2011 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY Engine Problems

My vehicle has overheating problems ever since I have had it. I have had the thermostat replaced. The sensor thermostat replaced. The radiator flushed and had several shops look at it yet they could find nothing wrong but I go through antifreeze like crazy. At least 1 gallon every month. The temp reads 100 - 180 on hot days and it gets super hot.

The vehicle had a recall that was not satisfied before expiration. The vehicle currently has only 92,135 miles. The car would stall out while driving down the road. The head was manufactured to thin, cylinder misfire. It was very unsafe going up and down the mountains in our area especially. It would not shift after going down an incline. So have to pull over and restart. I called and made a complaint before. We finally saved up enough to pay for the work. I have a receipt for $3219.76. The chrysler recall bulletin is 09-002-14. I contacted Chrysler they just put me to all different people and no one knows. This was a very dangerous situation to drive.

The contact owns a 2011 Chrysler Town and Country. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the vehicle stalled with the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was restarted after a while. The vehicle was taken to Holcombe Automotive, where it was determined that one of the cylinder heads needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the manufacturer for assistance. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the vehicle could not be repaired under TSB Number: D-14-12 because the TSB had expired. The failure mileage was approximately 77,564.

I wrote before about the electrical issue. My husband jumped started my car On 8/28/24. I drove down to my church for a Women's Bible Study. I was there for 2 1/2 hours. When I went to leave my car would not start. I called my son. He jump started my car for me. As I was about to leave after a few minutes my car quit running. As the car was running every electrical component on the dash was going haywire, the heater fan was going full blast, but the windows would not go up. That was irritating as it started to rain. Had to cover the windows. Left the car in parking lot. Next day after church my husband tried to start the car. The car turned over and the battery light was on. Brande new battery was put in that week, As the following we thought that might have been the problem. He jumped started the car same thing as before. We had to have the car flat bedded to the mechanic. The mechanic tested the new alternator that was just put in and said it was bad. Replaced the alternator and car ran. He wanted to see what would happen so he kept car over night. Next morning car would not start. All fuses have been checked, fuse box has been checked. Nobody can seem to figure out what is going on with this vehicle. I have spent over $2000. an to no avail. I am ready to junk this thing. Mu dad said their was a Caravan for sale I just read they have electrical issues also no way.

The contact owns a 2011 Chrysler Town and Country. The contact stated that while driving at 45–50 MPH, the complete electrical system shut down. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic, who stated that the electrical system had shut down. The vehicle failed to turn over and restart.  The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and referred to the NHTSA hotline. The approximate failure mileage was 186,000.

During random times; starting cold, starting warm, coming to a stop, accelarating, on city surface streets or on the freeway, after long drives or just going down the street; the minivan would stall and not restart. Fortunately able to coast to side of road on occassion. Non start condition would last between 15 minutes to days. This last event occured while turning in a busy intersection. Blocked cars and buses in all four directions on a Friday afternoon rush hour, putting ourselves and others at serious risk. There were no warning lights or anything other than a brief shudder before stalling. Roadside service called 911 first to get us out of the way. Towed to local mechanic who duplicated event and found that two separate recalls for faulty fuel pump relay was issued for other models but not our minivan. This family vehicle is now a liability if the fuel pump relay replacement is not made available to us.

The fuel pump is sporadically not getting power. This has left me stranded multiple times. I’m worried that this could happen while driving on the interstate and causing an accident.

Driving 70mph on the interstate when the engine just shuts down ( sudden engine failure ) it is only by the grace of God that it didn't result in a pile-up and injury/loss of life. One of the most fearful experiences that I have ever had happened to me. This is the 2nd instance of sudden engine failure in the past month. On each occasion, I have had the vehicle towed and the mechanics are unable to find the root cause of the problem. I now fear injury/loss of life to myself and or others. I tried calling Chrysler to no avail and i have sent a certified letter to the Chrysler CEO , hristine Feuell with no response so far. The contact stated that they paid to have their vehicle looked at by the dealer. There were unsuccessful in duplicating the issue or finding the cause or a cure. The contact was told to trade in the vehicle. The contact stated after 10 breakdowns and 7 vehicle tows this week someone finally figured out the problem being a DEFECTIVE TIPM module.

The contact owns a 2011 Chrysler Town and Country. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the vehicle hesitated upon depression of the accelerator pedal with several unknown warning lights illuminated. The vehicle had to be jump started to resume normal driving operation. The contact had taken the vehicle to the dealer on multiple occasions where the computer, two alternators, and two batteries were replaced; however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was then taken to an independent mechanic where the repairs were performed; however, the failure persisted. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 167,000.

The contact owns a 2011 Chrysler Town & Country. The contact stated that on numerous occasions while driving at various speeds, the power steering failed. As a result, the steering wheel was difficult to maneuver then the vehicle stalled. The contact stated that he was able to restart the vehicle, but the failure recurred. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the fuel pump relay needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer had been notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 275,000.

"P0740" OBD2 code, causing vehicle to Fail state Safety Inspection. issue is due to a defect within the transmission, very common with the 2011 Chrysler Town & Country. "Dealer Only Repair" , very costly. Serious Safety Issue. Vehicle cannot be diagnosed by most Certified Mechanics. this faulty reading could mask very serious issues with the Transmission. This issue needs to be expedited to review ASAP. Thank You.

2011 Chrysler town and country, starts then shuts off after two seconds. Check engine light came on last night. Remote start disabled. Vehicle will not start via push button, must use key fob in place of pushbutton. Again remote start will not work. Vehicle starts and shuts off right away. From research done, cause being TIPM OR FUEL RELAY.

There is a problem with the engine oil cooler leaking oil on the engine creating a smell of oil burning which is not good to breathe, plus the danger of the engine catching on fire. I am filing this report on 11/28/2021. I replaced this part the first time in July of 2021 and it is once again leaking in November 2021 already. Prior to replacing it the first time, I did some research on the internet only to find that this is common problem with this oil cooler used in Chrysler Engines. (3.6 L) I would think that Chrysler is a ware of this problem. I don't have the first part that failed, but the replacement is leaking also. I have not had this inspected, but as I have already mentioned, there a lot of complaints on the internet of people having this problem. The part Chrysler is using has a plastic base, and the plastic is apparently breaking down. There is an aftermarket replacement available and they describe the problem with the one that Chrysler uses and what they did to correct it. The replaced plastic part with metal.

