2014 Chrysler Town And Country complaints

I HAVE EXPERIENCED A FAILURE IN THE NUMBER TWO CYLINDER HEAD. CHRYSLER REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE ANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS MOTOR FOR THIS YEAR. EVEN THOUGH IT IS THE SAME MOTOR THAT THEY HAVE USED IN 2011 2012 AND 2013 AND DURING THOSE YEARS THEY HAVE COVERED SUCH FAILURES. THIS PROBLEM IS EVIDENT BELOW 1000 RPM. YOU CAN FEEL THE CAR SHUDDER AND SHAKE AS A RESULT OF MISS FIRING IN CYLINDER TWO. I AM TOLD THAT IF IT IS NOT REPAIRED IT WILL EVENTUALLY CAUSE MY ENGINE TO FAIL COMPLETELY. THE CURRENT PRICE TAG IS APPROXIMATELY $3000.

AIRBAG DASH SIGNAL INTERMITTENTLY ILLUMINATES. IT SEEMS TO BE RELATED TO A SENSOR IN THE DRIVER SEATBELT. WAS GIVEN AN ESTIMATE OF $375. IT CHIMES WHEN I TURN THE WHEEL. I'M NOT CONFIDENT THAT THE AIRBAG WILL SAFELY DEPLOY IF IN AN ACCIDENT

THE VAN NEEDS A NEW BREAK BOOSTER AND I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THE DODGE WHOLESALE PARTS WAREHOUSE THAT NONE ARE AVAILABLE AND 128 ARE ON BACK ORDER WITH NO DATE ON WHEN THEY WILL BE AVAILABLE. MY CAR IS UNSAFE AND THE BREAKS COULD GO OUT AT ANYTIME AND IT COULD BE MONTHS BEFORE THE PART IS AVAILABLE. IN THE MEAN TIME MYSELF AND OTHER DODGE, CHRYSLER CUSTOMERS ARE DRIVING UNSAFE CARS.

THE ACTIVE HEADREST ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT DEPLOYED STRIKING MY 14 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER IN THE HEAD WHILE DRIVING AND NO ACCIDENT OCCURRING. UPON INSPECTION, THE SYSTEM DID NOT DEPLOY DUE THE MECHANISM RELEASING THE PIN BUT RATHER THE PLASTIC THAT IS SUPPOSED HOLD THE PIN FAILED RESULTING IN DEPLOYMENT. THERE IS NO WAY TO RESET THE HEADREST BECAUSE IT IS BROKEN. I HAVE SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERNS WITH THE DRIVER SIDE POTENTIALLY FAILING AND DEPLOYING IN A SIMILAR MANNER. THE DRIVER COULD BE STRUCK IN THE HEAD CAUSING INJURY OR ACCIDENT. REPLACING BOTH HEADRESTS WOULD BE A SIGNIFICANT COST.

MISFIRE CYLINDER #6. CODE 306 . WHILE IN IDLE. COIL AND SPARKS REPLACED MISFIRE CONTINUED. INJECTORS CHECKED, LEAK TEST DONE, AND COMPRESSION GOOD ON ALL CYLINDERS BUT PROBLEM PERSISTS. THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL FOR SAME ISSUE ON 2011 THROUGH 2013 MODELS. BUT NOT 2014.

IT WON'T SHIFT FROM 1ST GEAR INTO 2ND GEAR

I WAS GETTING IN MY CAR IN THE GARAGE OF MY HOME WHEN MY ACTIVE HEADREST DEPLOYED. I WASN'T INJURED BUT I WAS CERTAINLY STARTLED AND NOW AM UNSURE WHAT TO DO. THE HEADREST CANNOT BE RESET; THERE ARE BROKEN PIECES WHICH HAVE FALLEN DOWN INSIDE THE PLASTIC CASING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD A BANG COMING FROM THE VEHICLE, BUT CONTINUED TO KEEP DRIVING. UPON REACHING HIS DESTINATION, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT A PIECE OF PANELING FROM THE LEFT PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR HAD COME OFF OF THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT DUE TO THE CLIMATE IN WHICH HE LIVES, THE EXTREME HEAT MUST HAVE CAUSED THE PANELING TO MELT. THE MANUFACTURER OFFERED NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO PRESTIGE CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE (6520 CENTENNIAL CENTER BLVD, LAS VEGAS, NV 89149, 702-625-7812) FOR AN UNRELATED MATTER. WHILE THERE, THE CONTACT WAS GIVEN A $200 ESTIMATE FOR REPAIRING THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 52,000.

