2010 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY Complaints

MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND THEN MY HEADLIGHTS AND MY BRIGHTS WILL NOT WORK. THEY FLICKER ON AND THEN TURN OFF. THE ERROR CODE SAYS IT IS THE TPIM THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. UPON GOOGLING I HAVE DISCOVERED THIS IS AN EXTREMELY COMMON PROBLEM OF CHRYSLER THAT THEY SEEM TO JUST IGNORE. I WAS DRIVING HOME AT NIGHT WITH MY 5 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER, THROUGH THE BACK ROADS OF MICHIGAN WHEN MY LIGHTS WENT OFF. I HAD TO DRIVE FOR ALMOST 2 HOURS WITH NO LIGHTS WITH MY DAUGHTER IN THE CAR. THE REPAIR SHOP CLEARED THE CODE AND IT WORKED, BUT THEN IT CAME ON AGAIN LAST WEEK AND NOW MY LIGHTS AREN'T WORKING AGAIN. *TR

MY CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY 2010 IS SUDDENLY TURNING OFF WHILE DRIVING. NO ONE CAN FIND A CODE WHATS WRONG WITH IT. *TR

WHEN OUR TOWN AND COUNTRY WAS DRIVEN AT NIGHT THE HEAD LIGHTS SHUT OFF. THEY WOULD TURN ON FOR A FEW SECONDS THEN WOULD TURN OFF AND STAY OFF. EVEN IF THE CAR IS RESTARTED OR THE LIGHTS TURNED OFF AND BACK ON, THEY STAYED OFF.

MY CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY SHUTS OFF THE ENGINE WITH NO WARNING. IT HAS HAPPENED MOSTLY AT LOWER SPEEDS AND OFTEN WHILE TURNING A CORNER IN THE FIRST FIVE MINUTES OF OPERATION, BUT THIS WEEK IT HAPPENED ON INTERSTATE EXIT RAMP AFTER SEVERAL HOURS OF HIGHWAY DRIVING. TWO YEARS AGO I HAD THE WHOLE INTEGRATED POWER MODULE REPLACED AT MY EXPENSE. CHECKED WITH CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE AND NO RECALL HAS EVER BEEN ISSUED. I ASKED IF OTHERS HAD REPORTED SIMILAR PROBLEMS AND THE LADY SAID SHE PERSONALLY HAD NEVER RECEIVED ANY REPORT WHICH MADE ME THINK THE COMPANY KNOWS ALL ABOUT IT. SO FAR THE VEHICLE HAS RESTARTED WITHOUT A PROBLEM, BUT WHEN IT FAILS AND YOU LOSE POWER STEERING IT IS A HAZARD TO GET TO SAFETY. MY WIFE IS AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR BECAUSE SHE CANNOT STEER IT WITHOUT THE POWER ASSIST. DEALER OFFERED NO SUGGESTIONS BEYOND PAYING $150 FOR A DIAGNOSTIC SERVICE. NO WARNINGS SHOW ON THE DASH. DATE BELOW IS THE MOST RECENT EXAMPLE. THE CAR HAS 117,000 MILES NOW. *TR

THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR SIDE MIRRORS/WINDOW/LOCK SWITCH GOT WET DUE TO HEAVY RAIN. THE LOCKING PART NO LONGER WORKED, EITHER IN MOTION OR STANDING. I BROUGHT IT TO GANDRUD IN GB THREE TIMES. THEY COULD NOT FIND A CODE TO TELL THEM WHAT WAS WRONG. THEY OFFERED TO TEAR APART THE DOOR TO TRY TO FIND THE PROBLEM, POSSIBLY COSTING ME $800. THEY DIDN'T CARE THAT IF I HAD TO DRIVE IN MILWAUKEE AND INTRUDER TRIED TO GET IN MY VAN I WOULD NOT BE SAFE.I FINALLY DECIDED TO TRY TO FIX IT MYSELF. FOUND OUT THERE WAS A RECALL BUT MY VEHICLE WASN'T INCLUDED (I CALLED THE CHRYSLER RECALL LINE). I BOUGHT THE COMPONENT AND VOILA! IT WORKED. VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH SERVICE AND THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL..

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE HEADLIGHTS FAILED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

MY TOWN AND COUNTRY'S HEADLIGHTS WERE INTERMITTENTLY GOING OUT, OF COURSE A DANGER. THEN THEY WOULD NOT TURN ON, WHICH DID NOT LET ME DRIVE AT NIGHT. THEY WOULD FLICKER 3 TIMES UPON STARTUP. AND NOW I'VE LOST ALL POWER TO THE ENTIRE VEHICLE. THIS SEEMS SIMILAR TO PEOPLE WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED TIPM ISSUES COMMON TO CHRYSLER/DODGE CARS. THEY SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE AND BE FORCED TO FIX AND OR REIMBURSE OWNERS WITH THIS PROBLEM. IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND A COSTLY PROBLEM DUE TO A FLAWED PRODUCT.

HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING. FIRST DURING DAYLIGHT; THEN AT NIGHT WHILE DRIVING HOME. DANGEROUS AND SCARY. NEXT DAYS, THE LIGHTS WOULD WORK AND THEN NOT WORK. TOOK VAN TO DEALERSHIP. DIAGNOSED AS A FAULTY TIPM THAT WOULD COST $1275 TO REPLACE. WHAT IS SOOO GALLING IS READING ABOUT MANY, MANY, MANY, MANY OTHER CAR OWNERS WHO HAVE HAD ALSO BEEN TOLD TO REPLACE THE TIPM IN A VARIETY OF CHRYSLER VEHICLES. MANY OF THESE STORIES ARE HAIR RAISING IN THE DESCRIPTIONS OF DANGER--CARS SUDDENLY STOPPING ON THE HIGHWAY, LIGHT GOING OUT ON DARK NIGHTS, WIPERS GOING NUTS OR QUITTING; HORNS BLARING; TERRIFIED PARENTS AND CHILDREN. WHY NO RECALL???? IS CHRYSLER WAITING UNTIL PEOPLE ARE KILLED?? SAD, SAD COMMENTARY ON THIS AMERICAN PRODUCT. I FEEL VIOLATED AND UNPROTECTED AS A CONSUMER. IT IS TROUBLING TO BE TOLD WE NEED TO PAY $1275 FOR A PART THAT HAS BEEN COMPLAINED ABOUT TO CHRYSLER FOR YEARS AND FEEL RELIEVED THAT WE WEREN'T IN A TERRIBLE CAR CRASH. SOMETHING IS SO NOT RIGHT HERE.

DASH LIGHTS ON INSTRUMENT PANEL/CLUSTER ARE NOT WORKING. CAN NOT SEE HOW FAST I AM GOING UNLESS I HOLD A LIGHT TO THE PANEL. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS. INSTRUCTED THAT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL NEEDED REPLACED. PART AT THE DEALERSHIP IS $500 PLUS 3 HOURS OF LABOR. VEHICLE CAN BE IN MOTION AND STATIONARY AND I STILL HAVE NO DASH LIGHTS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE RANDOMLY STALLED SEVERAL TIMES WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A MECHANIC AT A REPAIR SHOP MORE THAN THREE TIMES, BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO REPLICATE AND DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED NO SOLUTION. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 11V139000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) AND 14V373000 (AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE IF THE VEHICLE WOULD BE REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.
