  The battery and check engine lights are constantly on despite a new battery, new battery cable, and new alternator. The cruise control will randomly stop working. Abs and vehicle stability lights will go on and off. And at times headlights, dash, and radio screen will flicker and lose power making it impossible to see or know what the car is doing. Mechanic has looked at and repaired the car 3 different times and there is nothing identifiably wrong. The car is now unsafe to drive not knowing when the dash will go out, speed will reduce, or lights turn off. It is a hazard to the driver and others on the road.

  2015 Chrysler Town and Country lost propulsion power while driving, endangering 2 occupants and surrounding drivers. While driving on a residential road, vehicle came to a stop at intersection. Upon attempting to accelerate from stop and applying gas, vehicle jolted and would not accelerate past 5 miles an hour with transmission engaging and disengaging while shifter was in drive. Vehicle's transmission would intermittently engage and disengage for 1/2 mile with no warning lights or error messages. Vehicle idled as normal, but vehicle would not engage transmission properly when shifter set to "Drive" position. Vehicle was then parked in driveway off of the road.

  The engine developed a ticking noise. From what I have found, there are defective rocker arms in the engine. Eventually, they will fail and cause complete engine failure which can occur at any time, even when driving at high speeds. This seems to be a serious safety concern. There is a class action lawsuit working its way through the courts, but, there should be a safety recall. thanks [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

  Noticed the vehicle was leaking fluid. The vehicle temperature GAUGE was also running HOT. Went to a garage on 9 18 2024 and was told the 2 transmission hose lines were leaking and needed replacing. Was a significant leak. Was not able to use the vehicle due to HOT temperature gauge and only able to drive the vehicle a short distance and leaking fluids. Had to have both transmission hoses replaced at about 84500 miles. (SEE DIFFERENT complaint, that 1 - 2 months later, on 12 5 2024 had to go to a garage and have the OIL FILTER HOUSING replaced due to another leak and replace all related fluids).

• 12/11/2024· ENGINE

  Went to garage for vehicle to pass routine inspection. However, the OIL FILTER HOUSING was leaking quite a bit. Due to the size of the leak, I had to pay to replace the oil filter housing and the related fluids. This was about a 3 hours repair. I could not drive the vehicle until the part was replaced. This part failing and leaking at about 85,800 miles seems to have been premature. The garage staff told me the vehicle could not pass inspection until the part was replaced. It seems as if the part has had issues and the newer components may be more durable.

• 12/10/2022· ENGINE

  My van has a leak at the valve seat in cylinder 1 on the intake side. It has been inspected my a mechanic and available for anyone else to look at it. My car is not old and low mileage. The mechanic said he had someone recently in with the same problem on the 3.6L engine, same year, same low mileage. This causes a problem because the combustion is not properly working in the engine so it has a health hazard for everyone because it has a larger and worse carbon footprint because the engine is not working/functioning properly how the car manufacturers intended it to be. I have searched forums and have found multiple people having the same problem with the cylinders. I believe the problem to be with the engine head because the mechanic said when he fixed the other engine he had to get the head off and get it re-machined. Also people are having the misfire in different cylinder. No warning lights were on before the issue happened.

  While driving the transmission started to make a loud whistling sound and would not change gears appropriately. At 5-6 thousand RPMs the vehicle would jam into the appreciate gear and cause the car to abruptly lurch forward and shudder. Upon examination of the transmission fluid, it was black and smelled burnt, and contained bits of metal. No previous OBD codes or engine lights identified any issues. After driving an additional 5 miles the vehicle would not accelerate or engage into drive (any gear) or reverse.

  Last month when driving my van started to stall when driving came to a stop at a light and the engine jerked, light turned green started to drive and it wouldn't go over 30 then all of a sudden it speeded up and the started making a weird sound pulled, off into a parking lot wasn't able to get it all the way in a parking spot. Called to have it towed. The transmission blew and it only has 65,000 miles. That cost me alot to get a transmission. Now the seatbelt on drivers side will not lock into place. Which I don't know what to do with that because you have to wear a seatbelt. When I bought this van brand new I had a lot of electrical issues kept taking it to the dealer they could never find anything. Lights would dim when driving, they was suppose to hook a machine up to it and it would register what was going on, this was requested by Chrysler when I couldn't get anywhere with the dealer ship. Chrysler set it up I go to the dealer and they don't have that equipment so they said they couldn't do anything, called Chrysler back told them was suppose to hear from someone never did. I feel this van is a death trap. The side doors act like they don't want to close at times. I have kept up on regular maintenance on the van. I just feel that when you pay $30,000.00 for a vehicle and take care of it things should last longer. I know it's 7 years old but low mileage and taken care of.

  Several times over the past few weeks the van has just shut off while driving. This has happened at low speeds and at city driving speeds. The engine just completely shuts off and the van loses power brakes/steering/acceleration with no warning, no rough running, no sounds, and no check engine light. The mechanic cannot find anything wrong with it but the problem continues at random intervals. This is potentially very dangerous and even worse is that there is no evident problem.

  My Vehicle is no even at 100,000 and there is a ticking noise, I was told it is the rocker arm and lifter, I was told that this is a constant issue with Chryslers and that this happens constantly. I fell like since i am right outside of the warranty by a few months that this should be covered considering i heard a tick before my warranty was up and was never told that is what it was and every time i took it everyone just brushed it off. This is a safely hazard because i was told i have to wait until this gets really bad before anyone can do anything about it cause no one know which rocker arm is messing up. My car can stop or back fire at any point and all I'm being told is i have to wait until it mess up all the way which is not a good thing. It can stop at any point and someone could run right into me. Yes it was inspected by 2 car places, as well as the warranty department for them to tell me this would be covered but cant be until i get it fixed. There are no check engine lights to show this is a issue and i was told that is really odd that they are no signal lights to show there is an issue with the engine. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!
