I have written an email today to: [email protected]; [email protected], [email protected] about the following issue on my 2013 town and country touring. I am hoping they will respond to my request asap. Here is the note (minus the personal details): on july 27, 2021, i went to my driveway and saw that something was amiss with the driverā€™s headrest. It seemed to have deployed for no reason. I googled this and learned that it is a defective active head restraint (ahr) system in many chrysler vehicles, where the plastic breaks off and the headrest deploys unexpectedly when the car is not involved in an accident. I went to have a closer look and sure enough, the plastic piece in the headrest had broken off, causing the headrest to deploy. Because the plastic is broken, i cannot get the headrest to go back into place. This is definitely a defective part in the manufacturing of the vehicle. I am lucky that i was not driving at the time as i am sure it would have given me whiplash on top of the shock of having something like that explode behind my head which could have caused an accident.i read online that there are several class action suits in process for this exact issue against fiat chrysler automobiles. I donā€™t necessarily want to take part in the law suit -- i just want to get this headrest fixed so that the car is safe to drive again. How can such an important component of the car just give away like that, time and time again, and not be a recall? there have been other recall issues on this car regarding the airbag -- but not this headrest, although i believe that fiat chrysler is well aware of the issue.in any case, since it is not a recall issue, i am asking that you kindly extend my warranty to 10 years/unlimited mileage to cover this faulty headrest, and i will get it fixed as soon as possible. I am attaching pictures to show you the headrest, vin, and odometer. Please rectify this situation. Thank you

My airbag light comes on and off continually when i am driving my vehicle. This issue has occurred since the vehicle was purchased. I believe if this issue continues it may cause the airbag not to deploy or to deploy in error. This is very concerning. Dealership has failed to repair this issues after 3 attempts. The vehicle is on a street or highway when issue occurs.

My vehicle was in an accident recently where the front end had to be totally replaced and the airbags did not deploy

The contact owns a 2013 chrysler town and country. While driving approximately 20 mph, the air bag warning light illuminated. The vehicle was previously repaired under nhtsa campaign number: 13v291000 (air bags). The vehicle was taken to the dealer but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 56,440.

Air bag light comes on randomly. Even after service, air bag light remains unpedictable.this is a serious safety issue that has been reported by many owners which chrysler needs to resolve asap.

While driving straight on a city street at approximately 45mph, the passenger headrest airbag deployed.there was no collision, and i was not rear ended.

The seat belt warning light came while driving the car. I took it to a chrysler service center and they told me a sensor had gone out and none of the air bags would operate if in an accident. The cost to replace this part will cost me $600.00

The airbag light on my 2013 town & country will not turn off. And i cannot determine what is causing the airbag light to turn on. The dealer could not determine the cause of the airbag light either.

Rented a minivan from avis at slc airport late july 2013. On the highway immediately after leaving the airportmy knee bumped the mass of keyring objects and turned the engine off as i was just getting up to 60mph. I noticed the vehicle slowing down and determined i had accidentally shut it down. It would not start. I shifted to neutral and restarted the engine, shifted back to drive.only one of the 5 passengers even noticed the slowdown.under different circumstances this could have resulted in an accident. If it is the practice of rental companies to bind keys like this the problem could be widespread and may have resulted in an accident already, thus this report. Given my experience i believe the practice of binding all the keys and other plastic doo-dahs with a stiff wire cable to be an accident in the waiting. In my casethe seat was a little forward and i moved it back a couple of inches to avoid having the keys dance on my knee as we drove. At a stop i cut the wire ring and put all the extras in the glove compartment and continued the trip with a single fob-key. The keys: i was given set of keys bound by a wire cable. Two fobs, two spare keys (normally inserted in the fobs) , three plastic add-ons (one held a paper slip identifying the vehicle, one avis call number and one macys loyalty card)i have no issues with the vehicle as it worked fine, nor with the rental company as their service was also fine.i do take issue with the practice of binding the keys with a wire cable that must be cut (leather-man tool in my case)to drive safely. I suspect most renters will not have a tool handy nor risk the wrath of the renter in cutting the wire cable. Note i took a few pictures of the key ring and objects should it be useful.to avis credit they were happy to have all the keys returned and were not concerned i'd cut the cable.

I was driving down the road and the passenger headrest deployed.fortunately no-one was in the passenger seat. Dealership says it is broken and since my car is out of warranty i have to pay to fix it.this is a major safety malfunction on the headrest.

Driver and front passenger air bags(seat headrests) exploded and smacked with significant force into the back of driver and front passenger heads causing severe headaches.no accident, no braking, just driving at 50 mph.we have only 18000 miles on our vehicle. When we took it to the local chrysler dealer, and after they did some research for approximately an 1 1/2 hours, they had no idea what had caused both headrests to explode but they could not just be relocked because they were severely damaged and we could not drive the car.they told us that we would be without our vehicle for at least three weeks. Told us we would have to get a rental car. Please confirm other incidents of this nature and let us know what repairs will be done and if the car will be safe to drive following the repairs.

My husband was driving down a straight road and all the air bags on the passenger side of the van deployed for no apparent reason. Police came to the scene and made an incident report which notes that there is no damage to the outside of the vehicle and did not find any reason why the air bags should have deployed.

The tipm is junk. I have taken 3 places to be checked and the fix is $1000 for a vehicle that has 37,400 miles on it. It started after the original 36,000 miles of course. It will randomly not start in the mornings or after it sits for 8 hours. It's awful. It's become a vehicle that you can't trust.

I have major electrical issues with my van that involves several components including my airbags. While driving down the road the wipers operate uncontrolablyseveral warning lights come on including the airbag light. The blind spot indicators and park assist and traction control abs is all unavailable at the time of it acting up. I have taken it to several dealerships all chrysler and none of them can diagnose the issue. The vehicle acts up no matter what it is doing whether it is driving down the road or stationary. This problem has been going on since it had 41,000 miles on it and sisnce i purchased it used with 41,000 miles on it. I have talked with chrysler headquarters and they will not respond to me by email or phone call at this time. They initially talked to me and said they would be of no financial assistance to me because the factory warranty is up, and not they will not respond to my calls or emails.

Drivers passive restraint head rest exploded on it's own, car was sitting in a garage over night and next morning head rest had deployed.it seems there was a recall on the problem in june of 2013. Dealership says no recall. Cost $1000 to fix.

Both headrests deployed involuntarily and unexpectedly when the ignition was being been turned off after i pulled in the my driveway. The van was stationary and there was no impact or cause for the deployment/. I was in the driver's seat the headrest hit the back of my head with force. We were unable to reset the headrests as the plastic clip holding the metal rod had broken on both headrests

A year ago the front of the headrest on the passenger seat popped out while driving on a city street.i attempted to push it back in later but it would not stay.i recently learned that the piece that holds it into place was plastic, and it broke.i am now concerned with this happening on the driver side.in addition, the headrest cannot be repaired.

We were driving down the highway didn't hit anything and the headrest airbag deployed. We were starting to slow down to turn and the headrest airbag deployed

Steering wheelcontrols including the horn and possibly the steering wheel air bag are intermittent.>>so far on three separate occasions while stopped & driving all electrical parts of the steering wheel have just quit for a day or two and then for no reason begin working again. Unfortunately every time it goes dead and we arrange to take it in for service it starts working and the dealer says they can't do anything unless it is completely broken and not intermittent. Since chrysler minivans have been recalled in the past for this "clock spring" problem, chrysler should authorize replacement of this known safety defect(no horn or airbag intermittently with out warning) without being required to do so by the government.i guess i could authorize the dealer to replace the known intermittent clock spring at my own expense and then hope that sooner or latter the recall is expanded to include the 2013 model year.or i can hope it quits long enough to be taken to the dealer with dead electrical parts on the steering wheel before my 36 month/36,000 mile warranty runs out this june . I attempted to turn the wheel while stopped and while driving to both get it working again when not working and also to get it go go dead again at the dealer when it was working but the intermittent problem does no seem to have any pattern of be effectedby steering wheel movement. The third time it quite was saturday night 9 jan 2016 and began working on monday 11 jan 2016 on the way to the dealer.

Airbag stays on.had it checked an reset.came back on day later.can be in motion or parked on my carport.not on recall list.

In august of 2014 i received the recall notice #p25/nhtsa 14v-234 in reference to the defect of the rear quarter vent window switch. On 08/13/14 i took my vehicle in for the repair, i am still waiting on that repair. The dealer advise that there were no parts available to service my vehicle and stated they would contact me when parts are available; i am still waiting for that call? so the calling starts on 9/17/14, i called the service dept. They advise no parts. Same results on 10/17, 11/17, and 12/17/14. On 1/6/15 i receive a second notice on the recall so i called again on 1/9/15 and again the service department man says? no parts from chrysler. I advised them i find it hard to believe that they issued this recall and after 5 months there are no parts to fix this switch.i get a song and dance routine and he advised he'll call me when the parts come in.i think this is unacceptable and bad customer service from both the dealer and the manufacture if this is really the case.

This is the second time this issue has occurred while driving with my family. The first time, my wife was taking a left turn and the vehicle completely shut off. We towed the vehicle to the shop, and no codes popped in the diagnostic system or anything. They suggested changing spark plugs, cleaning filter, etc... $450 later. Today i was driving the vehicle (after buying a brand new battery) going around 40-50 mph, and the vehicle shut off completely. Thank god i was able to pull off the road. There are no computer codes, and i'm not sure what to do. This isn't safe, and it's scary to drive.

It turned out to be the master power cylinder or something like that.

I own a 2013 town and county and had a recall service for nhtsa #14v-234.windows were disabled by the dealership as part of servicing, we have gone two summer seasons now without the use of the rear windows.the van design makes it difficult to enjoy the windows down without the rear windows to release the pressure build up.dealership has stated on status check for other services that they are only getting limited number of parts and we are on a list when they are available.seems unacceptable to wait that long to use your vehicle the way it was purchased.

Air bag light comes on randomly. Even after service, air bag light remains unpedictable.this is a serious safety issue that has been reported by many owners which chrysler needs to resolve asap.

My vehicle started shutting off while parked it would shut complety down as if the batter had been disconnected, but it would always restart and i would have to reset my radio clock.after about a week of this happening, it began to have trouble starting.it would turn and turn like a vehicle out of gas.eventually it would start at some point after i stopped trying and let it sit for awhile.my vehicle then shut down twice while driving at about 45 miles and hour, but it started up.i took it to pep boys to get diagnostic testing and was told the tpim module is going bad and this would cost over $1400 to repair. I was totally shocked by how many complaints i have read online about the town and country as well as other chryslers and dodges having this problem, but more shocked at the fact that this problem isn't being recalled in the town and country.this is dangerous and really makes me never want to buy another chrysler again.it really sucks because this repair is much too costly for an american made car.i really trust that enough people will let it be known so something can be done about this, and this problem can be fixed by chrysler.

My wife had both my sons in the car with her.she then put the car in park and was able to turn the car back on. This has happened two times before this. Each time i have brought it to the dealer and they say there is nothing showing up and it doesn't do it when they drive the vehicle. Chrysler was contacted on 4/1/19 and they issued a case number 58294804.they asked if i wanted to get it fixed or a buyback.i said buyback. I called on 4/3/19 to check the status and they said they are still investigating.

Wireless ignition nod car has problem startingwon't start have to push key in turn on and off jiggle it around to get started parked. Sometimes once started would turn engine offhave to play with ignition fob again to get startedhappens every time i try to start vehicle

This is my third complaint of this issue, and its 7th occurrence. First time at dealership they could not find problem, only tested battery and said it was good and sent me back on my way. Second time at dealership, they think they found the problem and put in an entire new wireless ignition module and two new sets of keys, go to pick it up tonight all *fixed* and its dead...again...same as before.. 7th time in two weeks, third time at chrysler dealership. Car will not start, no power, no nothing, no attempt. Everything is turned off nightly, all interior lights, cabin lights, radio, nothing plugged in locked and checked and dead in the morning. Why must i keep going through this. How many times am i going to be stranded and sit and wait hours to be towed and go through this over and over again???this is a safety issue, what if next time i am stranded with my young children?but chrysler can't find anything/?

Not sure the problem, but when the push button start is used it sometimes wont start even though it is trying to turn over. Checking the internet i see lots of people are saying its the new computer board. This could be a problem if i have my wife out on a trip and the board or whatever it is fails. Also could be a fire hazard if its fuel related.

The engine seizes without warning. It simply shuts off. This effectively limits both the breaking and the power steering. This is dangerous as there are no warning light indicators, no audible notifications, no error codes. Going 70 mph we were nearly killed when the motor died and we lost our breaking and steering ability. This has happened on multiple occasions with no rhyme nor reason. Long trips or short, fast or slow, interstate or in town. It needs to be addressed as this is a major issue. A cursory glance at internet forums will reveal that mine is not simply an isolated event.

Problem consistently cranking car. Dealership diagnosed need for new tipm system. This car is only 5 years old! we drive it because our monthly payment is $260!! $1340 to repair a fuse box is insanely expensive. Especially for a one income family of 5. This pricing is inflated and not affordable.