TIPM is defective causing the car hard starting and stall.The fuel pump relay stays on draining the new battery . The car starts then shuts down after 2 seconds. The sliding doors open and close, horn stops, car alarm stops intermittently. I had to temporarily bypass the fuel pump relay.The cost of the TIPM replacement is $1500

The contact’s daughter owns a 2011 Chrysler Town and Country. The contact stated while driving 25 MPH up an incline, the vehicle stalled without warning. Due to the failure, the contact had the vehicle towed to his home where he inspected the vehicle. The contact discovered that the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) was defective and needed to be replaced. The contact spoke to an independent mechanic who informed him that there was no recall on the vehicle and that he was unaware of any issues with the TIPM. The manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 136,000.

I don't know much about vehicles. So when I get the obd scanned to make sure things are good to sell my van and it throws back many error codes, I was surprised. I thought the vibration/shaking was minor or just because I only had 4 out 6 engine mounts replaced. I was told the tipm was bad, the transmission, the tire pressure sensors don't work. The eco drive doesn't work. I was told that there was a problem with mine that was recalled but only on half of the vehicles and my vin wasn't one of them recalled even though it's the same problem. I was told the main fuse panel under the hood needs replaced. From what I was told, all the needed repairs will cost about as much as I paid for the vehicle itself. There have been lights on the dash since a few days after I bought it but the obd didn't want to put out any reading. I named her Christine because she seems to have a mind of her own. The rpm's go sky high whenever they feel like it so I often have to pull over, turn it off and wait about 5 minutes. I didn't know where to turn to get help with this before it nickel and dimes me into the even more poor house.

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.

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????

WIFE WAS DRIVING. THEN ENGINE WENT TO FULL THROTTLE, WOULD NOT SLOW DOWN. SHE RODE THE BRAKES ALL THE WAY HOME, SWITCHED FROM NEUTRAL TO DRIVE, VAN WOULD JUMP INTO GEAR WHEN SHE WOULD SHIFT BACK TO DRIVE, FELT LIKE BRAKES WERE NOT WORKING WELL ENOUGH (PROBABLY GLAZED). ALMOST WRECKED, COULD HARDLY STOP. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. *TR

OUR 2011 TOWN & COUNTRY STARTED HAVING STARTING/STALLING ISSUES ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO - MIND YOU THERE IS ONLY ABOUT 81K MILES ON THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER FIRST REPLACED THE POWER MODULE IN SEPTEMBER, THEN THE ISSUE RETURNED ONLY TO BE CAUSING MORE ELECTRICAL ISSUES. THE CAR WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER AND IT WAS EXPLAINED THEN THAT THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE POWER MODULE DUE TO A FAULTY RELAY. THIS IS THE EXACT SAME ISSUE THAT OTHER CHRYSLER/DODGE VEHICLES OF THE SAME YEAR ARE BEING RECALLED FOR. THE STALLING WAS DANGEROUS AS IT HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS BEEN A VERY COSTLY PROBLEM WITHOUT A RECALL BEING ISSUED - ALTHOUGH VEHICLES USING THE SAME ENGINE AND COMPONENTS ARE BEING RECALLED. PLEASE HELP ESCALATE THIS.

ON NOVEMBER 14, 2019 I WAS TRAVELING WITH MY 18 YEAR OLD SON TO DETROIT METRO AIRPORT. WE WERE ENTERING THE ENTRANCE RAMP OF I-94 & US 23. WE WERE TRAVELING AT 65MPH. AS I WAS MERGING ONTO I94 TRAFFIC, MY 2011 TOWN & COUNTRY LOST ALL POWER. THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. I WAS UNABLE TO STEER THE CAR, BRAKE THE CAR. I WAS FORTUNATELY NOT INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. I AM NOTING THAT THE ONLY KEY(FOB) ON THE KEY RING WAS THE KEY FOB IT SELF. PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT (PAST 8 YEARS WE'VE OWNED THIS VEHICLE) WE HAVE NEVER ENCOUNTERED SUCH AN INCIDENT. THE VAN DID REQUIRE A TOW AND WE ARE CURRENTLY WAITING ON THE PROBLEM THAT CAUSED THIS INCIDENT FROM THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP IN SALINE, MI (LAFONTAINE CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM SALINE) PHONE # 1-866-593-6805. THE REASON I'M FILING THIS COMPLAINT IS DUE TO NOTICING SEVERAL THOUSAND SIMILAR INCIDENTS FROM VARIOUS CHAT FORUMS. THE KEY FOB SEEMS TO BE A POINT OF INTEREST AS TO WHY THE VEHICLE ALL OF A SUDDEN LOSES POWER AND SHUTS DOWN IN THE ACT OF DRIVING. PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE TO CALL OR EMAIL ME FOR FURTHER INFORMATION OR QUESTIONS REGARDING THIS COMPLAINT. PHONE: ([XXX], EMAIL. [XXX]). INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

MY VAN WITHOUT WARNING STARTED RUNNING ROUGHT IN DRIVE, SHAKING, ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON BLINKING FAST TOOK IT TO MECHANIC. IT SHOWS ALL CYCLINDERS HAVE SEVERE MISFIRING ISSUES. THEY CAN NOT FIGURE OUT WHY AND TOLD ME TO TAKE TO CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP. THIS VAN RUNS CRAPPY HAS NO POWER TO GET TO DEALERSHIP. I WAS ON A CITY STREET TRYING TO DRIVE 20 MILES AN HOUR IT WOULD NOT HARDLY MOVE. I TURNED AROUND AND TOOK IT HOME IT WAS FINE UP UNTIL THIS HAPPENED. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN SOMETHING VERY DANGEROUS IF I WAS ON A HIGHWAY IN HEAVY TRAFFIC.

