2016 Chrysler Town And Country complaints

SLIDING DOOR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE WILL NOT OPEN. TRIED MANUALLY FROM INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR, BUTTONS ON INSIDE AND KEY FOB. CLICKING CAN BE HEARD WHEN USING THE KEY FOB, BUT MECHANISM WILL NOT UNLOCK. COULD NOT GET MY DOG OUT OF HIS CRATE WITHOUT GOING TO DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE VAN, FOLDING DOWN SEAT INTO THE FLOOR AND HAVING SOMEONE HELP ME PULL THE CRATE AROUND SO IT'S DOOR COULD BE OPENED. VAN WAS PARKED.

THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 82,000.

CORRODED WIRING TO TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR ON A THREE YEAR OLD VEHICLE. WIRING ON A THREE-YEAR-OLD VEHICLE SHOULD NOT BE CORRODED ALREADY! THIS CAUSES THE SENSOR TO NOT MONITOR OF THE TIRE PRESSURE AT ALL OR INCORRECTLY MONITOR THE TIRE PRESSURE. THIS COULD BE A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE IF THE TIRE IS NOT INFLATED CORRECTLY.

SLIDING DOOR, LEFT SIDE, UNABLE TO UNLOCK WHILE PARKED WITH TRANSMISSION IN PARK, FOB, OR MANUAL INSIDE RELEASE. ALL OTHER DOOR LOCKS WORK WITH FOB, AND MANUALLY.

LEFT SIDE DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN. LOCAL DEALER IN LOCKED DOOR BUT EVERYTIME I LOCK THE DOORS, THE LOCK MAKES A VERY LOUD BUZZING NOISE.

I WAS IN MOTION DRIVING MY VEHICLE ON 495 ONE OF THE BIGGEST HIGHWAYS IN DC AREA. WHILE DRIVING MY TRANSMISSION STARTED TO SLIP COULD FEEL THIS SLIPS THEN MY CAR LOST ALL POWER REVED UP TO 5 6 WHILE PRESSING THE GAS BUT I COULD NOT GET THE CAR TO GO. THE MOST DANGEROUS DAY OF MY LIFE FOR MY CHILDREN AND I. THERE HAS ALREADY BEEN A RECALL ON THE SAME YEAR MAKE AND MODEL BUT NOT MY VIN NUMBER. RECALL 16V461000

HAVE 64987 MILES ON MY VEHICLE AND MY TRANSMISSION WENT OUT WHILE I WAS DRIVING. JUST 5000 MILES OVER THE WARRANTY. $4000 TO FIX IT. WE JUST HAD IT IN DECEMBER AND PAID $1500 TO FIX THE VEHICLE INCLUDING UPDATING THE TRANSMISSION. THIS IS RIDICULOUS THAT SUCH A NEW VEHICLE HAS THIS MANY BREAK DOWNS. MY DODGE CARAVAN HAS 158000 MILES AND NO MAJOR PROBLEMS.

AIR BAG LIGHT HAS COME ON AND WON'T GO OFF. REAR PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR IS LOCKED DOWN AND CANNOT BE OPENED

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS USING THE KEYLESS ENTRY, THE VEHICLE'S DOORS AND LIFTGATE FAILED TO OPEN AND CLOSE. ADDITIONALLY, THE MANUAL BUTTON HAD TO BE PUSHED FOUR TIMES BEFORE THE DOORS OPENED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO NORMANDIN CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM FIAT (900 CAPITOL EXPRESSWAY AUTO MALL, SAN JOSE, CA 95136, (408) 266-9500) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE DOOR HANDLES NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 586519, BUT NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000.

THE PASSENGER ELECTRIC DOOR LOCKS FAILED IN THE UNLOCKED POSITION. WE WE'RE UNABLE TO LOCK THE DOOR. DEALER SUGGESTED TO NOTE THIS SAFETY RELATED ISSUE TO ANTSY

DRIVER'S SIDE SLIDING DOOR WILL NOT UNLOCK OR OPEN EITHER WITH THE REMOTE, PUSH BUTTON OR MANUALLY. IF AN ACCIDENT DISABLED THE PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR, OCCUPANTS IN THE REAR WOULD BE TRAPPED INSIDE.

THE CHRYSLER BLIND SPOT DETECTION IS FAULTY ON MARCH 30 IT BEGAN BEEPING RANDOMLY WITH MESSAGE 'BLIND SPOT DETECTION UNAVAILABLE' THIS CONTINUED FOR THE NEXT TWO WEEKS. IT WAS RANDOMLY AND PERSISTENT WHEN DRIVING. THE BEEPING WAS A CONSTANT DISTRACTION TO MY DRIVING. IT WAS A SAFETY CONCERN. IN THE THIRD WEEK THE MESSAGE WHEN THE BEEPING WAS 'SERVICE BLIND SPOT DETECTION' WE TOOK THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE AT THAT POINT. IT WAS A COST OF $1400.00. THIS IS AN ELECTRIC SHORT IN THE VEHICLE VERY NEAR THE GAS TANK. IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN. AS I RESEARCHED THE ISSUE I WAS SURPRISED THAT THEIR IS DOCUMENTATION BACK TO 2012 THAT IS READILY AVAILABLE OF THIS ISSUE.

