2014 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY Complaints

ABOUT JANUARY 15, 2019 WE NOTICED A RATTLING SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT ON THE RIGHT OR PASSENGER SIDE. THE RATTLING WAS ONLY NOTICEABLE IF YOU WERE STANDING NEXT TO THE VAN WHEN IT WAS IDLING. THE RATTLING HAS GOTTEN WORSE SO WE TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER & FOUND OUT WE NEED TO REPLACE 4 CAMSHAFTS & 24 ROCKER ARMS TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THIS HAS BEEN A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS ENGINE. MOSTLY AFTER 120,000. MILES. OUR VAN ONLY HAS 94,855 MILES. STILL UNDER THE 100,000 MILE WARRANTY BUT 10 MONTHS PAST THE 5 YEAR WARRANTY. THE DEALER & CHRYSLER SCA TOLD ME THEY WON'T FIX IT UNDER WARRANTY. THIS SHOULD BE REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY SINCE WE ARE UNDER THE 100,000. MILES. THE DEALER TOLD ME IF THERE WERE ENOUGH COMPLAINTS THAT MIGHT BE ENOUGH TO START A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE. THERE IS DEFINITELY A MANUFACTURING DEFECT FOR THIS TO HAPPEN. TODAY'S ENGINES SHOULD RUN 500,000. MILES MINIMUM BEFORE HAVING TO DO MAJOR WORK TO THE ENGINE.

CAR PARKED AND OFF IN DRIVEWAY. AFTER EXITING VEHICLE BUT BEFORE CLOSING DOOR, DRIVERS HEADREST POPPED AND FRONT SECTION SEPARATED FROM REAR SECTION ON RIGHT SIDE. VISUAL INDICATION OF PLASTIC BRACKET SHEARED. NO POWER ON VEHICLE. UPON TESTING IGNITION ASSOCIATED AIRBAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED INDICATING FAILURE OF AIRBAGS OR AHR. NO COLLISIONS IN VEHICLE HISTORY OR ASSOCIATED WITH EVENT. NO DEPLOYMENT OF PASSENGER AHR.

NUMBER ONE THE ENGINE HAS BEEN REBUILT TWICE BECAUSE OF ENGINE MISFIRE. ALSO THE GAS PEDAL SOMETIMES GETS STUCK WHICH IS DANGEROUS . AND NOW THE AIR BAG SENSOR HAS BEEN ON AND THERE IS NO REASON FOR IT TO BE ON. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH AND THERE ARE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS WITH THIS MODEL OF VEHICLE IN REGARDS TO THE AIR BAG SENSOR. IT IS THE FRONT AIR BAG SENSOR THAT IS ON. I NEED THIS REPAIRED . IT IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AS I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF THE AIR BAG WILL WORK CORRECTLY

DEFOGGER INEFFICIENT AND UNSAFE WHEN RAINING IN SUMMER CAUSED BY KNOWN PROBLEM WITH A/C HEAT BLEND DOOR STICKING. AC ON ONE SIDE HIGH HEAT ON OTHER..CONDENSATION FORMS ON INSIDE WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY. FCA FIXING FOR FREE ON SOME 2014 -2105 MODELS BUT NOT ALL EVEN THOUGH SAME ISSUE REPORTED AND SAME PARTS (IDENTICAL PART NUMBERS) INVOLVED ON SAME VEHICLE IN SAME TIME FRAME.

WHILE MY WIFE AND CHILDREN WERE MAKING A LEFT-HAND TURN IN THE FAR LEFT LANE THE VAN COMPLETELY WENT DEAD. THEY LOST ALL POWER TO THE ENGINE, LOST ALL POWER STEERING, LOST ALL ABILITY TO ACCELERATE, AND LOST ALL ABILITY TO BREAK. THE CAR TRAVELED ACROSS BOTH LANES AND LUCKILY INTO A SHOPPING CENTER TURN LANE, WHERE THEY APPLIED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO COME TO A STOP. LANDSCAPERS SAW WHAT HAPPENED AND WERE ABLE TO PUSH THE CAR INTO THE PARKING LOT. THE DASHBOARD STAYED LIT AND THE AC FAN CONTINUED TO BLOW. IT'S ALMOST AS IF THE BATTERY WAS STILL ON, BUT THEY HAD NO MECHANICAL FUNCTIONS. WE HAD THE VAN TAKEN TO TEQUESTA TIRE CO WHERE THEY DID A FULL INSPECTION. AFTER A FULL INSPECTION, THEY DETERMINED THE PROBLEM TO BE A POSSIBLE "FLUKE". AFTER ADDITIONAL RESEARCH ONLINE, THIS APPEARS TO BE A WIDER ISSUE WITH OTHER T&C OWNERS. OTHER OWNERS SAY THEY HAVE NOT FOUND THE CAUSE OF THE ISSUE AND SPEND A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF MONEY WITH NO RESOLUTION OR CAUSE.

