2013 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY Complaints

VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN WITH NO ADVANCE WARNING! THERE ARE NO ERROR OR FAULT CODES STORED IN THE PCM. VERY DANGEROUS WHILE OPERATING ON THE HIGHWAY. THE VEHICLE IS TOTALLY DISABLED WHEN THIS OCCURS. THE CONDITION SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH CHRYSLER PRODUCTS AS DESCRIBED ON THE INTERNET. SOMEONE (FED. GOVT.) SHOULD IMMEDIATELY LAUNCH AN INVESTIGATION INTO THIS SERIOUS AND/OR DEADLY SITUATION. THE VEHICLE HAS APPROXIMATELY 74000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP! TODAY IT HAPPENED THREE TIMES.

2013 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY TOURING RANDOMLY SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. IT'S HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN A PARKING LOT, 1 TIME IN MY DRIVEWAY IN REVERSE, AND ONE TIME ON THE HIGHWAY TRAVELING AT 55+ MPH. I LOSE POWER STEERING, POWER BRAKES, AND PROBABLY MORE. IF I PUT THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL AND TURN THE KEY IT HAS FIRED BACK UP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE SLIDING DOOR WOULD NOT REMAIN CLOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC OR DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 54,000.

THE ACTIVE HEAD RESTRAINT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE DEPLOYED ON ITS OWN WHEN NO ONE WAS IN THE CAR.

THE FRONT PASSENGER HEADREST POPPED OPEN, HITTING MY HEAD, WHILE WE WERE SITTING IN THE PARKED CAR (AT TACO BELL EATING). IT WILL NOT GO BACK IN PLACE. THE DEALERSHIP WANTS $800 TO REPLACE IT AND CHRYSLER CLAIMS THAT OTHER VIN FROM THAT YEAR HAVE RECALLS BUT NOT MINE?! THEY WILL NOT HELP REPLACE THE DEPLOYED HEADREST.

WHILE DRIVING THE VAN, IT RANDOMLY STALLS AND EVERYTHING GOES DEAD ON THE CAR. THE IGNITION DOES NOT TURN OVER, IT JUST KEEPS CRANKING.AFTER A WHILE IT STARTS BACK UP AND THEN IT EVENTUALLY HAPPENS AGAIN. THIS HAPPENS AT HIGH SPEEDS AND LOW SPEED AND JUST LEAVES YOU STRANDED. NO DEALER KNOWS THE PROBLEM. IT IS VERY UNSAFE. IT HAPPENED TO MY FAMILY IN A HIGHWAY.

ON SEPTEMBER 2018 WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY MY 2013 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY STARTED STALLING NOTICE THAT IT WAS LOSING POWER I BARELY MADE IT HOME WHEN I TRY TO OPEN SIDE DOORS NOTICE THAT NONE OF THE POWER SIDE DOORS WOULDN'T OPEN THEY WERE STUCK WE CAN'T OPEN THE DOORS AND ONCE WE TURNED OFF THE VAN IT WOULDN'T START WE THOUGHT IT WAS THE BATTERY SO WE GOT A NEW ONE, BUT THE BATTERY WASN'T THE PROBLEM. BECAUSE WHEN WE CONNECTED THE BATTERY IT TURNED ON BUT ONCE AGAIN WE SHUT DOWN THE ENGINE IT WOULDN'T START AGAIN... WE NOTICE IT STARTED MAKING A NOISE AND LOSING POWER AND THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN AND IT WOULDN'T START AGAIN SO WE DECIDED TO DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY SO WE CAN SEE IF IT WOULD TURN ON THE NEXT DAY AND IT BUT SO THAT IT WHAT WE HAVE TO DO EVERYTIME WE WOULD GO SOMEWHERE. BUT THAN WE STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION IT STARTED FAILING SO NOW WE ARE ALSO HAVING TO DEAL WITH THE TRANSMISSION...ALL THIS IS DRIVING US CRAZY NEVER HAD PROBLEMS WITH MY OTHER 2 TO VAN'S THAT WE BOUGHT BEFORE, BUT THIS ONE IS A LEMON IF ITS NOT ONE THING IT'S ANOTHER LAST YEAR WE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE ENGINE HAD TO TAKE IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND NOW ALL THIS ELECTRICAL AND TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS I ACTUALLY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO....PLEASE HELP THAT IS MY ONLY VEHICLE TO GET TO WORK.

DRIVING ON FREEWAY AT NIGHT # 2 LANE AT ABOUT 74 MPH ENGINE JUST SHUT OFF WAS ALMOST HIT BY 3 CARS. MADE IT TO SHOULDER ENGINE WOULD NOT RESTART ETC (ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL) LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. CALLED AAA TOW TRUCK DRIVER COULD NOT START VEHICLE . HAD VAN TOWED ABOUT 15 MILES. I RODE WITH TOW TRUCK. WHEN VAN WAS DROPPED OFF GOT INSIDE TO STAY WARM UNTIL MY RIDE ARRIVED. TRIED AGAIN TO START VAN WAS SUCCESSFUL BUT CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. JUST BOUGHT THIS USED VAN FROM A HONDA DEALER IN COSTA MESA AS A USED CAR. IT HAS ABOUT 65,411 MILES. VERY, VERY DANGEROUS ALMOST GOT HIT 3 TIMES AS I MADE MY WAY OVER TO THE SHOULDER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND IDLING, A NOISE SIMILAR TO A GUNSHOT WAS HEARD. THE CONTACT REALIZED THAT THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE HEAD REST AIR BAG DEPLOYED. AFTERWARDS, THE PASSENGER SIDE SLIDING DOOR DID NOT LOCK AND ALL THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS, INCLUDING THE RADIO AND GPS MALFUNCTIONED. EVER SINCE JULY OF 2018, THE CONTACT MADE NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS TO SCHEDULE A DIAGNOSTIC APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALER (BLACK CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM, 831 SALISBURY RD, STATESVILLE, NC 28677). THE DEALER STATED THAT THE REPAIRS COULD NOT BE SCHEDULED UNLESS THE HEADQUARTERS AUTHORIZED THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 84,662.

MY VEHICLE RANDOMLY SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES AT SPEEDS UP TO 45 MILES PER HOUR. I LOSE ALL POWER INCLUDING STEERING AND I ASSUME AIR BAGS.