Mileage: 150,000

I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP, SHIFTED THE VEHICLE IN PARK, THE VEHICLE'S BACK UP CAMERA CAME ON AND IT HAD THE R ILLUMINATED, INDICATING IT WAS IN REVERSE. I TRIED TO SLOWLY STEP ON THE GAS BUT IT WOULD NOT MOVE. I TRIED TO SHIFT TO ANOTHER GEAR AND IT WOULD NOT SHIFT, I SHUT THE VAN OFF, WAITED A FEW MINUTES AND RESTARTED IT. I THEN WAS ABLE TO SLOWLY SHIFT TO DRIVE AND SLOWLY BACK TO PARK AND SHUT VEHICLE OFF. IT HAS A HARD TIME SHIFTING IN LOWER GEARS AS WELL WHILE DRIVING, WHEN YOU DO PUT THE VEHICLE INTO REVERSE IT FEELS LIKE IT DROPS VERY HARD INTO THAT GEAR. NO CODES STORED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2011 CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH, SMOKE WAS SEEN EXITING THE HOOD OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED HE HEARD AN ABNORMAL GRINDING NOISE. THE CONTACT STATED NO WARNING LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO PARK THE VEHICLE ON THE SIDE OF THE ROADWAY, EXITED THE VEHICLE, OPENED THE HOOD AND SAW FLAMES BY THE ALTERNATOR. THE CONTACT STATED HE WAS ABLE TO EXTINGUISH THE FLAMES WITH A BOTTLE OF WATER. THE POLICE AND FIRE DEPARTMENT WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED DICK POE CHRYSLER JEEP (6501 MONTANA AVE, EL PASO, TX 79925, (915) 778-9331) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS A MALFUNCTIONING ALTERNATOR THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED ALONG WITH THE STARTER. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED AS OF YET. THE MANUFACTURER HAS BEEN INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 128,000.

THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START SOMETIMES (THE STARTER CRANKS BUT WON'T START) BUT THEN STARTS A FEW MINUTES LATER AND YOU HAVE NO CLUE WHY, AND SOMETIMES THE LIGHTS COME ON WHILE PARKED AT THE HOUSE AND THEN TURN OFF. OTHER TIMES THE VEHICLE CRANKS UP BUT WILL NOT START AND AFTER RELEASING THE BUTTON IT KEEPS CRANKING UP FOR ABOUT 20 SECONDS? SOUNDS LIKE SOME PROBLEM WITH THE FIRMWARE FOR THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE (TIPM) WHICH IS THE GATEWAY OR DISTRIBUTION BOX FOR NEARLY THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IN LATE-MODEL CHRYSLER PRODUCTS. BECAUSE OF THE INTERMITTENT NATURE (I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING THIS OVER MORE THAN 6 MONTHS AND IT WILL NOT REPEAT AT MY MECHANICS LOCATION) IT IS VERY HARD TO DIAGNOSE TOTALLY. THE ENGINE SEEMS TO BE STARTING TO RUN A LITTLE ROUGHER THAN IT USED TO ALSO. I HAVE OVER 125,000 MILES WITH THE VEHICLE AND IT HAS ALWAYS WORKED GREAT UNTIL THIS INTERMITTENT PROBLEM STARTED. I ALSO WAKE UP MY NEIGHBORS AT DIFFERENT TIMES OF THE NIGHT WHEN THE HORN STARTS GOING OFF AT RANDOM TIMES. THIS ONE PROBLEM HAS BEEN OCCURRING SINCE THE CAR HAD ABOUT 20,000 MILES AND I ATTRIBUTED IT TO THE KEY FOB BUT I AM NOT SO SURE. I HAVE TALKED TO CHRYSLER WHO KEEPS TELLING ME THAT THERE IS NO RECALL SO IF I GO IN I HAVE TO PAY TO GET IT FIXED WHILE I THINK IT IS AN ENGINEERING DESIGN PROBLEM THAT SHOULD BE FIXED AT NO COST. THE DATE BELOW REFLECTS THE LATEST INSTANCE BUT IT HAS HAPPENED A LOT DURING THE PAST FEW YEARS.

VAN HAS HAD A FEW TIMES WHERE IT WILL NOT START, YOU CAN TURN THE KEY ALL THE WAY TO THE ON POSITION, ALL THE LIGHTS/RADIO AND AIR WILL COME ON BUT THE ENGINE FAILS TO START, DOES NOT MAKE A NOISE. AFTER A FEW TRIES IT WILL START. RECENTLY THE KEY GOT STUCK IN THE ON POSITION TO START AND THE ENGINE TRIED STARTING 4 TIMES WHILE STUCK IN THAT POSITION BEFORE IT FINALLY STARTED AND ALMOST QUIT. DID NOT DARE TO TURN VEHICLE OFF DUE TO THE POSSIBILITY IT WOULD NOT START. RESEARCH STATES THE TIPM IS THE CAUSE OF THIS ALONG WITH MULTIPLE ELECTRICAL ISSUES. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED.

I HAVE HAD ELECTRICAL ISSUES SINCE THE BEGINNING OF BUYING OUR VEHICLE BRAND NEW. MOST RECENTLY THE ENGINE STALLED WHILE DRIVING 25MPH, ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND FLASHED BEFORE THE ENGINE STALLED CAUSING POWER STEERING TO FAIL. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THEY COULD NOT FIND AN ISSUE. THE FOLLOWING WEEK, ON 3/16/18 THEY DID AN OIL CHANGE AND AIR FILTER CHANGE, AGAIN DID NOT FIND ANY ISSUES. ON 3/19/18, AS I WAS DRIVING MY 3 KIDS TO SCHOOL, THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON AND I LOST POWER STEERING. I ALMOST CRASHED WITH THE KIDS IN THE CAR DUE TO THIS ISSUE. I ENDED UP DRIVING IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THE POWER BELT WAS COMPLETELY OFF AND THE ALTERNATOR WAS NOT ATTACHED TO THE ENGINE AS IT SHOULD BE. THE BRACKETS THAT HOLD THE ALTERNATOR ON, WAS GONE. THIS WAS THE 3RD TIME THIS MONTH I HAVE BROUGHT THIS VEHICLE IN, WAS TOLD MULTIPLE TIMES THERE WAS NO ISSUE. NOW WE COULD POSSIBLY HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENGINE BLOCK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER IN 2012 AND THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER WAS UNKNOWN. AFTER THE REPAIR, THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO START THE VEHICLE, BUT THE IGNITION WOULD NOT TURN OVER. AFTER A FEW MOMENTS, THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN AND THE RPMS WENT TO ZERO. SUDDENLY, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED INDEPENDENTLY AND THEN DECELERATED WITHOUT DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SEARS AUTO CENTER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE POWER STEERING MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A CHRYSLER DEALER. IT WAS UNKNOWN IF THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 79,949.

