2014 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY Engine Problems

Vehicle engine exploded in the middle of the night. Car would remote start on its own as I would lock the doors and walk away prior to the incident. Also the airbag light would come off and on. Notice the day of the incident that the dimmer would disappear and reappear. Very strange I thought. The house could've burned down while we were sleeping. If it wasn't for our neighbors and the quick response of those firefighters it could've possibly burned the house down while we were in there sleeping. The van was picked up by the insurance company two days ago. Not sure what happened as far as it being inspected yet. They have given me the silent treatment. Went to a Chrysler dealership, not where I bought it. This van has had one recall done in 2015. Rear quarter vent window switch.

Having to have a new oil cooling housing replaced at 94,102 miles. Also had to change out front struts around 87,000 miles

Failure of engine oil filter housing - engine leaking oil If the engine fails, the vehicle could stop in traffic thereby putting the driver and passengers at risk of injury from other traffic. Independent repair service fixed and stated they average 1 a week. The place that diagnosed the problem said they do quite a few repairs on this engine monthly. Nothing reported but this seems to be a common problem with this engine. Large oil drip only indication of problem.

Left Cylinder failure /misfire on 2014 Town and Country. Most likely 2013 Engine. ) Bought minivan brand new in April 2014. Have had several Chrysler minivans never had issues. Mechanic say this minivan complete failure, too expensive to fix. Impacted Transmission and it is bad too now. No recalls on this and should be. Such a great van and was disappointed I did not get more years and miles out of it.

The cylinder 4 misfires. A leak down test was done by a mechanic and it failed. The entire cylinder head will have to be replaced. There are loads of people with this issue, and I know there was a recall at one point for certain years but the year 2014 was not included, neither was cylinder 4. There were warning signs such as shaking in the car when coming to a stop.

cylinder 2 codes out. Check engine light on. The check engine light, came on 2 weeks ago and has not gone out. Van shakes a little bit, when in low RPM and sitting at lights. It has been confirmed by independent mechanic.

No check engine warning, unpredictable no start, no crank. Physical well being of grandchild, others and self at risk due to high temperatures. This also puts stress on mental well being, how to fix, can I fix, the cost and constant worry of being stranded. Have not confirmed with dealer. Did have a shop review. Battery, alternator good, starter is new. Issue is sporadic and hard to duplicate, but happening daily. Research on internet shows this is common occurrence without a definitive solution. Who has to have a breakdown, not just mechanically speaking to find a solutuon?

The contact owns a 2014 Chrysler Town and Country. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 40 MPH, and once while stopped at a red traffic light, the vehicle lost motive power and stalled. The vehicle was able to be restarted each time. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 74,000.

Mileage: 74,000

The oil cooler that is located under the intake manifold has a very bad issue and they crack and almost everyone of the engines like this I called about 9 diff shops and everyone of them told me it was a very common issue the one shop even keeps 5 in stock I already have changed this one but it causes them to leak oil down onto the exhaust and transmission and for some reason or another when ours started to leak badly the transmission acted up and we had to have that rebuilt so on top of the 250 dollar part it also cost almost 5k for a Transmission at same time I feel there needs to be something done about this as it a very bad common issue on all the engines like ours

I was driving on I95 and the car completely shut down. The RPM went to 0. It started up again after about twenty minutes. I had the car repaired (throttle body replaced) and since that incident I have had this same thing happen four more times. The car seems to “resets” itself. I have had the throttle body replaced twice, the ignition control switch twice, the relay harness and then the relay redone. The van only does this periodically. The dealership had my van for six weeks and “couldn’t duplicate the problem “. This usually happens when driving for over an hour and speeds over 65mph. Last week I was driving to work, eleven miles from home and it happened again. The van restarted after sitting about thirty minutes.

Transmission Oil Cooler Lines Leaking and Oil Filter Adapter Housing is Leaking.

My vehicle engine light came on. Error code P0302 detected. Private mechanic referred to dealership for repair. Dealership confirmed original diagonals. Engine issues consistent with NHTSA bulletins D-14-22, 18-069-16 and 09-002-14. As part of the bulletin vehicle warranties were extended for select vehicle years. My vehicle is under both the year and mileage extension however, does not “qualify” per dealership due to vehicle year not being listed on the bulletins.

The engine light came on after replacing the front cylinder head and was illuminated before this repair. The engine has a constant clicking sound, and runs very rough and nearly to a stall constantly. The vehicle is using fuel at an alarming rate. The vehicle cannot be driven for any distance as the rpms are out of control when accelerating. Mechanics who have looked at the vehicle said this is a common problem with the 3.6 engine and will not be remedied easily. I was advised not to drive the vehicle for safety reasons.

The rocker arms have failed twice and caused a constantly flashing check engine light. I was told by the mechanic that this is a common problem with the 3.6 liter engine and if you continue to drive you will have catastrophic engine damage. The engine shudders and shakes and will not respond as it should. It constantly needs spark plugs. There is a constant ticking in the engine, it misfires and when it loses power you have to make a quick maneuver to avoid being hit. This model requires constant repair. My Chrysler trained mechanic said that there is no permanent repair. He called the Town and County 3.6 liter junk. While going out of town the engine slowed from 80mph to 40mph. An 18 wheeler behind me slammed on brakes and blew his horn. I had to drive off of the road to avoid being killed. I could not drive over 40mph. I found the closest hotel for the night and had to have the vehicle towed the next morning.