While driving van shut down. All electoral worked but no brakes or power steering.like the key. Was in acc not on

My vehicle shuts down randomly. I can be going 55mph, 45 mph, 35mph, 25mph, 10mph, at a stop light, as well as turning, it has happened during any and all of those. No turn signals, power steering, brakes. Been happening months. 1 dealer and 2 mechanics cannot find any issue. Occured 7 times today in a 3 mile round trip.

While driving my van, especially at speeds of 20-30 miles per hour, shuts off , leaving me with no electric brakes or steering, no acceleration, nothing. This has been happening intermittently for a couple years. The mechanics at aaa have trouble recreating the problem. About 14 months ago they replaced the tipm . The electronic aspects of the van were haywire, dash lights flashing, born blaring etc. This is also occurring again but the tipm isn't the issue according to aaa. It is terrifying to drive and unexpectedly have the engine shut off. I have diminished ability to safely steer and brake in these instances. This happens when going straight as well as when turning. The horn going crazy has happened when the vehicle shuts off.

After almost a month at the dealer, replacing the wireless ignition module twice and the battery... Running all possible tests, today they believe the issue is related to the bad tipm... My van was not part of the recall for the tipm yet i have the same problem as everyone else. My van dies every 4 days and has been sitting at the dealer for almost a month, i was called 3 times to pick it up after being fixed and it was dead in their parking lot, and died an additional 4 more times in their possession. Like clock work, it dies every 4 days.let's hope this time they really found it and if they did why was mine not part of this nation wide recall for this issue? car dies, won't start, no power every 4 days.

Regards chrysler recall p25 / nhtsa 14v-234.recall was initiated around june 2014.repair parts were not then available, so a notice was issued to simply disconnect the affected switch, disablingthe rear quarter vent switch.we did that.now, we have received a second important safety recall notice from chrysler to take the vehicle to the dealer for switch replacement.but, the dealer now says the part may be available in april 2015, nearly a year after the initial recall notice.this does not, i believe, "...remedy the defect within a reasonable time..."ps - was unable to make this form work on internet explorer 11 / windows 7.it performed satisfactorily on mac safari 7.1.2.

Tipm fuel relay went bad not allowing fuel pump to get power and start vehicle. Dealership denied me buying repair kit cbwpr091aa because my vehicle has not been recalled. This is a 16 dollar fix. Instead they tried selling a whole tipm @ $869.00. Chrysler needs to recall these vehicles and fix this. I'm fortunate enough to have the know how to do it myself and bought the part online and did this myself.

While driving at about 15 to 20 mph the engine shut off with no steering assist or braking aid or anything powered.after coasting to a stop and shifting into park the engine started normally.there were no warning lights or other indicators of a problem.it was like the switch had simply been turned off except that it was physically still in the run position and had to be turned to off to attempt to restart the engine.

Car will not start sometimes no shut offtipm issue no recall yet

The electrical and engine shut off more than a dozen times over several months, summer, fall and winter, while i was driving in city traffic, with no other known correlations. All electrical systems and power steering and power brakes also ceased to function. This necessitated my placing the transmission into neutral to reengage the ignition, which immediately restarted the engine. .perhaps also related: after overnight, immediately after engaging the ignition, starter and briefly the engine, the engine shut off when i released the ignition switch. This happened several times in a row. Only recently has this problem first occurred duurinh the several years we have had the car. Only after i engaging the gas pedal while engaging the ignition and increasing the rpms did the engine begin to function normally. This has happened several days when the temperature was about 30f.

The car was purchased new in 2012. As of today the actual mileage on the car is only 9,761.the original buyers of the car returned it to the dealer 5 times for no start or engine dying . The tipm was replaced under a recall on the second visit, but the other 4 times the dealer could not repair because they could not duplicate the symptoms. I recently purchased the car not knowing of the history. On the fourth start, engine would crank but not run. After the 6th attempt, it sprang to life.i drove it 60 milesto my home but would not start again.it appears to have a hard failure at last.the sellers are now in their 80s and were afraid to drive it and be stranded.this is a true definition of a lemon.the car was to replace my grand caravan which has always been reliable.. After delivery of the car, i was given the full service history so i can verify what i said above. I am an engineer and a ase certified master mechanic.

On multiple occasions while driving, the vehicle has simply powered itself off without warning. In addition to the engine cutting off, all interior features and lights also lose power. To restart the vehicle, you must remove the key from the ignition, put the car in park, and then put the key back in with your foot on the brake.this is incredibly dangerous. Diagnostic error codes do not capture the cause of the issue.

The. Car had electrical failure started with the left frontbturn signal. Next mynradio would shut down and restart on its own. Then the radio shut down and i has to restart it. Next the dashboard would light up the abs system or engine light and then cut them off. Next it shut completely down while i was parked. It was cold that say and a boost started it up. Next it shut down whlle i was driving a car full of children home from school. It lit up each warning light and shut down. It would not start with a jump. I had the battery and alternator checked by a specialist who approved both. Now after owning this van after 9 months im ready to send it back. I should also mention that the right passenger door will refuse to open by switch.

Multiple times windshield wipers began going and warning lights flashed inside the car and windows went down with out being powered and doors open and shut by themselves. Three times the car engine spontaneously shut down while driving losing power steering and brakes. Had it to multiple dealers - no code on the computer system so no one would do anything to fix it. Frequent conversations with customer service for chrysler... Nothing they can do. We've been instructed by chrysler to keel a journal every time our car shuts down while driving... That's their solution. Even with this journal (assuming my family continues to survive the shut downs where we lose control of the brakes and steering while moving down the road) if there is no code chrysler will have no solution.

The vans power would flicker on and off multiple times. The windshield wipers would turn on and off. The radio on and off. All dash lights on and off. Then driving 26mph one day it did this and the whole engine shut off with the keys in the ignition while driving. I lost all power, power steering, and brakes! battery was replaced and the issues kept getting worse.

Van completely shut down while driving with no advance warning. Could not even put van in neutral to push it off the road. Needs alternator replaced. Van is only 2 1/2 years old, less than 50,000 miles on it. Other chrysler models have recalls for alternator, but not the 2013 town & country yet dealer cannot get an alternator due to overwhelming problems the part is out of stock.

Car dies/stalls at random when moving. Have been going 70 mph down the rd and it has happened. When this happens it causes us to lose powered steering. This is extremely dangerous! it has stalled/died at various speeds. Sometimes soon starting the vehicle will die right away. Alternator has been replaced and that is not the issue.

I was driving my family home from vacation in florida and while we were on the interstate in new york my town and country lost all power, almost causing an accident.the red battery light along with abs, traction control and engine light all came on and the vehicle would go any faster than 20 mile per hour.i was able to get off an exit and found a near by advanced auto and had the battery and alternator tested. Both tests came back ok. Started back for home and while driving again the car experienced the same issue.

This is the 5th time in less than two weeks!!! how many times is this going to happen?it has already been to chrysler who somehow can't find anything wrong!! on its way getting towed again back to the dealership. 5 times the battery has died for no apparent cause. Of course i am not over paranoid and go through the trouble every single time i am done driving to turn off the interior lights, turn off the radio wait for every single light to turn off and take pictures of all lights off and guess what ...dead? but the battery tested fine according to dealership and found nothing on the scans. When they jump it, lasts for less than 24 hours, when they charge it, lasts for 4 days each time. Wont start, no electrical, nothing turns on, fob don't work....awesome!hope chrysler is enjoying footing this bill for towing, labor and rentals every time cause i certainly am not enjoying missing work, endangering the welfare of my children in the middle of winter, being stranded at hospice and every minute so they can tell me they can't find a problem!!!!!

I was driving today i lost power to the radio andto the dash cluster and all the waring lights came on the wipers came on and you couldn't turn them off and the van stayed running but you didn't know how fast you were going then everything would come back on normal then it would go crazy again it's in the dealership now

Total integrated power module my van was having problems starting they lacked intelligence by telling me it was because i needed a tune up and some other minor fixes 2 days later it won't start again.

Well this is my 5th complaint in the last two weeks. My vehicle has been in the dealership for the past two weeks, it has been towed, jumped and brought in several times. This is the 5th time in two weeks that my car has been in the dealer for the same exact issue with no fix. I was called this morning that it was "fixed" and ready for pickup. I arrived tonight, got my keys and the van is dead and won't start in the dealer parking lot. It was brought in this time (well actually never left) since last time dealer called saying it was fixed it was dead in the parking lot...again.. Twice dead in their parking lot "ready for pickup" they have not found the problem but like clock work every 4 days it is dead. Here goes round 6, prepare for my next complain in 6 days since the previous 5 still have yet to be responded to.

My 2013 chrysler town and country keep cutting off while i was driving even on the highway which is very dangerous with 6 children in the car.i took it to the dealer to diagnose the problem nothing read on his machine so he referred me to chrysler.i took had it towed to chrysler who said it was the starter after misdiagnosing my car they told me it was the totally integrated power module and it would cost $1700 after i already had to pay 548 for a new starter.i chose to have my car towed back home as i could not afford to pay that amount and a car payment.after further research i discovered this to be a common problem with chrysler town and country where they have settled class action suit in 2006 for this issue causing deaths in california and in 2012 in south carolina.the tipm(totally integrated power module) has been a common problem in the chrysler town and country. My car was in motion several times and cut off and then just would not start. I had to have it towed to my home and then to chrysler in lawrenceville.

We purchased our town & country new in 2012. We've put just over 51,000 miles on it. It's been a great vehicle. We've been to florida and back twice (21 hr drive), and all over the eastern half of the country. It was a great vehicle thus far so i expected it to last until well over 51,000 miles. All of a sudden a few months ago, while driving, the van would just shut off. Loss of power steering, radio off, nothing. You have to attempt to pull over to the side of the road with no power steering, put the vehicle in park, and turn it back on. It does this randomly. It's done it while i've been on a highway driving 65 mph and it's done it in town driving 25-30 mph. We never know when it will happen. It's extremely dangerous, could potentially kill my family, and it's amazing how many of the same story i've read about this vehicle. We've taken it to be diagnosed and looked at multiple times and no one can find anything wrong with it. It's paid off so it's going bye bye. Won't ever buy a chrysler again.

Dash lights will illuminate which include, electrical light, batter light, gas light, check engine light, tc light, and abs light as well as wipers will run even though wipers are off.

Van will shut off while driving between the speeds of 20 to 40. No warnings or signs just stops running.we have had the van scanned and no codes or issues the tech had us replace the batter but the issue is still occurring and with more research on the web this is a common problem with no solution.this is happened multiple times and is very dangerous.we purchased the van used and there seems to be no recalls for it.

2013 chrysler town & country.consumer writes in regards to rear quarter vent switch recall notice and lack of parts.recall # 14v234000.

While driving on pa turnpike, during moderate traffic.the cars engine and electrical power shutoff for at least 5 seconds.dash lights also shutoff.the car engine and electrical turned back on and we continued driving.we also had other incidences when backing out of the driveway and the car would stall.it took our dealership over two months of diagnostics and several repairs to fix the problem.dealership added an external fuel pump and also replaced something in the dashboard which involved the ignition.so far we haven't had any other issues but i hear of similar issues on other chrysler vehicles and wonder if town and country should be investigated for ignition problems.

Received an important safety recall notice from chrysler about rear quarter vent window switch. I allowed my service department that services my van to disconnect this switch, but chrysler does not seem concerned about this problem.

The tipm is bad causing a fpr problem, causing cold starts or no start as well as stalling or a complete power drain of a brand new battery purchased 11.22.20 this should be a recall

Engine stalls while driving. I took the van to the dealership and they couldn't find anything wrong. It's happened at least three more times since then. Taking the van to dealership next week for oil change and have them check it again. It happened once on the highway and twice on the street during rush hour

The telematics module goes bad in these models.loosing all gauges and wiper control without warning.this often results in costly diagnostics that leave the driver in an unsafe vehicle.the vehicle will still drive and operate.this can happen in motion or stationary.

I received a recall on the rear vent window switch from chrysler several months ago and i went to the dealer and they told me there were no parts available yet and that i should receive another mail shortly when the parts are available.i just received another recall notice in the mail and called the dealer to make an appointment for the repair and they told me that there were still not parts available.if this is a safety item, why do you let the manufacturers have several months before repairing vehicles while the owners take their lives at risk everyday?is this recall going to take as long as the jeep recall where the company is supposed to add a trailer towing package to keep jeeps from catching fire if hit in the rear end?i bet those owners are unhappy about possibly riding to their death while waiting.you should give companies only a certain time period to repair vehicles before they start paying penalties.

My 5 year old daughter was climbing out of the driver side power sliding door when she must have bumped the button to close the door.it closed on her head just behind her ear and kept pressure on it without releasing.my wife had to jump out and firmly push the door open to dislodge her head.she had an indentation on her head and a good sized bruise...not to mention she was terrified and screaming!we are so blessed that it wasn't her neck that got stuck in there.i did a little research online and have found videos where people put things like pencils and blocks of wood in between the door and the pillar and the door snaps them like they are twigs.this is terribly unsafe!chrysler needs to do something about this.very disappointed!!!!what kind of family vehicle is this???

For the third time the vehicle has shut off while driving on the highway, losing all power steering causing a safety issue.the automatic lights have also shut off multiple times at night while near and passing other cars. We have almost been struck due to these conditions.

