2016 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY Complaints

BOTH SLIDING DOORS WOULD NOT OPEN. THEY FOUND THAT THE LEFT SIDE ACTUATOR WAS JAMMED AND THE RIGHT SIDE WAS GRINDING. THE DOORS WOULD NOT OPEN AT ALL - NOT EVEN MANUALLY. THIS WAS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. NO ONE COULD GET OUT OF THE VAN WITHOUT CLIMBING ONTO THE FRONT OR OUT THE BACK HATCH. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR AND LOST POWER DUE TO TRANSMISSION NOT SHIFTING OR SHIFTING HARD. ENGINE WILL REV UP TO 4K RPMS BEFORE IT SHIFTS INTO GEAR. THE CAR DOES IT FROM A STAND STILL POSITION TO A MOVING STATE. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF IT IS CITY STREET OR HIGHWAY. I HAVE BEEN READING ABOUT A LOT OF THESE ISSUES. *TR

WHILE AT A RED LIGHT VEHICLE BEGAN RUNNING ROUGH AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON DROPPED OFF AT ARIGO DODGE WEST PALM BEACH WAS TOLD MY MOTOR HAS MISFIRE ON #. 4 DEALER SHIP SAID IT HAS A CRACKED HEAD . THE VEHICLE HAS 98,000 MILES OUT OF WARRANTY NO COVERAGE OR PROGRAMS. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY CARE WHEN THE VEHICLE STOPPED MOVING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. THE CAR WOULD EITHER NOT GO INTO GEAR OR WHEN IT WOULD IT WOULD SHIFT EXTREMELY HARD. SOMETIMES THE CAR WOULD REV TO 3-4 RPMS BUT WOULD NOT GO ANYWHERE WHILE OTHER TIMES THE CAR WOULD BE DRIVING AND THEN RPM VERY LOW, VERY SUDDENLY. ALTHOUGH MY CAR IS NOT SHOWING A SPECIFIC RECALL WHEN A VIN SEARCH IS COMPLETED, I DID FIND A LARGE AMOUNT OF COMPLAINTS WHICH WERE VERY SIMILAR TO MINE AND THOSE VEHICLES WERE SAME MAKE AND YEAR.

TL* THE CONTACT CALLED ON BEHALF OF HER MOTHER WHO OWNS A 2016 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR PASSENGER'S SIDE DOOR SLID OPEN WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AUTO LOCK FEATURE ON DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE WAS INOPERABLE. ADDITIONALLY, THE DRIVER'S SIDE SLIDING DOOR WAS ALSO INOPERABLE. LARRY H. MILLER DODGE RAM OF PEORIA LOCATED AT (8665 W BELL RD, PEORIA, AZ 85382, (480)865-3986, INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE SHOULD BE DIAGNOSED AS TO THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE.

THE TRANSMISSION STOPPED WORKING WHILE DRIVING AND IN MOTION. I WAS UNABLE TO MOVE AWAY FROM ONCOMING CARS BECAUSE I HAD NO PROPULSION. I WAS IN A STREET TURNING LEFT AND ONCOMING TRAFFIC WAS COMING DOWN THE HILL.

AS OTHERS HAVE DESCRIBED, I AM GOING THROUGH THE SAME ISSUE WITH MY VEHICLE. I WAS DRIVING WITH MY FAMILY TO DINNER ABOUT AN HOUR AWAY AND AS SOON AS WE GOT OFF THE HIGHWAY THE CAR SHUT DOWN AS I WENT TO BREAK. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY SCANNED THE CAR AND THE CODE CAME UP AS PUMP FAILURE IN THE TRANSMISSION. THE DEALERSHIP AND THE MANUFACTURER HAVE BOTH TOLD ME THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE. YET EVERY ONE IN THIS COMPLAINT FORUM FOR THIS SPECIFIC VEHICLE HAVE SAID THEY HAVE LOOKED ONLINE TO CHECK FOR RECALLS AND ONE OF THE RECALLS FOR THE 2016 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY IS A TRANSMISSION PUMP FAILURE. ARE OTHER WEBSITES THAT RUN VIN CHECKS GIVING OUT MISLEADING INFORMATION OR IS IT THAT MULTIPLE PEOPLE WITH THIS VEHICLE ARE ALL HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH THERE CAR STALLING OUT AND LOSING MOTIVE POWER. THE NHTSA SHOULD BE TAKING THIS MATTER SERIOUSLY. YOU SAY RIGHT ON YOUR WEBSITE THAT THIS STUFF FUELS YOU. START FUELING AWAY UNTIL SOME ONE GETS INJURED OR DIES BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. CHECK OUT VEHICLEHISTORY.COM THIS YEAR MODEL AND MAKE. IT SHOWS IT RIGHT ON THERE THE RECALL THAT EVERY ONE OF US SEEMS TO BE HAVING IN THIS COMPLAINT FORUM. YET NO ONE CAN FIND A HISTORY OF THE RECALL. TRANSMISSION PUMP. LOSS OF MOTIVE POWER. ITS RIGHT THERE. IS THE WEBSITE LYING? WHY WAS 20,000+ CARS AFFECTED? WHERE ARE THE ANSWERS WE ARE LOOKING FOR?

WHEN I REACH 40-50 MPH MY CAR WILL NOT SHIFT AND IT SOUNDS LIKE I AM RUNNING OVER RIDGES IN THE ROAD. TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID I NEED TO REBUILD MY TRANSMISSION BECAUSE OF THE TORQUE CONVERTER. IT WAS NOT THROWING OUT A CODE AT ALL. QUOTED ME $2,600.
