1 WEEK AFTER I BOUGHT MY VAN THE CAR STARTED VIBRATING WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED (WAITING AT THE LIGHT). I WENT TO THE DEALER TO ASK THEM IF THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM THEY FIRST SAY THAT THERE WAS NO PROBLEM AND THEN I READ THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR SOME VEHICLES HAVING DEBRIS ON THE ENGINES, SO THEY REPLACED HALF OF THE HEADS IN THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE STOPPED VIBRATING, BUT THEN I NOTICE THAT WHEN SPEEDING OR SLOWING DOWN THE VEHICLE DOES NOT RESPONDS TO THE CHANGE IN GEARS OR ISN?T ACCELERATING LIKE IT SHOULD. ALSO WHILE COMING TO A STOP THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT DOWNSHIFT CAUSING THE CAR TO LUNGE FORWARD. IT WOULD VIBRATE WHEN COMING TO STOP. *TR

THE REAR-LIFTGATE OF OUR 2012 CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY SLAMMED SHUT ON APRIL 11, 2014. THANKFULLY, WE WEREN'T UNDERNEATH IT AT THE TIME. BOTH STRUTS GAVE OUT AT THE SAME TIME. WE TOOK IT IN FOR SERVICE ON APRIL 12, 2014 AND I DESCRIBED TO THE SERVICE MANAGER HOW DANGEROUS THIS PROBLEM MIGHT BE, SHOULD SOMEONE BE UNDER THE LIFTGATE. THAT LIFTGATE IS 400 LBS., COMING DOWN RAPIDLY AND SLAMMING SHUT. HE NOTED THAT HE WOULD DISCUSS IT "UP HIS CHAIN" AT CHRYSLER AND ADVISED THAT I DISCUSS MY CONCERN WHEN I GET SURVEYED FROM MY SERVICE CALL. I'VE YET TO BE SURVEYED, SO HE PROVIDED ME WITH YOUR CONTACT INFORMATION. I AM FEARFUL THAT SOMEONE MAY GET SERIOUSLY HURT BY THIS SLAMMING LIFTGATE. FOR US, WE WILL NO LONGER WALK UNDERNEATH THE LIFTGATE AS IT IS RAISING UP, UNTIL IT IS FULLY OPEN AND STOPPED. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND MY DRIVERS SIDE BLIND SPOT DETECTOR CAME ON. SO I WAITED FOR THE CAR TO PASS. NO ONE WAS THERE. THEN A CAR PASSED AND THE DETECTOR WENT OFF. THE DETECTOR CAME ON AGAIN AND NO ONE WAS THERE. THE CONTINUED TO GO IN AND OFF EVEN WITH THE WIRE BARRIER. DRIVING IN TOWN PASSING A TREE WITH MY BLINKER ON IT WOULD LIGHT UP AND DING AT ME. I BECAME FRUSTRATED AND LESS THAN A WEEK LATER BOTH LIGHTS CAME ON AND TOLD ME TO SERVICE BLIND SPOT DETECTION AND THAT IT WAS UNAVAILABLE. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WAS TOLD IT WAS A POSSIBLE UPDATE (I'M SICK OF UPDATES). COME TO FIND OUT THE DRIVERS SIDE BLIND SPOT DETECTOR TOOK A CRAP. I'M STILL UNDER WARRANTY SO IT WILL BE FIXED. I'VE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEM WITH MY TOWN AND COUNTRY SINCE I GOT IT ALMOST 2 YEARS AGO. DAMAGED KEY WARNING, KEY LEFT VEHICLE WHEN IT'S SITTING RIGHT NEXT TO ME, SLIDING DOORS OPEN AND JUST CLICKS, BLIND SPOT DETECTION ALREADY TOOK A CRAP, REMOTE START STOPPED WORKING HAS SINCE BEEN FIXED WITH "UPDATE", PUSH BUTTON WOULD SHOW IT WAS STARTED BUT IT WASN'T WENT TO START IT AND THE ENGINE GOT STUCK JUST TURNING OVER, GOING TO ACCELERATE AND THE ENGINE ACCELERATES AND GETS STUCK IN A HIGHER GEAR AND TAKES A WHILE TO SHIFT DOWN UNLESS YOU PUSH THE BRAKE AND SLOW DOWN, GO TO RESUME CRUISE CONTROL ONLY 2-3MPH AWAY FROM MY SET SPEED AND IT ACCELERATES TO 3-5 MPH ABOVE MY SET SPEED. IF I HAD IT IN THE SHOP EVERY TIME SOMETHING WAS WRONG I WOULD NEVER HAVE IT. I HAVE 2 CHILDREN AND WORK FULL TIME. I DON'T HAVE THE TIME TO BE WITHOUT A RELIABLE VEHICLE. I HAVEN'T TAKEN IT IN EVERY TIME SO I MADE A LIST THE LAST TIME AND BUT EVERYTHING WASN'T FIXED. KEEP GETTING TOLD OF "UPDATES" REALLY? WOW. FOR THE PRICE I PAID I WOULD THINK SHE SHOULD RUN PERFECT FOR AT LEAST A FEW YEARS WITH REGULAR MAINTENANCE. I'M NOT IMPRESSED WITH CHRYSLER THIS FAR. *TR

I OWN A 2012 CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY. WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD MY BLIND SPOT INDICATOR LIGHTS UP BOTH ON THE MIRRORS AND THE DASH. IT CONTINUES TO DING, CHIME AND LIGHT UP WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I WAS INFORMED THAT I HAD TO REPLACE THE BLIND SPOT INDICATOR AND THAT I HAD TO PAY TO HAVE THIS REPLACED. I HAVE 48,500 ON MY VEHICLE THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED. THIS IS DEFINITELY A PROBLEM AS THERE WAS ANOTHER CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY AT THE DEALERSHIP AT THE SAME TIME MINE WAS FOR THE SAME ISSUE. *TR

WHEN IT IS COLD AND ICY THE SLIDING DOORS ARE INOPERABLE, EITHER MANUALLY OR ELECTRONICALLY. IF YOU ARE OUTSIDE YOU CANNOT GET IN, IF YOU ARE INSIDE YOU ARE STUCK THERE UNLESS YOU ARE AGILE ENOUGH TO CRAWL OVER THE FRONT SEATS. HOPEFULLY IN AN ACCIDENT THE DOORS WOULD BREAK LOOSE. MY DEALER WAS UNABLE TO SUGGEST ANY RESOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM. *TR
