2014 Chrysler Town And Country complaints

THE PASSENGER ACTIVE HEAD REST EXPLODED FORWARD WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I HAD JUST DROPPED MY WIFE OFF AND WAS HEADED DOWN THE ROAD AND A LOUD BOOM HAPPENED AND I LOOKED OVER AND SAW THE HEAD REST STICKING FORWARD FROM THE REST OF THE PIECE. IF MY WIFE WAS STILL IN THE VEHICLE IT WOULD HAVE STRUCK HER IN THE HEAD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOSS POWER STEERING ASSIST WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED AND OPERATED AS DESIGNED. ADDITIONALLY, AFTER COMING TO A STOP, THE POWER STEERING FAILED TO OPERATE AS DESIGNED. THE VEHICLE ALSO FAILED TO ACCELERATE AS INTENDED. THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF, RESTARTED, AND OPERATED AS INTENDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO BE DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 115,000.

SLIDING DOORS HAVE DIFFICULTY OPENING AND CLOSING ON BOTH SIDES. PLASTIC COVERING BREAKS OFF EVERY TIME THE DOORS OPEN/CLOSE, LEAVING EXPOSED WIRES ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE.

CAR JUST PARKED IN PARKING SPOT AND PASSENGER TOOK SEATBELT OFF AND STARTED TO PULL DOOR LEVER. PASSENGER HEADREST AIRBAG BURSTED OPEN, KNOCKING THE PASSENGER HEAD FORWARD. HEADREST MADE A LOUD BANG. THE MOTION AND FORCE OF THE HEADREST BANGED AGAINST THE BACK OF PASSENGER HEAD CAUSING INSTANT HEADACHE AND WHIPLASH.

AT 61,000 MILES VEHICLE WAS IN ROAD AND QUIT. WOULD NOT SHIFT. NO WARNINGS OR LIGHTS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2014 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY TOURING VAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY OF HIS HOME AND VEHICLE SUDDENLY BURST INTO FLAMES. THE FLAMES QUICKLY ENGULFED THE ENTIRE VEHICLE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS CONTACTED AND PUT OUT THE FLAMES. THE CONTACT DID NOT RECEIVE EITHER A POLICE OR FIRE DEPARTMENT REPORT. THE INSURANCE COMPANY TOTALED THE VEHICLE ALONG WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE THAT WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY AS WELL. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND THEY SENT A LETTER DIRECTING THE CONTACT TO WORK WITH THE INSURANCE COMPANY TO SETTLE THE CLAIM . THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE 115,000. *LN*JB

WAS DRIVING FROM PA TO NEW YORK ON THE HIGHWAY AND ABOUT 150 MILES INTO THE TRIP THE HEADREST EXPLODED OUT WORD AND STUCK ME IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD. CAUSING A LITTLE CONFUSION AND A INSTANT HEADACHE. THERE WAS NOTHING THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED THIS. THE ROAD WAS NOT BUMPY OR WAS THERE ANY KIND OF IMPACT TO THE VAN. THANK GOD MY WIFE WAS NOT DRIVING BECAUSE THE IMPACT OF THE HEADREST PROBABLY WOULD HAVE KNOCKED HER OUT AND CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. THE HEADREST SYSTEM IS SUPPOSED TO BE A SAFETY DEVICE BUT IS DEFECTIVE AND A RISK TO ANYONE THAT IS DRIVING A CHRYSLER PRODUCT.

BLIND SPOT DETECTION MONITOR FAILING DUE TO CORROSION ON THE TERMINALS

REAR PASSENGER DOOR WILL OPEN AND CLOSE NORMALLY BUT WHEN IT GETS HOT OUTSIDE THE DOOR WILL NOT LATCH WHEN IT CLOSES. DOOR SOUNDS LIKE IT IS CONSTANTLY TRYING TO LATCH SHUT. THIS WILL ALSO START HAPPENING IF THE VEHICLE GOES OVER A BUMP WHILE DRIVING AND THE LIGHTS GO ON THAT THE DOOR IS OPEN. THE DOOR IS TRYING TO OPEN AND CLOSE WHILE DRIVING

DRIVER SIDE REAR SLIDING DOOR WILL NOT LATCH ALL THE WAY. KEEPS POPPING IN AND OUT. WHEN DRIVING THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT COMES WHEN WHEN I HIT A BUMP. I HAVE READ ONLINE THIS HAPPENING TO MANY OTHER TOWNS AND COUNTRIES.