SLIDING DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR IS POORLY DESIGNED. THE MOTOR IS CHEAPLY MADE AND HAS BURNT OUT TWICE IN THE PAST YEAR ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE SLIDING DOOR. WHEN THE MOTOR IN THE ACTUATOR BURNS OUT IT CAUSES THE DOOR TO SEIZE WITHOUT WARNING AND YOU CAN NO LONGER OPEN THE DOOR. THIS HAPPENED WITHOUT WARNING WHEN WE NEEDED TO GET OUR YOUNG CHILD OUT OF THE VEHICLE IN A HURRY AND COULD NOT OPEN THE DOOR. WE HAD TO HAVE A BODY SHOP MAKE THE REPAIR TO EVEN OPEN THE DOOR ON EACH OCCASION AS THE DOOR LOCK SEIZES AND YOU CANNOT UNLOCK IT MANUALLY OR OPERATE HANDLE. UPON DISCOVERY OF THE ISSUE WE LOOKED ONLINE ONLY TO DISCOVER FORUMNS OF MANY TOWN AND COUNTRY OWNERS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IN AN EMERGENCY OR COLLISION THE DOOR WILL NOT BE ABLE TO OPEN AND THUS PASSENGERS BECOME STUCK INSIDE THE VEHICLE.

PASSENGER SIDE SLIDING DOOR 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. IT WILL CONTINUE TO DO THIS WHILE DRIVING AND RANDOMLY START AND STOP AGAIN.

SUSPENSION RATTLES, SHOCKS AND STRUTS RATTLE, HAVING TROUBLE STARDING ENGINE ON OFTEN, REMOTE START FAILS WITH NO INDICATION OF LOW BATTERY, ENGINE STALLS BEFORE STARTING. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON, AIRBAG LIGHT ON.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR FAILED TO GO IN MOTION. THE TRANSMISSION NO LONGER MOVED THE VEHICLE. WE WERE ON A STREET. IT STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROADWAY. TRANSMISSION FRONT PUMP AND TORQUE CONVERTER FAILED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED INCLUDING THE CLUTCH PACK.

I LEFT A HOUSE AND TURNED ON TO THE MAIN ROAD. CAME TO A STOP LIGHT. IT TURNED GREEN AND I STARTED TO GO BUT COULD NOT GET OVER 20 MPH. THEN IT WENT OUT OF GEAR AND THE RPMS WENT UP TO 7000. THE VEHICLE ROLLED TO A STOP. SAT FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES THEN IT MOVED AGAIN BUT NOT FAR ABOUT 20 FEET. CALLED AND HAD A TOW TRUCK COME OUT AND TAKE IT TO A SHOP. WAS TOLD THE TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REPLACED. CALLED CHRYSLER HEADQUARTERS ABOUT THE PROBLEM. THEY SAID THEY HAVE HAD NO PROBLEMS AND THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING. HAD THE VEHICLE TAKEN TO A CHRYSLER DEALER AND THEY CHECKED THE TRANSMISSION AND SAID THE PUMP IS NOT WORKING ALONG WITH SOME OTHER PARTS THAT CAME OFF.. NOW IT GOING TO COST BETWEEN $3000 TO $4000 TO FIX THE VAN.

TWICE THIS YEAR, AIR BAG INDICATOR ILLUMINATED ON DASHBOARD. IN JANUARY, THE PASSENGER SIDE SEATBELT ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. NOW IN SEPT, THE AIRBAG INDICATOR CAME ON AGAIN. THIS TIME THE SEATBELT AND WIRING ASSEMBLY NEEDS REPLACED ON THE DRIVER SIDE. THE REPAIRS TO THESE SAFETY FEATURES ARE COSTING >$1200 THIS YEAR. THE VEHICLE IS 5 YEARS OLD.

