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

Air conditioning blowing hot air. Defective parts are located in rear on drivers side. Cost to repair from $1 -4800.

Sound of listers.

While driving on the freeway, the engine completely shut off. I lost power steering, power and all electrical power. I stopped then it turned on fine with no issues. Not reproduced. No prior messages or symptoms.

Faulty tipm, resulting in engine to stop running while vehicle was in motion, then could not restart.

This car is a melon. It is less than 4 years old and in the past six months I have had two major issues. The transmission died and there is a recall on other Chrysler town and country's for this same problem but not my car. Now the electrical control unit that controls all the actions of the vehicle (wipers, turn signals, etc) has died and has to be replaced.

In June the engine had to be replaced in my vehicle. In may, the oil container was replaced. Now in September the transmission is being replaced. Last year sometime, there were electrical issues addressed. Now the air conditioning in the back of the vehicle does not work. It seems we are totally rebuilding the Chrysler Town & Country 2015 all at substantial costs to me. While they are putting in a new transmission, they tell me that they are too busy to check the electrical issue and the air conditioning troubles. Yet I waited for nearly a month for a westchester dealer to replace the engine and they did not honor my additional insurance by giving me a rental vehicle - so I had no transportation. I have had a horrible time with the troubles, inconveniences and costs. Don't I have any rights here? I was driving my vehicle on narrow streets in a busy resort area - thank god it was very early in the morning because the car just stopped running with no warning. This turned out to be transmission on Sunday morning labor day weekend! I am still in the resort area paying for housing while they "fix" my transmission. Parts were to arrive yesterday sept 10th but didn't arrive until early this evening. They are not sure they can have it fixed by Friday sept 13, 2019. Last summer the electrical stability went bonkers. That was another issue. Also my vehicle keeps going down in value. I owe more on it than it is now worth. Documentation is with my vehicle which is currently undergoing transmission repairs. That is documentation of all of these repairs since making this purchase less than 18 months ago.

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.

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

1) the automatic transmission is jerking when it switches to another gear at speeds less than about 40 mph. 2) the back up camera stopped working right at 35,000 miles.

Car shakes hard when applying brakes at around 50 to 70 mph, 1st time into dealer said it was alignment paid for that, 2nd time into dealer said it was motor mounts ? paid for that, still have that problem will never buy Chrysler prod. Again !!!. . . P s I have my tires rotated and balance ever 5,000 mil.

Engine hesitates and transmission jerks upon accelerating and at times during normal highway and /or stop and go traffic. Complained to dealership where car was purchased twice (locates on route 60 brandon FL) and response was no issues encountered. Mind you manufacturer warranty is about to expire.

Noise coming from engine every time I go over 55 speed, also noise from windshield as if there is air coming into the car. Noise from speakers as the car speeds.

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.