THE CAR IS HAVING MAJOR ISSUES WITH THE FUEL PUMP CONTINUING TO RUN. IN THE LAST 30 DAYS IT IS NOT WANTING TO START IN THE MORNING. I HAVE READ ON THIS ISSUE AND CHRYSLER HAS HAD SEVERAL HUNDRED COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE TIPM BEING BAD CAUSING THE FUEL PUMP TO CONTINUE TO RUN OR THE VAN NOT TO START ON COLD MORNINGS. THIS HAS ALSO CAUSE THE VAN TO STOP RUNNING WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING THE VEHICLE DOWN THE ROAD.

Mileage: 125,000

I BELIEVE THAT THE TIPM FUEL PUMP RELAY IS CAUSING THE ISSUES. IT HAS LEFT THE FUEL PUMP ON WHEN THE ENGINE AND POWER WAS OFF WITH THE KEY OUT OF THE VEHICLE. IT HAS MANY TIME CRANKED WITHOUT STARTING, WHILE STATIONARY WITH THE ENGINE COLD AND ALSO WHILE HOT. LAST NIGHT IT SHUTOFF THE ENGINE WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY FOLLOWED BY CRANKING WITHOUT STARTING.

Mileage: 89,107

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

INTERMITTENT ISUES WITH NOT STARTING WHEN THE KEY IS TURNED OR THE REMOTE START IS PRESSED ON THE KEY FOB. THERE IS A CLICK THAT CAM BE HERD BUT ENGINE DOES NOT TURN OVER,AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS IT WILL EVENTUALLY START. NOT SURE IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE BUT MORE OF AN INNOCENCE AND INCONVENIENCE. WITH ALL I HAVE READ ABOUT THIS ISSUE IT WOULD SEEM THAT CHRYSLER CORP. WOULD HAVE A FIX FOR IT BY NOW. THE VAN WAS USUALLY PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY, SOMETIMES OVER NIGHT OTHER TIMES AFTER DRIVING IT TO THE STORE AND BACK, THEN TRYING TO GO SOMEPLACE ELSE LIKE A DR.APT. SOMETIMES IT SAT ONLY A FEW MINUETS OTHER TIMES AFTER AN HOUR OR SO. IT HAS A NEW BATTERY AND IS IN GOOD CONDITION WITH NO CORROSION ON EITHER POST.

Mileage: 66,150

FROM WHAT I'VE RESEARCHED MY PROBLEM IS WITH THE TIPM. SEVERAL MONTHS AGO I STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH STARTING THE VEHICLE. PUSH TO START NOR KEY WOULD START THE VEHICLE AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT WOULD START. DEALER FOUND NO CODES TO DIAGNOSE AND CLAIMED THEY COULD NOT REPRODUCE IT. DEALER FLASHED SOMETHING BUT DID NOT MAKE A DIFFERENCE. A MONTH AGO, THE CAR STOPPED ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY, I WAS FORTUNATE TO BE ABLE TO MAKE IT TO THE SHOULDER. HAD IT TOWED. DIAGNOSED AS FUEL PUMP GETTING NO POWER. THEY REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP. STILL HAVING INTERMITTENT ISSUES WITH STARTING. NOW, WITH NO WARNING THE VEHICLE JUSTS SHUTS DOWN COMPLETELY AS IF NO POWER. RADIO, EVERYTHING GOES DEAD FOR A FEWS SECONDS. THEN RADIO, LIGHTS COME ON WITH NO INTERVENTION. CAR CRANKED UP BOTH TIMES. HAS DONE THIS TWICE IN THE LAST TWO WEEKS. SOMEONE WILL GET HURT OR GOD FORBID, KILLED IF CHRYSLER DOES NOT STOP LYING AND TAKE CARE OF THIS DEFECT. CONSUMER'S SHOULD NOT BE FORCED TO PAY TO REPLACE THIS PART.

Mileage: 80,675

THE CAR FAILS. THE ENGINE CUTS OFF. DEALER SAID IT WAS A FAULTY COMPUTER. THE SAME AS THE JEEP THAT WAS RECALLED ALREADY. THIS FAILURE CREATES A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE

I WAS DRIVING AND THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF THEN I STOPPED AND TTY TO RESTARTED AND FAIL. IT HAS THE FUEL TANK ALMOST FULL, THE STARTER WAS CLINKING BUT IT WAS NOT RUNNING.

VAN WOULD NOT START FROM IT'S PARKING PLACE AT A CAR WASH. MESSAGE CAME UP "ACCESSORY OR IGNITION ON". I HAD IT TOWED TO AN AUTO REPAIR SHOP. DIAGNOSED AS FAILURE OF THE TIPM (TOTAL INTEGRATED POWER MODULE). THIS SHUT DOWN ALL POWER TO THE VEHICLE INCLUDING FUEL PUMP, COMPUTER, STEERING, ENGINE, AND WHATEVER ELSE. GOOD THING IT WAS PARKED WHEN IT FAILED, FOR HAD I BEEN DRIVING I WOULD NOT HAVE HAD ANY CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, ACCORDING TO THE MECHANIC.

