WE PAID OVER 3000.00 TO GET REPAIRED.....WE FOUND OUT THAT THIS COULD CAUSE THE AUTO TO START ON FIRE ...AND ENDANGER OUR HOUSE WHEN PARKED IN THE GARAGE...WHY WASNT THERE A RECALL FOR THIS PART ?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START-UP. THE CONTACT CHARGED THE BATTERY FULLY HOWEVER, THE ENGINE STILL FAILED TO TURN OVER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT. THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. NAPLES DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM (6381 AIRPORT-PULLING RD, NAPLES, FL 34109, (239) 296-2404) WAS CONTACTED AND MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO BE DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 84,000.

2011 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY WITH 97,983 MILES. WHILE STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE TRANSMISSION STOPPED WORKING AND THE VAN WOULD NOT MOVE. WAITED INTO THE NIGHT FOR A TOW TRUCK TO TOW US TO A REPAIR SHOP. THE TRANSMISSION FAILURE IS A KNOWN ISSUE BUT NO RECALL ISSUED FROM CHRYSLER. STUCK WITH A $3,338.92 BILL FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION.

2011 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY WITH 114,212 MILES. WHILE PARKED, THE CAR ACTS AND SOUNDS LIKE IT WANTS TO, BUT WILL NOT START. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A BAD TIPM (TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE) AND FUEL PUMP RELAY. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND THE SAME ISSUE IN RECALL P54/NHTSA 14V-530 FOR THE DURANGO AND GRAND CHEROKEE LAWSUIT SETTLEMENT BUT FOR SOME REASON THE TOWN AND COUNTRY AND OTHER CHRYSLERS PETITIONS WERE DENIED. AFTER TALKING TO CHRYSLER, THEY ONLY SUGGESTED THAT I KEEP MY RECEIPTS IN CASE IT WAS ACCEPTED AS A RECALL BUT WOULD NOT GIVE ANY FINANCIAL HELP ON A $1400 REPAIR BILL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SHUT-OFF WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE SOON AFTER FAILURE. THE CONTACT HAD TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO DAVIS CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (464037 E STATE RD 200, YULEE, FL 32097) WHERE HE WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT UNDER RECALL. THE CONTACT ALSO SPOKE TO JACKSONVILLE CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM (11101 NURSERYFIELDS DR, JACKSONVILLE, FL 32256) AND WAS PROVIDED THE SAME INFORMATION AS THE OTHER DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND A CASE WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 152,000.

WHEN DRIVING ON HIGHWAY VEHICLE WOULD TURN OFF AND SOMETIMES TURN BACK ON IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. VEHICLE WILL NOT START. THERE HAVE BEEN HUNDREDS OF TIMES THAT IT HAS DONE THIS. HAPPENS AT VARIOUS TIMES.

CAR STALLS AND SHUTS OFF, CAR CRANKS BUT WILL NOT START THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES IN THE PAST 24 HOURS, WHILE DRIVING IT WILL UNEXPECTED SHUT OFF, THIS IS A PROBLEM RELATED TO THE TIPM WHICH HAS BEEN RECALLED IN OTHER 2011 MODEL VEHICLES SUCH AS THE JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE AND DODGE DURANGO. I HAVE READ FORUMS WHERE OTHER 2011 TOWN AND COUNTRYS ALSO HAD THIS SAME ISSUE.

LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY. TOWED HOME. TRIED TO START AND WOULDN'T TURN OVER. COULD ONLY START IN NUTURAL DROVE TO DEALERSHIP COUKDNT TURN OFF OR WOULDNT START. DIAGNOSED AS THE TIP WENT OUT.

THIS MUST BE A RECALL CONCERN. CHRYSLER REALLY NEEDS TO STEP UP AND TAKE CARE OF THIS TIPM ISSUE. THE MOST COMMON PROBLEM WAS A DEFECTIVE TIPM THAT PREVENTED THE ENGINE FROM STARTING. THIS VAN FAILS WHILE THE CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN. TODAY 1-4-21, THE VAN IS AGAIN AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS FOR THE SAME ISSUE AGAIN AND AGAIN I CAN'T BELIEVE IT. THE TOWN & COUNTRY WOULD BE RUNNING SMOOTHLY ONE DAY AND FAIL TO START THE NEXT DAY. WHY RECALL CONCERNING THEM WAS NEVER ISSUED????

THERE IS A BUZZING NOISE IN THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR THAT HAPPENS SOMETIMES WHEN I OPEN THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE DOOR OR UNLOCK THE DOORS. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY.
