2016 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY Complaints

THE PASSENGER SIDE SLIDING DOOR EMITS A LOUD BUZZING SOUND WHEN THE VEHICLE IS UNLOCKED. THE VOLUME IS LOUD ENOUGH THAT IT CAUSES AUDIO DISCOMFORT. RESEARCH INDICATED THAT THERE HAVE BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE IN THE 2016 DODGE AND CHRYSLER MINIVANS, AND SEVERAL INDIVIDUALS HAD REPORTED IT TO THIS SITE SO WE ARE FOLLOWING THAT SUGGESTION.

DRIVERS SIDE SLIDING POWER DOOR LOCK GETS STUCK, WHEN IT FINALLY UNLOCKS AND PROCEEDS TO CLOSE A VERY LOUD 'ELECTRICAL BUZZING SOUND ' COMES FROM DOOR AND IS VERY SCARY.....

THE TRANSMISSION PUMP AND CONVERTER FAILED CAUSING THE TRANSMISSION TO LOSE POWER,SLIP OUT OF GEAR,CLUNK. WHILE PULLING AWAY FROM A STOP SIGN. THE TRANSMISSION WOULD WHINE,VIBRATE, CLUNK WHEN PUT INTO A HEAVY STRAIN LIKE PULLING A STEEP HILL. THIS IS THE SAME TRANSMISSION AND PROBLEM AS THE RECALL. CHRYSLER SAID MY VIN DID NOT FALL UNDER THE RECALL S44 . I BELIEVE CHRYSLER SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE KNOWING THE TRANSMISSION WAS FAULTY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. THE CONTACT DETECTED AN ABNORMAL BUZZING NOISE COMING FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE SLIDING DOOR, THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 38,000. THE VIN WAS INVALID.

ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO MY VAN STARTED MAKING NOISE. WHILE I WAS DRIVING. AT TIMES IT WOULD HESITATE TO GO UP HILLS AND WHEN COMING TO A LIGHT IT WOULD SHAKE AND SOMETIMES SHUT OFF. THE RPMS WOULD GO CRAZY AT TIMES WHILE AT A STOP. WHEN TURNING IT WOULD SHAKE WHEN I WOULD TAKE THE TURN. I WENT TO HAVE IT CHECKED AND IT WASN'T GIVING ANY INQUIRIES ABOUT WHAT WAS WRONG. WHEN IT WAS DIAGNOSED ON SEPT 27TH IT JUST SAID THAT THE PASSENGER DOOR HAD SOMETHING WRONG WITH IT. ON OCT 3,2019 THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FINALLY CAME ON. I BROUGHT IT IN TO BE DIAGNOSED. IT SAID IT WAS THE TCC HAD MY APPOINTMENT TODAY FOR IT TO BE FIXED (OCTOBER 8,2019) COME TO FIND OUT IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION. I FEEL THAT THE CHRYSLER SHOULD PAY FOR THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE THE DIAGNOSTIC WAS WRONG AND IT TOOK OVER 3 MONTHS TO GET A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO GO ON. I'M ON DISABILITY AND LIVE PAYCHECK TO PAYCHECK. I AM STILL PAYING ON THIS VEHICLE AND DIDNT THINK THAT IN THE 2 YRS. THAT I WOULD BE PAYING FOR A TRANSMISSION AT 72,000 MILES. THIS VEHICLE WAS NEVER ON THE RECALL LIST BUT I BELIEVE IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN.

BOTH REAR POWER DOOR LOCKS FAILED. THE PASSENGER SIDE POWER LOCK FAILED TO FUNCTION ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO, BUT COULD BE OPERATED MANUALLY, AND THE DOOR COULD BE OPENED AND CLOSED SAFELY. ON THE MORNING OF AUGUST 5, 2019 WE ATTEMPTED TO OPEN THE DRIVER SIDE REAR DOOR TO LOAD ITEMS FOR DEPARTURE. THE LOCK WAS JAMMED IN LOCK POSITION, AND COULD NOT BE OPENED MANUALLY. THE DOOR WAS JAMMED CLOSED AND TOTALLY INOPERABLE. THE DOOR HAD BEEN FULLY FUNCTIONAL THE PREVIOUS DAY. THE DISCOVERY WAS MADE WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN OUR GARAGE. WE HAD TO WAIT 3 DAYS FOR A SERVICE APPOINTMENT AT OUR LOCAL DEALER. THEY HAD THE VEHICLE FOR 2-1/2 DAYS BEFORE COMPLETING REPAIRS. BOTH LOCK ACTUATORS WERE REPLACED. THE INABILITY TO OPEN THE SIDE DOOR CREATED A HAZARDOUS SITUATION.

I HAVE ABOUT 71000 MILES AND MY CAR WHEN PUSHING ON THE GAS REVVED UP THE RPM'S AND WOULD NOT MOVE FORWARD. MY MECHANIC SAID MY TRANSMISSION FLUID PUMP IS BAD. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE FOR 2016 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY VANS MANUFACTURED WHEN MINE WAS HOWEVER MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. CHRYSLER SHOULD DO THE RIGHT THING AND INCLUDE ALL THOSE AFFECTED WITH THIS ISSUE.

WHEN UNLOCKING THE DOORS, THERE IS A LOUD BUZZ THAT HAPPENS EVERY TIME. CURRENTLY THE DOOR STILL LOCKS/UNLOCKS, BUT UPON FURTHER RESEARCH THIS IS A VERY WIDESPREAD ISSUE AND COULD RESULT IN THE DOOR NOT LOCKING/UNLOCKING AND THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR NEEDING TO BE REPLACED. IT IS COMMON FOR THIS TO HAPPEN ON THE 2016 MODEL YEAR.

EVERY TIME I UNLOCK THE DOOR OR OPEN IT, IT MAKES A LOUD BUZZING NOISE. THE DOOR WORKS FINE - IT OPENS AND CLOSES. BUT WHEN USING THE UNLOCK BUTTON FROM THE DOOR, OR OPENING THE DOOR IF THE CAR IS LOCKED, IT MAKES A VERY LOUD BUZZING NOISE FROM THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR. I HAVE READ ON A FORUM THAT THIS IS AFFECTING A LOT OF VANS, THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL AS IT IS A FAULTY ACTUATOR THAT CAN COST BETWEEN $400-$1,000 (OR MORE!) TO FIX.

I RENTED THE VAN. I WAS AT A STOP SIGN, WHEN CROSSING THE VAN WAS SLOW/ SLUGGISH AND I SAW A CAR COMING FROM MY LEFT SPEEDING AND I PRESSED ON THE GAS TO ACCELERATE AND THE VAN DID NOT ACCELERATE AS EXPECTED, I THOUGHT THIS WAS DUE TO MY EXPERIENCE WITH A MINIVAN AND WEIGHT OF THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE, BUT LATER REALIZED THIS WAS A 6 CYLINDER AND WHICH I DID HAVE EXPERIENCE AND RECALL THIS VAN NOT GIVING ME THE SPEED TO CROSS IN TIME YO POTENTIALLY AVOID THE ACCIDENT I HAD.