WHILE DRIVING THE VAN IT COMPLETLY DIES NO READINGS ON DADH AND THE STEERING QUITS AND THE BRAKES FAIL I ALMOST CRASHED INTTO A TREE AND A 2ND TIME I ALMOST CAUSED A 3 CAR PILE UP ON A HIGHWAY CHRYSLER CLAIMS THEY CANT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM MANY OTHER DRIVERS ARE HAVING THE SAME SAFETY PROBLEMS WHILE DRIVING WITHFAMY MEMBERS AND THEYRE AFRAID OF DYING OR KILLING OTHERS

1. VAN IS RANDOMLY NOT STARTING 3-5 TIMES PER WEEK. REPLACED BATTERY ISSUE OF NOT STARTING STILL REMAINED. USING A JUMP STARTER BATTERY PACK TO START VEHICLE--STARTS RIGHT UP AFTER FEW MINUTES OF IT BEING CONNECTED. TOOK IT TO OWEGO, NY ROYAL CHRYSLER WAS GIVEN NO DIAGNOSIS. 4 DAYS LATER, TOOK TO LOCAL MECHANIC TOLD MY TIPM WAS BAD AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. MY HUSBAND BOUGHT A USED TIPM OFF EBAY AND REPLACED IT ON 8/7/19 SO FAR NO MORE ISSUES WITH IT NOT STARTING. 2. DIGITAL MESSAGE RANDOMLY APPEARS 1-2 TIMES PER MONTH SINCE MAY 22 MANUALLY OPERATE LIFTGATE. TOOK TO CHRYSLER OWEGO ROYAL TOLD MY LATCH SYSTEM IS RUSTED OUT. MY HUSBAND CLIMBED INTO THE TRUNK ONCE I GOT HOME WITH THIS REPORT---SEES NO SIGNS OF RUST. DISCONNECTED SWITCH THEN RECONNECTED IT--SOLVED PROBLEM FOR 2 1/2 MONTHS. MESSAGE JUST CAME ON AGAIN ON 8/21 MY HUSBAND DID SAME THING DISCONNECT THEN RECONNECT WORKING FINE NOW. ROYAL CHRYSLER WANTED $1600 TO REPAIR ACTUATOR. 3. SERVICE BLIND SPOT SYSTEM NOW APPEARS ON DIGITAL MESSAGE AS OF MAY 22 SAME DAY LIFTGATE MESSAGE CAME ON. THIS MESSAGE HAS NOT GONE OFF SINCE. TOOK TO CHRYSLER WANTED $546.00 TO REPAIR CHOOSE NOT TO REPAIR TOO EXPENSIVE. HUSBAND LOOKING TO BUY PARTS TO REPAIR HIMSELF ON EBAY. CONTACTED CHRYSLER GO NO WHERE TOLD PARTS NOT UNDER RECALL OR WARRANTY.

MY VAN STARTED MAKING A WHINING NOISE ON MY WAY TO WORK. ON THE WAY HOME I WAS SITTING AT A RED LIGHT AND WHEN I PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL THE VAN WOULD NOT MOVE. IT EVENTUALLY JERKED OFF AND I WAS ABLE TO GET ACROSS THE LIGHT WITHOUT BEING INVOLVED IN A SERIOUS CAR ACCIDENT. THE VAN STARTED IDLING UP BUT WOULD NOT SPEED UP. THANK GOODNESS I WAS ABLE TO GET HOME. I WAS SO GLAD MY BABIES WERE NOT IN THE VAN WITH ME. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS DEFECT IN TRANSMISSION. I HAD ABSOLUTELY NO WARNING MY TRANSMISSION WAS ABOUT TO GO OUT.

THE PASSENGER SIDE SLIDING DOOR TRIES TO OPEN AND CLOSE REPEATEDLY WITHOUT SUCCESS. THIS CAUSES THE EXTERNAL LIGHTS AND AND TURN ALL LIGHTS TO CONSTANTLY GO OFF AND THE VAN TO DING LIKE A DOOR IS OPENING. ONCE THIS STARTS, IT DOES NOT MATTER IF THE CAR IS PARKED, DRIVING, ON, OR OFF.

THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO RUN WITH THE IGNITION KEY REMOVED.LIGHTS AND ASSESSORIES ALSO STAY ON.HAVE TO PULL FUSE AND BATTERY TO SHUT VEHICLE DOWN.

2 YEARS AGO ON OUR WAY TO FL OUR FLY WHEEL CRACKED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED DOWN IN FL. NOW A FEW WEEKS AGO THE FLY WHEEL IS MAKING THE SAME NOISE IT DID 2 YEARS AGO. WE SHOULDNT HAVE TO REPLACE IT EVERY COUPLE YEARS. SO I HAVE NO VEHICLE TO DRIVE AND WE HAVE TO RELY ON USIN MY HUSBANDS TRUCK AND IM 6 MONTHS PREGNANT. I REALLY NEED TO HAVE MY VAN WORKING!

APPROXIMATELY AROUND 7 PM EASTERN TIME ON AUGUST 8, 2019, I [XXX] WAS DRIVING 30 MPH (CITY STREET) AND ALL OF SUDDENLY MY HEADREST DEPLOYED ON ME (DRIVER SIDE HEADREST). THUS, CAUSING MY HEAD AND NECK TO SHOOT FORWARD ABRUPTLY. REMINDER, NO ACCIDENT OR REAR COLLISION WAS TAKEN PLACE. I IMMEDIATELY CONTACTED A LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND WAS ABLE TO GET CUSTOMER CARE NUMBER. I CALLED AND EXPLAINED THE SITUATION AND WAS GIVEN A CASE NUMBER AND THAT I WOULD BE CONTACTED BY A SPECIALIST BETWEEN 2 AND 4 DAYS, WHICH I FEEL LIKE IS A HORRIBLE TIME TO WAIT ON THIS SERIOUS MATTER. WAS TOLD TO LEAVE VEHICLE IN DRIVEWAY. ANOTHER PROLONGED CONCERN DUE TO THE FACT THAT I WORK. IT'S BEEN TWO HOURS SINCE THAT INCIDENT AND BEGINNING TO HAVE UPPER SHOULDER/NECK PAIN WITH A HEADACHE. IF YOU HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTION, FEEL FREE TO ASK. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WHILE I WAS BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY THE DRIVERS HEADREST EXPLODED INTO MY NECK FOR NO REASON. THREE DAYS LATER I WAS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT WHILE MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE PASSENGER HEADREST EXPLODED INTO MY NECK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. BOTH HEADRESTS EXPLODED DUE TO THE PLASTIC BRACKET HOLDING THE PIN BREAKING WHEN NO ACCIDENT HAD TAKEN PLACE.

MY PASSENGER ACTIVE HEADREST SYSTEM EMPLOYED WHILE WE WERE PARKED WAITING FOR THE FERRY TO ARRIVE. MY DAUGHTERS BOYFRIEND WAS UNHURT BUT WAS JOLTED UP BY THE DEFECTIVE HEADREST IN MY 2014 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY

I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH MY AIR BAG LIGHT COMING ON OVER THE LAST YEAR. I TOOK IT TO A DEALER IN ILLINOIS IN SEPTEMBER AND THEY GOT IT TO SHUT OFF BUT IT STARTED GOING ON AND OFF A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO AND NOW IT IS ON PERMANENTLY.

THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WILL RANDOMLY ILLUMINATE AND DING AS IF THE AIRBAG HAS FAILED. THIS HAPPENS AT RANDOM AND UNDER NO SPECIFIC CIRCUMSTANCES WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD. THIS CONCERNS ME FOR THE FACT I FEAR THE AIR BAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY IF AN ACCIDENT OCCURS.

