2014 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY Complaints

BOTH DRIVER SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE HEADRESTS HAVE SPONTANEOUSLY DEPLOYED WITHIN A 6 MONTH PERIOD. THIS IS DUE TO A FLAWED DESIGN BY CHRYSLER ENGINEERING (USED PLASTIC CLIPS TO CONSTRAIN STRONG SPRING LOADED ACTUATORS IN THE HEADREST). THE DRIVER SIDE DEPLOYED WHILE I WAS DRIVING, HITTING ME IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD AND DISTRACTING ME IN TRAFFIC!

A USED VEHICLE, 2014 TOWN COUNTRY, JUST GOT ON THE ROAD FROM AN INTER CHANGE, SPEED LIMIT WAS 70 MPH, THUS ONLY GOING 65, PUT CRUISE CONTROL ON, WEATHER AND PAVMENT WAS DRY AND EXCELLENT CONDITIONS, PASSING GEAR KICKED IN CAUSING SPINNING OF FRONT TIRES AND VEERING OFF TO THE RIGHT, HITTING A UTILITY TRUCK NO DAMAGE TO TRUCK BUT MINE WOW !, BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE SINCE I BOUGHT IT, PROBLEM DEALER WOULD NOT LOOK AT PROBLEM VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION DEFECTIVE SENSORS ASSUMPTION.*DT*JB

I FILED WITH THE MANUFACTURER...AND ONCE AGAIN THE RUN ROUND. SENT ME TO YOU... SO BELOW IS MY COMPLAINT. HELLO ? MY NAME IS [XXX] . I PURCHASED THIS 2014 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY BELIEVING IT WOULD BE A SAFE VEHICLE FOR MY FAMILY SO THE EVENT TODAY WAS THE VAN JUST DECIDED TO SHUT OFF AS I AM DRIVING 50MPH DOWN THE ROAD! I COULDN'T TURN, I COULDN'T PUT IT IN NEUTRAL NOR COULD I BRAKE! I HAVE A 5YR AND A 3YR IN MY CAR!!! REALLY?! ALL THESE SENSORS AND [XXX] IN THIS CAR MAKES IT FATAL! THERE WAS A SEMI BEHIND ME THAT PROCEEDED TO FLIP ME OFF AND BLOW THE HORN AT ME INSTEAD OF SEEING IF WE WERE OK. WE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED! I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT TOMORROW TO BRING THE CAR IN HOWEVER THIS IS A SERIOUS SITUATION. NO WARNING! NO NOTHING! NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. LET ME JUST TELL YOU A LITTLE MORE ABOUT THIS POS? I BOUGHT IT WITH 30K MILES ON IT. I ONLY HAD IT FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS AND HAD TO HAVE THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION REBUILT WHICH STILL TO THIS DAY SHIFTS HARD AND FEELS LIKE ITS GOING TO LITERALLY FALL OUT OF THE CAR. AFTER THAT IS WAS A TIRE SENSOR, THEN BOTH SEATS IN THE SECOND ROW WONT WORK AND THEY WANT $1200 TO FIX A CABLE! I FOLDED THEM INTO THE FLOOR MAYBE 4 TIMES AS WE USE THEM WHEN GOING ON VACATION! THE SLIDING DOORS ACT UP LIKE THEY ARE HAVING A SEIZURE! THE PIECES ALL AROUND THE CAR ARE BROKEN. THE RUNNING BOARDS THE PIECE IN THE BACK WHERE THE TRUNK IS AND THE PIECES ON THE FRONT WHERE IT SAYS CHRYSLER. THE AIR CONDITIONER WENT OUT! WHICH TOOK 3 TIMES FOR THE REPAIR MAN TO FIGURE IT OUT BECAUSE THERE WAS NO CODE FOR THE PROBLEM! THEN WHEN THEY HAD TO TEAR THE WHOLE DASH APART TO FIX THE PROBLEM NOW THE CLOCK DOESN?T WORK AND THE SPEEDOMETER TICKS LIKE THE IS A BOMB IN MY DASH! INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I OWN A 2014 TOWN AND COUNTRY. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS COME ON AT AROUND 59800 MILES. BROUGHT TO MECHANIC AND HE INFORMED ME CYLINDER 6 WAS MISFIRING. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION HE SAID THE CYLINDER HEAD WAS CRACKED. I CALLED CHRYSLER BECAUSE MECHANIC SAID THEY HAVE EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THIS SPECIFIC PART. I WAS TOLD MY YEAR IS NOT COVERED. ONLY UP TO 2013. UPON RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM IS STILL GOING ON. WITH MY YEAR AND OTHERS. THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM AND IT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. CHRYSLER SHOULD STAND BY THEIR PRODUCT AND FIX THESE ISSUES.

