2014 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY Complaints

MY 2014 T&C WILL SHUT DOWN WHEN DRIVING. THE POWER STEERING AND ALL ELECTRICAL GOES OUT. THIS HAPPENS MOST FREQUENTLY WHEN I'M SLOWING DOWN FOR A TURN, LEAVING ME IN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES WITHOUT WARNING IN BOTH CITY DRIVING AS WELL AS TURNING INTO MY DRIVEWAY IN A SUBDIVISION. IT HAPPENED ONCE RIGHT AFTER WE BOUGHT THE VAN IN 2015, BUT HAS BEGUN TO GET MORE AND MORE FREQUENT. THE DATE I'M PUTTING AS THE DATE OF THE INCIDENT IS THE MOST RECENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. THE CONTACT NOTICED AN OIL LEAK COMING FROM THE VEHICLE WHILE IT WAS PARKED IN THE GARAGE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS A CRACK IN THE HOUSING THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 53,000.

HAVE SLIPPING WITH MY TRANSMISSION, HAD TO TAKE THE VAN BACK TO THE SHOP 7 TIMES AND STILL NOTHING HAS BEEN RESOLVED AND THE WARRANTY WILL SOON RUN OUT. AT WHICH POINT WHAT CAN BE DONE? THIS WILL BE FIXED THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED 1 YEAR AGO AND START HAVING THE ISSUE A FEW MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE AFTER SEVERAL TIME IN THE DEALER THEY SO NOT WANT TO REPLACE TRANSMISSION AND SAID THEY CANNOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. *TR

MY BRAKE BOOSTER WENT OUT FOR NO REASON. I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN MY BRAKES STARTED HISSING AIR AND VIBRATING, ALMOST COULDN'T STOP. I HAVE A 2014 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. THIS PART SHOULD LAST FOR 10 YEARS!! THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE DODGE DURANGO AND JEEP CHEROKEE. WHY IS THERE NOT ONE FOR CHRYSLER? THIS IS COSTING ME $600.00! NOT HAPPY WITH CHRYSLER.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HWY SUDDENLY I FELT THE STEERING VERY HARD AND I AM LOSING SPEED. I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE HWY WHICH WAS VERY HARD, HARD TO STOP (NO BRAKES). I ASKED MY MECHANIC AND HE TOLD ME TO PUT IN PARK OR NEUTRAL AND START THE CAR, AFTER IT HAPPENED 2 MORE TIME, SO TWO WEEKS AFTER THE LAST ONE I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER BUT HE COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. NO REPAIRS MADE AND I AM VERY SCARED TO DRIVE. *TR

TIPM MODULE DEFECTIVE LEAVING MY VEHICLE STRANDED HAD TO BE TOWED HOME WITH MY KIDS, BEEN TO DEALERSHIP TWICE, WITH NO LUCK BUT A 200 SERVICE FEE AND NO CORRECTION, I CALLED CHRYSLER CORP DIRECTLY AND WAS HUNG UP ON SAYIN THEY WILL DO NOTHING WHEN ASK TO SPEAK TO MANAGER. THE OCCASIONS I WENT TO GET GAS MAYBE 4 MIN FILLED GAS CAR WOULDN'T START WAITED 2 HRS 4 TOW TRUCK, OTHER TIMES WAS IN HIGHWAY CAR STARTED SHAKING PULLED OVER AGAIN CAR WOULDN'T START GIVING ME A LIGHTING BOLT ERROR CODE IN DASH BOARD I PAY 467 A MONTH AND SPENT LETS SEE 200 3 TIMES FOR TOWING 189.99 AT DEALERSHIP TWICE IN ONE [XXX] MONTH AND CHRYSLER KNOWS OF THIS ISSUE IN THERE CARS AND WONT RECALL IT. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

