2010 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY Complaints

THE DASH LIGHTS AND OTHER ELECTRICALLY POWERED COMPONENTS FLICKER ON AND OFF REPEATEDLY. THIS HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY, WHILE SITTING STILL AND WHILE DRIVING, SOME DAYS NO ISSUE OTHER DAYS NUMEROUS INSTANCES OF THE PROBLEM. THE DEALER SAYS IT IS MOST LIKELY THE TIPM MODULE AND IT WILL COST $1000 PLUS TO REPAIR. AS OF 7-18-16 THE PART IS EXPERIENCING A NATIONAL PART SHORTAGE BECAUSE SO MANY ARE HAVING TO BE REPLACED ON NUMEROUS CHRYSLER JEEP AND DODGE VEHICLES. I HAVE REPLACE THE BATTERY AND NOW ON A WAITING LIST FOR THE TIPM. THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT WAS SATURDAY 7-16-16. THE DASH MUST HAVE GO ON AND OFF 25 OR 30 TIMES AS I DROVE 12 MILES TO THE DEALER. BY THE TIME I ARRIVED IT STOP FLICKERING AND HAS NOT FLICKERED AGAIN THE LAST TWO DAYS,

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE BECAME UNRESPONSIVE AND THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED. THE DEALER, WHO DID NOT SEEM TO CARE ABOUT THE FAILURE, STATED THAT THE VEHICLE COULD BE DIAGNOSED FOR A COST. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V234000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 45,000. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

THIS VEHICLE HAS GIVEN PROBLEMS WITH THE ELECTRICAL SINCE I GOT IN BRAND NEW IN WINTER 2009. WHEN DRIVEN FOR MORE THEN A COUPLE HOURS, ALL THE ELECTRICAL WILL FLASH OFF FOR A FEW SECONDS, TO INCLUDE MY POWER STEERING HEADLIGHTS, DASH LAMPS, ETC. I HAD THE RECALL DONE WHICH REPLACED THE IGNITION SWITCH WHICH SUPPOSEDLY WAS THE PROBLEM. NOW THAT THIS RECALL HAS BEEN DONE, MY KEY GETS STUCK IN MY IGNITION, THE TIRE PRESSURE SYSTEM RANDOMLY TURNS OFF, AND TO TOP IT OFF THE ELECTRICAL STILL FLASHES ON AND OFF AFTER DRIVING FOR MORE THEN AN HOUR OR TWO. THE DEALERSHIP HAS STATED THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT CAUSES THIS AS IT NEVER HAPPENS WHEN THEY TEST DRIVE IT. ANOTHER PROBLEM THAT I'VE HAD SINCE DAY ONE, IS WITH THE TRANSMISSION. WHEN YOU SLOW DOWN TO MAKE A TURN AND PRESS THE GAS TO SPEED BACK UP WITH THE WHEEL STILL TURNED THE TRANSMISSION WILL JERK INTO GEAR. THIS ALSO HAS BEEN LOOKED AT MULTIPLE TIMES AND THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT KNOW WHAT WAS CAUSING IT.

I TOOK MY VAN IN FOR A SIMPLE VALVE CHANGE BECAUSE IT WAS USING A LOT OF OIL ON 2/15/16. A WEEK AND A HALF LATER I RECEIVED MY VAN BACK AND IT STALLED IN FRONT OF A TRACTOR TRAILER TRUCK. VAN WAS RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY CLAIMED TO REPAIR /INSTALL NEW GAS PUMP, EGR VALVE, GASKETS, CRANK SENSORS ETC. I RECEIVED MY VAN BACK ON 4/2 CLAIMING EVERYTHING WAS REPAIRED. THE VAN WAS NO LONGER STALLING. ON 4/3 WHILE DRIVING ON THE PARKWAY, IN HEAVY TRAFFIC MY BRAKES, STEERING WHEEL LOCKED AND VAN SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. JUST MISSED GOING OVER THE GUARD RAIL. AGAIN TOOK TH VAN BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP, CONTACTED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE WHICH MADE THE DEALERSHIP OWNER VERY IRATE. MY VAN WAS IN THE DEALERSHIP FROM 2/15 TO JUNE. I GOT THE RUN AROUND ABOUT WE ARE DOING EVERYTHING TO REPAIR YOUR VEHICLE. GUESS WHAT, IT IS STILL NOT REPAIRED THE VAN CONTINUOUSLY STALL ANYTIME YOU MADE A HARD TURN. IT WAS AT THE POINT OF NO RETURN. THE LONGER THE DEALERSHIP HAD IT THE WORSE THE VAN GOT. MEANWHILE ALL OF THIS EXTRA STRESS IS STARTING TO AFFECT MY HEALTH. I PAID FOR A $42,000 VAN AND EVEN CHRYSLER HAS NO IDEA OF HOW TO FIX IT. I GOT FED UP IN JUNE AND ASKED TO HAVE THE VAN RETURNED BACK TO ME. AFTER MORE THAN 3 MONTHS THEY WERE EVER SO HAPPY TO RETURN THE VEHICLE BACK TO ME. AS OF NOW I STILL DON'T HAVE ALL THE RECEIPTS OF EXACTLY WHAT WAS DONE TO THE VAN. ALL I KNOW IS THAT I WOULD NEVER BUY ANOTHER CHRYSLER AGAIN BECAUSE OF THE TREATMENT RECEIVED AND THEIR UNCARING ATTITUDE ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE. AT THIS POINT I FOUND OUT THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS STALLING ISSUE. I FEEL CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF IT AND DON'T KNOW HOW TO GO ABOUT CORRECTING IT. THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE DEALERSHIP AT THE TIME ON 2/15 FOR A RECALL FOR THE IGNITION NODE(R03). I DON'T KNOW IF THE RECALL INITIATED ALL THE ACTION OR INCOMPETENCE. I HAVE TOWING RECEIPTS IN EXCESS OF 100 MILES.

RANDOM STALLING WHILE DRIVING AND ALSO WHILE IN PARK IDLING. DIFFERENT SYSTEMS ARE EFFECTED. SPEEDOMETER CUTS OUT THEN A DING AND IT COMES BACK. ALSO THE INDICATORS THAT TELL YOU A CAR IS NEXT TO YOU STAY ON. THE INFORMATION CENTER STOPS WORKING. AC STOPS BLOWING THEN COMES BACK. RADIO DOES THE SAME. WHEN IT STALLS SOMETIMES YOU HAVE NO POWER AS IF THE BATTERY HAS BEEN DISCONNECTED. THEN POWER COMES BACK AFTER WHILE AND YOU CAN START THE VAN. THE TRANSMISSION SOMETIMES WILL NOT SHIFT. THE CHARGING SYSTEM LIGHT, TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT, ABS LIGHT COME ON AND THE MILLAGE FLICKERS DIMLY. A LOT OF STRANGE THINGS HAPPENING. THE CHRYSLER DEALER HAS REPLACE THE ALTERNATOR SAYING IT WAS CAUSING HIGH VOLTAGE. DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. NEXT THEY REPLACED THE ABS MODULE SAYING IT WAS SHORTING OUT. DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I AM BRING IT BACK TO THEM. I SUSPECT THAT THE TIPM IS THE ISSUE. I AM A RETIRED ASE CERTIFIED TECHNICIAN IN ENGINE PERFORMANCE, STEERING AND SUSPENSION, BREAKS AND ELECTRICAL.