The contact owns a 2014 Chrysler Town and Country. The contact stated while his wife was driving 65 MPH and drove over a bump in the roadway, the vehicle stalled. The contact was unaware of a warning light being illuminated. The contact shifted the vehicle into neutral(N), restarted the vehicle, and continue driving to his destination. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. A dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 104,000.

Mileage: 104,000

The lifters and tappets in the 3.6L Chrysler V6 become prematurely worn, interfering with the engine’s ability to provide power to the vehicle while driving. This results in safety issues where the vehicle will not accelerate adequately at low speeds, which surprises other drivers and places the driver and passengers in our van at increased risk of collision.

In the middle of driving the vehicle steering wheel seized up and the engine shut off in the middle of driving. This is extremely dangerous and I had my two children in the car

Twice now the vehicle has turned itself off. Once idling in a parking lot and once driving down the road. There were no warning lights that came on, the engine just died and all the electronics reset (clock, speedo, etc.).

The contact owns a 2014 Chrysler Town and Country. The contact stated while driving approximately 55 MPH and then coming to a complete stop, the vehicle lost motive power and stalled. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and diagnosed with TIPM failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 153,159.

Mileage: 153,159

Win module is going out engine cuts out without notice when driving. There have been recalls for this part in older models but issues look to have continued into newer models

Win module. Engine cuts off while driving no warning. Almost caused vehicle crash loss of power steering and total engine power

Oil filter cooler housing unit is leaking at under 150,000 miles. The leaking oil is pooling and is an extreme fire hazard. After my mechanic informed me that this was common in my vehicle it came to my attention that this has been a known issue which Chrysler has refused to take responsibility for.

While traveling at highway speed 65 MPH when the engine and electrical went off without warning, causing all lights, in and out to go off, power steering to be lost and I'm sure power brakes to be compromised. Was able to put vehicle in neutral and restart the engine while coasting. This did happen at night leaving the vehicle without lights while it is coasting and loosing speed on a busy freeway. This has happened a few times previously but this is the first time on the freeway.

Engine Leaked oil from oil filter housing, Thank goodness my boyfriend put the fire out. very big problem he had to repair wires and replace lots of expensive parts because the small fire melted some of the intake and the valve cover. Im just thankful my boyfriend is a mechanic and could fix it for me. 800.00 in just parts. just to find out that there is a updated part that would not leak. But Waldorf dodge Sold me the same part he took off. so its destined to happen again. Chrysler should be ashamed of their design. They put my family at risk and my vehicle. I checked for recalls on it and its not there.

OIL HOUSING LEAK FAILURE which when speaking with my mechanic and looking online, this is a HUGE problem with these vehicles. I don't understand why this has been a recall item as I can see over 56,000 issues online for it. SUCH An ISSUE there is a back order of part. the oil leak is dangerous and can cause fires to cars with mostly families driving them

The contact owns a 2014 Chrysler Town and Country. The contact stated that the check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was diagnosed but not repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The contact was informed that the VIN was not under recall. The failure mileage was approximately 109,000.

Oil leak from defective adapter/housing. Oil continuously leaks even shortly after being repaired due to bad product design on the 3.6L Pentastar V6 engine. Poses a significant safety hazard and could lead to fire at any point due to all the old oil that has leaked all over the engine bottom. A significant number of posts pertaining to this issue are all across the internet, here is only one example going back to 2014 with over 400 posts; from only one thread!: https://www.chryslerminivan.net/threads/please-post-if-you-have-had-an-oil-leak-on-your-2014-3-6l-pentastar-v6.65617/page-21

This 2014 Town & Country stalls while driving, even when driving on the highway. It is extremely dangerous to me, and especially to my wife and children ! The check engine light comes on when it is about to stall. My ASE Certified mechanic read a P0302 trouble code. This means that #2 cylinder has a misfire. The mechanic replaced all spark plugs and coils, but the same missfire remains. The actual problem is a defective cylinder head on the left bank. This was determined by a cylinder leak-down test, which shows that #2 exhaust valve is leaking compression. This defective left (#2,4,6 cylinders) cylinder head is well known by all FCA Dealers. My dealer says that ALL of his mechanics have a great deal of experience doing this defective cylinder head replacement. Tens of thousands of left cylider heads have been replaced under an EXTENDED WARRANTY PROGRAM, issued and approved by FCA, which extends engine warranties on their 3.6 LITER ENGINES to 10 YEARS or 150,000 miles. When I try to get my vehicle's defective cylinder head replaced under the EXTENDED WARRANTY FCA PROGRAM, FCA says that they will only replace the defective cylinder head on 2011, 2012, and 2013 vehicles ! They will not cover my vehicle ! Please help, before this engine defect causes a major accident for my family.

WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE TEMPERATURE JUMPED INTO THE RED. WE PULLED OVER IMMEDIATELY AND FOUND OIL AND COOLANT SPRAYED ON THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. FURTHER INSPECTION SHOWED OIL IN THE RADIATOR MIXED WITH THE COOLANT. THE OIL COOLER FAILED AND OIL WAS BEING PUSHED INTO THE COOLANT SYSTEM, WHICH CAUSED THE OVERHEATING. WE WERE JUST GETTING UP TO SPEED WHEN THE INCIDENT OCCURRED. WE HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP TO BE REPAIRED. THE OIL COOLER PART INQUIRY SHOWED 40,000 ON BACK ORDER BECAUSE THE FAILURE OCCURRENCE IS SO HIGH.

