2010 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY Complaints

TIPM HAS GONE BAD. THE HORN STARTED BEEPING ON ITS OWN, THEN MY HEADLIGHTS AND STOPPED WORKING WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT,NOTHING ELSE YET.

THE ENGINE OF MY 2010 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY SHUT OFF WHILE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY AT A SPEED OF APPROXIMATELY 60MPH. IT HAS HAPPENED TWO OTHER TIMES AT LOWER SPEEDS WHILE IN TOWN. THE ISSUE LEFT ME AND MY FAMILY IN DANGER OF A HIGHWAY COLLISION. THIS PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH SPONTANEOUSLY DROPPING INTO ACCESSORY MODE WHICH MATCHES A RECALL FOR THE SAME ISSUE IN OTHER TOWN AND COUNTRY'S VERY CLOSE TO THE DATE OF MANUFACTURE OF MINE. THAT RECALL WAS 14V373. MY VAN WAS MANUFACTURED FOUR MONTHS AFTER THE RECALL WINDOW RELATING TO THE IGNITION SWITCH ISSUE WHICH SUBSEQUENTLY DISABLES THE AIRBAGS AND OTHER SAFETY EQUIPMENT. THE SPECIFIC PART THAT WAS THE ISSUE IN 14V373 AND WHAT I BELIEVE TO BE THE ISSUE HERE IS THE WIN MODULE.

LOW TIRE PRESSURE ALARM INITIATED AT INTERSTATE HIGHWAY SPEED, ROUGHLY 70MPH STRAIGHT LINE TRAVEL. PULLED OVER AND DISCOVERED THE METAL VALVE STEM HAD CRACKED JUST BELOW THE PLASTIC CAP AND HAD LEAKED ABOUT 6-8PSI OUT OF 36. CONTACT WITH THE TIP CAUSED IT TO CRACK OFF COMPLETELY CAUSING RAPID DEFLATION OF THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR TIRE. WOULD HAVE CAUSED SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE POSSIBLE ACCIDENT IF VEHICLE HAD STILL BEEN MOVING OR IF RESPONSE TO TIRE PRESSURE WARNING WAS DELAYED. HIGH HAZARD FAILURE. THIS IS THE SECOND VALVE STEM FAILURE FOR THIS VEHICLE, BUT THE FIRST WAS A CORROSION LEAK AROUND THE BASE WHICH WAS MUCH SLOWER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE STEERING AND BRAKES FAILED. THE VEHICLE RESTARTED AFTER ONE ATTEMPT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (KEN NELSON LOCATED ON 1100 N GALENA AVE, DIXON, IL 61021), BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE DEALER CONFIRMED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V373000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, AIR BAGS). THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE, BUT DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE AND VIN WERE UNKNOWN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE REMAINED PARKED DUE TO THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO WAS UNABLE TO REPLICATE AND DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER ADVISED THAT THE VEHICLE BE TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR INSPECTION AND DIAGNOSIS TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 11V139000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE MANUFACTURER PROVIDED NO RECOMMENDED SOLUTION. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

2010 CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY COMPLETELY SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING, RPMS DROPPED BELOW 1 AND POWER STEERING COMPLETELY GONE. TOOK CAR TO MY MECHANIC WAS TOLD WIN MODULE, TOWED CAR TO LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER AND PAID DIAGNOSTIC FEE AFTER BEING TOLD THAT RECALL HAD ALREADY BEEN COMPLETED, ONLY TO BE TOLD BY DEALER THAT FUEL PUMP BAD AND BATTERY NEEDS TO BE CHARGED. I AM DOUBTING THE FUEL PUMP WOULD CAUSE CAR TO COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE AND COULD HAVE BEEN POTENTIALLY FATAL AS I HAD MY YOUNG CHILDREN IN THE CAR AND WAS SECONDS AWAY FROM HEADING OVER A BIG BRIDGE.

WINDOWS ON BOTH DRIVERS SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE, THROUGHOUT THE VEHICLE WILL CEASE TO FUNCTION. THE SIDE MIRRORS WILL ALSO NOT FUNCTION. WHEN YOU TRY, THEY DON'T WORK AND ALSO LIGHT UP THE DASH BOARD LIGHTS ( LOW TIRE, CHECK ENGINE, ETC. ALL IDIOT LIGHTS. THIS CAN ALL BE GOING ON IN ALL MODES. PARKED DRIVING DAY OR NIGHT. IT ALL STARTED ON THE DATE BELOW. IT STILL EXISTS TO THIS DAY

KEY FOB WILL NOT UNLOCK OR OPEN DOORS. HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM SINCE VAN WAS PURCHASED. WE HAVE 2 KEY FOBS AND NEITHER WORKS. WAS IN DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES UNDER WARRANTY BUT PROBLEM WAS NEVER REMEDIED.. THEY NOW WANT $450.00 TO REPLACE THE KEY FOBS THAT CHRYSLER TECHNICIANS COULD NOT FIX UNDER WARRANTY. CHRYSLER'S KEY FOB NOT WORKING WOULD HAVE TO BE A PROBLEM COVERING A LARGE NUMBER OF VEHICLES OVER A MULTITUDE OF YEARS .. TRYING TO UNLOCK THE DOORS IN A DARK PARKING LOT AND THEIR NOT UNLOCKING OR OPENING IS VERY A DANGEROUS AND STRESSFUL SITUATION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. WHILE DRIVING, THE HEADLIGHTS FAILED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT NOTIFIED THE DEALER (GULF CHRYSLER, (251) 662-9586), BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND ADVISED THE CONTACT TO CALL NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 131,000.

AT A SLOW SPEED OF ABOUT 5 TO 10 MPH, MY VEHICLE WOULD SHUT OFF LEAVING ME WITH NO POWER BRAKES, POWER STEERING, AND IN THE PATH OF CARS BEHIND ME ALMOST HITTING ME AS WELL. IT ALWAYS HAPPENS WHEN I AM TURNING LEFT OR RIGHT AT A SLOW SPEED. I HAVE HAD THE WIRELESS IGNITION CONTROL MODULE, BATTERY, AND KEY FOB REPLACED ALREADY BY THE DEALER.
