2014 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY Complaints

OIL FILTER/ADAPTER/OIL COOLER ASSEMBLY FAILED, CAUSING LARGE AMOUNT OF OIL TO LEAK ALL OVER ENGINE & TRANSMISSION, LIKELY CREATING A FIRE HAZARD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, LOUD NOISES WERE HEARD COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE LIFTER IN THE ENGINE WAS FAULTY. THE DEALER (SHEETS CHRYSLER IN BECKLEY, WEST VIRGINIA) WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 133,000.

WITHIN WARRANTY, PASSENGER SIDE TAKATA INFLATORS WAS REPLACED NO CHARGE. A YEAR LATER AFTER WARRANTY THE DRIVERS SIDE SIGNALS A PROBLEM ON THE DASHBOARD. DEALER SAYS IS WILL COST $700.00 TO REPLACE. REPORTED TO THE PENN SAFETY COMMISSION, AND TO CHRYSLER. LAST YEAR 2017. NO ONE IS WILLING TO STAND BY THE PRODUCT WITH CONCERN FOR MY SAFETY. I AM A 64 YEAR OLD GRANDMOTHER. FIRST TIME CHRYSLER BUYER AND THE LAST TIME TOO. TRIED TO STAY A DEDICATED AMERICAN MADE BUYER,,,, HOWEVER,,, NO RESPECT FOR WHO I AM AS A CONSUMER, OR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY.

WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE ON MAY 2017 FROM A REPUTABLE DEALER, WHEN WE TOOK IT FOR A ROAD TEST WE FELT SOME 'RUMBLING' EVERY TIME THAT WE APPLIED THE BRAKES, WHEN WE QUESTIONED THE SALES PERSON, WE WERE TOLD THAT IS BECAUSE THE 'ABS' BEING ACTIVATED. WHEN WE TOOK IT FOR STATE INSPECTION, MARCH 2018, WE WERE TOLD THAT THE DISC BRAKES ON THE FOUR WHEELS WERE 'RUSTING' AND NEEDED TO BE 'TURNED' TO CLEAN THE RUST, OF COURSE WE HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR. CHECKING IN THE INTERNET, I READ THAT OTHER DRIVERS WERE COMMENTING THAT THEY HAVE THE SANE ISSUE, RUSTED DISCS, ETC. ETC. I BELIEVE THAT MANUFACTURER USED POOR QUALITY COMPONENTS AND SHOULD MAKE THINGS RIGHT.

2014 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE SHAKING VIOLENTLY, UNINTENDED ACCELERATION AND SLOW SHIFTING. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE PASSENGER TIRE SENSOR CORRODED AND CAUSED THE TIRE TO BLOW OUT. THE VEHICLE RASHED INTO A NEIGHBOR'S CAR. *JS

AIR BAG LIGHT ON INSTRUMENT PANEL CAME ON THE OTHER DAY AND STAYS ON WHILE VEHICLE IS RUNNING.

THE DRIVER'S SEAT BELT SPONTANEOUSLY UNBUCKLES WHILE DRIVING. EVEN AFTER LATCHING IT SECURELY, HEARING A 'CLICK' AND NOTING THE ABSENCE OF THE DRIVER SEAT BELT WARNING, IT HAS COME UNBUCKLED SPONTANEOUSLY WHICH TRIGGERS THE SEAT BELT WARNING. THIS HAS HAPPENED DOZENS OF TIMES AND WE ARE HAVING TO REPLACE THE SEAT BELT AS A RESULT. NOTE: ALTHOUGH THIS VEHICLE IS A 2014 MODEL YEAR, IT HAD LESS THAN 17,000 MILES ON IT WHEN WE PURCHASED IT AND IMMEDIATELY NOTICED THIS PROBLEM. THAT WAS IN OCTOBER OF 2017.

STALLS WITHOUT WARNING UNDER ALL CONDITIONS. ENGINE AND ALL ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS (ENGINE, LIGHTS, POWER BRAKES, POWER STEERING, INTERIOR LIGHTS, DASHBOARD LIGHTS). THIS USED TO HAPPEN ONCE AND A WHILE. NOW IT HAPPENS MORE THAN ONCE A DAY. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY PROBLEM. LAST TIME THE CAR WAS AT THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. DO NOT BUY A CHRYSLER MINIVAN UNTIL THIS IS ADDRESSED, THEY TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS DANER, AND THERE IS A RECALL. CAR HAS LESS THAN 40K MILES. MOST RECENTLY HAPPENED WHEN TRAVELLING AT ABOUT 20MPH, WHILE PULLING OUT OF A PARKING LOT AND INTO TRAFFIC ON A BUSY ROAD, TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE IS 40F. CITY STREET. CAR WAS ALREADY WARM (HAD BEEN DRIVEN ABOUT 10-MILES PRIOR TO THIS HAPPENING. I'M ONLY ALLOWED TO CHECK THREE ITEMS FOR PART OF THE CAR AFFECTED, BUT OTHER SYSTEMS WERE ALSO EFFECTED INCLUDING LIGHTING, PEED CONTROL, WIPERS, POWER SEATS, STEERING, ELEC STABILITY CONTROL, AIR BAGS, TIRE PRESSURE SENSORS, AND OTHER ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS.

WE HAVE MULTIPLE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS INVOLVING DIFFERENT SYSTEMS. ORC AND SEAT BELT TENSION-ER NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. BLIND SPOT SENSOR AND HARNESS NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. ALONG WITH LEFT SIDE MODULE. LOCK ACTUATOR ON PASSENGER SIDE DOOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. AIR BAG SENSOR FOR DRIVER IS MALFUNCTIONING AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.

EVEN DRIVING DOWN MILD GRADE FRONT DISC BRAKES ROTORS BECOMES WARPED UNDER NORMAL BRAKING ( HEAT) CONDITION. THIS CREATES UNUSUAL SHAKING , VIBRATION OF STEERING WHEEL AND THE WHOLE FRONT SUSPENSION. I WAS TOLD BY FEW MECHANICS THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE BECAUSE MANUFACTURER IS NOT WILLING DO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. PLEASE, LOK INTO THIS PROBLEM, BECAUSE IT IS OBVIOUS DEFECT AND COULD PRESENT DANGEROUS SITUATION.
