2014 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY Complaints

THE VAN SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING, TONIGHT I WAS TRAVELING AND AS I STARTED DE ACCELERATION FOR A STOP LIGHT THE VAN SHUT OFF AND I LOST POWER STEERING AND BREAKS. THISNCOUKDVE BEEN VERY BAD ESPECIALLY IF I HAD MY KIDS IN THE CAR.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE DASHBOARD LIT UP LIKE A CHRISTMAS TREE AND THE ENGINE COMPLETELY SHUT OFF LOCKING THE WHEEL. AFTER TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG. ABOUT A MONTH LATER WE WERE DRIVING HOME FROM A SOCCER GAME AND THE CAR CAME OUT OF GEAR WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 70 MPH. THE RPM SHOT UP AND I WAS UNABLE TO DRIVE OVER 40 MPH. WE ENDED UP STAYING THE NIGHT AND HAVING THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY REPLACED THE SENSOR SOLENOID PAC. 6 MONTHS LATER I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM A SOCCER TOURNAMENT AND THE SAME EXACT THING HAPPENED AGAIN HOWEVER I HAD SLOWED THE VEHICLE DOWN DRIVING THROUGH A RESIDENTIAL AREA AND WENT TO SPEED UP AFTER RE-ENTERING THE HIGHWAY. THE RPM'S WERE AT 4 TO 5 GOING 30 MPH. I PULLED OVER TURNED OFF THE CAR AND LET IT SIT FOR 5 MINUTES. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE NORMALLY AFTER THAT , THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THERE IS NOTHING THE COULD DO. STORED CODES ECU: ABS DTC: C212A16 DESCRIPTION: STORED- SYSTEM VOLTAGE-CIRCUIT VOLTAGE BELOW THRESHOLD; ECU: PCM DTC: P075A DESCRIPTION: LC SOLENOID CIRCUIT ECU: DMFL/DMFR DTC: B21A1 DESCRIPTION: STORED- ECU RESET/RECOVERY OCCURRED. I HAVE 71,000 MILES ON THE ENGINE AND IT'S UNDER WARRANTY FOR 13 MONTHS MORE OR 28,000 MILES. PLEASE HELP!

THE CABLE ON THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW KEEPS BREAKING. IT'S BEEN REPLACED TWICE. THE FIRST TIME THE WINDOW FELL AND BUSTED IN THE DOOR. THE 2ND TIME IT DID NOT BREAK BUT I HEARD THE CABLE SNAP IN THE DOOR.

MY 2014 T&C HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE TPMS. IT SHOWS THAT I HAVE LOW PRESSURE ALL THE TIME. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS (P63 NHTSA 14V-632) BUT THE DEALER SAYS MY VIN IS NOT COVERED. I HAVE THE EXACT PROBLEM AND MODEL YEAR SO COME ON.

