2009 Chrysler Town And Country

Defect. Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain 2008-2010 Chrysler Town and Country and Dodge Grand Caravan and 2007-2011 Dodge Nitro vehicles. These vehicles may have a loose or missing brand emblem in the center of the steering wheel. The loose emblem or the securing nuts for the emblem within the driver air bag module may become projectiles in the event of a driver air bag deployment.

Risk. Projectiles as a result of driver air bag deployment in the event of a crash can increase the risk of injury.

Remedy. Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will replace the driver's air bag cover with a redesigned cover, free of charge. The recall began February 11, 2021. Owners may contact FCA US LLC customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is W09.

Lug studs sheared off, launching a tire into a house.

Vehicle shuts off while driving

Air conditioning condensation leaking below dashboard and onto carpet, causing electrical shorts in air bag and anti-lock brake (ABS). Chrysler identified this issue and issued a recall (K25) in January 2011, but only for vehicles manufactured through December 3, 2008. In consultation with Chrysler and according to its own internal documentation, my vehicle (manufactured in February 2009) has the same defective parts and is prone to the same safety issues caused by condensation leaking into critical electronic safety components, but they refuse to remedy the safety issue "due to it not being subject to the recall" -- despite Chrysler personnel conceding that my February-2009 was manufactured with the same, identical, flawed parts as those 2008 and earlier 2009 models that are subject to recall K25.

Driving the van and it shuts have no power! It has happened several times

Chrysler aka FCA has recently recalled TPMS sensors of 2022 vehicles but has NOT recalled the 2009 Town and Country TPMS systems. I bought my 2009 Town and Country new and bought the MaxiCare bumper to bumper lifetime no deductible warranty for it. It now has 180,000 miles on it. I've complained to the local dealer on numerous occasions about the TPMS giving false warnings. They have changed components for several years, but the problem has never been resolved. I've given them numerous videos of the false warnings as they happened. They have been unable to resolve the problem even after consulting Chrysler "experts" by setting up STAR Claims with Chrysler Corporation. This is a safety issue. The false audible and dash light warnings take place driving on expressways. The light stays lit for many miles. Then the system resets and the same thing can happen the same day or days or weeks later. The last date was 8/4/22. Attached photos are frames from the 8/4/22 videos I made showing 264.7 Trip Miles Alarm with two normal and two flat tires, 265.4 Trip Miles all 4 tires flat, 299.2 Trip Miles all 4 tires still flat, 341.8 Trip Miles normal display with normal tire pressures shown in all 4 tires after system reset itself.

The contact owns a 2009 Chrysler Town and Country. The contact stated that the TPMS warning light was illuminated, indicating that both front driver's side tire and the front passenger's side tire were underinflated; however, upon taking the vehicle to an independent mechanic, the contact was informed that the tire pressure for both tires were correct. The contact stated that the failure had been reoccurring. The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 144,000.

The van was parked and ignition turned off. Airbags deployed without warning. No collision, no bumpy road conditions, and no warning prior to deployment. Van was inspected at repair shop through insurance where they determined it was a manufacturer issue. When we contacted the manufacturer they stated since there was no recall they could not help us. Police was called and report made. Also have witnesses that van was parked and turned off at the time. Thankfully no one was in vehicle or could have been worse. Front airbags are the only ones that deployed.

The contact owns a 2009 Chrysler Town and Country. The contact stated while driving 10 MPH and pulling into a parking lot, the vehicle inadvertently stalled and the ignition key was released. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact stated that she reinserted the key into the ignition switch and restarted the vehicle; however, the failure reoccurred as she was attempting to pull into a parking space. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the camshaft had failed and needed to be replaced. The contact stated that the vehicle was repaired; however, the failure reoccurred twice while driving from the independent mechanic to her residence. The vehicle was taken back to the independent mechanic. The contact contacted an unknown dealer who advised that they were not aware of that specific failure. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 174,000.

