUNNING WHEN THE FLEX PLATE BREAKS YOUR TRANSMISSION WILL NOT RECEIVE THE ROTATIONAL POWER TRANSFER FROM THE ENGINE TO TURN YOU TORQUE CONVERTER, WHICH CAN CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO BECOME IMMOBILIZED WHILE DRIVING. TO REPAIR THE FLEX PLATE, THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION MUST BE REMOVED WHICH IS VERY EXPENSIVE. ADDITIONALLY, A CRACKED FLEX PLATE ALMOST ALWAYS INDICATES A GREATER PROBLEM WITH YOUR ENGINE OR TRANSMISSION. WE ALSO EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS WITH HESITATION AND/OR PEELING OUT WHEN DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR. THE VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL WAS UNPREDICTABLE AND DANGEROUS. THIS WAS MY FAMILY CAR THAT I THOUGHT I COULD RELY ON FOR YEARS. INSTEAD, I FELT VERY UNSAFE DRIVING IT, AND WAS DISAPPOINTED TO HAVE SUCH A MAJOR POWERTRAIN FAILURE AT SUCH LOW MILEAGE. CHRYSLER REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM, RECALL, AND PROPERLY REPAIR THE VEHICLE DESPITE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS OF PEOPLE LOSING CONTROL WHILE DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS DUE TO THIS EXACT PROBLEM. I DECIDED I DIDN'T WANT TO BE THE PERSON THAT DIED SO I TRADED IT IN INSTEAD OF REPAIRING IT, BUT I LOST A LOT OF MONEY IN DOING THAT. YOU CAN'T PUT A PRICE ON YOUR FAMILY'S SAFETY - DO NOT BUY THIS CAR.

VAN TURNED OFF AND WOULD CRANK BUT NOT START. HAPPENED AT RANDOM TIMES UNTIL IT WOULD NOT START AT ALL. WAS TOWED FOR REPAIR, WE HAD TO REPLACE THE TIPM. NOW ONLY A COUPLE WEEKS LATER THE VAN, AGAIN, WILL ONLY CRANK BUT NOT START. *TR

GOT IN MY CAR THIS MORNING AND NOTICED MY PASSENGER HEAD REST WAS STICKING OUT. DID SOME RESEARCH AND COME TO FIND OUT THE HEAD TEST DEPLOYED FOR NO REASON. I LOOKED AT IT MORE AND PLASTIC INSIDE OF IT BROKE WHICH CAUSE IT TO DEPLOY FOR NO REASON. *TR