THE HEADREST ON THE DRIVERS SIDE DEPLOYED WHILE DRIVING ON A SMOOTH ROAD AND DISORIENTED ME FOR A FEW SECONDS. THE STREET IS CURVY AND IS ON A CAUSEWAY. I DRIVE IT EVERYDAY AT A SPEED LIMIT OF 45.

I'VE LISTED A DATE BELOW I DON'T RECALL THE EXACT DATE, DON'T RECALL THE EXACT MILEAGE, OR THE EXACT SPEED EVERYTHING LISTED HEREIN IS APPROXIMATE, IF IT HAD HAPPENED ALL DAY EVERYDAY THEN I COULD'VE REMEMBERED, BUT THE FOLLOWING HAS HAPPENED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS BOTH IN WINTER AND IN SUMMER. 1. VEHICLE HAS STOPPED ON ME WHILE DRIVING MULTIPLE TIMES, DOESN'T OTHERWISE SEEM TO DRIVE ROUGH, IT HAS ALSO STALLED ON ME WHILE DRIVING AND I MAKE "Y" TURNS OR AM DRIVING AND STOP AT A STOP SIGN. I PUT THE VAN BACK IN PARK, AND IT WILL START BACK UP. IT DOESN'T HAPPEN WHILE THE CAR IS IN PARK. SOMETIMES THERE IS A BURNING SMELL THAT IS SIMILAR TO THE SMELL OF AN AIRPLANE. 2. TICKING NOISE WHEN I START AND CONTINUES WHILE I'M DRIVING AND INCREASES AS I ACCELERATE. 3. HEAT AND A/C WILL TURN ON, ON ITS OWN, TURNS ON THE REAR FIRST, AND THEN THE FRONT SEATS AFTER, I CAN TURN IT OFF AND IT WILL REPEAT THE PROCESS (I'VE ACTUALLY RECORDED IT HAPPENING). 4. LEFT PASSENGER DOOR CLOSES ON ITS OWN, WON'T STAY OPEN, CLICKING NOISE EVEN IF IT'S CLOSED. 5. INTERIOR LIGHTS AND RADIO WILL FLICKER AND GO DIM THEN BRIGHT (AS IF SWITCHING FROM NIGHT TO DAYTIME THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE TIME I'M DRIVING FREQUENTLY HAPPENS).

MY VEHICLE RANDOMLY SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. IT HAPPENED 15 TIMES OVER THE PAST YEAR CREATING EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATIONS. BECAUSE IT WAS NOT THROWING ANY CODES, AND WOULD NOT REPLICATE OFTEN, IT WAS HARD TO DIAGNOSE UNTIL I DEVELOPED AN ISSUE WITH STARTING THE CAR, ALMOST A YEAR LATER. THE WIN MODULE WAS BAD. I NOW KNOW THAT EARLIER MODEL YEAR'S HAD A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE. I FIND IT CURIOUS THAT THE BAD WIN MODULE WOULD OCCUR RANDOMLY FOR MY MODEL YEAR WITHOUT A COLLECTION OF OCCURANCES.

WHILE PARKED IN A PARKING LOT, BEFORE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE PASSENGER HEADREST EXPLODED FORWARD WITH A BANG. UPON INSPECTION, THE PLASTIC PIECE THAT IS DESIGNED TO RETAIN THE AHR DEVICE FAILED. HEADREST IS UNUSABLE.

THE REAR PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR CONTINUES TO TRY TO LATCH AFTER CLOSED, GENERALLY ONLY ON VERY HOT DAYS. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY OR IN MOTION. THIS IS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES. PLEASE READ THE COMMENTS ON THE SITE BELOW TO SEE HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN EFFECTED BY THIS- HOW IS THIS NOT A RECALL YET??

