2010 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY Complaints

MY CHRYSLER 2010 TOWN AND COUNTRY SHUTDOWN COMPLETELY WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AND ROADS. I TOOK IT TO SOUTHERN CHRYSLER JEEP. THEY REPLACED THE ERG VALVE FOR APPROXIMATELY $600. A WEEK LATER IT SHUTDOWN AGAIN. TOOK IT BACK TO THEM AND THEY COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM THEY GAVE IT BACK SAID DRIVE UNTIL SERVICE LIGHT COMES ON. I DID THAT. THEY SAID THE CODES THAT WERE READ DID NOT CAUSE THE ISSUE. THEY KEPT THE VAN AND GOT GET TO SHUTDOWN ON THEM. NOW THEY SAID THAT IT "MIGHT" BE THE TIPM BOX FOR $1200. REPLACE THE BOX ON A MIGHT. THE SERVICE REP RECOMMENDED THAT I DID NOT GET IT FIX BECAUSE THEY ARE UNSURE THAT THIS IS THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. HE RECOMMENDED THAT I TRADE IT IN AND BUY A CAR. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER CORPORATE OFFICE. ASSIGNED A CASE MANAGER THAT IS UNAVAILABLE UNTIL EVENING TIME WHEN I WORK. THEY WILL NOT ASSIGN ANOTHER CASE MANAGER. I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON WITH MY VAN. SO NOW IT'S PAY$1200 FOR ANOTHER REPAIR THAT MAY NOT FIX THE PROBLEM OR COME GET THE VAN. I'M TRULY SCARED OF WHAT COULD HAPPEN IF I CONTINUE TO DRIVE THIS HAZARDOUS CAR ON THE HIGHWAYS AND ROADS WITHOUT KNOWING EXACTLY WHAT'S WRONG. REPLACED THE TIPM BOX AND SHUTDOWN TWICE.

TIPM WENT BAD ON A VEHICLE WITH 75K MILES, RENDERING THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND POWER DOOR LOCKS UNUSEABLE. ONE REPAIR TO REPLACE "SHORTED OUT" WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR WAS NOT EFFECTIVE.

HEADLIGHTS RANDOMLY WON'T TURN ON, OR WILL FLICKER AND DIE WITH NO WARNING. TOGGLING THE SWITCH DOES NOTHING, I CAN ONLY GET THE FOG LIGHTS TO GIVE ME ANY LIGHT TO SEE BY. INITIAL PROBLEM OCCURRED IN THE DRIVEWAY, CAR WAS STATIONARY. HAVE HAD THEM GO OUT WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS AS WELL.

VEHICLE WILL TURN OFF WHILE DRIVING WITH NO WARNING. HAVE TO PLAY WITH IGNITION SWITCH TO GET VEHICLE TO START BACK UP. DEALER IS SAYING THERE ARE PRESENTLY. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS VEHICLE IS MAINLY DYING ON TURNS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND LOST POWER WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE ISSUE, BUT RESET THE VEHICLE'S COMPUTER. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V373000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, AIR BAGS). THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN A BUSY 5 LANE ROAD AROUND RUSH HOUR WITH MY THREE CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE, THE TOWN AND COUNTRY LOST POWER. TWICE. THIS CAUSED ME TO HAVE TO AVOID OTHER CARS AND FIND A WAY TO RESTART THE VEHICLE TO ENSURE WE DID NOT CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. WHEN WE HAD THE VAN CHECKED OUT, IT WAS FOUND THAT WE HAD A FAULTY WIRELESS IGNITION MODULE (WIN MODULE). THIS PART WAS REPLACED IN MY MAKE AND MODEL VEHICLE UNDER A RECALL BY CHRYSLER, BUT WE WERE INFORMED THAT OUR VIN DID NOT MATCH THOSE MANUFACTURED IN THE TIME PERIOD ATTRIBUTED TO THE RECALL. WE ARE REQUESTING THAT CHRYSLER EXPAND THE RECALL OF THE WIN MODULE TO INCLUDE THE FULL MODEL YEAR. THIS WAS A VERY SCARY INCIDENT FOR MY FAMILY, AND WITH IT BEING AN IDENTIFIED PROBLEM ALREADY, I FIND IT HARD TO SWALLOW THAT WE WERE FORCED TO PAY TO REPLACE A PART CHRYSLER KNEW TO BE FAULTY.

THE HEADLIGHTS FLICKERED AND THEN STOPPED WORKING AT STARTUP IN BOTH AUTO AND MANUAL MODE, HIGHBEEMS ALSO DID NOT WORK. AFTER SITTING A WHILE THE HEADLIGHTS STARTING WORKING AGAIN THEN WITHOUT WARNING STOPPED WORKING AGAIN (TAIL LIGHTS, FOG LIGHTS ARE NOT AFFECTED). THIS IS THE 3RD TIME THE HEADLIGHT FAILURE HAS OCCURRED. I HAVE READ ON MESSAGE BOARDS THAT THIS HEADLIGHT ISSUE IS A RESULT OF A FAULTY TIPM.

