2014 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY Complaints

The oil cooler that is located under the intake manifold has a very bad issue and they crack and almost everyone of the engines like this I called about 9 diff shops and everyone of them told me it was a very common issue the one shop even keeps 5 in stock I already have changed this one but it causes them to leak oil down onto the exhaust and transmission and for some reason or another when ours started to leak badly the transmission acted up and we had to have that rebuilt so on top of the 250 dollar part it also cost almost 5k for a Transmission at same time I feel there needs to be something done about this as it a very bad common issue on all the engines like ours

Rear passenger door is stuck in the locked position and cannot be unlocked manually or with the fob. This is dangerous if children in the rear seats would need to exit the vehicle.

The passenger seat headrest deployed without warning. I slowly pulled out of a parking lot and proceeded down the road. I heard a loud bang and looked over at my daughter to ask what was that. She said ouch my head. I looked at her seat and saw the headrest deployed. I took it to the dealership and they said there wasn’t anything they could do but it was equivalent to an airbag deploying. I called Chrysler and they say my van is out of warranty and they can’t help. This is a known safety issue and yet no recalls have been made. I fear my drivers side headrest will do the same. Someone needs to fix this issue. My daughter has whiplash.

The front head restrains deployed without any impact. One month apart from each other.

I was driving on I95 and the car completely shut down. The RPM went to 0. It started up again after about twenty minutes. I had the car repaired (throttle body replaced) and since that incident I have had this same thing happen four more times. The car seems to “resets” itself. I have had the throttle body replaced twice, the ignition control switch twice, the relay harness and then the relay redone. The van only does this periodically. The dealership had my van for six weeks and “couldn’t duplicate the problem “. This usually happens when driving for over an hour and speeds over 65mph. Last week I was driving to work, eleven miles from home and it happened again. The van restarted after sitting about thirty minutes.

Left head needs to be replaced at just over 100,000 miles...There is a recall for all 3.6L pentastar engines from 2011-2013 but I have seen hundreds of 2014's that have the exact same issue. The recall needs to be expanded to include newer models as well. I was just given a quote of $5,000 to replace the left head.

The rear power outlet caught fire while driving today 03/05/2024. Nothing was plugged in to the outlet.

The contact owns a 2014 Chrysler Town and Country. The contact stated that the TPMS warning light was illuminated and when the tires were rotated, the passenger’s side rear sensors could not be located, failing to identify a low tire pressure failure. The dealer was contact and stated the failure was outside the warranty window and the recall. The contact referenced NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V632000 (Tires) as a possible solution to the failure however, the VIN was not included in the recall. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 119,000.

When vehicle is exposed to consistent sunlight and heat during the spring/summer months, the driver's side power sliding door will not latch properly, causing the door to repeatedly try to latch itself shut. This occurs when opening/closing the door, and also while the vehicle is in motion. For example, if the door is shut properly, and the vehicle goes over a bump or something disrupts the ride, the door will think it is open, the warning light comes on the dashboard, the interior lights activate and the electric latch motor will repeatedly activate until the van thinks the door is closed. Even when parked, I have returned to the vehicle to find the door trying to close itself

While driving on the highway, the passenger side headrest deployed without any warning or accident causing it to. A plastic part that holds a metal bar in place seems to have broken. No one was injured at the time. This seems to be a common problem. Chrysler needs to fix this! Who knows when the driver side one will deploy on its own with no accident.