Mileage: 160,000

I NOTICED SOME TYPE OF OIL LEAKING UNDER MY VEHICLE. I TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THE OIL FILTER HOUSING NEEDED REPLACED. THEY SAID IT WOULD COST AROUND $1,000, BUT THAT THERE WAS NO ETA ON WHEN THEY WOULD HAVE THAT PART IN STOCK. I CALLED A SMALL AUTO MECHANIC SHOP TO SEE IF THEY COULD GIVE ME A COMPETITIVE PRICE, BUT THEY AREN'T ABLE TO FIND THE PART AVAILABLE THROUGH ANY THIRD PARTY VENDORS. MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN SITTING AT THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP FOR OVER 2 WEEKS WAITING FOR THEM TO LET ME KNOW WHEN THE PART WILL BE AVAILABLE. THE DIAGNOSTIC FEE IS $135 AND WILL ONLY GO TOWARDS THE PRICE OF THE REPAIRS IF THOSE HAPPEN WITHIN 30 DAYS, SO TO KEEP FROM WASTING MONEY AND HAVING MAJOR ISSUES ARISE FROM THIS LEAK I HAVEN'T PICKED UP MY VEHICLE AND WE ARE PLAYING LEAP FROG WITH MY HUSBAND'S SMALL CAR.

NOTICED ENGINE OIL LEAKING (UNKNOWN WHEN IT STARTED). INITIALLY THOUGH IT MAY HAVE BEEN OIL SPILLED WHEN CHANGING OIL. IT TURNS OUT THE OIL IS LEAKING FORM FILTER HOUSING (ALSO INCLUDES ENGINE OIL COOLER). ENGINE NEEDS EXPENSIVE REPAIR TO FIX DUE TO PLASTIC PARTS. PART IS NOT AVAILABLE TO PURCHASE (BACK ORDER). OIL LEAKS IS HEAVY, UNSURE IF IT MAY POSE A FIRE HAZARD.

THE OIL PUMP COOLANT LINE AND HOUSING NEEDS TO BE REPLACED - COSTING ABOUT $1K FOR PARTS AND LABOR. THE VAN ONLY HAS 115K MILES AND HAS BEEN WELL-MAINTAINED. I HEARD FROM BOTH THE AUTO REPAIR SHOP AND THE DEALER THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AMONG MANY OTHER VANS AND THAT THE PARTS ARE ON BACKORDER FOR 2 MONTHS (ABOUT 15K NEEDED). IT'S NOT JUST ME HAVING THIS ISSUE BUT THOUSANDS. A RECALL SHOULD BE IN EFFECT.

HAD MY OIL CHANGED AND TUNED UP LAST MONTH ROUGHLY 3 DAYS LATER I NOTICED OIL ON MY DRIVE. BROUGHT IT TO A FRIEND AND SAT FOR 30 MIN AND A PUDDLE OF OIL SHOWED UP IN HIS GARAGE FLOOR. WE CHECKED THE OIL LEVEL AND FOUND OIL ALL OVER THE MOTOR. I TOOK IT BACK TO WHERE I HAD MY WORK DONE AND WAS TOLD THE LEAK WAS COMING FROM UNDER THE OIL FILTER HOUSING ASSEMBLY AND THERE ARE 2000 ON BACK ORDER. WHICH MAKES ME THINK THERE IS A PROBLEM YOUR AWARE OF AND HOW DO I GET IT FIXED.

Mileage: 95,000

I NOTICED OIL UNDER MY VEHICLE. I CRAWLED UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED OIL WAS COATING ALL VISIBLE PARTS OF MOTOR. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION THE OIL FILTER HOUSING ASSEMBLY HAS DEVELOPED A CRACK IN IT. THIS IS A PLASTIC PIECE THAT IS AFFIXED TO THE ENGINE (HEAT AND PLASTIC DO NOT MIX). THIS HAS CAUSED OIL TO LEAK ONTO THE MOTOR (AT APPROXIMATELY 1 QUART PER 3000 MILES DRIVEN). THIS HAS THE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE A FIRE IN THE ENGINE BAY AT ANY TIME.

Mileage: 107,000

ON TWO OCCASIONS DURING THE LAST MONTH THE ENGINE HAD JUST DIED WHILE DRIVING. IT HAPPENS AROUND 30MPH AND DECELERATING. BATTERY WAS WORKING BECAUSE RADIO STAYED ON, BUT LOST ALL OTHER OPERATING FUNCTIONS INCLUDING AUTOMATIC STEERING.

AT 50,000 MILES THE TRANSMISSION VALVE WENT OUT - CAUSING THE VAN TO STALL WHILE DRIVING. IT WAS REPLACED. AGAIN AFTER ANOTHER 50,000 MILES THIS TRANSMISSION VALVE IS GOING OUT AND THE VEHICLE IS AGAIN STALLING WHILE DRIVING.

