TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 14V234000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) AND STATED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. THE DEALER DID NOT PROVIDE A SPECIFIC DATE FOR WHEN THE PARTS WOULD BECOME AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALSO CONTACTED AND COULD NOT PROVIDE AN ESTIMATED DATE FOR WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD RECEIVE THE RECALL REPAIRS. THE CONTACT WAS NOT EXPERIENCING A FAILURE.

I JUST GOT THE VEHICLE BACK FROM HAVING REPAIRS AND THE UCONNECT DIDN'T WORK ALREADY. (WHICH THEY CLAIMED TO HAVE FIXED DIDN'T WORK AGAIN AFTER ONLY 20 MINUTES) I DROVE IT BACK AND LEFT IT FOR DIAGNOSIS. THEY DIAGNOSED :SOP SPECIAL PARTS ORDERED. AND I WAS TOLD NOT TO TURN ON DVD PLAYER UNTIL PARTS CAME IN. *TR

HAVING HAD THIS PROBLEM BEFORE AND BEING TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP ,THEY COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM, I THOUGHT MAYBE IT WAS THEY KEY FOB SO I PAID TO HAVE A NEW ONE MADE. THEN THE PROBLEM STILL CONTINUED AND PROGRESSED: NOW NOT ONLY WOULD THE CAR GO CRAZY WITH ALL LIGHTING AND POWER INSIDE TURNING OFF AND WIPERS GOING CRAZY, BUT NOW WHENEVER THE NEW KEY FOB WAS USED FROM THE OUTSIDE IT WOULD NOT UNLOCK THE DOORS BUT THE DASH WOULD LIGHT UP. THE UCONNECT ALSO STOOPED WORKING COMPLETELY! DEALER DIAGNOSED: KEY FAILING FAULT STORED FOR KEY IN SYSTEM THAT IS FAILING,1 56046708AE TRASNMTR-INTEGRATED KEY FOB ,CUT NEW KEY AND PROGRAM TO VEHICLE. 15 AMP FUSE BLOWN, CHECKED WIRING G AND FOUND LISTING FOR 20 AMP FUSE. REPLACED FUSE AND TEST OPERATION.(SINCE I NEVER REPLACED ANY FUSES, I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE THEY ARE. I HAVE TO ASSUME THE WRONG FUSE WAS PUT IN EITHER DURING MANUFACTURING OR BY A DEALERSHIP) NOTE: THIS DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM VEHICLE WENT BACK YET AGAIN. SEE ADDITIONAL COMPLAINTS. *TR

KEY FOB STOPPED WORKING AND ALL WIPERS WENT OFF ON THEIR OWN AND WOULD NOT TURN OFF. THE ELECTRONIC VEHICLE MONITORING SYSTEM WENT OFF TOTALLY. ALL LIGHTS AND POWER(RADIO WINDOW CONTROLS ETC) INSIDE THE CAR TURNED OFF. THE HEADLIGHT WENT OFF. THEN FINE FOR ABOUT A WEEK K THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID: CHECKED GROUNDS TO CLUSTER. FUSES ARE WORKING PROPERLY,SO NO REPAIRS MADE AT THIS TIME. A DAY LATER ALL OF THE ABOVE HAPPENED AGAIN! THEN AGAIN AND AGAIN. ON AND OFF THIS WENT FOR A FEW DAYS, UNTIL I COULD GET IT BACK IN YET AGAIN TO GET LOOKED AT......NOTHING IS FIXED. *TR

THE BLIND SPOT MONITORING SYSTEM WENT CRAZY. IT WENT ON, THE LIGHT TURNED ORANGE AND JUST STAYED ON AND BEEPED REPEATEDLY EVEN WHEN IN PARK. THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM SO THEY SENT IT TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP,ON 6/20/14 WHO DIAGNOSED: BOTH BLIND SPOT MONITORS SHORTED PART OF MIRRORS. IT WENT IN FOR REPAIRS: REPLACEMENT OF L/R INDICATOR SENSORS ON 7//7/14 . THIS WAS JUST THE BEGINNING OF THE PROBLEMS TO COME. *TR

I HAVE A 2012 CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY AFFECTED BY NHTSA RECALL 14V234000 DATED MAY 2014 FOR RISK OF ELECTRICAL FIRE. I HAVE CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES AND AM TOLD EACH TIME THAT REPAIR PART IS STILL UNAVAILABLE. MANUFACTURER RECOMMENDS DISABLING THE SWITCH TO REDUCE RISK OF ELECTRICAL FIRE BUT THIS RENDERS WINDOWS INOPERABLE AND I FIND IT AN UNACCEPTABLE LONG-TERM SOLUTION. I CALLED THE CHRYSLER RECALL HOTLINE ON NOVEMBER 26, 2014 (MORE THAN 6 MONTHS AFTER RECALL) AND WAS TOLD THERE IS STILL NO ESTIMATED TIME OF ARRIVAL FOR REPAIR PART. I BELIEVE MANUFACTURER HAS FAR EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR RECALL REPAIR. *TR

UPON ACCELERATING FROM A GREEN LIGHT, THE RPMS JUMPED AS IF I PUSHED THE PEDDLE TO THE FLOOR. AS SOON AS I TOUCH THE ACCELERATOR THIS HAPPENED SO I LET GO OF THE PEDDLE AND THE RPM CONTINUED TO RISE AND THE CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE. I SLAMMED THE BREAKS AND FOR A FEW MOMENTS I WAS USING THE BREAKS TO FIGHT THE ACCELERATION OF THE VEHICLE. AFTER ABOUT 20 SECONDS OF THIS ACCELERATING THE PROBLEM STOPPED ON ITS OWN AND I COULD TAKE OVER CONTROL AGAIN. THIS SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN ON NOVEMBER 15TH AND ON THIS DAY IT OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. *TR