THE VEHICLE HAS SHUT OFF ON US 3 TIMES WHILE DRIVING. ALL POWER IS LOST AND WE NEARLY HAD MAJOR ACCIDENTS IN 2 CASES. WE CONTACTED CHRYSLER, CASE #31401025, BUT THEY ARE UNWILLING TO ASSIST. THEY DON'T BELIEVE KILLING INNOCENT PEOPLE IS THEIR RESPONSIBILITY. WE HAVE HAD ALL THE RECALL WORK DONE ON THIS VEHICLE, AND THEY ALLEGEDLY "FIXED" THIS PROBLEM BEFORE THE THIRD INCIDENT THIS MORNING. THIS VEHICLE IS A HAZARD TO MY FAMILY AND TO THE PUBLIC AND CHRYSLER IS UNWILLING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I WILL NEVER FEEL SAFE IN THIS VEHICLE AND I WANT THEM TO PAY ME TO TAKE IT OFF THE ROAD. THE GOVERNMENT ALSO NEEDS TO ISSUE ANOTHER RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ALUMINUM VALVE TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR ILLUMINATED, THE CONTACT HEARD AN ABNORMAL NOISE AND THE REAR PASSENGER TIRE FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ALUMINUM STEM VALVE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. IN ADDITION, THE FRONT AND REAR PASSENGER SIDE VALVES FAILED AND WERE REPLACED. THE FAILURE RECURRED THREE TIMES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES AND PROVIDED NO SOLUTION. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

WHEN DRIVING THIS VEHICLE IT CAN COMPLETELY STOP! NO ENGINE RUNNING, NO BRAKES, NO POWER STEERING, NO LIGHTS, NO EMERGENCY LIGHTS, YOU MUST COAST TO A STOP. THE KEY WILL NOT COME OUT THE GEAR SHIFT FREEZES ALSO. IF IT IS DARK YOU MUST JUMP OUT OF VEHICLE AND START WAVING AT ON COMING CARS, TO GO AROUND. IF IT DOES THIS AT A STOP IN AN INTERSECTION YOU MUST GET OUT AND WAIVE CARS AROUND. PEOPLE WANT TO CALL FOR SERVICE, BUT IF THEY CALL FOR SERVICE BY THE TIME THEY ARRIVE, IT MAY HAVE STARTED. THIS IS A WAIT AND SEE SITUATION! I CAN GO FOR A FEW DAYS, OR A FEW WEEKS, BUT IT ALWAYS HAPPENS AGAIN! I AM AFRAID FOR MY LIFE AND THE LIFE'S OF OTHERS ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT TIME DRIVING. I HAVE HAD IT TO THE DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES. THEY HAVE EVEN KEPT IT FOR THREE DAYS, AND CLAIM NOTHING IS RUN! THEY TELL ME THAT THEY HAVE RUN EVERY TEST IMMAGINABLE, BUT CAN,T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THEY HAVE REPLACED THE BATTERY. I HAVE HAD ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS CHECKED AND REPAIRED. I DEARLY LOVE THIS VAN, BUT NOT ENOUGH TO DIE IN IT! I HAVE READ OF HUNDREDS OF OWNERS OF THE SAME VEHICLE COMPLAINING OF THE SAME THING. MINE DID CUT OUT ON ME ON THE INTERSTATE AT 80 MPH, FORTUNATELY THE ROAD WAS STRAIGHT, AND HAD TO COAST TO A STOP, AND THEN YOU SIT AND WAIT UNTIL THE CAR DECIDES TO START AND RUN AGAIN! I AM READING WHERE PEOPLE ARE SPENDING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS FIXING ONE THING THEN ANOTHER, YET THEY STILL HAVE A DEATH MOBILE! I AM NOT GOING TO STOP ON THIS ONE! I HEARD ABOUT THE KEY PROBLEM, BUT MY DEALER CLAIMS THEY FIXED THE KEY! I WAS ONLY GIVEN ONE KEY, AND I AM NOT GOING TO SPEND $150 ON A NEW KEY! I AM LUCKY TO MAKE THE PAYMENTS AS MY DEALER LAID ME AWAY ON INTEREST, AND I AM A 68 YEAR OLD DISABLED WIDOW TRYING TO SURVIVE ON SOCIAL SECURITY, AND I AM NOT READY TO DIE FOR CHRYSLER! CAN,T THE 100'S OF PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM DO A JOINT SUIT WITH CHRYSLER?
