2012 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY Complaints

CHRYSLER IS HIDING A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THEIR TRANSMISSION TO ENGINE SOFTWARE. THE VAN IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE WHEN IT HESITATES AND AND THEN JOLTS FORWARD. THIS OCCURS BOTH WHEN THE CAR IS AT A DEAD STOP OR WHEN CHANGING LANES IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. THE ENGINE JUMPS TO HIGH RPM WHEN YOU GIVE IT A LITTLE GAS, BUT THEN IT DOES NOT SHIFT TO THE PROPER GEAR UNLESS YOU LET OFF OF THE GAS PEDAL COMPLETELY. I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM WITH THE DEALERSHIPS FOR 3 YEARS. I THINK THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM BECAUSE CHRYSLER DOESN'T KNOW. THE LURCHING FORWARD AND HESITATION BETWEEN THE TRANSMISSION.AND ENGINE RPM IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM!!!!!!.

SINCE THEN I HAVE CALLED DEMONTROND ON 09 JANUARY 2015, 24 AUGUST 2015 AND 14 MARCH 2016 TO EXPEDITE, AND EACH TIME I'M TOLD CHRYSLER HAVEN'T SHIPPED THE REPLACEMENT SWITCH TO THEM! THIS IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH!

DRIVING ON 15 FEB. STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN ABOUT TO CROSS 4 LANE ROAD. CAR SHUT OFF AS I HIT THE GAS TO CROSS THE ROAD. CAR COULD NOT BE RESTARTED. HAD TO PUSH VEHICLE TO A SAFE STOPPING PLACE. DIAGNOSED AS PCM FAILURE. ITEM WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. SINCE FAILURE, CONTINUE TO HAVE STARTING PROBLEM AND PERPETUAL WARNING LIGHT THAT SMART BEAM HEADLIGHT SENSOR FOR THE AUTOMATIC HIGH BEAMS IS OUT OF ALIGNMENT. CHRYSLER STATED THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE STARTING ISSUES SO NOTHING THEY CAN DO AND THAT THE SENSOR WARNING IS NOT ASSOCIATED AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED OUT OF POCKET.

BLIND SPOT SAFETY INDICATORS LOCATED IN THE SIDE MIRRORS INTERMITTENTLY ACTIVATE AND STAY ON. THE INDICATORS IN THE SIDE MIRRORS AND ACTIVATION PING ARE A DISTRACTION AND ANNOYING WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT. THIS HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY WHEN STATIONARY AND IN MOTION. ALSO HAVE RECEIVED THE REAR VENT SWITCH RECALL WELL OVER A YEAR AGO AND HAD IT DISCONNECTED AT A DEALERSHIP. I WAS TOLD I WOULD BE PUT ON THE LIST AND NOTIFIED WHEN THEY RECEIVED A REPLACEMENT SWITCH. I HAVE YET TO BE CALLED. I DID HOWEVER RECEIVE A SECOND RECALL NOTICE, MADE A RETURN TRIP TO A DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THE SAME THING AS BEFORE. BOTH OF THESE PROBLEMS APPEAR TO BE A COMMON DEFECT. I WOULD HOPE CHRYSLER COULD CORRECT THESE PROBLEMS IN A TIMELY FASHION AND AT NO EXPENSE TO THE OWNER. THIS IS MY 3RD DODGE/CHRYSLER VAN I HAVE OWNED. I CONSIDER MYSELF A LOYAL CUSTOMER AND HAVE BEEN VERY SATISFIED WITH MY TWO PREVIOUS VANS. I WISH I COULD SAY THE SAME ABOUT THIS ONE.