ON 1/17/21, THE VAN ENGINE STALLED WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON A FREEWAY. THIS CAUSED LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES. I COASTED TO STOP ON SIDE OF ROAD, WAITED A BIT, AND RESTARTED THE VAN. IT DROVE FOR AOUT 3 MILES WHEN THE SAME THING HAPPENED. PROBLEM APPEARS INTERMITTENT SINCE IT HASN'T HAPPENED WHEN I BRIELFY DROVE THE CAR ON 1/18 AND 1/19. DEALER IS SAYING THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH CAR (TOOK CAR IN TO DEALER ON 1/20)

Mileage: 120,000

VEHICLE HAD LEAKING PLASTIC OIL FILTER HOUSING AT 110K MILES. AFTER REVIEW ONLINE, NOTICED THIS IS A VERY COMMON DESIGN ISSUE ALL OVER THE 3.6 PENTASTAR V6. THEN AT 127K, I HAVE NOW BEEN INFORMED AFTER ENGINE STARTED TICKING WHILE DRIVING THAT TIMING CHAIN, CAMSHAFT ETC HAVE FAILED AND ENGINE MUST BE REBUILT AND OR REPLACED ENTIRELY. I HAVE OWNED MANY VEHICLES AND NEVER HAD ONE WITH AN ENGINE FAILURE AT THIS LOW MILEAGE. SMALL FIXES, OF COURSE BUT TOTAL CATASTROPHIC ENGINE PART FAILURE AT 127K? CHRYSLER SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THIS POORLY DESIGNED ENGINE. THEY KNOW THIS ENGINE HAS PROBLEMS AS THEY EXTENDED ENGINE WARRANTIES FOR 2011-2013 MODELS BUT I FEEL LIKE THEY LEAVE THEIR CUSTOMERS WITH NEWER ENGINES HIGH AND DRY. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER FCA PRODUCT AGAIN AS LONG AS I LIVE, AND I AM A YOUNG FATHER WITH MANY MORE VEHICLES LEFT TO BUY IN MY LIFE - THIS WAS MY FIRST FCA VEHICLE.

I OWN A 2014 TOWN AND COUNTRY. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS COME ON AT AROUND 59800 MILES. BROUGHT TO MECHANIC AND HE INFORMED ME CYLINDER 6 WAS MISFIRING. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION HE SAID THE CYLINDER HEAD WAS CRACKED. I CALLED CHRYSLER BECAUSE MECHANIC SAID THEY HAVE EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THIS SPECIFIC PART. I WAS TOLD MY YEAR IS NOT COVERED. ONLY UP TO 2013. UPON RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM IS STILL GOING ON. WITH MY YEAR AND OTHERS. THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM AND IT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. CHRYSLER SHOULD STAND BY THEIR PRODUCT AND FIX THESE ISSUES.

DRIVING ONE MORNING CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. ALSO NOTICED VAN NOT WANTING TO SHIFT INTO OVERDRIVE 6TH GEAR . WENT TO GET CODE READ P060DD WAS PRESENT . STARTED BY CHECKING OIL VERY LOW . THEN NOTICED OIL ALL OVER THE TOP OF TRANSMISSION AND LEAKING DOWN SIDE OF MOTOR FROM UNDERNEATH THE INTAKE. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION NOTICED VALLEY OF ENGINE FULL OF OIL. ADDED ABOUT 3 QUARTS OF OIL AND DROVE CAR 30 MILES LIGHT WENT OFF. I FOUND MULTIPLE TSBS ABOUT THE OIL FILTER HOUSING. CALLED DEALER THEY SAID YEP IT'S A ISSUSE AND PARTS 286.. DURING THE REPAIR AFTER I REMOVED THE INTAKE I WAS ABLE TO CONFIRM THAT IT APPEARED TO BE THE OIL FILTER ADAPTER HOUSING LEAKING OIL. IN FILLED THE ENGINE VALLEY WITH OIL. I REPLACED THE PART PLUS NEW INTAKE GASKETS AND THEN DRAINED ALL THE OIL AND COOLANT. HOPEFULLY THIS PART DOESN'T FAIL AGAIN AS I USED A OEM FROM DODGE CHRYSLER

2014 CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY HAS A BAD OIL LEAK. WE HAVE RESEARCHED AND FOUND IT TO MOST LIKELY BE THE OIL FILTER HOUSING COOLER ASSEMBLY. THERE IS OIL ALL OVER THE THE MOTOR AND UNDERNEATH ON THE DRIVERS SIDE BUT NOT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WE HAVE READ THAT THE OIL FILTER HOUSING IS EASY TO CRACK WHEN CHANGING OIL & FILTER. I HAVE ALWAYS TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER WHERE WE BOUGHT IT NEW TO HAVE IT SERVICED. MY LAST OIL CHANGE WAS DONE 4000 MILES AGO AND WE JUST STARTED HAVING THIS OIL LEAK. SO IT CANNOT BE THAT IS WAS CRACKED OR IT WOULD HAVE BEEN LEAKING AT THE TIME OF THE LAST SERVICE. THE OIL COOLER HOUSING IS A PLASTIC PART ON THE DRIVERS SIDE AND THAT IS WHERE ALL THE OIL IS LEAKING. THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED SO WE ARE EXPLORING REPAIR OPTIONS. SINCE THIS IS BECOMING A COMMON PROBLEM, A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED. WE RECENTLY BOUGHT OUR SON A 2019 DODGE CHALLENGER. IT HAS THE SAME MOTOR AS OUR VAN, SO WE AREN'T LOOKING FORWARD TO ADDRESSING THIS SAME ISSUE.