HAD VAN AT DEALERSHIP 5 TIMES FOR HAVING TO CRANK TO START, ROUGH RUNNING ENGINE & LOSS OF POWER. CRANK SENSOR WAS REPLACED TWICE DUE TO WIRING HARNESS BEING OUT OF PLACE, BROKEN OPEN ON BOTTOM & HAD CORRODED WIRES. WIRES FIXED & HARNESS SECURED. HAD SAME PROBLEMS 2 WEEKS LATER. SOME WIRING FIXED & PCM REPLACED. JUST OVER 1 MONTH LATER I WAS DRIVING 75MPH ON EXPRESSWAY AFTER HAVING JUST PASSED A SEMI-TRUCK WHEN I FELT A SUDDEN "GIVE" AND MY VAN BEGAN TO DECELERATE RAPIDLY. I PUSHED ON THE ACCELORATOR BUT THERE WAS NO POWER OR RESPONSE. THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING AND NO WARNING LIGHTS SHOWED ON THE DASH. I KNEW THE POWER STEERING WOULD BE AFFECTED TOO (BASED ON THIS PREVIOUSLY HAPPENING AT ABOUT 15 MPH) AND WAS LUCKILY ABLE TO GET PULLED OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE EXPRESSWAY. TURNED VAN OFF & RESTARTED. IT SEEMED FINE SO I GOT OFF THE EXPRESSWAY AT THE EXIT RAMP THAT WAS IN SIGHT AND TOOK A SECONDARY ROAD BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY HAD MY VAN FOR A WEEK AND WEREN'T GETTING ANY CODES ON THEIR DIAGNOSTIC TOOL AND COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE POWER LOSS. I HAD TO TAKE MY VAN BACK BECAUSE THE LOANER VEHICLE AUTHORIZED BY CHRYSLER CUSTOMER CARE HAD TO BE GIVEN BACK SINCE THEY COULDN'T FIND A PROBLEM WITH MY VAN! IF THE POWER LOSS I EXPERIENCED AT 75MPH HAD HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC I WOULD'VE BEEN IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. SINCE I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO HAVE NOT BEEN IN TRAFFIC I ONLY HAVE A DEALERSHIP INVOICE TO VERIFY MY COMPLAINT.

GAS WAS POURING OUT OF THE FLUE LINE LINE DOWN OVER THE GAS TANK ONTO THE FREEWAY WHILE DRIVING EMPTYING OUT THE GAS TANK. DID NOT KNOW THE EXTENT OF THE SERIOUSNESS OF THE PROBLEM UNTIL ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE WAS CALLED. IT WAS THEN THAT I WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD TO GET CLEARANCE THAT THE VEHICLE WAS SAFE TO TOW. BECAUSE OF THE NATURE OF THE PROBLEM I REALIZED THE VEHICLE COULD HAVE CAUGHT AFIRE WHILE DRIVING CAUSING BODY INJURIES TO ALL THAT WERE IN THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING. HAVE NO PICTURES AT PRESENT TO UPLOAD SINCE THE VEHICLE IS IN THE SHOP FOR REPAIRS. HOPEFULLY, I CAN OBTAIN PICTURE(S) TO SUBMIT AT A LATER DATE.

DRIVER SIDE SLIDING DOOR MOTOR BEGINS TO OPERATE ON ITS OWN WHILE THE VEHICLE IS ON OR OFF. THE VEHICLE HAS NOW BEEN AT A DEALER 3 TIMES FOR REPAIR WITHOUT ANY SUCCESS. THIS TIME IT ALSO HAS CAUSED COMPLETE FAILURE OF SEVERAL BATTERY CELLS CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO BE HAZARDOUS TO DRIVING AS THE VEHICLE DOES STILL START AND DRIVE, HOWEVER, THERE ARE TIMES IT DOES SHUT OFF DUE TOT HE BATTERY ISSUE.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR. IT WAS A VERY HOT DAY, BUT WE HAD JUST HAD A RAINSTORM. THERE WERE NO CARS AROUND ME ON THE ROAD AND ALL OF A SUDDEN A HEARD LOUD BOOM. I CHECKED MY WINDOWS NOTHING AROUND ME. I LOOKED UP AND OPENED THE SUNROOF COVER, AND SAW MY SUNROOF WAS SHATTERED INTO TINY PIECES WITH A LARGE HOLE IN THE TOP. I IMMEDIATELY CLOSED THE COVER SO THAT THE GLASS DIDN'T FALL IN MY CAR ONTO MY CHILDREN.
