2011 Chrysler Town AND Country other reported problems

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

Over 2 yrs now the electrical has been haywire. In driveway the interior lights on dash lights come on and and doors lock and unlock. Driving down road on dash tells you that must put car in park to engage. Lift gate ajar. Heater turns on and off full blast front and back fans. Side doors do not work/ or work when they want to work. Battery brand new gets drained and needs to be charged 1 every month. Had alternator changed. Still does the same thing. I call this my possessed van. At my wits end. Spent much money trying to find out problem unable to locate. Changed fuses did not help. This is my second town and country. I never had a problem with my first one which was a much older model that is why I got another one. Now I am rethinking about getting another town and country. Who is going to help with all of these customer complaints with electrical issues. I am a disabled person who needs my vehicle for appointments. I cannot get stranded or break down or have a vehicle fire. I am frustrated by this company for not caring for their customers needs.

Unknown what part is at fault. The automatic sliding doors will open fully and then immediately close. The feature that is supposed to make the doors stop when they detect something does not activate. An adult's full body weight is needed to press on the door to make it stop closing. Faulty on both driver and passenger sides. Starts to happen intermittently and then constantly. Dealership claims it is a "software" issue and not applicable for bumper-to-bumper warranty. I also contacted the mopar warranty department and they also claim it is not a covered issue even though there is a serious safety risk involved. A quick google search reveals it is a common problem.

The ABS light, Traction light, and Brake light all come on and simultaneously. I've been told that the ABS Module is bad and needs to be replaced. The fact that the module needs to be replaced concerns me since there are prior recalls for ABS Module with other Dodge, Ram, and Chrsyler makes and models.

CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY AND DODGE MINIVAN HAVE AN ACTUATOR THAT LOCKS AND UNLOCKS THE REAR SLIDING DOORS. THE SAME PART IS USED FOR BOTH SIDES, IT JUST NEEDS AN ARM ON IT DEPENDING ON THE SIDE. THE DEFECT IS THAT WHEN THESE ACTUATORS GO OUT, IT WILL EITHER NOT ALLOW THE DOOR TO LOCK, OR PERMANENTLY LOCKE THE DOOR AT ANY TIME AND REMAIN LOCKED UNTIL IT IS FIXED. **IF THERE IS AN EMERGENCY AND THE ACTUATOR BROKEN IN THE LOCKED POSITION THE DOOR WILL NOT OPEN OR OPERATE (INSIDE OR OUTSIDE). IT IS IMPOSSIBLE POSSIBLE TO OPEN THE DOOR IN ANYWAY UNLESS TAKING OFF THE INSIDE PANEL AND GETTING INSIDE TO THE LOCK MECHANISM. IF THE DOOR IS IN THE UNLOCKED POSITION AND YOU WERE UNAWARE THAT THE ACTUATOR IS BROKEN IN THE UNLOCKED POSITION AND YOU THINK IT'S LOCKED AND YOU LEAVE YOUR CHILD IN THERE TO RUN INTO THE HOUSE SOMEBODY COULD OPEN THE DOOR AND STEAL ANYTHING OUT OF YOUR CAR INCLUEDING A CHILD. WHEN THE ACTUATOR BRAKES IN THE UNLOCK POSITION YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IT IS BROKEN. HOWEVER WHEN IT BREAKS IN THE LOCK POSITION IT IS IMMEDIATE AND WITHOUT WARNING AS WELL. WHEN I FOUND OUT THAT MY DOOR WAS LOCKED ON THE DRIVERS SIDE WAS WHEN I WENT TO GET MY DOG OUT OF MY BACK SEAT AND IT WAS BROKEN.I LOOKED THIS ISSUE UP ON THE INTERNET AND THAT'S WHAT I WAS TOLD TO CHECK BOTH DOORS AND FOUND MY MY PASSENGER SIDE WAS PERMANENTLY UNLOCKED.

THE VAN HAS DRAINED A NEW BATTERY IN TWO DAYS. DEALERSHIP CLAIMS THEY CAN'T FIND THE PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH THERE IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THEIR ROOM'S FROM THIS MODEL YEAR.

MY CAR WILL NOT START AND IT IS BECAUSE THE TIPM HAS STOPPED WORKING ON THE CAR. I HAVE ANOTHER BUDDY WITH A 2010 T&C AND THE SAME THING IS GOING ON.

