2014 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY Complaints

IN JUNE 2018 WHILE DRIVING THE CHRYSLER VAN ON THE HIGHWAY, THE HEADREST EXPLODED HITTING MY HUSBAND IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD. WE TOOK THE VAN TO HAVE THE HEADREST REPLACED COSTING US $305.60. I SAW ON THE NEWS YESTERDAY THAT A WOMAN HAS STARTED A CLASS ACTION SUIT BECAUSE HER HEADREST EXPLODED ON THE SAME YEAR CHRYSLER VEHICLE. THERE MUST BE A PROBLEM WITH THESE HEADRESTS AND CHRYSLER SHOULD REIMBURSE PEOPLE FOR THE MONEY THEY HAD TO PAY AND ALSO RECALL ALL THE OTHER VEHICLES WITH SIMILAR HEADRESTS BEFORE SOMEONE IS HURT OR KILLED BY THEM. MY HUSBAND SAID IT WAS A HARD HIT TO HIS HEAD WHEN IT EXPLODED LIKE SOMEONE HIT HIM IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD.

THE 'NO FUSE' INDICATOR COMES ON AT RANDOM TIMES. IT MAY STAY ON FOR MONTHS AT A TIME AND SOMETIMES WILL JUST FLUCTUATE BETWEEN THE ODOMETER AND NO FUSE INDICATION. EVERYTHING ELECTRICAL STILL WORKS WHILE THE NO FUSE INDICATION IS ON. THE FUSE HAS BEEN CHANGED TO NO AVAIL. THIS HAPPENS WHETHER THE VEHICLE IS MOVING OR STATIONARY. PRESENTLY IT IS PARKED. WHEN DOOR IS OPENED THE NO FUSE INDICATOR COMES ON. WHILE AT FIRESTONE TODAY GETTING THE TIRES ROTATED, THE SERVICE WRITER SAID HE HAS SEEN THIS ON NUMEROUS TOWN AND COUNTRY VANS.

HEADREST DEPLOYED, CAUSED BY PLASTIC BREAKING THAT HOLDS PIN. VEHICLE WAS PARKED AT DEALERSHIP AWAITING SERVICE.

OIL COOLER OR OIL FILTER HOUSING HAS FAILED EITHER IN MANUFACTURE OR SEALS CAUSING OIL LEAK TO PUDDLE ON TOP OF ENGINE, POSSIBLE FIRE HAZARD

VEHICLE HAS 116,000 MILES ON IT. FIRST TRANSMISSION WENT AT 92,000 MILES. SECOND ONE JUST WENT AT 116,000.

WHEN THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING AND PUT INTO PARK OR HAS BEEN IN PARK IDLING, THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM (AND ENGINE) INTERMITTENTLY (ONCE A MONTH) SHUTS DOWN AND THE VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE RE-STARTED. THE CLIMATE CONTROL FAN LEVEL RESETS TO FULL BLAST, TEMPERATURE SETTING RESETS, AND THE CLOCK RESETS TO 12:00. SO FAR THIS HASN'T HAPPENED WITH THE VEHICLE IN DRIVE.

WHILE I WAS WAITING TO PICK UP SOMEONE ON A SCHOOL PARKING LOT (BEING PARKED, AND ENGINE WAS ON), I SUDDENLY HEARD VERY(!!) LOUD, SEVERAL THUNDER-LIKE OR SHOT-GUN SOUNDS. AS I ROLLED DOWN THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW, I HEARD AGAIN THAT SAME SOUNDS AND THE SOUND IS THEN ACCOMPANIED AS IF A WINDOW WAS GRINDED. THE WINDOW DIDN'T COME UP SO I ASSUMED IT WAS BROKEN INTO PIECES. ACCORDING TO BODY SHOP, THE REGULATOR FOR THE WINDOW IS BROKEN WHILE THE WINDOW GLASS IS PERFECTLY FINE. ALSO, I WAS RECOMMENDED TO TALK TO CHRYSLER REP FOR POSSIBLE RECALL. THE CHRYSLER DEALER SHOP INDICATED THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR MY VAN'S VIN. IT'S SO STRANGE THAT THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS SO I WAS LOOKING AT THIS WEBSITE, AND FOUND THAT THERE WAS A VERY SIMILAR SITUATION LIKE MINE FOR CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY VAN (RECALL # P25). I PAID $360 OUT OF POCKET TO CHANGE A REGULATOR, AND PLEASE INVESTIGATE FURTHER.

OUR VAN DRIVER SIDE SLIDING DOOR WON'T OPEN. YOU CAN'T UNLOCK IT. IT WORKED IN THE MORNING AND THEN WENT TO OPEN IT AGAIN AND WON'T OPEN.

WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT A CONSTANT SPEED AND THEN ACCELERATING THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO ACCELERATE EVEN WHEN THE ACCELERATOR IS RELEASED AND THE BRAKE IS DEPRESSED. AFTER PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL SEVERAL TIMES THE VEHICLE SPEED DECREASES. THE ACCELERATION CONTINUED FROM 10 TO 20 SECONDS DURING THESE TIMES. I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS CONDITION 5 OR 6 TIMES. THE CONDITION INITIALLY OCCURRED IN AUG 2015 AND I TOOK IT TO A DEALER BUT NO CODES WERE FOUND AND THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THE CONDITION OCCURRED AGAIN IN 2018 ON A MORE FREQUENT BASIS (4 OR 5 TIMES). I AGAIN TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER AND THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE. I ALSO TOOK THE THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT SHOP THAT SPECIALIZES IN ELECTRICAL AND DRIVABILITY ISSUES. THEY HAD THE CARS FOR 2 DAYS AND COULD NOT DUPLICATE OR FIND ANYTHING TO INDICATE A PROBLEM. I HAVE A CASE NO. 27622793. WHEN I HEARD OF SIMILAR PROBLEMS AND RECALLS WITH OTHER CHRYSLER VEHICLES IN MAY 2018 I CALLED CHRYSLER AND WAS TOLD THAT A FINAL LIST OF VEHICLES WAS NOT OUT YET AND I WOULD BE NOTIFIED IF AND WHEN MY VEHICLE WAS FOUND TO HAV A PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SLIDING DOORS AND TRUNK RANDOMLY OPENED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.