Mileage: 115,955

ENGINE CRANKS OVER BUT WILL NOT START. MORE THAN LIKELY THE FUEL PUMP RELAY INSIDE THE TIPM OR FUSE BOX

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD 2 TIMES THIS WEEK - MY VANS ELECTRICAL SYSTEM COMPLETELY TURNED OFF FOR ABOUT 2-5 SECONDS AND TURNED BACK ON. THIS INCLUDES: TVS, DRIVER DASH, RADIO DASH ALL INTERIOR LIGHTENING -BOTH TIMES HAPPENED DURING THE DAY I AM NOT SURE ABOUT OUTSIDE LIGHTS (I ASSUME). THE FIRST TIME THE VAN STALLED COMPLETELY LOSING POWER STEERING AND HAD TO RESTART ENGINE. THE 2ND TIME I COULD STILL GAS THE VAN WITH POWER STEERING BEFORE ALL ELECTRICAL RESTARTED ITSELF. BOTH TIMES I WAS DRIVING ON A BUSY ROAD GOING STRAIGHT (MPH 30-45PMH).

Mileage: 84,500

MY COMPLAINT IS THE TIPM MODULE JUST LIKE MANY DODGE AND CHRYSLER. AND CHRYSLER THINKS THEY CAN PICK AND CHOOSE WHO THEY REWARD AN RECALL TOO. THIS IS A FAULTY PART ON ALL CHRYSLERS FOR SEVERAL YEARS AND THEY KNOW IT! BUT WHEN I GET DONE WITH THIS CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT I AM ABOUT TO START I HOPE ALL PAYING CHRYSLER AND DODGE CUSTOMER GET MONEY THEY DESERVE!

THE CAR HAS A DEFECTIVE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE (TIPM). THIS MODULE HAS CAUSED THE VAN NOT TO START AND THE ENGINE HAS STALLED DURING DRIVING. THE MODULE HAS A FUEL PUMP RELAY ON A CKT BOARD THAT IS DEFECTIVE. THE RELAY ALSO STUCK CLOSED AND HEATED UP THE BATTERY AND DRAINED IT. THE ONLY WAY TO START THE VEHICLE, IS TO CYCLE THE KEY MULTIPLE TIMES UNTIL YOU HERE THE FUEL PUMP RUNNING. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER MANY TIMES FOR THE NO START PROBLEM. THIS VEHICLE IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN, WITH THE ENGINE STALLING AND THE FUEL PUMP SHORTING THE BATTERY. ALSO ANOTHER DEFECT IS THE POWER SLIDING DOORS, THE WIRING WILL BURN AND BREAK. THIS CAUSES THE DOORS TO BECOME STUCK OPEN AND WILL NOT CLOSE. WHEN YOU ARE ON THE ROAD WITH THE DOORS STUCK OPEN, THIS IS NOT SAFE. THE DOORS NEED THE WIRING REPLACED WITH A HEAVY DUTY WIRE.

BOUGHT THE VAN IN 2011 AND SINCE THEN, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO HAVING PROBLEMS STARTING IN 2014. I PRESSED THE START BUTTON, BUT THE ENGINE WOULD NOT TURN OVER. AFTER SEVERAL HUNDRED TRIES, IT WOULD START. THIS HAPPENED 20 TIMES SINCE THEN AND THE DEALER DOES NOT KNOW WHY. TODAY, 4 OCT 16, THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START AT ALL. I'M A DEPLOYED SERVICE MEMBER AND MY WIFE AND THREE CHILDREN USE THIS VAN. THE FAULTY IGNITION SYSTEM WILL LEAVE MY FAMILY STRANDED. I RESEARCHED THIS AND THERE IS A RECALL FOR OTHER MODELS WITH THE SAME TIPM SYSTEM, HOWEVER, THERE IS NOT ONE FOR THE TOWN AND COUNTRY. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF OWNERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. PLEASE HAVE CHRYSLER ADMIT THERE IS A FAULTY TIPM AND THAT THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED.

I BELIEVE MY ISSUES STARTED WHEN MY BATTERY WAS DEAD AFTER BEING SHUT OFF UPON MY ARRIVAL TO WORK, WITHIN 3 1/2 HOURS. BATTERY WAS CHARGED AND STARTED AND MADE IT HOME. 3 DAYS LATER, WITHOUT ANY NOTIFICATION OF AN ISSUE THROUGH THE ONBOARD COMPUTER NOTIFICATION SYSTEM, VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. TRIES TO TURN OVER, AND DID START AFTER A LOT OF DIFFERENT EFFORTS ABOUT 7-8 TIMES(BY FULLY DEPRESSING GAS PEDAL WHEN IT WOULD TURN OVER TO START AND MAINTAIN RPMS 3-4000 FOR A MINIMUM OF 5-10 SECONDS) AND NOW WILL NOT START AT ALL. AFTER LAST ATTEMPTS TO START, AND VEHICLE NOT RUNNING, YOU CAN STILL HEAR THE FUEL PUMP OPERATING AND SMELL OF GASOLINE. BATTERY DRAIN WAS NOTICED WITH 24 HOURS, AND DEAD WITH IN 2 DAYS. WHEN VEHICLE HAD STARTED AND ABLE TO DRIVE A SHORT DISTANCE, IT WOULD SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING, OR SHUT OFF UPON STOPPING FOR A SIGN OR RED LIGHT. THIS IS DANGEROUS SITUATION, AS I AM TRYING TO TAKE MY 4 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER AND TEEN AGE SON TO SCHOOL WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I HAVE BEEN WITHOUT A VEHICLE FOR OVER A MONTH NOW, AS THIS STARTED 8/18/2016. HAVE LOST WORK TIME AND PUT MY JOB IN JEOPARDY, AS I AM IN SALES AND NEED MY TRANSPORTATION. I DO NOT HAVE THE TIME TO BE RUNNING BACK AND FORTH TO DEALERS TO ONLY FIND OUT THEY KNOW NOTHING TO FIX THIS RECURRING PROBLEM WITH THEIR CHRYSLER VEHICLES, NOR THE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO SPEND ON THEM TRYING TO "GUESS" AT WHAT THE ISSUE IS. VEHICLES SHOULD BE FIXED IF CHRYSLER ACTUALLY KNOWS WHAT WILL FIX IT, OR BUYOUT THE VEHICLE PLUS 5+% SO PEOPLE CAN REPLACE THIS AWFUL VEHICLE. IN THE MEANTIME, GM FINANCIAL STILL EXPECTS MONTHLY PAYMENT ON A VEHICLE THAT IS WORTHLESS.

