Check Engine Light On Problems of Chrysler Town & Country - part 1

Bought the car new in 2014, (it was the 6th Chrysler minivan I've owned since 1995. ) I love these minvans! this one has had an ongoing problem with cylinder #3 misfiring and causing violent shaking (as if it had a broken engine mount). The problem has always been diagnosed and eventually "fixed" by three different Chrysler service departments in nc, FL & va. (the problem occured on various trips). It was usually diagnosed as a faulty fuel injector. Most recently it was diagnosed as a spark plug failure due to a tiny crack in the insulation. They installed a new spark plug, and after leaving dealership and driving no more than 20 miles, violent shaking occured again. I immediatley returned to the dealership. This time #3 spark plug had "exploded" and caused the cylinder head to crack. All previous repairs were covered by the "lifetime" warranty purchased at the time of purchase in 2014. However this time, Chrysler insurance sent an investigator who determined that the damage was caused by the exploding spark plug and therefore denied coverage. The Chrysler service technician said the "pcm" failed, causing the spark plug failure. The insurance agent continues to deny the claim because their policy "does not cover spark plug problems" ! they now want me to pay $2500 for repairs. In all cases, the "check engine light" came on and I would return to a Chrysler dealership to have it checked. Their computer check always defined the problem as being something in cylinder #3, but inconclusive because of no obvious engine symptoms. They would reset the engine light and send me on my way until an actual problem occured, and then leave the vehicle for more detailed checking. Each time the problem occured at highway speeds and usually in heavy traffic on I-95. . . A dangerous time and place for engine problems to occur. Please note that every problem we've had with this vehicle has always been with cylinder #3 "misfiring". Is there a problem here?.

The van shuts down during speeds between 35-40 mph. There are no warning or check engine lights, just the traction light comes on and the rpm gauge goes to zero. When the engine shut down there is no power steering or power brakes. Today when the van shut off I was able to shift the vehicle into neutral, and start it, but 20 seconds later it shut down again. I attempted one more time and it started. I quickly shifted into drive to avoid being struck by another vehicle. The van has 165,000 miles. This started happening about 2 weeks ago and is intermittent. My wife and kids aren't able to drive this van due to this safety issue.

Most likely solution is to replace the oil pressure switch.

I own a 2014 town and country. The check engine light has come on at around 59800 miles. Brought to mechanic and he informed me cylinder 6 was misfiring. Upon further investigation he said the cylinder head was cracked. I called Chrysler because mechanic said they have extended warranty for this specific part. I was told my year is not covered. Only up to 2013. Upon researching the problem is still going on. With my year and others. This is a big problem and it needs to be addressed. Chrysler should stand by their product and fix these issues.

I purchased my vehicle in March of 2016 for the purposes of transporting 2 disabled family members. First, check engine light was coming on and stated that the crankshaft sensor we're not working. When I would drive while driving my vehicle would just shut off I feared getting hit by other vehicles. Then the fuel pump relay would stay on after shutting vehicle off until it would drain the battery. After, now my vehicle cranks but doesn't start at all. This is a hazard and dangerous what I am afraid of is that this is a common issue with these vehicles and the issue has not been looked at by the proper department or authority. I also brought this issue to Chrysler where I purchased the vehicle and they said they can not assist with the issue and no recalls have been put in place my vehicle has been parked for 5 months now.

I keep getting the same misfire codes 0306 0303. I've changed coils and sparkplugs and still, the check engine light stays on.

For about a year the car has been giving me problems while its being driven. When I come to a stop it shakes and has cut off on me. It would restart with no problem. Then it stopped giving me problems for a little while. Then last Thursday, I got off at an exit from the highway and when I braked behind a car at the light, it stopped a little rough. I took my foot off the brake to move up a bit and the car started going backwards real slow while it was still in drive. I had to put the car in park and turn it off for a few seconds and restart and it took me to my destination. I'm terrified to drive it with my grandchildren but need my vehicle. It amazes me about the complaints with this same problem and Chrysler is not acknowledging the problem. I pray that something tragic doesn't happen. I have had this car checked repeatedly and they can find nothing and the check engine light doesn't come on.

