1 Blind Spot Detection problem

Failure Date: 02/27/2025

1st vehicle was driving heavy so I got it checked and the transmission had to be replaced, this was in July?? 2024. The vehicle was still driving heavy 2nd was the traction light(s) vsr?? light turned on 3rd the check engine light came on and gave a p0420 code. The right catalytic converter was replaced in March 2025 4th the same day I went to repare the catalytic converter (before replacement), the blind spot system warning came on along with 1. My windshield wipers turning on and off by themselves, 2. Rpm went down to 0, 3. The low fuel sign came on even though I just fueled up and the needle dropped to e, 4. The mph also went down to 0, 5. The tire detection came on + the light, 6. The abs light came on, 7. The traction lights came, 8. Heating/a/c system dropped to a lower pressure and then regained pressure, 9. There is a skip when accelerating, 10. Won't properly read mileages used11. I lose control of my turn signals, lights, wipers and hazard light as well as the powered windows everything turned off and I gained control again then it started again I turned the vehicle off but the lights kept turning on and off and I kept gaining control then losing it all of this occurs while I am driving, at a stop, or just turning on the vehicle yes this possesses an issue for my and the safety of others no and yes about the confirmed issues with a certified dealership no because I am scheduled for an appointment with a Chrysler dealer tomorrow (Mar. 20th,2025) yes because I have gone to other dealers and they cannot figure out what the main issue is no the issue has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance rep. , etc. Yes and no to other warnings I knew someone was off because when I turn the key to the run position right before I turn the vehicle on, the check engine light stays on if I leave it in that position until all the other lights turn off, the check engine light remains on when I turn the vehicle completely on, the check engine light disappears.

2 Blind Spot Detection problem

Failure Date: 05/02/2022

1) check engine light appears and engine loses power when going up inclines on highway (bridge, hill, etc. ) cruise control shuts off involuntarily and even if you push the gas pedal to the floor, the vehicle decelerates. This causes a safety issue every time as cars in other lanes are swerving around me as I haven't enough power to adequately climb the hill. Dealer service dept says it's most likely a camshaft issue, based on their diagnostic code p0369. This started happening @ 65,000 miles - ridiculously early for such a major engine repair. My own mechanic says this is a known issue with Chrysler Town & Country, yet fca refuses to stand behind their product. 2) blind spot sensor failed @ 30,000 miles - also a known issue. Dealer tech said it's not worth the $800 repair because it will go out in another 30,000 due to poor design (sensor gets caked with mud/grime over time due to nonsensical placement), making this safety option useless. Vehicle is available for inspection of both items upon request.

3 Blind Spot Detection problem

Failure Date: 04/26/2021

Second time in two years the blind spot monitor module and wire connection has corroded and destroyed the module, terminals and connectors. It happened driving down the highway the warning bell and message came on saying it is nor working. When ever I drive the vehicle the same thing happens had a 2011 town and country and the same thing happened with it. They want over a $1000 to fix it each time.