EARLY ON/ABOUT AUGUST 27, 2020 I WENT OUT TO MY CHRYSLER T&C , PARKED OVERNIGHT IN MY HOME'S DRIVEWAY, AND DISCOVERED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT HEADREST HAD DEPLOYED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN INVOLVED IN ANY INCIDENTS OF SUDDEN CONTACT WITH ANY OTHER VEHICLE OR OBJECT. EXAMINATION OF THE VEHICLE EXTERIOR SHOWS ZERO EVIDENCE OF ANY CONTACT WITH ANOTHER OBJECT ON ANY OF THE OUTSIDE SURFACES. THE HEADREST WAS NOT DEPLOYED WHEN I WAS LAST IN THE VEHICLE, BUT WAS DEPLOYED WHEN I LOOKED AT IT THE NEXT MORNING. I HAVE NOT YET TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO ANY REPAIR FACILITY AND NO ONE EXCEPT ME AND MY WIFE HAVE SEEN THE PROBLEM. I AM THE SOLE PERSON TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. NO OTHER PERSON, INCLUDING MY WIFE, DRIVES IT. .

WHILE DRIVING THE DRIVER SIDE HEADREST DEPLOYED HITTING ME IN THE HEAD. I WAS TRAVELING AT ABOUT 40 MILES PER HOUR ON A STATE HIGHWAY.

WILL NOT CRANK OR TURNOVER. WORKED FINE 9:00 PM NIGHT BEFORE. NEXT MORNING IT WILL NOT START.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CENTER SEAT HEADREST FAILED TO REMAIN UPRIGHT, INSTEAD POINTING TOWARD THE FRONT WINDSHIELD. THE CONTACT CALLED EARNHARDT CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM DEALER LOCATED AT 1521 E. DRIVERS WAY, GILBERT, AZ 85297, AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL AND THAT THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 115,108.

DRIVERS SEAT PROBLEM. ACTIVE HEADREST RESTRAINT FAULTY THE PLASTIC RETENTION TABS HOLDING THE METAL BAR IN PLACE SPONTANEOUSLY BROKE ,THE METAL TEETH WERE STILL LOCKED DOWN ON THE BAR SHOWING IT DIDN'T DEPLOY, JUST THE PLASTIC TABS BROKE. THIS CAUSED THE HEADREST TO 'ACTIVATE' AND MOVE FORWARD. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN DRIVEWAY. NO INJURIES AS NO ONE IN THE CAR.

MY HEADREST DEPLOYED VERY SUDDENLY WHILE I WAS DRIVING GOING ABOUT 40 MILES AN HOUR AND FOR NO REASON...MY CAR WASN'T HIT AND I DIDN'T EVEN HIT A BUMP. IT SOUNDED LIKE AN EXPLOSION AND THE HEADREST HIT THE BACK OF MY HEAD SO HARD MY CHIN HIT MY CHEST. I'M VERY LUCKY I WAS NOT KNOCKED OUT AND DIDN'T CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.*DT CONSUMER STATED SHE SOUGHT MEDICAL ATTENTION BUT STILL HAS DISCOMFORT ON HER NECK.*JB

WHEN I WAS DRIVING SUDDENLY MY VAN TURN OFF

ON MARCH 12, 2019 MY VAN BURST INTO FLAMES WHILE PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY. THE VAN WAS A TOTAL LOSS AND MY VW WHICH WAS PARKED IN FRONT OF THE VAN WAS DEEMED TO BE A TOTAL LOSS BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY. THERE WAS ALSO EXTENSIVE DAMAGE DONE TO THE FRONT WALL OF MY HOME AND LANDSCAPING. THE VAN HAD BEEN DRIVEN LOCALLY APPROXIMATELY THREE HOURS PRIOR TO THE FIRE.*DT*JB

TRANSMISSION WENT WITH 56000 MILES, GETTING THE CAR BACK IN ALMOST 4 WEEKS. NOW CAR JUST STOPS DEAD. HAD TO TOW TO DEALER AGAIN SAME PROBLEM. SCARED TO DRIVE BECAUSE AFTER GETTING CAR BACK ENGINE 'ROLLS'. FEELS LIKE STOPPING. I STALLED YESTERDAY AT INTERSECTION AND GOT TOWED TO DEALER. THE FIXED TRANS BUT NOW I HAVE JUST STOPPING PROBLEM. LOOKING THE PROBLEM UP I FIND IT'S A PROBLEM WITH CHRYSLER. I CAN'T AFFORD TO KEEP A LEMON. PLEASE CHECK IT OUT.

