2014 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY Complaints

RADIO, GAUGES, TURN SIGNALS, AND AC RANDOMLY STOP WORKING. WIPERS TURN ON AT THE SAME TIME. SOME TIMES FOR SECONDS, SOMETIMES FOR HOURS.

VEHICLE GAUGE CLUSTER SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING 75 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE. THE DASH WARNING LIGHTS/CHIMES GO OFF AND ON, THE WIPERS TURN ON, THE A/C SHUTS DOWN, NO FUEL GAUGE AND MOST IMPORTANTLY NO TURN SIGNALS OR SPEEDO. I HAVE NARROWED IT DOWN TO A BAD BLIND SPOT SENSOR ON THE DRIVER SIDE. I CANT BELIEVE A FAILED SENSOR WOULD CAUSE SUCH SAFETY HAZARD WHEN THE SENSOR IS SUPPOSED TO MAKE THE CAR SAFER. VERY DISAPOINTED IN CHRYSLER RIGHT NOW FOR SHODDY CRAFTSMANSHIP.

RADIO, GAUGES, TURN SIGNALS, AND AC RANDOMLY STOP WORKING. WIPERS TURN ON AT THE SAME TIME. SOME TIMES FOR SECONDS, SOMETIMES FOR HOURS. THERE DOES NOT SEEM TO BE A TRIGGER AS IT HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, BACK ROADS AND EVEN STOPPED IN THE DRIVEWAY. NO WAY TO RESET THE CAR ONCE IT IS IN DEAD RADIO/AC/GAUGES MODE, IT WILL ONLY RESET ITSELF, AGAIN RANDOMLY. I TRIED PULLING THE BATTERY CABLE AND WAITING, THEN RE-ATTACHING TO NO AVAIL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TPMS WARNING LIGHT RANDOMLY FLASHED AND THEN REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE FAILURE PROGRESSED. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 46,000.

THE TIRE SYSTEM LIGHT STAYS ON. THE DEALER STATE TIES ARE NEW. I INFLATED ALL THE TIRES TO THE RECOMMENDED PRESSER. CHRYSLER CORPORATION SAID VEHICLE VIN NUMBER NOT UNDER THE SAME RECALL # P63

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, IT INDEPENDENTLY ROLLED BACK AND CRASHED INTO A CARPORT. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED BRUISES TO THE RIBS, ELBOW, AND KNEES, WHICH DID NOT REQUIRE MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,100.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM GOES HAY WIRE. THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON AND 12 HRS LATER THE CAR DIED. THE BATTERY WAS JUMP STARTED 3 TIMED AND IT RAN FOR A WHILE BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT CHANGE GEARS, ITS AUTOMATIC, SEVERAL WARNING LIGHTS TURNED ON. I FINALLY WOULD NOT MOVE ON THE LAST JUMP START THE GEAR SHIFTER WAS LOCKED AND ALL THE INSTRUMENT PANELS WERE ERRATIC.

MY 4 YEAR OLD CHILD WAS BUCKLED IN HIS BOOSTER SEAT WHEN THE SEATBELT LOCKED AS HE BUCKLED WHICH THEN LET TO HIM BEING TANGLED AROUND THE NECK SINCE IT WAS IN THE LOCKED POSITION THE ONLY WAY TO RELEASE IS TO COMPLETELY RETRACT OR CUT BEING HE WAS BEING STRANGULATED THE ONLY WAY WAS TO CUT THE BELT. ALL VEHICLES NEED TO HAVE AN EMERGENCY RELEASE OR SOME SORT OF RELEASE. IF I DIDN'T HAVE A PAIR OF SCISSORS IT COULD HAVE BEEN A SERIOUSLY BAD SITUATION. NOT EVEN SURE OF THE PURPOSE OF THE LOCKING WHEN FULLY PULLED OUT AS A SAFETY FEATURE.. THE MIDDLE BUCKLE HAS A RELEASE TO FOLD THE SEATS BACK.. WHY AREN'T ALL SEATS BELTS LIKE THAT? I FOUND HUNDREDS OF POST ABOUT CHILDREN GETTING TANGLED IN LOCKED SEAT BELTS.. IT'S DANGEROUS AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED! I WAS PARKED WHEN THIS HAPPENED IN A VERY RURAL AREA 20 MIN FOR LOCAL EMS OR FIRE DEPARTMENTS. IT'S A SCARY SITUATION AND COULD SIMPLY BE RESOLVED BY ADDING AN EMERGENCY RELEASE OF SOME SORT! OF COURSE THE COST OF REPLACING A SEAT BELT IS MILD COMPARED TO A LIFE OF A HUMAN BUT STILL IT COULD BE PREVENTED 100% BY AN EMERGENCY RELEASE.

I THINK THE VISIBILITY OF THE GEAR SELECTOR ON THE DASHBOARD IS VERY POOR. WHEN I AM SITTING IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT, I CAN NOT SEE WHAT GEAR THE CAR IS IN BECAUSE THE STEERING WHEEL IS IN THE WAY OF THE DASHBOARD. THE GEAR SHIFT ON THE DASHBOARD HAS NO LABELS TO LET YOU KNOW WHAT GEAR IT IS IN. I AM ATTACHING A PICTURE OF MY VIEW THAT DOCUMENTS THE PROBLEM. I HAVE NOT HAD A CRASH BUT HAVE TO BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN I AM BACKING UP THAT I HAVE THE CAR IN THE RIGHT GEAR. THIS ISSUE WOULD BE IN EFFECT EVERY TIME A GEAR IS SHIFTED. IT IS A CONSTANTLY OCCURRING ISSUE.