While driving at night with the headlight switch in the auto position, the headlights suddenly turned off leaving the road immediately in front dark. Speed of travel at time of the incident was 60 mph. There were cars in front and in the rear. To avoid a potential accident, i quickly turned to headlight switch to the manual on position and the headlights came back on again. Prior to this incident, there were numerous occasions where the headlights would not turn on when the switch was in the auto position. On all of these occasions the switch had to be turned to the manual on position for the headlights to turn on. Maybe unrelated but when the headlights are on, regardless of whether the switch is in the auto or manual on position, the low beam indicator never appears in the dashboard, only the park lights are indicated.

Shortly after encountering a rain storm, where we needed continuous windshield whippers, all interior dash lighting and gauge lights were extinguished and remain so for an extended period of time.since that time, when ever the whippers are in use for 3-4 minutes the dash lights simply shut down regardless of exterior lighting conditions.exterior head lights and running lights continue working.this problem seems to happen quicker now that in late may. This problem makes driving at night a challenge as speed gauges and fuel gauges are no longer visible when whippers are in use.two separate chrysler dealers simply can not diagnose a problem or a cure.

We were driving down the highway at night at approx. 60 mph on cruise control when unexpectedly, the windshield wipers came on, the engine abruptly accelerated, and the high beams flashed on, and all the dash/warning lights came on at once. This lasted for about 5 seconds then everything went black, then returned to normal. The engine did not stop running. We continued driving, but it was very frightening. We suspect this is a problem with the tipm, but it has only happened once and we have not been able to reproduce it.

I was driving and the van shut off and lost all power when going 60 mph. I lost control off the brakes, power steering, all electrical and engine power was gone.

I have a 2013 chrysler town and country van. It is specially equipped with a lift and hand controls due to my being a disabled driver. On august 7. 2015, me and my family were heading home to west virginia from new york, and the van stalled. We waited for about 30 minutes and it started up again. We went on our way for a while, and had to stop for gas. When we tried to start the engine, nothing happened. It was dead, long story short, we called a wrecker and had it towed to a local chrysler dealer and had to rent a car to get back home. We called the dealer a few days later and it turns out the problem is the tipm device which is the computer system that effects the whole vehicle. The dealer has had the van for 3 weeks now, waiting for the part to arrive. After extensive research, i have discovered there is a national backorder for this particular part, and there is actually a class action suite against chrysler for this same problem. I'm just curious to know why, if this is a known problem, why are they still installing these devices knowing they may ultimately fail. As i said in the beginning, i am a disabled driver, now without my wheelchair accessible van. So i am having to depend on my elderly father to get me to and from work. It is very frustrating to say the least.

I took our van in for routine maintenance and was informed that there was a recall out for the rear quarter panel window motor.i later found out (they failed to tell me and after trying to open the window i read through the paperwork they gave me to find out that the switch had been unplugged)that they had unplugged the switch.this was on june 16, 2014 and now it is january 12, 2015 and the condition has still not been resolved.when i call, i am told that chrysler has not provided the replacement switches.this time delay is not an acceptable correction of the problem and i still continue to receive recall notices from them about the problem.it appears that there is a lack of response to the issue and that their records are not complete in that they have already unplugged my switch but i continue to receive notices about the problem.

2013 chrysler town & country touring van.to our surprise, shortly after owning the vehicle it would randomly just shut off all power while driving on the road or expressway.the first time this occurred we were on i-75 when all power stopped, the quickest thought was to put the van in neutral and restart the vehicle. We began to attempt to problem solve and kept zoning in on the fob and ignition area. My daughter and i were driving trying to re-enact a time it had stalled when i had gone over a speed bump. I began to tap the fob and it completely lost power and shut down. Each time the fob was tapped the power would shut down.(we took video on our phone). We were elated to finally have an answer.my son in law who is very savvy in automobiles and researching on line found there were over three hundred (300) complaints for this exact issue'a 'faulty ignition switch'.we had taken this vehicle in to two reputable car repair service centers, one being a chrysler dealer and neither could duplicate the problem.once we targeted (solved) the issue, i took it to my reputable service center who confirmed it indeed was a 'faulty ignition switch'.i felt the need to express my heart as this is/was a very disturbing situation to be driving and randomly without warning have this van completely shut down in very busy day to day traffic.also during all this my husband unexpectantly passed away as we were trying to find a resolution for this, fortunately i persevered to solve the problem as no one else could figure it out.i am hoping you will take into consideration my plight for restitution for the emotional, physical, financial and most of all the safety distress this situation has had on my life.i hope chrysler will stand by its superior quality and standards.i have high regard for the minivans through the years as this was the third one we have owned.

2013 chrysler town & country.consumer writes in regards to rear quarter vent window switch recall and lack of parts.

Received an important safety recall notice from chrysler about rear quarter vent window switch.many months ago i allowed my service department that services my van to disconnect this switch, but chrysler does not seem concerned about this problem.i bought this van for a large amount of money and would think they could get this switch and replace as their first notice said they would.while i am sending this complaint i have been on hold with chrysler for over twenty minutes now.

More than six months ago, i received safety recall notice number: p25/nhtsa 14v-234. This notice addresses the potential fire hazard caused by defective rear quarter vent window switches. I have requested that the dealer repair or replace the switch on four occasions. The response has always been "we cannot get the repair parts to fix the condition". The dealer also said that they usually just disconnect the switch instead of repairing the safety defect.i find this answer totally unacceptable, and want my vehicle repaired as soon as possible. Please advise me what the next step should for correction of the safety recall issue.

On occasion at least four different times in the past two months, my vehicle has completely shut off while i am driving it. In an instant, a warning comes on my dash that has a lightening bolt, the engine and all electrical/power shuts off, the wheel locks, and i am only able to brake. I have taken it to the dealership where they charged me $100 to find what the issue was, even though unsuccessful. They said because the vehicle showed no codes, they didnā€™t know the reason for the malfunction, and sent me home. I called chrysler recall and they said because there are no open recalls, they are unable to help me. When searching online, i see a lot of people have had this exact same issue but no one helps them fix it. Lawsuits have emerged. Accidents have happened. I have three small children who rely on me and my vehicle. It is completely unsafe for us to drive and for others around us on the road. No one will help diagnose or fix the problem.

Found out that there was a recall problem with the rear quarter window vent switch. The dealer disconnected it and said the parts was on backorder. We checked periodically when we did not get a call from the dealer and was told the part was not available yet. In january 2015 received a letterfrom chrysler informing us of the recall. We again contacted our dealera couple more times since then andhave been told that the part still is not available. I called the 1-888-327-4236 vehicle safety hotline and was told to call 1-800-992-1997 and get a case manager number which i did and was put on hole for 110 minutes and know one has still answered my call........[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

I brought my vehicle in to tyson motors in shorewood, il, in2104 for the safety recall p25/nhtsa 14v-234, which relates to the rear quarter vent window switch possibly causing a fire.the switch was deactivated and i was told the dealer would call me when the new switch came in. It has been well over 6 months and the new switch has not been installed.the dealer tells me that they are not receiving the parts.it is my contention that the part has not been replaced within a reasonable amount of time.i wish to be contacted as soon as possible.

For weeks car would not start in the mornings before work or after being parked for several hours. Car battery needed to be boosted/jumped in order to start, after a few weeks of this battery drained, bad battery (had to purchase new battery and told this was the issue.) even with the new battery car would not want to start after being parked a few hours or overnight, especially in very cold weather. Car cranks but not start until after several tries of turning would start to run then shut off after a minute then would start after a few times of stalling or turning off. Car has stalled and/or refused to start several times with my children in the vehicle leaving us stranded a few times and inconvenient and unsafe for my 4 and 5 year olds, especially my 4 year old who is a type one diabetic. Car has had difficulty accelerating and has stalled on major streets and highways and i have required roadside assistance on three occasions in the last two weeks concerning this issue that i have taken my vehicle to three different mechanics and all say the fuel pump relay and one said possibly the fuel pump or fuel pump relay and there is a history of this issue with this vehicle and there have been recalls in 2012 concerning the same issue and part the fuel pump relay, however there has been no recall for the 2013 town and country yet the jeep grand cherokee and dodge ram already offered recalls for the same issue and year. Many people with the 2013 town and country are experiencing the same issue with the fuel pump relay and we should be offered a recall as well for this faulty part which is dangerous because it can cause a vehicle to stop and /or not start at anytime.

08/12/2017: i left my home & had only traveled a short distance & the entire vehicle stopped working. There was no power. The instrument panel was black & the engine was not running. I pulled to the side of the road as best i could with no power steering or brakes. I turned the key to off. I attempted to restart the vehicle. It took 3 tries to get it started. I did not drive it again until the next day. The problem did not occur again. It is now at the second dealership waiting for diagnosis.

Put it in park. The vehicle stopped working. The instrument panel went dark & the engine stopped. It took 8 tries to get it restarted. I did call & report the problem to the dealer.8/3/2017: i took my vehicle into the dealer for the same problem. It was failing to start the day before. It took 3-4 tries. It also randomly shut itself off when i put it in park. Also once when i put it in drive. I reported this to the dealership upon dropping it off. They drove the vehicle 60 miles & could not replicate the problem. It never shut off while they drove it. They returned it to me but did note the error codes when they ran a diagnostic that the vehicle had had some type of failure.7/11/2017: i had the vehicle at the dealership i purchased it used from a year prior. They diagnosed the failure to start & random power black-outs while driving as a screw being loose on the battery terminal. Charged me $200 to tighten a screw & sent me on my way.spring 2017: contacted orig. Dealership. The vehicle was doing something odd. The instrument panel had gone black, the wipers were running at full speed & could not be shut off, yet the vehicle was still running.08/10/16: engine light

My console stopped working and my front blower stopped working.the console finally startedworking but the blower is still going in and out.i have 52300 miles.this happened while driving on the city streets.i was driving with my children next day it was raining and window fogging and the blower cut out i could not see clearly and almost crashed.

Nothing. That is the problem.i was notified in may, 2014 about the switch.the dealer disconnected the switch in june. Now, i get a "new" notice with same information showing notice date of "dec 2014".that is not true.i have a 40,000 dollar vehicle that has the switch disconnected for almost a year!!!!!when i went there recently, they said they could not reconnect!!! that is [xxx], sir!furthermore, i believe the dealer has been taking credit for this action more than one time, recently (april, 2015) showing on an oil change receipt where the switch was disconnected by the technician.theswitch has been disconnected since june 2014.please notify owners to have their cars reconnected until part is in, if they wish to---i have not had the use of rear vent since june, 2014.now, i just received another, same notice, for disconnect of same switch.chrysler is violating some law, i am sure, but do not know how you can send out a notice to have repairs done in 2014, then, send another one a year later like as if it did not happen, then the dealer gets paid three times for one action.i want the switch reconnected!information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

For the second time in about 4 years, the left rear door has failed unexpectedly. The door is used normally and just stopped working. We stopped at a store and the left rear door did not work at all. It had worked earlier in the day. There is no damage to the door and nothing happened to the door to believe it would be the cause of the failure.

The contact owns a 2013 chrysler town and country. While the vehicle was parked and idling, a noise similar to a gunshot was heard.

Passenger sliding door opens by itself. Finally had to lock to keep door shut. Vehicle was stopped.

Problem begins with random ding, all dashboard lights come on, speedometer/fuel gauge/tachometer do not function at all, turn signals & hazards don't work, wipers turn on by themselves for a few swipes and then go back off. This lasts a few seconds and goes back to normal. Reoccurs randomly, lasting from 10 seconds to a full day of driving. It doesn't matter if the van is moving or still, just started or been running- it happens very randomly. Yesterday, i started the van and all dash lights were lit, no gauges worked, and turn signals & hazards did not work for several hours. Today i started it and after driving about 5 minutes, fixed itself and went back to normal.

January 1st in oshkosh wisconsin while parked in driveway i warmed up our 2013 chrysler town & country for 15 minutes and loaded up ready to go and turned on wipers and quickly noticed stuck to glass from ice so turned switch off. Broke loose from glass and retried wipers and poof they do not work. Checked all fuses & relays and tested wiper motor along with multi switch all good. Hooked my ansus fx4000 scanner to learn i have a tipm module problem. Next issue arouse three weeks later now automatic lights went out traveling in a snowstorm in evening & decided to further this issue. I will inform you's chrysler is using electrical system that has many, many accessory and options all work on a ground based energizing system. Another way to put this is most all controls are positive energized at all times and body ground module sends signal to relays that complete ground circuits. Anyone with half a brain will realize this is a disaster waiting to catch fire at any given time or place and repeatedly fail. Why is it innocent working people need to die and go broke for dealerships knowingly ignore disasters. Call tipm rebuilders in california to educate your staff in recalling all scrap chryslers nightmare electrical system has caused & destroyed good working people's pocket books for $1200 a pop to replace tipm module. Oh and dealers also tell everyone that reprograming is needed in replacing tipm module which in fact is a absolutely appalling lie .i hope to god someone wakes up an does the right thing.