THE HEADREST ACTIVE RESTRAINT SYSTEM DEPLOYED WHILE DRIVING IN TOWN. THE PLASTIC PIECE THAT HOLDS THE PIN BROKE.

ONE MORNING BEFORE WORK WHEN I STARTED THE VAN I NOTICED THE BATTERY LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE DROVE FINE AND AFTER WORK,THE LIGHT WAS NOT ON ANYMORE. THE VAN SAT ALL WEEKEND AND WHEN I STARTED IT UP 2 DAYS LATER THE BATTERY LIGHT WAS AGAIN ILLUMINATED. SO I SCHEDULED IT TO BE SEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP. BY THE TIME THE DEALERSHIP COULD GET ME IN, THE BATTERY LIGHT WAS NO LONGER ON. THE DEALERSHIP RAN DIAGNOSTICS AND COULD FIND NO ISSUES SO I PICKED IT UP WITH NO RESOLUTION. TODAY HAS BEEN A WEEK SINCE THE DEALERSHIP LOOKED AT THE VAN, THE BATTERY LIGHT HAS BEEN ON SOLID FOR 3 DAYS NOW AND ON MY WAY TO DRIVE IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP THIS MORNING, IT COMPLETELY DIED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED THE REST OF THE WAY THERE. THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY DIED WHILE DRIVING ON A STRAIGHT 35MPH ROAD. ALL POWER STEERING AND INSTRUMENTS WERE LOST AND I COULDNT EVEN PUT THE VAN IN NEUTRAL OR GET THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION. I AM CURRENTLY WAITING TO HEAR FROM THE DEALERSHIP AS TO WHAT THEY FOUND AS THE CAUSE.

THE REAR SLIDING DOOR MAKES A LOUD BUZZING NOISE WHEN THE DOOR LOCKS AND UNLOCKS. I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT IT IS THE ACTUATOR. IT HAPPENS EVERY SINGLE TIME THE DOOR IS LOCKED OR UNLOCKED, WETHER DRIVING OR STATIONARY.

MY WIFE AND I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN FEBRUARY OF 2016. AT THAT TIME, EVERYTHING WAS FULLY FUNCTIONAL AND WORKING CORRECTLY. IT WASN'T UNTIL THE WEATHER WARMED UP (STARTED APPROXIMATELY IN APRIL OF 2016) THAT WE NOTICED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE PASSENGER DOOR WOULD NOT CLOSE PROPERLY, WHILE STATIONARY NOR WHILE IN MOTION AT TIMES. THIS HAPPENS ANY TIME, BUT IT PARTICULARLY HAPPENS WHEN THE WEATHER IS ABOVE 75 DEGREES. THE DOOR HAS A PROBLEM LATCHING CLOSED COMPLETELY. THE DOOR WITH MAKE A JERKING NOISE AS IF IT'S TRYING TO CLOSE, AND IT DOES NOT STOP UNTIL WE PUSH FORCEFULLY ON THE REAR OF THE DOOR TO CATCH THE LATCH. THE DOOR INDICATOR LIGHT ALSO FLASHES ON AND OFF AS THE DOOR IS ATTEMPTING TO CLOSE COMPLETELY. THIS ALSO HAPPENS SOMETIMES WHILE DRIVING. IF THERE IS THE SLIGHTEST BUMP, THE DOOR WILL START TO MAKE THE NOISE AS IF IT'S TRYING TO LATCH. THERE HAVE BEEN TIMES WHEN WE CAN SEE THE DAYLIGHT THROUGH THE DOOR BECAUSE THE DOOR ISN'T CLOSED PROPERLY. THIS STARTED OUT AS A SPORADIC ISSUE BUT IT HAS INCREASINGLY OCCURRED OVER THE YEARS. WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO FIND SOLUTIONS FOR A WHILE NOW. IT HAS BEEN WORSE THIS YEAR AND MORE DANGEROUS WITH BEING ABLE TO SEE THE DAYLIGHT/ROADWAY WHILE DRIVING IF IT'S NOT CLOSED COMPLETELY. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE FOR ANYONE. WE KNOW THAT WE ARE NOT THE ONLY FAMILY WITH THIS VEHICLE THAT ARE HAVING THESE ISSUES. WE JOINED A GROUP THREAD ON CARGURUS.COM WHERE SO MANY OTHERS ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE. THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL. I'VE CONTACTED MO

THE SLIDING DOOR ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE WILL SOMETIMES START OPENING AND CLOSING, AS IF IT IS ATTEMPTING TO RE-LATCH. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHEN THE CAR WAS IN MOTION AND HAD TRAVELED OVER A BUMP. THIS HAS ALSO HAPPENED WHEN THE DOOR IS CLOSING BUT DOES NOT SEEM TO BE ABLE TO LATCH PROPERLY.

