2013 Chrysler Town And Country complaints

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. *TR

MY 2013 TOWN N COUNTRY VAN IS HAVING AN OVERHEATING PROBLEM AND NOW I HAVE BEEN TOLD IT HAS BLOWN HEAD GASKETS AND NEEDS A POSSIBLE NEW MOTOR. IT IS ONLY 7 YEARS OLD HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE. IT HAS NOT BEEN MISUSED. *TR

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. *TR

HEADREST SAFETY FEATURE OF DEPLOYING FORWARD ACTIVATED WITHOUT CAUSE WHILE DRIVING AND NO OUTSIDE CONTACT WAS MADE. *TR

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. *TR

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 TO JULY 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! *TR

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

POWER TRAIN STOPPED WORKING IN THE MIDDLE OF A PUBLIC STREET WHILE IN MOTION, HAD TO REPLACE TRANSMISSION. *TR

PASSENGER FRONT HEAD REST EXPLODED WHILE CLEANING. STATIONARY IN GARAGE. *TR

THE HORN CANNOT HONKED BY PRESSING THE STEERING WHEEL COVER. IT SEEMS THAT THE CLOCK SPRING OR THE HORN SWITCH IN THE STEERING WHEEL ARE DEFECTIVE. BOTH FUSES FOR THE HORN ARE GOOD. THE HORN STILL WORKS WHEN THE PANIC BUTTON IS PRESSED ON THE REMOTE KEY FOB.

TL* THE CONTACT 2013 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNDISCLOSED SPEED, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FLICKERED DURING THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT INTERMITTENTLY THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ROBERSON MOTORS LOCATED AT (3100 RYAN DR SE, SALEM, OR 97301), WHERE THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE BUT OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 75,000.

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.

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.

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*JB

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.

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.

THE DOORS LOCK AND TRUNK DOESN'T TAKE THE LOCK. SOUND FRONT SUSPENSION, FRONT SEAT ADJUSTMENT, CAN'T USE HAND FREE SYSTEM

WHEN DRIVING VEHICLE, ENGINE SUDDENLY DIES AND MOST TIMES WILL NOT START. ENGINE WILL SOMETIMES START AND MOST TIMES WILL NOT. FURTHER INVESTIGATION FINDS THAT FUEL PUMP RELAY IS NOT ALWAYS WORKING. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS WHEN THIS OCCURS WHILE DRIVING AND STEERING AND BRAKING BECOME VERY DIFFICULT.

THE VAN RANDOMLY SHUTS DOWN WHILE DRIVING THIS MAKES IT HARD TO STEER AND COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THE POWER LOSS AND STEERING. THE VAN MUST BE SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL OR PARK TO RESTART. THIS CAN BE VERY DIFFICULT ESPECIALLY ON THE HIGHWAY. SOMETIMES IT SMELLS LIKE AN ELECTRICAL FIRE. IT HAS BEEN LOOKED AT BY SEVERAL MECHANICS WITH NOTHING FOUND. *LN*JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 70 TO 80 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN SAFELY TO THE RESIDENCE. HOWEVER, WHILE ATTEMPTING TO RESTART THE VEHICLE SEVERAL DAYS LATER THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START UP.

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 LATER IT 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 INCIDENTS I TOOK MY CAR TO THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP, AND PAID FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. THEY CONCLULED 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 OPTIO

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.

CAR CONTINUE TO TURN OFF. ENGINE AND ELECTRIC PROBLEM AS WELL. TOOK IT TO NUMEROUS AUTO REPAIR SHOPS AND WAISTED A LOT OF MONEY. NOTHING GOT FIXED SAID IT'S A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM, MECHANICS TRY TO FIX BUT FAILED TO DO TO IT'S A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM. RECALL THESE VANS!!!

RECALL THEM ALL! MY COUSIN HAS A DODGE ONE AND IT DOES THE EXACT SAMETHING.

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.

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.

AIR BAG LIGHT TURNS ON AND STAYS ON FOR MOST OF THE TIME WHILE DRIVING SOMETIMES SHUTS OFF AND THEN IN A FEW MINUTES TURNS BACK ON THIS HAPPENS ALMOST EVERY DAY

THIRD ROW MIDDLE SEATBELT DOES NOT ENGAGE RATCHETING LOCKING MECHANISM TO PROPERLY PROTECT PASSENGERS MAKING IT UNSAFE FOR CARSEATS AND PASSENGERS ALIKE.

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT VEERED THE VEHICLE TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD, TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF, WAITED FOR APPROXIMATELY FIVE MINUTES, TURNED THE VEHICLE BACK ON, AND ALL THE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED THE SAME FAILURE INTERMITTENTLY. THE CONTACT MANAGED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DIAGNOSED. PALMEN MOTORS DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM (5431 75TH ST, KENOSHA, WI 53142, (262) 671-1935) WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V530000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 17,000.

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 TO SNAP 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.

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.

2013 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY STALLS WITH NOW WARNING OR ERROR CAUSE CAR TO LOSE POWER STEERING AND COAST TO A STOP. IT HAS HAPPENED WITH NO PATTER AT VARIOUS SPEEDS AND TYPES OF DRIVING. IT IS A VERY DANGEROUS AS IT HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES OFTEN AT HIGHT SPEEDS AND IN TRAFFIC. I HAVE SEEN THAT MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD THIS SAME SAFETY ISSUE AND NO RESOLUTION HAS COME OF IT.

TAKATA RECALL. OUR PASSENGER SIDE SLIDING DOOR OFTEN DOESN'T LATCH SHUT AND WILL ALSO OPEN AT RANDOM SOMETIMES.
