I do not have a siriusxm subscription, they sent an unsolicited offer for a 3 month trial and activated satellite system on radio, model 430n, in vehicle. This happened sometime after March 4, 2024. I did not listen to siriusxm on vehicle until sometime mid April. I noticed changes in the way some safety related systems worked and finally realized they started with the trial activation. What changed: the is no audible warning sound, just silence when the following are turned on our activated; turn signals when blinking, blind spot is activated when changing lanes and a vehicle is in blind spot, rear cross traffic warning when traffic present, rear parking collision warning when obstacle is present. Vehicle had audible warning sounds for all of this until satellite radio trial was activated. Why is a radio company able to disable required safety systems on a vehicle?.

I had to take my car to the dealership about 2 years ago for my headrest popping out and the said there was a recall then. I want to know if there still is a recall because my passenger headrest has done the same thing. Also my blindspot warning is not working. Also my video system does not work.
After most of the major electrical components were replaced a new battery, alternator and computer. Ran for a week then just died for no reason had to be jump started just to get it moving. Also the lane blind spot detectors are in a very bad place and are subject to weather and broke.

Confirmed cylinder number 2 misfire. Performed relative compression test and intake trace pull. Confirmed that number two has low compression and is directly affecting cylinder number fives intake pull. Removed spark plug and did a compression test on cylinder 2 it had 90psi of compression and the rest of the cylinders were at 148psi of compression. Used a bore scope and found cylinder damage in video attached vehicle needs a new engine to correct customers concern. When going up a small incline at 30-45mph engine would stall out. I have 3 little kids and I drive a lot for my job and want to be safe on the road! also my blind spot detectors have constantly been on since about 75,000 miles. It’s kind of a distraction when you are driving at night.

I kept getting a message that the blind spot system was unavailable. Once removed it smelled of burnt plastic and looked to be water damaged. Upon research I have learned that this could cause a fire and or damage other electrical components of the car.
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.
I was driving my 2012 Town & Country van on the expressway and the van started slowing down and were jerking backwards and forward it was trying to shut off. I became very afraid for my children safety as well as mine. Ignition switch was stalling while I was driving. The car behind me was driving so fast ,that I had to pull off the expressway before me and my family would die. This should be a recall so other family member would not die. Bad ignition switch can cost a family their life's. Please look into this I thank god that me and my kids are still alive. I would like to have a recall on this item( ignition switch) before it cause someone life. Please fix my van. Thank you.

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.
My engine needs to be replace. The dealer says the upper rod has damaged the engine and the engine needs to be replace ($5200. 00). Also, the actuator in the right sliding door had to be replaced.