THE HEADREST ACTIVE RESTRAINT SYSTEM DEPLOYED WHILE SITTING IN OUR DRIVEWAY. THE PLASTIC PIECE THAT HOLDS THE PIN BROKE.

NOTICED PASSANGER HEADREST HAD DEPLOYED ONE DAY. PLASTIC EARS THAT HOLD LATCH PIN IN PLACE HAD BROKEN. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, NO INJURIES.

A FEW WEEKS AFTER GETTING MY OIL CHANGED I WAS DRIVING WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK IT TO AUTO ZONE AND RAN A DIAGNOSTIC ON THE VEHICLE. THE RESULT WAS A CODE P0520 WHICH INDICATES A FAULT IN THE ENGINE OIL PRESSURE SENSOR/SWITCH ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT FOR A PREDETERMINED PERIOD OF TIME. MOST LIKELY SOLUTION IS TO REPLACE THE OIL PRESSURE SWITCH.

THE HEADREST BROKED BY ITSELF, THE PLASTIC OF THE MECHANISM CRACKED CAUSING THE HEADREST TO BE HOLD IN PLACE JUST BY THE MATERIAL. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, NOT INVOLVED IN ACCIDENT OR ANYTHING ELSE.

MY 8 YEAR OLD SON LEANED WITH HIS HAND ON THE BACK OF THE DRIVER SIDE HEAD REST. THE HEAD REST RELEASED SHOOTING FORWARD. UPON TRYING TO RESET THE HEADREST I NOTICED THE PLASTIC PIECE NEEDED TO HOLD THE SPRING MOUNT TO LOCK IT WAS BROKE THUS NOT ALLOWING ME TO RESET THE HEADREST. THE CAR WAS PARKED AND OFF WHILE THIS HAPPENED.

THE FRONT DRIVERS SEAT HEAD REST EXPLODED WHEN I WAS GETTING INTO THE CAR THE CAR WAS PARKED

DRIVERS SEAT ACTIVE HEAD RESTRAINT DEPLOYED UNEXPECTEDLY WITH NO IMPACT OR KNOWN REASON.

ON JULY 3, 2020 I WAS SITTING AT A RED LIGHT AT NIGHT WHEN MY DRIVER SIDE HEADREST DEPLOYED/EXPLODED WITHOUT ANY WARNING, MY VEHICLE WAS NOT IN MOTION AT THE TIME. NO INJURIES BUT HEADREST IS DEFECTIVE NOW. I WOULD HAVE BEEN INJURED IF I WAS RESTING ON IT AT THE TIME WITHOUT A DOUBT.

AT 50,700 MILES AND 6 MONTHS OUT OF WARRANTY, MY FLEX PLATE CRACKED. THE FLEX PLATE CONNECTS TO THE END OF THE CRANKSHAFT AND THE TORQUE CONVERTER. IF YOUR VEHICLE IS RUNNING WHEN THE FLEX PLATE BREAKS YOUR TRANSMISSION WILL NOT RECEIVE THE ROTATIONAL POWER TRANSFER FROM THE ENGINE TO TURN YOU TORQUE CONVERTER, WHICH CAN CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO BECOME IMMOBILIZED WHILE DRIVING. TO REPAIR THE FLEX PLATE, THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION MUST BE REMOVED WHICH IS VERY EXPENSIVE. ADDITIONALLY, A CRACKED FLEX PLATE ALMOST ALWAYS INDICATES A GREATER PROBLEM WITH YOUR ENGINE OR TRANSMISSION. WE ALSO EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS WITH HESITATION AND/OR PEELING OUT WHEN DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR. THE VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL WAS UNPREDICTABLE AND DANGEROUS. THIS WAS MY FAMILY CAR THAT I THOUGHT I COULD RELY ON FOR YEARS. INSTEAD, I FELT VERY UNSAFE DRIVING IT, AND WAS DISAPPOINTED TO HAVE SUCH A MAJOR POWERTRAIN FAILURE AT SUCH LOW MILEAGE. CHRYSLER REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM, RECALL, AND PROPERLY REPAIR THE VEHICLE DESPITE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS OF PEOPLE LOSING CONTROL WHILE DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS DUE TO THIS EXACT PROBLEM. I DECIDED I DIDN'T WANT TO BE THE PERSON THAT DIED SO I TRADED IT IN INSTEAD OF REPAIRING IT, BUT I LOST A LOT OF MONEY IN DOING THAT. YOU CAN'T PUT A PRICE ON YOUR FAMILY'S SAFETY - DO NOT BUY THIS CAR.