My engine light keeps appearing after almost 3 years of owning this vehicle. It usually occurs when i turn on the heating system and have already been in motion for awhile. Typically while driving on the highway. The last occurrence was city driving but again when the heating system was turned on. I have my vehicle at the shop again and the mechanic is saying it is something regarding the oil. Something about a vacuum. I also assume there is something wrong with the electrical system. Within the first few days of owning my vehicle it was back at the dealership for 2 weeks. The radio always turns off on it's own and some of the dash components. Which it still does almost 3 years into owning this vehicle.

I believe i have a faulty tipm, you know that part that many, many other drivers have dealt with but you refuse to do a recall on! i was driving and the traction control light turned on, my brake lights were flashing and my drivers side passenger power door said 'function not available' when i tried to open it. After driving around the corner i felt the car bog down (almost felt like it went into overdrive) so i pulled over and turned the car off. It would not turn back on. The engine would not turn over. The heat turned on by itself, the engine light, airbag light, electronic throttle control, and battery lights all came on and stayed on. My husband had to come jump me and i only made it a few blocks for it happened again. My husband thought it was the alternator due to the headlights and dash lights flashing so he took it out to get tested. Tested fine. Tried the battery and it was drained. Replaced the battery today and the battery light has stayed on. We drove somewhere and it bogged down and sensor lights turned on. It got to the point that it wouldn't even stay on when jumped, doors wouldn't open, i couldn't even lock/unlock it. My husband is beyond frustrated with this. I do not feel safe driving the car again even after we figure out what's going on and fix it. Thank goodness it never 'stalled' when i was on a major road/freeway with my 3 kids. This is completely unsafe and needs a recall and to be fixed! i shouldn't have to pay $1,200+ because of a faulty part my car was built with!

Have received two notices of important safety recallp25/nhtsa14v-234 the problem is listed: " rear quarter vent window switch on vehicle may overheat if exposed to liquid moisture.an overheated rear quarter vent window switch may cause a burning odor, smoke, or a driver's door fire without warning" i has been several months, i have received two notices, and the dealer does not have the info from chrysler.what is a reasonable time for this repair?

Having issues with the wireless ignition module. Buttons on the remote either don't work or don't work right. Also associated buttons in the vehicle, either don't work or don't work right. There was s recall on the 2008-2010 models of these same vehicles, for similar problems. There may not be a recall now, but there may be one soon. I can't wait forever on a recall, i'm going to have to get this fixed when i have the cash to do so. Don't know if any other way to deal with it. Thank you, [xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

There was occasionaly a odor of burning plastic.

I was driving with my three children in my 2013 town & country in september 2017. We were headed to the dealership because the battery light was illuminated, and the car gradually started losing electrical functions and would not accelerate past first gear. The vanthen died on a busy four-lane road (shelbyville road in louisville) and i had to get out and push it in the rain to a parking lot while my wife steered. I had the car towed and the dealership diagnosed the problem as a faulty alternator. My car had 48,000 miles at the time. Now at 58,000 and eight months later my alternator is starting to fail again and i will have to have it replaced. It is my understanding that the 160 amp town and country 3.6l engine alternator has the same components as the alternators in 2010-2014 chrysler 300, jeeps and other models that were part of a nhtsa recall. The town and country just has a different housing and orientation. I feel that these models also should be recalled.

Van periodically stalls when driving (no warning lights come on), luckily it has been on local roads and not an interstate. It has happened at least 6-7 times in the last six months. I've had it in twice to our regular shop. They replaced the battery first, and then suggested we take to the dealer (as they had recently sent a durago to dealer for same problem). Dealer replaced ther,ostat and promised that was the problem. Still doing it. I'm afraid to drive this vehicle, it's not safe! searches have revealed many consumers with the same problem. It last happened 3/22/21.

While driving on the interstate when i lifted my foot off of the gas pedal it started to jerk on me, the check engine light stays on and the abs light will stay on, it also stalls at randum anytime while driving, every 2 to 3 years i have to have the brakes and the rotors redone, i had the camshaft sensor replaced and was told that they found metal fragments on the sensor i even saw it and was told that that usually tells them that this is a timing problem and could be the problem for stalling and if that doesn't work then it will be the engine, the timing problem will cost around $2000 along with the cost of the engine if its not the timing,then there is a evaporator core problem that is costly, there is a manifold gasket leak also another $1000,i've always done the service repairs but this is all to costly hate to dump it but now i'm thinking of a different vehicle and not another town n country, will never buy again

One night 2 years ago i was driving my van. I drove it as usual on my daily routine. I went home and about 30 minutes of being home i went and got in my van and started it up and it started normally just as it always did. It ran for pry 3 to 5 seconds only and just died. I tried to start it back up and it would not start. Tried starting it for an hour and it would not start. That's when i researched and found out about the tipm problem that dodge has. I never knew for sure until recently if that was indeed what the problem was. Until recently and only found out because i sold my house and had to get it moved out of my garage where my van sat since the day it died. I was not able to drive my van for pry over 2 years. My van is a 2013 and has about 80,000 miles on it. We are the only owner. After paying almost $40,000 for a brand new vehicle i definitely didnt think i would not be vehicle less anytime soon. Once my house was sold i had someone i knew come to try to get it started so i could move it. A guy looked at it for a couple days before he got it started. I was thrilled. That's when i knew it wasn't the fuel pump that went out. To get it started we had to hook the fuel pump up with a different wire that is ran to one of the cigarette lighter spots in the van. That was in september. That's how i've been driving my van since. Now the other day as i drove over a bridge my van just died. Reason is because the wire that is plugged into cigarette lighter to fuel pump got to hot and began melting inside the cigarette lighter plugin. The wires began to melt as well from being to hot. This is very dangerous as it can start a fire in someones vehicle. Someone can be killed because of this and it can be prevented if dodge fixed all the vehicles with this same tipm instead of just some of the vehicles that the recall was for.

When i press the start power button, the car will start and then cut off immediately. This happens repeatedly and then sometimes not at all. Sometimes, i turn off all of the electronics in my vehicle and then try to start it to see if this helps. Seems to have no rhyme or reason why it just won't start. I have searched the internet and found many other people reporting this same problem with their vehicles from chrysler all the way back to 2011.

Takata recall: my car has been dying overnight,even with a brand new battery.i took it to a mechanic to get fix and they told me it's a computer problem that's been happening with all chrysler vans with a 3rd row seat that are 2014 and older.they claimed it'sa censor that's draining the battery overnight (the car went through 3 battery in one month).

Vehicle shuts off while key is in the run position.this has happened multiple times.there are no special circumstances when it happens.it may happen when starting or shifting into gear.it has happened while driving both in city and country driving.while driving all systems shut off including the headlights,power steering,power brakes etc... This has happened to me while driving at night just as i was approaching a corner.it also is a hazard to oncoming traffic as the vehicle goes dark and would be hard to see.if you hold in on the key sometimes the vehicle restarts on its own if you are still moving sometimes it doesn't.if you hold in on the key the vehicle will continue to run fine.it doesn't matter if you are holding speed accelerating,turning,or going straight.this is definitely a problem with the ignition switch which should be replaced however research has made me decide this is not just a single vehicle problem so i am making an official complaint out of fear of injury to the public.this style switch should be recalled in my opinion.thank you for your time.

While parked in my attached garage, some function of the car's electrical system turns on and drains the battery. A boost/charge is required to enable the car to start. The car is now in for the fifth time for this condition (11,097 miles) and the dealer has had the car overnight for a total of 22 days so far. I am unsure how long they will have it this time. My concern is a fire may occur in the vehicle due to an overload condition that may cause my house to burn down and a possible loss of life.

Wipersand headlights came on by themselves and cycled about four times and then went off.we were driving down a smooth road, clear day, temperature was 80 degrees.wiper and headlight switch were set at "auto".a few days later same thing happens.take it to dealer and they state it's the tipm which is replaced for the first time.a month or so later, we are in a bad rain storm and the wipers (in auto) do not come on.when switched to manual, there is only the slow speed available. To shorten the story the van has been back to the dealer four times for the wiper/headlight problems plus a few other problems. It is again at the dealer for -you guessed it the wipers/headlight issue. The dealer is going to put in the fourth tipm in less than the two years (oct 2013) we've owned it.i've been waiting over a week to get the van back and i'm told there is a nationwide shortage of tipms.other maladies include the van being totally dead because the main power panel on the left wheel well was corroded. I too am waiting for the qtr window switches.i'm told there are two colors - green and blue.chrysler has the green switches for lower level models.the high end vans need the blue switch.. If it was not for the stow & go seating feature we were going to by a honda odyssey.i feel ripped off after spending $39,000 for the vehicle.

After the vehicle is turned off, the tipm continues to run the fuel pump.

Drivers sidesliding door 'door ajar' sensed during warm/hot days. While driving door tries to re-latch, lights come on, and chumming is heard continuously throughout the drive. Sometimes the door tries to re-latch when just sitting in the driveway with keys out of the ignition. The local dealershipran a diagnostic with multiple codes: i 121300, b19ed, b2501, b2506, b19e0, b2509, b19cd. They told me to replace the track wire bundle. I replaced the door track wire run with negativeresults. I've swapped the sliding door motor module and the discrep remains with the drivers side. I've swapped the door wiring logic module and the discrep remains with the drivers door. I've replaced the latch actuator motor and the whole latch actuator assembly with no change to the discrepancy. I believe it to be a wiring issue in the door panel. The door chiming and lights flashing while driving is extremely distracting and if it's a wire issue i don't want it to catch fire. This is an ongoing issue with an unknown fix.

This started about 4 weeks ago, approximately 9/10/2017. The vehicle did not want to start. We were under the impression that the battery was dead. Jumped the car and it started. After that a couple of days later my wife said that the vehicle would just crack over and have the key stuck on the cranking mode. The key was turned back and forth until the vehicle started. After which the vehicle would shut off. She was able to get the car started and drove it home right away. That night it did the same thing to me. I turned the key 3 times until the vehicle started then it shut off all by it self. We decided not to drive the vehicle until we could get it looked at the dealership. I did some research online and found that the previous year chrysler and jeep vehicles had a recall for a fuel relay replacement. This leads me to believe that this is the same problem after reading the symptoms. After my reasearch i walked out to see if the vehicle would start. This was sunday morning. This time the vehicle cranked after turning the key 3-4 times. The vehicle stayed on for 15 minutes, after which it shut off. On monday morning i did the same procedure and the vehicle stayed on until we had to leave to go to work. It ran for 15+ minutes. Today is tuesday morning and we are about to see if we can drive it to the dealership.if this is the same issue the previous model vehicles had then i'm concern that the engine may stop while my wife and kids are driving down the road and be in an accident.

At witch time i held the brake and pulled off the road.there was a large red throttle body light on. Wheni turned the engine off. I decided to wait as the brakes smelled very hot. On restarting all normal warning lights plus this large red t/b light while cranking the dealer changed the foot pedal.on june 11 i followed several cars leaving a parking lot at 35 mph i let up on the gas the van continued to accelerate red light once more. I braked and pulled off the road. On restarting the enginewent to 1800rpm .. Shut it off for 4 to 5 min restarted light on while crankingthen went out like the first time and drove normal. The throttle body light comes on while cranking (not normal).

At multiple times when putting my van into drive it makes a hard clunk and has been making a "chirping"sound. Took it to dealer that i just baught it from. And they claim nothing is wrong and could not duplicate my complaints. Also has a very strong burning platinum oder when driving.

I was driving down my street, going around 25 mph, and the 1st thing i noticed was that i had lost the power steering. The kids were watching a dvd, that stayed on along with the normal interior lights however when i applied pressure to the gas pedal to attempt to pull over the car wouldn't respond to that. I realized then that the engine had shut off while i was driving! thankfully i was able to drift to the side of the road. I parked, turned off the van and then restarted it. Everything came back on and was working again. The mechanic can't figure out what the problem is and chrysler is claiming no one has ever reported this problem before. A simple google search proves them wrong.

My engine had a ticking noise for a couple of days when i was at a stop sign or red light. I was going to address it on my upcoming oil change, but on my way home with my family early january, while driving on a major highway, i had the van shake very violently and start loosing power on highway 422, i was nearly involved in an major car accident due to the sudden loss of power. The check engine light came on and it was struggling to gain any speed to be able to get home. The van would not go past 35-40 miles. I was going to take it to anthony d'ambrosio chrysler in elverson, pa but they were backed up for a couple of days so i found a delaer with immediate openings, quigley chrysler in boyertown, pa where my van has been sitting for over a month. I was told that my vehicle had cylinder #2 misfire and gave them code p0302 along with p0300. I was told that this would be covered under warranty by my dealer as it is under original powertrain warranty and also chrysler is aware of vehicles with that 3.6 penstar engine having those issues which eventually cause a head malfunction. I was told that i needed to change my spark plugs and ignition coil which make no sense to me as i was told by my dealer and the service manual that spark plugs are to be changed at 100k miles.i have reached out to chrysler at least 2 times a week for the last month and always keep getting a promised call back from a supervisor/manager to address the issue but have yet to get anyone to ever call me back in the last 30+ days. I need my van fixed asap as i only have one other vehicle and was not even offered a loaner while they fixed and addressed this issue.