VEHICLES WAS PARKED IN DRIVEWAY WENT TO START VEHICLE AND IT WILL NOT START, VEHICLE WILL TURN OVER AND ACT LIKE IT,IS NOT GETTING FUEL. IF VEHICLE SITS FOR SOME TIME EVENTUALLY IT WILL START 3-4 TIMES AND THEN ISSUE WILL OCCUR AGAIN. VEHICLE STARTED WITH NO PROBLEM THE PREVIOUS DAY, PROBLEM OCCURRED WITHOUT ANY WARNING, NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DISPLAYED ON DASH. WHEN VEHICLE IS OFF FUEL PUMP CAN BE HEARD STILL RUNNING WITH IGNITION OFF AND BATTERY HAS TO BE DISCONNECTED IN ORDER TO STOP FUEL PUMP FROM RUNNING AND NOT DRAIN BATTERY. BATTERY IS BRAND NEW, FUSES HAVE BEEN CHECKED AND ARE IN GOOD CONDITION. IN RESEARCHING ONLINE I HAVE FOUND OTHERS TO HAVE THE SAME ISSUE BUT HAVE NOT SEEN ANY RECALL. WAS ABLE TO FIIND POSSIBLE TEMPORARY FIX BY USING A FUEL PUMP RELAY BYPASS BUT HAVE NOT TRIED THIS OPTION.. I HAVE CALLED AND SPOKEN TO BE CHRYSLER SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT IT HERE IS NO RECALL AND ALL I CAN DO IS HAVE CAR TOWED TO THEM AND LET THEM CHECK IT OUT. I WOULD THINK WITH RECALL THEY HAVE DONE ON JEEP AND DODGE PROTECTS THERE WOULD BE SOMETHING THEY CAN TELL. SAME ISSUE HAS OCCURRED WITH THE DODGE CARAVAN WHICH IS BASICALLY THE CHRYSLER TOWN N COUNTRY. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!

EXPERIENCING INTERMITTENT ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. THE VAN WILL CRANK FINE ONE TIME AND NOT JUST A FEW MINUTES LATER. IT ACTS LIKE THE BATTERY IS DEAD BUT IT'S A BRAND NEW BATTERY REPLACED BY THE DEALER. IT HAS BEEN DOING THIS OFF AND ON. THE SYMPTOMS ARE A PERFECT FIT FOR THE TIPM ISSUES THAT OTHER CHRYSLER VEHICLES HAVE EXPERIENCED AND HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR. IT HAS PLENTY OF VOLTAGE AND AMPERAGE TO CRANK, IT JUST WON'T. ALSO WHEN IT DOES CRANK IT WILL STALL OUT, ALTHOUGH, NOT EVERY TIME. SOMETIMES IT WILL CRANK NORMALLY AND OTHERS YOU NEED TO PRESS THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THIS ALSO APPEARS TO FIT THE TIPM SYMPTOMS EXACTLY. THE VAN HAS WORKED PERFECTLY UNTIL THIS ISSUE. THIS IS A DESIGN DEFECT THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD PAY TO CORRECT IN ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES. THE MOST RECENT OCCURRENCE WAS THE EVENING OF 6/26/16. I DROVE THE VEHICLE APPROXIMATELY 4 HOURS EARLIER AND IT CRANKED AND OPERATED NORMALLY, HOWEVER, THIS TIME IT WOULD NOT CRANK. THE INTERIOR LIGHTS AND A/C FAN ALL APPEAR TO OPERATE NORMALLY, HOWEVER, WHEN I TRIED TO CRANK THE VAN ALL OF THE LIGHTS FLICKERED BUT THE VAN DOES NOT CRANK. I DO NOT RECEIVE A LOW BATTER WARNING EITHER, BECAUSE THE BATTER IS BRAND NEW, REPLACED BY THE DEALER AT THE BEGINNING OF JUNE 2016. I ATTEMPTED SEVERAL MORE TIMES BUT THE VAN NEVER DID CRANK. THAT IS WHY I AM HERE. I AM FED UP WITH HAVING TO DRIVE A VAN WITH AN OBVIOUS DESIGN FLAW. I AM SEEKING RESOLUTION IN THE FORM OF THE THE DEALER CORRECTING THE DEFECT AT THE THEIR OWN COST.

WAS LEAVING WORK WHEN MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ONE, ALONG WITH THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT AND THE BRAKES GOT HARD. CAR STOPPED, TURNED IT OFF TO TURN IT BACK ON, AND IT WOULD NOT START. ALL LIGHTS, RADIO, ETC CAME ON, BUT ENGINE WOULD NOT TURN OVER OR ENGAGE. DO NOT THINK FUEL PUMP WAS ENGAGING EITHER. TRIED NUMEROUS THINGS, INCLUDING THE TIPM BYPASS AND IT STILL WILL NOT START. 90% PLUS OF MY DRIVING IS HIGHWAY. I GOT VERY LUCKY THAT THIS SYSTEM FAILURE HAPPENED WHEN IT DID, AS A FEW MINUTES LATER AND I WOULD HAVE BEEN ON A VERY BUSY HIGHWAY, AS WELL AS IF IT HAD HAPPENED ON MY WAY TO WORK.

MY CAR SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING AND WONT START RIGHT AWAY. IT GIVES NO WARNING. IT HAPPENS ANYWHERE. IT IS UNSAFE IN MANY WAYS.. I HAVE TAKEN IT OT THE DEALER AND THE PROBLEM PERSIST. I HAVE NO MORE WARRANTY IN THE VEHICLE.