GOES DEAD WHEN COMING TO A STOP. ALSO HESITATES AFTER STOPPING, THEN ACCELERATING. DOES THIS ABOUT 2X/DAY. LOCAL DEALER COULD NOT DETERMINE THE PROBLEM. TOOK TO LOCAL TRANSMISSION MECHANIC, WHO HAS DETERMINED TRANSMISSION NEEDS REPLACING

THE BLIND SPOT INDICATORS FAILED AND SHORTED OUT DUE TO WATER INTRUSION. THE SENSORS ARE LOCATED IN THE REAR BUMPER WITH THE CONNECTOR/OPENING FACING THE REAR WHEELS WITH NO PROTECTION ALLOWING WATER AND SALT, ETC. TO PENETRATE THE SEAM ON THE SENSOR AS WELL AS THE CONNECTION TO THE HARNESS. IT CAUSED OUR BACK UP WARNING SYSTEM AND BLIND SPOT DETECTION SYSTEM TO STOP FUNCTIONING, AND SHORTED OUT THE SENSORS CAUSING THEM TO DRAIN THE BATTERY OVERNIGHT EVERY NIGHT (MAKING THE VEHICLE UNRELIABLE AND UNUSABLE), AND CAUSING THE ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY IN THE PROCESS. IT TOOK THREE SHOPS, $1,500 AND TWO MONTHS JUST TO IDENTIFY THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM (AFTER REPLACING BOTH ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY). ONCE THE ROOT CAUSE WAS IDENTIFIED, THE DEALER OFFERED A REPAIR FOR A MERE $1,600 (REPLACING BOTH SENSORS, HARNESS AND MODULE) AND STATED THAT IT IS A COMMON ISSUE AND HAPPENS ON VIRTUALLY ALL OF THESE VEHICLES BECAUSE THERE IS NOTHING PREVENTING WATER FROM ENTERING THESE SENSORS.

MY CAR IS JUST SHUTTING OFF WHILE GOING 60MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. JUST SHUTS OFF WHILE IN PARK, REMOTE START, DRIVING. WILL DO IT AT 20MPH, WILL DO IT AT 60MPH. ONCE IT SHUTS OFF, I LOOSE POWER STEERING.

THE DRIVER SIDE HEADREST'S AIRBAG DEPLOYED WITHOUT ANY PARTICULAR REASON. THE VAN WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY, AND MY WIFE WAS TAKING OUT HER BAG FROM THE PASSENGER SECTION WHEN SUDDENLY THE HEADREST DEPLOYED.

PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR IS BUZZING ANY TIME THE CAR IS UNLOCKED REMOTELY, USING A SWITCH, OR A BUTTON. NOW CONTINUOUSLY BUZZES ANY TIME A DOOR OR DOOR LOCK IS ACTIVATED.

DRIVING ONE MORNING CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. ALSO NOTICED VAN NOT WANTING TO SHIFT INTO OVERDRIVE 6TH GEAR . WENT TO GET CODE READ P060DD WAS PRESENT . STARTED BY CHECKING OIL VERY LOW . THEN NOTICED OIL ALL OVER THE TOP OF TRANSMISSION AND LEAKING DOWN SIDE OF MOTOR FROM UNDERNEATH THE INTAKE. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION NOTICED VALLEY OF ENGINE FULL OF OIL. ADDED ABOUT 3 QUARTS OF OIL AND DROVE CAR 30 MILES LIGHT WENT OFF. I FOUND MULTIPLE TSBS ABOUT THE OIL FILTER HOUSING. CALLED DEALER THEY SAID YEP IT'S A ISSUSE AND PARTS 286.. DURING THE REPAIR AFTER I REMOVED THE INTAKE I WAS ABLE TO CONFIRM THAT IT APPEARED TO BE THE OIL FILTER ADAPTER HOUSING LEAKING OIL. IN FILLED THE ENGINE VALLEY WITH OIL. I REPLACED THE PART PLUS NEW INTAKE GASKETS AND THEN DRAINED ALL THE OIL AND COOLANT. HOPEFULLY THIS PART DOESN'T FAIL AGAIN AS I USED A OEM FROM DODGE CHRYSLER