CAR STALLS FOR NO APPARENT REASON. 1 OR 2 TIMES A WEEK. TYPICALLY WHEN GOING SLOW SPEEDS OR COMING TO A STOP. NO ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. ONLY THE TRACTION LIGHT WHICH IS NOT APPLICABLE. AS IT IS DRY AND SUNNY. SOME ELECTRICAL WORKS OFF AND AN. FRONT LED PANEL SLIGHTLY FADES IN AN OUT. FAN MOTOR (LIKE A/C FAN) GOES HIGH AND LOW SPEEDS. MAINLY THE ENGINE JUST SHUTS OFF WITHOUT WARNING, SO IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I USED REGULAR KEY INSTEAD OF KEY FOB AND PUSH BOTTOM AND STILL DOES IT. TOOK IT IN TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY WANTED TO CHARGE ME $850 FOR A NEW ALTERNATOR BUT THEY SAID "TRY THAT FIRST", SO THEY WERE NOT SURE. TOOK IT IN SOMEWHERE ELSE AND THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND A PROBLEM. NEEDED A LIGHT TO COME ON FIRST. MEANWHILE I'M DRIVING A CAR THAT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE CHRYSLER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ACTIVATED INDEPENDENTLY, THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY DECELERATED, AND THE BLIND SPOT PROTECTION UNAVAILABLE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED FOUR TIMES. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUTDOWN, NO POWER STEERING, LITTLE BRAKING, NO LIGHTS ON DISPLAY. THIS WOULD HAPPEN RANDOMLY WITH NO ENGINE LIGHT WARNINGS. HAPPENS MULTIPLE TIMES. ONCE SHUTDOWN IN MIDDLE OF MAJOR INTERSECTION AND IT WOULD NOT START UP, WOULD TRY TO TURN OVER. IT ALSO SEEMS TO HAPPEN AROUND 35-45 MPH AND COMING TO A STOP. TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP HOOKED IT UP ON COMPUTER NO ENGINE LIGHT OR SENSOR TRIPED AND WHILE IT WAS IDLING CAR SHUTDOWN ASKED SERVICE MANAGER TO CHECK ABOUT A RECALL ON 2011 VEHICLES (P54) BUT THEY SAID NO RECALL. I TAKE IT TO WORK EVERY DAY LESS THEN A MILE AWAY AND CAR HAS SHUTDOWN ON ME TWICE. AFRAID TO DRIVE IT ANY DISTANCE

IN OCTOBER THE FLEX PLATE CRACKED, REPAIRED. IT CRACKED AGAIN IN DECEMBER, REPAIRED. THEN CRACKED AGAIN IN FEBRUARY, REPAIRED AND TOLD THE TRANSMISSION WAS BAD CAUSING FLEX PLATE TO CRACK. CRACKED AGAIN THIS MONTH THEY ARE NOW ARE STATING IT IS THE ENGINE. THIS IS A DANGEROUS VEHICLE FOR A FAMILY. I HAVE BEEN WITHOUT IT OVER 35 DAYS IN 8 MONTHS. CHRYSLER DOES NOT WANT TO ADDRESS THE ISSUES. IT HAD LESS THAN 100, 000 MILES ON IT.

I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 45 MPH ON A MAIN ROADWAY IN OHIO WHILE ON VACATION. SUDDENLY, THE VEHICLE WENT COMPLETELY DEAD AND STALLED. ALL DISPLAYS WENT BLACK. I HAD NO STEERING AND LIMITED BRAKING ABILITY. I WAS ABLE TO LEAVE THE ROADWAY SAFELY. THEN, I PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE, AND DRIVE BACK TO OUR VACATION HOME WITHOUT ISSUE.

CAR STARTED SHUDDERING AND STALLING WHILE BRAKING/AT LIGHTS AND STOP SIGNS. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT SHOWED IT WAS TORQUE CONVERTER. CAR WAS REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY. JUST DAYS AFTER THE REPAIR THE CAR WAS WORSE. THEY REPAIRED AGAIN. CAR STILL STALLS JUST DAYS AFTER 2ND REPAIR. THEY DO NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX THIS. AND MY WARRANTY IS ALMOST OVER. THE CAR STILL SHUDDERS WHEN BRAKING AND STALLS AT LIGHTS.