SLIDING DOOR LOCKING MECHANISM IS JAMMED AND WILL NOT UNLOCK. DOOR IS STUCK SHUT. SEEMS TO BE AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE BUT WILL NOT RESET BY REMOVING THE FUSE AND REINSTALLING. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT - IF IT WERE THE ONLY DOOR WE COULD GET OUT. THE VAN IS UNDER AN EXTENDED WARRANTY AND WE PLAN TO HAVE IT FIXED, BUT IT IS NOT THE FIRST TIME IT HAS HAPPENED - THE OTHER TIMES, IT JUST CORRECTED ITSELF AND RESET. THE OTHER SLIDING DOOR ALSO RANDOMLY WON'T SHUT BECAUSE THE LOCKING MECHANISM IS STUCK AND WE HAVE WORK IT INTO PLACE. THE DEALERSHIP HAS ALREADY LOOKED AT THAT DOOR ONCE AND SAYS THERE DOESN'T APPEAR TO BE ANYTHING WRONG. OF COURSE, THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY AND DOESN'T MATTER WHETHER IT IS ON OR OFF. THERE IS REALLY NOTHING I CAN UPLOAD OTHER THAN A PICTURE OF THE SHUT DOOR AND THAT IT IS LOCKED. I COULD SEND A VIDEO, BUT THE FILE WOULD BE TOO LARGE.

DROVE CAR TO WORK. TOOK KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION, BUT VAN CONTINUED TO RUN. DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY BUT VAN'S ENGINE CONTINUED TO RUN. DROVE IT TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS A WIN MODULE ISSUE. CURRENTLY AT ANOTHER CHRYSLER DEALER WAITING FOR REPAIR. THIS ISSUE COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN A SAFETY ISSUE. IF THE WIN MODULE HAD BROKEN IN THE 'OFF' POSITION ON A BUSY ROAD INSTEAD OF IN THE "ON" POSITION.

TRIED CALLING FCA IN MICHIGAN AND WAS TOLD THE LEFT HEAD ISSIUE HAD BEEN FIXED WITH MY MODEL YEAR EVEN THOUGH TECH HAS HAD EVERY P0302 CODE 3.6L ENGINE REQUIRING A NEW HEAD, SAME AS PREVIOUS RECAL. MY VAN HAS 73,000 MILES AND I PURCHASED IT USED FROM HERTZ RETAL CAR. FCA SAID THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING AT THIS TIME UNLESS I MET 3 OUT OF 5 QUESTIONS ABOUT MY VAN AND ME. I MET ONLY ONE AND THAT WAS A LOYAL CUSOMER. NO COVERERAGE.

DEALERSHIP AND OTHER REPAIR BUSINESS SAY NO WARRANTY COVERAGE. PRICE TO FIX IS EITHER $1,371 OR $1,495. I'M SEEING LOTS OF OTHER OWNERS COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS SAFETY ISSUE AND BEING CHARGED THIS GROSS AMOUNT OF MONEY. LIVES ARE AT RISK.

I HAVE A 2016 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY CHRYSLER. AS I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE GOING ABOUT 50MPH, ON SEPT. 3, 2018, ON THE FEEDER ROAD ALONGSIDE THE FREEWAY, MY VAN STARTED TO SLOW DOWN AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THERE WAS A LOUD WHINING NOISE COMING FROM THE VAN AND IT WOULD NOT SPEED UP WHEN I WOULD PRESS THE GAS. I WAS ABLE TO TURN ON TO THE STREET OF MY RESIDENCE BECAUSE I WAS NOT FAR. I HAD TO PUT ON MY HAZARD LIGHTS TO MAKE IT HOME ONLY GOING ABOUT 3-5MPH. THIS WAS VERY SCARY FOR ME BECAUSE MY SON WAS IN THE CAR AND OTHER CARS WERE ALMOST ABOUT TO HIT ME FROM BEHIND. I ONLY HAVE 69044 MILES ON THE VAN AND I MAINTAIN MY ROUTINE MAINTENANCE ON THE VAN THROUGH THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED IT FROM. THE TECH SAID THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS THIRSTY FOR FLUID IN THE GEARS AND IT HAD BURNED UP ON THE INSIDE. HE SAID THAT THERE WAS NO TRAUMA OR DAMAGE TO THE TRANSMISSION AND NO LEAK FOUND. MY VAN SHOULD'VE BEEN ADDED TO THE RECALL LIST BECAUSE IT WAS MANUFACTURED IN NOVEMBER 2015 WHICH FALLS IN THE TIME FRAME AS THE VANS THAT MADE THE RECALL LIST AND MY COMPLAINT IS IDENTICAL TO THE RECALL (NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER:16V461000)ISSUED ON JUNE 24, 2016. I TOOK VERY GOOD CARE OF MY VAN AND MADE SURE ALL MAINTENANCE SCHEDULES WERE KEPT. THIS IS A 3700.00 PROBLEM THAT I DO NOT HAVE MONEY TO PAY. THIS IS NOT FROM NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR NOR IS IT FROM NEGLECT. THIS IS A RESULT OF A MANUFACTURING DEFECT OR ERROR. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS CONCERN AS I KNOW I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM.

THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THE AIR CONDITIONING HAS FAILED. THE FIRST TIME NOTHING WAS FOUND. THEY PUT IN "FREON". THE SECOND TIME THEY FOUND THAT IT WAS THE EVAPORATOR LEAKING.. WE ARE WAITING TO TAKE IT ON FOR THREE TIME. THE DEALERSHIPS HAVEN'T BEEN ALL THAT ACCOMMODATING. BEING WITHOUT AC IN FLORIDA IS A REAL BUMMER.

THE HILL HOLDER BRAKE FEATURE DISENGAGES WHEN THE DRIVER DOOR IS OPENED. THE CAR WAS ON AN INCLINE FACING UP AT A STAND STILL. DO NOT KNOW IF THE SAME WILL HAPPEN IN THE REAR SEAT WHERE CHILDREN MAY JUMP OUT THINKING THE CAR IS STOPPED AND SECURE.

THE LEFT PASSENGER DOOR SLIDE WILL NOT OPEN, UNLOCK OR OPEN FROM OUTSIDE, INSIDE OR BY THE BUTTONS.

THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING AND CAUSING UNEXPECTED DECELERATION. (LOUD WHINING NOISE FROM THE TRANS MODULE AREA. MY WIFE AND KIDS WERE IN TRAFFIC ON THE WAY TO SCHOOL WHEN THE VEHICLE/VAN LOST POWER AND HIGH REVVED THE ENGINE DUE TO ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION. SHE WAS ABLE TO COAST OFF THE HIGHWAY INTO A PARKING LOT TO AVOID COLLISION. IT APPEARS THERE ARE RECALLS DUE TO BAD HYDRAULIC PUMP IN TRANS BUT THE SOMEHOW MY VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED ACCORDING TO THE DEALER. (RECALL S44/NHTSA 16V-461) I HAVE NO WAY OF VALIDATING THE PRODUCTION DATE OF MY VEHICLE. PLEASE COMPILE AND SEE IF OTHER CONSUMERS HAVE BEEN EXPOSED TO THIS HAZARD. PERHAPS THE RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXTENDED TO INCLUDE ADDITIONAL MAKE DATES.

AFTER I SHUT IT OFF, THE GAS PEDDLE DID RELEASE AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT BACK TO OUR RESIDENCE. I HAVE SINCE NOT PUT THE GAS PEDDLE TO THE FLOOR AS THIS HAD HAPPENED TWICE BEFORE. I HAVE NOT CONTACTED THE LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER, DOUGLAS CHRYSLER IN VENICE ON THIS ISSUE BUT I PLAN ON TALKING TO THE SERVICE ADVISOR, (XXXX) THANK YOU PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TT CONSUMER STATED THAT THE GAS PEDAL STUCK, SERVICE MANAGER, THROTTLE BODY APART AND CLEANED OUT CARBON.

TAKATA RECALL: I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2016 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY LESS THEN A YEAR AND A HALF AGO. I HAVE HAD 2 MAJOR PARTS BREAK IN MY REAR END. THE FIRST ONE WAS THE CONTROL ARM AND THE SECOND ONE WAS THE AXLE BEAM WHICH NEITHER ONE ARE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I WAS DRIVING WHEN BOTH OF THEM WENT OUT!

THIS AXLE BEAM BROKE WHILE I HAD MY 2 YOUNG CHILDREN WHICH ARE 5 AND 3 IN THE VAN WHILE GOING AROUND A CURVE AT 20MPH. I'M THANKFUL THAT I WAS ABLE TO CONTROL MY VEHICLE AND WE WEREN'T IN BAD WEATHER. THE TECHNICIAN ALSO INFORMED ME I HAVE AN OIL LEAK ON THE TOP OF MY MOTOR WHICH IS COVERED, BUT I HAVE TO PAY 100.00 FOR THEM TO FIX. WITH THAT BEING SAID I'M HIGHLY DISGUSTED WITH CHRYSLER AND WILL NOT PURCHASE ANYTHING FROM THEM AGAIN!
