2013 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY Complaints

Everyone is having problems with fuel pump relay. Mine is constantly running and draining battery. I have been pulling the fuse everytime I get out of vehicle. There are multiple vehicle jeeps and others that have this same relay and some have been recalled. There has been recalls on plastic part on back lift gates that might come off and hit people. This is fuel.

In two separate incidents on 5/4/23 and 5/5/23, while DRIVING, the vehicle has stalled without warning. The engine completely shut off. Power steering and breaks stopped functioning properly making it VERY difficult to pullover and stop. Once pulled over, had to place the vehicle in park, completely turn off the electrical and restart the vehicle. No warning lamps or messages appeared before or after the incident. The vehicle has been displaying some issues starting recently, especially when using the push button. However, we have always been able to get it to start by inserting the key. This is an incredibly dangerous situation for the driver and any occupants as it has happened without warning while driving on highways which could very easily result in an accident if unable to pullover safely or stop if the breaks are not working. The vehicle has not yet been inspected, but we plan to get it inspected as soon as possible.

The van has repeatedly (5 seperate times) stalled in the middle of driving. The electronics will remain on, but the power steering goes out and the van decelerates to a complete stop. When I try to start the van immediately after, the ignition turns over, but the engine does not start. After a period of 10-30 minutes the van will start up fine. We’ve had the van to our mechanic and there are no codes. The first time it stalled in the middle of a 2 lane road, on a blind curve, with no shoulder to pull off on. The second time was on interstate 75. I now know when it happens to start searching for a safe place to pull off the road, however once it happens I am limited on the distance the van will travel before it stops. Depending on the seed I’m traveling it’s usually only a couple hundred feet.

My back driver side sliding door stopped working and I had to remove my grandchild from the window because the car was loaded and packed for a trip. Then about 5 months after the door stopped my passenger and driverside windows would roll down and immediately back up and then down and not close. This caused extreme cold for passengers in the vehicle since we were driving in bad weather and could not stop to try to get them rolled up. Having only 1 back door that works makes it completely impossible to load and unload my family and it bothers me if there were an emergency and had to exit vehicle I wouldn't be able to get all my grandkids out in a timely manner. When I pull up to a construction zone and have to stop I have to open my door to hear to talk to them which caused them to tell me to stay in vehicle and they get scared for my safety with my door open. I cannot communicate with drive up tellers and it is impossible to order from a drive thru when I have to open door or if I get pulled over by a cop and he tells me to roll window down I have to open door and he takes secure measures thinking I am going to do something bad when I have to talk to him with door open cause windows don't work. Then about 3 months ago the same noise and situation started happening with the back 2nd row windows and therefore I have not been able to use any windows in my van because I am scared they will remain open and my vehicle will be a target for theft or vandalism

I got my 2013 chrysler town and country of a local used car dealership. I’ve had it almost 2 years. The transmission is now going out. I’ve been told it’s probably a design flaw inside the transmission as so many other people are having the same problems with the 62te transmissions. It has 102,000 miles. I got it it when it had 90,000. There is no warranty.

The van will randomly shut off while driving. it may happen out of the blue while on the highway, hitting a bump, or even driving at slow speeds. The instrument panel remains on, I can put the van in neutral while still moving and restart the van. Sometimes it happens multiple times a week, sometimes it happens only a few months. There are no check engine light on or anything else.

The contact owns a 2013 Chrysler Town & Country. The contact stated while driving at approximately 35 MPH he noticed that the "check engine" warning was illuminated. The contact had taken the vehicle to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed and determined that the oil pressure sensor and the oil housing needed to be replaced. The contact was advised by the mechanic that the oil sensor failure was a common failure for his year, make, and model. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 122,000.

The contact owns a 2013 Chrysler Town and Country. The contact stated while placing the car seat in the third row and attempting to latch the seat belt, the seat belt failed to latch as needed. The dealer was contacted and recommended having a Fire Station install the car seat in the vehicle. The manufacturer was contacted, and a case was filed. The failure mileage was 70,000. The VIN was not available.

This issue has to do with the ignition switch. While driving, the car would randomly shut completely off causing a loss of power to the electrical systems, power steering, effective braking, etc. This has occurred several times. Once while driving at night, the vehicle completely shut off while driving at approximately 60mph, causing the headlights to shut off and the power to completely cut off. This can be extremely dangerous and even deadly. My safety was put at risk as I loss my vision(without headlights) and losing power(steering, engine, etc.) caused me to veer into the incoming traffic lane. A head-on collision could have occurred due to a loss of control. The issue is intermittently and cannot be intentionally replicated. However, it has occurred numerous times. The component has not been inspected by the manufacturer. There is no warning indicators when the problem occurs. It usually occurs suddenly without hindsight. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request.

Fuel pump continues to run after shut down, draining battery. Related to my other report (11498461).