Car had a rough idle loss of power and check engine light illuminated. Car was diagnosed with misfire on cylinder 2 and cracked left cylinder.

My 2016 Chrysler town and county van with 90,000 had a check engine light come on and it had a rough idle. Took the the dealer and they stated engine cylinder 2 and 6 we at 80% below operating capacity. I will have to pay $2,700 for repair and replacement of engine head. I was told the warranty is expired and no recalls on the vehicle. Reference to service bulletin TSB 09-002-09-2011-2013 and warranty bulletin d-14-12 for model town and country-for same exact problem involving engine valve failure on the left side engine head . It appears the problem was not corrected in 2013. I called and did an online chat with Chrysler they said since warranty is expired contact the local dealer for assistance.

While driving the vehicle dashboard lit up like a christmas tree and the engine completely shut off locking the wheel. After taking it to the dealership they found nothing wrong. About a month later we were driving home from a soccer game and the car came out of gear while driving about 70 mph. The rpm shot up and I was unable to drive over 40 mph. We ended up staying the night and having the car towed to the dealership. They replaced the sensor solenoid pac. 6 months later I was driving home from a soccer tournament and the same exact thing happened again however I had slowed the vehicle down driving through a residential area and went to speed up after re-entering the highway. The rpm's were at 4 to 5 going 30 mph. I pulled over turned off the car and let it sit for 5 minutes. I was able to drive normally after that , then the check engine light came on. I took the vehicle to the dealership and they said there is nothing the could do. Stored codes ecu: abs dtc: c212a16 description: stored- system voltage-circuit voltage below threshold; ecu: pcm dtc: p075a description: lc solenoid circuit ecu: dmfl/dmfr dtc: b21a1 description: stored- ecu reset/recovery occurred.

Sudden engine shutoff: the engine has started randomly shutting off at low speed, about 20 mph, causing the power steering and brakes to be lost. There are no indicator lights, check engine light, or alarms at all that come on, except for the skid warring light. There are no engine codes recorded. It is very dangerous and cannot be reproduced to be repaired. It has happened several times now, twice in one day, but usually days apart.

While traveling down hill in my neighborhood at approximately 15-20mph my 2005 Chrysler town and country shut down. I did not notice if any check engine lights came in because I was just focused on not hitting anything or dying. However I did notice that the gas hand said it was on e, the speedometer said 0, and the temperature gage was at the coolest setting. The breaks stoped working completely and the steering wheel was very hard to turn. If it had not been for the speed bumps in my are hood I would have wrecked for sure. Thankfully I didn't and inwas able to slowy make the turn (with a lot of effort) I needed to at the end of the hill. The headlights and the radio did work the entire time. Once I was able to stop the van completely I turned the key to the off position and restated it. It did start on the 1st try and I was able to make it home (less then 1 mile away). I am now terrified to drive it because no one can figure out what is wrong with it. The van has been kept in good shape, oil changes, scheduled maintenance, etc. And it's never been in an accident.

Vehicles was parked in driveway went to start vehicle and it will not start, vehicle will turn over and act like it,is not getting fuel. If vehicle sits for some time eventually it will start 3-4 times and then issue will occur again. Vehicle started with no problem the previous day, problem occurred without any warning, no check engine light displayed on dash. When vehicle is off fuel pump can be heard still running with ignition off and battery has to be disconnected in order to stop fuel pump from running and not drain battery. Battery is brand new, fuses have been checked and are in good condition. In researching online I have found others to have the same issue but have not seen any recall. Was able to fiind possible temporary fix by using a fuel pump relay bypass but have not tried this option. . I have called and spoken to be Chrysler service department and have been told that it here is no recall and all I can do is have car towed to them and let them check it out. I would think with recall they have done on Jeep and Dodge protects there would be something they can tell. Same issue has occurred with the Dodge caravan which is basically the Chrysler town n country. Please help!!!!!!!!!.