HEADREST UNEXPECTEDLY POPPED INTO A PROTRUDING POSITION AS OPPOSED TO A COMPACT POSITION. THE FRONT OF THE HEADREST SEPARATED FROM THE PORTION MOUNTED. THE INSIDE OF THE HEADREST MECHANISM IS VISIBLE AND A CONNECTION IS BROKEN. THE HEADREST CAN BE COMPRESSED BACK INTO THE ORIGINAL COMPACT POSITION BUT WILL NOT HOLD AS THE BAR THAT KEEPS THE FRONT OF THE HEADREST ATTACHED TO THE MOUNTED PORTION IS BROKEN. IT NO LONGER "LATCHES" INTO THE CORRECT POSITION. THE VAN WAS STATIONARY. THE VAN WAS RUNNING BUT NOT IN MOTION.

INVOICE DATE 02/28/2019: WHILE DRIVING THE OIL FILTER/COOLER ON TOP THE ENGINE CRACKED OPEN AND STARTED PUMPING OIL OUT AND ALL OVER THE TRANSMISSION. HAD ADAPTER ENGINE OIL FILTER COOLER (68105583AF) REPLACED. THIS COULD HAVE TRASHED THE ENGINE HAD I NOT SMELLED OIL THROUGH THE VENTS AND CHECKED TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON. CAUGHT IT EARLY ENOUGH IT ONLY LOST 1/4 A QUART OF OIL. WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND THEY REPLACE A LOT OF THESE ON THE V6 PENTASTAR ENGINES. AN ONLINE SEARCH REINFORCES THIS CLAIM. TOTAL COST WAS $923.98

INVOICE DATE 06/12/2019: VAN ON STARTUP LOUD TAPPING FROM THE ENGINE. AFTER TAKING TO THE DEALER, WAS TOLD A ROCKER ARM HAD FAILED AND DAMAGED THE INTAKE CAMSHAFT ON THE RIGHT/FRONT SIDE OF THE ENGINE. HAD TO HAVE ALL 12 ROCKER ARMS REPLACED (5184296AH), THE INTAKE CAMSHAFT (5184380AG), ALL 12 TAPPET VALVE LASH (5184332AA). WAS TOLD BY DEALER THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE V6 PENTASTAR ENGINES. AN ONLINE SEARCH REINFORCES THIS STATEMENT. TOTAL COST WAS $1,356.54

I HAVE GOT A #2 CYL MISFIRE THAT HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED AS A BAD HEAD AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. AFTER DOING A LITTLE BIT OF RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND THAT CHRYSLER DID A FIX ON SEVERAL OTHER YEARS FOR THIS SAME ISSUE BUT DOES NOT COVER THE 2014 MODEL PER CHRYSLER. CHRYSLER HAS TOLD ME THAT PER MY VIN I AM NOT COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED COVERAGE AND THAT THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN FIXED BUT I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND OUT WHAT FIX THIS IS. I DID NOT HAVE TO SEARCH VERY LONG ON THE INTERNET TO FIND OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE 2014 MODEL MOTOR THAT HAVE SUFFERED THE SAME FAILURE THAT I HAVE AND ALSO CONSISTENT WITH THE PREVIOUS FIX.

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

CAR PARKED AND OFF IN DRIVEWAY. AFTER EXITING VEHICLE BUT BEFORE CLOSING DOOR, DRIVERS HEADREST POPPED AND FRONT SECTION SEPARATED FROM REAR SECTION ON RIGHT SIDE. VISUAL INDICATION OF PLASTIC BRACKET SHEARED. NO POWER ON VEHICLE. UPON TESTING IGNITION ASSOCIATED AIRBAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED INDICATING FAILURE OF AIRBAGS OR AHR. NO COLLISIONS IN VEHICLE HISTORY OR ASSOCIATED WITH EVENT. NO DEPLOYMENT OF PASSENGER AHR.

