2016 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY Complaints

LEFT SIDE DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN. LOCAL DEALER IN LOCKED DOOR BUT EVERYTIME I LOCK THE DOORS, THE LOCK MAKES A VERY LOUD BUZZING NOISE.

I WAS IN MOTION DRIVING MY VEHICLE ON 495 ONE OF THE BIGGEST HIGHWAYS IN DC AREA. WHILE DRIVING MY TRANSMISSION STARTED TO SLIP COULD FEEL THIS SLIPS THEN MY CAR LOST ALL POWER REVED UP TO 5 6 WHILE PRESSING THE GAS BUT I COULD NOT GET THE CAR TO GO. THE MOST DANGEROUS DAY OF MY LIFE FOR MY CHILDREN AND I. THERE HAS ALREADY BEEN A RECALL ON THE SAME YEAR MAKE AND MODEL BUT NOT MY VIN NUMBER. RECALL 16V461000

HAVE 64987 MILES ON MY VEHICLE AND MY TRANSMISSION WENT OUT WHILE I WAS DRIVING. JUST 5000 MILES OVER THE WARRANTY. $4000 TO FIX IT. WE JUST HAD IT IN DECEMBER AND PAID $1500 TO FIX THE VEHICLE INCLUDING UPDATING THE TRANSMISSION. THIS IS RIDICULOUS THAT SUCH A NEW VEHICLE HAS THIS MANY BREAK DOWNS. MY DODGE CARAVAN HAS 158000 MILES AND NO MAJOR PROBLEMS.

AIR BAG LIGHT HAS COME ON AND WON'T GO OFF. REAR PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR IS LOCKED DOWN AND CANNOT BE OPENED

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS USING THE KEYLESS ENTRY, THE VEHICLE'S DOORS AND LIFTGATE FAILED TO OPEN AND CLOSE. ADDITIONALLY, THE MANUAL BUTTON HAD TO BE PUSHED FOUR TIMES BEFORE THE DOORS OPENED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO NORMANDIN CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM FIAT (900 CAPITOL EXPRESSWAY AUTO MALL, SAN JOSE, CA 95136, (408) 266-9500) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE DOOR HANDLES NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 586519, BUT NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000.

THE PASSENGER ELECTRIC DOOR LOCKS FAILED IN THE UNLOCKED POSITION. WE WE'RE UNABLE TO LOCK THE DOOR. DEALER SUGGESTED TO NOTE THIS SAFETY RELATED ISSUE TO ANTSY

DRIVER'S SIDE SLIDING DOOR WILL NOT UNLOCK OR OPEN EITHER WITH THE REMOTE, PUSH BUTTON OR MANUALLY. IF AN ACCIDENT DISABLED THE PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR, OCCUPANTS IN THE REAR WOULD BE TRAPPED INSIDE.

THE CHRYSLER BLIND SPOT DETECTION IS FAULTY ON MARCH 30 IT BEGAN BEEPING RANDOMLY WITH MESSAGE 'BLIND SPOT DETECTION UNAVAILABLE' THIS CONTINUED FOR THE NEXT TWO WEEKS. IT WAS RANDOMLY AND PERSISTENT WHEN DRIVING. THE BEEPING WAS A CONSTANT DISTRACTION TO MY DRIVING. IT WAS A SAFETY CONCERN. IN THE THIRD WEEK THE MESSAGE WHEN THE BEEPING WAS 'SERVICE BLIND SPOT DETECTION' WE TOOK THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE AT THAT POINT. IT WAS A COST OF $1400.00. THIS IS AN ELECTRIC SHORT IN THE VEHICLE VERY NEAR THE GAS TANK. IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN. AS I RESEARCHED THE ISSUE I WAS SURPRISED THAT THEIR IS DOCUMENTATION BACK TO 2012 THAT IS READILY AVAILABLE OF THIS ISSUE.

SLIDING DOOR LOCKING MECHANISM IS JAMMED AND WILL NOT UNLOCK. DOOR IS STUCK SHUT. SEEMS TO BE AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE BUT WILL NOT RESET BY REMOVING THE FUSE AND REINSTALLING. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT - IF IT WERE THE ONLY DOOR WE COULD GET OUT. THE VAN IS UNDER AN EXTENDED WARRANTY AND WE PLAN TO HAVE IT FIXED, BUT IT IS NOT THE FIRST TIME IT HAS HAPPENED - THE OTHER TIMES, IT JUST CORRECTED ITSELF AND RESET. THE OTHER SLIDING DOOR ALSO RANDOMLY WON'T SHUT BECAUSE THE LOCKING MECHANISM IS STUCK AND WE HAVE WORK IT INTO PLACE. THE DEALERSHIP HAS ALREADY LOOKED AT THAT DOOR ONCE AND SAYS THERE DOESN'T APPEAR TO BE ANYTHING WRONG. OF COURSE, THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY AND DOESN'T MATTER WHETHER IT IS ON OR OFF. THERE IS REALLY NOTHING I CAN UPLOAD OTHER THAN A PICTURE OF THE SHUT DOOR AND THAT IT IS LOCKED. I COULD SEND A VIDEO, BUT THE FILE WOULD BE TOO LARGE.

DROVE CAR TO WORK. TOOK KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION, BUT VAN CONTINUED TO RUN. DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY BUT VAN'S ENGINE CONTINUED TO RUN. DROVE IT TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS A WIN MODULE ISSUE. CURRENTLY AT ANOTHER CHRYSLER DEALER WAITING FOR REPAIR. THIS ISSUE COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN A SAFETY ISSUE. IF THE WIN MODULE HAD BROKEN IN THE 'OFF' POSITION ON A BUSY ROAD INSTEAD OF IN THE "ON" POSITION.