FIRST MY RADIO WOULD COME ON AND OFF BUY ITSELF, THEN THE HEAT WOULD TURN ON AND OFF BY ITSELF, THEN CAR WOULD START SOMETIMES, UNLESS YOU TURNED KEY ON AND OFF 4 TIMES BEFORE STARTING, NOW THE FUEL PUMP WILL NOT STOP RUNNING AND I HAVE TO TAKE CABLE OF BATTERY EVERY TIME I TURN VAN OFF

WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY AT AN ESTIMATED SPEED OF 60 MPH, FOR NO REASON AT ALL, VARIOUS WARNING/INDICATOR LIGHTS STARTED TO FLASH (NOT ALL IN UNISON) AND THE ODOMETER SPEED INDICATOR (DIGITAL NUMBERS) WENT UP & DOWN AS THE CAR SEEMED TO BE STALLING/MISSING. FOR A SECOND IT SEEMED TO RIGHT ITSELF THEN THE ENGINE COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN LOSING ALL POWER - ELECTRICAL (ALL), POWER STEERING, POWER BRAKES, ETC. AND WE WERE FORCED TO COAST TO A STOP IN THE BREAKDOWN LANE. AFTER WAITING A FEW MINUTES I WAS ABLE TO START THE CAR AND IT SEEMED THAT EVERY THING WAS NORMAL FOR THE LAST 10 MILES OR SO OF MY DRIVE.THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IT HAS HAPPENED IN THE PAST 2-3 YEARS WHICH IS A LONG PERIOD BUT ALARMING BECAUSE BOTH TIMES WERE WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. WHEN IT DOES HAPPEN YOU CAN'T SAFELY CONTROL THE CAR ONCE IT SHUTS DOWN - LIMITED CONTROL AT BEST. AFTER THE FIRST TIME, I TOOK IT TO THE CHRYSLER DEALER IN KENT OH (KLABEN) WHO SERVICES MY VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THE WARRANTY AND I TRUST THEM. THEY HAD A SERVICE TECHNICIAN AND A MANAGER BOTH DRIVE THE VAN OVER THE COURSE OF A FEW DAYS (INCLUDING HIGHWAY TRAVEL) AND COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. DIAGNOSIS WAS A POSSIBLE COMPUTER GLITCH AND SINCE THAT DIAGNOSIS IT HASN'T HAPPENED AGAIN UNTIL TONIGHT 2/10/16. IT MAY BE THE COMPUTER BUT I WILL DRIVE IT TOMORROW AND SEE IF IT RUNS OK. IF IT DOES I PROBABLY WON'T TAKE IT BACK IN (UNLESS SOMEONE KNOWS SOMETHING) BUT I WANTED TO SHARE THE ISSUE IN THE EVENT ANYONE ELSE HAS EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM. A COMPUTER GLITCH (IF IT IS) IS NOT LIKE A REBOOT ON THE HOME COMPUTER.THIS FAILURE BOTH TIMES HAS HAPPENED IN LIGHT TRAFFIC. MY FEAR IS THAT IN HEAVY TRAFFIC TRYING TO PULL OVER SAFELY WITHOUT ANY POWER AND LIGHTS COULD LEAD TO A MAJOR INCIDENT/ACCIDENT. I SHOULD HAVE MY RECORD OF THE (NO) REPAIR FROM KLABEN AND THEY SHOULD ALSO HAVE IN THEIR DATA BASE.

I OWN A 2011 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY WITH 97, 000 MILES, MOSTLY HIGHWAY. I TAKE GOOD CARE OF MY VAN BUT LATELY HAVE HAD SEVERAL ISSUES. THE VEHICLE WILL RANDOMLY NOT START. I CAN PLACE THE CAR IN NEUTRAL SOMETIMES AND IT WILL START OTHER TIMES IT WILL NOT. I HAVE HAD IT TOWED 2X TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY STATE THERE ARE NO CODES AND IT STARTS. IT HAS COST ME OVER 1000.00 IN TOW, SERVICE AND GARAGE FEES. THE VEHICLE IS IN THE STOP POSITION WHEN IT WILL NOT START.

AS WE WERE DRIVING AT ABOUT 30 MPH THE VAN STARTED TO ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN. IT REVVED UP TO 70 MPH THEN TO 50 THEN TO 20 THEN BACK UP TO 70. WE COULDN'T CONTROL THE SPEED WITH GAS PEDAL OR THE BRAKE PEDAL. WE WERE JUST GLIDING. I TOLD MY WIFE TO PUT IT INTO NUETRAL AND TAP ON BRAKE PEDAL TILL WE FINALLY SLOWED DOWN. WE THEN TURNED VAN OFF AND LET IT SIT. WE THEN CALLED ARE MECHANICS AS WE JUST HAD A TRANSMISSION FLUSH DONE. OF COURSE THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH IT BECAUSE IT WASN'T DOING IT FOR THEM. WE TRUST OUR MECHANICS AS WE HAVE BEEN USING THEM FOR YEARS NOW ON ALL OUR VEHICLES AND HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM UNTIL THIS VAN. THE NEXT DAY WE ARE SITTING AT A LIGHT AND THE VAN IS JUMPING LIKE IT WANTS TO GO AND A LOUD CLUNK NOISE HAPPENS LIKE ITS SHIFTING GEARS. THEN THE FOLLOWING MORNING MY WIFE IS GETTING IN VAN TO TAKE KIDS TO SCHOOL AND TURNS ON VAN AND IT TURNS ITSELF OFF. OUR MECHANICS HAD THIS VAN FOR 2 DAYS AND HAVE DROVE IT WITH THERE COMPUTERS HOOKED UP TO IT AND NO RED FLAGS. THE MAIN MECHANIC SAYS IT'S PROBABLY THE COMPUTER. AFTER FURTHER RESEARCH ON THIS VAN I NOW HAVE FOUND THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MAKE,MODEL,YEAR. YET NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO RESOLVE IT. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE THAT APPARENTLY CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF BUT WOULD RATHER MAKE $1200 OFF CONSUMERS THEN FIX ON THERE OWN. CLEARLY MY SAFETY AND MY FAMILIES SAFETY ISN'T A CONCERN FOR THEM. WE DRIVE ALMOST AN HOUR ON THE HIGHWAY EVERY OTHER WEEK. NOW I HAVE TO BE WORRIED THIS VAN WON'T DRIVE MY FAMILY INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE BECAUSE ITS TAKING OVER AND WE HAVE NO WAY OF STOPPING IT.