THE VAN WAS PURCHASED IN 2017. THE JERKING/SHUTTERING OF THE VEHICLE WHEN DRIVING OR HAULING ON GAS WAS THE FIRST SIGN OF DYSFUNCTION OF THE VEHICLE. THE SECOND SIGN OF FAILURE IN THE MANUFACTURING OF THIS MAKE AND MODEL OF CHRYSLER WAS THE HEAD RESTRAINT OF THE DRIVERS SEAT AND THEN WEEKS LATTER THE PASSENGER SEAT POPPED UP, WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND NOT IN MOTION AND DEPLOYED OUT OF PLACE WITHOUT IMPACT OF ANY ACCIDENT OR ETC. AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST, BUT EXTREMELY IMPORTANT THE OIL LEAKS THAT THIS VEHICLE TO THIS DAY HAVE STARTED SINCE SEPTEMBER OF 2019. WE HAVE GONE MORE THAN 3 TIMES TO DIFFERENT OIL CHANGES AND COMPANYS AND THEY KEEP INSISTING IT'S A CHRYSLER RECALL ON THIS MAKE AND MODEL. WHEN WE NOTICED THIS HUGE OIL SPILL, IS WHEN IT'S PARKED AND WE ARE READY TO GO TO OUR NEXT DESTINATION AND A POOL OF OIL SHOWS OUT! WE ARE AFRAID TO TRAVEL FAR AND/OR HAVE COMPLICATIONS LATTER. WE CAN'T EVEN ENJOY THIS VEHICLE AND GO SEE MY BROTHERS WHO ARE OFF IN COLLEGE BECAUSE THIS IS THE ONLY TRANSPORTATION VEHICLE THAT ALL 3 OF US IN THIS HOUSEHOLD CAN FIT COMFORTABLE AND BRING GOODS TO THEM WHEN IN NEED. WE DID NOT PURCHASE THIS VEHICLE TO HAVE A MEDIOCRE PRODUCT AND RESULT. WE ARE VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH THE VEHICLE AND WISH AND PRAY TO FINALLY HAVE A SOLUTION AND GOOD RESULT THIS TIME AROUND WITH FILING THIS COMPLAINT THROUGH NHTSA. IF THIS PROBLEM IS NOT FIXED SOON, WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO GO TO DALLAS AND SPEND CHRISTMAS WITH MY YOUNGER BROTHERS AT THE END OF THE MONTH. PLEASE, PLEASE, I BEG OF YOU ACT AND GIVE CUSTOMER SERVICE THAT WE NEED!

WHEN WILL THERE BE A RECALL ON THESE PROBLEMS. THESE VEHICLES SHOULD LAST 100'S OF THOUSANDS OF MILES IF TAKEN CARE AS I HAVE TAKEN CARE OF MINE. I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED IN CHRYSLER AND I HONESTLY DON'T THE JOB IS BEING DONE TO INVESTIGATE THESE PROBLEMS. MY VAN IS CURRENTLY IN A SHOP WAITING TO SEE IF THE MANUFACTURER WILL HONOR THE WARRANTY SINCE IT IS ONLY FOUR MONTHS PAST THE 60 MONTHS FROM WHEN THE VAN WAS FIRST PUT INTO SERVICE BY SOMEONE ELSE BEFORE ME I BOUGHT IT USED FROM COOKS AUTO AND I THOUGHT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY WOULD COVER ANY ENGINE PROBLEMS BUT I WAS WRONG THEY CLAIM THAT SINCE IT HAD A MANUFACTURER WARRANTY THEY HAD TO GIVE ME A DIFFERENT WARRANTY PLAN AND DID NOT EXPLAIN, I WAS TOLD I WAS COVERED BUMBER TO BUMBER UNTIL I HIT 99,111 PLEASE INVESTIGATE AND DO A RECALL ON THESE ENGINES.

FOR ABOUT A YEAR THE CAR HAS BEEN GIVING ME PROBLEMS WHILE ITS BEING DRIVEN. WHEN I COME TO A STOP IT SHAKES AND HAS CUT OFF ON ME. IT WOULD RESTART WITH NO PROBLEM. THEN IT STOPPED GIVING ME PROBLEMS FOR A LITTLE WHILE. THEN LAST THURSDAY, I GOT OFF AT AN EXIT FROM THE HIGHWAY AND WHEN I BRAKED BEHIND A CAR AT THE LIGHT, IT STOPPED A LITTLE ROUGH. I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE TO MOVE UP A BIT AND THE CAR STARTED GOING BACKWARDS REAL SLOW WHILE IT WAS STILL IN DRIVE. I HAD TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TURN IT OFF FOR A FEW SECONDS AND RESTART AND IT TOOK ME TO MY DESTINATION. I'M TERRIFIED TO DRIVE IT WITH MY GRANDCHILDREN BUT NEED MY VEHICLE. IT AMAZES ME ABOUT THE COMPLAINTS WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM AND CHRYSLER IS NOT ACKNOWLEDGING THE PROBLEM. I PRAY THAT SOMETHING TRAGIC DOESN'T HAPPEN.