Every single time I fill up the gas tank, the car almost immediately after pulling out of the gas station sputters, stalls and becomes non-responsive. Last time (9/18/2016) I lost control of the car in the middle of the road and it completely stopped. Another time (early June, 2016), I drove into the freeway right out of the gas station and the engine stop responding, blocking entire traffic. The check engine light came on in few occasions and the code was (according to mechanic) is the fuel sensor malfunctioning. The strangest part is that once it stalls, I can restart the car and drive it without any problems until the next fueling. The mechanic could not find anything wrong but suggested that it was a design flaw due to vapor/liquid separator in the fuel tank and that he has seen this same problem in many Chryslers/jeeps made in late 2000s. While it drives fine, this problem put myself and my family in several dangerous situations in the middle of the traffic.

Check engine light on and runs very rough at idle at all times whether engine is cool and/or warmed up. When hooked up to a code scanner it reads a permanent code "misfire in cylinder 3, so I had all six spark plugs replaced as well as the ignition coils. After the new parts were installed the vehicle still runs rough and check engine light still on even if it is cleared due to the same permanent code "misfire in cylinder 3". After research there are "cylinder misfire" recalls for Chrysler town and country vans " due to excessive cylinder wear" on the same make and model year vehicle I have. I have entered my vehicles VIN on this site and it does not come up as my vehicle having this recall. I have done even more research and my town and country has the same engine issue as individuals with the misfire recall. I am hoping something can be done.

Was leaving work when my check engine light came one, along with the traction control light and the brakes got hard. Car stopped, turned it off to turn it back on, and it would not start. All lights, radio, etc came on, but engine would not turn over or engage. Do not think fuel pump was engaging either. Tried numerous things, including the tipm bypass and it still will not start. 90% plus of my driving is highway. I got very lucky that this system failure happened when it did, as a few minutes later and I would have been on a very busy highway, as well as if it had happened on my way to work.

While traveling in the midwest, cleveland, ohio, my check engine light came on while driving. I tried waiting a couple of gas tanks to see if it would turn off automatically. It did not. I was scheduled to leave cleveland, ohio and drive back to mobile, alabama with my grandson and daughter the weekend of Dec. 10, 2015, I felt it was prudent to have the van looked at for the check engine light problem. I took the van into washington and lee service on Dec. 8, 2015. They diagnosed the problem as a fouled ignition coil, and replaced the coil, all the spark plugs and a gasket. I retrieved my car on Dec. 10, 2015 in the early afternoon. That same evening, the check engine light came back on, so I returned the van to them. I received a call midafternoon that I needed to take the car to a dealer for service, which is when I found out about the service bulletin regarding the engine. I dropped the car off at deacon¿s Chrysler Jeep in cleveland, ohio on December 10, 2015 and picked it up on December 14, 2015 at approx. 6 pm. This necessitated finding a hotel room for the duration. In addition, I needed to secure transportation. I picked up the car too late to leave that day and had to stay until the morning of Dec. 15, 2015. Upon returning to mobile, alabama, the van began t shudder and shake when braking. This has happened before and our mechanic performed the repairs. My husband decided to check on the NHTSA site to see if there were any other defects in the van that consumers were not notified of. We took the van to the autonation Chrysler Dodge, where we originally purchased the vehicle. The dealer determined that the repair did not fall under the service bulletin. I dispute that, the service bulletin specifically states that the front rotor and pads are part of the problem.

Since the vehicle had been worked on for a bad intake gasket. Every time I cross any rail road crossings my check engine light illuminates and the car feels as it will stall. I am scared for my family of getting stuck, at least if anything does happen, I will have made this report for others.