On august 14 , 2019 my van broke down on the interstate. A few hours later my car started back up.i continued to drive my car until about 2 weeks laterit broke down again on the interstate.since that time i have had over 10 brake downs that occured intermittently without any sort of pattern to the frequency or serverity.my car stalled without warning and shut down while in motion.my car loss power and became hard to steer and the brake assist shut down.there were no warning lights, sounds, or visual cues to indicate any sort of problems.because of this sudden shut down it has become extremely dangerous and alarming to the safety of myself and family to drive.after the first two incidentsi took my car to the chrysler dealership,and paid for a diagnostic test.theyconcluled that they could not duplicate stalling conditions and therefore no resolution to the problem was given.after the problem continued i took my car to another local repair shop. They advise me of several possible problems based on the check engine code. I have spent countless of hours and money to find out what is wrong with my van. I have been given various recommendation: replacing thermostate,gaskets and coolant temp sensor, erg valve replacement,bad icm, bad esc module, bad key fob, bad ignition node, crank sensors, module coil pack, tipm replacement and the list go on and on.to resolve this problem, i would appreciate that chrysler corporation pin point the problem and provide a repair option that does not require me to replace every single part of my vehicle to be able to safely drive again. I need to know what pre-existing problems that you are aware of that has caused the 2013 chrysler town and country to stall randomly and to start back up after 30 minutes. I have contacted chrysler and was provided a case number.

Driving on freeway at night # 2 lane at about 74mph engine just shut off was almost hit by 3 cars. Made it to shoulder engine would not restart etc (electronic throttle control) light was illuminated. Called aaa tow truck driver could not start vehicle . Had van towed about 15 miles. I rode with tow truck. When van was dropped off got inside to stay warm until my ride arrived. Tried again to start vanwas successful but check engine light came on. Just bought this used van from ahonda dealer in costa mesa as a used car. It has about 65,411 miles.very, very dangerous almost got hit 3 times as i made my way over to the shoulder.

2013 engine shuts off within first 7 minutes of driving. No warning it doesn't stall and radio gps and other components stay on just engine shuts off. This happensabout 60% of the time. First time was on highway after driving 5 minutes going 60 mph shut off and it actually turned itself back out without me doing anything. Another time was after driving 3 minutes at a stop sign started to go and car shut off after 1/4 mile i had to pull over to restart. It's shut off dozens of times regardless of speed or location. 2nd to last time it happened i was going over railroad track at about 15 mph and last time it happened i was driving on highway at 70 mph. Once it happened in my driveway, i though idling it a while before driving would help but it shut off when i adjusted my steering wheel after idling for 7 mins.

Failed to stay shut off after being parked in the garage, evidently ran out of gas. I opened the garage door the next morning to over 120 degrees, the van steering wheel was to hot to touch, i pushed the start button and the screen said "system is hot" . I knowi hadshut the van off because the radio stops playing when you open the door after turning it off. Now the van won't run. I had it towed to a dealership for repair. It could have burned my home down! after checking complaints online could this be an issue with tipm? is there a recall for this yet?

I keep getting the same misfire codes 0306 0303. I've changed coils and sparkplugs and still, the check engine light stays on.

The pcm is bad power control module. And it has happen on a lot of the chrysler town and country vans

The engine died in heavy, slow moving traffic near nashville, tn

$2000 bill for something i kept saying there was something going on and to find out that it was misfiring the whole time for over a year and 2 coils later! thisis ridiculous!

2013 town and country 2,4,6 cylinder misfire codes. The van will sputter and stall at times. Called chrysler and the said it is not covered under the extend warranty of 150k miles. The warranty covers cars built up tojuly 31 2013. Our car was built august 22 2013. The exact same issues of all the covered engines but supposedly this motor had the corrected cylinder head. Even the dealership says this is the same issues as all the replaced heads he worked on. Unfortunately now i will need to get a new family car. Not a chrysler!

Vehicle shuts down with no advance warning!there are no error or fault codes stored in the pcm.very dangerous while operating on the highway.the vehicle is totally disabled when this occurs. The condition seems to be a common problem with chrysler products as described on the internet.someone (fed. Govt.) should immediately launch an investigation into this serious and/or deadly situation. The vehicle has approximately 74000 miles on the odometer.someone please help!today it happened three times.

Took delivery of a brand new 2013 chrysler town and country touring van with 4 miles on it on thursday, june 20, 2013.drove it home approximately 10 miles.took it out for the first ride on saturday june 22, 2013 and while driving, engine failed without warning and i lost all power to vehicle.started it back up and vehicle did this again.continued to start up and shut down without warning about four times.called road side assistance and car was towed back to dealership.service department can not duplicate the problem.corporate office is of no help.without fixing the problem, this will happen again.this is a serious problem that can cause a serious or fatal accident and chrysler has not addressed the problem.they did recall their prior models for this exact problem - recall #72674.the problem is continuing with their newer models but chrysler does not seem interested.meanwhile, i have a brand new vehicle sitting at the dealership less than a week old that i am afraid to drive my family in. There have been over 57 reports in the chrysler town and country forum of this exact problem - some involving accidents with children as passengers.chrysler is selling unsafe vehicles putting children at risk of serious harm. I can provide the names of all the people i spoke with at chrysler - their customer service unit, and their top care unit - along with all those i am dealing with at the dealership.i have a meeting with the dealership monday, july 1st.however, unless the problem is fixed, this vehicle remains unsafe to drive.i have put chrysler on notice, the dealership and now you, that this vehicle is unsafe and can cause serious injury to the passengers and other innocent drivers. Please do not wait for a fatality to investigate this.

I was traveling at 20 mph and turned right onto another street. In mid-turn, the engine cut off without warning and all power steering and power brakes failed. I nearly missed a car on the corner as the car turned. Because i was unable to brake, i am not sure how the van stopped without any response from the brakes. Once i came to a stop, i put the car back into park and restarted the car. We bought this car new on 2/13/2013 and have not had this problem before. We do see reports of many chrysler town and country vans and dodge caravans reporting this problem going back to 1996, with some recalls along the way. It appears that this is an old issue that has not been properly addressed by chrysler.

2013 chrysler town andcountry stalls with now warning or error cause car to lose power steering andcoast to a stop. It has happened with no patter at various speeds and types of driving.

My 2013 chrysler town & country has an exhaust leak.the exhaust fumes come into the cabin area of the vehicle when driving.linwood motors in paducah, ky 42001 phone # 800-326-7604 have worked on the vehicle several times.the mechanics at linwood motors claim to have replaced the exhaust system twice, but it still leaks.on july 14, 2014 found exhaust leaking into a/c vents & blowing into cab. Tech replaced entire exhaust system.test drove with carbon dioxide monitor from walmart, which will only detect at 30 ppm's or higher.if the monitor had indicated that there was carbon monoxide in the cab; a person could only be exposed to his level for one hour before needing to be removed to fresh air!when the vehicle was returned to us, it still was leaking exhaust fumes into the cab.we made an appointment to put the vehicle back into the shop at linwood motors on september 8, 2014 at 2 pm.when my wife and i arrived at linwood motors rick kupper and kevin jones refused to put the 2013 chrysler t&c into the maintenanceshop because they had expended all the resources the company would allow.after the 2013 chrysler t&chas set in my yard for 16 months chrysler has finally agreed to settle and buyback the vehicle.my new concern is that chrysler will put the vehicle back on the market and sale it without fixing the 2013 chrysler t&c.my wife had a stroke on june 20, 2014 and our doctors advised us to quit driving the 2013 chrysler t&c; because my wife's doctor believes the exhaust leak contributed to her stroke.i had to purchase another vehicle to drive and lost interest on my money that i had to use from savings.chrysler has made abelier out of me!!!i will neverown another chrysler vehicle again as long i live.thanks chrysler corporation for your torture.end of report.

Intermittently, while i'm driving or even in park sometimes, my van will shut off.sometimes it will turn back on (on its own) or i have to crank the engine back on, either by putting it in park and turning key over or putting my vehicle in neutral and turning it back on that way. It's happened in multiple places, multiple times - while stationary, driving on city street or driving 70 mph on the interstate. It is very unsafe!

I was driving down the highway at 65 mph and my lights went out. I had both hands on the steering wheel so i didn't touch any button. I did have the automatic high beam feature turned on. Was extremely scary as i could not see anything when the lights went out as it was pitch dark outside. I braked hard and after several seconds the lights came back on. I was so lucky i did not go off the road as i could not see anything without the headlights. My family and i could have been killed. Very dangerous. Please issue a recall. I see on google that others have experienced the same issue.

When driving at night the lights just go out, all of them. I can try to stop and then put them on manu. And they come one again. I am always going down a highway of street when this happens. I try to remember to put them on manu.. So far this keeps them from going out. Is there a recall on lights?i am now afraid to use the auto lights.

Have had nothing but problems and have nothing good to say about this van!

Fuel pumpkeeps running after keyis removed. Van won'tstartno fuel. Iratic engine keeps trying to start with key released. Not a constant 3 or 4 times a week. Stationary.

On may 9th 2018 while driving the car down a two way street not far from a school zone it basically locked but the engine was still running. The vehicle was still in motion but i could not steer because the wheel was locked, i could not stop because the brake did not work, i almost crashed and died. I had to jump a curb to slow the vehicle down and avoid accidents. I was then able to turn off the vehicle. This is extremely dangerous and sounds like defective parts in the vehicle that need to be reported as a recall to the manufacturer. The public needs to knowas many lives on the road are at risk and we want answers and the problem resolved by the manufacturer.

Vehicle turns off while driving; losing power steering. Extremely unsafe.

The van dies on me while driving. Not in idle, only while diving. The shop replaced alternator (i took in old alternator to get tested, all good).van sill dies, shop thinks it's fuel pump. Been doing this over a month, thought it might be egr related but i've been told 2013 does not have egr. Please advise. It's not safe.

The tipm is bad causing a fpr problem, causing cold starts or no start as well as stalling or a complete power drain of a brand new battery purchased 11.22.20 this should be a recall

My fuel pump initiator is not sending signal to start my car.it is draining my battery as well. My car may start going to work but not on my lunch break then start after work but it hesitates many times.

Think toyota .i was accelerating from a light and let up on the gas but car kept accelerating .next i put it in neutral motor kept racing.got car stopped.in the middle of the road. Restarted car-still raceing.next atempted to pull over so put my foot on brake and put it in gear van shook and shook til about 35 miles per hour{with brakes on} then a big thunk and it returned to normal.xxxx in august it did smething similar. When aproaching a stop let up on gas {30 mph} van kept going pushed harder on brakes car shaking but slowing till the big thunk and then it stoped,part way into intersection. Not for theweek of heart.

Car would not stop immediately when brakes were applied...paid over $950 to fix.also had overheating..replacement of heater hose that goes to firewall.part alone cost $250. Overheating on highway.

Fuel pump relay inside the tipm failed, causing car to stall while in motion with loss of power steering and power brakes. If this happened at highway speeds it could result in a crash. This is a common issue and other dodge/chrysler vehicles have been recalled for similar failures in 2011 models.suggested internet fixes involve bypassing the fuel pump relay with a jumper that could result in fire.

Purchased 2013 chrysler town and country in july of 2020 and it had a clean record, was a former carmax vehicle and my independent mechanic reviewed the vehicle and deemed it a good purchase. I have since cared for the vehicle and it has run well until recently several error codes came up. P0300, p0456, p0455, p0175. I took it to my mechanic and they said this could be a vehicle manufacturer issue. The codes say something about evp leak, misfire and system running too rich. This should be investigated to ensure a recall isn't necessary. Repairs are well over $1000 and not due to any pre existing issues.

I bought this van about 2 weeks back. The dealer had filled up the gas tank. Yesterday i wanted to refuel and then i realized that this was the most unsafe car i have seen.anybody could have access to the gas cap. There is no key lock or lever lock to it. Just flip open the cover and unscrew the cap and put anything into the gas tank or draw out the gas if you want to.this car costs about 30,000 and has all sorts of features but i am scared to take it out of my garage and park it anywhere else.i hope the manufacturer does something in regards to the accessibility of the gas cap to ease the mind of the owners of this vehicle. I would not have bought this car if i had noticed this at the time of purchase.

When trying to start my van all the dash lights come on but the van will not start and the etc light comes on.there is a clicking sound in the fuse box and the brake lights do not light up when the pedal is pushed. Took it to the mechanic who stated there is a problem with the fuel pump. There is currently a recall on the fuel pump relay for certain town & country vans but for some reason does not include this particular one.

I was driving and lost a full tank of gas within a hour, stopped and notice and smelled gas leaking from bottom of engine. Took it to the nearest dealership and was told i had a bad fuel rail.

Driving down a highway our van's snap ring broke and destroyed the transmission and disabled van on a busy highway. Transmission went out without warning. Could have been hit by another car.

Driving home last night in our 2013 chrysler town and country a transmission issue came up out of nowhere, with no warning. The van lost all speed and was unable to keep up with traffic.it was a dangerous situation that thankfully avoiding any accidents.the van only has 58,000 miles.a certified technician has looked at it and said it will need a new transmission due to internal failure of the pump as there's no pump pressure.he mentioned that he's personally seen several of these problems with premature transmission failure due to design flaw; including ones low mileage ones like ours.i've spoken with several other mechanics and all have said it's an issue seen too frequently.i called the local dealership (olathe dodge chrysler 15500 w 117th street - olathe, ks 66062) where the van was purchased from and spoke with the dealership director to see if they could work with us to correct a known problem.all i was given was the chrysler 1-800 customer service number. It's an expensive design flaw by chrysler costing several thousand of dollars to repair.