The contact owns a 2009 Chrysler Town and Country. The contact stated after parking the vehicle at her residence, shortly after she heard a loud abnormal noise. The contact stated when she approached the vehicle, she saw the front driver’s and passenger’s side airbags had deployed independently, shattering the front windshield and rear passenger’s side windows. The contact stated no one was injured nor sought medical attention. The contact towed the vehicle to a local dealer where it remained. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 140,000.

TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitor System) gives false warnings of tires losing pressure. The flashing Yellow dashboard warning lights and audible alarm sounds and the dash display switches to show the four tire pressures. One by one the pressure of each of the four tires switches to horizontal lines until all four tire pressures are shown as horizontal lines. Meanwhile after many seconds the Warning Light becomes a steady yellow light. This steady yellow light and false flat tire readings continue for many miles (which can be over 50 miles). Sometimes parking and turning off the ignition resets the system. Sometimes restarting the vehicle just has it continue with the false readings. The false readings happen on smooth expressways and other roads as well. Sometimes they happen several times within a week. Other times weeks go by between false readings. The false audible and warning light are safety hazards because they are distracting, especially when it happens in a construction zone. This is a one owner vehicle and has been the subject of numerous complaints to the selling dealer about this issue. The dealer has been unable to repair the defect despite changing the module and tire sensors. Their history confirms failed repair efforts to fix the problem for several years at least back to November 3, 2016 despite being shown videos of the problem while the problem takes place.

The contact owns a 2009 Chrysler Town and Country. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V396000 (Air Bags, Steering) and took the vehicle to the dealer to have the emblem removed. The contact was informed that once the replacement emblem was received, he could bring the vehicle back. The contact stated that he contacted the dealer several times and was informed that the replacement emblem was not available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The contact stated that he placed duct tape on the steering to cover the emblem screw holes. The contact stated that he was concerned about the airbag deploying while driving over a bump. The contact attempted to call the manufacturer but was unable to speak to anyone. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.

The vehicle has began stalling while driving and the power steering and power brakes do not work after the car stalls. This is an extreme safety hazard for my wife and kids who use this vehicle and have found it difficult to steer and stop while driving. The problem could not be replicated by a service center and no solution was found. This problem has been occurring since August 2021 (which is when we bought the vehicle).

Our 2009 chrysler town and country is having major issues. The dashboard lights keep going on and off the speedometer won't work when this is happening also the windshield wipers go on automatically with me putting them on and won't stop. Sometimes while this occurs our automatic door won't operate or radio. We got a new alternator a new battery a new iod fuse and it's still happening i wasn't sure if this was a normal occurrence for chryslers so I did some research my van isn't the only one with the same issues we unfortunately bought it used a few months ago and can't take it back to the lot.

IT JUST WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING ON FORD RD IN MICHIGAN WHILE TURNING IN THE TURNING LANE.

THE LOSS OF TIRE PRESSURE ON EACH TIRES CAN ORIGINATE WITH ANY OF THE FOUR TIRES AND CONTINUES UNTIL ALL FOUR ARE "- -" READINGS. THE SYSTEM CONTINUES THE FALSE WARNING FOR MANY MINUTES. THE SYSTEM CAN SPONTANEOUS RESET THE FALSE WARNING TO NORMAL OPERATION DURING THE SAME TRAVEL. THE SYSTEM CAN CONTINUE THE FALSE WARNING AFTER THE IGNITION IS TURNED OFF, THE KEY FOB REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION SWITCH AND THE VEHICLE DOOR OPENED. THE FALSE WARNING CAN ARISE SPONTANEOUSLY UNDER ANY TRAVEL CONDITIONS WHETHER STOPPED OR IN MOTION, ON ROUGH CITY STREETS OR SMOOTH EXPRESSWAY, WHETHER TRAVELING STRAIGHT OR TURNING. THE FALSE WARNING CAN HAPPEN FREQUENTLY OR INTERMITTENTLY WEEKS OR MONTHS BETWEEN EVENTS. MY COMPLAINTS STARTED WHEN THE VEHICLE HAD MUCH LESS THAN 100,000 MILES. FOR FIVE YEARS OR SO THE DEALER WHO SOLD THE VEHICLE TO ME HAS BEEN UNABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM EVEN AFTER CONSULTING THE CHRYSLER T