WE OWN A 2014 TOWN AND COUNTRY WITH A 3.6L V6 ENGINE, AND 94,500 MILES. STILL WITHIN THE ENGINE/POWER TRAIN 100,000 MILES GUARANTEE. OUR CAR LEAKS MOTOR OIL PROFUSELY GIVEN CRACKS IN THE ENGINE OIL COOLER. CHRYSLER'S REPLACEMENT PART NUMBER IS: 68105583AF. DOCUMENTED OIL LOSS PROBLEMS APPEARED INTO MULTIPLE MODELS USING THE 3.6L ENGINE DODGE: - AVENGER ' CARAVAN ' DURANGO -CHALLENGER. JEEP: - WRANGLER AND GRAND CHEROKEE, AMONG OTHERS. FIAT CHRYSLER MANUFACTURED THE OIL FILTER HOUSING OUT OF PLASTIC TO SAVE COSTS. COMMON SENSE MANDATES THAT NOTHING ATTACHED TO THE ENGINE SHOULD BE MADE FROM PLASTIC. THEIR ENGINEERING TEAM INCURRED INTO POOR MANUFACTURING DECISIONS. THEY SHOULD RATHER USE METAL FOR ENGINE'S PARTS EXPOSED TO TORQUE, HEAT AND EXPANSION. GIVEN MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS, FIAT CHRYSLER FINALLY DISCONTINUED THE ORIGINAL PARTS NUMBERS 68105588 (THE ONE PROVIDED WITH OUR UNIT). FAIR IS TO SAY THAT THE NEW REPLACEMENTS ARE STILL MADE FROM PLASTIC. THESE DEFECTIVE PARTS ORIGINATED OIL LEAKS AND ENGINE OVERHEATING. INVOLVING SUBSTANTIAL RISKS OF ENGINE FAILURE, EXPENSIVE REPAIRS AND FIRE HAZARDS. CHRYSLER KNEW THEY HAD A PROBLEM BUT DECIDED NOT TO RECALL DEFECTIVE UNITS AND RATHER DEALING WITH CUSTOMERS ON A CASE-BY-CASE BASIS. CHRYSLER'S DEALERS WANT TO CHARGE $150 FOR INSPECTION, AND $780 FOR PARTS AND LABOR FOR REPLACEMENT. WE CALLED CORPORATE CUSTOMER SERVICE ON 1/21/2019, BUT FIAT CHRYSLER REFUSED TO AID ARGUING THAT THE 5-YEAR GUARANTEE PERIOD HAD EXPIRED. THEY ALSO REFUSED ANY GUARANTEE PERIOD EXTENSION. IT IS UNFAIR THAT THE PUBLIC MUST BEAR REPLACEMENT COST FOR POORLY MANUFACTURED PARTS. CHRYSLER SHOULD ASSUME FULL OWNERSHIP FOR MISTAKES AND RECALL DEFECTIVE UNITS, OR EXTEND THE PROTECTION GUARANTEE PERIOD FOR DEFECTIVE PARTS.

EXACTLY ONE YEAR AGO MY VAN (72,000 MILES) STARTED MISFIRING / IDLING ROUGH (CODE: P0301), I CHANGED THE COIL AND SPARK PLUG IN CYLINDER 1. THIS DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. A SHORT TIME AFTER THE ENGINE STARTED MAKING A LOUD TICKING NOISE. I STILL HAD MILES LEFT ON MY WARRANTY SO TOOK IT FOR SERVICE. THE DEALER REPLACED BOTH CAM SHAFTS, 12 ROCKER ARMS AND 12 TAPPET-VALVE LASH ON THE BACK SIDE. THIS REPAIRED THE ISSUE UNTIL A COUPLE MONTHS LATER - THE OIL FILTER HOUSING STARTED LEAKING. REPAIRED THAT, ANOTHER HUGE ISSUE. NOW AS OF YESTERDAY, THE VAN IS SHOWING (CODE: P0304) MISFIRING AND IDLING ROUGH. I NOW FEAR THE SAME ISSUE IS BREWING ON THE FRONT SIDE (CYLINDERS 2,4,6).

THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF. NO RHYME OR REASON. MULTIPLE OWNERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. ALSO AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOYED ON ANY ACCIDENT, WE HAVE HAD TWO WHERE WE WERE STRUCK FROM BEHIND AND AIRBAG DIDN'T DEPLOY. CHRYSLER IS FORCING OWNERS TO FIX THIS ISSUE INSTEAD OF DOING A RECALL OR INVESTIGATION. I DON'T FEEL SAFE IN VEHICLE KNOWING THE AIRBAG IS MALFUNCTIONING.

THE OIL FILTER HOUSING IS PLASTIC AND APPEARS TO BE A WEAK PART AND KNOWN ISSUE. MINE BROKE WHICH LEAKED OIL ALL OVER MY ENGINE. I DON'T KNOW WHEN IT BROKE BUT A FOUND OIL IN THE DRIVEWAY.

LEAK IN THE TRANSMISSION LEAK IN THE OIL FILTER ADAPTER HOUSING THIS ADAPTER HOUSING ISSUE IS HAPPENING TO EVERYONE I KNOW OR HAVE READ ABOUT THAT HAS THIS ENGINE IN THEIR CHRYSLER PRODUCT. SOME HAVE DRIPS, AND OTHERS HAVE OIL EVERYWHERE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE WINDSHIELD CRACKED WITHOUT WARNING OR AN IMPACT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 67,000.