TO BEGIN WITH VEHICLE WOULD START AFTER, SOMETIMES UNTIL AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPS. IT ALSO STOPPED WHILE DRIVING, JUST WENT DEAD AND LOCKED UP THE WHOLE STEERING WHEEL, WITH THE VEHICLE STILL ROLLING. WAS JUST LUCKY TO GET OFF THE ROADWAY WITH NO ACCIDENT. PROGRESSIVELY IT GOT WORSE, AND WOULDN'T EVEN START AT ALL. TOOK TO REPUTABLE REPAIR SHOP, WHO SAID WAS A RECALL ISSUE AND THEY WEREN'T ABLE TO ORDER THE PART FOR REPAIR, BECAUSE OF RECALL. INFORMED HAD TO GO TO DEALER FOR REPAIR. DEALER SAID THIS PARTICULAR VIN WAS NOT ON RECALL ALTHOUGH ISSUE HAD BEEN IDENTIFIED AS RECALL ISSUE. MEANWHILE, CHARGED ME $1275.83 FOR REPAIR LISTING "CAUSE - NO POWER AT FUEL PUMP CHECK NO POWER FUSE M25, FUSE M25 CONTROLLED BY INTERNAL RELAY IN TPIM". FUSE M25 NEEDS TPIM WAS $207.81. THEN "TIPM KIT TIPM" WAS $977.00. PLUS LABOR AND TAX. PROBLEM - BOTH INDICATED THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE HAD SAME ISSUES AND WERE ON RECALL. IT IS REASONABLE TO EXPECT THAT MY VEHICLE SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED UNDER RECALL. PLEASE HELP ME RECOVER ON THIS ISSUE.

BEFORE THAT, MY PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR STARTED MAKING BUZZING SOUNDS WHEN YOU HIT THE UNLOCK BUTTON, THIS HAPPENS WHENEVER YOU HIT THE UNLOCK BUTTON.

WE HAVE HAD NUMEROUS TIME WHEN THE VAN WILL NOT START. THE ENGINE SOUNDS LIKE IT IS TRYING TO TURN OVER BUT NOTHING HAPPENS AND THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. AFTER NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS THE VAN STARTS. WHEN IT HAS BEEN TAKEN IN TO THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP THEY ARE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM DUE TO THE CODE BEING RESOLVED. MORE IMPORTANTLY THE VAN STALLED WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. LIGHTS, RADIO, FANS ALL WORKED BUT THE ENGINE JUST SHUT OFF. CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP STATED THEY COULDN'T FIND THE ISSUE AND PUT A NEW BATTERY IN. AFTER PICKING UP THE VEHICLE IS STALLED AGAIN GOING 30 MPH IN TOWN. AGAIN VAN WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND AGAIN WAS TOLD THE CODES WERE RESOLVED SO THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG. THEY STATE THAT THEY SEE THERE ARE A LOT OF ELECTRICAL CODES BUT THAT THEY ARE UNABLE TO READ THEM BECAUSE THEY HAVE BEEN RESOLVED. VEHICLE HAS 144000 MILES ON IT AND HAS REGULAR MAINTENANCE DONE.

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

MY WIFE, 4 CHILDREN AND I WERE DRIVING HOME FROM CHURCH WEDNESDAY NIGHT AT APPX. 9:45 P.M WHEN THIS VEHICLE SHUT COMPLETELY DOWN. THE ENGINE QUITS, THE STEERING WAS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE, THE BREAKS WERE BARELY WORKING AT ALL, AND EVERY SINGLE LIGHT WENT DARK FROM THE DASH TO THE EXTERIOR LIGHTS ON A ROAD THAT WAS WINDING AND PITCH BLACK. WE WERE DRIVING AS USUAL AROUND 55-60 MPH GOING DOWN THIS ROAD. CHRYSLER TREATS IT AS THOUGH IT IS MY RESPONSIBILITY AND NO MORE THAN A FAULTY "AIRE" CONTROL. WHEN IT THREATENS THE LIVES OF MY WIFE AND CHILDREN, THIS IS FAR MORE THAN A TECHNICAL ISSUE OR A WORN OUT PART. WE COULD HAVE ALL BEEN KILLED OR SERIOUSLY INJURED. LOOKING ONLINE THERE ARE SEVERAL TOWN & COUNTRY MINIVANS OF DIFFERENT YEARS HAVING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE.

IN MOTION ON A CITY FREEWAY AROUND 7:00 PM -- THE VEHICLE WITHOUT WARNING COMPLETELY "SHUT DOWN" WHILE DRIVING IT ON A LOCAL FREEWAY. THE VEHICLE HAD NO POWER, LIGHTS, ETC. I HAD TO IMMEDIATELY STEER IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THERE WAS NO ROAD SHOULDER TO PULL OUT OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. IT WAS NOT POSSIBLE TO USE THE HAZARD FLASHER TO WARN ONCOMING DRIVERS. THE VEHICLE HAD NO LIGHTS. THE BACK HATCH/TAIL GATE WOULD NOT OPEN TO USE AS A VISUAL SIGNAL TO OTHER DRIVERS. IT WAS A POTENTIALLY VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. THANKFULLY A LARGE WRECKER PULLED UP BEHIND THE VEHICLE TO PREVENT US FROM BEING HIT AS WE COULD NOT BE READILY SEEN. I USED MY CELL PHONE FLASHLIGHT TO SIGNAL ONCOMING TRAFFIC OF OUR LOCATION.