DRIVER SIDE SLIDING DOOR WILL NOT OPEN FROM INSIDE OR OUT. JUST STOPPED WORKING ON ITS OWN. AUTOMATIC BUTTON WON'T OPEN IT FROM DRIVERS DOOR OR FROM BUTTONS ON REMOTE.

DRIVING ON INTERSTATE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST ALL POWER, LIGHTING FOR GAUGES, RADIO, ODOMETER, SPEEDOMETER, ETC, SLOWED TO AROUND 20 MPH (70 MPH ZONE) ENGINE BEGAN SMOKING. WAS ABLE TO EXIT AND ROLLED ONTO SIDE STREET. SMOKE EMANATING FROM UNDER HOOD. ENGINE WOULD NOT RESTART. VEHICLE INSPECTED BY MECHANIC WHO CONCLUDED: ENGINE BLOWN. VEHICLE PURCHASED USED ONLY 4 MONTHS PRIOR. OIL CHANGED AND FLUSH AND FILL PERFORMED BY CERTIFIED MECHANIC 1 MONTH AGO.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE AUTOMATIC PASSENGER DOOR OPENED WITHOUT WARNING INTERMITTENTLY. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 94,000.

TAKATA RECALL. .ON 04/03/2019 APPROXIMATELY 3:45 PM I WAS ON A CITY RESIDENTIAL STREET MOVING AT 30 MPH. I WAS COMING UP TO A STOP SIGN GOING DOWNHILL AND I PRESSED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND IT WENT TO THE FLOOR. I PRESSED AGAIN AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED I PUMPED THEM SEVERAL TIMES AND NOTHING. I WENT THRU THE STOP STREET AND ANOTHER CITY BLOCK AT A DEAD END I HIT A GUARD RAIL HEAD-ON AND TORE IT COMPLETELY OUT. I WENT 100 FEET INTO A WOODED AREA AND TORE OUT MANY TREES ABOUT 1 - 2 INCHES IN DIAMETER. I CAME TO AND ABRUPT STOP AGAINST FOUR TREES ABOUT 3-5 INCHES IN DIAMETER. NONE OF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AND THE SEAT BELTS DID NOT LOCK.. I AM A RETIRED POLICE OFFICER SO I PAID ATTENTION TO WHAT WAS HAPPENING. I CALLED 911 AND GOT THE POLICE ON THE WAY. REPORT # [XXX]. WHILE I WAS WAITING I TRIED THE BRAKES AGAIN AND AFTER TWO PUMPS THEY WORKED. BY THE WAY THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING. I THEN PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND PUSHED DOWN SLOWLY AND IT WENT TO THE FLOOR AGAIN. I HAD A SCOOTER AND LIFT ON THE BACK AND IT HAD COME THRU THE BACK WINDOW FROM THE SUDDEN STOP AGAINST THE TREES. I HAD JUST PURCHASED THIS FROM WOLFCHASE HYUNDAI IN MEMPHIS TN. ON 01/21/2019 AND HAD EXAMINED IT AS THOROUGHLY I AS COULD AND HAD A CARFAX REPORT THAT SAID NO ACCIDENTS. WHEN I REPORTED THE ACCIDENT TO STATE FARM INSURANCE THEY SAID IN MAY OF 2017 IT WAS IN A BAD ACCIDENT IN MO AND THAT THE GRILL, BUMPER, LEFT HEADLIGHT FENDER AND DOOR WERE ALL REPLACED. AND NO AIRBAG DEPLOYED.. I HAVE PICTURES ON MY DAUGHTERS IPHONE BUT NOT MINE. I WOULD LIKE YOU TO HAVE THEM. PLEASE ADVISE HOW I CAN GET THEM TO YOU. MY VEHICLE IS SITTING AT PAINT AND BODY PERFECTORS IN NASHVILLE TN. THE GRILL, HOOD, BOTH FENDERS, BOTH HEADLIGHTS, DRIVERS DOOR, PASSENGER DOOR, BACK GLASS, ,TRANSMISSION CASE, AXLE, RIGHT FRONT WHEEL AND TIRE ALL DESTROYED. I TRULY BELIEVE THERE IS SOMETHING BAD WRONG WITH THIS VAN.*DT INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TT CONSUMER STATED THERE WERE TWO CODES. B210A LO

WHILE IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET, MY INSTRUMENT CLUSTER PANEL LIT UP, WINDSHIELD WIPERS TURNED ON AND COULDN'T BE TURNED OFF, TURN SIGNALS STOPPED WORKING, AS WELL AS THE SPEEDOMETER, ODOMETER, TEMPERATURE GADGE, RADIO, AND HEATING/COOLING SYSTEM. THE VEHICLE STILL DRIVES, BUT IS NOT SAFE TO BE ON THE ROAD DUE TO NO SPEEDOMETER AND TURN SIGNALS. ALSO, MY DRIVER SIDE WINDOW WAS ROLLED DOWN AND IS NOW STUCK IN THE DOWNWARD POSITION
