2016 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY Complaints

I WAS PICKING MY DAUGHTER UP FROM SOFTBALL PRACTICE WHEN MY VEHICLE STOPPED SHIFTING ON THE HIGHWAY. WE WERE AT A STOP LIGHT AND PUSHING THE GAS PRACTICALLY DID NOTHING. THE VEHICLE WOULDN'T MOVE. ONCE IT DID MOVE SLOWLY IT WOULDN'T SHIFT. MY RPMS WENT UP TO 5 AT ONE POINT. MY HUSBAND TRIED TO DRIVE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP BUT ONLY MADE IT ABOUT 2 MILES FROM OUR HOUSE BEFORE WE'R HAD TO CALL A TOW TRUCK. I HAVE A 2016 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY WITH LESS THAN 70K MILES. I CALLED CHRYSLER AFTER DISCOVERING THIS WAS ACTUALLY A RECALL ISSUE. ODDLY ENOUGH MY VIN WAS SUPPOSEDLY NOT AFFECTED, HOWEVER, MY $4000 TRANSMISSION REBUILD RECEIPT SAYS DIFFERENTLY. OF COURSE CHRYSLER ALSO SAID MY WARRANTY DIDN'T COVER THIS ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE SIDE SLIDING DOORS, POWER WINDOWS, AND WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAILED TO OPERATE AS NEEDED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. FURTHERMORE, THE ALARM AND THE HORN SOUNDED ON THEIR OWN WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT DROVE TO ZIMMERMAN MOTORS (1301 MARKET ST, SUNBURY, PA 17801, 570-286-2100) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WERE NO DEFECTS WITH THE VEHICLE; HOWEVER,THE FAILURES PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE AND PROVIDED NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 77,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

TRANSMISSION RECALL! WHILE DRIVING THROUGH TRAFFIC WITH MY 2YR OLD DAUGHTER MY VEHICLE SUDDENLY STOPPED MOVING WHEN HITTING THE GAS! AFTER LEARNING IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION I CALLED 2 CHRYSLER DEALERSHIPS AND WAS TOLD IT WAS NO LONGER COVERED BY WARRANTY. BUT WHEN AIR SEARCHED ON THE NHTSA PAGE I COME TO FIND OUT THAT 2016 CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRYS HAVE A WHOLE RECALL ON TRANSMISSIONS! I AM NOW IN THE HOLE OVER $5000 IN REPAIRS!

WIFE WAS INVOLVED IN A TWO CAR ACCIDENT IN WHICH SHE WAS HIT HEAD ON SLIGHTLY OFF TO THE RIGHT. AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY CAUSING INJURIES. CAR WAS TRAVELING AT ABOUT 30 MPH

VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN NORMALLY. CAME TO STOP SIGN AT INTERSECTION WITH HIGHWAY. AS IT WAS COMING TO A STOP, THE TRANSMISSION DIDN'T SEEM TO WANT TO DOWNSHIFT WITH THE SLOWING SPEED. ENGINE SPEED SLOWED TO BELOW IDLE, AND TRANSMISSION CLUNKED (AND SEEMED TO DROP COMPLETELY OUT OF GEAR). AS TRAFFIC CLEARED AND THE ACCELERATOR WAS PRESSED, THE VEHICLE WOULDN'T MOVE AT ALL (FORWARDS OR REVERSE). HAD TO WAVE LOTS OF OTHER DRIVERS PAST. THANKFULLY IT WAS ALREADY STOPPED, OR THE OUTCOME COULD HAVE BEEN LOTS WORSE. DEALERSHIP STATED "TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING AND SURGING. FLUID WAS OK. PUMP PRESSURE WAS LOW, AND TORQUE HAD A SHUDDER. TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED." THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS YEAR, MAKE, AND MODEL FOR THE FAILURE OF THE HYDRAULIC PUMP IN THE TRANSMISSION, BUT THIS VIN IS FOR SOME REASON NOT INCLUDED. VEHICLE HAS ONLY 67,500 MILES.

TRANSMISSION HAS ISSUE SINCE FIRST DAY IT WAS BOUGHT THE VEHICLE ELECTRICAL DOORS NOT FUNCTIONING

2016 TOWN & COUNTRY SLIDING DOOR RIGHT SIDE DOES NOT LOCK, DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR REPLACED BY CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP DEC 29, 2017. BELIEVE THIS TO BE A SAFETY CONCERN WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. NOTICED DOOR PARTLY AJAR IN PARKING LOT, PULLED HANDLED READJUSTED TO SHUT AND SECURE DOORS WITH FOB IT WAS NOTICED THAT DOOR LOCKING MECHANISM DID NOT ACTIVATE, RESULTING IN DOOR NOT ABLE TO SECURELY LOCK, SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO LOCK WITH NO POSITIVE RESULTS, DOOR REMAINS UNLOCKED AT ALL TIMES.

DRIVERS SIDE REAR SLIDING DOOR LOCK WON'T DISENGAGE. THE DOORS AUTOMATICALLY LOCK WHEN THE VEHICLE REACHES A CERTAIN SPEED. IT CANNOT BE UNLOCKED MANUALLY OR WITH ELECTRONIC LOCK BUTTONS/KEY FOB. VAN IS ONKY 3 YEARS OLD WITH 45,000 MILES. COULD BE A SERIOUS PROBLEM FOR REAR PASSENGERS IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION AND CANNOT OPEN THE DOOR. I HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ONLINE FROM OTHER OWNERS WITH THIS VERY SAME PROBLEM.

2016 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY 40K MILES. THE PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE HAS BECOME UNRESPONSIVE FOR NO APPARENT REASON. IT CANNOT BE OPENED MANUALLY OR WITH A REMOTE. THERE IS NO BODY DAMAGE. IN READING BLOGS THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE.

I WAS DRIVING TO THE POST OFFICE AND AS I WAS GETTING CLOSE, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY VEERED TO THE RIGHT, GOING UP ON THE CURB AND SIDEWALK, BARELY MISSED A TELEPHONE POLE, CRASHING INTO A UTILITY BOX. VEHICLE WAS TOTALED, NO INJURIES RECEIVED, AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. TRAVEL SPEED WAS AT POSTED LIMIT OF 35. WHEN MY SON GOT THERE HE SAID THAT IT LOOKED AS IF THE 2 TIRES ON THE RIGHT HAD MALFUNCTIONED AND GONE FLAT, ALMOST AS IF THEY HAD RUN OVER SHARP OBJECTS, CAUSING THE VAN TO SUDDENLY VEER RIGHT
