general problems of the 2011 Chrysler Town & Country

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.

The van has a problem accelerating and also seems to stall while driving on the expressway before jumping quickly into acceleration there was a bad storm in buffalo that I believe contributed to the problems of the Chrysler van.

Tl- the contact owned a 2011 Chrysler Town & Country. The contact stated while driver 10 mph, when he saw smoke exiting the hood of the vehicle. The contact stated he heard an abnormal noise. The contact stated no warning light were illuminated. The contact was able to park the vehicle on the side and exit vehicle to open the hood and saw fire located where the alternator. The contact stated he was able to extinguish the flame with a bottle of water. Police and fire department were not called not filed a report. The vehicle was towed to local dealer dick poe Chrysler Jeep located at 6501 montana Ave, el paso, TX 79925, 915) 778-9331, where it was diagnosed with needing alternator and started to be replaced. The vehicle has not been repaired as of yet. The manufacturer has been informed of failure. The failure mileage was 128,000. Dp.

My tipm is failing slowly. My starter is pulling way to many amps when starting. I've changed it twice. My fuel relay has failed. A lot of the times when I start my car I have an icon for my abs sensor come on and the only way to get it off is to pull over and restart my car. When the light is on on my dash. My car won't drive over 60mph and my rpms will run high and when you let off the gas while it's doing this it will take you almost to a stop within seconds. My check engine light never goes off. And no matter how many times it gets tested and reset it comes back within hours. So my auto start never works. Sometimes when I start my car I can't get my seatbelt alarm to stop singing so I have to pull over and restart. It all leads back to this tipm (electronics board below the fuse box). I've had it priced at 1300$ to fix it. But turns out it's the most common issue with this year of this van. Please help!.

Tl the contact owns a 2011 Chrysler town and country. On several occasions, while driving, the vehicle independently accelerated from 30 mph to approximately 65 mph without warning. Additionally, while the vehicle was stopped at a traffic light, the rpms revved independently. The vehicle was taken to tubbs brothers Ford Chrysler Dodge Jeep ram (located at 959 sanilac rd, sandusky, mi 48471, (810) 648-0000) to be diagnosed, but the mechanic was unable to retrieve a fault code or duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 136,000.

~tl the contact owns a 2011 Chrysler town and country. The contact received a recall letter in 2012 and the vehicle was repaired per an unknown recall. After the repair, the contact attempted to start the vehicle, but the ignition would not turn over. After a few moments, the vehicle was able to be restarted. While driving 55 mph, the vehicle slowed down and the rpms went to zero. Suddenly, the vehicle accelerated independently and then decelerated without depressing the brake pedal. The check engine indicator illuminated prior to the failure. The vehicle was taken to sears auto center where it was diagnosed that the power steering module needed to be replaced. The contact was advised to take the vehicle to a Chrysler dealer. The failure mileage was 79,949.

Tipm, I have had tons of problems with my van since I purchased. There is no telling how much I have spent of the years on repairs. Come to find out most of my repairs were not necessary. They all came from the faulty tipm. I can't believe this has not been recalled. The issue it causes is unbelievable. The stress and inconvenience this has caused me and my family is more than I could ever imagine. I'm out thousands of dollars on repair bills and now I find out that it will be another $1,300 to fix this. I have been having issues for years!!! when I would take it in they would treat the symptoms not the problem which I'm just finding out is the tipm. If this would have been properly diagnosed while under warranty than no big deal, but of course it was not. I have been driving and all of a sudden by brakes don't work, I turn on the van start to drive and it won't shift I have to pull over and turn off the van then restart it. Sometimes it wont start just sits there like it wants to start. The fuel pump is now constantly running. I'm sure that's not safe at all. The engine hours are twice what the mileage says it should be. Hum guess that's cause my engine is running all the time. That would be because the tipm is flawed.

The contact owns a 2011 Chrysler town and country. While driving 45 mph, there was an abnormal pulsation in the steering. The contact also stated that there was an abnormal noise emitting from the front and rear braking system. The contact stated that the front and rear brakes were serviced five to six times; however, the failure recurred. The contact also stated that the vehicle independently accelerated from a traffic light. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failures. The approximate failure mileage was 69,000.

I have a 2011 Chrysler Town & Country van with adjustable pedals. Per the manual ¿the pedals cannot be adjusted when the vehicle is in reverse or when the electronic speed control system (escs) is on¿¿ implying some type of interaction between the two systems. From time to time the escs will not come on or will stop responding to inputs, including not disengaging the escs when the cancel button is pushed (though it will disengage by depressing the brake pedal). However, if I toggle the adjustable pedal switch (in any direction) the escs immediately becomes responsive again. There seems to be some type of interaction between the adjustable pedal switch and the escs causing this problem. I¿ve been to the dealer with no assistance. Due to the escs intermittently not disengaging via the cancel button this can be a serious safety issue.

The contact owns a 2011 Chrysler town and country. While stopped at a traffic light, the contact's vehicle accelerated without warning and crashed into the rear of another vehicle. The air bags failed to deploy. A police report was filed. There were no injuries. The vehicle was towed to a body shop and repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 57,398.

As we were driving at about 30 mph the van started to accelerate on its own. It revved up to 70 mph then to 50 then to 20 then back up to 70. We couldn't control the speed with gas pedal or the brake pedal. We were just gliding. I told my wife to put it into nuetral and tap on brake pedal till we finally slowed down. We then turned van off and let it sit. We then called are mechanics as we just had a transmission flush done. Of course they found nothing wrong with it because it wasn't doing it for them. We trust our mechanics as we have been using them for years now on all our vehicles and have never had a problem until this van. The next day we are sitting at a light and the van is jumping like it wants to go and a loud clunk noise happens like its shifting gears. Then the following morning my wife is getting in van to take kids to school and turns on van and it turns itself off. Our mechanics had this van for 2 days and have drove it with there computers hooked up to it and no red flags. The main mechanic says it's probably the computer. After further research on this van I now have found this is a very common problem with this make,model,year. Yet nothing has been done to resolve it. This is a major safety issue that apparently Chrysler is aware of but would rather make $1200 off consumers then fix on there own. Clearly my safety and my families safety isn't a concern for them. We drive almost an hour on the highway every other week. Now I have to be worried this van won't drive my family into another vehicle because its taking over and we have no way of stopping it.

Tl- the contact owns a 2011 Chrysler town and country. The contact stated that while the brakes were depressed, the engine rpm's rapidly increased and exhibited a loud reving sound. The failure occurred once. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 29,500. Jo.

I have a 2011 Chrysler town and country. As of today I have had the vehicle under 3 years and have had to replace the alternator 3 times, 3 new batteries, the master cylinder and break booster was replaced, multiple sensors, my abs and traction control never functions correctly. This is all because of the tipm that is malfunctioning and you cant get one of these because they are back ordered. And when you call the dealer ship or Chrysler they tell you there is nothing they can do.

The contact owns a 2011 Chrysler town and country. The contact was driving 45 mph when the vehicle abnormally accelerated to 70 mph. The vehicle started to decelerate but abnormally accelerated again until the brake was depressed and by the contact. The steering wheel also started to shake and bounce as the vehicle was merged onto the shoulder. The contact exited the vehicle and discovered that the front passenger side tire was on fire. The fire was extinguished and the police were notified. The vehicle was towed to the dealer who ran a diagnostic test but could not determine the cause of the failure. The dealer replaced the brake pads and the tire. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 15,000.