OUR 2014 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY DRIVER'S SIDE HEAD REST DEPLOYED. THE CAR WAS STATIONARY....PARKED IN OUR DRIVEWAY. NO ONE WAS HURT. THE PLASTIC PIECES ARE BROKEN UT THE METAL PIN IS IN PLACE.

VAN TURNED OFF AND WOULD CRANK BUT NOT START. HAPPENED AT RANDOM TIMES UNTIL IT WOULD NOT START AT ALL. WAS TOWED FOR REPAIR, WE HAD TO REPLACE THE TIPM. NOW ONLY A COUPLE WEEKS LATER THE VAN, AGAIN, WILL ONLY CRANK BUT NOT START. *TR

GOT IN MY CAR THIS MORNING AND NOTICED MY PASSENGER HEAD REST WAS STICKING OUT. DID SOME RESEARCH AND COME TO FIND OUT THE HEAD TEST DEPLOYED FOR NO REASON. I LOOKED AT IT MORE AND PLASTIC INSIDE OF IT BROKE WHICH CAUSE IT TO DEPLOY FOR NO REASON. *TR

WIFE WAS DRIVING THE CAR AS NORMAL WHEN BOTH ACTIVE HEAD RESTRAINTS DEPLOYED FOR NO REASON. THERE WAS NO SUDDEN STOP, NO IMPACT. ONE BLEW ALL THE WAY APART, THE OTHER BLEW HALF APART, AND THEN BLEW COMPLETELY WHEN SHE TOUCHED IT TO TRY TO ASSESS WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. THE CAUSE IS SIMPLE TO DETERMINE. THE HEAD RESTRAINT IS A METAL PIN RETAINED BY CHEAP PLASTIC, AND THE PLASTIC BROKE. I HAVE THE PLASTIC CHIPS TO PROVE IT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING, A NOISE OCCURRED THAT WAS COMING THROUGH THE VEHICLE VENT DRIVER SIDE FRONT DOOR AND SMOKE WAS COMING THROUGH THE VENT SWITCH. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT ON THE DRIVER SIDE BY THE THIRD-ROW SEAT THE CIGARETTE POWER SUPPLY CAUGHT ON FIRE. THE CONTACT COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TOOK A BEACH TOWEL TO SMOTHER THE FIRE FOR IT NOT TO SPREAD AND BURN HIS LEFT HAND BUT DID NOT SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE HOME. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND GIVEN A CASE NUMBER [XXX]. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 64,700. *DT INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).*JB

I WAS SITTING IN A PARKING LOT AND MY PASSENGER SIDE HEADREST DEPLOYED. I'M SCARED MY DRIVER'S SIDE WILL BE NEXT. CHRYSLER WANTED TO CHARGE ME $800 TO REPLACE IT WHEN IT WAS CLEARLY A DEFECTIVE PART. *TR

BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER HEADRESTS HAVE DEPLOYED AND WILL NOT RESET DUE TO BROKEN PARTS IN THE HEADRESTS. THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADRESTS DEPLOYED FIRST, AND RECENTLY THE DRIVER SIDE ALSO DEPLOYED. WE HAD TRIED TO RESET THEM BUT THEY WON'T STAY LATCHED AND CLOSED. IT APPEARS THAT THE BROKEN PART IS THE SAME PIECE ON BOTH HEADRESTS. I'VE ATTACHED PHOTOS OF EACH. BOTH INCIDENCES OCCURRED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IDLE WITH NO OCCUPANTS. WE HAVE NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT IN THIS VEHICLE. *TR

