2009 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY Complaints

I WAS COMING OUT OF THE JOINED DRIVEWAY AT MY IN LAWS HOUSE WHEN I CAME TO A BLIND CURVE I SAW THE FRONT PART OF THE PLOW COMING IN AT ME. I THEN STARTED BRAKING AND SLIDING ON THE ICE AND SNOW. IT LOOKED AS IF HE WAS BACKING A LITTLE SO I LET OFF BRAKES AND THEN SAW HE STARTED COMING FORWARD AGAIN I BRAKE AGAIN AND WE COLLIDED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AFTER PLACING THE GEAR IN PARK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED OR DIAGNOSED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

WE BOUGHT THIS BRAND NEW AND HAVE HAD TO REPLACE BOTH BRAKES AND ROTORS 2-3 TIMES PER YEAR DUE TO SHAKING/WOBBLING WHEN APPLIED. THE FACT THAT CHRYSLER EXTENDED THE WARRANTY FOR BRAKES ADMITS LIABILITY, BRAKE SYSTEM SHOULD BE RECALLED AND FIXED, IS CHRYSLER WAITING FOR A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT??? WHEN I LOOK AT THESE FORUMS IT SEEMS ALL OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE, THAT IS A PROBLEM!!!! THIS VEHICLE IS MARKETED AS A FAMILY VAN FOR GOODNESS SAKE!! TAKE RESPONSIBILITY CHRYSLER!!! *TR

ON AROUND NOVEMBER 18, 2013, ABOUT A WEEK AFTER TRIP TO CHICAGO AND DURING AN OVERNIGHT COLD SNAP (ABOUT 25 DEGREES FROM 45), WAS PULLING OUT OF DRIVEWAY WHEN I PUT MY FOOT ON GAS PEDAL IT MADE A SOUND AS IF THE GAS WASN'T REACHING THE NECESSARY AREA TO MAKE IT MOVE FORWARD--THE ESP/BAS LIGHTS AND THE TRACTION LIGHT LITE UP. I PUSHED GAS PEDAL AGAIN AND IT MADE THE SAME SOUND BUT THE CAR MOVED A LITTLE FASTER AS I ROLLED ONTO THE STREET. THE LIGHTS FROM ESP/BAS AND TRACTION STAYED ON. DROVE ABOUT 10 MILES TO WORK. NO OTHER INCIDENT WITH GAS PEDAL BUT LIGHTS STAYED ON. ON DECEMBER 2, THE SAME INCIDENT HAPPENED WITH THE GAS PEDAL, BUT ONLY AFTER I HAD DRIVEN ABOUT A MILE. I PUT MY FOOT ON PEDAL AND GAS GURGLED AND THE ESP/BAS AND TRACTION LIGHTS CAME ON WHILE THE CAR SEEMED TO WANT TO USE IT'S TRACTION EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS NO SNOW OR ICE ON THE GROUND. TOOK TO DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE ANGLE SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THAT THE CLOCK SPRING WAS DEFECTIVE. STATED NOT UNDER THE LIFE TIME POWER TRAIN AND NO RECALLS. *TR

THE DOORS RANDOMLY OPEN ON THEIR OWN. THE CAR WILL BE TURNED OFF, NO ONE HAS THE KEY, AND THE DOOR WILL COME OPEN. I HAVE HAD TWO NEW BATTERIES WITHIN THE LAST YEAR AND THE CAR CONSTANTLY WILL NOT START ESPECIALLY IF IT IS COLD OUT. WHILE DRIVING, THE HAZARD LIGHTS WILL FLASH. *TR

WAS DRIVING ABOUT 20 TO 30 MPH, CROSSING OVER RAILROAD TRACKS THE VEHICLE CUT OUT AND COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. HAD TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND ATTEMPT TO RESTART. IT RESTARTED AND DID NOT HAPPEN FOR A WHILE. THIS HAPPENS ON OCCASION AND IS AN ON GOING PROBLEM. HAD IT IN TO CHRYSLER DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. *TR

I HAD THREE COOPER DEVELOP BUBBLES IN THE SIDE WALLS. WHEN I CONTACTED COOPER TIRE CORPORATE CUSTOMER SERVICE THEY DENIED HAVING ISSUES. HOW COULD 3 OUT OF 4 TIRES GO BAD WITH BUBBLES IN THE SIDEWALLS AND NOT HAVE SAFETY AND OR QUALITY ISSUES? I FEEL THAT COOPER TIRE IS NOT TELLING ME THE WHOLE STORY. *TR

I WAS UNSCREWING THE PLASTIC TIRE VALVE CAP AND THE TIRE VALVE STEM BROKE OFF IN MY HAND. AIR LEAKED OUT OF THE TIRE UNTIL THE TIRE WAS FLAT. AFTER CHANGING THE TIRE TO THE SPARE TOOK THE TIRE TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT NEEDED A $100+ TPMS SENSOR REPLACEMENT. THIS IS THE 2ND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED ON THIS VEHICLE. THE FIRST WAS HANDLED UNDER WARRANTY. THESE VALVE STEMS BREAK OFF EASILY, AND MAKE THE CAR UNDRIVABLE. *TR

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING OUR 2009 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTY DOWN THE ROAD WHEN THE VANS ENGINE COMPLETELY TURNED OFF AS IF SHE SHUT THE IGNITION DOWN. THANKFULLY MY WIFE WAS ABLE TO COAST INTO A PARKING AREA WHERE AFTER SOME TIME SHE WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VAN AND PROCEED ON HER WAY. NUMEROUS TIMES I HAVE TRIED TO START THE VAN AND THE ENGINE WOULD NOT TURN OVER UNTIL THE KEY WAS TAKEN OUT AND FLIPPED AROUND AND THEN IT WOULD START. TWO DAYS AGO THE VAN WOULD NOT START AT ALL BUT ALL IF THE KEY FOB FUNCTIONS WORKED AND ALL OF THE ELECTRICAL GAUGES CAME ON. AFTER THE VAN WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP I WAS CONTACTED AND TOLD THAT A NEW WIN MODULE AND KEY FOBS WOULD HAVE TO BE PURCHASED COSTING APPROXIMATELY 800 DOLLARS. *TR

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND VEHICLE SHUT OFF CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO LOSE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER, PUT IT IN PARK AND STARTED BACK UP AGAIN. DEALER ADVISED THAT APPEARS TO BE THE WIN MODULE (IGNITION) AND THAT IT IS ON BACK ORDER WITH CHRYSLER AND CANNOT EVEN ORDER THE PART WITHOUT CONTACTING CHRYSLER. THEY CONTACTED CHRYSLER WHO INFORMED THEM THAT PART WOULD NOT BE RELEASED AT THIS TIME AND WOULD HAVE TO WAIT DUE TO OTHER VEHICLES AHEAD OF OURS BEING AFFECTED. NO ESTIMATED TIME IT WOULD BE RECEIVED. WIFE IS AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND RIGHTFULLY SO AS THIS COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT IF IT OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING ON AN INTERSTATE OR AROUND A TURN. *TR