The contact owns a 2013 chrysler town and country. The contact stated that while driving20 to 30 mph, the vehicle downshifted and stalled without warning. The contact stated that excessive force was needed to depress the brake pedal while attempting to stop the vehicle. The vehicle was turned off and restarted and operated normally. Northtown chrysler jeep dodge fiat (2020 niagara falls blvd, tonawanda, ny 14150, (716) 616-3299 was contacted and informed the contact that the vin was not under recall. The vehicle had not been diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 886.

The contact owns a 2013 chrysler town and country. While driving various speeds, the vehicle stalled without warning. The contact mentioned that the vehicle restarted after a while and functioned normally, but the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken to i-77 chrysler jeep dodge ram (435 s church st, ripley, wv 25271, (304) 514-7077), but the cause of the failure could not be determined.

The failure mileage was 75,000.

While driving at about 30mph on a city street the transmissionsuddenly downshifted to a low gear causing the engine rpm to go up to 4000. This caused the mph to be limited to about 20. There were no 'engine trouble' or other warning lights. The gear shift still indicated 'drive', not a lower gear. Upon stopping, the gear shift was moved to all positions to no affect; when driven the car remained locked in a low gear. The lower gears, below drive (1, 2,3) were not indicated when the lever was moved to the position where they should have been indicated. The car was shut off and restarted. The problem seems to have corrected itself and has not yet reoccurred after several miles of driving, but only hours after it occurred. This sudden downshift, without warning, could be serious at high speed and crowded roads. It is scheduled to be checked by a dealer but there is conflicting views as to whether a trouble code will be available now that the problem is not present. Scary!!

The vehicle shifts roughly from r to d and d to r. When accelerating at about 35 to 45, the vehicle delays the shift causing the car to shake before shifting to the proper gear.

The flywheel has broken and this appears to be a very common problem that many have had to repair. There seems to be a misalignment issue or a weakness in the material used to manufacture the flywheel. The van started with a sound similar to the vibration of a loose heat shield. Then came the vibration and shaking at idol, similar to an engine miss on one of the cylinders. No of those were the problem. Then, the van was in motion and all of a sudden it wouldn't go while pressing the accelerator. Pulled the van to the side. Shut down the engine and tried to restart. The starter now spins freely with no resistance. This should have become a recall a few years ago and corrected before this model was ever manufactured.

Was driving along a highway and heard a whine. It got worse as i got closer to home.rpms suddenly increased greatly. Took it to chrysler dealer where i purchased the vehicle new. After checking it over, it was determined that transmission needed replacing at 60500 miles. 4 months past warranty expiration.when talking with several mechanics and transmission businesses, heard this is common for this transmission (6 speed). Said the supplier for the bearings, used junk, as this has caused the problems. Chrysler must be aware of this.

Transmission went out due to failure of hydraulic pump with no prior issues. Well maintained 90,000 miles. Happened while turning left 10-15mph on city street.

While driving, we heard a loud noise like rattling coming from the engine area.i thought it was a bad a/c clutch so i turned off the a/c but the sound continued only not as loud.when i turned the a/c unit on...the sound became louder so i turned off the a/c to arrive at destination.i later took my vehicle to the dealership who said the flexplate had to be replaced.a week later i received a second call that the tipm had to be replaced as well.upon research, i have found numerous complaints online from other owners of this vehicle type spanning the years 2012-2014 with a high number of problems with the same two parts.i do believe these parts are dangerous and faulty or an investigation leading to the cause should be done.i consider myself lucky that my vehicle did not shut off on a highway or dangerous condition as i have heard these type vehicles doing that to others in their testimonials.i will receive the repair receipt documentation from the dealership to prove the parts replacement to verify my testimonial.

Driving vehicle on suburban streets i noticed that the vehicle would hesitate at take off and then slam into gear. This happened at every stop. Then while driving the engine would rebound but the transmission wouldn't engage. Pulled over and turned off engine, restarted and drove but again slammed into gear. Managed to make it to a parking lot and pulled in. Had vehicle towed home. Later had vehicle towed to dealer"checked and found vehicle won't move and transmission pump is whinning, fluid is burnt, checked dtc's p0944 loss of prime, p0731 gear ratio error in 1st, p0846 2-4 or 2c pressure switch rationality, r transmission has hard internal failure, recommendreplacing transmission" .vehicle has 41000 miles on it. 4700 dollars to replace faulty transmission.

The contact owns a 2013 chrysler town and country. While driving various speeds, the vehicle independently shifted into neutral without warning. The dealer (zimmer chrysler dodge jeep ram, 1086 burlington pike, florence, ky) was contacted; however, the failure could not be duplicated. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and a case was opened. The failure mileage was approximately 55,000.

Was stop for red and the vehicle suddenly jerked, scared me then started drifting backward tap the vehicle behind me but there was no damage to it.

This is a new vehicle. Right around 6100 miles, i started hearing irritating noise at speeds around 30-40 mph. The dealership is not able to resolve the issue and chrysler seems to have no solution as well. They basically say it is drivable so i have to live with it. This noise is persistent and louder than when we first noticed it (8200 miles now). No repair, no replacement, nothing but a continual noise.

Vehicle was parked in driveway, was in "park" gearand had been running for approximately 20 minutes. Vehicle was turned off and keys were removed from ignition when vehicle suddenly started to roll backwards. Reportedly, vehicle was restarted and braking was attempted but vehicle would not stop.

Third row middle seatbelt does not engage ratcheting locking mechanism to properly protect passengers making it unsafe for carseats and passengers alike.

Headrest safety feature of deploying forward activated without cause while driving and no outside contact was made.

While in park, driver was leaning forward to reach something on floor when head rest shot forward. Inspection revealed plastic retainer had broken allowing the active head restraint to release. Safety concern is what if this had happened while driving with head near the head rest?

The active headrest restraint of the front passenger seat deployed, while the van was parked in our driveway. The plastic brackets were broken, so there was no way to reset the headrest. The vehicle was not in any type of collision when the headrest safety feature was activated.

The front passenger headrest popped open, hitting my head, while we were sitting in the parked car (at taco bell eating). It will not go back in place. The dealership wants $800 to replace it and chrysler claims that other vin from that year have recalls but not mine?! they will not help replace the deployed headrest.

Passenger seat headrest blew open while driving to work today. No accident involved. Just bam! looks like the plastic pieces holding a pin in place gave out.

Parts in the headrest break and headrest popped forward hitting driver and passenger in back of the head the vehicle was stationery one time the second time it was moving on a rural highway

The headrest which is part of the air bag system, deployed while driving and hit my wife in the head. The headrest is broken and needs to be replaced. My research has shown that there are many people having the same problem. This part seems to be defective and should be taken care of by chrysler.

Front passenger side head reat anti whiplash mechanism deployed while the vehicle was stationary, engine running. I opened a complaint with dealership because they said im responsible for the cost even though service manager states it happens all the time. Opened a complaint with chrysler financial, but never followed up on the defect because i turned the vehicle in for different make. Now they are trying to stick me with a bill that should be a recall.

On or about the date reported in this claim the vehicle was at a stop in a parking lot space.nothing happened to the vehicle and without warning the driver seat active headrest restraint, part of the safety system and designed to move up and towards the head in the case of a rear-end collision, activated and struck the driver in the back of the head throwing the head forward.no medical attention was sought.the vehicle was taken to a dodge dealership to diagnose the issue and and the certified mechanic found no evidence/indication for why the active headrest restraint should have activated.fiat chrysler automobiles (fca) was contacted about the safety issue and a service ticket was created.although no recall has been issued for this defective part, fca's response was that the vehicle exceeded the basic vehicle warranty coverage and that vehicle repairs would be the responsibility of the owner.the owner has found multiple other posts of this same situation online from other owners, including vehicles within fca's basic vehicle warranty where age and mileage were not a factor.at the time of this claim the vehicle is at the dealership for repairs.the repair invoice can be provided at a later time upon request by nhtsa.

Driving on interstate when 5 year old granddaughter started to scream. Turned and found that the driver's side second row seat had folded on her as though to "stow & go". Was shocked that a) the seat allows itself to fold when occupied b) there is not a safety button on it that engages preventing seat handle from operating and folding. Child had fallen asleep and started to slide off seat. In order to correct herself she pushed on the edge of her seat. The seat appeared to interpret this as a need to "stow & go". Chrysler needs to recall this handle and be forced to replace with a handle with a safety button or replace all the seats with seats that only fold when no weight on them is present.

The passenger seat head rest had a plastic piece that broke spontaneously inside, and the front part of the head rest is popped out. I tried to reset it using the manufacture's instructions, but since the piece is broken, it will not go back together. The vehicle was stationary and unoccupied when this occurred.

The front seat passenger side headrest spontaneously busted open abs cannot be put back because the rings that hold it in place broke. We were not in motion. Someone sat in the seat snd it happened without cause.

We rented the chrysler town and country minivan to transport our family while on vacation. A couple of days into our vacation, i placed my right hand at the top of the captain seat in the middle row on the passenger side of the van. I then used my left hand to trigger the lever on the seat to lean it forward so one of my children could get out of the backseat more easily. The headrest snapped down hitting both my right middle finger and my right ring finger. The post of the head rest bruised my middle finger from the tip of my finger to the middle knuckle. My ring finger was pinched in the slit on the top of the seat where the post on the headrest goes when the seat folds up.when my finger was crushed in the slit on the back of the seat, the pad of my right ring finger was cut in a semi-circular shape and the skin was peeled back from the flesh. The injury on my finger required a trip to urgent care and 4 stitches.it took about one and a half months for the injury to heal. Now, the tip of my finger is scar tissue, with no feeling except underneath the scar tissue where there are still nerves. I am currently unable to use the finger for typing or other activities that require pressure.it seems to me that there is a product defect and a design defect in the seats. There is only one lever on the seat to provide for leaning it forward, backward or folding it completely so it may be stowed. The speed with which the seat folds makes it dangerous. As a result, there should be other levers available for adjusting the seat that do not force it to fold up completely. Additionally, there is a failure to warn of the dangers of the quickly folding seat, either from the manufacturer or the rental car company. There is no visual warning label anywhere in the vehicle, which warns the user to keep their hands and body out of the way of the seat when triggering the lever.

Yesterday my 69 year old mother got into the 2nd row captain seat of my van. I was buckling my son into the other captain seat. All of a sudden she screamed. She pulled the lever on the side of the seat that allows you to lean the seat back and the headrest snapped forward with incredible force and almost knocked her out. I couldn't understand what happened so i investigated.... The lever that allows you to tilt the seat back is also the same lever that releases the seat from the floorboard and snaps it forward so that it is folded up to go down into the floor for storage. So, if you pull that lever all the way up - the seat snaps out of the floor and folds up like a accordion with a great amount of force.if you gently pull that lever up a little bit, but not all the way, it allows you to adjust the tilt of the seat back. In other words, allows you to recline or sit up more. I was shocked!!! if that headrest snaps forward with enough force to almost knock out a full grown adult, what would it do to a child? how is a child supposed to know not to pull the lever up all the way? how can i prevent my kids from pulling that lever? there's no way to lock it. The vehicle was located in the driveway of my home in a stationary position. I am happy to provide more information if you would like to contact me.

Head rest on the driver's side popped open for no reason.i had just entered the car, closed the door, and the head rest popped open against my head.i see that this devise is part of the anti whip lash system in the event of a crash.but there was no accident and the car was stationary in a parking lot of a store.

Headrest split in half and smacked both driver and front passenger in the back of the head with substantial amount of force without warning.a dash warning then came on saying that air bag had deployed. Neither of the front airbags deployed. We had not touched the brakes, not had anyone hit us, nor did we hit anyone/anything.we were just driving at about 50 mph when this happened. Caused severe headache and back spasm to both driver and front passenger.scary!my husband just took it to the chrysler dealer but they had no idea of the cause. Since there was no damage/accident they just relocked the airbags. Rather scary to think that this may happen again and may cause an accident the next time.please check for other suck occurrences and respond by letting me know if there has been a cause found and how this problem may be rectified so that we don't have to be concerned about it happening again.

Raised the driver side front seat headrest and it came apart and would not go back together, it was stationary.

The driver head rest deployed while driving on the highway, striking the driver in the back of the head, causing momentary loss of control of the vehicle, but no accident. The head rest will not go back into normal non-deployed position after following the on-line instructions for re-setting the head rest.. After checking on the internet for other such problems or recalls, found that chrysler dealers refuse to classify this as a manufactoring problem and will only repair this problem at owners expense. I saw that multiple other owners of the 2013 town and country also had this problem. Please investigate this problem, i bought this vehicle brand new from a chrysler dealer.

