2011 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY Complaints

WE HAVE OWNED OUR VAN FOR 3 WEEKS. IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP ONCE ALREADY AND I HAVE ANOTHER CALL INTO THE DEALERSHIP. STARTING 07/2015 THE VAN WOULD NOT START EASILY, THREE TIMES ONCE I HAD IT STARTED AND WAS PHYSICALLY DRIVING IT SHUT DOWN. WE HAD IT BROUGHT IN FOR SERVICE AND THEY FIXED THE AIR FILTER. WHEN IT WAS RETURNED IT RAN OKAY FOR TWO DAYS AND THEN THE PROBLEMS BEGAN AGAIN. TODAY I DROVE THE VAN TO AND FROM THE GROCERY STORE. I WENT TO PUT THE VAN IN MY GARAGE AND IT WILL NOT START AT ALL. THE ENGINE TRIES BUT NEVER STARTS. THE LIGHTS COME ON, WINDOWS GO UP AND DOWN AND THE DOORS CAN LOCK. IT JUST WONT START.

WHILE TRAVELING ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT LIT-UP ON THE DASH. I PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND CALLED MY DEALER WHICH WAS LOCATED 15 MILES AWAY AND WAS TOLD THAT I MAY NOT MAKE IT BACK TO THEM FOR SERVICE. THE ENGINE WOULD QUIT. I DID DRIVE TO THE DEALER WITHOUT INCIDENT. THE ALTERNATOR WAS REPLACED BY THE DEALER AT A COST OF $577.35. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE OF THE ALTERNATOR WAS NOT IDENTIFIED, 14V-634 DOES NOT INCLUDE THE TOWN AND COUNTRY BUT INCLUDES OTHER CHRYSLER, DODGE AND JEEP VEHICLES OF THE SAME YEAR. I AM REQUESTING THAT THIS VEHICLE BE CONSIDERED FOR THIS RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V373000 (AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM); HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

TURN SIGNAL LAMP ON BOTH MIRRORS DEFECTIVE. COVER COMES OFF EXPOSING THE ELECTRICAL BOARD WITH THE LIGHTS. BOTH SIDES NOT FUNCTIONING. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE ON THE INTERNET. WE HAVE A CHRYSLER MAXIMUM CARE PLAN WHICH IT THE BEST WARRANTY CHRYSLER OFFERS BUT THIS PART IS NOT COVERED. THIS ITEM IS FOR ADDED SAFETY BUT NOT FUNCTIONING AND I'M CONCERNED EXPOSED ELECTRICAL BOARDS TO THE WEATHER COULD CAUSE A SHORT OR FIRE.

BLIND SPOT INDICATORS BEGAN TO MALFUNCTION WITH INDICATORS IN MIRRORS REMAINING ON, AND DRIVER INFORMATION SYSTEM STATING THE BLIND SPOT INDICATOR SYSTEM FAILED. ALSO LOST REAR BACK-UP CAMERA SHORTLY THEREAFTER. PURCHASED THIS VAN AS A REPLACEMENT TO MY 2005 T&C WITH 280,000 MILES.

SO, STARTED WITH KEY FOBS NOT WORKING NEXT WAS THE AIR BAG LIGHT GOING OFF AND ON AND NOW IT WONT EVEN START. AFTER LETTING THE VAN SIT FOR A WILE IT WILL START HOWEVER NOW IT WILL JUST SHUT OFF WILE DRIVING.
