2016 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY Complaints

TOTAL LOSS OF POWER STEERING WHEN THE CAR HAS BEEN DRIVEN THROUGH STANDING RAINWATER AS HAPPENS DURING RAINFALL

FRONT DRIVER SEAT NOT STABLE. SEAT MOUNTING LOOSE . YOU CAN FEEL SEAT SHAKE AND HEAR IT SQUEAK WHEN DRIVING VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE REGISTERED THE INCORRECT GEAR. PRIOR TO THAT, THE VEHICLE COULD NOT BE DE-POWERED UNTIL AFTER NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION AND THE SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE VEHICLE COULD NOT BE STARTED THREE WEEKS LATER. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER AGAIN WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT A 13MM NET WAS LOOSE, THE BOLT NEEDED TO BE TIGHTENED, AND THE WIRE HARNESS NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 31511387. THE CONTACT TRIED TO RETURN THE VEHICLE FOR TRADE-IN OR REIMBURSEMENT, BUT WAS INFORMED BY THE MANUFACTURER THAT CHRYSLER WOULD CONTINUE TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE UNDER WARRANTY UNTIL THE WARRANTY EXPIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 64,002.

WE HAD JUST TURNED INTO OUR SUBDIVISION AND ALL THE LIGHTS IN THE DASH ILLUMINATED, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS TURNED ON AND THEN WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. WE WERE TRAVELING AT A LOW SPEED SO WHEN THE VAN CAME TO A STOP WE WERE ABLE TO RESTART IT. THE DEALERSHIP DIDN'T SOUND TO CONCERNED AND ARE GOING TO LOOK AT THE VAN ON THURSDAY. I'M EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED WITH THEIR RESPONSE AS THIS COULD HAVE EASILY HAPPENED WITH MY KIDS IN THE CAR WHEN IT WAS TRAVELING AT A HIGHER RATE OF SPEED.

"TAKATA RECALL"... I BOUGHT 2016 CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY TOURING COUPLE OF MONTHS BACK & IT'S HAVE 27,500 MILES ON IT. SINCE I START DRIVING THIS CAR IT'S HAVING AN ISSUE WITH SHIFTING THE GEARS. THE RPM GOES UP TO 4000 TO 5000 RPM & THEN IT'S START SHIFTING THE GEARS ALSO WHEN I DRIVE THE CAR ON HIGHWAY AND PUT CAR ON CRUISE CONTROL THE RPM STAYS NEAR BY 3000 TO 4000RPM. WHEN I PRESS THE ACCELERATOR IT'S NEVER TAKE QUICK PICK IT'S ALWAYS TAKE LONG TIME FOR PICK THE SPEED AND THE ENGINE OR TRANSMISSION MAKE SOME HEAVY NOISE. I TOOK THE CAR AT CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP & AS PER THEM THERE IS NO PROBLEM AT ALL BUT SERIOUSLY I'M NOT SURE THEY CHECKED MY CAR PROPERLY OR NOT. AS PER ME THE GEAR IS NOT SHIFTING SMOOTHLY & QUICKLY AS IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE. *TR

CPSC: THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS BLINKING AND THE VAN KEPT STALLING. THEN THERE WAS THE PROBLEM WITH THE SLIDING DOOR FLEW OPEN WHILE DRIVING. *BF THE DEALER FOUND THE RIGHT SIDE SLIDING DOOR HANDLE BUTTON WAS STICKING. THEY REPLACED THE HANDLE AND RE-INSTALLED A TOP HINGE. THE CONSUMER HAD TO RETURN TO THE DEALER FOR A SECOND TIME, BECAUSE THE RIGHT SLIDING DOOR WAS MAKING A NOISE AND IT STILL WAS NOT LATCHING PROPERLY. AGAIN, THE DEALER ADJUSTED THE TOP DOOR ROLLER, CLEARED AND LUBED THE TRACKS. THE NEXT DAY, THERE WAS STILL A NOISE IN THE DOOR AND IT WAS STILL NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. THE DEALER REPLACED THE TOP, SLIDING ROLLER AGAIN. FOUR DAYS LATER, THE DOOR DIDN'T WORK AT ALL AND HAD NO MOTOR FUNCTION AND DID NOT WORK. *JB

ALL OF THE WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH CAME ON, TACHOMETER AND SPEEDOMETER CEASED TO WORK EVEN THOUGH THE MOTOR KEPT ON RUNNING. CAR WAS TOWED TO LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER. A WEEK LATER THEY TOLD ME THE RADIO SHORTED OUT AND THIS CAUSED THE DASH LIGHTS TO MALFUNCTION. THE RADIO WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY AND THE PROBLEM HAS NOT REOCCURRED YET.

THE "SERVICE TIRE" WARNING LIGHT ACTIVATES AND THE INFORMATION CENTER DOES NOT HAVE AN AIR PRESSURE READING FOR THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE. THE WARNING ACTIVATES AFTER DRIVING FOR SOME MILES AND THEN GOES OFF WITHIN TWO MINUTES. DEALERSHIP SAYS THE SENSOR IS WORKING AND THERE ARE NO "CODES" TO CHECK. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR A MONTH. TIRE PRESSURE IS FINE.

VEHICLE HAS HAD REPEATED ISSUES WITH ACCELERATION AND SHIFTING GEARS SINCE PURCHASE. VEHICLE WILL NOT ACCELERATE OVER 40 MPH WHILE DRIVING AND RPMS REDLINE. IT HAS BEEN IN FOR REPAIR FOR OVER 40 DAYS SINCE MARCH 2016 AND IS CURRENTLY AT DEALERSHIP. MOST RECENTLY THE VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER, INCLUDING ABILITY TO STEER AND BRAKE PROPERLY, AFTER BEING IN REVERSE BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY. DURING THE LAST TWO INCIDENTS, NO WARNING LIGHTS HAVE ILLUMINATED, NOR HAVE THERE BEEN ANY FAULT CODES FOUND IN THE VEHICLE'S SYSTEM. THE VAN IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE AND UNRELIABLE, AND IS A DANGER TO MYSELF AND THREE YOUNG CHILDREN - AS WELL AS OTHER VEHICLES ON THE ROAD. I HAVE REQUESTED ARBITRATION UNDER NEW YORK STATE'S LEMON LAW AND I HAVE ATTACHED A COPY OF PAPERWORK RECENTLY SUBMITTED. THE PDF DESCRIBES, IN GREATER DETAIL, THE ONGOING ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE, AS WELL AS CHRYSLER'S REPEATED ATTEMPTS TO SERVICE IT WITHOUT SUCCESS. SINCE VEHICLES ARE MASS PRODUCED, I WORRY THAT OTHER CONSUMERS ARE EXPERIENCING THESE SAME DANGEROUS ISSUES, WITH NO REMEDY IN SIGHT. THANK YOU FOR LOOKING INTO THIS MATTER. *TR