ABOUT JANUARY 15, 2019 WE NOTICED A RATTLING SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT ON THE RIGHT OR PASSENGER SIDE. THE RATTLING WAS ONLY NOTICEABLE IF YOU WERE STANDING NEXT TO THE VAN WHEN IT WAS IDLING. THE RATTLING HAS GOTTEN WORSE SO WE TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER & FOUND OUT WE NEED TO REPLACE 4 CAMSHAFTS & 24 ROCKER ARMS TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THIS HAS BEEN A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS ENGINE. MOSTLY AFTER 120,000. MILES. OUR VAN ONLY HAS 94,855 MILES. STILL UNDER THE 100,000 MILE WARRANTY BUT 10 MONTHS PAST THE 5 YEAR WARRANTY. THE DEALER & CHRYSLER SCA TOLD ME THEY WON'T FIX IT UNDER WARRANTY. THIS SHOULD BE REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY SINCE WE ARE UNDER THE 100,000. MILES. THE DEALER TOLD ME IF THERE WERE ENOUGH COMPLAINTS THAT MIGHT BE ENOUGH TO START A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE. THERE IS DEFINITELY A MANUFACTURING DEFECT FOR THIS TO HAPPEN. TODAY'S ENGINES SHOULD RUN 500,000. MILES MINIMUM BEFORE HAVING TO DO MAJOR WORK TO THE ENGINE.

WHILE MY WIFE AND CHILDREN WERE MAKING A LEFT-HAND TURN IN THE FAR LEFT LANE THE VAN COMPLETELY WENT DEAD. THEY LOST ALL POWER TO THE ENGINE, LOST ALL POWER STEERING, LOST ALL ABILITY TO ACCELERATE, AND LOST ALL ABILITY TO BREAK. THE CAR TRAVELED ACROSS BOTH LANES AND LUCKILY INTO A SHOPPING CENTER TURN LANE, WHERE THEY APPLIED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO COME TO A STOP. LANDSCAPERS SAW WHAT HAPPENED AND WERE ABLE TO PUSH THE CAR INTO THE PARKING LOT. THE DASHBOARD STAYED LIT AND THE AC FAN CONTINUED TO BLOW. IT'S ALMOST AS IF THE BATTERY WAS STILL ON, BUT THEY HAD NO MECHANICAL FUNCTIONS. WE HAD THE VAN TAKEN TO TEQUESTA TIRE CO WHERE THEY DID A FULL INSPECTION. AFTER A FULL INSPECTION, THEY DETERMINED THE PROBLEM TO BE A POSSIBLE "FLUKE". AFTER ADDITIONAL RESEARCH ONLINE, THIS APPEARS TO BE A WIDER ISSUE WITH OTHER T&C OWNERS. OTHER OWNERS SAY THEY HAVE NOT FOUND THE CAUSE OF THE ISSUE AND SPEND A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF MONEY WITH NO RESOLUTION OR CAUSE.

EXACTLY ONE YEAR AGO MY VAN (72,000 MILES) STARTED MISFIRING / IDLING ROUGH (CODE: P0301), I CHANGED THE COIL AND SPARK PLUG IN CYLINDER 1. THIS DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. A SHORT TIME AFTER THE ENGINE STARTED MAKING A LOUD TICKING NOISE. I STILL HAD MILES LEFT ON MY WARRANTY SO TOOK IT FOR SERVICE. THE DEALER REPLACED BOTH CAM SHAFTS, 12 ROCKER ARMS AND 12 TAPPET-VALVE LASH ON THE BACK SIDE. THIS REPAIRED THE ISSUE UNTIL A COUPLE MONTHS LATER - THE OIL FILTER HOUSING STARTED LEAKING. REPAIRED THAT, ANOTHER HUGE ISSUE. NOW AS OF YESTERDAY, THE VAN IS SHOWING (CODE: P0304) MISFIRING AND IDLING ROUGH. I NOW FEAR THE SAME ISSUE IS BREWING ON THE FRONT SIDE (CYLINDERS 2,4,6).