NUMBER ONE THE ENGINE HAS BEEN REBUILT TWICE BECAUSE OF ENGINE MISFIRE. ALSO THE GAS PEDAL SOMETIMES GETS STUCK WHICH IS DANGEROUS . AND NOW THE AIR BAG SENSOR HAS BEEN ON AND THERE IS NO REASON FOR IT TO BE ON. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH AND THERE ARE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS WITH THIS MODEL OF VEHICLE IN REGARDS TO THE AIR BAG SENSOR. IT IS THE FRONT AIR BAG SENSOR THAT IS ON. I NEED THIS REPAIRED . IT IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AS I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF THE AIR BAG WILL WORK CORRECTLY

DEFOGGER INEFFICIENT AND UNSAFE WHEN RAINING IN SUMMER CAUSED BY KNOWN PROBLEM WITH A/C HEAT BLEND DOOR STICKING. AC ON ONE SIDE HIGH HEAT ON OTHER..CONDENSATION FORMS ON INSIDE WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY. FCA FIXING FOR FREE ON SOME 2014 -2105 MODELS BUT NOT ALL EVEN THOUGH SAME ISSUE REPORTED AND SAME PARTS (IDENTICAL PART NUMBERS) INVOLVED ON SAME VEHICLE IN SAME TIME FRAME.

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

DRIVER SIDE SLIDING DOOR WILL NOT OPEN FROM INSIDE OR OUT. JUST STOPPED WORKING ON ITS OWN. AUTOMATIC BUTTON WON'T OPEN IT FROM DRIVERS DOOR OR FROM BUTTONS ON REMOTE.

DRIVING ON INTERSTATE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST ALL POWER, LIGHTING FOR GAUGES, RADIO, ODOMETER, SPEEDOMETER, ETC, SLOWED TO AROUND 20 MPH (70 MPH ZONE) ENGINE BEGAN SMOKING. WAS ABLE TO EXIT AND ROLLED ONTO SIDE STREET. SMOKE EMANATING FROM UNDER HOOD. ENGINE WOULD NOT RESTART. VEHICLE INSPECTED BY MECHANIC WHO CONCLUDED: ENGINE BLOWN. VEHICLE PURCHASED USED ONLY 4 MONTHS PRIOR. OIL CHANGED AND FLUSH AND FILL PERFORMED BY CERTIFIED MECHANIC 1 MONTH AGO.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE AUTOMATIC PASSENGER DOOR OPENED WITHOUT WARNING INTERMITTENTLY. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 94,000.

TAKATA RECALL. .ON 04/03/2019 APPROXIMATELY 3:45 PM I WAS ON A CITY RESIDENTIAL STREET MOVING AT 30 MPH. I WAS COMING UP TO A STOP SIGN GOING DOWNHILL AND I PRESSED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND IT WENT TO THE FLOOR. I PRESSED AGAIN AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED I PUMPED THEM SEVERAL TIMES AND NOTHING. I WENT THRU THE STOP STREET AND ANOTHER CITY BLOCK AT A DEAD END I HIT A GUARD RAIL HEAD-ON AND TORE IT COMPLETELY OUT. I WENT 100 FEET INTO A WOODED AREA AND TORE OUT MANY TREES ABOUT 1 - 2 INCHES IN DIAMETER. I CAME TO AND ABRUPT STOP AGAINST FOUR TREES ABOUT 3-5 INCHES IN DIAMETER. NONE OF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AND THE SEAT BELTS DID NOT LOCK.. I AM A RETIRED POLICE OFFICER SO I PAID ATTENTION TO WHAT WAS HAPPENING. I CALLED 911 AND GOT THE POLICE ON THE WAY. REPORT # [XXX]. WHILE I WAS WAITING I TRIED THE BRAKES AGAIN AND AFTER TWO PUMPS THEY WORKED. BY THE WAY THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING. I THEN PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND PUSHED DOWN SLOWLY AND IT WENT TO THE FLOOR AGAIN. I HAD A SCOOTER AND LIFT ON THE BACK AND IT HAD COME THRU THE BACK WINDOW FROM THE SUDDEN STOP AGAINST THE TREES. I HAD JUST PURCHASED THIS FROM WOLFCHASE HYUNDAI IN MEMPHIS TN. ON 01/21/2019 AND HAD EXAMINED IT AS THOROUGHLY I AS COULD AND HAD A CARFAX REPORT THAT SAID NO ACCIDENTS. WHEN I REPORTED THE ACCIDENT TO STATE FARM INSURANCE THEY SAID IN MAY OF 2017 IT WAS IN A BAD ACCIDENT IN MO AND THAT THE GRILL, BUMPER, LEFT HEADLIGHT FENDER AND DOOR WERE ALL REPLACED. AND NO AIRBAG DEPLOYED.. I HAVE PICTURE

