2014 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY Complaints

MISFIRE CYLINDER #6. CODE 306 . WHILE IN IDLE. COIL AND SPARKS REPLACED MISFIRE CONTINUED. INJECTORS CHECKED, LEAK TEST DONE, AND COMPRESSION GOOD ON ALL CYLINDERS BUT PROBLEM PERSISTS. THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL FOR SAME ISSUE ON 2011 THROUGH 2013 MODELS. BUT NOT 2014.

I WAS GETTING IN MY CAR IN THE GARAGE OF MY HOME WHEN MY ACTIVE HEADREST DEPLOYED. I WASN'T INJURED BUT I WAS CERTAINLY STARTLED AND NOW AM UNSURE WHAT TO DO. THE HEADREST CANNOT BE RESET; THERE ARE BROKEN PIECES WHICH HAVE FALLEN DOWN INSIDE THE PLASTIC CASING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD A BANG COMING FROM THE VEHICLE, BUT CONTINUED TO KEEP DRIVING. UPON REACHING HIS DESTINATION, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT A PIECE OF PANELING FROM THE LEFT PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR HAD COME OFF OF THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT DUE TO THE CLIMATE IN WHICH HE LIVES, THE EXTREME HEAT MUST HAVE CAUSED THE PANELING TO MELT. THE MANUFACTURER OFFERED NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO PRESTIGE CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE (6520 CENTENNIAL CENTER BLVD, LAS VEGAS, NV 89149, 702-625-7812) FOR AN UNRELATED MATTER. WHILE THERE, THE CONTACT WAS GIVEN A $200 ESTIMATE FOR REPAIRING THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 52,000.

SLIDING DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR IS POORLY DESIGNED. THE MOTOR IS CHEAPLY MADE AND HAS BURNT OUT TWICE IN THE PAST YEAR ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE SLIDING DOOR. WHEN THE MOTOR IN THE ACTUATOR BURNS OUT IT CAUSES THE DOOR TO SEIZE WITHOUT WARNING AND YOU CAN NO LONGER OPEN THE DOOR. THIS HAPPENED WITHOUT WARNING WHEN WE NEEDED TO GET OUR YOUNG CHILD OUT OF THE VEHICLE IN A HURRY AND COULD NOT OPEN THE DOOR. WE HAD TO HAVE A BODY SHOP MAKE THE REPAIR TO EVEN OPEN THE DOOR ON EACH OCCASION AS THE DOOR LOCK SEIZES AND YOU CANNOT UNLOCK IT MANUALLY OR OPERATE HANDLE. UPON DISCOVERY OF THE ISSUE WE LOOKED ONLINE ONLY TO DISCOVER FORUMNS OF MANY TOWN AND COUNTRY OWNERS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IN AN EMERGENCY OR COLLISION THE DOOR WILL NOT BE ABLE TO OPEN AND THUS PASSENGERS BECOME STUCK INSIDE THE VEHICLE.

PASSENGER SIDE SLIDING DOOR DOOR WILL OPEN AND CLOSE NORMALLY BUT WHEN IT GETS HOT OUTSIDE THE DOOR WILL NOT LATCH WHEN IT CLOSES. DOOR SOUNDS LIKE IT IS CONSTANTLY TRYING TO LATCH SHUT. IT WILL CONTINUE TO DO THIS WHILE DRIVING AND RANDOMLY START AND STOP AGAIN.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR FAILED TO GO IN MOTION. THE TRANSMISSION NO LONGER MOVED THE VEHICLE. WE WERE ON A STREET. IT STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROADWAY. TRANSMISSION FRONT PUMP AND TORQUE CONVERTER FAILED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED INCLUDING THE CLUTCH PACK.

SUSPENSION RATTLES, SHOCKS AND STRUTS RATTLE, HAVING TROUBLE STARDING ENGINE ON OFTEN, REMOTE START FAILS WITH NO INDICATION OF LOW BATTERY, ENGINE STALLS BEFORE STARTING. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON, AIRBAG LIGHT ON.

I LEFT A HOUSE AND TURNED ON TO THE MAIN ROAD. CAME TO A STOP LIGHT. IT TURNED GREEN AND I STARTED TO GO BUT COULD NOT GET OVER 20 MPH. THEN IT WENT OUT OF GEAR AND THE RPMS WENT UP TO 7000. THE VEHICLE ROLLED TO A STOP. SAT FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES THEN IT MOVED AGAIN BUT NOT FAR ABOUT 20 FEET. CALLED AND HAD A TOW TRUCK COME OUT AND TAKE IT TO A SHOP. WAS TOLD THE TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REPLACED. CALLED CHRYSLER HEADQUARTERS ABOUT THE PROBLEM. THEY SAID THEY HAVE HAD NO PROBLEMS AND THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING. HAD THE VEHICLE TAKEN TO A CHRYSLER DEALER AND THEY CHECKED THE TRANSMISSION AND SAID THE PUMP IS NOT WORKING ALONG WITH SOME OTHER PARTS THAT CAME OFF.. NOW IT GOING TO COST BETWEEN $3000 TO $4000 TO FIX THE VAN.

TWICE THIS YEAR, AIR BAG INDICATOR ILLUMINATED ON DASHBOARD. IN JANUARY, THE PASSENGER SIDE SEATBELT ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. NOW IN SEPT, THE AIRBAG INDICATOR CAME ON AGAIN. THIS TIME THE SEATBELT AND WIRING ASSEMBLY NEEDS REPLACED ON THE DRIVER SIDE. THE REPAIRS TO THESE SAFETY FEATURES ARE COSTING >$1200 THIS YEAR. THE VEHICLE IS 5 YEARS OLD.

WHILE DRIVING THE VAN IT COMPLETLY DIES NO READINGS ON DADH AND THE STEERING QUITS AND THE BRAKES FAIL I ALMOST CRASHED INTTO A TREE AND A 2ND TIME I ALMOST CAUSED A 3 CAR PILE UP ON A HIGHWAY CHRYSLER CLAIMS THEY CANT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM MANY OTHER DRIVERS ARE HAVING THE SAME SAFETY PROBLEMS WHILE DRIVING WITHFAMY MEMBERS AND THEYRE AFRAID OF DYING OR KILLING OTHERS