MY VAN STARTED MAKING A CLICKING NOISE WHILE ON AND WAS PULLING A CODE FOR MISFIRES IN THE ENGINE. IT TURNED OUT TO BE A COMMON KNOWN CONDITION CAUSING METAL IN THE OIL SYSTEM. I STILL OWE $8500.00 ON THIS VAN. I AM A SINGLE MOTHER OF THREE AND NOW WILL BE UPSIDE DOWN ON A CAR THAT I LOVE. I SPOKE TO DIFFERENT MECHANICS WHO AGREED IT HAPPENS IN THIS MODELS ENGINE. I BELIEVED CHRYSLER TO BE TOP QUALITY PRODUCT AND NEVER IMAGINED THAT I WOULD BE ON THE OTHER END OF A CALL TELLING ME THAT MY TOP QUALITY CAR IS NOT WHAT I THOUGHT IT WAS. I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED AND HAVE FEEL IT NEEDS REPORTED SO OTHER FAMILIES DO NOT HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE SAME FINANCIAL BURDEN THAT I AM. *TR

SUDDENLY EXPERIENCED BAD JERKING ABOVE 35 MPH AND FOUND OUT WAS A MISFIRES. REPLACED 2 SPARK PLUGS. MISFIRES STILL OCCURRING WHICH CAN NOW BE FELT WHILE IDLE (JOLT/HICCUPS AND AROUND 50-60 MPH). CAN ALSO HEAR ENGINE TICKING. COMMON WITH 2011-2013 ENGINES AND 2014 ENGINES ARE THE SAME SO EXTENDED WARRANTY SHOULD BE PROVIDED AS WELL. *TR

WHEN WE PURCHASED THE VAN IN 2018, THE DEALER TOLD US THE NUMBER 2 HEAD WAS REPLACED AND CAMSHAFT BECAUSE OF ROCKER ARM TICKING, NOW LAST FALL I HAD TO REPLACE 8 ROCKER ARMS ON THE SAME HEAD. CHRYSLER EXTENDED THE WARRANTIES ON 2011 THRU 2013, BUT THE 2014 HAS THE SAME EXACT ENGINE. WHY ISN'T IT COVERED UNDER THE EXTENED WARRANTY, I NEED ANOTHER CAMSHAFT.

SLIDING RIGHT SIDE DOOR OPENING BY ITSELF (MOSTLY HAPPENING OVERNIGHT), REAR LIFT GATE HAS OPENED BY ITSELF TWICE (SO FAR), DRIVER'S SIDE SLIDING DOOR HAS OPENED BY ITSELF ONCE (OVERNIGHT). I SHUT THE POWER SWITCH TO IT OFF, BUT IT'S STILL HAPPENING. SO FAR, THAT HAS NOT HAPPENED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS ON OR IN MOTION. I WORRY ABOUT IF I'M AWAY AND IT HAPPENS THAT SOMEONE COULD STEAL ARTICLES FROM MY VAN. THE ENGINE TEMPERATURE HAS BEEN RUNNING HIGH LATELY, WITH A SMELL OF ANTIFREEZE. I HAD THE RADIATOR FLUSHED AND THERMOSTAT REPLACED, BUT IT'S STILL RUNNING HOT. IT DOES THIS MOSTLY WHEN IT'S IDLING, EVEN IN COLD WEATHER.

POWER WINDOW REGULATOR FAILURE. I HAVE HAD NOT ONE, BUT TWO POWER WINDOW REGULATORS FAIL WHILE ROLLING THE WINDOWS UP. THE REGULATORS SHATTERED INSIDE MY DRIVER AND PASSENGER FRONT DOORS ON SEPARATE OCCASIONS. THIS CAUSED THE WINDOWS TO FALL INTO THE DOORS. I'M TOLD I'M LUCKY THE WINDOWS DIDN'T SHATTER. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE WHILE DRIVING AND THE WINDOW SUDDENLY FALLS DOWN, AND AN OBVIOUS SECURITY ISSUE IF YOUR VEHICLE HAS NO WINDOW.
