general problems of the 2015 Chrysler Town & Country - part 2

The lane detection system has corroded and no longer functions. I turned the system off but now a electrical short is being caused by the problem. This short causes the wipers to engage, the warning lights (multiple) to go off on the dash, and the speedometer no longer functions. The car has fewer than 70,000 miles.

My car began shaking with acceleration and then with idle. Upon an electrical diagnostic code it was reported a cylinder 4 issue. My van has less than 67000 miles.

Seatbelt alarm for drivers seat keeps going off when driving even though it's securely on. Other times a bell dings once to indicate something else but nothing comes up on dashboard indicating what it is. This happens when the car is in motion and not in motion & still in park also. This is becoming more frequent. Bringing it in.

The van started having electrical issues while driving. All electrical items would turn off, such as a/c, dash lights, windows would not work, radio, but windshield wipers turn on. May stop independently or after you turn van off and back on. Once happened while I was driving, all the same symptoms I listed. Lasted about 5 minutes then stopped. Had the tipm changed by the dealer, but the problem happened after it was changed.

Blind spot detection sensor issues. Dashboard error message states "service blind spot system". The issue is the blind spot warning signal constantly comes on with chime although their are no vehicles around the van. Issue occurs when stationary, in motion no matter where driveway, city street or highway.

While driving at highway speeds at night complete electrical shut down, engine must be restarted. This is happening sporadically ,.

Blind spot monitor - sensor failure after only 2. 5 years - both blind spot sensors have failed - due to the position Chrysler have located them and the lack of protection provided in that location. Widespread problem on all the Chrysler range which the company refuses to accept responsibility for. Location means sensors get severely corroded in a short period of time leading to failure of this safety feature. Sensors simply stopped working about 8 weeks ago. Spoke to Chrysler who insist this is not a design flaw but clearly it is.

When using the vehicle push button start, it sometimes does not start when the key fob is in the vehicle. The engine stopped running on one occasion while my spouse was driving and she felt like she did not have any steering. My spouse feels that the key fob is losing connection to the vehicle. The engine stopped running on a city street while the vehicle was in motion. We took it to the Chrysler dealership in manhattan, KS and they could not find anything wrong with the vehicle. Their were no codes in the vehicle to indicate anything had occurred.

Cluster control panel went out then lights flashed on and multiple times with odometer and tachometer reading 00's while driving the vehicle. The center navigation system went out while the heating and air conditioner lights rolled up and down as it was being driven and heat seating lights were flashing as well.

The sliding electrical/mechanical passenger door does not close entirely and continually retries to re-close. I observe over the years that there must be a sensor or other mechanical/electrical detection of door "closure" that is not working correctly off and on for a least 4 years. The action we've taken to is to manually force the door closed as the electrical-mechanical closure detection cannot always sense door closure correctly. Occasionally the condition can occur while driving causing fear the door will open or not be locked exposing passengers to potential serious injury hazard while in motion. The condition has not improved despite efforts to clean, clear, oil parts to try and remediate the item. Dealer is not making any recommendations for remediation on this defect to this point. These cases first noticed in 2018, and has continued off and to the present. I was made aware of potential class action on the issue from another fca auto owner and raising this item for purposes of lending my experience to the number of customers affected by this sliding door electrical/mechanical issue.

When vehicle is parked and the auto-door lock system is activated by remote and/or manual door lock activation, the locks will activate and the doors will appear to be locked; however, when you pull on the door handles to check the lock, the locks will activate and re-open. This event will occur after a few seconds, minutes, hours, or even over night. In other words, even after you activate the auto-door locks, you can walk up to the car at any time, pull on the door handles, and the car will unlock allowing you to open the doors.

I was able to turn my van off and remove the the key from the ignition, thinking it was in park. The automatic transmission was still in drive, however, and upon my exit, the van rolled out of my parking space into a tree causing $6000 worth of damage. It was later discovered that the key can also be removed while the van is in drive and the engine running while the van is moving. The Chrysler dealership diagnosed a faulty ignition, and is not offering any type of prorated warranty, even though the van is only 2000 miles out of warranty. What is most alarming to me is that there is no warning chime or lamp when the key is removed and the transmission is in drive. My daughter's Dodge will not allow the key to be removed when not in park, and any attempt to do so results in an audible warning and message on the display.

On November 25 at 4:30pm, I was driving on route 80 going westbound approaching exits 27 a and b in northern new jersey. I was planning to use exit 26 and gently accelerated my town and country van in order to pass a vehicle to my right and transition to the right lane in order to exit. After passing the vehicle, I removed my foot from the gas pedal and my car unexpectedly continued to accelerate. I immediately applied the brake somewhat forcefully in order to stop the acceleration. Upon removing my foot from the brake, the car again accelerated under its own power. I quickly scanned the dashboard to see if I was accidentally triggering a function such as cruise control. I noticed a red lightning bolt symbol illuminated, which indicates a malfunction with the electronic throttle control. I was able to apply the brake forcefully enough to use the exit ramp. As I approached the end of the exit ramp the car seemed to cease its attempt to accelerate and I was able to pull into a nearby gas station, park the vehicle, and turn it off. After restarting the vehicle the warning symbol was no longer present and the car seemed to be operating normally. I immediately took the vehicle to the johnson Dodge dealership where it was purchased. They accepted the vehicle for diagnostic testing but were not able to find any computer or electrical malfunction. They instructed me to pick up the vehicle the next morning and the service staff member dennis could not provide any information about the malfunction and theorized that my rubber floor mats must have been stuck on the gas pedal during the incident. No other explanation or official paperwork was provided by the dealership. This incident was also reported to an official Chrysler customer service representative (erin; employee #ea704). As of this time, a replacement vehicle has been requested.