WE OWN A 2014 TOWN AND COUNTRY WITH A 3.6L V6 ENGINE, AND 94,500 MILES. STILL WITHIN THE ENGINE/POWER TRAIN 100,000 MILES GUARANTEE. OUR CAR LEAKS MOTOR OIL PROFUSELY GIVEN CRACKS IN THE ENGINE OIL COOLER. CHRYSLER'S REPLACEMENT PART NUMBER IS: 68105583AF. DOCUMENTED OIL LOSS PROBLEMS APPEARED INTO MULTIPLE MODELS USING THE 3.6L ENGINE DODGE: - AVENGER ' CARAVAN ' DURANGO -CHALLENGER. JEEP: - WRANGLER AND GRAND CHEROKEE, AMONG OTHERS. FIAT CHRYSLER MANUFACTURED THE OIL FILTER HOUSING OUT OF PLASTIC TO SAVE COSTS. COMMON SENSE MANDATES THAT NOTHING ATTACHED TO THE ENGINE SHOULD BE MADE FROM PLASTIC. THEIR ENGINEERING TEAM INCURRED INTO POOR MANUFACTURING DECISIONS. THEY SHOULD RATHER USE METAL FOR ENGINE'S PARTS EXPOSED TO TORQUE, HEAT AND EXPANSION. GIVEN MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS, FIAT CHRYSLER FINALLY DISCONTINUED THE ORIGINAL PARTS NUMBERS 68105588 (THE ONE PROVIDED WITH OUR UNIT). FAIR IS TO SAY THAT THE NEW REPLACEMENTS ARE STILL MADE FROM PLASTIC. THESE DEFECTIVE PARTS ORIGINATED OIL LEAKS AND ENGINE OVERHEATING. INVOLVING SUBSTANTIAL RISKS OF ENGINE FAILURE, EXPENSIVE REPAIRS AND FIRE HAZARDS. CHRYSLER KNEW THEY HAD A PROBLEM BUT DECIDED NOT TO RECALL DEFECTIVE UNITS AND RATHER DEALING WITH CUSTOMERS ON A CASE-BY-CASE BASIS. CHRYSLER'S DEALERS WANT TO CHARGE $150 FOR INSPECTION, AND $780 FOR PARTS AND LABOR FOR REPLACEMENT. WE CALLED CORPORATE CUSTOMER SERVICE ON 1/21/2019, BUT FIAT CHRYSLER REFUSED TO AID ARGUING THAT THE 5-YEAR GUARANTEE PERIOD HAD EXPIRED. THEY ALSO REFUSED ANY GUARANTEE PERIOD EXTENSION. IT IS UNFAIR THAT THE PUBLIC MUST BEAR REPLACEMENT COST FOR POORLY MANUFACTURED PARTS. CHRYSLER SHOULD ASSUME FULL OWNERSHIP FOR MISTAKES AND RECALL DEFECTIVE UNITS, OR EXTEND THE PROTECTION GUARANTEE PERIOD FOR DEFECTIVE PARTS.

MATERIAL SELECTION OF GAS TANK FITTING AND HARD LINES RELATED TO EMISSIONS AND FUEL DELIVERY HAVE ATTRACTED RODENTS TO CHEW ON THE TANKS AND HARDLINES.

DAMAGE APPEARS TO MANIFEST ITSELF AS SOON AS 8/16/2016 AS THAT WAS THE FIRST INSTANCE WE HAD A VERY SMALL EVAPORATIVE LEAK CODE IN THE COMPUTER AND TOOK IT IN FOR REPAIR. MANUFACTURE SHOULD HAVE TAKEN STEPS TO PREVENT THE PARTS FROM BEING "TASTY". ANYTHING FROM CHANGING THE COMPOSITION OF THE MATERIAL TO ADDING PROTECTIVE TAPE IS BETTER THAN THROWING UP THEIR HANDS AND SAYING IT IS THE RODENTS FAULT.

ENGINE OIL COOLER ASSEMBLY CAN BE CRACKED CAUSING AN OIL LEAK. DISCOVERED WHILE INVESTIGATING OIL POOLING ON THE GROUND WHILE PARKED. OIL COOLER ASSEMBLY IS A PLASTIC FORMED PART WITH METAL COOLERS ATTACHED. THE OIL FILTER HOUSING IS AN INTEGRAL PART OF THIS ASSEMBLY. AUTO DEALER'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT CLAIMS THE PLASTIC COOLER ASSEMBLY IS CRACKED DUE TO OVER TIGHTENING OF THE OIL FILTER COVER AND THE PART IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. CHRYSLER HAS ALREADY IDENTIFIED THERE IS A HIGH NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE. REVIEW CHRYSLER SERVICE BULLETIN #09-008-15 AND IT HAS A LIST OF VEHICLES THAT MAY HAVE THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE CONTACTED FCA WARRANTY AND THEY CONFIRMED THE PART IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY BECAUSE IT IS NOT PART OF THE ENGINE, BUT AN ITEM ATTACHED TO THE ENGINE. THE AUTO SERVICE DEPARTMENT STATED THE OIL COOLER ASSEMBLY HAD NUMEROUS DESIGN REVISIONS BECAUSE OF CRACKING.

WITHOUT WARNING THE ENGINE AND ALL ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS (INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR LIGHTING, RADIO, WIPERS, AC-HEAT/BLOWER, BRAKE ASSIST, STEERING ASSIST, AIRBAG, SPEED INDICATOR, ETC) ALL SHUT OFF. THERE ARE NO DASH WARNING LIGHTS. THE DASHBOARD IS COMPLETELY BLACK FOR A MOMENT (UNTIL RESTART). THIS HAPPENED WHILE THE CAR WAS WARM (AFTER DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED FOR OVER 15MIN). THIS HAPPENED WHILE THE CAR WAS TRAVELLING AT APPROXIMATELY 35-MILES PER HOUR ON A CITY STREET. I WAS ABLE TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND IMMEDIATELY RESTART WITHOUT STOPPING. THIS WAS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION. IF I WAS ON A POORLY LIT ROAD OR GOING AROUND A CORNER, OR AT A HIGHER SPEED, OR A LESS EXPERIENCED DRIVER, THIS COULD EASILY HAVE BEEN A FATAL ACCIDENT. THIS WAS PREVIOUSLY REPORTED TO CHRYSLER AND THYE REPORTED THE PROBLEM 'FIXED' LESS THAN 1-YEAR AGO (REPORTED TO CHRYSLER CORPORATE IN EARLY AUGUST 2017 AND SUPPOSEDLY FIXED BY A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AUGUST 11 2017). THE PROBLEM IS NOT FIXED. THIS HAPPENS WITHOUT WARNING AND VERY LIMITED (LESS THAN ONCE PER MONTH). IT SEEMS MORE FREQUENT IN COLD WEATHER.