WHILE IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET, MY INSTRUMENT CLUSTER PANEL LIT UP, WINDSHIELD WIPERS TURNED ON AND COULDN'T BE TURNED OFF, TURN SIGNALS STOPPED WORKING, AS WELL AS THE SPEEDOMETER, ODOMETER, TEMPERATURE GADGE, RADIO, AND HEATING/COOLING SYSTEM. THE VEHICLE STILL DRIVES, BUT IS NOT SAFE TO BE ON THE ROAD DUE TO NO SPEEDOMETER AND TURN SIGNALS. ALSO, MY DRIVER SIDE WINDOW WAS ROLLED DOWN AND IS NOW STUCK IN THE DOWNWARD POSITION

THE VAN SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING, TONIGHT I WAS TRAVELING AND AS I STARTED DE ACCELERATION FOR A STOP LIGHT THE VAN SHUT OFF AND I LOST POWER STEERING AND BREAKS. THISNCOUKDVE BEEN VERY BAD ESPECIALLY IF I HAD MY KIDS IN THE CAR.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE DASHBOARD LIT UP LIKE A CHRISTMAS TREE AND THE ENGINE COMPLETELY SHUT OFF LOCKING THE WHEEL. AFTER TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG. ABOUT A MONTH LATER WE WERE DRIVING HOME FROM A SOCCER GAME AND THE CAR CAME OUT OF GEAR WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 70 MPH. THE RPM SHOT UP AND I WAS UNABLE TO DRIVE OVER 40 MPH. WE ENDED UP STAYING THE NIGHT AND HAVING THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY REPLACED THE SENSOR SOLENOID PAC. 6 MONTHS LATER I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM A SOCCER TOURNAMENT AND THE SAME EXACT THING HAPPENED AGAIN HOWEVER I HAD SLOWED THE VEHICLE DOWN DRIVING THROUGH A RESIDENTIAL AREA AND WENT TO SPEED UP AFTER RE-ENTERING THE HIGHWAY. THE RPM'S WERE AT 4 TO 5 GOING 30 MPH. I PULLED OVER TURNED OFF THE CAR AND LET IT SIT FOR 5 MINUTES. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE NORMALLY AFTER THAT , THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THERE IS NOTHING THE COULD DO. STORED CODES ECU: ABS DTC: C212A16 DESCRIPTION: STORED- SYSTEM VOLTAGE-CIRCUIT VOLTAGE BELOW THRESHOLD; ECU: PCM DTC: P075A DESCRIPTION: LC SOLENOID CIRCUIT ECU: DMFL/DMFR DTC: B21A1 DESCRIPTION: STORED- ECU RESET/RECOVERY OCCURRED. I HAVE 71,000 MILES ON THE ENGINE AND IT'S UNDER WARRANTY FOR 13 MONTHS MORE OR 28,000 MILES. PLEASE HELP!

THE CABLE ON THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW KEEPS BREAKING. IT'S BEEN REPLACED TWICE. THE FIRST TIME THE WINDOW FELL AND BUSTED IN THE DOOR. THE 2ND TIME IT DID NOT BREAK BUT I HEARD THE CABLE SNAP IN THE DOOR.

MY 2014 T&C HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE TPMS. IT SHOWS THAT I HAVE LOW PRESSURE ALL THE TIME. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS (P63 NHTSA 14V-632) BUT THE DEALER SAYS MY VIN IS NOT COVERED. I HAVE THE EXACT PROBLEM AND MODEL YEAR SO COME ON.

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