WE PURCHASED THIS 2011 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY AS A NEW VEHICLE IN JAN.OF 2012. SINCE THE PURCHASE THERE HAVE BEEN 5 INCIDENTS WHERE THE VAN HAS LOST ALL ELECTRICAL POWER MAKING CLICKING NOISES, AND LEAVING US STRANDED. THE FINAL INCIDENT HAPPENED ON DEC. 26,2014 WHILE TRAVELING IN THE MOUNTAINS OF NORTH CAROLINA. IT WAS 10:30 PM, NO STREET LIGHTS AND NOTHING BUT STEEP TERRAIN ON THE SIDES. THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN AND WAS MAKING THE CLICKING NOISES.THE POWER STEERING WAS LOST, HEADLIGHTS OFF AND ALL OTHER ELECTRICAL FUNCTIONS WERE UNAVAILABLE. ONCE IN COMPLETE DARKNESS WE NOTICED WE HAD SHIFTED INTO THE ONCOMING LANE OF TRAFFIC. WE NOTICED HEADLIGHTS COMING AT US IN THE DISTANCE, LUCKILY QUICK THINKING AND USE OF A FLASHLIGHT WE WERE ABLE TO WARN THE ONCOMING VEHICLE OF OUR POSITION IN THEIR LANE. THEY STOPPED IN FRONT OF OUR VEHICLE AND TURNED ON THEIR HAZARDS TO PROVIDE WARNING FOR OTHER VEHICLES. BEING THAT WE WERE IN IMMINENT DANGER, I HAD TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY AND LET THE SYSTEM RESET. AFTER TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY ONCE AGAIN SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP ONLY STATED, " HAVE IT TOWED IN WHEN IT HAPPENS". BEING THAT THE LAST 2 TIMES THIS HAPPENED WE WERE LEFT STRANDED IN TRAFFIC, DURING LATE HOURS WITH ABSOLUTELY NO ELECTRICAL POWER AND MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR, IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO WAIT TO BE TOWED IN. THEY WERE UNSAFE SITUATIONS THAT POTENTIALLY HAD FATAL RESULTS. I HAD TO MAKE THE BEST DECISION AT THE TIME TO PROTECT MY FAMILY. I AM BEYOND FRUSTRATED WITH CHRYSLER FOR ALLOWING ME TO LEAVE THE SHOP EVERY TIME WITH NO SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM. MY KIDS ARE AFRAID TO GET IN VAN FOR FEAR OF BREAKING DOWN YET AGAIN. FIVE INCIDENTS WITH NO RESOLUTION, NO ONE KNOWS HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM! A RECURRENT PROBLEM THAT CAN HAPPEN AT ANY POINT- WHILE ON A HIGHWAY OR GETTING THROUGH A BUSY INTERSECTION. *TR

AFTER ABOUT 4 MONTHS OF PURCHASING THE VEHICLE, I HAD ISSUES WITH THE BRAKES, SYSTEM HAD BEING REPLACED ALREADY 4 TIMES (IN LESS THAN 2 YEARS), I HAD PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR THE WORK, STILL HAVING ISSUES. THERE IS A NOISY FROM THE ENGINE EVERY TIME YOU CHANGE EITHER FROM PARKING TO DRIVE OR DRIVE TO REVERSE. HAD IT CHECKED ALREADY 3 TIMES. MY POWER WINDOW AND LOCK CONTROL IS ALWAYS HAVING ISSUES AND GET'S PRETTY WARM. SUMMARIZING MY EXPERIENCE WITH THIS VEHICLE IT HAD BEING A COMPLETE NIGHTMARE, I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND HAD SPEND MORE MONEY OUT OF POCKET THAN MY PREVIOUS MINI-VANS. ANOTHER ISSUE IS THAT SOMETIMES THE SIDE DOORS OPEN BY THEMSELVES, WITHOUT US EVEN TOUCHING THE CONTROLS, OR THEY OPEN HALF WAY AND WE MUST PLACE IN PARK THE VAN, TURN IT OFF AND START IT AGAIN IN ORDER TO CLOSE THE SIDE DOORS. *TR

I HAD TO HAVE THE CYLINDER HEAD REPLACES ON MY T & C PENTASTAR 3.6 V-6 ENGINE. IN RESEARCHING THIS I SEE THAT IT IS A LIMITED NUMBER OF CARS BUT THE T&C IS NOT MENTIONED. I AM REPORTING THIS BECAUSE PERHAPS IT IS A MUCH LARGER NUMBER OF ENGINES AND THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL. FOR INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE THE ISSUE AND END UP OUT OF WARRANTY WILL THE DEALER STILL HONOR THE WARRANTY. *TR

I WAS CLEANING MY WINDSHIELD ON THE VAN WHEN THE ENGINE SUDDENLY STARTED (WITHIN THE CLOSED GARAGE). APPARENTLY THE AUTOMATIC-START FUNCTION WAS TRIGGERED WHEN THE KEY-FOB REMOTE IN MY PANTS POCKET WAS INADVERTENTLY ACTIVATED WHEN I LEANED AGAINST THE CAR. THIS IS VERY SCARY! IF I HAD BEEN LEANING AGAINST SOMETHING INSIDE THE HOUSE, WOULD MY CAR HAVE BEEN RUNNING ALL NIGHT IN A CLOSED GARAGE ATTACHED TO MY HOUSE?. I HAVE OFTEN ACCIDENTALLY TRIGGERED OTHER FUNCTIONS (SUCH AS DOOR OPENING, DOOR LOCK, ETC.) WHEN WORKING AROUND THE HOUSE, BUT AUTOMATICALLY STARTING THE ENGINE IS ESPECIALLY TROUBLING! I BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE A SEPARATE INTERLOCK SAFETY BUTTON LOCATED ON THE SIDE OF THE REMOTE KEY FOB SO AN ACCIDENTAL ENGINE START WOULD BE MUCH LESS LIKELY. *TR