WE LOST ALL POWER, HAD NO POWER STEERING AND JUST HAD TO HIT THE BRAKES, PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND RESTART IT AND CONTINUE DRIVING. THE SECOND TIME HAPPENED WHILE MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN ONTO A BUSY HIGHWAY. AFTER MAKING THE TURN THE VAN LOST POWER AND AGAIN WE HAD TO PUT IT INTO PARK, RESTART IT AND ACCELERATE AS TRAFFIC WAS COMING QUICKLY BEHIND US.

ENGINE STALLS RANDOMLY, WHILE IN MOTION, HIGHWAY, CITY, COUNTRY. VEHICLE JUST STOPS RUNNING MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO CONTROL STEERING, STOPPING. NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT SEVERAL TIMES, DUE TO THE VEHICLE BEHIND NEARLY CRASHING INTO OURS, AND THE VEHICLE MUST BE PULLED OFF THE ROAD WHILE ABRUPTLY DECELERATING WHICH IS DANGEROUS WHEN YOU MUST CROSS SEVERAL LANES OF TRAFFIC, AS THE VEHICLE CANNOT BE RESTARTED WHILE MOVING. VEHICLE HAS 56K MILES. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. VEHICLE MUST BE PUT INTO PARK TO RESTART REQUIRING THE VEHICLE TO BE PULLED OFF THE ROADWAY. THE VEHICLE OFTEN DOES NOT RESTART IMMEDIATELY. AFTER TAKING IT TO THE DEALER, THEY DUPLICATED AND VERIFIED THE STALLING ISSUE AND SUGGESTED TO REPLACE THE WIN MODULE, WHICH WE AGREED TO HAVE THEM DO, BECAUSE WE BELIEVE IT IS A EXTREMELY IMPORTANT SAFETY CONCERN. PRICE $700. IT LOOKS LIKE THERE WAS AN EARLIER RECALL FOR THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM ON THE 2008 TO 2010 MODEL. WE FEEL THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. MANY TIMES WE HAVE CHILDREN IN THE CAR. THESE INCIDENTS CAUSE ALL PASSENGERS TO BE DISTRESSED. PROBLEMS STARTED IN DEC 2016 AND WAS INFREQUENT AT FIRST BUT BECAME VERY FREQUENT IN FEBRUARY AND MARCH. CHECKED BY A LOCAL SHOP IN FEBRUARY. THEY SUGGESTED TAKING IT TO THE DEALER.

ENGINE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. FEB-8, 2017 WAS FOURTH TIME THIS OCCURRED IN LAST 4 MONTHS. HAS HAPPENED WHILE STOPPED AT A LIGHT, TURNING LEFT INTO AN INTERSECTION, AND DRIVING 35MPH STRAIGHT ON A CITY STREET. WEATHER HAS BEEN BOTH WARM AND COLD, VAN HAS BEEN WELL WARMED UP OR RECENTLY-STARTED; THERE DOESN'T SEEM TO BE A NOTICEABLE PATTERN. THE BEHAVIOR IS SIMILAR TO WHAT IT WOULD BE IF THE KEY FOB WAS TURNED FROM ON TO ACC -- E.G. THE RADIO IS STILL PLAYING BUT THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF. ALL POWER TO BRAKES AND STEERING IS LOST; I DON'T KNOW IF THE AIRBAGS ARE STILL FUNCTIONING AT THIS POINT. IN ALL FOUR CASES, THE CAR WAS EASILY RE-STARTED BY FIRST TURNING THE KEY FOB TO OFF, THEN STARTED AGAIN. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AS IT CAN OCCUR SEEMINGLY AT ANY TIME, WITHOUT NOTICE.

I WAS DRIVING THROUGH A WATER PUDDLE ON A TWO LANE CITY STREET WHEN THE BACKWASH OF WATER FROM A TRUCK IN FRONT ENTERED MY ENGINE THROUGH THE AIR INTAKE DUCTING AND CAUSED THE ENGINE TO LOCK UP (HYDROLOCKED) DISABLING MY CAR AND LEAVING IT INOPERABLE. THIS IMMOBILE SITUATION EXPOSED MY WIFE AND I TO A POSSIBLE COLLISION AS CARS PASSED US. I HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED FROM THE SITE. LATER EVALUATION BY A LOCAL MANUFACTURER'S DEALER REVEALED THAT THE ENGINE WOULD NOT TURN OVER AND NEEDED REPLACED WITH AN ESTIMATE TO REPAIR OF $9,280. I BELIEVE THIS INCIDENT WAS CAUSED BY A FAULTY DESIGN WHERE THE ENGINE AIR INTAKE DUCT OPENING IS TOO CLOSE TO GROUND LEVEL. THE CONSUMERS COMPREHENSIVE INSURANCE COVERAGE COVERED THE DAMAGED AND ADVISED THE DEALER, TO LOCATE A USED ENGINE. AFTER THE ENGINE WAS INSTALLED, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START.