The contact owns a 2013 chrysler town and country. The contact stated that the dealer replaced the interior flooring from the front firewall to the rear firewall. The contact mentioned that the flooring was not aligned correctly and caused water intrusion. The contact also stated that the rear passenger side door was not properly aligned and was difficult to close. The vehicle was not repaired due to the dealer refusing to provide a permanent remedy for longer than 22 months. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and provided no remedy. The failure mileage was not available. Updated 02/23/16*lj; updated 04/25/18the consumer stated the ramp guage material it too thin to suppourt the weight of the wheelchair and the occupant.

My 18 year old son was driving my 14 year old daughter on i97 in maryland when the passengerseat active head restraints headrest deployed startling both of my kids.no injuries or accidents but pretty scary at 65 mph

Headrest exploded with broken pieces sitting in my driveway.van was sitting in my driveway.

The driver active head rest exploded forward while i was driving.i was simply driving down the road and a load boom happened and i was hit in the head. The head rest is sticking forward from the rest of the piece.it looks like the plastic piece holding the rod broke causing the head rest to shoot forward.

Active head restraint on front passenger seat deployed unexpectedly with no cause or warning. Vehicle was stationary.

Both headrests deployed involuntarily and unexpectedly when the ignition was being been turned off after i pulled in the my driveway.the van was stationary and there was no impact or cause for the deployment/.i was in the driver's seat the headrest hit the back of my head with force.we were unable to reset the headrests as the plastic clip holding the metal rod had broken on both headrests.

The active head restraint on the drivers side deployed on its own when no one was in the car.

My 20123 chrysler town and country has an active head restraint headrest.it moves forward in an accident to lessen the likelihood of whiplash.my driver's side headrest deployed (snapped into the forward position) while the car was parked and turned off.i was picking up a bag from behind the driver's seat when this happened.it was startling to say the least.i was not hurt, but i have read that others who were actually sitting in the driver's seat have been hurt due to the headrest hitting them in the back of the head.i looked at the mechanism that releases the spring-loaded headrest, and it was broken.several pieces of broken plastic were at the bottom of the headrest box, and a metal bar that serves to hold the headrest in the normal position was at an angle with broken plastic around it.it's pretty clear that the plastic retained the metal bar, and this plastic simply broke and released the headrest to spring forward.in my estimation, the plastic holding the bar was insufficient in strength to serve its function reliably long-term.it's a bad design.forums on the internet confirm that this failure is not infrequent and sometimes harmful to the person in the seat.the cost of replacement of the headrest is about $700.i would estimate that the repair would take an experienced technician about 15 minutes, so the headrest must be quite pricey.since the headrest is functionally in the same category as an airbag, and since it can cause physical harm when it suddenly breaks for no cause other then design failure, i believe that the headrest should be recalled.consumers should not bear the burden of repairing a faulty design in a safety system.

We were driving down the highway didn't hit anything and the headrest airbag deployed. We were starting to slow down to turn and the headrest airbag deployed

The driver-side active head restraint fired without provocation while the car was parked. It hit my wife in the head. The plastic parts inside the head rest are broken and chalky, like plastic left to sit in the sun too long. This part is clearly defective but the dealership refuses to do anything about it.

Friday morning, 09-28-18, i got in my vehicle to drive to work (vehicle in my driveway parked all night). I noticed the passenger headrest/active head restraint was extended. On sunday morning (vehicle parked in my driveway all night), two days later, i get in my vehicle to go to church and the driver headrest/active head restraint was extended. I reviewed the issue on both headrest and noticed the plastic that holds the pin had weakened and broken. The pins are still locked in place by a holder or clamp. I stopped by the dealer and a service rep stated this is known to happen. It is not covered and i will have to pay +$500 to replace the active head restraints.

While getting out of our van, the passenger side active head restraint deployed.after searching online, it appears that this is an ongoing issue with the vehicle.fortunately, no one was hurt but could have easily been worse.

The active head restraint (headrest) on the driver side of my van activated for no reason while it was parked. The vehicle has never been in a crash and has 110000 miles. I have not been able to reset the headrest. I took it to the dealership today and they said it would cost $759 to replace.after reading all the complaints about headrest issues in town and country minivans, and the recall of over 800000 vehicles in 2013 for the exact same problem http://www.autonews.com/article/20130703/oem11/13130709941/chrysler-recalls-840000-vehicles-mostly-in-u.s.-for-headrests, i am convinced that the chrysler town and country minivans should have been included in the recall. This is a major safety issue. What if the headrest would have activated while i was driving? please look into this. Thank you.

The contact owns a 2013 chrysler town and country. While driving various speeds, the passenger side headrest was touched, popped out of place, and struck the passenger in the head.

On 8/15/19,my 2013 chrysler town and country front passenger seat head restraint deployed without being involved in a collision. I was in the passenger seat riding under normal conditions on the city street at approximately 25 mph when the headrest popped out and hit me in the head throwing my head forward causing my hat and sunglasses to fly into the dashboard.my neck was sore for a day or 2 but i do not have lingering physical issues that i know of. I contacted chrysler customer service via the mopar website chat and the customer service representativereferred me to my local dealer which quoted me $700 to replace the defective headrest. Upon inspection, the thin plastic mount that retains the metal release bar crumbled causing the headrest to deploy.this is apparently an issue as i have read on car forums hundreds of accounts of this same issue happening to people with this sameheadrest.i have also read that there is a class action suit that has been filed against chrysler for this. This is dangerous and could cause a fatal accident if a driver is hit in the head while driving.

While driving on i-70 in colorado my driver side headrest airbag deployed in my 2013 town & country mini-van. There was nothing happening, we did not hit anything, there were no bumps or reasons for it to deploy. It struck me hard in the back of the head causing whiplash. We pulled over and the head rest locking pin and come out of the inside of the headrest. The reason was the plastic hooks holding it had broken. We pulled it together and wrapped it with a strap.*dt

The michelin tires, energy saver a/s are defective and dry rotting causing a potential blowout and accident.the accelerator is positioned too far forward and the brake is positioned too far back,causing the foot to slide under the brake when changing over from acceleration to braking. A very serious problem and defect in the design and workmanship of this vehicle.

As i was backing out of a parking space, i lost power steering and power brakes.steering was very stiff and brakes were hard.it was similar to when the car stalls, but the car was still running.i put the car in drive and attempted to pull forward.still no power steering or power brakes.i put the car in park and no change.i turned off the vehicle, waited a minute or two and then restarted it.car was fine then.when this occurred, no indicators lit on the dash. I took the car to the dealer and they were unable to replicate the problem or determine any cause of the problem.they did not test drive the car, as it still had the same mileage as when i dropped it off.

My van with 18,000 miles went in for service and i was told that the grind i feel in my brakes of my chrysler town and country was due to 'warped' rotors. The brake pads were fine, but the rotors warped due to excessive heat created when i use the brakes! i am confused, what are brakes for?i paid to have my rotors cut, only because i need this van to transport young children,it is and has been a problem for years with chrysler vans that the brakes need to be replace way before the norm.chrysler should be forced into a recall. The consumer should not have to pay for parts and labor when it is obvious there is a problem here. I would think that 9 times out of 10 a van is purchased because of kids!!shame on chrysler for allowing our kids to be passengers in vans with faulty parts!

When i was driving in reverse after making a u turn the brake lock up on me causing the car to roll. It was so dangerous i hadabsolutely no control of the car. There are worse cases, when im driving up a hill imagine that...... I just rolled down the hiil, i thought it was over.

When driving in the mountains of colorado and going down a steep incline when i applied the brakes to slow down the car shuddered like it was going to fall apart, scared my wife and grandchildren badly, afraid to drive in this car now. Appears t o be a problem with the rotors overheating and wrapping per two brake specialist i took the car to. Called chrysler and they want me to take it into the dealer to have brakes checked out, but want to charge me a diagnostic fee up front and wont do a free brake inspection for a very possible brake rotor defect (cheap rotors?) i don't have the money for the upfront diagnostic fee as i was laid off a year ago. They will not forego the upfront fee so i am stuck with perhaps a faulty brake system. This definitely should be looked into as a safety problem. The chrysler case number was [xxx].information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

Power brake booster has gone bad on a 2013 vehicle.i have spoken with other owners who have the same problem.the current recall #p14 - safety recall - brake booster / 2011-2014 (wd) dodge durango and (wk) jeep grand cherokee, needs to be expanded to cover this. The booster went out on my car while i was in motion on a roadway that was unoccupied by other drivers at the time.luckily, i was able to bring the car safely to a stop.

When i drive over any type of moderate or rough terrain, my car rattles or makes a sound similar to popping popcorn.

Car would not stop immediately when brakes were applied...paid over $950 to fix.also had overheating..replacement of heater hose that goes to firewall.part alone cost $250. Overheating on highway.

The contact owns a 2013 chrysler town and country. While driving approximately 25 mph and attempting to engage the brakes, a grinding noise emitted from the vehicle before it came to a stop.

?last march i was driving on highway in rush hour, 60 ? 65 mph.van shuts off, breaks do not work, and steering wheel is locked.all i could do is wait until the van coasted to a stop; i put it in park and then started it back up again in order to exit the expressway.?took the van in.they kept it for over a week and then told me that they replaced something with the brakes and now it is working fine.?(11/04/14), i was on vacation in ohio.going 40 mph and the same thing happened.again, i was lucky and no accident.?took the van to nearest dealership. They charged me $79 to check out the car ? and they did not find anything.i would have thought that would have been a covered charge.?chrysler ?escalated my ticket to corporate? and they also asked me if i felt safe driving my van home.i did not feel safe ? but really did not see a choice because all the dealership and the surrounding car rental places had to offer me was a small car and i had 3 people, luggage and a wheelchair to get home. ?i drove side roads home ? the total trip took me an additional 9 hours instead of 4.5. (11/06/14) the car shut down again on me ? no one was on the road at the time.?(11/07/14) ray laetham dealership in grosse pointe, michigan.?11/12/14 dealership asked several questions about the car and said the engineers at chrysler have given them additional things to try?11/14/14 dealership tells me i can pick up my van.engineers have decided that it must have been the e85 gas that i had been using "which has been known to cause problems" even though that is the gas that i was told to use.hopefully i will survive the last 6 months of my lease.i have a van that i cannot drive my family in.

(the following is quoted from the dealer work sheet): "c/s while driving was pulled over by another motorist and was told that smoke was coming from right rear wheel area. Has heard rubbing noise from this area previous to this event. (note that no action was taken this first time. Vehicle had approx. 1,000 miles)check and advise.test drove check for tsb and rack and inspected: found both rear brakes got hot. Caliper(s) are sticking.(had this problem occurred on a freeway at 60 - 70 mph it could well have been a very different outcome.)replace rear brakes, pads, rotors and calipers."an ironic side ;note: we were provided with a 2011 chrysler 200 vin: [xxx] with 34,972 miles. As we were returning this vehicle i had to make a fast stop. And the right front brake made grindingnoise and locked up momentarily.

The contact owns a 2013 chrysler town and country. While driving at an unknown speeds, a roaring noise was heard from the rear of the vehicle without warning. The contact looked underneath the vehicle and noticed that the rear brake pads were worn, metal to metal and caused the rear calipers to stick.

I drove my eldorado equipped handicap van (mileage was only 38k) for approximately 2 miles without incident.i was in a parking lot and was pulling away from an atm and suddenly the steering felt sloppy or like a flat tire.i checked the tires and all was fine.i pulled onto a city street and the steering stopped working. The steering wheel was not aligning with the direction of the tires. I immediately got off the road.

The vehicle drifts to the right at any speed but the drift is greater at highway speeds. The steering wheel has to be held 8-10 degrees to the left to keep the car straight. The vehicle has been back to the dealer 5 times and still has not been corrected.

The sliding side passenger doors on my van will occasionly close by themselves, just after having opened them to load passenger. This is extremely scary when the passengers are my grand children. Heard of other problems like this, but they were with vehicle on a incline. Mine happen on level surface.

I was driving down the expressway on aug 13th around 9pm when suddenly the hood of my minivan flew open and smacked my windshield. Everything went black in front of me due to the windshield shattering and the hood up against the car.i was forced to navigate myself and my newborn twins across the 4 lane highway unable to see a thing.luckily i made it without causing a horrible accident.when the officer arrived he pointed out the latch of the hood did not simply come undone but the bolts were actually stripped out and the entire mechanism had defaulted. He strongly encouraged me to contact chrysler. I contacted chrysler the following morning.my minivan has never been wrecked nor had we had any problems or concerns with the hood before. My minivan still remains at the body shop waiting to be repaired because chrysler claims they are in no way responsible for what happened with the vehicle.

2013 chrysler town and country.consumer writes in regards to defective pinch sensors sliding and rear doors in vehicle.the consumer stated her dog was almost crushed by the sliding door, the day after she leased the vehicle. The salesperson stated the door would stop, but that was not true as she later learned when the service manager tested it. Though it will stop with push back force, a limb or small person would be crushed. The service manager determined all the other vehicles on the lot functioned in the same manner. So it appeared that it was not an isolated defect. The liftgate also required increasing force to stop. As it lowered, the consumer was unable to stop it, when it was within a foot or so of closing.

