2015 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY Complaints

Wife was driving vehicle home and loud whining began. Vehicle started to jerk on way home. Got home to driveway and car would not pull itself up the hill of driveway. Vehicle will not shift into any gear now except park.

*The drivers side headrest popped open while I was driving and yes it is available for inspection. Prior to this (several months), the passenger side headrest did the same thing while a passenger was in the seat. *When the headrest deployed/opened, it hit me in the back of the head. *No. *No. No, there were no warnings.

There is a loud ticking noise coming from the engine. A mechanic said it’s a rocket arm failure. He said there are problems with them and were recalled in 2014. After researching the problem, it appears that the problem extends past the 2014 model year. You tube has hundreds of repair videos for this engine. The mechanic said that the problem will only get worse and can cause the engine to stall and miss and it will eventually freeze up causing a possible accident. Please investigate this. I have maintained this vehicle well with oil changes every 3000 miles. Thank you.

The seals in the oil cooler adapter failed. Began leaking oil from the top of the motor down onto the exhaust. This could easily cause a fire when the oil drips onto a hot exhaust. Confirmed by several mechanics and replicated in nearly ALL vehicles with the 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine. There was no warning lamps. The smell of burning oil was the first symptom. Followed shortly by seeing oil puddling under the vehicle.

The contact owns a 2015 Chrysler Town And Country Touring. The contact stated that on several occasions while parked and turned off, the tailgate button was depressed from inside of the vehicle, and the tailgate closed inadvertently. On one occasion while parked with the tailgate opened, the hatchback closed on her head and would release. The contact sustained a head injury. Medical attention was not needed. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 110,000.

The engine developed a ticking noise. From what I have found, there are defective rocker arms in the engine. Eventually, they will fail and cause complete engine failure which can occur at any time, even when driving at high speeds. This seems to be a serious safety concern. There is a class action lawsuit working its way through the courts, but, there should be a safety recall. thanks [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

OIL HOUSING HAS BEEN REPLACED 4 TIMES. SINCE 64K MILES, NOW AT 112K. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL. THERE ARE SO MANY SIMILAR OCCURANCES. THIS IS A HUGE FIRE HAZZARD.

Noticed the vehicle was leaking fluid. The vehicle temperature GAUGE was also running HOT. Went to a garage on 9 18 2024 and was told the 2 transmission hose lines were leaking and needed replacing. Was a significant leak. Was not able to use the vehicle due to HOT temperature gauge and only able to drive the vehicle a short distance and leaking fluids. Had to have both transmission hoses replaced at about 84500 miles. (SEE DIFFERENT complaint, that 1 - 2 months later, on 12 5 2024 had to go to a garage and have the OIL FILTER HOUSING replaced due to another leak and replace all related fluids).

Went to garage for vehicle to pass routine inspection. However, the OIL FILTER HOUSING was leaking quite a bit. Due to the size of the leak, I had to pay to replace the oil filter housing and the related fluids. This was about a 3 hours repair. I could not drive the vehicle until the part was replaced. This part failing and leaking at about 85,800 miles seems to have been premature. The garage staff told me the vehicle could not pass inspection until the part was replaced. It seems as if the part has had issues and the newer components may be more durable.

Two blocks from home my Pentastar oil filter housing & cooler line broke and there was oil all over and the car stalled just before my driveway. Could not start it and had a towing company take to Meekhof Tire & Service where I have my work done. Safety was ok. No inspected other than Meekhof checking to see what was wrong. There were no warning lights on dash. Chrysler has known about this problem for a long time and never did a recall. So I had to get a used 3.6lV6 engine.
