THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CAMSHAFT FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO NAPLETON'S ARLINGTON HEIGHTS CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (1155 W DUNDEE RD, ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, IL 60004) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CAMSHAFT AND TIMING CHAIN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PASSENGER AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED WHETHER OR NOT THE SEAT WAS OCCUPIED.

I WAS DRIVING A SOLID 40 SOME MPH AND HIT A DEER HEAD ON WITHOUT HITTING BRAKES SO DIRECT IMPACT. THE DEER WAS HUGE WEIGHING APPROX 300-325 LBS. WHY DIDN'T THE AIRBAGS DEPLOY

MY ENGINE HAS SPRUNG A MAJOR OIL LEAK UNDERNEATH THE INTAKE MANIFOLD. I'VE SEEN HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE. IT APPEARS THAT CHRYSLER PUT A PLASTIC COOLANT TO OIL OIL COOLER UNDER THE MANIFOLD THAT IS FAILING. IN MY OPINION THE IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE! THIS IS A FIRE HAZARD, COULD CAUSE LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, COULD CAUSE SUDDEN BREAKDOWNS. AS WIDE SPREAD OF A PROBLEM THIS IS I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY THERES NOT A RECALL ON IT. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS SEARCH TOWN COUNTRY OIL COOLER AND YOU'LL SEE. WE WERE ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN WE NOTICED THE OIL BURNING SMELL. LIFTED THE HOOD AND THE OIL WAS ALREADY OVER 2 QUARTS LOW.

MY VAN STARTED EXPERIENCING TIMES WHEN IT WOULD NOT START. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS THE STARTER AND THEN AFTER A FEW MINUTES OF TRYING IT WOULD START. IT WAS NOT THE STARTER. THIS WENT ON FOR SEVERAL WEEKS AND THEN I NOTICED THAT IF THE DOOR WAS OPEN IT WOULD START, THEN IF I JIGGLED THE WIRES IN THE DOOR IT WOULD START. AFTER A AWHILE THAT WOULDN'T MAKE IT START. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED AND THE KEY WAS LEFT IN THE IGNITION AND AS THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER WAS GETTING READY TO PUT THE VEHICLE ON THE TRUCK HE SLAMMED THE DOOR AND IT STARTED!! WE THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE THE WIRING HARNESS IN THE DOOR SO WE REMOVED IT AND IT WORKED PERFECTLY WHILE IT WAS OUT. WE THEN REPLACED THE WIRING WITH OEM PARTS AND THEN THE PROBLEM STARTED HAPPENING AGAIN. IT WAS INTERMITTENT AND WOULD ALWAYS START IF YOU SLAMMED THE DOOR UNTIL 2 DAYS AGO AND NOW IT WON'T START AT ALL. THE REPAIR SHOP SAYS IT IS THROWING 40 CODES AND THAT IT NEEDS A NEW TIPM JUST TO SEE WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT. IT COSTS WELL OVER $1000!!! AND IT MAY NOT FIX IT.I KNOW THAT CHRYSLER HAS HAD RECALLS FOR THE TIPM IN THE PAST AND QUITE OBVIOUSLY THEY HAVE NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO PERFORMANCE CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM CENTERVILLE (95 LOOP RD, CENTERVILLE, OH 45459, (937) 434-9500) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNSOED THAT THE WIRELESS IGNITION NODE WAS FAULTY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

THE PASSENGER SIDE ACTIVE HEADREST EXPLODED (LUCKILY JUST AFTER WE GOT OUT OF THE CAR). THERE WAS NOT A ACCIDENT THAT TRIGGERED IT. THE CAR WAS PARKED IN OUR DRIVEWAY. THE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF. UPON RESEARCHING I SEE MANY COMPLAINTS OF THIS SAME ISSUE. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED!

THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON OUR TOWN AND COUNTRY COMES ON FROM TIME FROM TO TIME, BUT SEEMS TO GO OFF AFTER DRIVING THE VAN FOR A WHILE. EVERY TIME WE HAVE TAKEN IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP, THE LIGHT WILL BE ON BUT BY THE TIME WE GET TO THE DEALERSHIP 30 MILES AWAY THE LIGHT IS OFF. WITH THE LIGHT OFF THE DEALERSHIP CANNOT DIAGNOSE THAT PROBLEM. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE IN THE CASE THE AIR BAGS ARE EVER DEPLOYED. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS.

PASSENGER SIDE HEAD REST EJECTED AND WILL NOT RESET. THERE WERE NO ACCIDENTS INVOLVE, THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN THE HEADREST ACTIVATED. NEED TO ZIP TIED THE HEAD REST BACK IN PLACE. THE VE
