I am the original owner of a 2014 Chrysler Town & Country minivan. In the Spring of 2023 I went out to go run and errand and when I got into my van I saw that the headrest on the passenger side front seat had opened up. I tried to close it but it wouldn't move. When I got home I started checking to see what the deal was with the headrest and found out that the headrest had deployed without there being any sort of accident and fortunately there was no one in the seat at the time. Chrysler is not taking any responsibility for the problem. Now I have a failed headrest that is supposed to prevent injuries to passengers that is inoperable. And I have a questionable headrest on my driver's side seat that I don't know when it might decide to deploy one day when I am driving my vehicle. This is totally unresponsible of Chrysler and I think they need to be held responsible for this and replace their headrests at their own expense.

I have a huge issue with the safety of my vehicle. while i am driving the car will race the RPMs up 6,000 up and down while I am going 65 on the highway, but the car down not speed up. the only way to stop it is to pull over the busy highway and restart the van. it will also sometimes drop down in gears and cause the vehicle to skid and shift the back end to the side. I called the deanship and they said the will not help. this is scary for me and my kids. to fix it would be over $5000 and that is more then the van is worth and I think it would be bad to sell it knowing this issue.

1.) my tire pressure warning light remains on and unable to detect if tires are actually low or not. It remains on even when tire pressure is at correct level. I got it checked by mechanic and he agreed that something is wrong with the sensor/system. 2.) both of my side mirror sensors will not turn off. I was driving and they were off (were previously working as normal), but then I went to get into another lane and someone was in my blind spot and I nearly hit them. Now they stay on and aren’t able to be utilized or trusted. There was no prior warning to any of these issues and now my vehicle feels extremely unsafe as I cannot use the safety features nor trust the tire pressure indicator.

The passenger side head rest basically exploded it felt as if we had been rear ended but were not. It threw my head forward my seatbelt locked around my chest and neck we were in stop and go traffic so moving very slowly. My husband was driving he and I had no idea what happened we pulled over and examined it then i used my phone to look it up online. The head rest is supposed to have a safety mechanism similar to an air bag so that on impact it is supposed to release with a spring and bounce back to help prevent neck injury. However I found that Chrysler among other manufacturers opted to use a plastic and aluminum pin system which has been proven to just "let go" for no reason thankfully it was not the driver's side because we would have gone off the road or struck the vehicle in front of us. I had a headache and neck and upper neck pain for a few days but without health insurance i didn't get seen. We are only looking at getting this repaired i have attempted to contact a local dealership to fix it as it is still separated and looks awful. This is a safety issue and we should not have to pay for this repair. We financed the van in June and will be paying for it for the next few years. Thankfully nothing more serious did not happen when it malfunctioned

Drivers rear sliding door is in a locked position and it can not be opened. The dealership said it was a malfunctioned door lock actuator. Its the same part as the 2015 and up actuator that Chrysler extended the warranty on to replace the faulty part. My van falls under the mileage limit, but will not be covered because its a 2014. My opinion is , if the part was found faulty for the 2015 and is the same as the 2014, then the 2014 part is also faulty and should be covered.

2014 Town and Country - 78,000 miles vehicle experiencing crank no start. Known issue and no recall issued by manufacturer for this model.

Before I started the car I tried to open the passenger sliding door but the door would not open with key fob, manually or interior dash button. (Only makes a clicking noise ). Then after driving 5-10 minutes the door opens on its own while driving. Kids and new born in car. Items fell out of car while driving. Interior light came on and my eldest was able to close the door. Very dangerous and distressing!

I drive for Lyft and Uber and have had this vehicle spontaneously shut down while I am driving. I have had three places check it and it is NOT the starter, battery, or alternator. I have replaced the ECU and other items and the mechanics cannot tell me what's wrong. Furthermore, there are NO codes that show on the vehicle. The vehicle on the way to the mechanic shut down in traffic and as per usual, started back up and the traction control light came on. When the mechanic disconnected the positive cable on the battery to check the alternator, battery, and starter the code disappeared and the car drove fine on the way home. I have lost a lot of wages due to this issue and now I am afraid to drive the car. I have seen on several forums that this was an issue in the 2011 recall and now it is happening yet again. My car is a 2014 and others are both older and younger, all suffering from this same very scary detail. I hope I am not injured, nor anyone else will be injured, due to this issue. Mechanics are stumped with the problem. I have contacted an attorney and my next step is to call Chrysler but I do not expect them to address this issue unless or until many people die, are injured and then they get sued. Please let me know what, if anything, else I should do. I am putting you on notice of the issue and it's being widespread. In order to make sure I cover all my bases, this issue has happened now about 4x a week, it is not predictable, nor is it consistent with how fast or how slow I may be driving. I have had plenty of gas in the engine.