On the way home from purchasing the vehicle i stopped to walk the dogs.i turned off the ignition and walked over to the passenger side.i opened the door with the door handle.the door was about 3/4 open when i reached in to get the dog's leashes.even though the door hadn't completely opened it suddenly started closing rapidly.i was able to get my head out but not my arm.the door closed on my arm and trapped me.in order to stop the closing door i grabbed the door and pulled on the door with my left hand and it stopped.if i had not reacted this way the door would have crushed my arm.i then had to reach over with my left hand and use the door handle to open the door and free myself.i have a couple of scrapes on my arm, it is slightly swollen and sore but luckily it didn't break.if i hadn't seen the door start to close it could have trapped my head.if my dogs would have been in the doorway they would have been killed.this vehicle is supposed to have a safety stop if anything is in the doorway.

When i drive over any type of moderate or rough terrain, my car rattles or makes a sound similar to popping popcorn.

Front struts are noisy and mechanic says the rubber top plates are destroyed. They are only 4 years old and car only has 20,200 miles on it.i feel this is a part problem from the vendor since new, as newly purchased struts from monroe have a lifetime replacement warranty.with the mileage on the t&c being so low, and chrysler's warranty not exceeding 3yrs/36,000milesthis should not happen. The car sits in the shade because of tree cover, so heat should not be the issue. It is used as a local sedan would normally be used with very limited usage. The warranty service was pulled by chrysler but they never detected this issue. I am a vietnam vet with hearing issues, however the front end noise has increased until i took it today to a mechanic.1-2-18.two struts have been quoted at $800.

After doing research online i have found that many people, including myself have had the rear evaporator fail due to chrysler's poor design and then are charging upwards of $1000 to fix the problem.

Passenger side active headrest restraint went off unexpectedly.vehicle was stationary, engine off.no one in vehicle at the time.

My car needed a tune up and i took the car for repair when they called me they told me that i have a left cylinder head that is broken and needs to be repaired. He told me that those cars have a extended warranty of 10 years 150,000 miles which ever comes first. But it is not showing up. He told me that i should call the chrysler group and find out about the extended warranty. I have spoken to numerous reps and get a run around. My vehicle should be covered. It has the same piece damaged, motor is the same and model is the same. To repair this piece it is $2,500 in labor and $800 the piece. I cannot afford this. I need some assistance regarding this issue. Please assist. I would like to get this repaired as soon as possible. My car has 138400 miles and use my car everyday for work.i have included many articles that talk about this warrantyhttps://www.motortrend.com/news/chrysler-extends-pentastar-v-6-warranties/https://www.autonews.com/article/20140616/retail05/306169945/chrysler-extends-warranty-on-some-2011-13-v-6s

Car would not stop immediately when brakes were applied...paid over $950 to fix.also had overheating..replacement of heater hose that goes to firewall.part alone cost $250. Overheating on highway.

Recurring evaporative emissions leak detected (very small).vehicle has been taken back to chrysler multiple times and check engine light comes back on.code is p0456

When returning to my parked van. The van would not start then notice that the van was reading that the shift gearing the reverse position, but the shift gear was in the park posit. The shift gear would not move out of the park position. Had to have the van towed. Was informed by the dealer is that the shift cable assembly needs to be replace. This vehicle is only 2 yr old, and has only 80000 on it miles. Was parked on a city street.

Possible black urethane polymer issue as with 2014 & 2015 windshield. Water leakage, wind sound on driver side while driving, when vehicle is on uneven terrain, window scratching sound occurs while driving. Bought vehicle used.not sure if original factory glass is present...name i believe is pinkerton or something like that.anyway, safelight window doesn't do detach and re-attach work, as glass has broken in the past, so uncertain how to determine if this is a problem such as was for the 2014 & 2015 vehicles per the old or expired polymer caulking.nevertheless, sometimes while driving, sounds like windshield could come off or dislodge, but not always.didn't happen when we first bought vehicle this past summer.bought vehicle last summer and noticed water on the floor after rains, with once or twice seeing a fine stream of water on driver side of window frame per water coming in.can't keep floor dry.also, in the summer/fall, per possible water in vehicle, noticed foggy window from within, when starting up and certainly now during the winter, per a frost like effect, till defrost is turned on. As for when this occurred, there is no specific date.obtained vehicle in june of 2017, didn't notice water on floor till later in summer, didn't hear or notice windshield wind sounds till january of this year (2018).january 15 2018 date is arbitrary and not exact as this has been developing over time.

We bought this car with about 60,000 miles on it in 2016 and suddenly the blind spot monitoring system stopped working. It's sold as a safety feature but there is a flaw in the design that allows rain, snow, mud etc to get into the sensor and create malfunction. This feature alerts the driver when there is a vehicle in the blind spot, and the driver relys on this feature quite a bit because there are huge blind spots in due to the design of the car. When the sensor goes out, it costs 2000.00 to fix and there is a chime and flashing lights every minute which is a huge distraction to the driver and it's very frustrating! as an owner of this vehicle, i've learned to rely on the blind spot monitoring system to assist my driving and keep me safe. This is a very common problem and has the potential to cause very serious injuries.

Our car was parked in the driveway. We opened the side door then closed it.when the door closed the back window blew out.

On 6/11/19 i took my van to have a oil change and tires rotated. About 30 minutes later my van dinged and the brake light, abs light, traction lights came on and the speedometer quit working. I took it back to the garage and told them what happened. It was there that i found out the electric doors did not work. They said they hadn't done anything that would cause that. They sent me to a garage behind them. They could find anything on their machine. Reset the lights and i left. Within a few feet the lights came back on and the speedometer quit. I took it to my mechanic. He could not find the problem. The speedometer and the electric doors did start working again. He sent me to ramey's chrysler princeton wv. On 6/17/19 they said it was a right rear wheel sensor. My mechanic put it on but it didn't fix the problem. He sent me back to ramey's. On 7/10/19 they said i needed the right front wheel sensor. That didn't fix the problem.i had the wheel bearings checked but they were alright. I took my van back on 7/24/19 1:00pm per my mechanic request to check the tipm module and to call him so he could talk to someone up there. They said that it might not be that and i needed to leave the van there so they could do an in-depth analysis. I have not heard from them and they have not called my mechanic. I even ask on fb if anyone would know what the problem was. Most said that they could not find a solution so they just drive it the way it is. I need my cruise control due to my back and legs. I think this is a safety issue and someone needs to find out what is going on. I have paid over $300 and still don't know what the problem is. Thank you.

We received notice that the rear quarter vent window switch could overheat if exposed to liquid moisture.it could cause a burning odor, smoke, or a driver's door fire without warning.we were notified in january, 2015, and chrysler has still not supplied the needed parts to the dealership.

Door on drivers side front and door on passenger rear sliding door does not lock.you can no lock with key fob on either door or you cannot even lock manually on passenger side sliding door. This is a security safety issue and needs to be addressed.

Have had nothing but problems and have nothing good to say about this van!

My friend and i had just finished shopping at the mall.i double clicked my fob to open the vehicle (mini-van) tailgate and it opened as usual.i reached in to arrange some packages and was suddenly hit "hard" on the top of my head.the tailgate continued pushing hard downward with an additional force.my only escape was to drop and roll away from it.this put me into the drive thru lane for entering traffic.fortunately no cars were entering at that instant, however people driving through were stopping to check if i was ok; not to mention other impatient ones honking their horns to get traffic moving again!. When i arrived home, i tried to repeat the process while my wife recorded it on her cell phone.the tailgate/door appears tosnap about half way down, then momentarily stall while the power mechanism engages to ensure complete closure of the door.i have reported this to chrysler (complaint number 63236930), but have not received any response.to conclude, the problem was a result of a failed lift-gate air cylinder.i have since had this replaced.this is a real hazard and painful as well.chrysler and/or any other manufacturer should have a safer latch or inter-lock system to ensure that this will not happen.this design is just waiting to fail.it can't be that difficult to design a simple/safe latch.cost can't be a concern; just look what these vans are selling for.

Rear ac evaporator ended up having a leak, needed to be replaced like many other chrysler town & countrys and dodge caravans of these years.apparently, it's pretty common for these to have damage through normal use of the vehicle, considering the rear evaporator is directly behind the rear passenger wheel well.there isn't any form of protection for this part of the system, making it fragile, and normal driving will kick up enough rocks, debris, and dirt to cause damage.had mine fixed in august 2017 on a 2013 town & country, doesn't seem to be a recall.not the cheapest repair in the world, at roughly $1,000, all due to poor design considerations.

Having transmission issues. Check engine light came on. Caused by p0740. Dealer engine light is on because the transmission needs to be replaced in a 5 year old vehicle.

The key fob stop working. One button at a time

Passenger seat headrest blew open while driving to work today. No accident involved. Just bam! looks like the plastic pieces holding a pin in place gave out.

Driving down a highway our van's snap ring broke and destroyed the transmission and disabled van on a busy highway. Transmission went out without warning. Could have been hit by another car.

Blind spot monitoring system inoperable.after approx 45,000 miles the blind spot indicator no longer works.dealer claims it is a common occurrence with the rear sensor behind the bumper and since it is not considered a "safety issue" because it can be turned off it will cost over $1000 to fix.who can honestly say that a blind spot monitor and cross path detection is not a safety feature that i paid a lot of extra money to have in the first place.it is wrong to not have a recall and/or have this covered under warranty.

Headrest failed, plastic, holding pin broke and headrest came apart. Vehicle was stationary.

I have problems with the ac not working, as i brought it to the dealer for the lifetime warranty for a poor design. It sits over the rear wheelwhich lets road debree. This is a known issue has been for over 20 years and has never been corrected.

While driving my car it would just stall at 40+ mph and i would just roll to the side of the road. This has happened several times leaving me stranded until the engine could be restarted 30 t0 40 minutes later. I'm worried this could happen at anytime anywhere eventually leading to an accident. I am very concerned. I've been to chrysler several times for fixes which did not correct this problem. They have no remedy at this point. I am very concerned!

My headrest on my wife's 2013 town and country exploded while we were parked and inside the vehicle waiting on my son to come out of the hotel.it hit me so hard, i literally saw stars and it stunned me...i didn't really know what had happened...we were in lakeland when this happened at the lakeland convention center picking up our son who was participating in the state science fair.after the headrest, it took a little bit to get my senses back...after my son came out, we headed back towards home which was about hour and 15 min ride back.. I had my wife checking the internet to see what if what we had experienced had happened to others but we had no internet most of the drive..i took some medication for headache and neck, when i got home...spent time after arriving home and the next morning doing research to find that there had been multiple incidents of headrests exploding and people being hurt...i made an appointment with dr who prescribed some medication, the to chiropractor---been seeing him since that time..i have documents of visits up to this point.i spoke to chrysler to begin with and they told me it wasn't there responsibility and i would have to pay to have replaced....i told them that i wasn't going to pay for it---i was given a number to speak with someone at chrysler...they sent an independent person to do some diagnostics and testing and informed me that it was chryslers fault and that they would pay to have headrests replaced.all i can say is that i can see how someone's neck can get broke.the impact was severe, enough to stun me and i am a big man--6/4 380 pounds--i thought that someone had hit us from behind it was so hard... I have been at chiropractor for over a year--different times as it would be bothering me...seems to be an ongoing issue--i hope that this issue can be addressed*dt*dt

When starting it shuts off and take a few tries before starting. Using push bottom start happens everyday about 1 month after buying it

Rear ac evaporator rusted out whole rear ac system lines rusted out and need replaced

Overnight sitting in the driveway the head rest (active headrest restraint) popped forward. Upon inspection the plastic was broken and the hook was still latched. The head rest was never deployed by the vehicle intentionally and the plastic broke causing it to fail open.

Takata recall. Our passenger side sliding door often doesn't latch shut and will also open at random sometimes.

Life threatening situation occurred while driving our 2013 chrysler town and country minivan.we were traveling on the new york state thruway, utilizing the cruise control and as we attempted to pass a tractor trailer the accelerator stuck.my husband was driving and had lost total control of the vehicle other than steering.we were traveling at 65 mph.our 9 year old was in the car and began to panic and cry.we frantically tried to remedy the situation which lasted 30-40 seconds then resolved on its own.thank goodness there were no cars in our immediate path or we would have reared ended them or been forced to drive into the median.

There are about 10 to 12 times that i have tried to engage my cruise control and it would not come on. The only way that i could get to come as it should, was to pull off the road and cut the engine off and restart it and it would most likely start to work. I just wonder what else is not working when this happen. I did call cryrsler and report it as well as had the dealership make a note on his work sheet. I have not received a call from anyone.thank you for your help

I just received the 2nd recall notice about the rear quarter vent window switch, which may lead to a driver's door fire.my local chrysler dealer tells me the replacement part is not available.the part was not available when i called in october.how long does chrysler have to replace a defective part?

Drivers doorrear window switch could start a fire was disconnectedits over 8months waiting its a lease van long time waiting with no window use family of seven so dearly missed.

Drivers village in new york sold me this vehicle without mentioning this recall and without disconnecting it to prevent a driver door fire. I received a letter in the mail about the recall soon after purchasing it. It was recalling the vehicle for the "rear quarter vent window switch" which could cause a fire in the driver-side door. This dealership is obviously looking for the deal with little to no interest in the safety of its customers. Please investigate this dealership to prevent them from potentially putting others in danger. Thank you for your time.
